Måste ses ju. Antagligen ser det likadant ut med Block 5, men ändå...

Snyggare

Om det blir start idag, kan ni kolla om jag har rätt i det som skrevs i tråden Falcon 9 Block 5.
Måste jobba tills det börjar regna. Har ej tid att kolla.

Ny tid: 22.42 (svensk tidszon)

Leg 2.0
No more aluminum grid fins
Elon confident that full reusability of the Second Stage is achievable.
Gaining data about 2nd stage entry now. They transmit to the Iridium constellation
Will add thermal protection system to 2nd stge
Fuel costs $300,000-400,000
first stage 60 percent of cost, 2nd stage 20, fairing 10, everything else 10
