Can we talk about how @elonmusk is going to launch booster/ship 4/20 to orbit, and how booster 3 which is on the pad right now is 69m tall with the engines?

Possible engine configuration for a 9-Raptor Starship. The extra 3 Rvacs do limit gimbal range, but it might not be a deal breaker. Do you think this works, they'll shrink Rvac nozzle size, or have them at a different configuration? -thanks to @thejackbeyer for the ref pics📸

So if you're still wondering if the High Bay is tall enough for stacking a full booster, the answer is, with that flat load spreader, yes. There's roughly 1.2m of headroom, and they technically only need ~40cm of clearance for stacking the final booster section. Tight! 🚀

Here's something interesting, I've updated volumes for SN3's tanks and fairing, and added a conservative usable volume estimate for the fairing. It's not surprising that @elonmusk wants to flatten those domes. There's a considerable unused space in engines bay as well.

@elonmusk quick question that everyone's curious about... Will B4 get a bottom fairing to protect the engines?

Hey @elonmusk my dude, do you have an ETA on when all this bird stuff will settle and we can go back to talking about starships to Mars? I'd definitely pay $8 for that good stuff 😎
