@OV__101 An IUS flight is always fun. Sun probes rarely get much love though. Ulysses, SolarMax, SOHO… there’s no lander, no “surface” to image (you know what I mean), just higher res pics of sunspots, flares and prominences…

Not fair, just the way it is.

@AJ_FI Did they have an epilepsy warning?

@GraviticsInc I don’t get it. Inflatables are great for packing density at launch, while hard modules are good for pre-installed equipment and a rigid structure. This seems to be the worst of both worlds.

Does the hard shell collapse for launch? What’s the point of this design?

@AmyImhoff1701 @to0ast Patrick Stewart goes to therapy. Captain Picard fights his brother and rolls around in the mud. THERE’S A DIFFERENCE!

@TheEupolemus @OGridPete @Space_Strategy I find strongly espoused, yet willfully uninformed, opinions ironic in the midst of the Information Age.

@nabeelqu Companies like Boeing have had this for decades. Anyone doing research can look through old reports, designs and plans and write papers or even whole books on them.

@emiweelee I’ll see myself out.

@codyaims Old MiGs are cheap. It’s the FUEL that’s expensive (they are effectively straight turbojets - no bypass to speak of).

@DerekdotSpace Those are real accounts. Elon took care of the bots.

@DrChrisCombs Does that mean it’s hypersonic?
