Well, OK, you actually can do this. But that doesn't make it correct. I remain highly skeptical as to such validity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reports of decreasing bird nests could use third party confirmation, but I don't think the US Fish and Wildlife Service would fabricate problems.

Beccab Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Lots of possibilities for this road closure, the most likely of which is GSE and/or Shell transport. There's also a chance this is for B4, although we don't know the real status of the number of raptors currently mounteed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccab Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We now know for sure that S21 will have at least one barrel made of 3.6 mm steel. I personally expected them to start making it thinner from S25 and beyond, but the less weight the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccab Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Quick Disconnect arm is in the air! Hopefully soon it will reach apogee and start the landing burn to hover all the way to the actuators on the tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccab Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Given its size, it's speculated this is only the first half of the whole arm, although we have no confirms on that front Edited August 29, 2021 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
