In fact, little bit of a tweet storm. 8 bar at top, 9 bar at base: Failed at interface between different stainless steels: Just a little something to keep in mind… The chamber pressure of the Kestrel engine on the Falcon 1 second stage was just 9.3 bar. In theory, then, the ullage pressure of Starship’s tanks is enough to pressure-feed a Kestrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotius Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 That's a lot of propellant crammed into a tank I'm very, very curious about what dV figures for fully operational Starship will look. How much performance can be squeezed out with couple of years of practice and modifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore_32 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My question is: if they watched the weather conditions not improving, why did they even rolled F9 to the launchpad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there was a small chance it would clear up. Besides, they actually have a small hangar nearby to store Falcon boosters. You can see it in some shots.

Always interesting when the cars and concrete buildings are burned and the trees are still green. We're going to need some major adjustments to how we build in the wildish west.
