SpaceX (Boca Chica) : Starship SN7 pressure testing underway. Tank is currently frosty about 50% up.


100% Frosty! Then it sprung a leak.

So, they repaired SN7 since the last post.
Today was another test to failure.
It went well:



Most likely RIP SN7.

I guess test was the wrong word (even though they are testing), but I think you know what I meant.?. Here's a cool write up w/video of NASA doing similar. End Result Pic:

Oh I know, and its a valid thing to do, it just struck me funny. In fact, it reminded me of this "to failure test".

FYI there is a comet visible in the post sunset sky near the Big Dipper in case you all didn't catch the news. Closest approach to earth is the 23rd.

Search for NEOWISE comet.
