TOXICMAN:
Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high.

However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact.

@elonmusk

BN1 is a manufacturing pathfinder, so will be scrapped. We learned a lot, but have already changed design to BN2.

Goal is to get BN2 with engines on orbital pad before end of April. It might even be orbit-capable if we are lucky.

Hoppy not happy

@elonmusk
Please consider moving to Starbase or greater Brownsville/South Padre area in Texas & encourage friends to do so!

SpaceX’s hiring needs for engineers, technicians, builders & essential support personnel of all kinds are growing rapidly.

Starbase will grow by several thousand people over the next year or two

@elonmusk
Am donating $20M to Cameron County schools & $10M to City of Brownsville for downtown revitalization. Details to follow next week.

DZODZO: tadz je to zlověstně blízko kamery.. :)

TOXICMAN: předávám jak jsem dostal na Elonx.

KARLOSK: pochybuju... pokud nastala exploze, tak nízko nad zemí... pokud něco přistálo na South Padre, pak to muselo odpadnout někde okolo apogee a muselo to být dost lehké

SN15 rolls to launch pad in a few days. It has hundreds of design improvements across structures, avionics/software & engine.

Hopefully, one of those improvements covers this problem. If not, then retrofit will add a few more days.

jo jenže trosky prý teď letěli až do South Padre, 8 km daleko...

mna by zaujimalo ze ci maju nejako vyratanu tu oblast dopadu trosiek, aby to tam niekomu nepadlo na hlavu

zas co som kdesi cital, ze v boca im elon nechal namontovat solar roof ako kompenzaciu, tak keby to padlo tam na strechu a ta by to prezila, tak by to bola dobra reklama na solarne tasky :D

At least the crater is in the right place!

Looks like engine 2 had issues on ascent & didn’t reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn, but, in theory, it wasn’t needed.

Something significant happened shortly after landing burn start. Should know what it was once we can examine the bits later today.
