RealKerbal3x Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Boca Chica Starship has had its final ring and tank dome fitted. It looks like they were welded together on the ground before installation, rather than hoisted up and then attached as was done for the other two domes. All that remains now is fitting the nose cone, landing gear, and fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take the drag hit and strap on a few more engines, land the thing on the engine bell, and replace the fins with some nice gravity-defying reaction wheels.

That's important since he's said the design of the fins/legs *has* changed again. BUT... there are at least 5 if these mounts in the picture... maybe the 2 canards in the front use the same mounts?

Raven Industries Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It takes a village to build a rocket.. I guess? That's the best I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 According to Zillow, the market value around there varies between ~72k, and 127k, most closer to the lower number. Realtor.com has some in the 50s. 3X market value is obviously a decent enough deal, but certainly not a lot of money in many cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also also also it looks like I might be wrong and the 2 tweets were actually talking about different objects, confirming the landing legs ARE separate and not vice versa. So, oops. 5 hours ago, CatastrophicFailure said: This would be really impressive, as Starship still has a split personality and not a leg to stand on, and they're rapidly running out of month... Also WOAH does that mean they expect to get the top bulkhead installed and the two halves put together in a WEEK?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
