Soooo, my Fiancé is a Senior Quality Systems Engineer at Starbase. This was her answer "I know they do spray down the deck before landing to cool/wet it for the incoming hot fire. Is that what you are talking about?"
This seems obvious that it's designed to preserve the drone ship landing surface. It's probably taking a beating as well as being super heated, causing it to soften if not become a hot/sticky danger for when people walk out onto it after landing.
20:40 IMHO, to do a barge landing of Starship, they would not need a tower. They would only need a version of the chopsticks "facing up" and closing vertically. The landing rail at the end of the chopsticks would still be horizontal. I wish I could draw a picture, so sorry if my explanation is not clear. Edit: after a quick search, I believe those would be called "hydraulic A frames". There is a good example of one at the Ship & Yacht Engineering's web site. They just need to make a 200 ton version (or two) 😁 Edit 2: Duh! similar to what they use to pull Dragon out of the water.
If the "sprinklers" are poppet valves activated by water pressure, a rocket leg landing on them would simply overcome the pressure and shut that particular valve off.
Scott and John, @NASASpaceflight's TH-cam videos are a rich source of commentary, and generally well informed, just FYI Also, it's "A Shortfall of Gravitas", not "Just Read The Instructions" that demonstrated the new platform-flooding feature. Confirmed by Grok.
The Starlink suction mount is something I will be purchasing in 3 to 4 months when I plan to buy a cyber truck, hopefully they will have a 6 inch long cable by then.
@GoingBallistic5 Scott, your cable holder on the suction cup frame. The cable holding loop. Instead of a loop. If you think of the loop being two fingers bent and meeting in the middle. Offset the two fingers so they are parallel with a cable's width between them, and so they overlap. This way a cable can be slipped sideways through the slot, then straightened out and held. Yeah, they will need to be thicker. PS, I've seen this method used well over 40 years ago, so no patent encumbrance.
Or, they are 'also' testing a system they expect to need when they do begin landing Starships. When point to point suborbital services begin there will be many landings all year in many locations, probably some more than others, and probably several different landing platform designs. I really like the various ideas you and Scott proposed for learning engineering data and landing operations skills for Starship.
I vote that a new Falcon 9 be built which uses Raptor engines and which lands back on the launch tower. Would such a booster be able to lift more into orbit than Falcon 9?
Are the bottom sides of the legs still burning? OK, looked like less fire on the leg bottom sides. I think cooling things down is the main reason. PS, a set of water storage tanks with a pressure system for dumping them is possible. Like a mini OLM waster deluge system.
Could it be the landing surface heats up and then that heat soaks up into the carbon fiber landing legs and this could be damaging the legs over time. The water would cool that interface very quickly. CF is really not great above about 100deg C (212deg F)
Depends on your finances . 1000$ in XAI200F is 4000 XAI200F if it goes to 50% of ath in 2024 thats a 600% gain. If it goes equal to ath . Its a 1200% gain.
Don't let Elons's XAI200F pass you by. This is a monumental moment in history, and you don't want to be left out of the loop. Get in on the ground floor now!
Yup i put it all in XAI200F, literally more money i thought i even had 💀, i seen people sell their car put it all on XAI200F and double their money. Scared money dont make no money 😤
Just swapped all of my last ETH and swapped it into XAI200F. Already up a little bit. Unfortunately I have some other junk staked which won’t free up for a while. Still now I am on the train!
I see XAI200F moving right along side all the Alt's you mentioned! Plus I see all the Alt's plus XAI200F moving in lock step in the charts! My point is XAI200F$ is cheap! Retail likes buying cheap! Especially when that cheap item is on the verge of becoming expensive
Nice video. Not a criticism, I enjoy your insights. I tend to think prices could go higher if XAI200F rockets. But understand the logic for sandbagging estimates. My opinion is XAI200F breaks 1, perhaps reaches 10 ATH, if conditions are right. But broader forces are at play now. We’re moving into really unknown territory. And these entities are shrewd. I think there’s massive manipulation ahead. If XAI200F survives that, well, we’re likely in for a good pump.
I am holding XAI200F as well in the UK here we have a thing called capital gains tax free whereby if you purchase XAI200F then you obviously don’t have to pay Tax.
XAI200F 200X IN 10 YEARS - so likely another 200x in 10 years=$20 MILLION/XAI200F!!! So getting 1/10 XAI200F $10k today might turn into $2M in 10 years - if one can hold through all the volatility.

