Relativity Space Terran-1 1st flight: Good Luck, Have Fun

[rancid tinsel]

a few months ago we got a tour around Southwest HQ and we have had like one of their high ranking captains come give a talk at my school

we got to sit in the sims and stuff

the only reason we couldn’t use them was we had to be back at the school by 2:15 so the bus could run its routes

[charred oriole]

😭😭😭that’s so amazing

[tender oasis]

Uhhh I'm not sure but I think they still have them

[charred oriole]

Ah I see

[craggy grotto]

ITS TAKING SO LONG

Launch!!!

[rancid tinsel]

[frosty crest]

Weather is nice on the ground, at least.

[charred oriole]

Props to that teacher fr

[long oak]

Looks awesome!

[tender oasis]

@rancid tinsel If at some point you want to visit Europe by train, don't forget to buy an Interrail pass, it's really cheap for what it offers

[charred oriole]

That’s a loooot of monitors

[craggy grotto]

They have like 4 computers

[tender oasis]

And the vent is being blown

[charred oriole]

Doesn’t seem as windy as the last attempt so that’s nice

[cloud remnant]

Hold

[craggy grotto]

@dense spindle hold due to wind violation

[pulsar ermine]

@dense spindle hold at t-20

[dense spindle]

dsghdfg thanks

[long oak]

This aged poorly really quickly

[charred oriole]

Wow

[frosty crest]

[sullen geyser]

on the subject of nazis

a football pundit (the bbc's top paid staffer) made some remarks about UK immigration policy (compared to nazi germany) and has sparked a bunch of shit for the entire corporation

[long oak]

Is he wrong tho

[pulsar ermine]

gary lineker

he is right

[sullen geyser]

indeed

[pulsar ermine]

anyway, no politics

[sullen geyser]

yes politics but not in here

[pulsar ermine]

[charred oriole]

100%

[proud robin]

Relativity does physical GNGs, HYPEEE

Idk why but I love them so much

[charred oriole]

F35 is cool (especially the b variant) but the f22 just looks sooo good

Looks like a futuristic f15

And it kind of is so there’s that lol

LETS GOOO

[tender oasis]

A little, pétard mouillé as we sa

[pulsar ermine]

raptor abort

[tender oasis]

yeah no

[dim jetty]

[rancid tinsel]

right at 0

[long oak]

Well, scrub for today I assume

[quartz lark]

Hmm all 7 engines look pretty clean ignition

[charred oriole]

Yeah

[rancid tinsel]

would’ve guessed it would be a engine startup abort

[dim jetty]

can't believe we'll see the same shit w/ Starship
literally shit tone of holds and egnitions

[charred oriole]

They did!

[rancid tinsel]

probably some temperature thing

[meager echo]

They were running for way to long I thought it was good

[tender oasis]

well

[proud robin]

All 9

[charred oriole]

Also awesome engine live cam

[tender oasis]

at least the engines sounded so fucking great

[rancid tinsel]

this thing is gonna be beautiful

it looked like it had went to me

then i realized the engines were off

[pulsar ermine]

recycle pls

[pulsar ermine]

duality of mankind

[long oak]

Doubt

[past geyser]

possible recycle

[meager echo]

It could do that ig

[dim jetty]

now abort it at Max-Q

[autumn latch]

They won’t recycle even if they can imo

[gleaming pecan]

possible recycyle

just in a day or two

[autumn latch]

Us Europeans may get a chance to see it then!

[long oak]

See, it's still possible to abort easily in the US

[zenith gulch]

recycle today is possible

[molten shadow]

certified sn10 moment

[charred oriole]

Hopefully

[tender oasis]

[quartz lark]

I dunno
F9 infamously had post-ignition abort 75 minutes before getting airborne on 1st launch

[molten shadow]

hopefully with less explosions though

[rancid tinsel]

i disagree, limited tanking cycles likely remain + prop conditioning is a pita

[proud robin]

Vent

[pulsar ermine]

depress?

[meager echo]

I am

[unreal mango]

depress vent lel?

