theres plenty of poo poo to dunk on musk for, but rockets blowing up is a common thing in rocket development

no, this is the shiny distraction that the actual ceo gives him so he doesn't gently caress with the rest of development; he's deffo putting his sticky jam hands all over this

wings are very, very heavy. reusable rockets are naturally going to be a bit heavier than single-use ones because designing in robustness amd durability isn't free, but it's barely a rounding error compared to wings. the reason the shuttle had wings were mainly that it made it much simpler to do with the computer tech of the time, and because it made the shuttle able to turn during reentry and choose a landing spot that wasn't directly under its orbit with great precision, much more than anything without wings could have e: this won't have nearly the ability to turn that the shuttle did, but it will have some, and much more of its thrust can be dedicated to lifting cargo instead of lifting its own wings

personally im a fan of warhammer 40k boarding torpedoes. just fill a bunch of unguided rocket with marines, fire them in a scatter pattern and trust that a few will get where they need to go

the shuttle could return satellites the size of a school bus from orbit though, and that's both cool as hell and never been done by anything before or since
