>>16422321The whole reason blorp exists besides EDS is building an architecture for high cislunar space. If their hydrologgs depots and reusable moon lander work that will actually be a good start. Big spinhabs rely on regolith and lunar/NEA ice.

I waited a day too long and all the hotel rooms were sold out, but surprisingly enough a number of tent sites are open in Isla Blanca. I have no idea where in the park these tent sites are and I was hoping to not sleep in my car this time, but that's life.

>>16422321Bezos is working closely with sierra space to launch inflatables. That's as big as it gets for the near future. Once the 19 meter sierra space habitat is tested, that will be a spacecraft with the BARE MINIMUM diameter for a rotational space station. Two counter rotating 19 meter habitats for rotational stability?

"Which means our adversaries don’t know—and that happens on the far side of the Earth from our adversaries—where it’s going to come up next. And we know that that drives them nuts. And I’m really glad about that."So the X-37B has perigee *inside* the atmosphere and uses its aero surfaces to change inclination? And it's maintaining this family of orbits for months? That's fucking cool. Total validation of baby-shuttle.
>>16422424There will be no consequences either, is federal landIf they want to get all states rights on this I would laugh my ass off
>>16422442Vandy is a Space Force Base. Why the FUCK does a state government get to tell the military what roggets can launch from their own base? If California pushes this they're going to permanently decrease states' rights when they get slapped down.

>>16422444Because congress are a bunch of naive cucks who pass laws saying the military has to work with these people instead of just doing what it needs to.
>>16422410>their labor record is bad because I think it isNot germane.>his political posts are problematic because I don't share his opinionsEven less germane. Elon is not SpaceX nor is he the sole owner. They really fucked up here by mentioning his politics instead of keeping about enviromental concerns.

>>16422444Funny enough, something sorta kinda like this happened before and Congress ended up expanding states' rights in the CZARA because of it.
>>16422530I finally made it up to 17 before giving up. The booster is too fuel heavy on that one and you can barely slow down enough, then you have to hover in with super low TWR so you can barely lean to steer.

>>16422436On its face this claim is false if anyone has any reason to go to Mars. If Elon pays someone to go to Mars, that person has a reason to go to Mars. The first people to go to Mars will be famous. That is a reason to go to Mars.Presumably you mean that going to Mars accomplishes nothing. But building a new civilization on Mars is itself an accomplishment.Perhaps you mean that there will be no practical consequences to the existence of a human presence on Mars. This is doubtful enough that there's no reason to believe your bald assertion.Maybe instead you mean that there are better alternatives to going to Mars, but in that case you should explain what they are and why they're better.In summary, your post was low effort bait. 0/10, would not reply again.

>Annual Certification. SpaceX must submit an annual certification,under penalty of perjury, signed by a responsible official, attesting toSpaceX’s compliance with all applicable environmental laws,regulations, permits, or other authorizations related to FAA-licensedactivities at Boca Chica, Texas.”ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??
>>16423072just put the baby/mother into a spinning tube
>>16423075sneed about itfeds won
>>16423075sounds like boilerplate to me
Added paragraph 10, “Environmental Requirements:”11. Added paragraph 10(a), “SpaceX must conduct its licensed activities inaccordance with the representations made in its license applicationand must comply with all applicable Federal, Tribal, State, and localenvironmental laws, regulations, and standards in carrying out itslicense activities. SpaceX has a continuing duty to obtain and maintaincurrent all applicable environmental permits, licenses, authorizations,and approvals for activities under this license.”12. Added paragraph 10(b), “SpaceX must continue to comply with orcarry out, as appropriate, the conditions, limitations, mitigationmeasures, and monitoring plans set forth in any and all documentsprepared by the FAA pursuant to the National Environmental PolicyAct, appended to this license, and relied upon to reach adetermination that the proposed licensed activities are consistent withapplicable environmental requirements and will not significantly affectthe quality of the human environment.
>>16423075That could be the escape they used to get the license faster. It's much better for them if they just do this scheduled yearly faggotry instead of having FAA individually contact every retarded agency to get their opinion on compliance. This is much better for SpaceX assuming FAA will no longer fuck with this aspect.
>>16423075NSF is saying this is better since they don't have to do it for each launch
Why are doomcucks so low IQ?
>>16423081>>16423082ohh okay, I would've preferred they be exempt from all environmental fuckery but good enough
>>16423075so this means an annual license instead of one for each launch? Sounds like a win to me

