SpaceX (Boca Chica) : Starship SN7 pressure testing underway. Tank is currently frosty about 50% up.
100% Frosty! Then it sprung a leak. Last edited by brewloc; 06-15-2020 at 06:08 PM. Reason: Updates |

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:

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. |

the command center speaks volumes about how far tech as come since the moonshots. They have probably 100x the tech on those tables then what was in Mission Control, but it looks empty.
