Good read on ISS and atmosphere leaks...

Also saw a thing where the PSI on a plane is only 4-5 but that may not be the case on a planet with little atmosphere to begin with. Clearly pressurizing habitats is not my strong suit but I find it super interesting and hope Musk pulls it off. |

NASA has been running an autonomous 3D printed habitat challenge for a few years now. Some absolutely beautiful designs as well as some already tested concepts. https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/sp...Hab/index.html Here is a quick video from the finale winner. They are apparently trying to use the tech to build homes in areas with minimal access for construction/materials here on Earth as well. From a purely aesthetic perspective, this was my favorite entrant...

I almost think this frantic pace is just Elon trying to light a fire under the FAA's ass. Seems crazy that they could possibly be ready to launch it soon. Last edited by DaFace; 08-02-2021 at 07:35 PM.. |

![]() Also looking forward to Dodd's recent interview/tour to drop. Not a fan of his live events, but love his interviews and ELI5 videos.

Surely they'll do a few hop tests of just Super Heavy first.

I'm not sure what you pulled up, but commerical aircraft aren't pressurized at 4 to 5 psi at any altitude. The passengers wouldn't like it much... That's what it's like at the summit of Everest.

A lot of people hoping for a launch date of September 6th due to the meme-generation of fans (unofficial flight # 69420).

Yeah. I'd love to see it, but I'm guessing October or November at best due to FAA NEPA process. Apparently a 30 day window for public comment is required and that hasn't started yet.

If I remember the filed FAA flight plan, they have SH landing off the coast of Texas. Are they planning a water landing, or do they have something out there large enough for it to land on? The existing droneships are too small, no?
