That would make sense, which is why what they said was confusing. Stopping would help the writers get ahead. Stopping would not help production get further ahead of the writing.

Some people don’t understand just how big the Los Angeles urban area is - the City of Los Angeles is dwarfed in comparison to the city, on city, on city, on city, on city, on city, on city until you get to an urban area.

Realistically how would that solve the problem of losing power because the generator failed? Without power it can’t run an autopilot or control itself to fly anywhere.

I eagerly await the scientific study that shows that Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notices are a choking hazard and must be recalled.

Expected this reply.

It seems you have asked a question, rather than offered am “they should do this” solution.

Assuming the opposite also is making the unfounded guess that they support human virtues.

I’m really looking forward to the replies with “easy” “why don’t they just _______” solutions, like those offered following the recent articles about SpaceX rocket falling over after it landed.

That the tank burst is not at all surprising. It’s designed to be strong on its vertical axis, and as light as possible. If you scaled a soda can up as tall as the Falcon 9 first stage, its aluminum walls would be twice as thick as those of the rocket.

First part of the reason is where they launch. In the US, orbital rockets are launched on paths that take them out over the ocean because it is unpopulated, and rocket launches sometimes end up like this:

And sometimes I can’t even make the fake typo on purpose, when I want to type “duel engine.”

Yes, the dry weight of an RD-180 engine is 12,080 pounds. The BE-4 engine that is expected to be used on ULA’s Vulcan is still being designed, but it’s probably a safe speculation that an engine pod with a pair of them is going to weigh at least in the same neighborhood if not a bit heavier (accounting for the…

I have a little more faith in this one. They modeled the physics in Kerbal Space Program, so it will work for sure.
