Now that we know that Booster 10 experienced a RUD at T+00:06:59 and 462 meters above the ocean, I made a quick and dirty simulation and inserted all the available data and I think the results might be pretty interesting and tell us more about Super Heavy landing burns. (1/8)

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.

@NASASpaceflight So you can actually see the curvature of the density distribution in these videos!

[Daniel @SpaceDanielX]

@NASASpaceflight What you can see in these videos is better described By shadowgraphs. Schlieren imaging makes use of a lens setup and a Schlieren knife to visualize the first derivative of the density distribution. Shadowgraphs display the second derivative because of bent light overlapping.

Starship’s twelfth flight test will debut the next generation Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, powered by the next evolution of the Raptor engine and launching from a newly designed pad at Starbase. The launch is targeted as early as Tuesday, May 19 → https://t.co/2gZQUxS6mm

@CSI_Starbase So you’re saying the deluge system goes above 20 bar? Wow

[Daniel @SpaceDanielX]

@CSI_Starbase Not to mention things like climate change 🫠🫠🫠

Blue origin is the company that Elon fanboys think SpaceX is.

Melt. Extract. Breathe. Repeat. 🧑‍🚀

From Moon dust to fresh air, our Air Pioneer technology turns lunar regolith into breathable oxygen, ready for astronauts returning to the Moon. At our Space Resources Center of Excellence in LA, we developed a reactor (left) that melts regolith simulant and passes a current through it to release oxygen and other gases. The gases flow into the purification system (right) and emerge as medical- and propellant-grade oxygen. A flight-qualified Air Pioneer at this same scale could provide the first breath of life for a sustainable Moon base. 🌕

535 members of Congress are failing the country, and the entire world at the same time.

Hard to believe this is even possible.

@KezzieSquared The missile would be proud of her comment

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

I feel bad for everyone (including me) who thought the fascists would at least be ok with Space while they destroyed everything else.

[Daniel @SpaceDanielX]

@joebarnard I went to this website to post one last time to tell you that animal exploitation is bad. Whether it's for cosmetics, food or rockets, things that don't justify cruelty and death. By buying their "products", you directly support people who torture & kill innocent beings.

This is my last post on this platform. Bye.

@ScottLikesSLS No way 😂

[Zsolt Wilhelm @ZsoltWilhelm]

Wenn ich vor 4 Jahren noch Elon Musk zugehört habe, sah ich einen Zukunftsmann auf einer Rakete, der die Welt besser macht.

Wenn ich Musk heute zuhöre, sehe ich nur noch einen Mann vor mir, der abgestürzt und alle mit sich reißen will.

Es ist wohl Zeit, loszulassen.

[Daniel @SpaceDanielX]

@ScottLikesSLS Nice 😂
