SpaceX revealed What was exactly FLAPPING on S33 before Starship Flight 7 Exploded...
Exciting news!
Updates regarding S33 have been pouring in, and recent analyses reveal promising developments after a wave of concerns. So, what’s the latest?
Shifting gears to NASA, Bill Nelson has officially announced the end of his tenure, marking the dawn of a new chapter for the agency.
Meanwhile, Rocket Lab has landed a groundbreaking billion-dollar contract with the military, a major milestone for the company.
Let’s dive into all of this and more on today’s episode of Great SpaceX!

Flight 7 left a lasting impression, with fiery debris streaking across the sky. However, the conclusion of S33 didn’t meet the high expectations of SpaceX fans. Several issues arose, sparking discussions about the spacecraft’s performance and necessary improvements. One notable concern occurred during ascent, when a layer of the spacecraft appeared to loosen, raising questions about potential damage. A dark layer underneath suggested a possible hole, adding to the concerns about the spacecraft's integrity and the risks involved.

However, a closer examination of the incident, supported by recent analyses, revealed that these initial observations were misleading. The waving layer was not indicative of a structural flaw but rather a feature of the Ship’s design. Pre-launch images of the spacecraft show this area covered by black panels. Beneath one of these panels lies a small opening, likely intended for the future installation of the chopstick catch system. During the flight, this opening was temporarily sealed, possibly to protect sensitive components during reentry.
Upon further scrutiny, the irregular texture and shape of the area confirmed that the waving layer was a steel aero-cover panel. This panel was likely installed as a protective measure to shield critical areas such as the chopstick catch opening from extreme aerodynamic forces. The confusion arose because the panel’s color closely matched its surroundings, making it difficult to distinguish during flight. Unlike rigid stainless steel plates, such panels are designed to be flexible, which explains their visible movement under stress.
