76 u/777-300ER Feb 07 '18 They didn't. Elon has said they just mounted it and sent it out there. 16 u/[deleted] Feb 07 '18 Huh. I guess the increased psi isn't that much. 14 u/Naitso Feb 07 '18 It's just one more Bar of pressure difference for the tires. 2 u/iSlacker Feb 07 '18 You also have to take into account the extreme cold... Those tires are flat. 7 u/zzorga Feb 07 '18 Unlikely, the color black is great at absorbing solar radiation. 1 u/cmdrxander Feb 07 '18 And great at emitting thermal radiation. 6 u/Naitso Feb 07 '18 Remember that there is nothing that conveys heat away from the vehicle in space, just its blackbody radiation. Therefore it will take a while before the tires cools to the coolness of space. 3 u/iSlacker Feb 07 '18 I mean, the black carbon fibre hood was freezing and thawing every time it spun around.
