@DJSnM Did you spot the brief drone footage of the flight six ship floating on the sea in the footage SpaceX released today? Would love to see more of that!!
@F1@LewisHamilton Hey @LewisHamilton , don’t know if there’s any space for filler music in the new F1 movie, but this tune would be perfect for some action on track. https://t.co/5Xum4wyBhf
@CSI_Starbase I’d expect the risk of damage to the tower from any RUD on the pad would be minimal (or at least far less) at the top of the tower compared to the bottom, therefore possibly allowing the top couple of sections to remain hollow if not required to be as robust as those at the base
@CSI_Starbase Brilliant article Zack! I originally thought it would make sense to fill the columns with concrete but haven’t seen anyone confirm it till now. That being said, could they possibly have left the top column sections of the tower hollow to allow for possible future extension?
@DJSnM …. We became involved after god knows how many years later when the roof of the garage caved in exposing the heavily corroded canisters to the rain. Needless to say when the fire service arrived and tried to put out the fire it didn’t exactly help!!!
@DJSnM I worked on a job a few years ago when a guy in the uk had salvaged thousands of canisters of sodium metal from a closing down foundry. He had stockpiled them in a garage of a house he owned and seemingly forgot about them…

@realDavidDuffy@interesting_aIl They rotate about a point that is somewhere between the earth’s centre and the surface. Therefore, centrifugal/centripetal forces ‘fling’ out the water on the opposite side of the earth to the moon, causing the opposing tide.
@realDavidDuffy@interesting_aIl Tyson is wrong to detail it as the sun pulling the other side. The high tide on the opposite side of the moon is caused because the earth and moon rotate around a point that is not exactly at the centre of the earth…
@donttrythis can you get in there to check these out before they sell?! Star Wars C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels is selling film memorabilia https://t.co/ipZPRLJhh3
@Erdayastronaut@elonmusk@SpaceX …had to be internally lined with something, but it would be an amazing sight to see once covered in rust, and somewhat foreshadowing in appearance to it’s intended destination! Could the rust layer bring any thermal advantages for re-entry?
@Erdayastronaut@Erdayastronaut I’d love for you to do a feasibility study on whether @elonmusk would be interested in, the properties would allow, and if @SpaceX could adapt to build a Starship and Superheavy out of Corten steel instead of stainless. I imagine using it would mean the tanks……
