'SpaceX is Hiding Us what's really Wrong with Starship!'', Engineers revealed...
Over two years and nine flights in—some say Starship is falling short.
Critics claim SpaceX overpromised and underdelivered, calling the progress slow and the results underwhelming.
But are these claims fair? What’s really behind the criticism—and how should SpaceX respond?
Let’s dive into the full story in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
For those who love aerospace, few things are more exciting than watching the daily progress of a rocket program, experiencing the emotional highs of each launch, and witnessing the journey from failure to success. This continuous evolution is a source of endless fascination and passion.
However, for others who take a more practical and results-driven perspective, the focus is different. These individuals tend to evaluate a project based on tangible outcomes. And from that point of view, after more than two years and nine test flights, Starship has not yet reached orbit, has not successfully landed both of its stages, and has shown no concrete progress related to the Moon or Mars. These are the facts they choose to highlight.

Beyond the lack of visible milestones, critics often dig deeper to highlight what they see as fundamental contradictions in the Starship program—beginning with its design philosophy. One of the most discussed topics involves the relationship between Starship’s thrust, mass, and payload capacity.
Let us start with the question of thrust. Starship is often promoted as the most powerful rocket ever built. This statement is likely true in theory, but some argue that the rocket has yet to demonstrate its full potential. For instance, the Raptor 2 engine is rated at around 230 tons of thrust. With 33 engines, the Super Heavy booster could produce a total liftoff thrust of approximately 7,590 tons. Raptor 3 is expected to boost that number even further, with estimates ranging from 9,000 tons to possibly 10,000 tons. These figures are indeed impressive and would make Starship the most powerful launch system on Earth.

However, SpaceX has never officially confirmed that the rocket has reached these numbers in practice. And without verified performance at those levels, the estimated payload capacity has also not been met. For example, the original V1 version of Starship was believed to be capable of carrying up to 100 tons to orbit, yet real-world performance suggests that it may only support a payload of around 50 tons. V2 has been estimated to handle between 150 and 200 tons, but in reality, it might only be managing around 100 tons.
This shortfall raises concerns that SpaceX may have overstated the capabilities of its rocket and engine system. And when the actual performance fails to meet the initial claims, it causes doubt about the viability of the long-term mission plans, especially those involving lunar and Martian travel.
