    SpaceX has two Starship prototypes on the pad at the same time

    alt text

    It looks like a scene from science fiction: Two gleaming silver rocket ships standing side-by-side under the Texas sun awaiting their turn to fly.

    But the shiny, finned SpaceX rockets — Starship SN9 and SN10 prototypes — actually exist and met at the pad for the first time Friday (Jan. 29) at the company's South Texas facility near Boca Chica Village. The SN10 vehicle, SpaceX's latest in a line of new reusable Starship prototypes, rolled out to the pad as its SN9 counterpart awaits its own test flight, which could launch as soon as Monday (Feb. 1).

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Is it really wise to put these two prototypes so close together?
      What if a failure drops one on top of the other?
