New landing pad for #Starhopper at #SpaceX #BocaChica
Fathers Day off day at #SpaceX #BocaChica #Starship
Any update on the Starship presentation we’re all super excited for, I assume it won’t happen on June 20?
Might get pushed to next month. Starhopper flight first. Waiting on engine repair.
ICYMI: New delay of road/ beach closures in Boca Chica, TX until June 24-26 (2-8 pm) for SpaceX #Starhopper tests and expected hops 🔥🚀🌴
Raptor delivery tomorrow Wednesday 2-3pm?! New County road closure notice here - co.cameron.tx.us/public_service… #SpaceX #StarHopper #BocaChica
Did they close the road last time a raptor was delivered?
No, good point...
No raptor today, just some type of pressure testing or fueling shortly. Sitting at Hoppy w SpaceX security and BocaChicaGal, will update if anything starts to steam
Ok almost showtime, road blocked and all vehicles just left pad
Road finally closed at 3:50
Here's some condensed footage of yesterday's #StarHopper testing at the #SpaceX #BocaChica launch site 🚀
Can anyone do an ELI5 explanation on what an "oxygen turbine stator" is in the context of a FFSC rocket engine? I have seen diagrams of Raptor and understand the concept but I have not seen the "stator" terminology before.https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1143019549492744203Thank you for any insight.
