Elon Musk perfectly explains why fully reusable orbital rockets are insanely hard to build
Our Earth has quite strong gravity and thick atmosphere. With known physics, building a fully reusable orbital rocket is only barely possible
"If this was a video game, the setting is 'Extreme Difficulty.' Not impossible, but extreme difficulty"
Because the physics are so unforgiving, everything has to be perfect. You can't just have a "good" rocket
You need:
• Exceptionally efficient engines
• An incredibly optimized, lightweight structure
• Advanced avionics and software
• A revolutionary, ultra-light heat shield for orbital reentry
There is zero margin for error. This is why making life multi-planetary is the hardest engineering challenge in human history
