Message: Not to Forget.SpaceX.. The Final Frontier
That rocket there is not made out of tinfoil baby....That's very expensive high grade specialized STAINLESS STEEL. Only the best for SpaceX...I can only assume that to maintain National Security that all metals for this program will be domestically sourced...NOT made in China. So...Looks like Elon is going to need more than just a mining contract for nickel, but one for chrome as well...Hint, hint.

SpaceX plans to build its Mars-colonizing spaceship out of a different stainless-steel alloy....
...SpaceX is about to make a bone-deep tweak to its Starship Mars-colonizing spacecraft.
The California-based company built its first few Starship prototypes out of a stainless-steel alloy known as 301. But aerospace engineers have been using that particular metallic blend since the middle of the last century, and it's time for SpaceX to make a change, Elon Musk said.
"We should be able to do better in the 2020s than they did in, like, the '50s, you know?" Musk said Monday (March 9) during a keynote conversation at the Satellite 2020 conference in Washington, D.C. "So, I think we'll start switching away from 301 maybe in the next month or two."
