thank you tom

Watch the B7/S24 flight fail due to some random issue no one expected. Like vortexes in the fuel flow or something

>>14535870
B7 isnt and never was flying. valthewyvern sends his regards, circa december 2021

>>14535854
I like this post

>>14535873
B7 is getting grid-fins
You’re probably right but Val has been wrong before

>>14535877
val has been dead for months. literally wiped off the face of this damned urf

>When Elon fits Starship's 150t orbital boilerplate with something just to piss off the libs

Inspire him

>>14535880
joined the 41%?

>>14535885
Elon is a leftist

why is NASA afraid of exoskeletons?

>>14535937
they're exospooky

>>14535885
Anything, really. Just an electric car again would make them seethe so much and they'd start spouting anti-space and anti-ev arguments haha. I think a Tesla Semi or a mini house would be cool.

Why aren't we sending unmanned factory ships to colony sites so the first wave colonists can use them?

>>14535991
Do you have an unmanned factory ship anon?

hop when?

>>14536002
13 days

>>14535983
this one turned out to be true

Threadly reminder to NOT get a job at Blue Origin only intending to leak and sabotage Bezos' retarded vanity project: https://blueorigin.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/BlueOrigin

Don't do it, /sfg/.

I'm warning you.

>>14535991
We should do this.

You can make food, electricity, air, steel, plastic, and a bunch of other materials ISRU on Mars. We should be aiming for most or all of the materials used in a Martian colony to be ISRU, to minimize the amount of shit that has to be brought from earth.

>>14535983
the worst part is I understand the point he's making and he's right

>>14535983
Fun fact, that guy is not a native English speaker.

Elon is a capitalist who bribes politicians on the left and right if they support his businesses so he can profit more.

>We literally have no idea where Hubble is buried
What the fuck

>>14536097

>>14535953
>Libs are now against electric cars
What?

Musk has indicated that SpaceX wants to build thousands or even tens of thousands of Starships. What's going to happen to them when they hit end-of-life? Museums might want the first couple of them but when there are thousands of them surplused, they'll be nothing special. Will they be cut-up and melted down? Sold off to used car dealerships and plastered with the latest deals?

>>14536130
I buy them and become a swashbuckling space pirate.

>>14536130
A deed is worth a thousand tweets.

>>14536130
Send them to the moon, land 'em, tip 'em over and use 'em for storage sheds. Mars too if you want.

>>14536118
Why is that surprising? They used to have violent protests against globalism and multination corporations. Now they love both. Identity trumps values. This is nothing new. If their leaders came out and said "Now we support Nazis because it's the right thing to do", they'd support Nazis.

>>14536130
sell them to private individual's
starships will be the new mega yachts

>>14536130
Really interesting coincidence that if you lay down 10,000 Starships with their boosters on their sides, it could form a wall from Boca Chica to the Pacific Ocean following the path of the US/Mexico border.

>>14536144
Hopefully it turns out better than the shipping container fad.

>>14536130
Just send them into a one-way trip into the outer solar system and beyond, make the starship the probe itself or fill it with hundreds of tiny probes or just let it act as a kickstage. Even if it were to come back, it'll take more than a decade or several, so...

spartans never die. they're just missing in action

>>14536130
Scrap metal recycling. Stainless recycles well.

>>14536141
anon that already happened, Azov is the current thing

>>14536160
And that's based for us because Elon was smart enough to send starlink terminals and make SpaceX a major national security asset.

>>14536162
can never have enough dead Russians, I hope the Ukrainian rocket program makes it out of it alive

>>14536145
26,208, which isn't that far off from the 25,000 he said would be sent to Mars but I suspect they're not planning on many of those making a return trip. >>14536138 has the right idea though on Mars instead of the Moon, though it could probably work well for that purpose there too.

>>14536164
>Ukrainian rocket program
I just hope their space agency doesn't join ESA

how is it a vanity project when the have a customer that launches all the time buying their engines?

