GuessingEveryDay Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 8 hours ago, StrandedonEarth said: I would tend to agree. For instance, riding a ferry, passengers feel the engine more than they hear it. I imagine a deaf person would be more attuned to the vibrations of the world around them, and should definitely be able to feel a rocket launch if close enough, without being too close. I must admit, @GuessingEveryDay, that now I'm curious as to just what level/frequencies of infrasound you can detect, like a loud subwoofer. But that's a question for another thread. Perhaps you wouldn't mind posting about it in the Fun Facts! thread, or creating a thread in The Lounge? If not, I understand. Sure, I'll work on the censorship so y'all don't come after me.

I would like to know the duration and actual date/time of the test, not just the cumulative test time. Is it running rich? I'm looking at the orange flames on the lower/ground side of the plume. I wonder if that is an artifact of the horizontal orientation? It is very satisfying to see the video for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be organic plant bits, wood dust, pollen, spider turds, bug parts etc in the dust. Makes sense. They should probably have plate there instead of dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked in a bit, but if things haven't changed, it's not their fault, their stream got copyright claimed by some Brazilian media company.

tater Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just now, mikegarrison said: That's what the reports say. But Bezos has a lot more money than Blue Origin does. True, but it's privately held by him, right? He named the recovery ship after his mom... what's a couple hundred million, he blew a huge multiple of that just by having a girlfriend (while simultaneously having a wife ). More on point, the point of the ship vs barge was that underway it was a more stable platform in heavier seas to improve launch windows WRT weather.
