Entropian Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Soon they're going to have to do T+ aborts. Hey, something isn't right! Bring the rocket back down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they bother to write the software for it, I bet they could actually abort a high-altitude flight into just a short hop within a couple seconds of launch.

RCgothic Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Looks like the WB-57 isn't going to make it. Is SN8 going to be the largest single stage rocket ever launched? Suspect it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
