We now now max pressure the tank can hold and the damage a rupture might do.” discuss order hn newest lmilcin|6 years ago Well, we know max pressure THAT PARTICULAR TANK could hold.Don't get too excited about the damage, in space it does not matter much, the crew is screwed anyway. taneq|6 years ago Good news, everyone! Baneofbatman|6 years ago Ah so this wasn't an accident? They needed to know the pressure limits so they purposely blew the bulkhead? CydeWeys|6 years ago Unlikely.But they have learned to be more careful with the welds going forward. Though, admittedly, they only used panel welding on the first prototype and have already switched it up for the second one. unknown|6 years ago [deleted] hsnewman|6 years ago It clearly was an accident, why would they put 3 rocket engines in it if they were going to stress test the tank?
