magnemoe Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 1 hour ago, RealKerbal3x said: 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. Yes, they are probably a bit confused. Don't think engine replacements on rockets at launchpad are even in the book. On planes I think engine replacement are pretty standard as in they are close to units you replace if something who is not easy to fix.

Delta dart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 If sn9 sticks the landing and a museum requests it for a display would they give it to them or would they scrap it? TRI VENT! And condensation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think SN9 is bolted down to the stand anymore, so any static fire would turn into a dynamic fire very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
