@Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace That was our design approach in early days, but fairing mass is much higher & stability of booster in ground winds is low

@C3LT_Games @SciGuySpace There will be no Block 6. Moving to Starship architecture.

@ebelliveau @SciGuySpace Frangible would def hurt reusability. Also, presumably those quarter sections are actuated or aero control will be impossible.

@SciGuySpace Good to see this. Splitting interstage into 4 sections will have some challenges, but could work.

@Cocalarix @romaarra Probably sooner

@romaarra Ok

@TherrinKSCVC @SteelSully @annerajb @kickber @ExploreSpaceKSC Sure, that would be an honor

@Erdayastronaut @justpaulinelol @MattLBates Most likely. It is programmed to do so.

@justpaulinelol @MattLBates @Erdayastronaut High entry force & heat breached engine bay & center engine TVC failed

@Malcolmmarsman @bluemoondance74 @SptlightVids @SpaceX Ok, thanks

@bluemoondance74 @SptlightVids @SpaceX :(

@bluemoondance74 @SptlightVids @SpaceX Working on Tesla global logistics

@MattLBates @Erdayastronaut I know … sigh. Those are truly a work of art.

@SptlightVids @SpaceX Yes, but we couldn’t take a chance on 2nd stage failing it’s 4th maneuver. This mission was more complex than anything I’m aware of in history of rockets. RIP center core, you did your duty well.

Ms. Tree caught the Falcon fairing!!

@SpaceXUpdates @Erdayastronaut High payload/delta-V missions will always be far downrange. Value of boost stage is measured (essentially) by *horizontal* velocity imparted to upper stage. Altitude is almost unimportant.

@Erdayastronaut Center core RUD. It was a long shot.

@autonomyEV @tesla_truth @marialauraadr @_TomCross_ He was the real deal

@autonomyEV @tesla_truth @marialauraadr @_TomCross_ One of our main conference rooms at SpaceX is named after Goddard

@0411ashwin No, it’s along the way
