Ngemva kokuphumelela yerokhethi enzima i-Falcon, i-SpaceX ngokokuqala ngqa ikwazile ukubamba ingxenye yekhala. Isakhiwo sahlukaniswa nesikebhe futhi santanta kahle sabuyela ebusweni bomhlaba, lapho sabanjwa ngenetha elikhethekile elifakwe esikebheni.
Ikhala lerokhethi liyi-bulbous elivikela amasathelayithi agibele ngesikhathi sokukhuphuka kokuqala. Ngenkathi ingaphandle, i-fairing ihlukaniswa izingxenye ezimbili, ngayinye ebuyela ebusweni beplanethi. Ngokuvamile izingxenye ezinjalo azifanele ukusetshenziswa futhi. Kodwa-ke, i-CEO ye-SpaceX u-Elon Musk wayenentshisekelo yokuthola indlela yokubamba izingxenye ezihambayo ngaphambi kokuba zishaye amanzi olwandle, okungaba nomthelela omubi ku-rocket element.
Ukufeza lo mgomo, inkampani yathenga isikebhe esibizwa ngokuthi “uNksz. Tree" (igama lokuqala elithi Mr. Steven) futhi yahlomisa umkhumbi ngemishayo emine, okwakwelulelwa inetha elikhulu phakathi kwawo. Ingxenye ngayinye ye-fairing ifakwe isistimu yokuqondisa eyivumela ukuthi ibuyele eMhlabeni, kanye nezinjini ezihlangene namapharashuthi akhethekile asetshenziselwa ukulawula ukwehla.
Omunye kaMnu. Ukuhlolwa kokugcina kukaSteven kwe-West Coast fairing ngaphambi kokuthumela ngomkhumbi ukuya e-East Coast. Ilinde...

Le nkampani ibilokhu ihlola lolu hlelo lokudoba ama- fairing kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka odlule, kodwa kuze kube manje ayikakwazi ukubamba ngisho nengxenye eyodwa yombukiso, nakuba abaningi bedotshwe emanzini ngemva kokufika. Manje le nkampani isiphumelele okokuqala ngqa ekufezeni uhlelo lwayo, ibambe ingxenye yekhoni ngaphambi kokuthi ishaye amanzi.
I-fairing izohlolelwa ukufaneleka ukuze isetshenziswe ekuqaliseni kabusha. Njengoba ingxenye ayizange ithinte amanzi, kungacatshangwa ukuthi ochwepheshe be-SpaceX bazokwazi ukulungisa izingxenye ze-hardware zephaneli ukuze zisetshenziswe futhi. Uma esikhathini esizayo inkampani iqhubeka nokubamba izinto zamarokhethi ezibuyisiwe kunethiwekhi, le ndlela izovumela ukonga okubalulekile.
