SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Failed Fairing recovery

@braves2430 Peanut butter apples.

Can You name one food item? ✋✋

@HotTakeCity904 Option B.

Which one is it??

Height of 13.1 meters, external diameter of 5.2 meters, usable volume of 145 cubic meters. Other fairings are slightly wider and taller with more usable volume. I get that customers choose Falcon 9 because of its low cost (and reusability), but they need to take into consideration the fairing’s usable volume; especially if it’s a big cluster of satellites to LEO, or a heavy high-power communications satellite to GTO.

@GewoonLukas_ @RoryTheSpaceGuy This. It's a size issue, not weight. Remember that Falcon 9 has the smallest fairing of all these rockets.

Notice how they gave less satellites to Falcon 9 even though it has a higher capacity than Atlas V?

Following the historic Conestoga 1 launch in September 1982, it was more than a decade later that the Conestoga rocket underwent a revamp to make it a modular-type rocket with different upper stage types & strap-on boosters arrangements. Only one model of this new Conestoga rocket family was launched in October 1995: the Conestoga 1620. It was to have carried the COMET recoverable experimental satellite to a Low Earth Orbit, but it failed 46 seconds into flight.

@eccorca I love underrated rockets so I like conestoga

he got back to me, and in the email he casually dropped that the first stage used for Conestoga 1 had already flown thrice, and he gave me a new, decently niche Percheron photo

I landed safely.

@Dominos_UK They forgot pepperoni.

@Matt_Pinner Captain Universe.

Name a famous captain

@elonmusk You’re posting this to give a hint about Starship Flight 12’s target launch date, are you?

@AstroSardine @ScottLikedSLS SpaceX actually planned on a lunar version of Crew Dragon about a decade ago, but the problem was designing a new heat shield that would withstand the increased reentry heating from a trans-Earth injection, rather than simply coming out of Low Earth Orbit.

@ScottLikedSLS At that point SLS is completely unnecessary and a massive waste bc surely a new Glenn could put Orion into Leo for a fraction of the price or just lunar rate crew dragon

This would be for Artemis VI+ which was already known. and also this is not "planning" this is simply a proposal as of now.

@JonTheBeagleDad @julia_bergeron Playalinda Beach is less than two miles from Pad 39B. Bad idea to watch from there, unless you want to be deaf.

@julia_bergeron but you dont say why ?

Note to visitors ahead of the Artemis II launch- Visiting Playalinda Beach and the surrounding refuge is always a good choice during your stay. However, you will not be able to stop at the vistas or beach lots 1-3 while SLS is on the pad. Starting March 20th hours are 8am-5pm.

@ASE_Astronauts @astro_matthias @SpaceX @Space_Station Happy b-day, @astro_matthias.

#HappyBirthday to ASE member @astro_matthias, who first flew to space in 2021 aboard @SpaceX Crew-3 as part of an expedition to the @Space_Station (Expedition 66/67)!

@slvulture I am.

Who else is excited about Artemis II? 🙋‍♂️👀

@RealJamesWoods @elonmusk Why would he be? What’s the point?

Why isn’t @elonmusk also in charge of NASA?

@GamewithDave The N64.

Which night are you picking?

@OfficialMoonDAO You can try, but I doubt they’ll say yes.

@ZachSellinger should we send some of them to space?

What's going to happen to these people when Artemis II launches? One thing's for certain: We need to send many, many more people to space to experience the Overview Effect.

@Kekius_Sage Then what emoji should we use instead?

Gen Z wants people to stop using the thumbs up emoji saying it’s ‘rude’

@TaylorHose Are you referring to the Epcot ride?

As the commander of Mission Space, I can assure my crew successfully completed their mission.
