@BenRatterree @KenKirtland17 Maybe you want to recover functional computers before deorbiting the satellite

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@Robotbeat Idk, I’d expect reuse workload to scale pretty sublinearly with rocket size. Definitely same with personnel required per test/launch

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@heskelbalas @Robotbeat @Dr_Gingerballs Honestly a LOT of spacex engineers are new, they have a lot of churn

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@segyges Bro you’re the one roasting normies for “naive physics”

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@segyges That doesn’t sound like it’s about ‘very little friction’

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@segyges Drag to mass is what matters if both are coasting to a stop. It doesn’t require advanced physics to identify that this is a square-cube issue

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@segyges I think you are overestimating your physical understanding here. Terminal SWE brain

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@segyges Hmm I think a man on water skis has a higher drag to mass ratio than a boat

@Twist_404 @Unixsystem13 @Carl7117 @PurpStickyRice @Starship_20 Rocketlab is struggling a ton with its engines ( to be expected, turbomachinery is hard) AND their structures (supposed to be their edge)

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@cosmicjake37 @Graham_117 What engine hotfire cadence would make you happy?

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@BigDickBarclay What’s the mechanism there? The refrigerants don’t mix with the air

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@KSP_is_AWESOME @otherside_X42 Laaaame. It could be an interesting written answer question

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@KSP_is_AWESOME @otherside_X42 Nah you could totally talk about how ice vehicles have a fixed power, which results in a decreasing maximum forward acceleration with speed, but brakes are typically traction limited and can induce a similar acceleration at any speed

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@KSP_is_AWESOME @otherside_X42 They might be able to lurch forward from a stop quickly enough to throw the water back like that

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@KSP_is_AWESOME @otherside_X42 It’s probably not C because trucks can’t accelerate very well when they’re moving fast

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@TheCatholicEngr @RealOtisCrune It wasn’t primarily a structural issue

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@lavaisacamper @TheCatholicEngr Ah I thought it was a handling problem

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@TheCatholicEngr I’m pretty sure it was a copv thing, not fea

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@Lunar_Outlaw @davill Yeah they’d need federal approval for new construction. I don’t think brevard county has a say

[Punished Chazwick @upsidechazwick]

@Lunar_Outlaw @davill There isn’t a city or county here. They have permission for whatever their original launch pad design was, they won’t need building permits in the traditional sense
