@StoryonyxTBN @tedcruz To keep NYC from running the nation. Good thing!

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@StefanikEl83115 Certainly

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@PebMet1 @stratospunky They keep going for more thrust and lower weight and in doing so they break stuff that wasn’t broken.

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@stratospunky Likely, the long static fire damaged a supply line to the 4 closely grouped engines. A weld crack, a wiring harness. that failure cut off power or fuel from 4 and physically damaged 2.
So it was the static fire that caused the abort.

@shanaka86 Who the eff are you?

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@TomFitton @MarkWarner Warner is pos💩

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@TWSsocials The Raptors, Versions 1,2, and 3 have all had re-light issues. That’s a lot of data and the bugs are still present.

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@elonmusk @SpaceX 4 raptors, all on the same side of the inner ring. Coincidence? I’m invested in this company, but each “new versions” are a re-start of flight testing.

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@TomFitton You will see those names on mail in ballots

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@ralfrpatterson @CSI_Starbase Is it a coincidence that all 4 of the failures were on the inner ring?

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@IngrahamAngle No kidding

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@ralfrpatterson @CSI_Starbase Yes. At that second I was looking at the visual spectacle of the deluge system and missed this. Critical failures. They’re lucky there weren’t worse consequences.

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@Warghazm @CSI_Starbase The whole rig is likely going back to the hanger. 4 engines failing to light is a serious failure.

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@MofoG75 @CSI_Starbase I had same thought

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@RocCityBuilt @CSI_Starbase Wish I could disagree

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@CSI_Starbase @KirkvdHeydt Sigh. You’re probably right, that was a big failure, exactly what cannot be occurring.

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@KirkvdHeydt @CSI_Starbase They had just done a long and successful static fire. WTF?

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@CSI_Starbase Raptor reliability still evades mission goals

[Paul Wilson @Arrowspace90]

@greywells @SpaceX Duh, they have to make sure they have stable vehicles that won’t destroy the launch tower and catch arms.
