@DimaZeniuk It would be cool to take a segment of Starship and create some memoir coins, keychains etc... Engrave Flight 14 and the date. This one was pretty special.😉🐄🌙

@ABabe2563 @ferrari619371 @business I do not understand the pushback to the idea that the heatshield is a major challenge when the CEO of the company has said it himself, multiple times. If you look at the heatshield now, yes the vehicle survived, but it has a long while to go before it requires no refurbishment.

The heat shield that protects SpaceX’s Starship vehicle as it plummets back to Earth may prove to be a substantial roadblock to Elon Musk’s path to designing a rapidly reusable rocket, according to former NASA researchers bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@K3PLRLEAF @ferrari619371 @business Wrong guy.🙃

@ABabe2563 @ferrari619371 @business But you lot would rather take "This is gonna be a challenge for SpaceX to solve" and interpret it as "They'll NEVER EVER do this!" Not everything is a hit piece.

@K3PLRLEAF @ferrari619371 @business No there is not. You have seen the ship. And there are other examples and spaceflight history. There are the engines though.

@ABabe2563 @ferrari619371 @business there are still plenty of unknowns about starship reuse. We dont know how long a ship will take to get ready for flight again. That is a fact. Elon himself stated that this heatshield is one of the most difficult parts of the entire vehicle architecture.

@theannalush Yes.

Does black look good on me here ?

@jameslmorton @cyborg0621t @business At the current pace no. A monthly cadence of "15 launches" which would be 1500 tons of fueling...that's over a year to fuel HLS. The ship has a capacity of 1700 tons. "Over a few hours"?🤔🙃

@cyborg0621t @ABabe2563 @business HLS Starship requires 20 Starship launches over a few hours for a single mission, and that’s supposed to be ready for human flight in 2028.

@K3PLRLEAF @ferrari619371 @business That's a vague, relative statement. So do you.🙃

@ABabe2563 @ferrari619371 @business They still have a long ways to go

@Stellarixorine 17.6 million pounds of thrust. Need to get those numbers right. That's off by a million. SLS 8.8 million. So twice SLS.

🔥 33 Raptor engines. 16.7 million pounds of thrust. One unforgettable launch. 🚀

@joeyigw @ShiftyShylock These ships have radios.

@ShiftyShylock Moving too fast, they would've adjusted course a good while ago at the initial junction. Last spot is the storage site.

Possible vessel spotted. Waiting to see if it clears a few potential stops before declaring. We'll be posting live updates for the recovery operations in our discord starting tomorrow morning!

@ElonogyX You need to record every moment of what his critics say. See what happens.🤔😆

Elon Musk: “I generally would recommend for leaders of the world to just literally post your own stuff. Once in a while, you make a mistake. Don't worry about it. Can't win them all.”

@Stellarixorine Nice video editing.

🚀 Starship 13 in Slow Motion.

@shaunmmaguire Civilization survived for thousands of years without the internet.😆

Elon buying X was a civilization saving move

@interstellargw @mcrs987 @joeyigw

Recovery Operations: Possible 2 Vessels located. SKIMMER TIDE and NORMAND RANGER are both cruising up to 15knots toward GO AUSTRALIS location. Vessel Spotters: @mcrs987 @joeyigw

@euwyn He was paid to help the other companies stay in business.

Here are a few other things that the experts said about SpaceX: "There is no scenario in which the economics of reusable launch vehicles makes them preferable in cost to expendable launch vehicles." – Dr. Stephen Book (Aerospace Cost Analyst) "It's pretty darn hard to make that [reusability] actually save money." – Tory Bruno (CEO United Launch Alliance) "I support the encouragement of the newcomers... But I am not confident." – Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11 Commander) "I think the odds are against them." – Burt Rutan (Founder & Chief Engineer Scaled Composites) "This is not the time to experiment." – Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17 Astronaut) "Get your boy Elon in line!" – Bill Nelson (Senator)

@deltaIV9250 24 work stands for mega bay.

How many ships and boosters can SpaceX build with the gigabay and megabay? And they’re planning on a second gigabay in Florida, no?

@mcrs987 At 20kts?😆

NORMAND RANGER hauling ass out to S40

@alasdairskeil @Republic_col @mcrs987 The ship is about 15 tons heavier. Hanging by cables underneath maybe.

@Republic_col @mcrs987 Surely the 747 adapted to carry the shuttle could do it?

Okay so, bit of confusion over what's happening yesterday so here's where we're at: Two vessels are outbound to S40 to assist in recovery operations. NORMAND RANGER and SKIMMER TIDE. Both are similar in size to Australis and Ranger especially seems fit for towing. Ranger will arrive at the site in the next day and a half while Skimmer will arrive in two. GO Australis is still closely following the drifting Starship, 134 hours and counting since landing.

@thefficacy @alasdairskeil @Republic_col @mcrs987 Hanging by cables underneath.

@alasdairskeil @Republic_col @mcrs987 Nope. Even the C-5 Galaxy doesn’t have the payload capacity to carry the ship, even empty.
