Reduce marine pollution? Or for engineering studies? Spoiler Or for showing off to investors? Or for selling on Amazon eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome! I still really want to see video of Elon playing KSP sometime. Just pair up with some YouTuber and talk about SpaceX while Elon builds a a Starship replica in the background.

Geonovast Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Too bad they didn't have it up earlier, would have been really neat to see two F9s raised at the same time. Edit: Maybe they only have one transporter erector in Florida? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothalogh Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Too bad they did the abort after Max-Q, I had thought they would do it right at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinimumSky5 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If they're not careful with this pace of launches, they might start to become routine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Maybe they only have one transporter erector in Florida? Each launch pad has its own TEL, can’t really move them between without a ridiculous amount of work. Staff to operate those TELs and other systems tho... Also, great video from Scott Manley here. Apparently the second stage really did survive the breakup, hit the water around Mach 1, and there are pictures of the shockwave. ...they shoulda put a chute on it...

Guest Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 was a nice test ^_^! out of curiosity does anyone know the deltaV of that launch abort system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegarrison Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 6 hours ago, CatastrophicFailure said: More of the Trunk That Would Not Die It's light, stiff, and strong. Also looks quite draggy without a capsule in front of it. Not too surprising it could land in the ocean without much visible damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
