Wow guys, it’s bitter sweet, but my Avionics career at @SpaceX has come to an end! Starting Monday, I’m moving onto the #Starship Engineering team as a Payload Specialist. This is a huge promotion, very exciting, but i’m gonna miss all my hard working buddies in Avionics! ❤️‍🩹 🚀

What is everyone’s favorite #Starship payload bay door concepts? I actually don’t know what it’s going to look like in the future. I am interested to see what the community thinks looks good!

@AJamesMcCarthy We’re definitely gonna need an opening that big for #LUVOIR and future space station modules. Part of me wonders if the door should hinge the opposite direction though, so that supersonic flow doesn’t try to peel the door open. Hinges on top kinda kills the shark vibe though…

@tibininin Fun fact, if electron landed propulsively there would be no gas generator exhaust that you see on the left side of the exhaust plume. This is cause the Rutherford engine combustion cycle does not use a gas generator, all pumps are electrically driven so all gasses exit the nozzle

@LabPadre My grandpa asked me how this rig would move if the raptor engine lit. Assuming the combined weight of cyber truck, the raptor engine, and the trailer are around 10,000lbs, the rig would experience about 60gs of acceleration and would reach mach 1 in just over half a second.

@AJamesMcCarthy @8lackPrince On this train of thought, imagine space tug starship with no sea level engines. Heck imagine space tug booster with no sea level engines. You can do some crazy stuff when you delete earth gravity, re-entry, landing, and aerodynamic drag from the equation.
