Guest Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I'm not surprised but I'd like to hear what happened, any word yet? As I understand it the settings on the welders were wrong and produced sub optimal welds so this puppy was always going to be the runt of the litter. Spoiler (the more i see stuff like this the more i feel like we are at least a decade away from a mars flight. Which isnt bad for me since I need to finish my degrees and stuff before then so I can be involved in some way... XD I NEED MOAR TIME @[email protected]!)

Scotius 3,028 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Welp... there was a "low flying aircraft" after all. But it's fine - it's what prototypes are build for. Moar data for engineers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RealKerbal3x 5,787 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Woah, that was an even more energetic RUD than MK1! I wonder if this was a planned test-to-failure, or if it was an accident like MK1. Given that Elon's recent tweets have suggested that SN1 wouldn't fly, I'm tentatively leaning towards the former.

I just hope this means that they are getting better at building them. Oh, well. If Saturn V flew then maybe this one will too (maybe, hopefully, please). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were going to static fire it, and they did the test with cryogenics. I'd guess that this wasn't a test to failure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve seen chatter that the welds were suspect well before today, something about the machines being set wrong, and Musk already mentioned the welds on Deuce will be vastly improved. Saw some speculation that it might have been a failure in a feed line, too, since the big release came from the very bottom before the tank imploded. The upper tank was actually pretty strong, it took hitting the ground to finally cause it to rupture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
