I don't see it on that list. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened early November.

There's a road closure booked for tuesday. That'll probably be the static fire. After that, it's good to go. So, launch in a week-ish?

What kind of low tech shit are you working on, the Wright Flyer?

Sadly, that would be much easier. Modern aircraft are a fucking nightmare to work on. Over-engineered, under-designed.

Basically every rocket engine does this. It works something like this:
batukhan
My actuator also pivots on the thrust mount
13579rocket
Fooby
It does seem a little odd to me that the thrust from the vector nozzles can overlap the fixed nozzles' edges. I guess the material takes it?
Acc87
They don't run simultaneously. Inside is atmosphere nozzles, outside is vacuum nozzles.
Acc87
sorry read that wrong, now I get what you mean.

Being that it’s a shuttle, that seems acceptable

I immediately thought that. And you know, maintenance in space must be... fun.
ImHereForExplicitContent
You know, I doubt aircraft mechanics have to perform maintenance while airborne.
Voidhawk42
Important satellites like the Hubble and the ISS are the only things that get maintenance in space. Everything else comes back to Earth.
TacoFox
Where would they carry the spare parts, tools, and consumables...also who would fix it? The stick wiggler?
Shrike99
It's pretty much the same control setup the RS-25s on the Space Shuttle had.
tripletiddy
As a aircraft mechanic, you are un-qualified. You need a spacecraft mechanic for this dummy.
tripletiddy
Fuckin' rocket surgeons downvoting me. Get a sense of humor.

TIL aircraft greasemonkeys DON'T like being told they cant touch something.
rnj454
Not necessarily true. A&P's get hired to work on spacecraft all the time.
tripletiddy
We found the engineer!
rnj454
No, I work for a living. As an A&P. Hence my statement.
tripletiddy
Guess you're not allowed to make jokes in your line of work. We make the parts you bolt on, and you wouldn't last a day in our shop.
Multipew
How so? I get that it's complex to control, but the mechanics of it comes down to just 9 rams and 6 pivots.
wadenelson1
Found the SpaceX engineer!
Multipew
I'm not saying that *I* could do it, but I reckon with a raspberry pi, 9 servos and a 3d printer you could make a working model.
rnj454
You can simplify it down to 9 rams/6 pivots, but that doesn't take into account the controls for the mechanism, the rigging required to 1/
rnj454
make everything work in a synchronized manner, and maintaining constant and reliable power, among other things. 2/2
AJ2071
Will be computer controlled and given who's in charge of jt and the money being spent id say it'll work like a dream

You do know that elongated muskrat isn't doing the engineering himself, right?
ScrewYouAndTheDildoYouRodeInOn
Given who's in charge hahahahahahahahahaaahahaha. Captain hyperloop? Dude. Dude. Be glad REAL engineers are designing these not rich idiots.
ImHereForExplicitContent
If I rode in on a dildo I wouldn't need to be screwed, now would I?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Just think about how bad its gonna be if one, just one of the pistons breaks
Multipew
Have you seen the one Ted talk about drones where they demonstrate how they can algorithmically compensate for damage? I imagine something -
Multipew
Similar would be possible with this. Though I expect it'd involve a lot of spinning
Skilgannon92
Moving parts are always a nightmare, one thing breaks and a lot of stuff has to come out not just what’s broke, and engineers 1/2

Have you ever seen wing flaps?
ContinuallySenseless
Have you seen what wing flaps do in space? They look pretty.
Molotovbliss
My guess that's why it's just a secondary and not the main drive. Question is how is fuel getting delivered to them.
metasheep
The smaller cones are for use in an atmosphere while the big cones are for use in space. All are connected to Raptor engines though.
NopeHunter
The small ones are the in-atmosphere optimized engines. The Large ones are the vacuum optimized ones. No idea about fuel, we'll say magic.
Shrike99
This video shows the fuel systems pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PC47YrDtFs
GrandProtectorDark
Both engines are "main engines". The smaller ones are atmosphere optimised. The bigger are vacuum optimised.

Roll control (spinning)

I had just settled on twisty leg cross, but spell check gave me crispy crossy when I typed yours, which I think is the win.
FeIineDisrespectFromBehind
To do a barrel roll!
KaJuN
Cris-cross! Everybody clap your hands!
RedIronCrown
Thrust vectoring to control roll, pitch and yaw.
dadsarethebest
Oh, look at the rocket scientist over here
bleekout
Spirals in the opposite direction of axial rotation to counter balance negative rotation.
mmartin762
To do the twist, duh
tronnerdore64
There is no atmosphere in space so wings don’t work. You need to push the craft into a spin.
GrandProtectorDark
That's usually done bytiny seperate reaction control thruster.
OrThatsWhatTheySayAnyway
Why not use a portion of the thrust, no additional fuel used than what you were already using.
warp10
That's in space though. When launching through an atmosphere you need a lot more power to control spin, hence why they use the main engines
GrandProtectorDark
Yea byt the guy said "in space"
T0go
Starship's control surfaces are configured for re-entry and give little control authority on ascent, so the engines have to do it all
PaigeYes
To spin the craft
PicassoCT
In hindsight, it was a mistake to hire those funpark engineers to write the requirement specs. Well thats spilled vomit under the bridge
wannamintjulip
I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!
ifPokemonWereReal
Hold on R2
Mxlespxles
TheRealCaveman
Pretty sure there are laterall thrusters for that purpose. Using the raptor engines would be wasteful for such a small adjustment.
Gestalt7
What about redundancy in the event of a failure to lateral thrust control? Or a loss of one (or two) of the three?
TheRealCaveman
Could isn't should. seems like they thought that was a good option in some situation. But I highly doubt it's the only method of roll.
Gestalt7
I agree. If the capability is built as is shown, they'll definitely have a damn good reason for it. Gimbaling rocket motors like that is
gordy77
Good one, of course.
