BO is an first test flight who usually fly with just an dummy payload, instead they fly with an tiny internal one, gives more fuel for landing fist stage.

darthgently Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 1 hour ago, Minmus Taster said: Launch is set for January 5th I’m getting a bit giddy about this, tbh. They’ve built the tension 8 years and have set the bar at nailing the first landing attempt. Whichever way it goes it’s going to completely blow up the internet. I really hope it nails the landing as it would turn up the heat on all players and everyone wins. If it fails it will be depressing. But what could the real odds be that it actually does this first try? If I were Musk, and I’m neither Musk nor Dittman, I’d seriously consider a back room knowledge transfer to better guarantee success as the alternative would just be a millstone around SpaceX’s neck from a PR pov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an big deal if they have more first stages in the pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
