[brittle spire]

Go 2x for a bit to "catch up"

[rich blade]

i also turned on speed

[umbral karma]

Set to 2x

[paper tusk]

will it launch earlier if i do 2x?

[rich blade]

T- 30mins!!!!!!!

[tulip magnet]

i might go to school earlier so i can watch

yea im doing that

cya guys

[rich blade]

bye

[viscid granite]

oh good they abandoned orbiter catching

[rich blade]

o tile exhibition

@austinbarnard45 We lost vehicle pneumatics. Reason unknown at present. Liquid oxygen header tank pressure is rising. Hopefully triggers burst disk to relieve pressure, otherwise it’s going to pop the cork.

A pressurant valve appears to be frozen, so unless it starts operating soon, no launch today

Welp, this is why I don't call in sick for rocket launches.

[rich blade]

Maybe just a

[rich blade]

maybe

idk why they dont hold for a bit

unless its obvious it wont unfreeze

[thin comet]

have they fully filled SH with propellant before ?

[rich blade]

yes

[umbral karma]

Send ebob to hit the valve with hammer

[blissful raptor]

Just shoot a flamethrower at it duh

[rich blade]

Not even suborbital

[brisk nest]

Hair dryer, that's all you need

[rich blade]

going into recycle?

[placid nova]

If it ignites it will unfreeze

[brittle spire]

🙏 there is still 5min for it to mysteriously fix itself

[rich blade]

but for what, tomorrow?

[glossy rivet]

They should just yolo

[viral solar]

what are the chances

[hollow plaza]

It is so unclear what is happening lmao

[west umbra]

We're setting it to hold to cover our asses

[brisk nest]

They probably won't say when it will launch since they don't know how long it will take to fix

[brittle spire]

I doubt anyone knows

[tulip magnet]

Wait so not an official scrub yet?

[rich blade]

ok but what if they ignite the engines and it shakes up the valve lmao

[proven flame]

It's official scrub

[hollow plaza]

Can't tell yet

[rich blade]

they keeping saying it yea

but like

why

[brittle spire]

well yes but actually no but actually yes but actually no, probably not but it might go ahead

it's basically a WDR that if it ⭐ magically ⭐ unfixes itself they can probably go

Elon sabotaged the valve to get 4/20 launch

[blissful raptor]

totally didnt expect it not to launch first attempt

4/20

Minimum of 48 hours until next attempt

[rich blade]

minimum 48 hrs, welp wont be able to watch it then

Wet dress rehearsal, when you and your wife are making out, she gets turned on, but then gets a headache 😂

as planned

[brittle spire]

wait they hit the hold?

that was not planned

[rich blade]

yep

i swear it was

[tulip magnet]

they mentioned a t-40s hold

[tulip magnet]

I saw the t-39!!!

[vagrant moat]

Wait what happened

[lament urchin]

What's WB57

[raven scroll]

Wait is this not a scrub

[ebon stratus]

I’m curious why they aren’t holding earlier to let the valve unfreeze

[raven scroll]

The BBC poster a breaking

[ebon stratus]

It is a scrub

[hollow plaza]

It is

[rich blade]

yeah thats my question

[raven scroll]

Aight

[brittle spire]

probably they can't unfreeze it

[vagrant moat]

It is, they turned it into a WDR

[tulip magnet]

JOHN

[raven scroll]

Ah

[brisk nest]

I wonder why it was held at 40 seconds

[ebon stratus]

Oh oof they had to end it earlier

[blissful raptor]

probably not worth it. or would take too long to let it thaw out

[rich blade]

OI

DONT END IT

[umbral karma]

[hollow plaza]

A 48h recycle means they might have to replace the valve

[rich blade]

wtf

[brisk nest]

Something didn't look good

[west umbra]

Just barely made it to 1 million viewers

[viral solar]

Ah man

[brittle spire]

And now we launch

[viral solar]

Welp

[tulip magnet]

Fuck

[brisk nest]

More then just a frozen valve I wonder

[ebon stratus]

Wasn’t that because of prop recycle

[brittle spire]

yes

[true aspen]

Scrub?

[ebon stratus]

Yeah I doubt a valve would take that long

[vagrant moat]

Welp

[rich blade]

its cuz of the prop

valve wont take long

[ebon stratus]

How many times will it scrub is the question

[rich blade]

LIFTOFF!!!!!

