Thank you! I'm still working full time to save the planet Cite error: There are <ref>

After my coworkers and investor $'s, Wikipedia is probably the most important support I have in that task. Wikipedia is important enough that I would spend a lot of my time working on it except for the aforementioned task where my hours are more valuable than hours spent editing Wikipedia, at least for now.
The reason I was motivated to edit the SpaceX Starship article is that I believe SpaceX Starship is at a crossroads right now, and I wanted to do something to help soften in the public eye what I am afraid might be a coming disaster. My whole professional career has been largely around aerospace in general, and specifically at making space flight affordable. SpaceX has done a great job thus far, and Starship is an admirable bold effort, but it could fail unfairly due to public/investor sticker shock.
The Super Heavy booster design with 33 engines is fairly likely to fail the first 3 to 10 times it is launched. This would be for the same complex reasons that the Russian N1 rocket failed Cite error: There are <ref>
tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N1_(rocket) ) .
I can't predict the future but I suspect that more than 2 to 3 successive failures could unfairly mean the end of Starship, perhaps of SpaceX, perhaps of Tesla (I own a Tesla.) It should NOT be that way. The public needs to realize how risky the Starship is. It is far riskier than the Falcon series. It deserves to go forward through at least 5-10 successive failures. My fear is that it won't get that chance. My hope was to somehow through Wikipedia point out the extreme risk of the Starship 33 engine design so that people and investors are prepared for failures. Maybe Elon Musk will do that in his press conference this evening. I hope so.
I am not saying that as a rocket scientist I would have done the Starship design differently. The US Apollo program considered the many engine approach and took the 5 engine compromise with the Saturn 5. That approach involves much more upfront expense, billions of dollars, that SpaceX probably couldn't afford. The 33 engine approach is less expensive up front and less expensive in the long run, with a likely cost spike in the middle to get through the possible 3-10 failures. The key is to ride through the failures. A key there is properly perparing people, particularly the investors.
I hope Starship succeeds, but perhaps I can't help through Wikipedia.
