tater Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Flaps both fixed. Was supposed to roll out 8 days ago. They lost 8 days. Also, I was texting with my friend at NASA just now and poked him a little by saying if someone at Green Run dropped a screwdriver they'd probably delay by 8 weeks to make sure it didn't damage anything. He laughed and said "Maybe longer than that, lol." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Just threw this together quickly with a rough pixel count to scale tank diameters, so roughly to scale. I tried to get about the same angle, hence the belly shot of STS. SN9 is a bocachicagal shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
