This week at Starbase the hot topic was test tanks, with 3 tanks present at the Massey Outpost, two of them being put through cryo testing, and one of them failing. Meanwhile, in other space news, RocketLab has a test tank failure of their own, Stoke Space blows up a test tank on purpose, the Artemis II SLS is rolled out to the pad, and we review the latest batch of Cape Canaveral flyover photos from Greg Scott.
Thanks for watching this week's Avid Space Update!
