UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread SpaceX wraps up investigation of Starship Flight 7 explosion (video).The FTS actuation that broke up the Ship is said to have been "autonomous". So, it was not the choice of SpaceX to have it do exactly...
-
UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread What makes Mars the 'Red' Planet? Scientists have some new ideas.Because the ferrihydrite forms from exposure to cold water, I am wondering if its presence on Mars really indicates much water on the...
-
UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread SpaceX targeting Feb. 28 for Flight 8 of Starship megarocket.It is a development program designed to result in a "fully reusable" upper and lower stage. So far, only one of the attempts to recover...
