furgee ::: Favorites yeah i am, i just assumed that when it turned red it was softening as well as oscilating 07-06-12 17:03:53 __________________________________________________
byetis ::: Favorites There was no problem with the temp of the bell. Niobium maintains its strength very well at elevated temperature (which is why they used it). The nozzle appears to be very well designed. I think you're used to seeing alloys like steel get soft and weak when it starts to glow. 07-06-12 16:22:48 __________________________________________________
furgee ::: Favorites The second stage bell was way to hot. They should wrap the inlet hoses around the bell (from the LOX tank) to cool the bell. Im no enginere by no stretch of the imagination but that is what NASA does. I believe its called pre-warming 07-05-09 01:09:37 __________________________________________________

MBlaugh ::: Favorites Elon is an assclown. Full of himself and treats his brilliant engineers like shit. If anything brings this company down, it will be him and his monstrously inflated ego. 07-04-09 18:50:34 __________________________________________________
AeroEngy ::: Favorites Actually I have launched several rockets putting different types of payloads into orbit(GEO and LEO). I know how complicated it is and Elon saying this mission was 95% successful is ridiculous. 07-03-24 11:03:04 __________________________________________________
spacemanspiff2 ::: Favorites scowell, shut the heck up. go launch your own and then get back to us with your comments. Oh, and the snow was either coolant that crystallized or some of the condensation shown earlier that froze upon entering into COLD BLACK SPACE!

AeroEngy ::: Favorites Yeah ,the S2 nozzle looks like it took a decent hit on separation. Also, there is another video on youtube that shows about 10 more seconds of flight where they really lose control and almost go end over end. 07-03-22 21:45:30 __________________________________________________
AeroEngy ::: Favorites Yeah I saw that to looks like the S2 nozzle took a decent hit. Also, there is another video on youtube that shows about 10 more seconds of the flight that really shows it go out of control and head almost end over end. 07-03-22 21:37:16 __________________________________________________