[autumn latch]

I just don’t think they’ll wanna risk the rocket

[charred oriole]

Hmmm

[serene niche]

AMOS-6 moment

[proud robin]

LCC violation at T-0.5 sec

[quartz lark]

0.5 s
That’s that close

[pulsar ermine]

what was red

[unreal mango]

ngl I was pretty much expecting as much for a first ignition for launch attempt

[long oak]

Wait until an engineer shows up and says "Guys I did the maths again ! Our TWR is 0.65 !"

[meager echo]

The boat again

[rancid tinsel]

eh, i think this vehicle has been tested to hell and back and is nearing the end of its life so they want to get as much data from it as possible. They aren’t flying a customer on board so honestly i wouldn’t be shocked if they were more willing to say fuck it

[tender oasis]

[rancid tinsel]

they had TWR calc set to vacuum 😔✊

[molten shadow]

they forgot to throttle up

[unreal mango]

im not sure they want a funny like RUD on/near the pad

[long oak]

"So about the rocket uuh.. we used the wrong Excel sheet..."

[rancid tinsel]

well yeah they’re not going to be reckless, but yeah

they’re not going to fly it if they see any obvious failures waiting to happen

[rancid tinsel]

lmao

[past geyser]

clock is at -45min

ugh

[rancid tinsel]

can someone ping me with updates i’m on galveston so my service isn’t great

[tender oasis]

why would they convert from Newtons to lbf

that's awful

[molten shadow]

spite

[rancid tinsel]

i wish we got views of the engines coming up like that on falcon goddamn

[unreal mango]

It was a joke based off this

[rancid tinsel]

that was hot

so hot

[rancid tinsel]

lmao

[tender oasis]

@long oak I don't know if you've seen the series but the start of Relativity's webcast music always remind me of that one music from OVNI(s)

[pulsar ermine]

True

[unreal mango]

I love blue rocket exhausts

[charred oriole]

How would the rd-270 pentaborane flames would look like

Bright green?

[devout gale]

I bet they feel blue

[charred oriole]

Really? It looked like all started up successfully huh

[meager echo]

Wish they would update us

[cloud remnant]

Probably going to scrub any second now

[rancid tinsel]

which one is that

[rancid tinsel]

they’re probably trying to figure it out

[sullen geyser]

Yeah aren't there like 5

[rancid tinsel]

i expect them to count and use the full 55 minutes remaining

[meager echo]

Is it not just 1st to ignite

[frosty crest]

So did they get the boat out of the way?

[zenith gulch]

Didn't they push forward the other day

[quartz lark]

Upper Level Winds problem for the whole night

[rancid tinsel]

i think if we make it to terminal count we fly

and subsequently have a failure

[tender oasis]

nah

this flight will definitely be a success

[rancid tinsel]

but i wouldn’t be shocked to see a T-20 abort

[charred oriole]

oh rip

We are launching today

[charred oriole]

They're probably gonna fail outright

[meager echo]

From the war criminal himself

[rancid tinsel]

they have really good streams

[rancid tinsel]

[safe mirage]

the propellant performs better if it does a loop-da-loop

[charred oriole]

Oh just quoting eric, found it funny haha

no sugar coating

[rancid tinsel]

ah

[tender oasis]

Those pictures go so hard

[rancid tinsel]

i would say if they get S2i they orbit but Astra has taught me that no

[long oak]

Yes

[meager echo]

Respect the honesty

[tender oasis]

"Shoot it down"

Ah lmao I was just gonna ask if you're still here lmao

[cinder aspen]

Don't hang me, I don't know about airplanes, I only know that the ones in the picture are from France because they have a tube in the front.

[tender oasis]

fair

[charred oriole]

Mirages with the big air intakes

at least they're not like this

[meager echo]

IT SOO HAPPIEE

[charred oriole]

happier than the F-16 :D

[long oak]

Rafale have two engines, Mirage 2000 only have one

[rancid tinsel]

T-0 pushed back by 5?

app says 27 minutes

[meager echo]

Wahr

[frosty crest]

This looks like it would be an end game fighter in a sci-fi RTS made by someone who knows nothing about aircraft

[tender oasis]

It's now 21:00 UTC

[cinder aspen]

Ok, both still have a tube in front

[charred oriole]

true :true:

[proud robin]

