Talked to one of the crews that worked it- had just left at 230p after being there all day. Said it was about 2/3 burned. But also said [b]there was a call at the same house last week-[/b] one of the bedrooms (I think) had a fire. There was a mom and daughter renting it, mom was gone for the ...

[quote]They have three children: Alexander Hugh George Cholmondeley, Earl of Rocksavage (born 12 October 2009)[9]... I don't care what they're chasing, that name's badass.[/quote] Oh, Agreed- I was more interested in the timing of the first. 3.50 months post-elope. 1st is a shoe in a...

[quote]People also used to eat hogs-head cheese, which was pig brain. All brain related food products are illegal now.[/quote] I ate pig brain once at one of the many pig roasts we used to do, usually with head-on pigs- for the cheeks and ears. Decades later and it's still got to be the most d...

Can't Landry basically sign off on the election once he's in and moot all of this? Or are we past that point with what the courts have ruled? ...

[quote]How do they know there are only 50 left? The gulf is a pretty place.[/quote] Because it's by design, an invented endangered species. [quote]Rice's whale ( Balaenoptera ricei ), also known as the Gulf of Mexico whale, is a species of baleen whale endemic to the northern Gulf of Mexico. [...

[quote] I think anyone in that building would call it getting off launch and past the tower a massive success [/quote] Agreed- I meant to use 'failure' in the technical sense of 'did not separate', not as a subjuctive degree of the test's success. :cheers:...

[quote]The roll sequence was supposed to sort of "fling" starship apart from B7.[/quote] That makes more sense. It also means "letting it ride" probably did return a good bit of additional/ useful stress/strain readings. If it needed to torque a certain way to initiate separation, that brings...

[quote]Something positive about the failure to separate: It's amazing that the first and second stages held together through a number of rotations. You've got to figure the forces pulling at them were incredible.[/quote] Maybe- one way to look at engineering is the successful prediction of fai...

[quote]there was a side by side view of the second stage engines and I thought I saw what I think were the explosive bolts firing but no release. I'm probably projecting of what I was expecting to see, but there was some type of commotion in that 2nd stage engine area. Could have been nothing though...

[quote]That was not supposed to look like that today. It's supposed to happen on the reentry of starship to help slow it down. [/quote] That might be the biggest concern. Idk what the failure mode for non-seperation is supposed to be, but I doubt the booster is supposed to try to do it's r...
