Build atlas v with star liner
2020-07-08 17:56:17 +0000 UTCHow much mass in the Starship is comprised of fore and aft flaps, with actuators and in the heat shielding? Thinking of a set of Starships dedicated as orbital tank farm. Strip the Starship of all return mass, and convert remaining starship into two tanks - LOX and LCH4. PLus plumbing. controls, thrusters for orbit keeping. These are grouped/coupled together as repository for tankers from Earth and are the fuel stop for outbound Starships. Advantage is that it decouples tankers from Starships, and provides one step refuel for the outbound Starships. On launch these are simply oversized fuel tanks and should make it to orbit with residual fuel already in place. They form core of some follow on ideas I'm considering. Have you any quiet links to SpaceX engineers you can share? Discretely of course..

2020-06-14 20:31:19 +0000 UTCMy 5 year-old was really scared that the rocket was going to crash into the ship and break it and was then worried that it was going to burn the ship when he saw the engine fire.
2020-05-31 10:14:41 +0000 UTCMy 2 year old loves your channel so I had to be a patreon. He just shouts "rocket, rocket" every 10 seconds. You are the only thing I can watch with him besides baby cartoons lol. Thank you!

2020-05-29 22:20:18 +0000 UTCIt appears the 6PMish start time has at least a 20-minute variance built in.

2020-05-29 22:17:23 +0000 UTCI take it the technical test isn't going well, as its 22:08 UTC and we're waiting for Tim, according to YouTube!
