People are most definitely already designing payloads for it. Starship is very, very real in the aerospace industry where people actually understand the implications, even though the public is focused on Elon time bad

Your information is still correct. Planned launch for last November.

Take a step back, and think about the context here. The most powerful rocket of all time, which is also fully reusable, is about to test fire all of its engines tomorrow in a full launch configuration. You are criticizing timelines? This would have been like yelling at Ford for not making the Model T sooner.

Well if you're getting ad hominem about it, people have been proselytizing the same rhetoric since 2005 for SpaceX and it's infuriating. Obviously the timeline estimates have been way off. It's the damn actions that matter.