[meager echo]

Modern boing engineering described well

[tender oasis]

Technically most planes have them, it's just that Rafale and Mirage 2000 ones are permanently deployed

[proud robin]

Modern Boeing engineering? What's that

[rancid tinsel]

well we better not hold

[proud robin]

I didn't know they had any engineers left

[frosty crest]

Imma be honest I dunno what this means or anything about aircraft either

[charred oriole]

I'm just so glad the X32 lost to the F-35 because damn

[meager echo]

Guesswork, thats what it is

[long oak]

[proud robin]

[charred oriole]

:D

[tender oasis]

happy air intake

[cinder aspen]

Yeah

[frosty crest]

Wait wait

WAIT

[tender oasis]

Mirage 2000 is objectively the most beautiful fighter jet ever built

[frosty crest]

This was gonna be put in place of the fucking F-35???

[charred oriole]

Yeah, it was competition between that and the F-35

[rancid tinsel]

any word on cause yet?

[charred oriole]

Lockheed won because it was further into development iirc

[long oak]

Super Etendard & Rafale would like to have a word

[long oak]

Nope

[rancid tinsel]

hm

well

[tender oasis]

Super Étendard just looks so goofy

[rancid tinsel]

we’ll need to see how far we can get into count here i guess

[tender oasis]

Like oh my god

[charred oriole]

Eurofighter typhoon...

[frosty crest]

This looks like a stick bug

[long oak]

Cheap Rafale copy

[rancid tinsel]

the lack of cause announcement makes me nervous

[meager echo]

Why is it like full surround sound lol

[charred oriole]

[tender oasis]

Eurofighter is just uglier Rafale

[charred oriole]

DOUBLE rage!!

[tender oasis]

Nothing can beat that

[meager echo]

Clearly not the best livery they made tho

[rancid tinsel]

okay so let’s take our bets

[tender oasis]

French planes with their funny liveries

[warm pasture]

the BOAT returns

[frosty crest]

The boat people snuck in and unscrewed a bolt

[charred oriole]

who CARES about stealth, a cooler paint job is BETTER!

[rancid tinsel]

should be coming up into gng in 5min

[tender oasis]

Literally

[charred oriole]

Second stage failure because yes

[warm pasture]

paint job so sick they can’t shoot it down

[long oak]

Pokemon player behaviour, who cares about stats, a better looking Poke is better

[rancid tinsel]

i think they’re gonna go for it

[charred oriole]

thats so true

[acoustic willow]

GNG in ~2 minutes

[rancid tinsel]

they want to fly so badly

[tender oasis]

The last thing the Russian military will ever see if they have a Rafale nearby them

[meager echo]

I think they will

[charred oriole]

SAM's refuse to shoot down such a good looking plane

[rancid tinsel]

i think we’re gonna have an “i don’t think it’s supposed to do that”

[cloud remnant]

I don’t think they care if it blows up on the pad or not at this point

[rancid tinsel]

yeah same

[tender oasis]

they definitely will fly today

[rancid tinsel]

no they want to get it as far down range as possible

[warm pasture]

wait is the pad 3d printed too?

[charred oriole]

could you imagine lol

"you wouldn't 3d a launch pad"

[rancid tinsel]

wouldn’t shock me

2D launch pad

[long oak]

You wouldn't download a rocket

[cloud remnant]

That probably won’t happen

[charred oriole]

[rancid tinsel]

as far as possible means as far as possible not a certain distance

[meager echo]

Side p2

[tender oasis]

you wouldn't download a payload

[rancid tinsel]

anything but a fallback or VAB strike

[cloud remnant]

Imagine if relativity accidentally posted the actual Terran one files on thingiverse lol

[rancid tinsel]

only 85% of the rocket is 3d printed so you’d be missing a chunk

[meager echo]

Would make

[long oak]

I wonder if they use a classic STL file

[meager echo]

It's it mostly just pcb and rubber

[rancid tinsel]

i wonder what CAD they use

[tender oasis]

I mean most of the missing chunk are the avionics

[rancid tinsel]

interesting

[rancid tinsel]

that would make sense

if we poll go here in the next few minutes i think we go

[long oak]
