    The Starship upper fin position debate is settled.

    Yes, they're working 3 shifts. Have been for some time.

    A canard is being attached to Starship Mk1 at Boca Chica this evening.

            Everyday Astronaut @Erdayastronaut
            Besides turning turbines into soup, is it really some of these joints and stuff that are more prone to failure at such high pressures?

            @Erdayastronaut and @Cor_SPACE
            Theres so much power going through this engine that its close to the limit of the known physics of materials in many places

            How many superalloys, such as SX500, had to be developed in order to make Raptor a reality?
            |
            Elon Musk @elonmusk
            Just SX500 so far, but we use many superalloys developed by others, eg Inco 718+. If anyone has 718++, that would be helpful haha. Massive engineering work in the casting, printing & machining of Raptor far more than in design of the engine itself!

                Progress report on Starship, SpaceX's gigantic interplanetary spacecraft and high-speed intercontinental transport. Also the Super Heavy booster rocket, the Raptor engine that powers both, and their launch sites.

                        He's not a very good public speaker, is he?

                        Pretty much like every gifted person I've ever met.

                        [edit]wow. 2x the strength at cryo temps. That's something.

                          The event also revealed they'll build another Starship at both Boca Chica TX and Cocoa FL using single piece rings, then build a Super Heavy at each site and start flying stacks. Full stack flights in mid-2020.

                              Starship entry & "skydiver" descent controls via drag brakes.

                              Direction of travel is essentially a belly flop relative to the vehicle's long axis.
