Case in point

Just in case it was not clear, the The FAA ✈️ has confirmed to me that ground testing is not a licensed activity with the FAA, that demands any sort of mishap investigation. This will be a purely SpaceX conducted investigation.

Everyday Astronaut Preliminary data suggests that a nitrogen COPV in the payload bay failed below its proof pressure. If further investigation confirms that this is what happened, it is the first time ever for this design.

Lmao all of this bitching and complaining about V2 being “flawed” and turns out the issue was just a COPV being retarded. When shit like this happens y’all really need to stop falling for confirmation bias.

Since F-35 deliveries restarted 11 months ago, Lockheed has delivered 200+ TR-3 equipped F-35s to US services and international operators. While awaiting a single remaining capability to be validated by USG, LM believes to have finished the TR-3 upgrade. (1/6) 🧵

Been trying to find the post all morning, but wasn't there someone at Starbase just a few weeks ago complaining specifically about COPVs being mishandled by untrained workers?

Why I don’t doomer: Starship is more of a “when” not an “if”. That was proven with V1. There are really only 2 items I can think of that can prevent Starship from highly successful existence. Heatshield reuse, and Elon. COPV’s, resonance etc are not concerns.

This dumbass still thinks common domes are bad for some reason. The failure wasn't even remotely near the common dome either lol.

Yeah they need management gutting and rehiring. And most of the staff it sounds like need the same

Starbase City officials are tracking and are actively supporting the response at the Starship's testing site, alongside Cameron County, our other local and regional partners, and SpaceX. There are no hazards to residents in the area. We will continue to provide updates.

Odesa. Downtown. Several locations hit by Shahid drones. Monsters. Murderers. Destroying history, love, beauty.

IGW’s exclusive first look at an annihilated flame trench post RUD of Starship S36 in Starbase, Texas. We will stream and release unseen views of the Massey’s test site from ABOVE the Mexican border at 2PM ET/1PM CT and NEVER BEFORE SEEN Ship hardware. You can’t miss this.

We must not grieve the failures but embrace the challenges, never forget our roots. our resilience will protect us, our intelligence will propel us. Per Aspera Ad Astra
