Robinson, Jr. : ================== SpaceX just ditched Hot Stage from Booster 9, Huge Test Tank 26 1 explosion, and more... Great! This is just great! Seriously!? Yesterday, after some quiet days at the Starbase launch pad, SpaceX surprisingly removed the Hot staging ring from Booster 9. The ring was slowly lowered to the ground by the lifting jig, Maarvin. So far, we still don’t know exactly why, but it can be for access to the top of the booster. Chopsticks are supporting its partner, Ship 25, hence why it can’t hold Booster 9 unpressurized.

At one point during the stacking, they had to do a clumsy and precarious lean out from the Starship work platform to connect a communication cable to the side of the ship. I suspect this may be due to there being some sort of problem with communications passthrough from the booster to the hot stage and to Starship. This might be to implement a fix if that was the problem, indeed. SpaceX just ditched Hot Stage from Booster 9, Huge Test Tank 26 1 explosion, and more... Next up, let’s try to enjoy this particular event! Come on, it is a total eye-feast! In fact, SpaceX pushed Test Tank 26.1 beyond its limits in an intentionally explosive test at Masseys! The prototype was filled with cryo fluid until it ultimately reached its limit and burst, spewing out billowing white nitrogen clouds. In slow-motion, it appears that fluid started bursting from the bottom first. The tank pops and collapses, sinking into the nitrogen plumes. From 2019 to 2020, SpaceX has been performing a series of tests like this at Boca Chica to refine its designs for the stainless steel Starship.
