Not #RocketScience : Fixing 🔧 the #Centaur V is relatively simple: #ULA is making the top of the dome a little bit thicker. “The corrective action is a pretty low-tech thing,” Bruno said. “We will simply put in another layer of stainless steel" https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/space/united-launch-alliance-aims-vulcan-first-flight-year-end
#Centaur V upper stages have been built using #automated laser arc welding 🤖. #SpaceX’s #Starship also employs this welding technique. #ULA will revert back to gas tungsten arc welding. Bruno says it’s a wider weld which can be more forgiving, even though it is done #manually 🖐️. During a test firing on 📆 June 30 one of the #BE4 engines exploded 💥 at a #BlueOrigin testing site. Full vehicle certification is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 📆 2024 https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/07/vulcan-centaur-anomalies/

#Aviationweek 📆 April 18, 2023 #ULA has been investigating the source of a #hydrogen leak. The hydrogen combustion event caused an overpressurization 💥that ruptured the #Centaur V forward dome. https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/commercial-space/sierra-still-tracking-year-end-dream-chaser-space-debut

#ULA's #Centaur V upper stage is probably damaged. They don't call it a #RUD 💥, but an #anomaly. A video 🎥 of the accident recorded by #BlueOrigin hasn't been published since 📆 March 29 https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/04/ula-continues-investigation-of-centaur-stage-anomaly

#OTD Winifred Welles, American #Poet, is born.
In her dark #Ballad, “Miss Calkins & the #Centaur,” a woman kills a #Beast while blackberry-picking.
"So far from home, so close to harm,
The #Spinster's thoughts, though stiff with fears,
Recalled the basket on her arm
& that it held her #Garden shears."
Miss Calkins keeps the murder a secret & the #Poem ends:
"Where jellies glistened, glassed & clear,
W/ #Apple-gold & #Currant-flame
No somber #Blackberry gleamed that year."

The new scene for my comic is only four pages long, yet it's probably going to be one of the most detailed in terms of linework.
Later on, I mean. What I'm showing here is peanuts compared to the Cork cityscape I'm determined to draw.

Is it time for a proper #introduction? Probably. I'm Simon and I'm a #history #teacher in #Sussex, #UK. I enjoy #sailing and am the proud owner of a #Westerly #Centaur, based in #Essex. I tend to get a little obsessed with the news, especially #UKPolitics - although this has diminished since abandoning Twitter. Other passions are #running, #swimming, #reading, #writing and playing the #piano. My #Christian faith is an important facet of my identity. I'm also blessed with Type 1 #Diabetes.
