hydraulic pin that failed to retract on an umbilical arm
They were probably button mashing that retract command
Teething issues on the 2nd tower. Dang.
Great, Musk has now adopted the V naming scheme for rockets from the Nazis?
Nah, they call it "Block 1/2/3" for the versions, but media often uses V1/2/3 for version since it's easier to understand
Generally v* for versioning is used a lot, Germans just had the v stand for vergeltungswaffe because it sounds badass or some shit. Wouldn't be surprised if Elon adapted this naming though
If this flight doesn’t go well, SpaceX has a “large pipeline of V3 ships and boosters in the factory,” Musk wrote on X.
Is what I am referring to mostly.
And a capital V is a bit different from using v3 for example.
I am all for calling out dog whistles but I cannot hear or see that one.
Its probably something Musk finds "funny".
Legitimately is funny if people are so paranoid that they start to believe it. Sad bit is that musk gives good reasons to believe bad things about them.
The V has stood for version for about two centuries
Oh lol missed that
