Space and Science BS Thread

He recently had a video with Boom, too.

All the while they ignore the view of Starship in space. Where does the earth go? Wouldn’t we see it all the time.

Flat-earthers = attention seekers…

I did see that, it was also cool.

 

SpaceX did a 33 engine static fire of Booster 13, approximately 8-9 seconds long, just 11 days after IFT-5. Incredible cadence out of Starbase right now.

 

We’ll just have to wait and see if the rest of the OLM and tower need repairs or not. I’m guessing there will be some but hopefully with each launch (or maybe the shift to tower 2) they get closer to 0.

Wonder if it’ll ever come out?

 

Funny, they’re still calling it Artemis III…

Cool nonetheless, glad to hear something about a US moon landing..

I wonder how it affects the turn around since they planned to reuse the capsules at least.

I've been watching off an on. It looks like the OLM upgrades before IFT5 held up well. We haven't seen the BQD flex lines replaced (yet) nor the outer 20 start up flex lines replaced (yet). It could be that the SF of B13 was also a check of those pipes to check to see if they needed replacing.

 

Or maybe they’d already done it. Those lines were on site much earlier than in the past. I think those are the easy parts though. The pins, clamps, QD hood and ship QD arm along with cabling on the chopsticks are usually where repairs crop up. Not that any of those are more difficult, just that they’ve all seemed to add to the laundry list to get through. Hopefully the clamps are holding up better. Did they do anything over the summer to better protect the chopsticks cabling? I only know they did a ton of work reinforcing the actual structure.

Amazing detail from an OTC scope..

 

I'm pretty sure cable trays and piping was up armored. It certainly hasn't seen any work here recently, so it might be "okay".

Something tells me that one isn’t enough. Also a higher orbit and longer duration.

 

This means if your 24, there’s always been a human in space…

Well, even if you’re an old fart like me there’s been no shortage of space cadets.
