However, apparently there's no safety of flight issue. It's not like F1 1st stage could run out of cold gas for correction: it uses the turbopump exhaust for roll control. So the best would be not to tinker with the control system and fix this on flights after 005.ザイツェヴhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164033061112816744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19254804.post-28785591267228765472008-08-07T11:14:00.000-07:002008-08-07T11:14:00.000-07:00What about the rotation cw and ccw?

Actually, how close is vehicle 4 to completion?Rick (RocketScience) Kwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070170710369946205noreply@blogger.com
