I really had doubts about Artemis but it had a successful launch and I hope problems that have plagued this vehicle have been solved. I still have a lot of doubts about Starship. It still looks like a scam to me. You can't even fire 14 of the booster engines without wrecking the launch pad. I think the heat shield tiles will not withstand any realistic re-entry, and the upper stage's landing legs are a joke. It won't be stable on the kinds of surfaces you are going to find on the moon or Mars. Correct that problem and the payload capacity is severely reduced. Meanwhile, it's above freezing here and that's good. Sunshine? Maybe.
