Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

@JoJoFromJerz Unfortunately, this may not pass Constitutional muster. It would probably violate Article 1, Section 9 that specifies that no "bill of attainder" can be enacted, which is a penalty levied against a specific person or group without judicial process.

@AshleyAlready Imagine how I sometimes feel about being married to a psychotherapist.

@DJSnM @DrPhiltill Happy to say I once had a one-to-one meeting with Ian Anderson. He’s a very gracious gentleman.

@tominwindsor Unfortunately, if it’s algebra it’s going to go right over my oversized head.

@DJSnM I heard there was one at the Lunar Gateway Disco, but it was cancelled.

@AshleyAlready Trollop. Harlot. Succubus.

That’s as far as I’m willing to dive into the septic tank with this one (God forgive me).

@AshleyAlready Does that include a Corruption metric?

@WilliamShatner You ascended above the von Karman line. You are an astronaut. Case closed.

@AshleyAlready Well… not the ones who value empathy sufficiently to *be* real men.

[Carl Alessi @CarlAlessi]

@sciencegirl Wow…that’s sublime. 🤓

@JLP_2022 I feel about math the same way a cat feels about a vacuum cleaner.

I know it’s important. I know it has to be done. Just don’t ask me to stay in the room while you’re doing it.

@AshleyAlready Are there any that are applicable to older men, like an emoji of an enlarged prostate?

@AshleyAlready @pie_how Personally I’m extremely sad that there aren’t more professed “Christians” who aren’t more like the Christ they claim to worship, rather than the Trump they do.

I’ve also lost patience with the “both sides are the same” laziness cloaked under the phony veneer of cynicism.

[Carl Alessi @CarlAlessi]

@AshleyAlready Some of us respect ourselves enough that we can avoid drawing such a low conclusion about other people.
