It seems reasonable to me.

Getting the Starship back is of huge value of them, and one of the main things that would stop that would be to lose enough engines that you don't make it to orbit. There's some payload number that lets you make it to orbit with, say, 2 engines failing to start - and beyond that, you just lose control of the vehicle all the time so it doesn't matter.

Assuming the payload is low enough value, it makes sense to fill it up as far as you can without lowering the probability of success unrealistically.

I suspect it is. I think the real problem was sites like craigslist (and online advertising in general) removing much of the (classified, job listing, etc) advertising that made publishing a newspaper profitable.

Nobody tell him. NASA's doing pretty well at the moment.

Except for all the canceled projects like returning samples from Mars.

When I "pay cash" for a medical procedure it's actually with a credit card.

Just means I'm paying them directly instead of making them deal with my insurance.

It's the same sort of people that think they're making art when they take a photograph with their iPhone.

My friend who is professional artist argues that no photography is art. If you disregard his view then you need to define where art begins and 'some rando with a camera' ends.

How are you going to suffocate when the thrusters are sending out compressed air?

Nitrogen, actually.

Except the point of the original post is that has changed.
