    You're wrong about the tower. My brother is an operations manager with Archer, a drilling company. They provided the drawworks for the first tower and he sent me this message recently.
    "Mark Robertson has another Purchase Order from spacex to extend launch pad tower by an additional 400ft so away to design sheaves/drill line/engineer drawworks to take all the additional drill line for the extended tower."
    Looks like tower 2 (3?) is to be extended for next gen Starship. Tower 2 (3?) will be taller.

    • @Ralphie419
      @Ralphie419 Před 2 měsíci

      I thought they'd make the tower taller too. But making the QD arm adjustable in height would be a true cryogenic engineering challenge. Accordian-fold fuel piping? no. Telescoping insulated piping that doesn't leak regardless of temperature changes? probably not. A huge elbow along the exterior of the tower with rotary joints? maybe. Spacex could probably figure it out, but hopefully, there won't be frequent changes in the booster height.

    Hey, Felix! Your friendly, neighbourhood Cznadian proof reader here. First off, Gemini 6A and Gemini 7 did NOT dock with each other during the two spacecraft mission. They did rendezvous, but did not come into contact with each other. I'll gently slap your writer's wrists for that one. Your brief obit and memorial for General Stafford was very touching. Thjere was quite the shift in mood between Apollo 8, which many people think was the true hero of the Apollo Propgramme, and Apollo 10, which also went to the moon, and was a far more complex flcight plan than 8. '69 was a VERY good ytear for crewed spaceflight, and I feel priveledged, and ancient, for being old enough (9 years) to remember Apollo 10 in May '69, Since Apollo 8 had 'already done it', Apollo 10 felt like a 'routine' mission- until it came time for the LM Snoopy at 50,000 feet above the lunar surface had a weee glitch when the ascent stage seperated from the decent stage. Cernan gets the blame for hitting the same switch twice, but it was Staffoird at the LM controls who rescuedan out of control LM to make it back to JHohm Young in Charlie Brown. Until Apollo 13 the next year, this was about as scary a near-miss as Apollo ever had. There just aren\t that may Apollo astros still around. Thank God Charlie Duke was the youngest Apollo astros, and is still talking about it. You should interview him if you get a chance. Thanks again for your great programme.

      You're a good proof reader and fact checker! But it's amusing that your own text could use some proof reading. I have fat fingers too.☺

    I wonder if the OLM-2 will have any design changes with the first one being troublesome

    Thank You - YOU ROCK. The Launch Site, MUST BE ABLE to withstand launches WITHOUT having to do regular rework at every launch. The components MUST BE OVERDESIGNED /over engineered to be very robust. Just my thoughts.

    Still have the problem of losing tiles, wont be an easy fix.

    The only thing that would slow down the next launch is determining the problems with IFT-3 and applying fixes. The GSE seems to be in very good shape after IFT-3 launch needing minimal repairs and possible small upgrades to guard against the same damage happening again. The next ship and booster are pretty much ready to go and assuming there are no major changes required after completing analysis of IFT-3, 6 weeks sounds perfectly reasonable.

    So I have been thinking that SpaceX should use their heat tiles they use on the ship and place them on the quick release. They could actually attach them to the sides of the quick release and the cladding they put the steel pieces on the launch stand at ground zero. So many uses for the heat tiles at ground zero!

      Yet i fear the heat tiles will pose a huge challenge. Im thinking they will test other means of heat protection.

    • @Ralphie419
      @Ralphie419 Před 2 měsíci

      The heat tiles on the ship experience very different forces than what you are suggesting. They do get vibrated during liftoff and experience strong, but smooth, airflow up through max Q, and then on re-entry there is compression of air ahead of them and great heat from the resulting plasma, which they are designed to take -- but any tiles on the launch pad would undergo extreme buffeting by the chaotic exhaust of the 33 raptors. They could stand the heat, but would get torn off by the turbulent "blow torch." Remember the huge pieces of concrete and the vast quantity of sand lofted by that blowtorch at less than full power!