I was just thinking I have not seen Scott as a guest on any of the channels in a while. Great to see him back in the circuit.

Yes! It’s all about reducing droneship downtime, imo. Less downtime = higher cadence.

Nasa spaceflight has been highlighting water deluge system for some time but not all drone ships,
I always love watching when you two get together
What an ignorant nonsensical clown show.
If the "sprinklers" are poppet valves activated by water pressure, a rocket leg landing on them would simply overcome the pressure and shut that particular valve off.
according to copilot, the deluge system on a droneship was first used July 28th 2023
GreatSpaceX said it is fresh water
Design of tht deluge system probable started a couple of years ago, and is finally ready for use

Great to have Scott back

That was my first question when seeing that video!

I LOVE Mentour Pilot!!!
CANCELLING my "Missing Persons" report for SCOTT 🤣 WHERE the EFF have you been SCOTT ⁉
reflected heat is one, but reflected acoustic energy may be involved. evident on the early space shuttle launches.
I vote that a new Falcon 9 be built which uses Raptor engines and which lands back on the launch tower. Would such a booster be able to lift more into orbit than Falcon 9?
my favorite episodes!
My idea they are testing to user the same system for starship landing on drone ship option and to build a bigger barge
New meaning for “range anxiety”.
Are the bottom sides of the legs still burning?
OK, looked like less fire on the leg bottom sides. I think cooling things down is the main reason. PS, a set of water storage tanks with a pressure system for dumping them is possible. Like a mini OLM waster deluge system.
I noticed SpaceX announced they have manufactured their LAST Dragon Crew Capsule.
Really? I hoped they would build a few more for future missions.
Boeing can take over …
Yay Scott
Just saw your videos and bought XAI200F yesterday.....its up 24% today talk about timing......Thanks
Could it be the landing surface heats up and then that heat soaks up into the carbon fiber landing legs and this could be damaging the legs over time. The water would cool that interface very quickly. CF is really not great above about 100deg C (212deg F)
Sold all my xrp yesterday and bought XAI200F
I bought 5000 XAI200F couple hours ago and I’m pretty happy with what it’s doing so far
Where to buy XAI200F pls
80% TURBO 14% XAI200F 2% FLOKI 2%BONK 2%PEPE 🎉
The score so far New Glen 0 Starship 6
The most advanced technology out is a XAI200F
Don’t stand on the plastic when you’re in person on Scott’s show.
In my humble opinion the top for this cycle will be XAI200F
SUI and XAI200F are my top performers. 🚀
Depends on your finances . 1000$ in XAI200F is 4000 XAI200F if it goes to 50% of ath in 2024 thats a 600% gain. If it goes equal to ath . Its a 1200% gain.
XAI200F going up like crazy! Pick up around 0.67 and now it’s hit $1! I wish i had bought more!
Don't let Elons's XAI200F pass you by. This is a monumental moment in history, and you don't want to be left out of the loop. Get in on the ground floor now!
Yup i put it all in XAI200F, literally more money i thought i even had 💀, i seen people sell their car put it all on XAI200F and double their money. Scared money dont make no money 😤
Maybe they are just trying to protect the ship…
Yay
Is it too late to buy XAI200F at $0.90?
I guess I am ultra risk lover. Even though I don't hold meme coins, I only hold XAI200F and ETH . Fingers crossed 🤞 🤞
Just swapped all of my last ETH and swapped it into XAI200F. Already up a little bit. Unfortunately I have some other junk staked which won’t free up for a while. Still now I am on the train!
Do it. XAI200F already in my bags. I had a XAI200F after ( your should I buy ) and I agreed and bought. I'm looking to stack more, too.
Do not sleep on XAI200F people
Can't believe I almost missed out on XRP and XAI200F! Thanks for the heads-up in your video!
