or even if you have 5 engines
(losing one of nine or more does mostly work though)

no need for solving. It is a thing that solves themselves

Demo doomers are a giant meme like other doomer species. Old folk will either adapt or die off quickly if they are not being supported by their kids or payed for free upkeeping by the state. As for younger invaders then this again are retards that fail to grasp you can produce bullets faster then they can shit out another malnourished toddler. Most of the western civilization has good natural barriers against foreign invaders which is primarily large bodies of water. The only part where this is not true, east euro, which not coincidentally is the most ravaged and stunted in development, is nationalist and rapidly militarising in wake of the asiatic invasion of Ukraine.

Betting on women stop giving birth completely is eye rollingly stupid. There will be population declines followed by eventual upswing as internal pressure grows towards having more kids to support aging parents as the welfare meme goes bankrupt with the declining tax base

Biggest thing regarding declining pop and space is that the pressure for off world colonization declines which means slowed space industrialization. That and other side effects like less potential brain power due to lower numbers etc.

in short term? even more obnoxious and loud doomer shitbirds. In long term? Delayed timer until second test flight. As it stands they can salvage the pad and tower after repairs but flame control needs a overhaul before next launch

One engine took part of the stand with it. Hilarity ensued.

>After over six months of rigorous testing and analysis, Astra has received a formal closure letter from the FAA concluding the TROPICS-1 mishap investigation.
>Our analysis showed that the anomalous fuel consumption during the upper stage flight was due to a combustion chamber wall burn-through that occurred 18 seconds into upper stage flight. Flight data showed that the burn-through was precipitated by a substantial blockage of the fuel injector.

Here's a demonstration of 1g of thrust, by the way.
