Why does the side view look like the rocket is leaning quite a bit to one side? Optical illusion or bent leg?

It looks like the landing legs are adjusting for a slanted deck? If so that is impressive!

As the LOX warms up it would expand, requiring the ship to vent as the pressure rises? No?

yes I did mean warm up !!! ;-) - - - Updated - - - I think they are aborting the launch until tomorrow. - - - Updated - - - Nope, they announced the incorrect date, its go 4 launch!

Clock reset to 10+ minutes, waiting for range issue to clear. I wonder how long they can hold before the LOX cools to much for launch?

There is so little news out of Ryno I get the feeling its DOA. Either they ran our of money or they ran into an insurmountable problem...

Fixed it? SpaceX Readies Rocket for Saturday Launch | International Space Fellowship

Electric Microcycle I'd love to see Tesla tackle this! RYNO Motors

Well, I figured hitching a ride on a Falcon would be too bitter a pill to swallow for Orbital! But then its entirely possible that SpaceX could not meet a promised launch date considering they only made about half of their expected lanches this year. Private Cargo Spacecraft Gets New Rocket...

I think thats a pretty weak excuse. Elon is not know for being shy or letting anybody trash his projects. I can only assume Orion is actually better suited for deep space as all the latest articles state.

I would like to see an official rebuttal to this claim about Orion being more deep space capable than Dragon V2. If it really is as capable I would have thought Elon would have blasted it out ot the media? Why the silence?

I keep hearing in articles about the new Orion space craft, that the Dragon V2 is not built for deep space. I'm assuming they are talking about the crafts electronics and possible other equipment's resilience to radiation? Oh, and I guess this radiation shileding would apply to humans on...

Just checked the Launch Manifest and see that SpaceX has removed all the dates from the future missions? It did look weird that they were missing most of the launches...... The Track record of F1.1 is fantanstic in that they are 100% successful so far. Not so good if you look at promissed vs...

That would be some serious crow eating for Orbital!

Anteras Article Maybe Orbital could book a few Dragon flights while they retool for a new engine? ;-)
