Wjolcz Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) A couple other things slipped in Boca Chica too, it seems. First the concrete tube thing fell and more recently one of the steel rolls under a tent. Hopefully no one is hurt and it doesn't slow down Starship's development too much.

mikegarrison Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 In that first accident, it was windy AF, based on the way the warning flag at the top of the crane was whipping. I wonder if that contributed? In the second accident I couldn't tell for sure, but it looked like maybe one of the nylon straps broke.

Do the visible Falcon and Starship shapes match their colliders figure? Maybe they forgot that the visible hull is 24-angle, while colliders are probably 16-angle?

Wjolcz Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 So they are obviously(?) making the second nose cone section, but why are the windows square? The last time someone put square windows on a pressurised vessel it didn't end well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps an test to see how holes impact the strength of material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Spoiler These holes are on purpose. How should they breath in the space, when the oxygen inside is over? So, they made several shutters/flies in the wall. They are squared because it's easier to make a squared hinged cap that a round one. There should be also a latch, to keep the cap closed when it's not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
