What we know is that Starlinks v2.0 are heavier than v1.5, and like 1.5 is made to fit the Falcon 9 fairing 2.0 is made to fit as good as possible the Starship one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgently Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 My first thought when I saw Musk's offer to buy out Twitter: Slow down! That is a lot of Raptor 2s! The man does juggle a lot of projects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he uses his billions to hire the best and brightest... it won't work. Social Media is an organic, fickle thing. The solution is to NOT CARE. Stop meddling with engagement. That's the point. The algorithm literally flags illegal (by US code) speech, and nothing else. There, done. There is no "judgement." Anyone who doesn't like something someone else says doesn't have to read it, and if they want to push back, make a better argument. That's the solution. More speech. If there is a word people are not supposed to use, tell people what it is, and 100% of the time is is censored, for example (forums do this, silly as it is). If an alternate spelling takes root ($ for S, 1 for i, whatever), that gets appended (let people know that this will happen). OCR can deal with images now in real time (my phone recognizes phone numbers, etc, in pics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccab Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Destination unclear, it's possible it's rolling back to get its grid fins. That, or yesterday's cryo also completed the thrust simulator testing targets and it's going back to the OLM; this footage does indicate that yesterday there might have been a thrust simulation test on B7 during the cryo Edited April 15, 2022 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a fine rocket, you'd hate to have it get up there, just to tear up, as it'd cause everyone else to, as well. Tear up, I mean.
