Beittil Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hmm, is it just me or... I expected it to have looked tighter tbh! If it is on full pressure... it looks like it could still pop out a bit more if somebody gave it a push from the inside! The left side looks much tighter than the right side.

BetaguyGZT Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Ahh good. The "ultra-conservative" 1-second and half-second bursts of air were not helpful ... as we likely figured. And how appropriate is this ... "Black Magic Woman" by Santana is playing on my Pandora mix.

Agreed, it doesn't look...finished. I guess that could be the promo shots vs what we can actually see, however pressurising could change it a lot.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted May 28, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted May 28, 2016 oh...that is it? For some reason I thought it would look smoother. This..... Doesn't really look like this.... But cool deal anyway. Just thought that last minute pressurization was going to make it look more like the above picture. Looks don't matter though...lightweight, expandable modules are definitely the future.

Likely they want to be able to view BEAM without it during the duration of the test. That cover isn't critical, so eh.
