3:45:43its very thin to minimize weight
3:45:46It would be too heavy if it didnt have 33 engines to lift it
3:45:48It's probably mostly titanium

3:45:53Plasma can't melt stainless steel
3:45:57Steel's fairly light anyway.
3:46:10it's light but super expensive
3:46:11It's really thin stainless steel
3:46:11As long as it's not made of steel beams
3:46:13The benefit of aluminum is that its easier to machine
3:46:14titanium is lighter and has the trademark bluing
3:46:14@King_Elsydeon i wouldve assumed cooking pans werent space grade but idk
3:46:18You can cut out pockets in metal so they look like a waffle and it actually keeps its strength while being lighter. Fun fact

3:46:22me listening to this music in the club
3:46:22shina may have black hair but that brain is blonde
3:46:24Shiina is not a metallurgist
3:46:24naruhodo ne (doesnt naruhodo)
3:46:25like less than 5 milimeters thick
3:46:26stainless steel is far cheaper

3:46:29Rocket fuel can't melt steel beams
3:46:33:_shiinaSadbee::_shiinaSadbee::_shiinaSadbee:
3:46:36Bee's are engineers so Sad Bee will know
3:46:37it is just stainless steel, special cryogenic-resistant kind

3:46:45So the rocket is also rated to stop small munitions fire?
3:46:46they usually have to use a wide variety of alloys to prevent vacuum welding
