It HAPPENED! SpaceX first water deluge test
SpaceX Starbase launch pad has finally reawakened!
They just performed some tornado tests on the orbital launch mount.
This is, in fact, the test of Raptor QD.
Let’s see how high the vortex reaches.
This test of the startup system is meant for the outer 20 raptor engines which have been completely replaced after the Starship IFT.
Aside from that, ….
Over the past week, SpaceX has been making quick work out of installing large prefabricated components for the Starship OLM transpirationally cooled steel plates.
The pipelines are then also immediately put into the coupling.
It is hard to tell for sure but it appears that everything pictured has at least been lifted into place and surely welding has begun.
Wow, Starbase is moving so fast now. Remember they were just pouring concrete 10 days ago?
