Good thing one of the day's many failures didn't take the rocket on a course over Port Isabel or Matamoros. Someone really needs to explain why the flight was permitted to continue after the hydraulics were lost.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoIt wasn't. There was a 40 second delay between FTS signal and explosion.
- HarryHirsch 3y agoThrust vector control was lost 85 seconds in. Then they continued onwards for several minutes more, and even then range safety couldn't terminate the flight for 40 seconds. That's not a good sign, also because anyone capable will either have been fired or left on their own accord a long time ago.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoIt was within the flight corridor during that time.
- HarryHirsch 3y agoLet's skirt as closely to the edge of the safety envelope as we can. That'll work!
- bryanlarsen 3y agoTVC was lost at 85 seconds, FTS was initiated before 90 seconds.
