In other news, Elon Musk on 14 April Twatted "Thinking about putting stainless steel dragon wings on the Starship." Scott Manley tested it in Kerbal Space Program and got into orbit and down to Mach 3 before it exploded. He has a T-shirt — "It was going pretty well ...until it exploded".

In an absolutely serious tweet Elon musk suggested that dragon wings might enhance the capabilities of his stainless steel starship concept. Thanks to the power of commercial spacecraft simulation software we are able to test this concept and prove that it was more than just a joke
