Beccab Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) from the comments, the person who was filming believes this cable drag chain is too big to be part of the arms and it instead will go up and down the tower Edited October 11, 2021 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) It prooves that they are actually building a space lift, and the tower is its ground stop. Now they are trying to stack the tether. *** Just in case, after watching the videos in kOS thread... Do they realize that the Kerbin re-entry speed is 2.6 km/s rather than 7.8 km/s, so to say "it works in KSP" they should have the RSS installed?

Beccab Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20210020835 NTRS document about starship reentry observation, with a few important new informations: - In August when it was published it was targeting March 2021 as a reentry observation opportunity. The EA hadn't come out on that, so depending on wether that was a limiting factor or not in the evaluation the date has probably shifted either right or left. We'll see, personally I believe in ~february - Starship tiles are called Starbrick - Was speculated before, but NASA will observe reentry using WB-57F planes (see below): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading through the Wikipedia article on it, yeah, it has a LOT of lifting surface, both horizontal and vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
