      From: alain245@videotron.ca              Has anyone heard anything about the success or failure of the propellant       transfer experiment? It seems somewhat straightforward to do. But an       in-orbit refuelling of a rocket has never been done before. Things that       seem easy to do before they have been done can turn out much more       complicated once you actually try it. And this is a very important       technology for the exciting things that we hope will be done by       Starship. I don't care all that much about Starship being able to launch       satellites in Earth orbit. I'm much more excited about what can be done       with a refuelled Starship.                     Alain Fournier              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
