>thanks to the anon who noticed my goof btw

I hope it hops high enough to see the purple of raptor over the yellow of burning concrete

HOP SOON?

>>10831901
Indeed. By the way, 10AM EST tomorrow is the CRS-18 press conference. Always fun to see Hans talk.

Let's hope this goes off without a hitch.

Keep in mind that we're only assuming tomorrow based off of Elon's earlier tweet. The hop could easily happen Thursday.

GIVE US A PROPER TIME ELON YOU CUNT

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>10832096
>he hasn't set aside all six hours of the window to sit around and wait
I bet you have a job too

>>10832107
I'm actually semi-neet atm, it's just frustrating.

>>10831906
A non destructive hitch would be fun.
You don’t learn from things going exactly as planned

>>10832300
Any kind of hitch that doesn't end up with the thing in a huge fireball is likely going to be so small we won't notice it.

>>10832306
I wonder, will it actually be that damaged if it falls over?

>>10831894
Where did you get the dates for the hopper? Was there an announcement?

>>10832675
Elon’s tweet and the road closure times

>>10832828
sounds like they're not launching today on account of the lightning, don't want another Apollo 12

>>10832918
Yeah, as pointed out today was a shit poor one for weather.

>>10832962
good thing Texas doesn't have that issue, on account of being a bajillion tons of flying steel trashcan

>>10832982
What a fine trashcan it is

>>10832992
if SpaceX is serious about their commitment to weather-indifference with Starship I'm greatly looking forward to seeing the sorts of bullshit interactions they'll get as they ascend through clouds.

>>10832992
You belong in that garbage can.

Tim Dodd stuck around Texas for the hop, and will probably have the best livestream of the event, unless SpaceX do something official with an onboard camera or something
https://youtu.be/Rfb0cd17IAY

>>10832992
It's no trashcan, the Midwest has simply found a way to safely harness the awesome power of grain explosions.

>>10833264
>>10832992
They should fuel this thing with bioethanol

>>10833279
ethanol is a bad choice for rocket fuel due to the difficulty of making it anhydrous and because it has poor ISP, both due to the heavy oxygen atom and because it has less energy than straight carbon-hydrogen bonds

Upvote if you think it's gonna crash/explode.

POP!

Do people actually believe some tiny private company can surpass the worlds most powerful governments in one of the hardest fields known to humanity, aka spaceflight?

Explain your insanity.

>>10833387
I'm looking with my eyeballs and it appears to be happening

>>10833387
>believing gummint can get anything useful done without a direct competition like Teh Russkies in the 60s moon race
Explain YOUR insanity.

>>10833387
Government is inefficient to the point of absurdity. A smaller private sector investment will always beat a larger government contract.

>>10833387
It appears to already be going on, but okay.

>>10833387
No. But they don't have to and aren't. They are based in said country partially funded by said government.

>>10833390
>Nightmare_Vision_Goggles_varient.meme

>>10833387
Governments would be comedic if they weren't so pathetic, there's practically nothing that they've ever done that private entities wouldn't have been able to do better, cheaper, and faster. They exist only because establishing a government is the most well tested and speedy way to set up a society which functions without immediately falling apart.

>>10833387
Government
>"Our prime reusable vehicle has a terrible flaw in it!"
>"Eh, don't fix it. Doing so could interrupt funding."
>becomes the most expensive launch vehicle in history
>kills 14 people

Private
>"Our prime reusable vehicle has a terrible flaw in it!"
>"Eh, we'll fix it in the next iteration."
>Becomes the cheapest launch vehicle in history
>Higher success rate than Shuttle

>>10833387
Elon is a known fraud. This is fake rocket. They are just sending duds and faking videos to their customers. Can't wait until blue origin flies and exposes all of Elon's fake launches.

>>10833517
I love this conspiracy theory, because it implies that NASA is too stupid to realize when one of its payloads doesn't make it to space.

>>10833522
Nasa is in on it. Along with the Russians and every other government. Don't you see? Space doesn't exist. The sky is made of water. Stars are just the lights on the earth reflecting back at us. The sun is just a big angler fish.
Rain is just the angler fish splashing around too much.
Why else did you think air planes needed pressurized cabins? To withstand the water pressure of course!
And what is all this water pressure ultimately for? Why to keep the air on earth. Behind the sky ocean lies only one giant S-bend and then the dominion of death.

>>10833538
I'll call this the "cosmic toilet conspiracy" theory

>>10833538
7/10 Made me blow air out of my nose, and smiled.