>>14535885
I propose a train. A rail shunting locomotive like the EMD MP15DC is perfect.
It fits: the train is 48 feet long and the starship fairing is 55 ft long.
The train weighs 117,000 kg, so it's a little on the heavy side if the lift capacity is only 100,000 kg, but if the capacity is 150 tonnes it should be fine. It's so heavy and solidly built a multiton chunk would be intact when it hits earth after deorbiting, but probably would be vaporized and make a massive crater from lithobraking.

>>14536233
>it *accidently* falls on the faa

>>14535885
Harvested beetles from around boca chica.

>>14536233
There's no reason to leave it up there unless you want to do rendezvous and docking tests and bring it back down later

>>14536021
I think some of the early ships should have metals collections onboard-- ingots/plates/bars, etc. They would be a variety of useful metals like pure copper, lead, titanium, etc. If the ship blows up it'd be possible to collect the chunks and use them once a smelter is set up. I imagine any crashed ships will be harvested once an ironworks is online.

>>14536239
That gives me an idea, instead of putting sand in a retrograde orbit to trap these crabs on urf we could just use beetles.

>>14536028
Unironically get help

starship habitable area is what, like 60 meters in length? if 300 people can live and work on a naval cruiser then you can definitely get 100 people living and working on a starship.

>>14536293
>60 meters
lmao it's more like 20 at most

>>14536293
Anon it’s absolutely not 60 meters….

>>14536293
imagine the smell

>>14535885
Should put a TBM in there. Great pr for elons joke company.

>>14536297
>>14536301
isnt starship 120m in length?

What are boeing's near future plans?

>>14536233
Pottery

>>14536308
~100m of that is fuel.
70m for Superheavy, 30 meters for Starship's fuel

>>14536314
fuuuuuuck we need shipyards in space to build real spaceships

posting my observation again:
The Mayflower had approximately 400 m^3 of usable space. For 130 people, along with chickens, dogs, sheep, twelve artillery pieces, and goats. And supplies for all of them. For seven months.
Starship will have ~900 m^3 of pressurized space. And probably less artillery pieces onboard.

>>14536256
>orbital-speed windshield splatter
How would /sfg/ engineer vacuum-grade windshield wipers?

>>14536321

>>14536319
*fewer artillery pieces, but good point overall.

>>14535847

This one (and the other related sorties) has always grabbed me as among the ballsiest moves ever in human spaceflight. Out there with a spinning top and a bunch of sharp shit on it and some fucking unwieldy ring thing.

>>14536330
Easily one of the most based shuttle missions.

My girlfriend and I broke up. I want to die.

>>14536315
Have a supply depot in orbit filled with unexpanded BEAM modules. Once a Starship is in orbit, drop by the depot and cover the exterior with BEAMs, which get inflated when heading away from Earth.

>>14536308
the whole stack is 120m, the Starship itself is like 50 and more than half of that is prop tanks

>>14536338
I pity you for interacting with a woman in the first place

>>14536338
I just went on an awesome date with a qt asian girl who enjoys my autism and laughs at all my cringy jokes. first time dating after over a year single. believe in yourself anon, time heals all wounds. whatever you do, DO NOT TALK TO YOUR EX. distract yourself, hit the gym, set goals, better yourself. in time you will find someone right for you

Next time use a baby to trap her

>>14536338
Having been there and allowed it to lead to multiple years of deep depression, make sure you get out and do shit with people you care about as much as possible. Isolating yourself can drive you into a downward spiral.

>>14536361

There’s a lot of debate on Los Dos about what static firing the engines “one at a time” means.

>>14536338

>no one posted the collins suits

>>14536546
They kind of look like amongus with arms

>>14536548
And that’s it
Verdict?

>>14536532
Although, should these be called Soyuz rockets? They don't have the one thing unique to a Soyuz; the Korolev cross.
I think the name Amur should stick, it's pretty good on its own and is an important part of Russia's history

Also just because I didn’t see anyone say it: xEMU is dead. It’s still being tested but it’s being killed by the end of the (fiscal) year. The test results are going to be shared with other companies and everyone working on it is basically going on to advise Axiom and Collins in their development. What a fucking waste but at least they won’t continue the fucking farce. A quiet embarrassment

>>14536550

except with brown this time

>>14536546

For years feet would randomly wash up on the beaches around Vancouver and Seattle. No one knew where the feet were coming from, but I suspect you may have been involved.

