Minmus Taster Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Clearly this isn't just a "harmonic issue". Block 2 has quality control problems of some kind. And the Booster performance is getting worse on return too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgently Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I wonder, given it was at the end of the burn, it is unclear if the engines that shut off did so too soon, or did the lit vacuums not shutdown? May be a valves not closing issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though this only applies when aero forces are high typically. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Booster performance is getting worse on return too! three landings and the tower is still in one piece. i think thats good. we can gut the booster and see what went wrong later. this new ship design on the other hand still needs work.

Clearly he needs to do it with a random failure mod installed. Shame, a lot of the posed video's have politcal slants to them, it's even harder to avoid posting when you agree with what they're saying : / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
