Well fuck, I'm speechless. Amazing test flight!

[-] ludu@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

I will set my expectations pretty low as usual haha, so that I'm at worst satisfied with the outcome, and at best, pleasantly surprised.

So, I'm thinking the ship is not going to make it to splashdown. If Flight 4 is a repeat of Flight 3 minus the tumbling and with the ship going a bit farther into the reentry, then it's already progress. For the booster, from the SpaceX article they published some time ago, it seems that the issue requires a redesign, and that the fix applied on Booster 11 is only partial. I wouldn't be surprised if it still RUDs during the landing burn, but who knows?

What I'm more interested about is the flight rate, which is not so great at the moment.

Again, it's fair speculation, and I don't necessarily disagree with you, but it's just that, speculation.

Can't wait for Thursday, it's going to be great!

Musk sure has derailed since COVID, but making a link between this and the cancellation of DearMoon is... a stretch, at best. Unless you have some source to back up that claim. I'm just nitpicking about the form, since you kind of presented it as a fact while it's pure speculation (to my knowledge).

We're getting close, very exciting!

Now with an overpressure notice for tomorrow, I'm hopeful it's a good sign that even if something major happened, the booster did not take a serious hit.

[-] ludu@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Really hoping for no major setback after what happened during the last tests with the booster.

Might make sense to post space_rocket_builder's words here as well, given his past record.

Thanks for the daily updates, much appreciated.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing. Well, it's no secret that Musk derailed during COVID, and never came back on track.

Porter ce prénom, ça doit être un enfer.