Fuelin, flarin, road closin... hoppin?

jesus christ I hate the labpadre guy so fucking much
at least this guy he's got here doing the voice over is high quality

When the rocket stands before us like a tower of glass and steel
Then no words in any language can express the way we feel
Mingled joy and hope and terror as we're starting on our way
And we suddenly consider that it just might help to pray.

So we pray to great green Mother Earth and the grim old god of Space,
And the gods of flame and metal whom we've summoned to this place.
Oh you gods of flight and physics, now you have us in your care;
We hope that you will listen to a rocket rider's prayer.

How high will it go do you think? The plan is 20 meters, but I'd imagine if something goes wrong it'll shut down early.

>>10833630

WE HAVE STREAM

>>10833626
rocket launches are a religious experience

>>10833639
Don't forget to have the NASA TV and SpaceX streams both open. NASA usually has cool telephoto lenses

WE STICKY NOW

https://youtu.be/2Wa3EDUuP5I

I thought this was 70% scrapped? Did we really hit the 30%?

>>10833647

>>10833630
How high is hopper again? Isn't that basically just its own height or something?

>>10833649
there's enough of a chance that the launch is still on, they probably won't call it until after it's fueled if it gets scrubbed

>>10833654
yeah I'm a dumb American and forgot that 20m is like 65ft. It'll barely clear it's own height

>>10833647
So, no hop?

>>10833660
hop is later tonight, probably

>>10833656
remember that one launch when the stream (post-music) lasted all of ten seconds? They got the scrub call right as it started.
Weather a shit sometimes

>>10833660

>Starship tiles being tested on F9
WHAT
COOL

did they just confirm that they're testing ceramic reentry tiles for Starship?
Ceramic is new info

>>10833764
Fuck it we'll do it live.

>>10833765
CERAMIC, which is new info
Elon has been adamant on them being stainless before this

>>10833767
I believe we already knew they were ceramic. Elon did post the heat test video a while ago with the hexagons

first flight of pieces of starship, very nice.

>>10833770
It was confirmed earlier than tiles will be used for light heating loads where they aren't expected to ablate or degrade, while peak heating will be handled by direct methane cooling.

Nickelodeon Gak payload confirmed

>>10833771
>>10833775
no, he's been absolutely adamant that all the tiles on Starship will be made from Stainless Steel, but everybody predicted that they'd move to ceramics eventually

>>10833778
I'm sure the astronauts are groaning, they'll be cleaning that green shit out of their ducts for years.

>>10833879
ohhhhh shit
I know Elon said there'd be a stream, but then he said something like "I'm sure someone else will stream it unofficially from their potato" so I figured no official streams

why would any government care about developing space exploration when they can just let the private sector pave the way up until it becomes profitable and they can just regulate the market?

You used to have to click blindly, so a link you thought was one thing would actually be Rick Astley. Same idea with the less-popular Duckroll, where a cross-thread link would bring you to an image of a duck instead of the porn or whatever you had expected.
Also, good english but 'remembers' is the wrong word, 'reminds' fits/sounds better for what you were saying. I'm always impressed by bi-lingual anons here, all I ever learned were a few words in Spanish and French.

>You used to have to click blindly, so a link you thought was one thing would actually be Rick Astley.

the secret to why so many people are bilingual in english is that you don't even have to be fucking close to correct to get your intended meaning across

like "remembers me of" is nonsense but we all knew what esl-chan meant anyways because english is such a fucking lazy language

chinese can change the entire meaning of a sentence with just intonation, english calls "WHERE SHIT I NEED SHIT" good enough for a chinaman asking for a washroom

>>10834133
Not yet, still haven't found good pressure regulators that attach to 1/8NPT and can drop to 200 psi.

>>10834001
Of course it can launch in IMC, Soyuz was originally an ICBM. What's the point of having nuclear deterrent if it can't launch in bad weather?

>>10834137
let's be honest here, "where shit I need shit" works for literally anything

>>10834132
At the peak of the meme there were websites that used javascript exploits to spawn multiple moving windows that refused to close, all of them playing the rick roll video, and you basically had to kill the process to stop it

There were even fucking rickroll blocker extensions at one point, it was wild

>>10834137
English isn't first language, but this post is a fucking.

>>10834121
Learning a language you've never spoken sounds incredibly difficult, I doubt I'd be up for that sort of challenge. I took an half-year of Spanish and all I remember is how to ask for the bathroom, or the library.