It's a shame that the only way to get around the shoulder injuries is the weird, bulky design. At least until someone designs a skintight one (not the fucking MIT suit).

So now that SpaceX and NASA partnership is on hold until the next admin, whats SpaceX gonna do next? Proceed with their own Mars plan without NASA?

Are there any new images of SpaceX's EVA suits that are going to be tested on the Polaris Dawn mission? Are the SpaceX EVA suits simply IVA suits with an umbilical?

> Three Mariner probes were constructed for the mission, with two intended to fly and one as a spare in the event of a mission failure. The spacecraft was shipped to Cape Canaveral with their Atlas-Centaur boosters in December 1968 – January 1969 to begin pre-launch checkouts and testing.
>On February 14, Mariner 6 was undergoing a simulated countdown on LC-36A, electrical power running, but no propellant loaded in the booster. During the test run, an electrical relay in the Atlas malfunctioned and opened two valves in the pneumatic system which allowed helium pressure gas to escape from the booster's balloon skin.
>The Atlas began to crumple over, however two pad technicians quickly activated a manual override switch to close the valves and pump helium back in. Although Mariner 6 and its Centaur stage had been saved, the Atlas had sustained structural damage and could not be reused, so they were removed from the booster and placed atop Mariner 7's launch vehicle on the adjacent LC-36B, while a different Atlas was used for Mariner 7.
>NASA awarded the quick-thinking technicians, Bill McClure and Charles (Jack) Beverlin, an Exceptional Medal of Bravery for their courage in risking being crushed underneath the 124-foot rocket.
>In 2014, an escarpment on Mars which NASA'S Opportunity rover had recently visited was named the McClure-Beverlin Ridge in honor of the pair, who had since died.

>>14537125
did they pressurize the entire atlas with helium on the pad? seems expensive

3d screen to make the astroNOTs believe they're really in "space"

>Abstract: At present, confronting the problem of insufficient internet coverage from terrestrial networks, the world has set off a wave of satellite-based internet. Among them,the Starlink has the largest planed scale and the largest number of launched satellites, making it the most representative low-orbit internet constellation. While this is a booming enterprise and it has a huge number of potential applications, it also has brought with it hidden dangers and challenges for our country. Therefore this article focuses on the Starlink, examines where it stands on its deployment schedule,its main parameters and characteristics, analyzes its application capabilities, specifically analyzes needed countermeasure capabilities needed and gives some suggestions on how to address this problem so as to actively respond to the risks and dangers brought by the Starlink and to better safeguard China’s sovereignty and national security.

Destruction is cheaper than creation. The pockets of a nation-state are much deeper than those of a private company. Also it would take a few years for the orbits to clear out of debris.

>>14536981
Probably for anti-fogging, insulation, and safety.

Reminder, Artemis iii is delayed. Previously, nasa has says that bottleneck is space suits. Yesterday, the two chosen companies are supposed to demo their suits in 2025. In leo. Not Artemis. (Berger noted this point)

at this point spacex may end up on mars before nasa ends up on the moon

Not sure what you mean by that.

I thought you meant that democracies have lasted for very little time compared to other governments.

>>14537577
Seems reasonable.

>>14537578
The closest thing to an actual democracy died with the ancient Greeks, but what you call "democracy" certainly won't last very long seeing as it's about to destroy civilization and prove itself to be the worst system of governance.

5. Terran R
6. New Glenn

Why doesn’t anyone realize that SpaceX being transparent with failure is the reason people love them? If Blue Origin released a bunch of failed landing footage and played it off as testing fun, no one would think less of them.

>>14537703
B7 rollout and initial cryos are probably a month or so. Engine tests also are probably about another month. Final checks with S24 are also another month after. A B7/S24 flight by August or September is doable

>>14537705
As much as we love RocketLab, neutron is literally vaporware. The engines don’t exist yet, and they’re usually the hardest part of rocket development. Even New Glenn is further along here.

>>14537714

Why do we love them again? They seem to be Astra tier.

>>14537710
>If Blue Origin released a bunch of failed landing footage and played it off as testing fun, no one would think less of them.
I'd find it endearing, SpaceX's 'how not to land a booster' was great.