Tomorrow sounds like a great day for fishing
>>16423094What kinds of fish are around Boca Chica anyway?
>>16423090There's no way the FAA intended to give SpaceX carte blanche to launch as many times as they wish within a given time period, those bureaucratic cunts would never grant that kind of leeway.
>>16423094>tomorrow sounds *ack*
>>16423072>still no solution to the problem that exists inside of my head and nowhere else.

>>16423122Make up hypothetical scenarios to preemptively seethe and doompost about
I read somewhere that Elon used part of the NC Starlink hooplah to get Secretary Pete on the horn so he could bring to his attention the absolute level of FAA regulatory nonsense. Pete also mentioned during a CNN interview that there was a "coordination issue with the FAA that has now been resolved." Though he didn't relate it to the NC events and made it as a passerby comment. I wouldn't be surprised if Elon didn't point out that China announced a spacesuit to be used on the moon, with all NASA contracts currently imploding to deliver the same, and that they intend to land the first woman on the moon before US does--and holding back Starship with regulatory jockeying is going to lead to the country being humiliated on the world stage under a potential future admin (independent of who wins)--if this nonsense continues any longer.And there's no greater incentive for a politician to put his foot down to get something done, than the probability that he/she will be publicly declared incompetence and humiliated because leadership within his administration created conditions where a rival state won a race involving national prestige.

>>16422323The track looks too good to be amateurs, there's also Artemis I footage on the youtube channel. It could be FOIA request, and the footage could be from one of the NASA tracking aircraft. I think they're usually in the area when SpaceX does testing, but I don't remember exactly.

Super Heavy will bellyflop onto Starbase
>>16423144They overloaded the arms with water balls quite a lot, it probably shouldn't shear off. I'd sooner bet on just flat out crashing into the tower due to minor control issues.

>>16423145Hopefully into the YouTube camera cars again
Super Heavy will land.. on land
>they didn't go with my trampoline catch idea
>>16423146It’s gonna be something stupid like missing the pins and Elon be like maybe we should have had landing points all around the booster

>>16423167you are diluted

>>16423181two weeks
Should've went with the fork idea
>>16423186let's look at the video again. It definitely fucked up the landing. Even it it was exactly where it was supposed to land(something we can't actually verify)
>>16423170that's true, i'm a slime girl.because of all the rain due to milton recently, my body has become a bit diluted.that's why i need more cum to become undiluted.will you give me your cum, anon?

Ain't that a shameMy tears fell like rain
>>16423189trust me faggot if you ever saw me you'd be keeping your head low hoping I don't notice you

hit a nerve you absolutely delusional schizophrenic?
>>16423199*water hammers
>>16423206Differential GPS can be very accurate close to the reference station. I assume that's what their drone boat was providing.
>>16423106Flight 6 uses a slightly different starship design so it will need a new loisence
>>16423212
>>16423082Gaslighting faggots can't be trusted
>>16423206who said it is solely using GPS?
>>16423216the changes are small enough that they approved both 5 and 6 at the same timeas long as ship 6 isn't modified further they should be good to go
>>16423207Yeah, they're basically named with the intent of becoming a consortium of megacorps in the future. Transport is one part of the business, communications is another, colonization will be the third. Mining and manufacturing will inevitably be the fourth, and then research & development for energy, material science, manufacturing, biotechnology, agriculture, sustainability, and what not will probably be the fifth. Each subcorp will be designed to scale into the multi hundred billion cap range easily with Starlink on Earth, Moon, and Mars, generating the revenue necessary to fuel the rest until they're self-sufficient.Fun fact, Elon only wants to colonize the solar system; Gwynne wants to colonize Alpha/Proxima Centauri.
>>16423209you need to take a deep breath and watch the superheavy landing video.
>>16422886I can admit you are a failure
>>16423206in addition to nearby marine assets, there's also starlink onboard which can be used to locate itself
>>16423225the one where the camera onboard that buoy is perfectly lined up to film it before it even enters through the clouds, that one?
>>16423226https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u24C9XnXzzo
>>16423223There is no reason for YOU to go to Mars. You will always be an Earther
>>16423229Yeah the one the the camera on the buoy is in the perfect position to film the landing but we switch to the onboard camera last second.

