Delta dart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Its official. At least today they might take advantage of the opportunity and make SN7.2 pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikenike Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yeah. They cancelled todays TFR. Not happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta dart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I missed SN7 and SN7.1 so I would like to catch 7.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what they say - better scrub than RUD. Besides, there's a good chance they can still fly tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealKerbal3x Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Possible reason for the scrub/delay: I don't understand though, SN8 had engine swaps and the FAA didn't seem to have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta dart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 According to the NSF stream they are attempting to launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta dart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Looks like they might attempt to get another TFR for today judging by his reaction and the fact that they are continuing with launch procedures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Just now, Delta dart said: continuing with launch procedures. Or doing an SN9 WDR/static fire, or doing SN7.2 testing. The TFRs are in place for any ground testing they might want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta dart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Tank farm activity maybe SN7.2 is gonna pop! Nope SN9 is being loaded for static fire/WDR or maybe just maybe a flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the penalties? There are possible criminal penalties for violating a TFR for pilots, and it looks like the max civil penalty is 130k$. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/enforcement/enforcement_actions/ Asked a lawyer friend what he makes of it.

I don't really know to be honest. It's probably unwise to launch a rocket without FAA approval in any case. SN9 is now depressing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
