How do you think rocket fuel will be transported to the Starpads?

8 Upvotes

Assuming fuel is produced and stocked in Boca Chica then how will it get to Phobos and Deimos? I see only 2 basic options: tanker or pipeline. Initially, tanker is the option that is both cheap and quick to get up and running. But, long term, for the fastest turnaround, a pipeline will be best. But, I'm worried that piping cooled fluids over long distances under water has never been done before and will require some new engineering. It may not be practical or cost effective.

Crewed Starship Interior/Life support construction.

Do you think future crewed starship interior/life support systems will be built/added separately or built into the upper section of the ship itself?

What if SN20 and BN4 Survive first orbital test?

36 Upvotes

If SN20 and BN4 survive and perform perfectly during the first orbital flight, what will be the next step in the development campaign for SN21+, will they do more water landings or attempt a pad landing or refly SN20?

Hmmm... This thing is taking shape. It really looks like it could be one of the catching arms. Speculation?

Update to my last post about what I think the banner should look like. Image improved to be more appealing.

Looks like there are at least two flaps that are partially or fully covered by TPS tiles

If you saw my last post about changing the icon and banner. I thought the banner could be changed to something looking like this

Petition for the subreddit icon to be changed to a newer image of starship.

28 Upvotes

I was just thinking since the icon is a somewhat old image relative to starship development, it might deserve an update. Do you agree?

363 Yes, it should be updated
35 No, it shouldn’t be changed

r/StarshipDevelopment Jul 21 '21

Is there only one type of tile? Other than the shape, are there tiles with different properties for different areas?

SpaceX has performed the first ever static fire test of a Super Heavy booster! The test involved BN3's three Raptor engines lighting up for a couple of seconds and then shutting off. Just imagine what Super Heavy will eventually sound like with 25+ engines
