UPDATE: The aft-to-aft paradigm we explored in this episode has already been tossed out as unfeasible by SpaceX. Won't work. Surprised?
Episode 5 in the Debunking : StarShip series takes a hard look at the concept, viability, costs, and dangers of orbital refueling - since the StarShip logistics revolve around this unproven technology. Without orbital refuelling, StarShip will only ever be another LEO delivery system, if it ever flies to space at all.
We also had a little fun figuring out the explosive potential of a fully-fuelled system, which was eye-opening to say the least!
