Industrial logic controllers used in all factories react in 1’s to 10’s of milliseconds and in some cases in terms of microseconds for safety interrupts. GNC loop on Starship likely has similar specs. Blink your eye once and Starship has likely performed all actions 50 times already.
@mattvanswol I agree a day for voting would be great, but no way everyone can get off work to come vote. Just look at how many companies are open on Easter and Christmas. Some factories can’t shut down, gas stations, retail, etc. 😞
My money is on sensors or software parameters as the root cause. No way 2-4 raptors all had mechanical problems.
At this point the hardware is fairly solid. Problems are usually a bad/erroneous sensor/actuator/valve or a harmonic/variable/reading outside the limits set in software. In all fairness to the SpaceX engineers: you don’t know what you don’t know. Can simulate and set parameters you think are correct, but no way to know until you fire it up in real world conditions.
Heard they are replacing 2 of the 4 engines which tells us that hardware was not the problem on at least 2 of the engines. Wish I had more information so I don’t have to speculate. A😉 Anyone know what happened?
I understand your point and agree with much of it.
Time change doesn’t effect me much but my family and colleagues have varying degrees of issues. Many studies about lost job productivity out there as you know.
If folks have issues getting up in morning there are many options such as those alarm clocks with a big room light that change color to simulate sunrise. Etc. I’m simply using this as one example of many options. Even computers and phones have screens that change hue based on sun cycle.
My belief is that we should just pick one time and stick with it and the rest will sort itself out and each person can utilize different tools to help if needed.
@ARealRocketMan@WatchersTank Also, no dance floor platform to perform engine work at pad; must destack and take booster back to bay to perform any engine work. I see as temporary inconvenience as reliability will increase so need to do repairs at pad not needed.
Why 4 engines not start yesterday and only replacing 2? Seems root problem not engine related, but root problem caused engine damage? If problem was with engines then replace all 4; which seems highly unlikely chance 4 engines were all bad and that caused them to fail start up.
Anyone know or have good idea what really failed yesterday? Thanks
@ThibosNkutha@cb_doge Thanks for the context. Amazon partnering into a known oppressive government and market is not a good look for Amazon and says something of thier business ethics.
@ItsMR_BEAN@mr_viewX@grok Thanks. If someone interferes can you call the police, show them the paperwork, then they remove the person so you can complete the tow? (i’m not a crazy or anybody trying to cause problems. I’m just curious and wondering how these situations work. Thank you.)
@WallStreetMav Slicer is set too thin for meat and cheese. Almost see through. Very little protein for the money. Tasty subs, but I don’t go often due to the skimpy meat. I need to order a larger sub to get filled up the same as years ago.
