Curious if this is related to the issues that they're now experiencing.

He was pretty much trashing lunar starship (which makes sense for the first landings) but seemed to be very much cheerleading SLS. It's boggling to me that no one (not even destin) is talking about scooting a lander + engine module up with F9H and rendezvousing with crew brought up with a normal F9.... After all F9H is even slated to bring up the lunar space station.

This would be relatively easy and doable basically "today" plus or minus a year or three of capsule design

Edit: clarified to say "lunar starship", added details on F9H

Can you please explain why trashing starship makes sense.

Destin's video was shortsighted but I believe his new video is better on understanding it is not about just flags any more.
