       @Starprophet I am assuming titanium and carbon composite, what does that section weigh?  Thank you.

       @morogthetiny SpaceX Starship is made of thin sheets of stainless steel, similar to the Centaur upper stage and the Atlas 1 booster.

       @Starprophet oh, so taking advantage of a stainless steel balloon.  Strength under tension,  So the upper stage numbers for weight are mainly motors, tanks and other propulsion focused material.  1500 metric tons of propellant, it is really amazing to think about that contained in just 85 metric tons of material.   It really is a steel balloon.  The loss of so few missiles is a real accomplishment when dealing with this type of tech.  The materials have had to be spot on, awesome job.
