@aguado_mate @Truthful_ast @EddGorenstein The RL10s don’t get Shuttle all the way to orbit, though. It uses the OMS to circularize, which is a completely separate propulsion system that even burns a different fuel type. If Buran counts as a stage and not just a spacecraft, so does shuttle…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@aguado_mate @Truthful_ast @EddGorenstein So did shuttle, then. Either way Buran wouldn’t be the first.

@block3flaps Probably with chopsticks

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@Truthful_ast @EddGorenstein You should edit its Wikipedia page, then.

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@Truthful_ast @ScottLikedSLS Yeah, and the Su-57 is 5th-gen if you go by the Russian definition of fighters… Oh and ICBMs count as hypersonic as well… Russia’s definitions are kinda stupid.

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@Truthful_ast I count it and shuttle as spacecraft, not second stages. Dragon has a propulsion system, but isn’t a 3rd stage to Falcon 9…

@CobshipStarSon Unless 42 gets caught before then…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@the_4eJloBek We’re slowly getting closer to π Raptor 3…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@NASASpaceflight Only…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@airmainengineer I’m going to be honest, I completely missed NPA going out of business… Too bad these 757s never got their second chance…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@LunarCitizens It’s not centered 💀

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@Mookafish Holy cow, V3 looks short and stubby in this…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@Erdayastronaut I mean, in a couple of weeks we should be getting the first Starship Starlink mission. At this point, the V2(mini) constellation is complete, so there’s less of a need for Falcon to replace them. V3 can only fly on Starship.

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@stratospunky So like, is that where the catch points will be on it or will the towers be taller?

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@starship_block3 That’s exactly what someone from the future would say…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@NASASpaceflight It is time go.

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@LevLime That’s actually a 12 hour delay.

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@CSI_Starbase @RGVaerialphotos Guys, I don’t think the sharpie made it…

[Zeus @GrooviestZeus]

@stratospunky NSF having to report on 15 starship flights per day:

@NextModelRocket @starshipprojec My L1 cert flight! “Untitled Space Craft”
