All rockets have explosives on them; to blow them up in case of an anomaly during flight as they would be over the ocean in a matter of seconds. | ||

It's guaranteed to be exciting watching a flammable skyscraper take to the skies. | ||

It's guaranteed to be exciting watching a flammable skyscraper take to the skies. I'll be awake and ready. This is definitely going to be exciting. I'm hoping it completes the test and they get enough valuable data to turn it around by March. Get another set and then it's on to payloads. I'd bet end 2024 we get the first crewed mission and then 2025 we have this going every 2-3 months. I'm also really looking forward to how they're going to release payloads and how they're going to fit it for humans to ride it. The concepts look dope. But until I see actual work being done, I'm assuming they're strapped in on fruit crates. | ||

I wonder how much testing is required for the actuator now to make sure it's g2g. Is it an all day thing now since they delayed and they can do a couple hours of just rotating and checking? | ||
