<Mat2ch>
So, today or tomorrow we might see SN7.1 tank test.
<Althego>
explode!
<Mat2ch>
Yeeeeeeeeeeees!
<Azander>
?!?
<Althego>
at least it did the last time
<Mat2ch>
Hopefully it holds well, then we will see SN8 fly soon :D
<Mat2ch>
Azander: SpaceX is testing a new steel alloy for Starship and SN7.1 is a test tank that's going to be pressurized until it ruptures
<Azander>
Nice
<Mat2ch>
.oO( until it raptores... I show myself out ;)
<Azander>
Just woindering what the purpose of all of these tests are. That one makes good sense. Some of the others elude me.
<Mat2ch>
for example?
<Azander>
the 2 hop tests. 1st one I understand. the second seems redundant
<Althego>
yet the second went better
<Mat2ch>
It seems so, but they tried different controller settings and different landing legs
<Azander>
mhhhh
<Althego>
these tests are practice for the 20 km hop
<Azander>
I must not have a decent SpaceX feed then. Didn't know about the legs.
<Althego>
to me the legs looked the same
<Althego>
but there may have been a difference
<Azander>
It seems to me a lot of this testing could be done in simulation (probably has)
<Althego>
there are always unmodeled aspects
<Althego>
after a while you have to try it
<Althego>
unless they want to send simulated people to a simulated mars
<Azander>
what do they do with the parts after they are done evaluating them after the tests? Recycle them?
