Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by SpaceAholic: [B]Should be an interesting one... SpaceX SN8 to [URL=https://phys.org/news/2020-09-spacex-sn8-feet-week.html]launch and fly to 60,000 feet[/URL]. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]SN8 (unlike its predecessors) will also be fitted with flaps to assist with steering and a nosecone, which will be used in the future to hold cargo or people. The addition of both, Musk notes, will give the rocket a look much like the final design. The plan also calls for turning off the three engines during the initial stage of a descent and controlled landing — the rocket will perform a belly flop routine to slow its descent for several minutes and then the engines will be restarted, allowing the rocket to land in an upright position.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
