Loved the "💖 Stack Me" sign (059) on the Module. Those SpaceX workers have a sense of enjoyment in their job. And was the Green Light on Module 2 reminded me of Thunderbird 2. THis Starship System is certainly a bit like that at times. Cheers to the second Tower.
Really, they waited till they cpuld perfectly and confidently allign that first section to the mount. And now there are stacking it so fast like lego bricks. Can't to wait to see it complete. Thanks NSF❤
Can say was expecting a SF not a SP BUT any testing is an enjoyful thing to watch. They have their reasons for testing. And BIG thanks to NSF for being there to catch all the chnages going on.
They need to do a cut with Thunderbirds music.... sprang to mind as Module 2 rolled along the road on the multiwheeled thing..which was very Thunderbirds
I wonder if it’s going to be a routine thing to skip a couple ships and do the same tests again spin prime igniter test cause it’s been a couple ships since there last test, it would be cool to see a heat shield test no? It’s a form of qualifying everything new with the hard wear is working together good. And I think this next flight will be perfect.
Its pretty wild. But its perfectly feasible so i wouldnt call it insane. And ridiculous bits of metal is just talking smack with out any depth. The new shorter version will be a better setup but i think these will do the job.
@@ReinReads At a testing site? Its not just another ship that can be ignored without causing problems for the entire process. They absolutely must keep changing things on this tower in order to learn what will work better on future designs.
They spin up the engines and let fuel flow through them without igniting it. Its simply to make sure the ground support and the vehicle are working properly and can bring the engines up to that point exactly how they want. Its a very delicate dance with a very tight coordination of things that have to happen within fractions of a second of each other in the correct order for it to ready to ignite without causing damage.
This was basically it. Its only the process of starting the engines without igniting them, you dont do it any longer then it takes to fire engines normally.
@Vatsyayana87 yeah, I remember they used the launch base to start the engines initially, then compressed gas is used in flight to restart the engines for boost back and landing
