Ship 30 Ready for Next Static Fire | SpaceX Boca Chica 

Soon

Same! It's going to look epic!

but im gonna miss block 1, its OG

Yes, but first we'd have to have a "Block 1" of Starship...🙃 You're probably referring to Starship V1, and I agree, it's really exciting! (Long story reeeeally short, the terminology "Block" refers to the blocking of ALL ALLOWED changes. Essentially, the design is completely set in stone, all hardware, all software, everything. This way, it can be certified. Starship has never been "blocked". Every ship is booster and ship is different than the last. Right now it's a development platform. But nonetheless extraordinarily exciting!!)

I remember the Liquid Crystal Display, hand held game from the 1980's. Just the name alone brought back so many memories.

After rivet/bolts are done they are topping them off with concrete to cover them. No loosening or rusting .

It happened quickly.

The existing chopsticks will likely never be shortened. They'll probably use them as is until they're either destroyed or get replaced with newer ones (or they prove to be good enough that they just keep using them indefinitely)

Is there a difference between this one and ship 29?

@@The_Ninja_Chinyes. This one still exists

@@The_Ninja_Chinalso it has the ablative backup layer

@@Wurtoz9643 LMAO. Made my day, thanks.

Probably to catch anything that may accidentally be dropped and workers on the ground are more protected.

people

Speculating first or second week of August.

Probably early September

It will only be used during construction. It's a safety issue.

No sooner than august 8

@@BlazeEcho9 where'd you get that from, I've heard no sooner than the 3rd

@@christianeck1775 elon just confirmed,late august even early September

@@BlazeEcho9 I didn't see anywhere where that it was postponed

Good question. I didn't see where on the tower it is.

Probably catching workers who accidentally fall.

@@EMichaelBall Or damage mitigation for a potential failed booster catch attempt? But I guess debris would fly right through those nets.

Likely for catching stuff that might fall from the tower. Hard hats will only get you so far, so to have people working below while you're lifting and working up top there needs to be some additional protection

Not any kind of RUD and more precise landing

What Partial RUD? (Are you referring to S29s flap?)

@@bryanillenberg it disassembled and fairly rapidly. Just because something does not explode does not mean it's not a RUD.

@@Wurtoz9643 not landing but splashdown. It was in the sea.

@@seriousmaran9414 *you* said landing

design something different

Not according to google. I have never heard someone use "placed" other than with hardened concrete. Maybe it is a regional expression?

Agree with knowledgeisgood9645. Worked in and around construction sites most my life and never heard the term placed or installed when it comes to concrete. Always poured. Either a regional thing or maybe an architecture or engineering term rather than the term used by those doing the work?

Yes, let’s use a word that is unclear and even misleading ("placed") instead of the word that is both accurate and intuitive. Makes perfect sense.

​@@ReinReadssame here. I worked construction in my youth, and we poured concrete. I watch YT videos of builders and they pour concrete. Never heard concrete being placed or installed except for pre-formed underground vaults that were set in place using a crane. Wet concrete was always poured.

Any of you have an engineering degree? It's what I was taught in school. You don't have to agree with it but that's what it's called.

that's the same thing I'm wondering
