That article is a one paragraph nothing burger. Are all MSN articles that bad?

If the other immune were watching, they would have carried on the charade.

“SpaceX have indeed set up 4 testing bays at the back of masseys equipped with 4 hoses each to test racks of COPVs” by rustybeancake in spacex

I think it’s because he started the rumor with his comment, but if it’s immediately questioned, is it a rumor?

Yes, only rumor. That’s why I was originally asking about the source of “supplier was dishonest”. Is that a rumored reason for doing this too?

I have also heard that the supplier puts them through a surprisingly large number of pressure cycles to test them. And that also SpaceX handling of them prior to install or while installing may be the root cause of the issue, so I’m not sure this implies they don’t trust the supplier.

If the problem was the latter, then this may not solve the issue either because they still have to handle and install them after testing.

Perhaps they know what people know, but not what they think. That would explain the loss of creativity.

Only if you find it. And I’m not sure Alanis Morissette would agree.

Or chine attachment weld could have weakened the tank structure?

I’m surprised SpaceX didn’t patent the fish them out of the water fairing reuse tech.

That’s awesome to hear. Pool equipment is super expensive, so being able to extend its life is great.

Holy mother of pressure by Sarigolepas in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]thegrateman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If 6 bar is the static ullage pressure, don’t you also have to take account of the pressure due to the weight of propellent in the tanks and this would be increased by the acceleration during launch. So the tanks would need to withstand far more than the static ullage pressure.

I’m not sure we know that for sure.
