SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is a big fan of Game of Thrones and just before the Season 8 premier last night he Tweeted something along the lines of adding stainless-steel dragon wings to Starship. “With steel membrane wings like a Dragon, we may be able to lower Starshipโs orbital reentry temp to ~1000 degrees C, which would allow the whole surface to be uncooled bare metal,” said Musk.
Crew Dragon has yet to ferry actual humans to the International Space Station, but eventually, it will have some dragon riders on board in the form of NASA astronauts. However, they just won’t be wearing stylish fur coats like a certain queen we all know. Starship, sans the dragon wings, currently exists in a prototype “hopper” form for testing purposes.
