I still donโt get how some people in spitter can call themselves allies while at the same time supporting one of the largest transphobes on this platform, who considers his daughter dead
@Blobifie Wow, that seems like quite the infrastructure change, all within the year!?
I was thinking this, then I thought about how Blue themselves would define vertical operations, and if thereโs any looseness to it with their idea of the definition if yk what I mean
Some LC-36 updates. Now that weโve 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 โNever Tell Me The Oddsโ and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.
Iโve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we wonโt do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and weโre 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 weโll now go directly to that; so we donโt need a new transporter-erector.
We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
