Wel heel vervelend voor mensen die zo’n fiets hebben.

Heb zelf een RadPower fiets en die gaan ook weg uit Europa. Maar die fiets heeft ook nog eens banden die nergens anders te krijgen zijn..

En ondertussen is dat bedrijf nog aan het stunten met aanbiedingen.

1:16:54am- Small (No tornado)

1:19:37am- Tornado

1:52:47am- Tornado

1:55am- Depress vent?

3:56am- Workers back at pad

8:50am- Crane lifts a bunch of boards out from beside the OLM

9:15am- Basket goes up. Center

9:33am- Crane lifts something with a lot of cables hanging off of it

5:25pm- Lots of people working on top of the OLM but the cranes and lifts have been silent today

6:00pm- Intermittent closure starts. NSF in SBL chat says that Jack is reporting sheriffs at the launch site. So maybe more testing instead of something moving?

6:20pm- Pope stack is venting (Going back and looking, I’m pretty sure it was just the pope stack and not the OLM like people were saying)

7:00pm- Seems like a full test/purge of the cryo lines

7:08pm- Can’t tell if that’s the new purge line or if there is just a massive leak

7:20pm- Launch site cloaking device engaged

7:29:10- People were reporting a bang. I can hear a slight pop but NSF’s mic is so far away that I don’t know if I’d put much faith in it being anything.

7:30pm- Venting seems to be letting up some

7:34pm- Pope stack is going again

8:00pm- Still venting. Seems to die off some and then pick back up

8:30:42- Sounds like a cell phone ringing. So I think you have to discount all of the bangs and pops

9:28:53- Drone comes out of lox cloud

10:36pm- Really starting to die off. Tank finally getting empty?

10:53pm- Down to a trickle at the beach but still a significant cloud by the actual tanks

11:16pm- Vent still going but small enough for people to return to the pad and people to leave the beach

Rover 2-

20:43:40- Something is definitely wrong. 4 person red team shows up in 2 carts and makes their plans on how they are going to punch thru and get to the big lox tank and spin the shutoff valve. Stick together and get out if the monitor goes off. The banging and popping sounds like a warning klaxon on here.

21:08- One guy walks out and a pick up shows up

21:10- Pick up leaves the pad

21:12- 2 more guys walk out on their cell phones

21:32- 47 minutes later, I’m going to guess they couldn’t get the valve to shut.

21:51- Lots of honking. It seems people are trapped on the beach.

21:54- Lab switches R2’s feed to R3 and we lose the microphone

1:54am- LR11000 disconnected from the y pipe

2:51am- Little crane lifts what appears to be a stand out of the pit

2:57am- What looks like a short piece of pipe is lifted into the pit

3:51am- Stand lowered into the pit

4:00am- LR11000 swings over and lowers it’s hook into the pit

4:39am- Grover lifts more rebar over for the cryo pit lid

4:50am- Another load of rebar is moved over

4:58am- 3rd load of rebar moved. That’s going to be one beefy lid

9:42am- Grover lifts what may be one of the extra deluge plate extensions over to the gap by the new stairs

9:59am- Swung back over to the side and sat down

10:07am- Grover lowers

11:14am- Concrete being cut

11:15am- Grover shows off and swings the extension plate back over to the OLM while lowered.

11:38am- Plate lowered. Lines go slack.

11:40am- Raised back up

11:47am- Lowered back down

11:57am- Picked back up and swung off to the side again

12:53pm- Generator removed from the pit

1:24pm- Basket goes up

1:31pm- LR11000 unhooks from whatever it was attached to (Most likely the Y pipe)

1:33pm- Basket goes down

2:07pm- Grover starts to remove it’s counter weights to move (Maybe to Masseys to lift B10?)

2:13pm- Grover removes more weights

2:18pm- More weights moved over to an SPMT

2:23pm- There goes another

2:24pm- LR11000 takes tension on its lifting straps

2:38pm- LR11000 lifts another deluge pipe. Grover removed 4 more weights

2:41pm- Pipe is raised higher and swung over OLM

2:48pm- Pipe starts lowering

2:58pm- Pipe is sat on the ground and the LR11000 is unhooked

2:59pm- Small crane hooks to the pipe

3:05pm- Pipe is swung over towards the left most manifold. So looks like it’s the left side of the Y. If the piece lifted early this morning was the right side, this should be the last piece to go around the OLM. Now we need the 2 feed pipes from the concrete bunker over.

