Yep. The heat death of Kinja continues. Sad.

Yeah, I’m 6' 4" and when in the glory days I was at 210 I was an effing rail. There’s absolutely no way Trump is below ... what? ... 270? 300+ wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Yeah, and it’s not really a diverter, either, in that it’s not really redirecting the exhaust in any particular direction. It’s more like a reinforcement of the flat surface that was already there (the ground) as well as providing for deluge dispersion.

SpaceX hasn’t released anything, but I believe one of LabPadre’s cameras picked it up ...

And fortunately they’ve already tested an FTS that, instead of blowing holes in the tanks, basically “unzips” them pyrotechnically instead. Should hopefully make things a bit more instantaneous.

Yeah, the main development snag that’s holding up SpaceX at the moment is upgrading the OLM, and they’re on that 24/7 and seem to be making fairly rapid progress. In the meantime, they’ve got, what, 4 other ships and boosters ready to go with others under construction. Once the OLM is ready to go, their testing…

Given how that crater looks, I’d have to say a diverter of some sort will be mandatory. I can’t imagine them just rebuilding to what they had today (and honestly, I can’t imagine how they thought they could get away without one to begin with). But yeah, my money’s on a diverter / trench / something when they make…

Assuming they can get the launch license, they can get the next one stacked and ready within the next month or two.

a “cold gun”—i.e., one containing no blank rounds

So I’m still trying to figure out how ...

Yea, “falling” on the award was hardly a surprise to the dude; it was the entire purpose of his leap in the first place …

“The insane woman was inside you all along” ...

I really want someone to explain why helping someone go to another state for a completely legal procedure in that state is any of the home state’s business, or even where the home state would have standing of any sort to prosecute.
