The engineer’s creed: We chose to do this and the other things, not because they are easy, but because we *thought* they would be easy.

@Starship_20 @Flight2Starship This is objectively true. You and I both know flight 13 will still be suborbital.

@kmh @Flight2Starship Lmao, okay dude

Expected explosion btw. But some people who aren’t that bright can’t wrap their head around that.

@Flight2Starship @Starship_20 The next flight is not targeting orbit, babe.

@kmh @Starship_20 1 flight away but whatever fits your boat I guess lmao

@Starship_20 @Flight2Starship Then don’t? My intention is to show the state of the project as it is. And it’s a clusterfuck, still several flights away from orbit.

@kmh @Flight2Starship To doom on starship. You can try and say that wasn’t your intentions if you want but I personally won’t be buying it

@TimWrede2 @Tenit902 @xdNiBoR @PebMet1 What radiators are you talking about

@kmh @Tenit902 @xdNiBoR @PebMet1 Radiators obviously there is no other way to cool in space than through radiation

How many noticed that the claimed Raptor v3 thrust figures dropped dramatically?

@imEden20 @Starship_20 This is the first I’m hearing of this, where are you getting this idea that it would be bad? The opposite is true - the intact ships could be towed to shore.

@kmh @Starship_20 im saying its bad if it doesnt explode but that doesnt discount the whole mission

@TimWrede2 @Tenit902 @xdNiBoR @PebMet1 What active cooling are you talking about

@Tenit902 @xdNiBoR @kmh @PebMet1 1/week launches and towards the end of next year we will closes up on 1/3days, but a 1/week launch would be enough for Artemis 3/4 as the depo can store indefinitely thanks to active propellant cooling

@TimWrede2 @Tenit902 @xdNiBoR @PebMet1 No orbit, no docking test. Why on earth would you make these assumptions and what are they based on?

@Tenit902 @xdNiBoR @kmh @PebMet1 Yesterday moon mission will be in 2028, 2027 is only a Leo docking test and such so like Apollo 9(I think was it) I assume next launch will be in 2 months ish and towards the end of the year we will get 1/months to 1/2weeks next year around this time we probably will see roughly

@Starship_20 @Flight2Starship What was it?

@kmh @Flight2Starship Everyone knows what your intention was

@imEden20 @Starship_20 Flight 6 was bad?

@kmh @Starship_20 its bad if it doesnt explode actually

@vibechaserrr @Booster_11 Indeed. It’s all a bit sad

@kmh @Booster_11 They rly need orbit soon but I bet next flight still won’t be bc of how this flight went

I wonder if they were testing whether they could stop a roll with only one engine at the end

@Lihizz @NASASpaceflight They already have cameras at all the buoys tho

@NASASpaceflight That rotation was surely intentional to get every possible chance of good angle to look at the shield

There's the video!

@vibechaserrr @Booster_11 Ultimately they have bigger first to fry. Still not getting to orbit

@kmh @Booster_11 Yeah so Idrk why they did this if they wanted more imagery of all sides just have more cameras out there then you’d be able to test simulated catches which they need two of for a real catch, so idk why they’d do this realistically

@Kirby__283 Based on the info I had at the time yes

@kmh You didn't use those words but you fought hard to say that starliner was safe despite it's issues, even in the months after

@Blaze_R935 What is that math based on

@kmh Thats the liftoff thrust for the V4 booster.

@rexthundercock Will it tho

@kmh Operational cost for full payload deployment in orbit will be around 10mil, considering this wouldn't likely be full payload, and is suborbital? It would cost even less. Even potentially be provided for free in case of disasters.

They've mentioned point to point travel using starship on earth, and I have no reason to doubt that at all, I think both A - B travel and space tourism will become popular. But I'm even more excited about another possibility I haven't seen anyone mention yet -

@topten10fish The what

less thrust than the Hail Mary btw

@rexthundercock Ain’t nobody gonna pay for that

Special delivery for critical systems or sensitive cases. Provided that materials, or important personnel, can survive the launch (easy to accommodate even for elderly), you now have a system which can transport, lets say, emergency vaccines or trauma response material-
