The V3 booster and test stand did not RUD, but there's significant damage. It seems likely that this booster will need to be scrapped.

Starlink Group 10-23 launch out of SLC-40 in Florida is currently scheduled for 2025-06-23 05:58 UTC or 2025-06-23 01:58 local time (EDT). Booster 1069-25 to land on A Shortfall of Gravitas.

We shouldn't overreact, as Berger points out none of the relevant appointments have been made. It's still a stunning report with huge implications. Here's the full quote:

To be clear we are *far* from anything being settled, but based on what I'm hearing it seems at least 50-50 that NASA's Space Launch System rocket will be canceled. Not Block 1B. Not Block 2. All of it. There are other ways to get Orion to the Moon.

I'm getting confused by all the numbers involved. Here's my current understanding:

• Bolt pattern needs to be an exact match (ex/ 5x114)
• Diameter needs to be exact match, but there's some flexibility with width (ex/ 17x7 and 17x8 are probably interchangeable)

Things I'm confused about:

• Does offset need to be an exact match? (ex/ ET45 vs ET42?)
• How careful do I need to be with tire size, if the rim is correct? For example, if my car originally had 225/50R17, can I use a 225/65R17 tire?

Is there a good website for explaining these details? I've spent time on various wheel database websites, and they only give a list of sizes without explaining why they're compatible or not.

Thanks!
