@TrpstrLeonOG It’s both. People don’t want to work anymore. Many of them expect to be paid more than their worth to the company. Annnnnd, rent is too high. Homes are overvalued. Food is too expensive. Goods are overpriced.
@Southshore6643@JoshSharp@JeffBezos@NASA@USSpaceForce Not if the engines started the conflagration. And the force of the explosion went out in all directions, quickly. You could say the bottom of the stack experienced more force since the explosion had no where to go.
@nv_busdrvr@DJSnM Hush Alex. Scott Manley has always posted information that is accurate and fact based. His knowledge is broad and he asks questions that I wouldn’t even think. I don’t see how quoting the NTSB report, and asking a question is acting “as an expert on it.”
@Eric86375466@DJSnM@RealAirPower1 Yep I agree Eric. It won’t be “full steam ahead”, but the bottom line is there a measurable force the helicopter can apply to the ship that isn’t negligible.
@CTrot35@fjdarling@DJSnM@NASASpaceflight That’s when the stack begins to fall. Watch it slow motion, you’ll see the tip of the rocket fall many feet and then the fire at the interstage occurs. The pressure front shredded the assembly.
@PebMet1@SpaceX Isn’t it a prototype? Yes, yes it is. There’s never been a launch vehicle with this design process. There’s never been a launch provider attempting to fly thousands of changes over a few units. Starship lives rent free in your head right now, wait until it is mass produced.
@Lunnzies@BabyBear2115@mcrs987 Elon said in an interview that the Raptor “really wants to explode.” And reiterated it. They’ll figure it out. They’ve earned my confidence in them.
@AJamesMcCarthy@AndrewBGilly And you can see versions of this on almost any rocket during ascent. The fact this is the most photographed rocket ever gives us many opportunities to view things we’ve never seen, with clarity we’ve never imagined.
@TheICEAgent007@HighRollaKrush2@SpaceX@Starlink Shortly and instantly are two different things. The picture was likely taken in an instant, after sep, but before shut down. Unless this angle is conveniently hiding the down engine.