Flight 5,
>>16423252why don't you reply to me with actual proof it did a proper landing you little bitch? All we see is superheavy coming down rocking side to side and when it's supposed to make the landing it switches to the onboard camera where you can't see shit. Assuming it fucked up the landing is very reasonable. Much more reasonable than assuming it nailed the landing and SpaceX refusing to release the footage even though they surely have lots of footage.
complete FAA buckbreakingthey even threw in IFT-6 license
>>16423262it is not in fact reasonable because we have commentary saying it went nearly perfectly
>gaming night before the launchKind of sad, he should find a wife.
>>16422298If they launch tomorrow at time, the lightning conditions at catch attempt will be more or less like in this picture.
motherfuckerrr
>>16423276what
I'm going to fuck all you guys right in the ass because I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night to watch this launch, which guarantees that it will be scrubbed.

>>16423262Why don't you go fuck yourself, faggot?

>>16423224>Mining memeloving every laugh
>>16423296Can't wait for tomorrow attempt to show how absolutely stupid booster catch is compared to even simply landing close by the tower and for SpaceX to abandon this shit

>>16423308-WASTED-
>>16423309It's just right over there, begging for people to visit it.
>We got too cocky catchbros!
>>16423296Why did he post a video about how the catch will probably succeed a couple days before they test it? I don't see the point from his perspective.
>>16423116They said the same about Flight 5 after 4

>>16423304I somewhat agree. how do you think the landing will fail tomorrow?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGg17h to go

At this point the IFT-6 objectives should be another catch + successful re-entry with the inflight demos from IFT-3 with IFT-7 being the ship to ship transfer demo That should happen latest by July 25' for an uncrewed HLS demo by the end of that year.Mind you that's assuming all of the other Artemis milestones are on track and are not pushed back a year, either way cadence should step up once the factory gets fully outfitted and the second OLM is finished.
>>16423374Yeah I noticed they usually time the Starship flights so we in Europe have it easy.

>>16423573>>16423567I'm such an oldfag nowadays. Got into SpaceX after reading about the F9R exploding, watched the 'SpaceX factory tour' by Elon (one of the first videos on their youtube channel) and knew he was the real deal. The livestreams of booster landing attempts was utter kino unsurpassed. They had live chat on the youtube stream in those days until flerfers fucked it up for everybody.

>>16423625I think I also recall having watched Mk1 blowing up live on labpadre, chat went crazy.
I'm coming around to domes if I'm being honest. Maybe not as an immediate habit but once you can produce iron and glass (very low on the tech tree), why not? So long as they are built very large so that you have mass on the floors above where people are the majority of the time, it seems fine to me. You can have things like life support equipment, vertical farms, automated factories, water tanks, septic tanks, short lived livestock, shrimp/fish farms, algae tanks, chemical tanks, etc etc etc between you and the radiation, plus a decent amount of atmosphere. 38g really, really helps building big things. I really think domes would be my second choice after utilising a really nice, stable geographic location like covering a narrow arcade canyon or drilling into a big lava tube. If you need an intermediate step from prefab units to giant domes, I think cut and cover big ass spiral welded pipes, like 15-20m diameter. They will be very strong with a decent size wall thickness and 1atm pressure, could stack loads of regolith on top. I want to love the idea of a giant fuck off tbm boring 50m wide habitats into granite but I just think tbm is way too power intensive and slow and there are just too many problems with it for it to ever beat just building cubic metres.

