@LozzaFox Nah...u just a sad little posh boy that maybe lost something (might be the boyfriend or just virginity..or both) to someone with a bit more melanine. Can't figure out why red hair guys like me can have genes so bad that make me so ashamed...well...it's an UK thing I guess
@allenanalysis The lack of diplomacy from @elonmusk is one of the reasons why he didn't even went for deputy. Only behind a keyboard he his able to say a complete sentence...as far as we can see from interviews and presentations. It is not autism: It's education, studies and pratice
@torybruno The landscape at Cape doesn't help (too shallow with lots of water pools) and the barriers usually very open (most of the time dont even stop aligators :) ). Are the buildings rated to stand floods like these? Cant imagine the aftermath
@StarShip_S24 @torybruno Amazing rocket. I saw Av-056 from Playa Linda and the plumb from those engines was just beautifull. I cannot wait to see vulcan version (hopefully around sunrise :) best time to see it)
@torybruno Streamline those beautifull BE4 engines must be a challenge. The pace of making Vulcans is limited by the BE4? Or are they made based on the customer demand?
@torybruno True fact. But that means others can apply a higher pace on R&D which might distance further from ULA in that future...maybe thats how they succeed on their promisses? Hope ULA balances this effort
@torybruno We all do. Provides maneuverability but we have to remember that landing on ground is harder than at sea. In case of abort, can dreamchase land in any other place or does it need a specific pit conditions like spaceshuttles?
@DJSnM Wondering how harder are these suits to setup inside starliner...compared with the simple yet reliable spacex suits. I don't understand why these kind of knowledge is not shared accross all US private companies
@torybruno Since these metals are strong (but heavy), would it worth the challenge to make the nozzles like the exaust of a F15 jet where could adjust from sealevel to their best performance during ascend? Kind of aerospike? Or the increase in performance wouldnt worth?
@elonmusk@SpaceX couldnt we use a sealevel engine with a temporary blast ring that would be discarded after max-Q? Something cheap to replace of course (protected with tile alike element)...just curious what simulations would show
