@AshleyKillip@RGVaerialphotos Great renders. A bit disappointed to hear that these are to be used after each launch, I thought SpaceX's plans were for rapid reuse and low maintenance of the OLM?
@Anarita510Jenna@SpaceX The drone ships are for Falcon 9 rockets and are thousands of miles away from the Indian Ocean (where this Starship second stage landed).
@lifeatstagezero About time too, can't start work on Pad 1's new OLM without four of these corner pieces for the bottom layer. Have any more been spotted?
@billhanley10@TurkeyBeaver@JoeTegtmeyer If your legs are replaced, are you still the same person? (in the case of the humanoid gems in the excellent anime Land of the Lustrous, the answer is "not quite" because the whole body serves as a memory store).
@yingzhangphoto Make the most of that view of the Milky Way, in the not so distant future there will be hundreds of thousands of comms and datacenter sats in orbit and they will outnumber those stars that can be seen from any point on Earth. Who will launch them all? SpaceX, Amazon, China, etc.
@jeboisdupetrole@VickiCocks15@LabPadre The door is closed to stop the ship swaying a bit from any wind entering the mega bay, so a lack of wind makes it easier to set the ship down on any type of stand, it's also done when lifting a ship off a stand and onto a work stand. They do the same with boosters.
@TylerG1998 Stunning view, thanks for the amazing photo. Does it concern you that the view could be negatively affected as the number of comms and datacenter satellites dramatically increases over the next ten years?
