What if he threw out "42"? I think it very might well cause actual seizures...
Quote from: envy887 on 05/17/2017 01:29 pmI5F4 also accelerated through transonic much more aggressively than SES-10, which is interesting.From the comparison graph, I5F4 flew a more lofted trajectory, so maybe transonic happened at higher altitude, lower dynamic pressure? I would assume that the reason for SES-10's flatter trajectory is to reduce re-entry heating as it was flying to ASDS not taking a one-way trip like I5F4.

The maximum flow rate of the turbopumps is measured in terms of volume of propellant, not mass, right? The same volume of denser, colder propellant flowing through the pumps would mean more propellant mass which would by definition mean more thrust, right?