[hollow plaza]

Oh maybe, idk

[west umbra]

I won't be able to watch an attempt on wednesday or thursday

[ebon stratus]

nah

[shell python]

the worst is lock the doors

[rich blade]

yeah true

aw damn it

good run nevertheless

[shell python]

nxf horny moment 37372892

[whole moat]

so, any idea why they stopped at t-40 instead of t-10

[rich blade]

planned hold, prob went down to T-10s

[shell python]

didn’t proceed into terminal count i think

[rich blade]

but spacex ended stream

[whole moat]

yeah

but
why

[shell python]

no, they held at T-40 and decided not to proceed

[whole moat]

I guess what I’m more curious about is if it was a separate issue or the valve thing

[rich blade]

oh

[shell python]

vehicle safety i guess??

[whole moat]

not that I expect anyone to know

[shell python]

prob valve

would make sense for it to cycle etc

[thick sphinx]

Guys it launched!

Wow!

Orbit 2023!

[whole moat]

Also it’s good to see that they didn’t dump multiple tons of liquid methane overboard this time, though I wonder if that’s because the valve that was supposed to do that was frozen

[rich blade]

very interesting that they didnt wait longer for the valve to somehow unfreeze but thats like incredibly unlikely

[shell python]

why would they dump methane on the pad

[shell python]

prob bc they couldn’t

[whole moat]

nah it vaporised by the time it gets to the pad (or more accurately ground level, when they did that in the WDR it was blown away from the launch complex)

[rich blade]

watch it be a monumental fog next launch attempt

[shell python]

by pad i meant while connected to gse

[whole moat]

Also the reason they would do that, or the going theory, was because they didn’t have any other way to vent the ullage in the top couple meters or so of the CH4 tank on Superheavy

[rich blade]

firex system test

[whole moat]

and here is what that looked like

[rich blade]

probably end point of WDR then, now detanking ops

[whole hawk]

Buil…. What

[rich blade]

[fallow radish]

Wasssup

I was too slow 😦

[rich blade]

fantastic, now i wont see the inaugural launch of Starship

detank vent i reckon that is

stg if it goes on 4/20

[shell python]

nope they take care of that eventually

[shell python]

maybe they did proceed past T-40?

[rich blade]

yes

most likely

[shell python]

huh

not a frozen valve

yep

and there we have it

holy shit

momentous occasion

couldn’t be more proud of spacex rn

never thought it might actually work

now S24 gets to swim with the fishies

that little goofy headless starship i saw a year ago was the one to finally do it

so proud 😭😭

the booster that fucking imploded

Wednesday and a few hours earlier and we repeat SLS

[rich blade]

yeah

[pulsar pollen]

Honestly
The fact that I get to see the two largest rocket launches in space flight history live in less than six months is kinda mind boggling

[remote onyx]

I mean it happened before

[pulsar pollen]

True

But still hella cool nontheless

[loud spire]

Of what

[whole moat]

My first guess would be women, but that applies just as much to jesse

[loud spire]

Yes

[shell python]

women

[whole moat]

but

[shell python]

yeah abs

jessie and kate are awesome

[whole moat]

huh

[shell python]

abs is absolutely

[whole moat]

yeah ok fair enough

[loud spire]

I was thinking Antilock brake system

But

[shell python]

jessie, kate, and insprucker are my fav commentators

[shell python]

close enough

[remote onyx]

That's not really something we should be shocked by anymore but here we are

[shell python]

i mean it’s less shocking but the industry is still very male dominated

in my aero class which has like only 20ppl there’s me and one other girl and that’s it

[whole moat]

huh, how bout that

[pulsar pollen]

Well yeah they said they would

[shell python]

yeah true, maybe bc he’s pretty high up in the command chain? not sure. either way still cool

[whole moat]

I guess we did have a clue what with the fire extinguisher running

[shell python]

thought they said on the live they were just gonna stop at 40

[pulsar pollen]

Well yeah cuz Spuck’s been working as an engineer for SpaceX since it’s infancy

[loud spire]

They said multiple wrong things on the live

[shell python]

yeah, hopefully it’ll get more equal

[pulsar pollen]

When they first mentioned it they said they’d go to T-10

[shell python]

yeah then right before they closed they said they were just gonna stop at 40

[pulsar pollen]

Ah
Didn’t hear that since I stopped watching the stream the moment I heard “Wet Dress Rehearsal”

lmao

Reduced traffic at the launch complex will be ideal over the next two days while SpaceX is rushing to refill the propellant storage tanks.

Expecting roughly 150 LN2 tankers, 70 LOX and 70 CH4 tankers to be delivered over the next two days.

i have a 2hr delay

so I can actually watch it at home

[undone gull]

Here they come

[hollow plaza]

The fuck? Do they just vent everything???

