Didn't they demate during ordnance install last time, IIRC?

Maybe I should have said arming the FTS.

During the first launch, it was discovered that Butch didn't use enough dynamite.
Butch used enough dynamite to bring down the typical rocket, but not enough to bring down the Austenitic Stainless Steel monster rocket that is obviously armored and built for alien combat. We could see the holes poked through the tanks and the venting gasses escaping through them. But those puny holes weren't enough. This time, Butch will not let Sundance impune his quantity of dynamite. We have four Beatles walking guys worth of dynamite. If all goes well, next time won't require a fifth Beatle walking guy. |

4 Beatles worth of dynamite. The twin engine F-16 is cute too. |

It’s… probably not as bad as you think it is.

Looks like a new approach to slowing them down. Link
Deaths, amputations, and serious injuries because SpaceX is going so fast they don't care about safety Reuters documented at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries at Musk’s rocket company: crushed limbs, amputations, electrocutions, head and eye wounds and one death. SpaceX employees say they’re paying the price for the billionaire’s push to colonize space at breakneck speed. View Quote The death was 2014 when a guy.... LeBlanc, a relatively new employee, offered a solution to hold down the load: He sat on it. View Quote |

LeBlanc, a relatively new employee, offered a solution to hold down the load: He sat on it. View Quote View Quote Aviation results in bad injuries, so why should it be surprising to see it at SpaceX? I ended up with a dislocated knee while working on an airport ramp. Could have also gotten a bad head injury, if I hadn't been wearing a heavy coat and thought quickly enough to tuck my chin into my chest and let my shoulders take the impact when I was thrown across the ramp. The second time I put out an avgas fire with a handheld fire extinguisher, a guy (whose wife worked in the Vanderbilt burn ward) walked up to me a moment later and said "you're supposed to run away from fire, not toward fire". I couldn't really argue against his logic, but the fire needed to be put out before it spread. Then there's the guys that seem to have a habit of ignoring safety procedures, because they think those procedures are stupid, but it seems like it's usually somebody else that gets injured by their stupidity, and management is (for some reason) reluctant to remove them from the property. |

Any casualty is first transported to the band aid shack and if it's determined an ambulance is needed then one is called to the shack or they use their own for transport, or put the injured in to a taxi for a ride to the hospital if that patient is stable and not dying. |

Daring to do Mighty Things carry's risk.
Risk can not be eliminated. It can only be minimized. Not matter what, people will be injured and killed while doing anything at all... including doing nothing. People die lying in bed. Construction ... especially heavy steel construction will have injuries. It's just inherent. |

It's not meant as a criticism. It's just a statement of fact. Musk's ultimate plan/goal is to build a city on Mars. I imagine that thousands of people will die in that attempt, either en-route or on Mars. To me, that is totally worth it. |

I saw the first launch in person. Had a great time.
Really hoped to see the second launch in person but will be away if launches before Thanksgiving holiday is over. As much as I want to see it in person, I hope it launches soon. Perhaps the third launch will take place before April of next year. |

Missed the first launch, saw the abort the day before but did not stay the extra night. Hoped to make the second, but honestly my schedule sucks till December just playing the odds right now. If the delay continues - 50/50. If they manage to launch before December, probably not. Just came off of working 6 days a week, to add 10 12hr days till next Monday (today is a rain out)- then have to catch up with admin work that is due by the end of the month (a year's worth of admin work - 40hrs worth).
