@ShuttleAlmanac @NASA @NASAAdmin They’ve done tests with jury-rigging additional seats. Goes back before Starliner/Crew-8 to Frank Rubio’s time on ISS (Soyuz coolant leak). I worked at SX for 5 years, but not on Dragon team (although I was RE for Crew Tablets).

@ashleevance My sincere condolences on your loss. Sounds like a life well-lived.

@_abbie_watson_ @lessaxwrong Just because their infra may or may not run on AWS doesn’t mean they’re better at supply chain than SpaceX. Given how much stuff SpaceX builds compared to Blue, both in hardware and dollars spent… A 12 month rebuild would be a best-case scenario.

@Blaze_R935 SpaceX builds one F9 (or FH) core every month, and the FH center core is a different SKU/build. They have production planned out years ahead. Not so easy to ramp up production of center cores.

@philosophygeek @AndrewBenson Lot of them didn’t sell, or didn’t sell much. I figured my shares would 5x in value if I was lucky. They’ve done… significantly more than that.

@suzukisapers @CollectPanda33 ISS has about 3 1/2 years left. They didn't have multiple providers for 9 years when Soyuz was the only ride to/from the space station. They'll be fine for the remainder of ISS's life.

@B1B_Lancer @CollectPanda33 Even for its uncrewed re-entry, it had multiple thruster failures providing zero redundancy, plus helium leaks and guidance computer dropouts. Not flying astronauts home on it was definitely the correct choice.

@SpaceDavenport Starliner should be relegated to cargo. Never people.

@kat_from_eu @insertgenname Starship's tanks are filled with methane & liquid oxygen (& Helium). All of those things are present in nature already. It's the solid rocket motors, RP-1/kerosene (which F9 uses), & hypergols that aren't great for the atmosphere. So Starship is definitely an improvement here.

@deltaIV9250 Definitely more going on there than the exploding Raptor 3. The good news is that there is so much data collected, and the teams are really good about figuring out what went wrong, and coming up with solutions.

@TrueFactsStated Let me put it another way. I'm no fan of Elon, but what SpaceX is building here is pretty amazing, and something no one has done before. World's largest, most powerful, fully reusable rocket. They are close to having it operational/no more test flights.

@Truthful_ast @xdNiBoR @MatthewTortora_ I worked with Erin. She's awesome. But she has good reason to dislike Elon, because of his anti-trans views.

@AvonandsomerRob Probably my white 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP (Holden Commodore), 6th last one built. I did replace it in 2024 with a blue one (32k miles), but... I also own an '04 GTO. Love Holdens.
