There is a new flame deflection system that sprays water from a water cooled metal plate under the pad. There wasn't any damage from a recent static fire test, but that was only half power compared to liftoff thrust. We'll see how it fares against a real launch soon.
Never heard of it until the anime got announced. It seemed pretty average from the promo material. I am so glad I gave the anime a chance. Definitely a favorite, and once I finish catching up on the Vinland Saga manga I'm gonna start this one.
First thought it sounded like a scam because people were talking about it the same way people talked about crypto. Looked into it enough after the reddit api shenanigans that I wanted to make a lemmy account and I'm still learning new things about it.
Thanks to everyone posting in here, couldn't watch the webcast so it was good to catch up on everything that happened!
