Problems with the Falcon 9

March 26th, 2009 by Pecos Bill

My pard Elon says his big ol’ rocket hoss the Falcon 9 has problems with a cussed ornery fairing. A fairing? What in tarnation is a fairing? A easterner dude word for saddle? Me and Widowmaker durn’t need no saddle when we went sub-orbital.

Very amusing, sir. Baruch Spinoza’s view was that a fairing was an external encasement for a rocket’s payload that protected the payload from the rigors of ballistic launch through the terrestrial atmosphere. The fairing must be jettisoned once the rocket ventures beyond the atmosphere. Mr. Musk, I do not hesitate to assevere, is almost certainly perturbed by certain irregularities in the mechanism that jettisons the fairing, not, if I must put it so, with the fairing itself. Thank you, sir.
