Booster 11 was rolled out and lifted onto the Orbital Launch Mount (OLM) as SpaceX prepares the vehicle for more testing and eventually launch. Booster 11 will launch the fourth Starship test flight before making a hopeful soft splashdown into the Gulf of Mexico.

An arial photo time-series walkthrough of all the infrastructure being rearranged/moved would seem like a really helpful way to wrap people's heads around all the change that is taking place. Just a suggestion. If anyone can pull off such a "I think -this- is how it's going to play out" that would be you guys NASASpaceflight. Starting at 15:05 segment, coolest helicopter, and helicopter footage EVER! Well done Bocachicagal and Jack.

Great to watch all the work that is going on but the moon looks so close that it hard to understand sometimes why we can’t just go. ❤👍🏻

@jamesrosar3823 18 күн бұрын

Sometimes it may look close, but it is actually freakin’ huge, and really far away, at least by Earthly standards. Try using your own body to cross time zones to get a ‘feel’ for how big this planet is, and realize that the Moon is fully a third as large. Still, compared to Mars, we can spit on it; and to Alpha Centauri, it’s your door jamb to a hike on the Appalachian Trail, full send!

@dancingdog2790 18 күн бұрын

Nothing wrong with checking the initial installation, and possibly revising the procedure based on the results! It's a superpower of production capacity that you don't need first-piece perfection, just good enough, and your process can be refined over thousands of subsequent units.

@jamesrosar3823 18 күн бұрын

Better to break a ship than a crew. No crew will launch until the entire procedure and hardware has had all the drama completely ironed out of it. There is no longer any tolerance for sacrificing highly trained people for the sake of a companies’ profit. Spaceflight is hard, but a private company has no national goal that might make such a failure tolerable. A national goal, to beat another nation, would have to be personally invoked by each crew member at risk to have a hope of making such a risk palatable.

@thomashayden804 18 күн бұрын

It seems like it's likely testing out the ground infrastructure at the new static fire stand. Things like the tanks, pumps, etc. Best to put a ship like S26 on there in case anything does cause issues, and it means they don't have to tie up another ship they'd want to work on. As for engines, it just never has them taken off since its last static fire, so they're still there. We may or may not see any firing at Massey's soon, but it can't use the RVacs as it stands because there are no stiffener rings on them

@DebraJean196 12 күн бұрын

SpaceX wastes a lot of money - for example, Gateway to Mars sign now being shortened and possibly moved. Parking lot destroyed, etc. Seems like poor planning to me, but I could very well be wrong. Cool to watch parking garage going up in prefab rather than poured in place!
