      @@minnesotachris7884 i'm not saying spaceX is rushing things but things like launching in terrible weather for observation purposes and having stuff blow up and spread shrapnel for thousands of yards in every direction is just giving the FAA an excuse to shut them down. No military test flight would even think of testing in VFR conditions unless that was the direction purpose of that test even if technically IFR/VFR shouldn't matter; if something goes wrong you don't want to add to the list of potential liabilities in troubleshooting the cause of the problem.

      @@adamc6371 True; having the things explode on the pad when coming into contact with the ground after a hard/botched landing in one thing. Having one explode at altitude is another animal all together. The FAA is no doubt asking what would happen if it had exploded at the flights apogee or close to it? Where would those large pieces of debris have landed then? I have a feeling their investigation this time is going to take a while.

      @Ulrich.Bierwisch 3 роки тому +1

      @@sumit8743 I think they just wanted SN11 out of the way. SN15 with a lot of changes is in the making and there isn't a lot to learn with another flight of a model that obviously doesn't work. That's why SN12-14 is canceled. I know a lot about testing and analyzing test data. If they needed the data from this flight, they never would start without being able to get video footage. After such a test, success or not, you always want to match the video data frame by frame with the measurements of all the sensors on the object.
      Actually, I think they switched the best raptor engine out against a bad one to save it for more important flights.

      @@RobertMOdell Don't feel bad, I never saw large bulldozers driving out into the Gulf of Mexico either, until last year. They are wasting billions of dollars from the BP oil spill payout to try and slow down the erosion along parts of the Louisiana coast. It used to get refreshed by sediment from the spring flood on the Mississippi River, until they built levees, which now send the clay and sand far out into the Gulf. Anyway, last year a local TV station was doing a feature on fighting coastal erosion, and there was a big Caterpillar bulldozer pushing dirt from land out into the Gulf, until the water was nearly 2 feet deep. It looked really strange, seeing a bulldozer driving around with nothing but water in the background. I laughed, thinking how happy the Cat dealer would be to see an expensive bulldozer driving around in a couple of feet of salt water.

    Such a scatter... I feel like it had to RUD at altitude... but they're saying it was not initiated by FTS. Really wish we had footage of the explosion. Seems like the only way to get this amount of destruction is to have mixing of the MeOH and O2 inside the ship and have that detonate. But how?

      Broken pipe inside a tank, maybe from backpressure from one of the engines? Video may have aided in showing where it first started.

    What type of fuel will starship use when landing on Mars? Not the same liquid oxygen and methane, correct?

    • @billsimpson604
      @billsimpson604 3 роки тому +1

      Nope. They will refuel 5 times in Earth orbit, then fire up the vacuum Raptors and head for Mars, only 9 months away! On arrival at Mars, they will use the Raptors to land, expending nearly all of the remaining fuel in that process. So now you are on Mars, but low on methane and oxygen. How to get back?
      Mars' very thin atmosphere is carbon dioxide, with polluted water in the frozen soil. They plan to break both of them apart, and use the carbon from the CO2, along with the hydrogen from the water, to make methane, CH4, for the trip home. The oxygen will come from the water molecules. They can breathe the oxygen, but I think pure oxygen eventually becomes toxic. And if a fire starts in an atmosphere of pure oxygen, you're toast quite quickly.
      If that sounds nearly impossible to actually do, on a planet where you can't survive a couple of seconds without being inside a space suit, you're right.
      The plan is to send machines to do the fuel processing before people go, so they won't be stuck there and die, in case the fuel production doesn't work.
      It is so complex, that I doubt it can ever be made to work at the scale needed to produce hundreds of tons of methane and liquid oxygen. And you have to store and pump it, after you've made it. Robots can't repair ANYTHING, so if anything needs fixing, everything shuts down. If Mars had some kind of substantial atmosphere, it might be possible. But with a near vacuum, no liquid water, only weak solar power for energy, and dangerous cold every night, it will probably never happen.
      But it will be fun to watch them try. And I could be wrong.
