Why did SpaceX keep Starship’s Grid Fins out on ascent?
Everyday Astronaut
The launch he's talking about happened last April. This video showed up while I was whiling away the afternoon watching YouTube Shorts, the greatest time sucker since the invention of tiddly winks. I like this video because it shows the grid fins in action, it shows how ginormous they are and there is also a clip of the central group of rocket motors swiveling on their gimbals. They used to use hydraulics to move them but they have since changed to electric actuators. No, not more Tesla motors.
