@JohnFromUCLA@DJSnM Are you thinking of the Merlin engines used by Falcon 9?
This is the second brand new Starship Version 3 using Raptor V3 engines. Raptor 3s flew on flight 12 which was the first rocket to launch using Raptor 3. Neither the booster nor the Starship were recovered so no relights!
@sabooky15@PhysInHistory The picture is certainly real, I can see it! It is not a photograph, it is a representation of where the electron in a hydrogen atom is likely to be found, depending on the state of the atom.
Obviously you have no understanding of physics. Have you completed school physics?
@IrrefutableV@Jaffro14@SpaceX A vehicle that has not yet attempted to reach orbit so complaining it hasn't done it yet is kind of stupid. The FAA hasn't given a licence that permits it to go into orbit, so if it did, it would be breaking its licence.
@MichaelDOShea@fermatslibrary The agc had a 2.048MHz clock crystal, which was divided by 2 to give a 1.024MHz 4 phase internal clock.
It was a true stored program computer, although pretty specialised for its intended use. E.g., core rope memory for prog storage (a form of ROM) and interfaces to spacecraft
@Freedom2020x@Soph_astro@esaspaceflight@Space_Station Please go and learn some science. I suggest you start around grade 4 and work up from there as you obviously stopped science before grade 4.
Maybe you need to revise grade 3 first.
@Nelson91Ramirez@KudaratParat@TheGoodISIS Just look at the stupid people thinking that doing Israel's bidding and bombing Iran is a good idea. When it's actually an extremely stupid idea and is destroying the world economy.
@konstructivizm I don't know where that picture came from, but if the apparatus is spraying laser reflections all over the place it is VERY inefficient and no laser scientist would stand anywhere near it, specially wearing clear glasses.
Picture looks like it's been made by AI without knowledge
@clr5663k@forallcurious I would have a quick look at the periodic table and then investigate the reasons that it contains ALL possible elements. Note that all elements with atomic number greater than 92 are unstable (radioactive) and quickly spontaneously decay into elements of lower atomic number.
@Duck0fD3ath24@ragnarisxx@konstructivizm The software engineer responsible obviously has a lot more common sense than you do. You do realise that there is far more raw computing power in your mobile phone than in both the AGCs in Apollo put together and there was no computer 'vision' to be able to see any rocks.
@Duck0fD3ath24@lastmannorth@konstructivizm Although there was a program that was designed to be able to land the lunar module, IT WAS NEVER USED. In every case, the pilot opted to use the semi-automatic landing program which used the computer to get the lem into the correct area and then landing was performed by pilot
@EERandomness@SpaceX I would have hoped that any failure of this magnitude would have happened during the B18.1 or B18.3 testing rather than a whole booster though.
@jeremy757jones@Erdayastronaut@elonmusk Well the starship upper stage has about 1200 tonnes of fuel, but it doesn't start burning any of that until hot staging, which occurs around 70km. Since the rocket is also traveling horizontally as well as vertically, it's much more than 70km from the pad at that point -long hose
