@WLofMV@Antons_profile@MarioNawfal Not pristine. Being bombarded by solar radiation for a decade without any protection is sure to have had an impact on it.
@Truthful_ast What are the Vegas odds on…
Successful launch?
Successful staging?
Successful orbital insertion?
Successful payload deployment?
Successful return and landing of booster?
@wayno34544@surmoulage @dirtypure2 @Zeksie@Truthful_ast Flight 1 didn’t use hot staging. IIRC the booster was going to fling the ship away as it flipped for the boost back.
@Rakietomania@tibininin@AshleyKillip@RGVaerialphotos Just direct the boil off gas from the booster to the corners of the launch mount. Turn off the two corners opposite the tower just as the engines light and the platform tilt automatically assists in tower avoidance maneuver. So many problems solved.
@CyberWiz_YT@BCCarCounters@FAANews@NASASpaceflight Time between launches may be completely dependent on possible repairs to tower/infrastructure following the first catch attempt. Hopefully it goes well tomorrow!
