Can they be fished out and reused?

@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
No, they will be smashed beyond repair & corroded

Yeah, although hydrogen is not a great choice for a booster engine

Philip Sloss has spoken with Aerojet Rocketdyne for a deep dive into the multi-billion dollar NASA contract for numerous new RS-25 engines for SLS through to the end of the decade.
Here's his article!

It’s so tragic that these engines just crash into the ocean every flight

Roundabouts no problem, but dodging distracted human drivers very tricky!

Sabatier fuel plant for starship
Will this work Elon?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
Looks about right. Ice mining/refining on Mars & maximizing total system efficiency will be hard. CO2 is easy, as Mars atmosphere is mostly that. Also has good amount of N2, which is important for life.

Ooooo that's exciting!! I assume that'll be good practice for ISRU 🤔

In this case, just chilling the gas back to liquid

For methane they can use the sabatier process! Look that up and hopefully that'll give you an idea 👍
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
Yes, converts CO2 & H2O to CH4 & O2. Perfect for Mars!

Might be a dumb question, but is the methane flare's flame being out of a concern? Chat is freaking out about it haha
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · May 7, 2020
Flare stack flamed out. In a few weeks we’ll be recondensing methane using solar power, so no flare stack.

Tesla & SpaceX are the top two destinations for engineers, because you can have the most fun creating kickass technology! That’s why.

2002 - "SpaceX? What's that?"
2008 - "A privately funded rocket was lost on its way to space Saturday night, bringing a third failure in a row." - NY Times
SpaceX is bringing the dream of being a multiplanetary society closer and closer day by day... 🍾🎊

18 yrs ago today, a company that has changed the entire landscape of how we will access Space was founded! In just that time they delivered cargo to @Space_Station, put a @Tesla into space, landed/reused orbital boosters, landed/reused capsules, launched 🛰🛰,just to name a few!
Elon Musk

That was the whole company back then. Grew organically from a simple mariachi party in El Segundo.
