I can still see it.
I think this is all coming from the flap hinges. The hotspots on the leeward part are sparks from the sides. They fall that direction since the re-entry is applying some drag.
The intentionally missing tiles were just on the engine skirt section IIRC. So this isn't necessarily a problem with the main heat shield. The V2 flap design might mitigate it completely. We can't really say much from just one (alleged) image.
Edit: The IFT7 stream stated SN33 has missing tiles spread over the entire heat shield this time.
Edit2: Not going to see anything from IFT7 re-entry.
And then there's shit like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Standard-Computer-Quieter2-Quieter2Q-Quieter2D-Black/dp/B099RXXDYT
if you want to use it on the third part mini pc,confirm that the output voltage of your mini pc needs 12V. If the output voltage is lower or higher than 12V and the output current exceed 2A, it will burn your mini pc or cpu.
I think ICQ, AIM and MSN messenger are all dead now. WhatsApp works on Matrix via a bridge. Not sure about other platforms.
Kanata is an alternative (like KMonad) that I've heard good things about.
btw
I just use qmk on my split keyboard.
It's important for objects that can be dereferenced. Smart pointers have methods that can be accessed with dot syntax like swap()
. You can still dereference through a smart pointer using arrow syntax to access methods on the referenced type since they overload the operator->()
method.
Actually, with regards to payloads - a bigger issue is how are they are going to deploy customer payloads. Unless they have flat-pack sats in the Starlink form factor, there's no way to get them in or out of a Starship. I think solving that - without compromising the structures or heat-shielding is a bigger concern. Which is why testing the vehicle with a lower mass, more aggressive launch to find out what is actually needed to survive re-entry, comes before actually loading the thing up.
Starship is a test program right now. SpaceX are not in a rush to sign on customers. They are operating the most prolific and heaviest launch system right now. They can handle the avionics and understand the launch trajectory better than anyone. Why waste time making test masses to throw in the ocean? There's no benefit to doing that with these prototype vehicles. When they are satisfied with recovery testing and go orbital, they'll launch a load of Starlink sats and no-one is going to care that they launched a banana first.
For that matter, Blue Origin are launching a tiny space tug on the first launch of their giant rocket. They don't need to demonstrate the maximum take-off weight of the vehicle. Demonstrating that they understand and can fly the thing all the way to orbit is fine. That will bring customers, which Blue really wants - they don't want a drawn out development campaign like Starship is having.
I'm not calling you a hater, I just don't see how launching a banana could be evidence of some fatal flaw with Starship when it's only flying sub-orbital test missions right now. Some people seem to think SpaceX is doing all this work just to perpetrate an elaborate scam to fleece American taxpayers. There's surely much easier scams than doing actual rocket science.
Why not? Where does it end up? I was asking if it decomposes into hydrogen and carbon dioxide due to UV exposure or something. Is that what you're saying?