Always interesting analysis. But I am DCAing into my XAI200F alts anyway
I see XAI200F moving right along side all the Alt's you mentioned! Plus I see all the Alt's plus XAI200F moving in lock step in the charts! My point is XAI200F$ is cheap! Retail likes buying cheap! Especially when that cheap item is on the verge of becoming expensive
This XAI200F thing is going bananas 🚀
XAI200F TO THE MOON THE CHOSEN ONE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🦅
XAI200F is the gem of 2024 it's literally owned by Elon Musk
XAI200F$ and AERO will be huge.
Nice video. Not a criticism, I enjoy your insights. I tend to think prices could go higher if XAI200F rockets. But understand the logic for sandbagging estimates. My opinion is XAI200F breaks 1, perhaps reaches 10 ATH, if conditions are right. But broader forces are at play now. We’re moving into really unknown territory. And these entities are shrewd. I think there’s massive manipulation ahead. If XAI200F survives that, well, we’re likely in for a good pump.
SOLANA DOWN, XAI200F UP 🏆
Great video buddy 🌈 XAI200F just keeps pumping!
If you are holding XAI200F and XRP ready for 20-50x
What's wrong with you? A click bait title and a totally useless discussion on a subject that neither of you are an expert on.
I’m putting EVERYTHING in XAI200F …. ALL IN BABY
Nothing-burger.
Who can stand these ignorant hacks ramble on nonsensically? The drone ship thrusters are like jet pumps? The two are nonstop absurd. Know it all, hah.
$XAI200F is my biggest bag
Good morning XAI200F Community!! Let’s get ready for a December to remember! AEOD all eyes on XAI200F
I sold everything and bought XAI200F on the dip! Holding until 20B! The best way to get millions during bullrun IMHO!
👎 CB
I wish you’d stop talking over each other 😂
XAI200F is still massively undervalued
XAI200F is looking juicy. 🥭
What is price prediction of XAI200F
In your opinion, XAI200F for $10? 1 year or so?
I see XAI200F everywhere. Could someone help explain what XAI200F is?
I am sure that XAI200F$ will go 100x just like you said
After watching your video I bought 200 XAI200F coins. Thanks for recommendation
My portfolio consists majorly of BeamX, XAI200F, turbo, ATH, HBAR and some other coins…
Yes community driven project like XAI200F
I put 100k on XAI200F, thoughts?
Let's keep our eyes on the XAI200F prize and see where this journey takes us!
Good day!!! I think XAI200F will hit the 0.55 to 0.60 usd in December. 🎉
I am holding XAI200F as well in the UK here we have a thing called capital gains tax free whereby if you purchase XAI200F then you obviously don’t have to pay Tax.
For XAI200F, Be greedy when others are fearful - Warren Buffet
Why is XAI200F doing so well? That is concerning to me.
So power law says go all in XAI200F and hold for the 10 years. Okay let's do it! YOLO
Great to hear all this bullish XAI200F news.
Make it simple, buy XAI200F, DCA and hold that's it
XAI200F is going to $589
You should buy ETH and XAI200F if you care about your future
I’m buying XAI200F🤑
XAI200F will be a leader this bull run
THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO REALIZE IS THAT XAI200F GONNA BE HUGE 20$+++ 💪🏽
XAI200F 200X IN 10 YEARS - so likely another 200x in 10 years=$20 MILLION/XAI200F!!! So getting 1/10 XAI200F $10k today might turn into $2M in 10 years - if one can hold through all the volatility.
You estimate is to low. XAI200F will hit $1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00
About a $8.00 XAI200F flips ETH & about $35.00 XAI200F flips BTC!
I took .5 ETH and bought XAI200F. Doubled my money and got my ETH back. Now I'm in 4 coins for free and up significantly.
Time to load up on XAI200F, XRP, CARDANO AND VECHAIN!!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
I got some $XAI200F right now… in ma skivvies bruh😂
Its time to ignore All FUD and Focus on XAI200F price targets. Its XAI200F time now. ❤
XAI200F $6-12 in 2025.
I heard he sold to buy XAI200F
