I wonder what's going to happen to the ones that didn't make it in time for SLS integration

>>14800291
There's three listed on NSF who didn't make it, maybe they can go beg for a Transporter ride?

>>14800291
24 hours from now we will call them "the lucky ones".

Wtf bros how could they do this to us?

'A rough sketch from 1779 can be understood as a rocket motor powered by compressed hydrogen and oxygen
(inflammable air and dephlogisticated air in Darwin’s terminology) as propellants. The gases are stored in separate
containers and fed into a cylindrical chamber with an exit nozzle at one end. The volume of hydrogen is correctly
shown as being greater than of oxygen. Darwin’s idea appears to be very advanced for his time, as the invention of
hydrogen-oxygen rocket has been usually associated with Konstantine Tsiolkovskii (1857-1935'

While SLS is perhaps one of the most visible examples of government waste in recent memory, its ripple effects are what it will be remembered for.

Defense contractors are getting forcibly removed from the space business kicking and screaming by the raw power of cost savings they can't hide.

Anyone else feel sick to their stomach over SLS? Like ACTUALLY apathetic about the whole thing?

>>14800710
They can post fairing pics all they like but until I see something flying they're a paper company

They're late to the market and they'd better come up with something goddamn miraculous for upper stage reuse if they want to compete with SpaceX and Rocket Lab

>>14800710
jesus imagine starting a company this late chasing RR with established players actively launching or deep in development of launchers. By 2024 we could have 3 or 4 space companies deploying partially or fully reusable rockets. When do they plan on deploying a rocket?

>>14800710
Anon, BO and Rocketlab will barely make it and will likely only survive off of NASA contracts aimed at giving them something to do. Everyone else is dead save for maybe relativity who can also get a piece of that pie of T1 works

>>14800877
OIG estimates the SLS project cost by end of 2030 will be $95 billion. It will launch ~5 times, $95 billion / 5 = $19 billion per launch.

Of that, it will cost ~$4.1 billion per launch in hardware cost. That's $20.5 B for hardware. Which leaves the R/D @ $74.5. Given that by the end of 2021, the R/D was ~$40 billion according to OIG, another $34.5 will be spent in from 2022-2030 years from now. Which means, a total R/D of $4.3 B per year on avg.

TEN SMALL CUBESAT RIDESHARE PAYLOADS WILL ALSO LAUNCH ON THE ARTEMIS I MISSION.

>>14801076
>today
nigga it is 11:38 pm

Had this little bugger for a while, believe it or not. Scooped it up from the friction stir welding facility at Marshall while they were working on the interstage. If this is any indication of as to how old this is, this is from back when the mission was still called EM-1.

Scrub 2 seconds after Rs25s igniting. So they have to roll the thing back to the VAB and spend months and millions of dollars swapping them out. Then they'll roll it back out and stall again. As the SRBs reach their expiration date.

Why do people keep saying we're going back to the moon? Haven't we sent satellites there? They're acting like people are on board.

>>14801085
Dubs and an engine shits the bed right as the boosters light, forcing them to activate RTS before it even clears the tower, destroying not only the rocket but also the entire launchpad and surrounding GSE.

>>14801090
Does it even have engine out capability?

>>14800546
kinky

>>14801091
It's the last unmanned checkout flight for Orion.

No stupid questions hour: so knowing that a locomotive steam engine works by burning coal or oil to heat water and then use the steam to drive pistons, could you (theoretically) have a tank of water or methane in a vacuum or near vacuum such as mars, expose it to the low pressure around you and let it start boiling, and then use that vapor pressure to drive pistons and get meaningful work out of it? For example, connecting it to a rotating rod that can then generate electricity with a big electromagnet for an emergency power jump or battery charge?

>>14801103
Yes that's entirely possible but you gain more work from chemical combustion

>>14801103
a simplified question would be whether or not you could run a steam locomotive on Mars by exposing the water to a vacuum instead of needing to boil it at atmospheric pressures. And my gut tells me it wouldn’t work but also my gut tells me it might be very efficient

>>14801103
>>14801105
this is why gas generator engines can be bigger than expander cycle engines and why water or ammonia NTP with expander cycle sucks ass

>>14801110
the remaining water cools off when some of it boils away, you're using the heat in the system up until it turns to ice

>>14801114
you could divert a fraction of the power generated to some sort of heating apparatus that surrounds the water tank. But as the other anon pointed out you’re better off with chemical energy anyways

>>14801117
you get less energy out of the boiling than the water cools down by

>>14801097
At a certain altitude. Otherwise you have to abort and blow the rogget.

>>14801119
Oh makes sense

Even if the orange rocket works it will still be expensive as fuck, fly once per year and Artemis will be canceled when the US will need money for a war or some shit.

War and Artemis pay the same companies. The bigger threat is some new free shit program for transgender black underwater basket weaving or whatever that suddenly drains a trillion per year in perpetuity.

If SLS succeeds how can we profit from this? Buy Boeing shares? Can Boeing monetize this rocket and milk the gov for profits if they have a success?

>>14801185
>canceled when the US will need money
Something like 80-90% of all the dollars that have ever existed were created in the past year. Congress feels no need to cancel anything, ever, under any circumstances.

>>14801188
Before they get to try again *with humans

>>14801185
I thought the issue with SLS is it keeps NOT getting canceled?

>>14801199
This is the larger problem, yes

>>14801198
Nah. If it explodes they just bump everything back one launch an pull a do-over on Artemis 1 like Boeing did with the OFT debacle. Artemis 1 ver. 2 would launch in (maybe) 2024 with the first manned flight pushed back to 2026.

