Back at the build site, Booster 13 begins to take shape while the Starfactory expansion continues, and over at Cape Canaveral, Doug is sent out to join Bob and Just Read the Instructions in Charleston while SpaceX launches Axiom-3, it's 12th manned mission.

      @patricklewis7636 4 місяці тому +1

      I get the feeling that a lot of this kind of thing (this, the stringers on Ship 26, Lots of other weird things at the test site) are SpaceX people working out the line between what you can engineer on paper and what can actually be produced by real workers. Those tanks in the first place are a good example. Good on paper, but terrible in practice and eventually replaced.

    - When do you think OFT 3 will head up?
    - What new tech are they coming out with to catch faring's?
    - What do you think X is going to do with RL11000?
    - Next launch?
    - Why did it take almost 40 hours for Dragon to dock with the ISS?
    - Where do you think the second tower will go with the land trade agreement?
    Again, thanks for a great episode! Looking forward to the next.

      1. Currently NET February
      2. No new tech. Scooping out of the ocean surface is good enough
      3. Repair work
      4. Elaborate?
      5. Because of orbital mechanics
      6. Most likely replacing the suborbital pads

      Very rural and the only options are hughes net or twisted pair. Hughes net is too expensive and twisted pair is too slow. Another selling feature for me was the easy setup I used my old dish mount and the adapter from starllink and haven't had a problem since. @@patricklewis7636

    I like your narrative, because I don't need to 'see' everything. Im half asleep anyways. Picture compilations don't appeal to me; my eyes are usually off screen. I'm happy with 10-15 min extremely clear audio news updates, with accurate visual porting when i do look.

    IFT3 or OFT1 will hopefully stick to the flight plan. Looks as if they already have all the rockets that the license allows for this year. With a 2nd launch tower, I think they will have HLS certified by summer '26. 20 successfull flights needed.
