I haven’t heard any news on active cooling systems recently. Is thermal protection the biggest hurdle? The ships on flights 4 through 6 all survived to splashdown.
At the moment, the bigger issue seems to be whatever vibrations/oscillations caused the destruction of the ships on flights 7 and 8 before they reached orbit.
Either way, I’m looking forward to the next flight test.
I haven’t heard anything for a while and I was just asking for an update if anyone knows anything.
It seemed to me they changed something to cause those vibrations/oscillations so to fix it they could just change it back. Like to me it seems solvable.
But in regards to the reusability of the heat shield, I haven’t heard of any progress? So wouldn’t it still be regarded as the biggest issue?

But they didn’t survive intact did they?