>>16423304Even if it's not worth it just to avoid transporting the rocket a short distance to the lift arms, rocket legs are heavy. You'd be flying them up and down for both the booster and the ship every time you fly.
>>16423778the sea should be a non factor, if starship gets to a cadence of once a week then theres gonna have to be the risk of someone getting landed on
>>16423679Because F9 was grounded, that meant additional Direct to Cell satellites couldn't be launched EITHER to allow for load balancing and ground coverage of areas affected by Helene and Milton. So not only was the grounding of F9 by the FAA impacting Starshield (for DoD), but D2C for Disaster Relief, and then HLS on top of that. All the other providers have completely shit the bed and the FAA playing politic is having a material impact on national security. Be it Secretary Pete, DoD, or all of the above; the FAA admin and upper echelon probably all got pulled into a call and told to stop fucking around. They tried to puff their chest and got knocked on their ass from this notice it seems.
>>16423681Called it. Musk probably brought the receipts to Pete on that call during the whole Helene thing and got him to exercise his authority as Sec of Transport to stop impacting aerospace of interests of US as a whole over bullshit hold backs and fines over paperwork differences.

>>16423773>try to cancel one of the greatest female success stories in the industryI dare them to try, she's universally loved.
Do u think someone/s at the FAA got a tap on the shoulder from a trump glowie that basically amounted to "if trump is in, Elons department is going to rape you live on air, approve the permit now, and the next one too while you are at it please, now"
>>16423786>>16423784I didn't expect the fag who took maternity leave to end up being the useful flame under the FAA's ass, but you know what I'll take it. Good on him.
>>16423789You need unreasonable quantities of fission+fusion fuel for a single ship. Maybe could do it if you had pure fusion. But not fissiles.
12 hours!
>>16423792No, that's retarded. They definitely got a stern admonishment by present secretary of transport though. Pointlessly delaying SpaceX with Starship means HLS in turn is delayed, and it would be utterly humiliating if China not only landed on the moon, but also did so with the first woman. The extreme left in the US hate asians in general now, and consider them to be white and white privilege what not. China landing a woman on the Moon first, in being "white", would cause them to have a visceral reaction as bad as the extreme right on the GOP side does on the occasion--and the Dems are just as afraid of their party extremes as the Repubs are of theirs, to the degree that they'll kowtow towards any policy to keep them at bay. Letting China win would really send them off the deep end.

