| May 23, 2019 at 23:22 | comment | added | Moo | @OrganicMarble interesting, they dont have a negative aerodynamic effect (eg additional drag) if missing during launch? | |
| May 23, 2019 at 23:04 | comment | added | Organic Marble | @Moo in the top picture, the vehicle has already lifted off, and the paper covers have blown off. There's already a question about it. space.stackexchange.com/questions/33828/… | |