3:05pm- At the same time, Grover lowers.

3:38pm- Grover drives away

4:43pm- The LR11000 drives away from the OLM

5:35pm- Small crane moves into the area that the LR11000 was sitting

7:34pm- Chopsticks lowered. Indicating all of the big lifts on the right side and behind the OLM are finished

8:04pm- Extension piece (?) lifted back over towards the OLM.

11:00pm- Pretty quiet evening from what we can see. I’m sure the welders are hard at work. I’ll be watching for more rebar to go in the pit to signify that they are done and the pipes are ready to be buried.

I’m really impressed by how quickly the plate is getting assembled. I didn’t expect the manifolds to get added for another week or so, and now they’re at 2 / 3.

I’m not sure what the bottleneck is at the moment. Once everything is lifted in place they can move B9 over, but they might want to wait until they hit stage adapter is added.

B9 could go through spin prime tests without the plane being ready, and the plate can get tested without all deluge water & gas tanks present. We’re also it sure how far along the other OLM repairs are (cryo pipes are still being replaced). So there’s a ton of stuff happening in parallel.

6:59pm- Starts lowering pipe to the back left side OLM

7:47pm- Small crane lifts a short piece of pipe next to the bigger piece the LR11000 lifted over

7:51pm- Short piece swung back away

9:00pm- Looks like some work on the lid for the cryo pipe vault. Some people going in and out of the ring around the OLM. They’re hiding what we really want to see behind the tarps though.

Hi all,

I've put together some code on on Val Town that easily allows auto-publishing videos on Youtube channels to a Lemmy community.

It's simple enough that hopefully anyone should be able to set it up, and Val Town has a free tier which should be enough for anyone to publish a few feeds for free. There's a "README" on top showing how it's used.

Anyway, let me know what you think! If you end up using it, I'd love to get some thoughts on how easy it was to set up etc.

Anyway, let me know what you think! If you end up using it, I'd love to get some thoughts on how easy it was to set up etc.

 

With the custom Reddit clients now all cut off, but the r/SpaceX subreddit still going strong, we might want to re-evaluate what the channel here on Lemmy means.

It started out as a temporary refuge while the subreddit went dark, but at least I myself am still interested in building a community here.

Feel free to discuss the below points individually in the comments (though I don't expect high participation, any discussion is of course welcome).

Lemmy and/or Reddit

I think rather than positing this channel as the successor of r/reddit, we should just make it an independent SpaceX interest channel, since both will exist side by side.

Mods

It's unlikely this place will need active moderation for quite some time, but it would still be useful to have mods for e.g. stickying threads, updating the sidebar

@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works and @agildehaus@sh.itjust.works haven't been seen in a while. Are you still interested in modding? Do we want to add extra mods?

I'll reach out to to threelonmusketeers on Reddit if we don't get a reply here.

Starbase update threads

These will probably be the most interesting posts on here, but we don't really have the manpower to keep the huge initial post with resources up to date. Having it as a plain copy/paste of the r/SpaceX one also feels a bit disingenuous since we don't really "own" that content.

I'd suggest making the initial post simpler, cutting out most of the stuff (unless someone volunteers to make something similar, and keep it up to date), and just linking to the most recent r/SpaceX threads.

I'm not sure if there's a way for multiple people to edit a post, but that could be useful for these long-lived threads.

Sub rules / guidelines

I don't think we need anything here right now.

Automation

Given the sub has low activity right now, how do we feel about adding some automation of content? Examples I can think of:

  • Auto-posting of road closures in the Starbase thread
  • Auto-posting of some high-quality content, like CSI Starbase videos.

I could take a stab at implementing the road closure one, if there's interest.

Anyway, let me know what you think, either about these specific points or the channel in general.

 

Tried to post this as an image, but just getting “file did not match pattern” or so, alas…
