â„á”á” Cᔞá”á¶șá”ᶫâžá”á” âïž@spaceflight which is impossible for a non-reusable design that launches every few months
Mike Bell@falken @spaceflight from the stream yesterday they said the rocket had a 2 week turnaround. I'd like to think it's true but the clients need to be there for it to work.
@mikebell @spaceflight turn what around? It's not reusable.
@falken @spaceflight I guess they meant the launchpad which is a bit of a shame. I'd assumed they meant at least some of the rocket but a bit of searching says no. There is SUSIE but it's only a proposal.
