Well, it certainly lasted until every single one of the Raptors exploded. Look at those fireballs. Those are some big fireballs. /s Edited February 10 by darthgently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricktoberfest Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 On 2/1/2025 at 2:57 AM, Exoscientist said: That would be true if there were no issues of a danger to the public. But with the IFT-7 explosion public safety issues have arisen. A hypothetical scenario: suppose during the IFT-7 investigation the FAA finds Raptors commonly leak and catch fire during their landing burns, but SpaceX is able to contain the fires with fire shields and fire suppression. Do you think the FAA would keep that information from the public? Do you think the FAA should keep that information from the public? By the way, with so many airplanes having to be diverted after the IFT-7 explosion the NTSB may get involved in the investigation. The NTSB is much more hands on with their investigations than the FAA, which commonly let the companies themselves do the investigating. Bob Clark The FAA has no reason to share that information with the public, and airplanes were diverted according to a pre-approved debris management plan, so their job, or the NTSB, is to review the plan and make sure it went according to design, not to inform us unless there is reason to do so. If they choose to inform us of any investigation, they will most likely still not give you proprietary information and camera views Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 there is also itar, there is a limit to how much technical information they can publicly disclose. they have to go in more detail with the relevant agencies but those are probibly confidential.

.50calBMG Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I don't know guys, there was a bit of a glow after shutdown. I guess another raptor exploded after leaking again. It's clearly obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it could be the static firing had to be cut short from the intended length. Bob Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
