    • @anthonylosego
      @anthonylosego 2 месяца назад +2

      The mechazilla is on the ship because SpaceX looks at the ship as booster and ship. Not just ship. So it's on the top of the complete rocket. It's one thing to them. If ship was full orbital on IFT-5 I might guess they might attempt a ship catch as well. But it is not. So that's my best explanation.

    Using the serial numbers to confirm that the recently spotted Raptors are still Raptor 2 and not Raptor 3? Given how on top of everything Starship-related you NSF folks are I'm thinking that was some very dry and deadpan humour from Jack because based on the photos we've seen so far of Raptor 3 you certainly don't need to check serial numbers to spot the difference!
    I am so looking forward to the first Raptor 3 being spotted at Starbase. That design looks so amazing.

      @julianfp1952 I doubt all v2 Raptors are built to an identical design. So I assumed they just meant they don't expect there's much difference between today's batch and recent batches - even within the constrained scope of the Raptor 2 family.

    Super curious about the coating applied to Starbase towers. My hunch is they use a thermal spray metallizing process to coat the steel with zinc. By far the most robust and effective anti-corrosion treatment for marine environments.

    I feel like Iaunch date of IFT5 will be similar to IFT2. Just like back then there is so much work that is needed before it launches. There is still pad work to do be and also work on the catch arms, then they also still have to do a WDR and let's not forget that the FAA is also willing to take there time. Maybe we won't have to wait until mid-November, but a September launch seems unlikely.

      They are no where close to trying that. The last flight had the ship several miles/km off course for the landing. Not a risk there as it was over the exclusion zone. But far, far too risky nearby populated areas and Starbase. Maybe they will attempt it sometime late next year.
