RealKerbal3x Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 While we're all distracted by SN4 getting ready to test, it seems that SN5 nosecone integration is imminent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tweeted 8h ago at the end of Saturday's test window. Sunday's test window is still on. Can be a bit confusing for those of us who are ahead of US time I guess! My repost was probably a little tardy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Spoiler Looking at these steel bands rolled in rings, stacked and welded together, I can believe if they are found by the side of the road. Each of another width or facing another side. Though, maybe they are from the Tesla scrapyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Looking at the LabPadre stream, it seems like there's a storm over at Boca Chica. I can see occasional lightning flashes. I hope everyone (and SN4) is safe. I doubt it will cause any harm or damage, but SN4 is essentially a giant steel lightning rod Edit: It seems like the storm began to calm down just as I posted this. Also, this is what happens to me when we have a lack of immediate news - I start posting about how it's raining in Boca Chica Edited May 16, 2020 by RealKerbal3x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Atlas V scrubbed, so F9 launch pushed out as well I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCgothic Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 High chance of Starlink scrub on Monday. F9 can't land in a tropical storm and SpaceX fleet are seeking cover. SpaceX aren't going to intentionally dispose of their flight leader whilst rigged with landing legs and grid fins for an internal mission nobody's paying them for.

RCgothic Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Static fire may eventually happen today! I've been waiting all week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If the static fire does happen today, then the 150m hop will hopefully happen within a few days Speaking of static fires, I wonder if this one will be another 2 or 3 second burn, or a longer-duration static fire.

I don't think the pad can endure a longer burn. They'll need to build something studier for testing superheavy!

I feel like they're going to have to build a LC-39 sized concrete pad with a gargantuan flame trench sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
