Re: Starship is Go...

Report on Starship 7 and 8 failure:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/spacex-final … 06594.html

Fixes for Starship's upper stage came down to tightening some bolts at some of Ship's more critical junctures and improving the plumbing so flammable gases don't ignite when they aren't supposed to:

"Starship’s upper stage will receive additional preload on key joints, a new nitrogen purge system, and improvements to the propellant drain system. Future upgrades to Starship will introduce the Raptor 3 engine which will include additional reliability improvements to address the failure mechanism."

GW Johnson, No word from your job application? When I applied in 2016, it took them a couple weeks to respond, but they did respond. I wasn't hired because I'm not a US resident. They suggested I reapply if I ever become a resident. They should have at least given you a rejection response.
