There's at least one launch every week now from SpaceX and these fuckers managed to make a live stream every time, 2 hours before the damn thing lights, and STILL manage to discuss how the F9 is fueled, what it is, why propulsive landing is important, etc. Oh and shill for money.

Holy shit. I assume the first booster that gets to 10 successful launches will be taken apart and inspected for any wear and tear not previously noticed

rip. any idea on when they'll try again?

>> No.12375647

>>12375633
Fuck knows. Seeing as they called hold before they started fueling, they probably got some weird ass readings from the vehicle. It wasn't weather, they fuel that shit up and wait until the last second for weather.
So I doubt they're going to pull it up tomorrow.

I might be wrong though.

Vehicle was voonting even before any propellant load.

the fuck is going on here? Accidental propellant load? The only other gas in there now is helium in the COPVs, right? Or do they keep some nitrogen in the main tanks?

Probably purging strongback with nitrogen.

oddly enough it's the same link as the OP one. Youtube magic I guess.

>SpaceX is targeting Monday, November 23 for launch of its sixteenth Starlink mission, which will launch 60 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The instantaneous launch window is at 9:34 p.m. EST, or 02:34 UTC on Tuesday, November 24. A backup launch opportunity is available on Tuesday, November 24 at 9:13 p.m. EST, or 2:13 UTC on Wednesday, November 25.

>>12378923
It's the same link because SpaceX hasn't "burned" it yet. If they don't use it, they can bump it forward. A couple of months ago there was one that kept getting bumped forward for two weeks.

I suppose they would want to get the old girl back in one piece. That booster is probably the most fruitful source of rocket flight stress data ever.
