[@RyanHansenSpace] @elonmusk confirmed what I have been speculating for the past few days during #Starship Spaces tonight. The water-cooled plate will not only provide a strong surface but also a showerhead deluge system. Holes across the surface will release water aiding in sound suppression.1yr ⋅ Logancf1 ⋅ r/StarshipDevelopment
