Do you think this will go on BN1, or is it just in Boca Chica for mounting checks/storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 BN1 I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 That grid fin is what, ~7x12 ft? (pallets on lift, std pallet is 48x40 inches) A 3x5 square bit fits as a large rectangle within the look of the previous renders. Will need more sections, then an outer line.

StrandedonEarth Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Scrubbed for weather at the Cape or the recovery zone? I know Soyuz can launch in a blizzard, but it can't land in one, because it can't land! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 ^^^that's sorta what I was getting at before. I put it at a different part of the SH render where a 3x5 "squares" rectangle fits within that render's gridfin. You can look at the image neopork did and find a 3x5 section.

The factory making giant rockets isn't good enough? It was only moving "inside" the factory, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like the landing burn started, you could see it in the clouds. I wonder if the engine aborted or if it exploded in flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
