Out flyin’

[Spiffles @Spiffles_]

@TMantis5 @ThePrimalDino Falcon heavy might not be enough to put MK1 on the moon, but I’m not sure how reliable google’s pass numbers are.

[Rhett Hobart @RhettHobart]

Lots of misinformation here.

We had a local hotel contracted for months - they did not hold up their end of the agreement and never blocked the rooms, per the agreement. We found this out at the same time Ole Miss did when we tried to contact the hotel as well and got no response.

Ole Miss also requested 25 additional rooms above the NCAA-required block - not uncommon, but there was no shot that the hotel which already didn’t block the contracted rooms could then also come up with 25 more.

In order to accommodate the larger room block request, we suggested another hotel option that had more availability + a sister hotel in a shared parking lot. This provided much more than the rooms being requested. This provided 34 rooms at one hotel and additional as at the adjacent property.

This was solved within 6 hours of being made aware of the issue.

@ThePrimalDino MK2 is too heavy for B1B. Would be a lot quicker and less expensive to focus on rebuilding Blue’s pad and continue developing the other technology required to put MK2 on the moon.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

That is not correct. You can look up what the SLS Block 1B cargo variant can send to TLI, and that mass is well below the public MK2 data.

And to be clear, NASA is very focused on assisting Blue Origin with root cause analysis, pad recovery, and, most importantly, continuing to advance a lander that can meet Artemis III and crewed landing timelines.

@justinackermann @JackWhitlock Regardless of if it really mattered or not at that phase of flight it’s still alarming that this issue has come back.

Anyone ever seen interstate-induced clouds before? Low level CU developed perfectly along major interstates around Houston this morning. Kind of shocking to see such perfectly lined up clouds. #txwx

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.

Wow I’m surprised by a lot of things here. They seem pretty confident they’ll be able to turn things around quickly so sticking with 7x2 for now.

I thought for sure they’d go to 9x4 but I’ll eat my hat on that one

@LRjackjack8730 WE ALREADY HIT RETURN TO SPACE CENTER 😭😭😭

[Spiffles @Spiffles_]

@SpaceDavenport SLC-40 was down for over a year. They had the benefit of already working on a 2nd pad at LC-39A.

BO does not have another pad they are close to launching from. This is much, much worse.

[Spiffles @Spiffles_]

Blue Origin

[Spiffles @Spiffles_]

@TrumpCa28274106 @NBCNews They have jurisdiction over anything that launches from the United States

@strkerb Real ones remember hopper nearly falling off of the pad during the 20 meter tethered hop
