Too many acronyms. My feeble brain is getting a headache.
Seemed normal at NG.
By the time NASA puts this thing to work, Musk will be launching Falcons from Mars.
😂🤔😲. We actually had a paperback sized book of acronyms when I worked at KSC . Wish I had saved my copy.
— NASA
“Stop showing that! Just stop it!
— NASA”
ROFL!
I’m still in awe over it and can sit here and watch it loop quite a few times. I can only imagine old NASA/Boeing/Northrop people watching that for the first time. Musk has another launch coming up to put 40+ Starlink sats up at which time it will be global coverage(where allowed).
By the time NASA puts this thing to work, Musk’s grandchildren will be launching Falcons from Mars.
Fixed.
Look at the video. That huge burn goes on for a long time.
Can’t figure out why the tube, at least the part toward the rear, doesn’t get red hot.
Maybe the solid fuel is pushed to the rear as it burns so the burning part is always near the nozzle.
LOL! How true!!
Nobody but nobody can acronym like two lifer military guys talking. If they didn’t acronym the conversation would go on for two weeks.
Ummm... you do know those are *liquid fueled*, right?
“Ummm... you do know those are *liquid fueled*, right?”
Reconcile that with the article’s title:
“The BOLE booster will also have a denser solid propellant mix”
And in the article:
“Northrop Grumman to conduct FSB-2 SLS solid rocket booster test”
Yes, but the Falcon rockets you referred to in that post and in the pic above are liquid fueled. Also not a NASA project.
