@BellikOzan @ThePrimalDino @Xoey80239413 on the other hand hi @ThePrimalDino been a long while since i've been on twitter

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@BellikOzan @ThePrimalDino @Xoey80239413 Exactly, the whole theme of the conversation was about when we would have a commercially available heavy launch vehicle, which to be frank, the SLS won't be "commercially available" for a while, so no, the SLS, in Bolden's comment, is not real and has not achieved what he said.

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@pedromira848 ah yes, we should also make their speedometer constantly shout the speed

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@spacekoala @AeroBigMike Very true

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@AeroBigMike @spacekoala I don't have enough information to assume the failure was quality control on behalf of SpaceX, I'm not sure if they even manufacture their own COPV's so I can't blame anyone for what happened until we get more info, which i doubt we will have honestly.

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@diegzumillo @DJSnM love the reference

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@AeroBigMike @spacekoala Need I remind you that starship is a test campaign which is designed to be tested to failure to eliminate flaws before they are a risk mid-flight?
SLS also had it's (although much smaller) test campaign, but I wouldn't be an asshole and say
"this will take humans to lunar orbit"

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@KerbalNut @DJSnM They could've just reverted to the launch pad... smh

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@KerbalNut @DJSnM HAHAHAHAHAHHA

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@spacekoala @AeroBigMike Trying not to be delusional here, as much as I want it to happen I figure those two events will be roughly close to each other, starship will be orbital by then but I'm unsure about an actual full reuse without major heat shield/part replacements

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@AeroBigMike @spacekoala Although they are much nothing alike, you saw how the falcon 9 was expendable then got reused a couple times and now they are reusing them rapidly and multiple times, I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume the same is possible with starship

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@AeroBigMike @spacekoala Reuse has in fact happened with the booster

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@greijukainen @anliakho @DJSnM I mean those are both technically ballistic trajectories

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

that did NOT age well

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

remember "How Not To Land An Orbital Rocket Booster"?
when we get the first superheavy landing on mechazilla we need "How Not To Land A Superheavy Booster"

shit'll be so funny

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@Omari_Dell @AlexInAir Gear gravity extension on that model is locked for >270kts, must have been going really fast to not deploy it

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@waschbar21 @thefuzz247 @SpaceX turns out it was 17cm so right between your estimate

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@S3XYstarship @SpaceX must've smeared your brain all over the walls cause that was fucking fantastic

[Kerbal Madness @SDragonxl]

@Jonatha31095487 it's built now for sure damn right

@cnunezimages Really like this picture, surprised no one's made a 9/11 joke yet
