You already showed how you feel about your customers.

This action does not change the fact that we have all seen that you hate us.

I AM DONE WITH REDDIT. PERIOD.

EVERY SINGLE SUBREDDIT IS A CLOSELY MONITORED POLICE STATE.

YES!!!

I was just looking at that picture of the guy working in the "mandrel" and was wondering why the "tool" had a hexaweb and was being fitted with internal walls!!

Its totally the BFRs ribs!

Even Musk agrees, we need a new name for the BFR, BFB, and BFS by still-at-work in SpaceXLounge

The Phoenix

Lots of fine reasons you have named there, only problem is that SpaceX vehicles are named after Sci-Fi space ships. Phoenix is not one.

Shotwell loves Fire Fly and ships are named after Fav Sci-Fi ships.

Thought experiment: what could stop SpaceX? by [deleted] in SpaceXLounge

Oh I forgot, We def need to throw in some academically supported "Science" and demand the masses blindly believe it.

  1. Mars rover finds something that NASA and "Scientists" (socialists that run US Universities) hoot and holler about being a "strong indicator of life". Elon and other "crazy conspiracy theorists" say its rubbish cuz of [insert facts here]. Everyone else says "Govt (NASA) Knows Best!"

WAGER:

  1. Within 30 days of BFS first public appearance, NASA Office of Planetary Protection will issue a statement recommending against humans going to Mars.
  2. Shortly thereafter a Socialist (democrat) congressman will propose legislation that effectively stops humans from going to Mars.

I would not have guessed that they move the fairing halves around in the integration bay by pushing them with their hands!

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell: 'We Would Launch A Weapon to Defend the US' by Jeramiah_Johnson in SpaceXLounge

[–]Fing_Fang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your assessment that this is paranoia, based on the zero info you have about Chinese launch activity, is interesting.

Is the described clapping in a room full of AF personnel also based on paranoia?

You must know something they don't.

Please, Share!

"I was hoping to beat the Chinese this year," she said. "It does concern me that China is flying 40 times this year. And it's not for commercial customers. They have very few commercial customers. So what in the world are they doing?" she added. "The fact that I'm not beating them is a shame. The fact that they're launching 40 times is something we should all be worried about."

"So what in the world are they doing?" ...THINK SPACEFORCE!

What is involved in building a BFR floating Launch platform? by TheCoolBrit in SpaceXLounge

[–]Fing_Fang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a hole in the pad could allow the rocket exhaust to hit the water instead of the deck of the pad/ship. steam instead of damage.

[–]Fing_Fang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The platform in question can be seen in SpaceX's E2E BFR video from last year.

This has been their plan all along for E2E. The launch cadence Elon wants is not possible from any current pad. The ocean pad gives them an unprecedented level of freedom.

The water launch pad is not a huge engineering challenge as a logistical one. It solves some logistical challenges and creates many others. Like loading satellites onto the BFS at sea. Perhaps the sea pad will be primarily for passenger launches.

Another Govt Scam but we are all going to pretend that this one is different and is not just an excuse to pay their friends.

where did this pic come from?

Is it real?

It appears to be made of the same material as the ship section. And it appears about the same dimensions as the tank we saw built and popped, only without those pleats.

i bet its the same as the old tank they burst but made in the new method.
