elon and his elon time. booster hop in october? no way
<Althego>
even if they can do it in december it will be extremely fast

any idea how long it took the to build at least one Apollo rocket? I'd rather they took their time, but I guess, time is money?
<Althego>
actually they already built bodies and tanks from the same material with the same diameter
<Althego>
it can be so that the number of raptors available is the limiting factor
<Althego>
although supposedly two are enough for a hop
<Althego>
in the apollo era they had to develop everything from scratch
<Althego>
for example computers
<Althego>
new materials
<Althego>
etc
<JVFoxy>
well... different era, ya. Still gotta get over a number of hurdles. Apollo hadn't even considered booster returns. Well other than a design that dropped 4 engines off by parachute in a later design idea on paper.

uh, First Saturn I launch was, uh, 2 years after the design was selected?
<raptop>
Later Saturns were studied longer, but with the final design selected circa 62-63. And first launch in 67
<Althego>
the booster design is still changing
<Althego>
at least elon tweeted that unlike earlier graphics, there will be only 4 legs but bigger
<umaxtu>
something about plume impingement?
<Althego>
yesthat
<JVFoxy>

Am I right that Pre-cooler > Nacelle for spaceplanes?
<FLHerne>
The stats aren't really very helpful
<raptop>
For stock hypersonic-ish flight? I'd lean towards the adjustable ramp intake or the shock cone. I want to say that there's some stuff hidden in the part file about high speed performance

It's a fairly small Whiplash + NERV SSTO (2 of each)
<FLHerne>
It sort of works, but I have difficulty getting to orbit without enormous gravity losses
<FLHerne>
I guess shock cones would let the Whiplashes keep working a bit higher, but the extra drag would hurt
