  1. Epoxy don't work on cryo temperature they used cryo rated binder.

  2. They load warmer helium and let LOX to chill it in the tank. It is a much slower procedure but with warm helium there is no chance for your LOX to solidify. The problem was chilled helium expanding into the COPV will rob heat from the surrounding LOX causing solidification.

  3. Highly unlikely the previous failure happens much slowly. Orders of magnitude slower. The latest failure all happen within 96 millisecond. In previous failure they have enough time so that acoustic triangulation is possible to pinpoint failure point.

  4. Jett Quasar It is not similar. It's like describing firecracker exploding and soda can popping similar and wondering if soda can pops because there is a firecracker inside.

  5. Your rocket engine will fire 10% longer and 10% harder. So if you work out the rocket equation even with the 10% more mass it is actually a net gain.

  6. Spacex will probably switch to no liner carbon fiber tanks that they are developing for ITS.

  7. Probably microscopic scale. LOX is known to act like pressure sensitive high explosive when combined with organic material.