>>16423808It's not that difficult, when it's night, you can see the stars.
>>16423808The Polaris Dawn spacewalk showed space to be all black, but some anons said that's just the effect of the camera since it takes some exposure for stars to be visible.
>>16423808I don't know shit about shit but probably as long as you aren't facing the sun or a sunlit earth
>>16423797insprucker is the best looking out of all of them..
>>16423810polaris dawn cams were potatoes though
>>16423810Because the cameras were pointing at the floodlights used to let you see the astronauts.
>>16423810>>16423813>>16423814facing towards the earth probably didn't help eitheri bet stars would all be very visible on the dark side of the moon
>>16423808I imagine being on the day side of earth and staring at the planet would restrict (whatever the opposite of dilate) your eyes a bit, but if you’re looking out the window, if you’re on the night side of a planet, or if you’re in a ballistic transit between say earth and mars, it would be exactly like staring up in the sky in the country with zero light pollution—maybe even slightly better with dozens of more tiny tiny tiny points of lights you can JUUUUUST barely resolve because there is no atmosphereIf you haven’t been to a “middle of nowhere” place I highly recommend it. I used to go deer hunting with my dad in the middle of nowhere, West Texas as a kid. The density of stars you could see at night blew me away. It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Every square inch of sky had more and more dots of light the more you focused on it
great, we need to watch for NOTAMs from a dozen countries now
>>16423816As long as there are no lights on the craft turned on. Light pollution works even in space.
>>16423808Duh anon. If you went to some part of the Earth with little to no light pollution, you can see the entire milkyway band across the sky. The same would be true in space as long as you were occluded in a way that the sun's light wouldn't pollute your line of sight and you weren't also being poisoned by the light reflecting off Earth's surface. So in the night side, you'd guarantee to see some really cool stuff.
night crew
>>16423823sometimes i wonder how this stiff ispossible at all. if the world was like haiti we could have current tech but this would simply be impossible since people would steal valuables from the launch site and put bullet holes in the vehicle.
>>16423827what's stopping a save rgv schizo from buying a rifle and popping a few rounds toward the full stack from a distance?eco-terrorism is a thing
>>16423681Kek what a timeline
>>16423828Nothing. Except maybe for a fact that America is a civilized society (at scale) and takes pride in its aerospace program rather than treating it like something to destroy and rob.
>>16423681Secretary of Transport has second ultimate authority on what goes and doesn't go in the US, the only other person that can overrule him is the president. Technically, the courts can also overrule either, but it would have to be constitutionally challenged that the act taken by either was unconstitutional in the first place, and bypassing some regulatory or environmental review structure that was unnecessary or causing delays unnecessarily, is not something that is unconstitutional if overruled by the SoT or POTUS. There's no real case here, this moron is just butt blasted.
>>16423828A guardian angle would simply deflect the bullets
>>16423828im surprised no crazies have done it desu. the best protection for starship is that normies dont know anything about it. When normies knew about shuttle for a few months they would do retarded shit to obstruct for no reason like gluing themselves to the fence. Nowadays they would be setting themselves on fire in front of the launch complex over piping plovers. getting charged with felonies luckily prevents non crazies from attacking starship, but in an extremely corrupt place likethe entire 3rd world that wouldnt work so good.

>>16423847except japan absolutely hate ev. they will ride the hydrogen fuel car even after it runs off the cliff, crashes into the ground and burns up around them.
>>16423847Nearly everyone carries in Texas, and I think its also a stand your ground law state. Which means that most people in a condition where they have to defend themselves with a firearm, also means the state will generally err in their favor--especially when dealing with ITAR regulated technology.
>>16423137Same, is that even possible? I got stuck there, reset my progress since the game was fun and got back there fairly quick, but can not get past that level
>>16423857Japan doesn't hate EVs per se, all their fiction has EV tech out the ass. They just want go all in on EVs yet, because 80% of the world battery production and refinement is centralized in China courtesy of the world exporting all that shit over in favor of centralizing capital inshore instead. This has led to an asymmetry, where China would have Japan's balls by a vice grip to ramp their electrification economy in a way that would cause major headaches for their long term sovereign stability. That's why they're going all in on Hydrogen tech. It's more costly, but China can't cuck them in their sleep with it like it can with LiON tech.
>>16423630>why not? cumulatively several miles of seals
>>16423860Most of its in china because China is the largest economy on the planet
>>16423808If you have the daylight earth under you it'll force your eyes to adjust to the daytime so you won't see shit. If it's the night side you'll see the stars just like night on earth, even brighter in fact.If the sun is shining on anything that you can see, even part of the ship, you won't be able to see stars.
>>16423863>If the sun is shining on anything that you can see, even part of the ship, you won't be able to see stars.They definitely used HDR to get that shot for eg
>>16423862That doesn't change what I said about Japan/China relationship and EV/LiON tech.

After all, I'll have all the time to be alone later on when this energy drains, so why not stepping out of what I usually do (comfort zone?) just for the sake of it.

>>16423911that's very Islamophobic
>>16423902Just stop thinking about things. This is a serious recommendation, it won't help if you're in the middle of doing something, and it can still end up being exhausting having to socialize, but it will help stop the negative, annoying aspect of it.

