  1. Final Delta-II launch highlights.
  2. No solar panels on 2018 BFS? ....methane/lox generators for power?
  3. https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/9fqrrk/wildass_speculation_thread_30_1_what_the_hell_is/
  4. Single engine design across booster and spacecraft will speed up development a lot and add quite a bit of safety factor. And the sL engine is way more robust than the vac. Less likely to be damaged by landing/takeoff debris. Could be a smart way to hit project goals sooner.
  5. All sea-level engines give up 20s of Isp .... payload would be130t to orbit....and maybe 120t to mars surface.
  6. I wonder what they will call it? butt-petals? vac-skirt?
  7. 7 mid ratio engines? They don't look nearly as big as the 200ER vacs. Butt-skirt vac attachment? And where are the landing gear? in the fins? back to 3 again? Wow that is quite a revision. Edit : Those bells close to 1.3m? Maybe they are standard 2017 sea-level.
  8. Point-to-point BFR will not use a full load of fuel..... ....a half load of fuel (1500t in the booster+500t in the ship) will get 30t payload (250 people and luggage?) most places on the planet (9700 m/s) Estimate dry masses are 208t for the booster and 85t for the ship.

  13. sep....parker is on its way.
  14. Those plumes are gigantic.
  15. 3min to parker space probe launch (delta IV)
  16. Electron to launch in about 24 hrs. https://rocket.watch/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLab/ https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=82.0 Upper stage test for electron (4 days ago) : https://twitter.com/Peter_J_Beck/status/1008621846554542081 https://imgur.com/ZvrU2RY