[shell python]

i guess a lot of the LOX??

[hollow plaza]

But the CH4?

they don't even have a burner, where'd it go?!

[rich blade]

the army of tankers

[rich blade]

recondensing

some goes back into tanks i think

rest is lost as boiloff

so vented

[vagrant moat]

YESSSSSSSS Wednesday attempt LESS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[shell python]

confirmed?

[vagrant moat]

It's on the manifest

[modest heron]

So not confirmed

[vagrant moat]

Oh

Shit

[proven field]

I updated per https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_spt.jsp but yeah, I don’t know if I should even given the NET 48 hours turnaround as said in the webcast. Not the least of which SpaceX themselves scheduled the next Starlink launch from the Cape just an hour before that!

[vagrant moat]

Ah

[rich blade]

might be able to watch it

[true aspen]

Back from school

Is the scrub reason known?

[pastel vault]

frozen valve

[true aspen]

[pastel vault]

per elon tweet

[true aspen]

Thanks

[vagrant moat]

Nevermind it's not confirmed I was just reading the manifest

[true aspen]

Pretty sure they said they need 48 hours to recycle so it’s a good guess

[rich blade]

i hope its wednesday

if they launch between 7:00 and 7:20 CDT on any day then i can watch the launch

[proven field]

Wednesday’s (and Thursday’s) window is unfortunately listed as 8:28-10:05 am CDT on the FAA page I posted.
You can in exchange watch Starlink 6-2 flying at 7:28 am the same day though if SpaceX decides to do both

[rich blade]

oh.

wednesday should still be ok, but it will be a problem if they go for thursday

[vagrant moat]

Same

Please no Thursday attempt

[rich blade]

friday would also be a problem

so wednesday ideally

cuz tomorrow is impossible

[hollow plaza]

With LOx sure, but CH4 cannot be vented in large quantities

legally, that is

[rich blade]

maybe they lose a lot from boiloff?

not sure tbh

[hollow plaza]

Still, it has to be burned off, it can't be vented

and afaik they no longer have a burner

[rich blade]

yeah

[hollow plaza]

Megathonk

[vagrant moat]

Ping me when we get a new T-

[rich blade]

ok

[hollow plaza]

We'll probably do an announcement

Since this is a massively important launch, it seems necessary

Wouldn't do this for, for instance, Starlink 69-420

[vagrant moat]

||Alright I talked to him and my dad is cool with me skipping government class on Thursday if the launch ends up being then since I have a literal 100 in that class right now anyway, if you see this Maddie then don't tell anyone, my car just "wouldn't start" for a while and I had to get alternate transportation.||

[rich blade]

hopefully starship will liftoff next time they try, although i still fear we will get a monstrous raptor abort

actully my school does this thing in HR on Thursdays where we spend until like 9:15am to work on stuff

so its not a big feat to skip

I have chem first again on 4/20💀

I firmly believe the more people expect a scrub, the less likely it is to happen

[modest heron]

That's not how it works

Everyone expected a scrub today for example

[shell python]

rockets operate on hopes and dreams

[fleet lichen]

I didnt, cuz I wasnt able to watch the stream, so I figured obviously it would launch without me

was hoping the window would start a bit earlier

probably not

i won't hope for a raptor abort

usually not a good sign when I miss starship flights, SN11 was the only one I missed and we all know how that ended

I totally forgot I wrote about their decision to cancel the WDR

Before the FRR, a preliminary plan called for a Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) to be performed on April 11. However, as part of the decisions taken during the meeting, SpaceX decided to forego this test and proceed directly with a launch. This option would give the teams time to close out issues while still keeping the opportunity to launch on April 17.

[loud spire]

Well with the time its planned its fine but if they delay later than 8:40 i cant watch i wont be able to see the rest of it anyway though ahh

[past robin]

No way

[pulsar pollen]

not a methane fire, no

methane burns with a blue tint

this is something else, maybe gasoline or some other fuel

[rich blade]

yeah I don't think that this was one of the methane tankers

probably just a regular tanker

[past robin]

It was one of the kerosine tankers for the second stage

[whole moat]

methane can burn with a yellow or orange flame - just look at the flare stacks from early starship tests - but it wouldn’t stick to the ground like that nor produce so much black smoke

[umbral karma]

Looks like the road is on fire

Asphalt can burn and causes black smoke like that

[edgy dust]

Looks like a lot of work on the BQD