Glad to have helped, friend. I wish I'd been able to pick up Spanish as easily as you learned English, if only to have another language to swear at people in.

The complicated part is Kanji which is the ripped of Chinese characters they use, the two basic scripts, hiragana and katakana are very simple and the same with the language, very structured and ordered with straightforward rules that just work.

OH SHIT IT'S HAPPENING

wtf is a test 'hop'

OH NO NONONONO

LEL

That can't be good.

SPACEX IS FINISHED

GAME OVER

BRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

premature shutdown?

NO

Blowing up!!!!!

ABORTED

AHAHAHAHAHA

lmao at elon

OH NO NO NO NO NO

Yikes! This is apparently the vehicle they should call "Dragon" because it keeps breathing fire!!!

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? WHAT A FUCKING TEASE

FUCK

VERY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHY

ROCKET WAS SHOT BY A SNIPER TO BURST THE TANK

HOP BLOCKED

F

that was a much cleaner ending than the last time they fired raptor
positive test imo, but I wanted to see it hop

It's over.

>Price is right

Well, at least it didn't explode.

ULA SNIPER GETTING A FAT BONUS TONIGHT BOI

HOP NEVER

that's a big sun

That fail sound track.

mods are ULA shills confirmed

>>10834359
this, that fire looked much more intentional than the last one

maybe they can try again right away?

ELON BTFO.

JEFF BEZOS WON

FOR YOU

TWO FAILURES IN ONE DAY

HOW WILL ELON EVER RECOVER?

CRS wasn't a failure though just a weather delay

>>10834372
Me too bro, waiting so long for this shit.

looks like they stalled it, dropped the clutch too fast

>>10834362

Is hopper taking a piss

Venting methane for safety?

>>10834375

stream's not ending so is there still a chance?

still plenty of time left in the window.

>>10834388
Their recycling apparently

>>10834386
>vent liquid methane onto a pad that was very recently on fire
Balls of steel desu

Is it normal for engineers to not know if a project is going to work up until it's test? Coming from software, there can be a few bugs here and there but by the time of shipping a new tool we have a pretty good idea that it at least works.

>>10834388
Looks like they are venting methane or oxygen so seems unlikely

>>10834391
Well they need the tank to be empty so people can see what went wrong.

IT'S DYING

>>10834392
Literally every time.

>>10834386
>Hold on guys I need to take a piss real quick then I can do the hop

>>10834392
Its not a work of 1 engineer, but thousands. A single misstep can stop a project from working.

TEST TEAM IS ASSESSING NEXT ATTEMPT OPPORTUNITY, SAYS STREAM

>assessing next text opportunity
WE'RE STILL IN IT LADS

>>10834392
How often do your codes compile on the first try?

>team is assessing next test attempt opportunity

>test aborted

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK

It's over

CONCLUDED

THEY ARE CLOSING THE STREAM

>>10834392
>Is it normal for engineers to not know if a project is going to work up until it's test?
Isn't that what tests are for in the first place?

THE SUN SETS ON SPACEX FOR THE FINAL TIME

GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE

rip

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What is the purpose of this thing?

xqc said 'they forgot to change the processor from AMD to Intel' when he saw the fire

Jef Bezos laughing his ass off atm

>next test opportunity
Probably not today, or this week unless it's something retarded like forgetting the hopper is bolted to the platform.

>>10834406

Almost never. But don't engineers get to test the modules of the ship separately before assembling it ?

>team is assessing next test attempt opportunity
THERE'S STILL A CHANCE THAT SHE CAN FLY
>test aborted

>>10834420
Its called testing.

>burps fire four times from the top after engine shutdown

someone should tell them that the flame is supposed to come out the bottom.

I just wanted to see it hop.

>>10834423
It could easily be tomorrow. 2nd CRS-18 attempt tomorrow as well.
Hey, at least we know that SpaceX has their shit together in terms of a good drone view and HD stream for the hops.

I wonder if there was ever a chance that they recycled the test. You'd think after an abort, they'd want to figure out what went wrong first, so they should've known right after the abort that testing was done.

This will conclude our sticky for the day. Stay tuned :^).

>>10834431
NO HOP FOR YOU

>>10834435

>>10834427
Testing the "Starhopper", so what the hell is a starhopper?

Can SpaceX do anything?

>>10834434
Doesn't it take them like a day to just prepare the hop? I imagine they would want to investigate what happened before trying again.

>>10834433
It's almost sundown, I don't think they want to do the test in the dark.
>>10834443
At least it was spoilered ;_; ... wait, wtf
