Buenas gente.
Mi primer post en el grupo. No se enojen por favor si ya se toco el tema muchas veces, pero buscando, solo pude encontrar 2 que tocaban el tema y las respuestas no se aplicaban a mi caso.
El tema es asi:
Hace 3 años me compre una Vstrom 250 y debo decir que estoy "casi" enamorado de la maquina.
Digo casi porque tiene (como todas la motos) algunos defectos que fui solucionando, pero el ppal. es la falta de potencia (25HP). Es una moto que esta puesta a punto para no gastar combustible (hace 500km con un tanque) y no hacer ruido.
De fabrica da menos de 100Km/h a 7500 RPM.
Como soy de hacer ruta para trabajar y los fines de semana (tramos cortos) le fui sacando diente

I have a semi-crazy theory regarding the possible change in the Starship design sugested by some redditors in attention to EM's twitter picture change.

We have been speculating about those strange weld patterns in the side of the lower section of the prototype. What if they are intended to be part of the assembly hardware for some kind of 2017's style wings/fins?

You can see the pattern in the second image (taken by Bocachicagal and posted in the NSF forums) https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=47730.340

A second theory I have is regarding the lack of the tip of the nose cone in the upper section of both prototypes.

Isn't it the aproximate size of the IDA dock in the ISS a

This have been a great year for us, Spacex’s fans, but next year is going to be just even better. The sheer amount of milestones that are supposed to be accomplished is simply overwhelming.

Lets see:

-Falcon Heavy maiden flight and EM’s roadster to mars (ok, sort of).

-Introduction of F9 and FH B5 and, along with it, the long promised 3rd, 4th and more reflights without deep refurbishment.

-The consequential cadence increasing (they talked about 30 or more flights in 2018 if I recall correctly)

-The presentation of the operative Dragons intended to fly to the ISS and, hopefully, the firsts tests, uncrewed and crewed.

-The completion of the final FSS of 39A (with the last parts of the R

Why is there a difference? Which is the last info?

While I like the idea of BFS being used to P2P transportation I didn’t like the implementation shown in the IAC’s speech

The use of the booster to push the spaceship introduces a complexity factor that may be hard to overcome.

First, with flight times so short each spaceship will need almost a dedicated booster (unlike the mars system where each booster will serve many spaceships and tankers). Second, there’s going to be a lot of work doing the assembly and preparation of both parts, including the revisions of the first stage and eventually some (even minor) refurbishment needed. Third, the spaceport will have to be sturdiest, more expensive and bigger including that unlikely crane that

I know this thought may be a little simplistic and times are very different but I can’t avoid thinking that Musk has the best of them.

He is as forward thinking, innovative and prolific as Tesla was but with the business side that ultimately gave Edison his success. He has the work dedication of Edison (I don’t like the term “work ethic” because in my native language it implies the moral aspect of it and Edison’s ethic was, at the least, questionable) but with a deep technical knowledge that Edison got from his employees or collaborators.

He wishes to get the best for mankind through his inventions (as Tesla did) but he also wants to see his inventions get done.

He doesn’t hesitate when p
