Rocket -> thinnest lightest sheet of stainless you can get away with with internal ribs.I'm not a rocket scientist, or a grain silo owner, however I am an observer of technology. I can't rationalize how its not possible to create a stainless steel surface without dents?View attachment 472926
Expect mk3-4 to look less wrinkly/dented as each ring will be one piece.Rocket -> thinnest lightest sheet of stainless you can get away with with internal ribs.
Silo -> thick steel
Hopper likely dented more due to the cryo fuel shrinking the structure.
Wow, thanks for posting. I did not know Casey before this. Man, does someone ever know how to write...

Just noticed a RUD of Starship 1:

Loss of integrity during pressure test.
Looks like the weld holding the last 2 rings let loose.
Yes, not so silky smooth anymore. Bit disappointing, it did not hold it pressure at cryogenic temperatures.Loss of integrity during pressure test.

Pure guess: reweld perhaps removing another layer of two rings first. Needs a new done assembly. Vapor out the bottom could indicate the center flow tube (or under done) failed also.Any news on whether this is a "weld it back together" type of problem, or is this a "rebuild the facility and rocket from scratch" type of problem? Or is that 'rebuild the water tower' from scratch
Ummm gyrosYes, not so silky smooth anymore. Bit disappointing, it did not hold it pressure at gyro-temperatures.