>>16423940My mother tells me that even when I was little, before anything I can remember, I'd often just suddenly get lost in thought while I was doing something, and then when I was a bit older I'd be trying to have all sorts of ----deep---- conversations, whatever that means in the context of like an 8-year-old. I think that's just my core personality. All my life I've felt like my head is like this Eyewitness intro lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR0vRuZkxdw
>>16423902>they'll just randomly show up to talk to me about something and I just get kind of annoyed because it interrupts whatever I'm doing or thinking aboutOh my fucking god. Everyday at work. It's like I'm in hell. It does not help that I'm the head of my department and everyone has to come to me to solve the most simple tasks.My savings/investments can't grow fast enough. I want to leave the city so fucking bad.

>>16423954What would it take to make domes work? How thick would the glass have to be?
>>16423954i hope all dometards get dome'di'm not going to mars is musk is falling for the dome meme
let's get the largest spike tomorrow lads. I expect five gorrilion posts when SH gets caught
>>16423965Have a hollow dome with water between the inner and outer layer, about one meter thick. I'd imagine most facilities and spaces would still be underground either way, but maybe that water dome would mitigate enough radiation that it's not a massive health issue hanging out on the surface
>>16423911Maybe they just made bacon
>>16423887I dare you to drink it fresh off the ground
>>16423457crew 8 splash down as well tomorrow.

If we hurry up, we can send this thread to page 10 so the next thread can hit the post limit faster, and we can stay off the first page by the time the launch happens.
>>16423954>starship landing pads have blast barrierslooks like they copied that lunar base concept's homework
>>16423998This thread is past bump limit already, the only way it will get to page 10 faster is if more threads are created or if the threads below it are bumped up.
>>16423965They would have to be mounted on the frames in a way that makes the seals stronger when it’s pressurized. The most vulnerable part is the foundation which has to be solidly screwed into bedrock and the base buried under tons of regolith brick, because the air pressure wants to rip the whole dome off its foundationsYou can make a dome window just as thick as bulletproof helicopter cockpit glass if you make it out of aluminum oxynitridehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride

>>16424001Seems like it would just make sense, don't want a rocket engine to yeet sand and tiny rocks into your dome in a low gravity, low drag environment. We saw how the launch went without the trench and that was on Earth
>5am launchnot again....

>>16423786>>16423795Pete is literally ex-CIA/DoD. Look up what he did while he was in the military and then after it before entering into politics. He was groomed by three-letter-agencies to enter politics after messing around in the financial sector like a ton of other people who run for office are.
>>16424038They will hold until I wake up at around 4pm>>16423966It's ok you can spend 30 seconds in the dome every day and barely hit your max radiation dose before going back to the mines.
>>16424035Forgot your frog
>>16424034Same, this thing had better fucking launch.
>>16424057Mmm maybe if he was based I’d believe it but he’s extremely lame and boring so… although perhaps you are right and we just unfortunately live in an age where the classic “cool” three letter spook agencies like CIA, FBI, NSA, etc are pozzed and boeing and not cool like they were in the circa 1980s.>this is off topic!!!!!!NASA was cool in the 70s now it’s shitty

>>16423713the sun sets behind mountains for mefug
>>16424081Cant combust methane without oxygen. Where do you get that oxygen? Electrolysis of water from Enceladus. Not only that, but electrolysis of water from Enceladus also provides hydrogen for the useless rockets that somehow make it out there. Cant use Titan without Enceladus, also Titan is 100% guaranteed lifeless but Enceladus has tiniest chance of not so.
Cant sleep anymore fuck
>>16424091>Titan is 100% guaranteed lifelessSource? Even if life can't exist in its methane seas, Titan itself is still hypothesized to have an underground water ocean which could support life as well.

