Still... HYPE. I think that's just a generic "start of the day" time. Fin hype! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was an abort then we probably wouldn't be seeing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Farm venting... means it's 30-40 minutes at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the stream start time was ever indicative of when they actually plan to perform the test. They have all day to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta dart Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 In the NSF stream you can see boats driving in front of the camera. SN8 IS VENTING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the boats the 9 meter wide and 100 ton rocket might confuse their boat for an landing barge Seriously its only two ways to deal with fools like this, first you sue them for the cost of the delay, this can be expensive fast. You sue the ones you catch and leave it to them to get more to share the costs of the scrub. Obviously if its an return from orbit you are on an pretty fixed trajectory and here its just evolution in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta dart Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Perfect example of Darwinism right here. Small venting now. Think I see a ring on the oxygen header tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Road closure was updated to end at 5:20 CST (23:20 UTC) which probably means we're looking at a launch attempt near the end of the window, as they need the extra road closure time at the end to safe the vehicle (or the burning wreckage).

Delta dart Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 So is this a scrub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 And the flaps are apparently strapped, so they need to go out and remove that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
