At least STP-2 will have an FH-compatible octograbber so this won't happen again. Funnily I've heard the titanium grid fins being quoted at over a million dollars each, meanwhile the engines are a fraction of a million each. I think their total costs might be comparable! Makes you wonder which end of the rocket is more expensive. Glad to hear they're making a new octograbber.

RCgothic Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 The engine bells shouldn't be too difficult to replace I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempting... nighttime RTLS would be pretty awesome, and that’s not too far past my bedtime, plus I’m off Wednesday now that I think of it. Hmmm... this could actually work...

Or Boeing astronauts, FWIW. This sucks. Maybe they got lucky and it's just a piece of ground support hardware, not the D2 itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
