The road is closed for testing to commence between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. local time. Ship 29 so far has conducted two cryogenic proof tests, as well as a Spin Prime test of all six engines, on March 11. A static fire was also conducted earllier in the week. The initial Static Fire featured all six engines.

I missed the first one, glad I got to see this one.

Trevor and Ryan provide great commentary and stay on focus. Thank you for the stream.

@NASASpaceflight Both ship and booster can hoover, that is the key. Makes it relatively easy to do as can position exactly.
-
Let’s go SpaceX!!

Looked like 1 engine, as you can see at 1:12:36

Good old Stennis. Seeing the test in this video makes me miss my time working there for Lockheed and Rolls-Royce from 2004-2012.
-
I was wondering if the propellant transfer could’ve caused the initial rolling? Is it possible that in the waitlist environment moving the propellant could’ve caused them to lose control?
-
what would be nice is to see what the layout is INSIDE the booster and starship, if there is a graphic or some animation that would be great.
-
Great commentary as usual 😊
-
Good luck.

Fish cakes are like crab cakes, that would have been an easy answer for Jack and much more appetizing. HaHaHa

Fish cakes are delicious, actually.

why don't they build an elevated piston like hydraulic metal grill landing ring pad alongsisde OLM under chopsticks to catch at the base and take up weight slowly sinking starshi/booster to give more time for chopsticks to positionally engage? and why no orbital tilebots to patch lost tiles?
-
Has anyone answered these questions? -how will they land the first Starship, assuming they just caught a booster after launch? In terms of suggested launch cadence down the road, is it seriously possible to make a flight every day or so considering the enormous amount of noise produced? If Starbase is cranking out ships and boosters, where will they go and how will they get there? If not point-to-point, then there will have to be some method of shipping these large rockets around. And that basically goes for anyplace that launches these things - will they have to be built nearby? (Ultimately, I think takeoffs may have to move off-shore, simply due to noise. Not to mention evacuating Starbase for every launch.)
-
I was wondering when they attempt a booster landing with the chopsticks what will they use for the day luge??,,..Niagra Fallls?
-
Reburn entry test ?

Got unsubscribed?
