Mashable: Track NASA’s Roman Space Telescope on its long cruise to deep space. “As the new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope heads for deep space, the public can follow its three‑month trip in near-real time with NASA’s online tracker. The spacecraft launched on Sunday, Aug. 30, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. It’s now cruising on its own toward its final orbit […]

I have been building rockets with a friend's son since he was 4. Now 12 years old he won a purple ribbon (Grand Champion) at the #minnesota state fair for his slightly enlarged "Big Bertha". A friend and I made a parts set and he assembled and painted it. The original is an #estes rocket from the 60s, a little over a foot tall. His version is a bit over 8 ft. We will fly it next weekend.

Vor neuem Versuch sollen nun einige wenige Triebwerke getauscht werden.

Imho haben die wieder neuen Raptoren (V3 Mk was weiß ich) noch keine ausreichend gute Zuverlässigkeit erreicht ..

und/oder

.. das Zünden eines solch größen Triebwerksclusters ansich birgt zusätzliche Probleme (Akustik, Drücke, Fluidmechanik, Gasdynamik, Hydraulik, Treibstoffdistribution, ..) , die momentan nicht beherrscht werden.
