Did they fix the ice in the tanks problem for IFT4? I feel that is why Elon is so jaded on his timeline and why they havent submitted the mishap report to the FAA. It was his decision to do the whole ice thing, and now to fix it they have to produce whole new plumbing for the engines.

What else clogged the engine intakes?
Reminder that the plumbing is known enough to tell that there is no common filter.
The engines are common only in the tank.
What could have realistically been inside the tank to clog like 10 engine inlets at once?

Buddy, they are probably trolling. These are the first people to claim we are trolling, but they blatantly deny (or don't know) facts like this. It's unfortunate that there are idiots like this around because they make us all look bad, but they are most of the posters on /sfg/

here we go with the troll accusations. KYS.
>>16176044
It was the exact same issue buster. Booster and Starship experienced engine RUDS which caused loss of vehicle. Booster didnt even complete the boostback and only lit 5 engfines for landing at most. Ship lost all pressure in the tanks due to engine RUD (which caused the spin) which is why the RCS didnt work.

Wrong. Electrical fire occured about 8 hours before the stack attempt. They tried to attach chopsticks to the Ship and failed.

How many boosters and starships have they already manufactured? Does it seem dumb to anyone else to manufacture a whole bunch of untested vehicles that will need to be torn down and rebuilt after the inevitable problems are discovered during the test phase? aircraft manufacturers rarely seem to build more than 2 or 3 prototype vehicles before at least preliminary flight testing is done and the biggest problems with the design have been discovered

>>16176061
Then you should stop thinking that all problems are because of engines, because rockets are a lot more complicated than just engine systems. Watching the IFT-3 stream of Starship in orbit, it looks more like one of the roll control valves froze shut after being used to try and correct for roll earlier in the flight. The system is ultimately a cold gas thruster, regardless of the temperature of the ullage gas in use, and gas expansion rapidly drops the temperature.

[Anonymous No.16176100]

>>16176088
they are testing and iterating upon the mass manufacturing system simultaneously, it doesn't matter if they get scrapped if they learn something doing them (either for iterating the ship/booster or iterating the manufacturing system)
the point is to build a factory that churns out multiple ships a week or something
