RealKerbal3x Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 A quick summary of last night's aborted static fire attempt. Hopefully everything will go to plan tonight and we'll see this beast fire up for the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealKerbal3x Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 SN5 will fly. They're just being extra careful, which means we have to be patient. But while we wait for SN5 to get going, we get to see yet another prototype come together in a matter of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More crew is nice one major problem with how ISS is run is that with 6 crew 80% of the time is used maintaining the station. Its an major reason why NASA want the ISS replacement to be an commercial station with its own maintenance and hotel staff. They want to sign an long term contract for adding their own lab modules but welcome others to do so or use the crew lab assistants to do stuff for them. Now if you are an handyman with EVA experience janitor here an very well paid position. Probably hoping that making it an tourist destination will be an buff to the food and spare time activities, also more spare time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealKerbal3x Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Prop loading is definitely happening now, SN5 is venting. Edit: Hmm, some people in the stream chat are saying the test has been aborted due to a boat in the exclusion zone. We'll see soon enough.