The FAA has concluded with section 4(f), which was the last outstanding component of the Project Environmental Assessment, which is still due by the 14th.

John Titor wasn't right about every single thing though. But his post was pretty prescient on most fronts. The flight permit for Boca Chica has been continually delayed, June 13th is the current roadmap--but there's no guarantee it will be by then. Artemis III has slipped now to 2025, but which puts it a mere 2 years out from 2027; and the SLS is hobbling between the launch pad and the VAB. Just saying.

jesus christ how terrifying

tidal forces will wreck the shit out of that before it gets anywhere near that close.

Could SpaceX do a manned lunar mission on their own anyways? Say they use the HLS architecture but use a second starship to carry a crew dragon to and from it at the moon? I’m 99% sure Artemis III get pushed to 2028 because that was their initial plan a year or so ago anyways.

>>14537809
It'd look pretty cool though, the sky entirely taken up by one massive object hanging right overhead.

>soon

>>14537813
Initial plan was 2024.

>>14537813
Probably. If the HLS part is working, the tanker is probably working and the in orbit refueling is definitely working.

Launching and landing on earth would take place in the dragon though, because it's human rated.

So what's /sfg/ certified space fiction?

OhScrap! and ScrapYard. They’re separate failure mods that add parts, part fatigue, and random failures.

I had played the career very fast and loose and it cost lives. I didn’t put a launch abort tower on Mercury flights, and I skipped the Redstone launches and went straight to orbit. So John Glenn was killed 5 seconds after launch when his Atlas had an engine failure and crashed into the pad.

I also played fast and loose with Apollo. For starters, I didn’t unlock the F-1 engine, so I used 15 smaller E-1 engines which have 1/2 the thrust or so. I put men on the first flight of the Saturn V, and it was a recreation of Apollo 8. The Apollo 11 analog was literally the second flight of the Saturn V. It was also only the third or fourth flight of the LEM, which meant it had a higher chance of failure. In real life, NASA built like a dozen LEM’s before Apollo 11. I’ll be more careful next time.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/06/nasa-just-bought-all-the-seats-needed-for-space-station-crews-into-2030/

>>14538059
>where are all the broken tiles?

>>14538196
>>14538108

Making SS too small will turn out to be SpaceXs critical mistake. With a bigger SS they could have used metal tiles which would never break or fall off

>>14538075
>they must make an SSTO spaceplane immediately
This, but unironically

>>14538179
NASA could force them to fly on the Falcon 9

>>14538175
Not fucked, they're just earning the rewards of their lack of enthusiasm.

SpaceX built more capsules than they needed to and courted commercial customers outside of what they were flying for NASA, which was exactly what the commercial crew program was supposed to be encouraging. Boeing only build the bare minimum of capsules and purchased the bare minimum of rockets needed to launch them, and the only thing they've done to find commercial customers is letting CGI of Starliner get used in renders of Orbital Reef. If they actually want to do any of that they need to get Vulcan crew-rated and they haven't shown any interested in starting that process.

So NASA said "Fuck it, we're not going to pay to crew-rate Vulcan just to get two more flights out of you assholes."

>For starters, I didn’t unlock the F-1 engine, so I used 15 smaller E-1 engines which have 1/2 the thrust or so.
yeah i think E-1s and separate launches for the CSM and LM with LOR may be the best non-cheesed strategy for a cheap moon landing the way it's set up right now (all with D2 apollo, naturally)
>So John Glenn was killed 5 seconds after launch when his Atlas had an engine failure and crashed into the pad.

Starship is delayed by federal government, not SpaceX.

>>14538566
Gov fuckery didn't help, but Starship itself isn't ready for orbital yet. They've gotta get through the SH testing campaign first and fix the inevitable bugs they find. This also includes stage 0. I'd be shocked if the external engine startup system worked 100% on the first try.

>>14538570
Starship has been ready for over a year. We've been through multiple iterations already.

SpaceX can and have launched their ships without full 100% ready platforms.

The barrier to Starship is 100% federal government. If someone has a gun to your head, it doesn't matter if you shit yourself because its not your fault. Its the government's fault.
