  1. You mean to tell me you have never watched Armageddon? That tank farm next to the pad, you strap it to a starship and put it in orbit. Likely will require the building of a refueling station. Whether that is attached to ISS or standalone I have yet to see.
  2. Think space station segments, or very large satellites. (Not to mention, this is how we return to the moon and get to Mars). Falcon Heavy is the current active other Heavy lift capability, but this allows for much more tonnage in a single load, thereby reducing number of launches necessary. Falcon Heavy is ~double the lift capacity of the Shuttle if memory serves.
  3. I hope you are right. Hopefully the tank farm damage isn't too bad.
  4. Man, I was just debating this.... I have to move a a bunch of shit though, and I still can't close the garage. Fucking 80's houses and current sizes of pickup trucks...
  5. Do I remember correctly that you are north of Austin? Or am I thinking of someone else. Waco area? My station in South Austin is 86 currently, but was as high as 88 a bit ago. Looks like the line is starting to pop to the east. Hold on to your butts.
  6. Anecdotal, but the first several years it felt at least 75% of the F1 races. I haven't been in a few years, but even in 2018 it felt like at least half of F1 crowds.
  7. Tim Dodd commented on one of the streams I was watching that this was sand. He got rained upon about 5 miles away. My guess is they may not get another test this year. Sounds like a complete rebuild/redesign of the pad is needed, and I'm seeing some reports that the tank farm is pretty heavily damaged.
  8. Man I was really hoping things might line up for test number 2 sometime in June while we are there, but based on this, my guess is its gonna take some time to repair.
  9. Anything above clearing the tower was a success. The rest was just gravy.
  10. Did it separate before it went boom?

  12. @closetohumping Hey gramps, when you pull something from Facebook, be sure to check its authenticity before sharing elsewhere. Or post it on the saw it on Facebook thread.
  13. Why I asked for a link. I cannot find any mention of this story anywhere, namely CNN.com
  14. Pre-Austin bomber, we were lucky if we only got 50% of our packages swiped a week. This is in 78748. Pretty sure it was a particular group of high schoolers that was doing it on the way home from school, as about half of the things we would find stripped out of the box down the block, if it wasn't something they were interested in. Hasn't happened since.
  15. Well this is pretty rich. https://www.carterscountry.com
  16. IP confirmed by Imma.
  17. 48 hours minimum to recycle the fueling. Wednesday or Thursday.
  18. Have had no complaints with UFCU.
  19. Here is the only explanation I have seen:
  20. got it, can't read everything and keep a job, so that is also not surprising.
  21. From what I have read, NYC does not release mugshots to the public.
