  1. S24 at the same time will also have the final preparations for flight, like heat shield checks and replacements for instance. With this done, the path forward seems to be: - 33 engine static fire - restack - final WDR - launch!
  2. Everything is more impressive with vehicles this size
  3. I know internet comments aren't worth a lot without proof attached, but Zack is almost always extremely on point on stuff like this. Interesting
  4. That's fantastic - heavily reminds me of the lander estimated in the common planetary modules study here, weighting 360 tons for the best case estimation. There's no design or sketch attached to it unfortunately I assume the Soviet one in the picture also has no design/sketch/concept anything available for it right? Btw, what's the last one of the list, a Mars vehicle?
  5. Sorry but that doesn't help in any way. There were proposals for mars landers before any probe even reached it, and crewed Ganymede landers when the only data we had on the moon was from a brief Pioneer flyby around Jupiter. Same for Ceres and Deimos, which had crewed landers proposed for it decades before a single probe came close to any asteroid at all, and which are still untouched 50+ years later. Not to mention the fact that, again, HAVOC and other proposals from the early 2000s about Venus landings exist, despite the fact that 20 years had passed since the last Venus satellite launched and we didn't have much new info in the meanwhile that made them more possible than before
  6. Oh, the post is about crewed mission proposals
  7. Oh definitely if you have them, or European crewed proposals if there were any
  8. Does anyone know of crewed Venus landing proposals dating back to the 20th century? I don't think I've ever seen anything older than HAVOC, other than some NTRS docs from the 60s that were so preliminary they didn't even include a sketch of the vehicle. All I've found from the Apollo era are crewed flybys or orbiting missions, which is odd, and nothing after that for 30+ years Note: I'm including also floating vehicles, like HAVOC, in the definition of lander, since they're much easier in the case of Venus
  9. Yep, looks like there's one or two less custom tile shapes thanks to that
  10. Look at the straight panel in the bottom, between the flap and the main tank
  11. Given MLK Jr day and the relatively short notice I'd say full WDR here, but you never know
  12. This was never confirmed, it was just speculation
  13. "On Thursday, Jan. 12, the International Space Station mission management team polled “go” to move NASA astronaut Frank Rubio’s Soyuz seat liner from the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft to Dragon Endurance to provide lifeboat capabilities in the event Rubio would need to return to Earth because of an emergency evacuation from the space station. The seat liner move is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Jan. 17, with installation and configuration continuing through most of the day Wednesday, Jan. 18." I truly wonder where the idea that the two are compatible came from
  14. Probably from the fact that Rubio's seat is going to be relocated to Dragon until MS-23 is ready
  15. What? I'm talking about MS-22, the only lifeboat the Russians on the ISS currently in case of an accident have because of political choices. What are you talking about?
  16. The 39A tower now has chopsticks ready to go on it - the next major item would be either protection panels around the tower or the main launch mount, which we know to be almost ready from leaked pics of one Falcon hangar at Cape
  17. lmao, that's an interesting way to call MS-22
