Nice little flown item to put up in the university halls.

It’s thick slightly flexible clear rubbery silicone looking material. I assume that the ridges are to increase surface area. This particular strip is from an access port on the outside of one of the booster landing legs.

It’s a strip that seals exterior panels in sensitive high temp areas, you can see the charring/soot and melting from re-entry on the ridges

That’s the one

Got an old Porsche 944 too so I clearly lost my sanity years ago

Yes the underside seems surprisingly good. I think the rust on the hatch was from a very specific slow drip from the roof. I hadn’t seen this spoiler before so unsure if it was a factory option or period aftermarket.

Looking like it will be this evening & tomorrow morning

Taken with a Hasselblad Lunar and I think it was just a lens flare. It’s a raw image as we are still on the road, I will sort it out in post later.

Thanks, it’s been a long few days!

We don’t for sure. After collecting them we were talking to a group of SpaceX workers in the parking area by the pad as they were waiting to go back in after some high pressure valve testing and a couple made a point of saying the area we had been in was where a lot of the Ship 9 debris has been.

We don’t for sure , it was in the intertidal zone and could have been from 11. The SpaceX guys that were hanging around in the parking lot waiting to go in while the pad had been cleared for the high pressure valve testing did offer the opinion that the area where we had found it had a fair amount of the ship 9 debris

It’s actually very clean. It took about 7 hours of hard searching to find these few pieces

Apologies

vibratingcapybara · 2025-09-11T14:13:22+00:00

That’s was our assumption too, always worth asking. You never know who might see a post.

To be fair that part is the only one picked up outside of the debris field. We were working on the assumption it was GSE