>>16424034Imagine being an adult and having this image on your computer.
>>16424103Imagine being on an anime imageboard and complaining about anime images.
>>16424039Before the internet was culturely taken over by jews expressing your love of bacon and showing off how much you love it was common.Had some friends cook maybe 20lbs of bacon in the oven one time for the meme then one of them had the bright idea of pouring the grease down the drain. It ended up costing them a few hundred dollars in repairs kek
>>16424103>>16424106Imagine being unable to directly criticize something and instead whining about imagination
>>16424103Imagine not having a virtual anthropomorphized rocket daughterwife
>>16424106That would be like living on earth and complaining about earthers.
>>16424112The difference is that one cannot easily escape earthers (at this current moment), but one can easily gb2 reddit if they hate anime girls.
>>16424112Imagine leaving Mars for Earth then complaining about earthers.
>>16424111I'd prefer a mother wife myself
>>16424103I've got way cuter images on mineദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )
Make the stage inconspicuous and boring to misdirect the touristsnot Starship related, not Musk relatedsomething very generic and technical (but not interesting to non-enthusiasts) would be bestI think this could help somewhat

>>16424134Lmao make it about New Sheppard
>>16423851no I'm saying people will fuck them up because they are crabs
>>16424103You are a newfag who wasnt here for when Clearthads got /sfg/ secret info only the nips had for the date of an IFT (either 3 or 4 cant remember)
>>16424121The launchthreads exist for a reason retard
>>16423606Starship v2 will be W I D E R to accomodate ITS legs.
>>16424146that isn't enough
>>16424139Try again each night!
>>16424146Yeah, which is why this next stage can not be about IFT-5 to keep as many of the horde in the launch thread as possible.

Is it time to start the goon sesh?
>>16424157novel glider concept that can use a conventional engine to lower its periapsis into the atmosphere, take a sample, then fly back out again using wings for additional lift. Venus sucks as a destination unless you're doing a robust lander
I sleep until time to wake up to drive to SPI
>>16424159yes
There is a heavy and new glenn launching too today right?
>>16422298wheres tha new thread
So assuming the catch goes near perfectly and no mishap investigation happens (nothing outside these three >>16423111 specific events happens) and SpaceX decides to launch IFT-6 as soon as possible (so no big modifications >>16423106)How early could IFT-6 launch?someone >>16423359 in the thread said Booster 13 hasn't been static fired yet, personally I don't remember how much or little S33/B13 have been tested but I remember them having a bunch of shit done already, like the ship being static fired
>>16424167december
>>16424167Probably end of november / early december
>>16424167There's always a mishap investigation after tests
>>16424162see you tomorrow anon
>>16424167*Ship 31also the ring watchers tracking thing is very out of date (from July 29 )I guess they are waiting for IFT-5 to happen to update ithttps://x.com/Ringwatchers/status/1818017355282399387

Honest question; do you think Jeff will watch the test flight live, a full replay, highlights or at all? I think the answer would be a solid litmus test to gauge how passionate about spaceflight the man actually is.
>>16424206yes
>>16424206no
>>16424192I don't like Bootybitch either, but this guys retarded.
>>16424206>>16424208and if you asked him about it he would probably say this is amazing etc (but actually seething underneath lmao)

>>1642420650/50
let us recollect the previous launch thread:https://warosu.org/sci/thread/16213518oh man that was a wild time.I expect tomorrow's will be wilder.Assembling the launch thread OP text right now... should be up in about 3.5 bongs.

>>16424226fuck off nigger, page 9, and specifically mentioning the thing agreed not to mention to avoid crossposting from the launch thread itself
>>16424230>>16424229We'll just use that version as a decoy to attract normies tomorrow
>>16423057I'm usually an optimist, but this time I can just feel that it's going to abort.

the launch thread is for all of us! Don't be mean. It's a staple of /sci/. Post in both.

>>16424249The auguries are good.
>>16424253Will there be unforeseen consequences with this launch?
>>16424253The Administrator is very concerned that we get a conclusive analysis of today's launch. I gather they went to some lengths to get the license.
>>16424255Mass anomaly of 3.5 kgProbably not a problem

really awesome thread guys, good job
stage at page 10 and make a boring OP for actual discussion, the other thread seems to have attracted tourists and first pagers already like flies to shitbut if its "boring" and not connected to Starship in any way for instance, it won't attract the clueless tourists (which might be genuinely interested and good faith) nor the EDS sufferers
