@DJSnM @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Electric power for booster & ship is needed even when engines aren’t running & incremental power draw of TVC isn’t too bad. We have local supercaps on each engine to deal with power spikes. — PolitiTweet.org

@Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Enabling engines to take the heat without shrouds might save over 10 tons, all things considered. Shrouds are also a risk in that fuel leaks could be contained by the shroud, forming a MOX bomb. Booster is purging all 33 engine shrouds in flight to prevent this. — PolitiTweet.org

@PPathole @Erdayastronaut @SpaceX @Caspar_Stanley @IzanRamos2002 Some small tubes & wiring need to be nested in a bigger tube for thermal protection, kinda like conduit in a house. Engines themselves & booster base are extremely robust. High strength stainless steel is bulletproof to a handgun at ~2.5mm thickness. Booster dome is 4mm. — PolitiTweet.org