LIGHTNING! Holding off on prop load

>>14801199
The funny part is that it WAS cancelled, and they changed the name and kept on going

>>14801097

Apollo was a historical anomaly, it was dumb luck it didn't kill astronauts on space, without the cold war pressure it would have been an absurd idea.

>>14801257
The world would be better

>>14801268
I fucking hate this show

Woke shit ruins it, that and the "women knowing everything while men are the idiots" meme

>>14801062
He isn't wrong. This is literally what happens every single time. There was some VOONTING going on at Boca during the SRB test and ten times the number of people watched a fucking cylinder vent LOX over an SRB doing a full burn.

>>14801277
Ed and the space flight related scenes make it watchable though.

>>14801256
SLS was literally born out of Congress flipping their lid at Obama canceling the prior program during a recession

>52 years instead of 50 years
bummer

>>14801277
I find it extremely funny that if spicy hypergolic man didn't throw his rival into the gulag, spaceflight would have become the big gay.

>>14801166
my money says it's random comms equipment bullshit

For the sake of being more positive for once, assuming Artemis is successful, what is gonna be the name of a Mars program? Is it just gonna stick with Artemis or something else?

>>14801264
>It sent Americans to the Moon before anyone else
N1 sent Americans to the moon?

i'm staying up too late doing homework and there's no way i'll be awake in six and a half hours. go on without me bros...

>>14801378
fuck
>it was the n1

>>14801374
Assuming we stick with SLS all the way to mars we will likely keep the Artemis program name

>>14801374
Ares I probably.

>>14801399
Wasn't this the name of a rocket already?
And I feel Ares just doesn't have the same punch Apollo does, even with all the symbolism

>>14801374
>what is gonna be the name of a Mars program?

The Katherine Johnson Program

>>14801399
>male god

Never happening

>>14801374
>>14801399
>>14801413

could be Athena, who was the goddess of military strategy

>>14801404
>>14801413
>>14801419
The Leto (LAY-toh) (Latona in Roman version) Program would be the best choice by far.

>Apollo Missions>Artemis Missions>Leto Missions

She was the birther of Apollo and Artemis, so it would make sense that she comes next

>>14801419
Still too white. Maybe Oshun or Yemaya.

>>14801374
Everyone assuming they're just going to stick to mythological figures

They'll give it some boring designation like Mars Exploration Initiative which will last up until they ask Congress for money and they end up naming it after a real person

>>14801437
>and they end up naming it after a real person

I'm looking forward to the Beyonce I mission, and the Pop Smoke Mars Landing Craft carrying aboard strong Women and Blacks who definitely aren't diversity hires

>yfw SLS launches perfectly and secures unlimited taxpayer money for the next 30 years

prepare

>>14801453
The SLS Block 5 will be a spaceplane again

mark my words

>>14801447
It's funny, it made total sense in 2011. Space Shuttle was being phased out, SpaceX had zero launches that year and no one knew what Elon/newspace was capable of, and we were about to be dependent on Soyuz

Now it's just a massive burden

>>14801430
Paul Atreides program

>>14801453
you know that this was celebrating Boeing's centennial, right
100 years has nothing to do with SLS
I know this only because I sent it to a man who was on the inside once

>>14801458
in retrospect a shuttle fleet modernization would've been way cheaper

Why do they always name the rockets after greek gods? Why can't we get some nice Native American dieties?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ptPdlVAwFg

Any year now...

>>14801461
>>14800288

>>14801492
It'd be nice if they were actually pronounceable

>>14801487
Shuttles can't land on the moon and Mars

>>14801492
Ah yes, Space Launch System, my favorite Greek god.

>>14801492
You want to name a rocket after this bullshit?

>>14801492
yeah sure we'll just call it Quetzcoatl

>>14801074

glad to have you back bro :')

>>14801497
I'll go through and note the ones that sound cool and would be based

>Taiowa (Hopi - Sun spirit, creator)
>Nanook (Inuit - Master of bears)
>Etu (Lakota - Personification of time)
>Niltsi (Navajo - Wind god)
>Shakuru (Pawnee - Solar deity)
>Tirawa (Pawnee - Creator)
>Amotken (Salish - Supreme deity)
>Isa (Shoshone - Creator wolf god)
>Kanati (Cherokee - First man and deity of the hunt)
>Natosi (Blackfoot - Sun god)
>Hinon (Iroquois - Thunder god)

On vacation in Texas. Got kicked out of the Denny's on south Padre island. Was in high spirits after looking at starbase, too. I was a bit drunk, buti wasnt doing anything wrong. My parents are getting sck of me I think. I heard them arguing through the wall in the hotel room next to mine.

>>14801524
Lose weight.

>>14801523
You're just going to skip right over Red Horn?

MODDDDDDSS

Can someone tell me why this doesn't work?
I got it to work before, but lost my filters when switching pcs

>>14801524
fuck off

>>14801492
We already name enough helicopters after injuns, they don't need rockets too.

>hydrogen leak
HOW EMBARASSING

>>14801531
>>14801535
No, I don't think I will. I drank 27 beers today. I deserve to unwind with my space friends.

Who cares just light it up and see what happens

>>14801532
>creepy-ass desert tribe

No thanks

>>14801542
we're not your friends, kill yourself

F

>>14801536
>As LH2 was going into fast fill, started seeing a leak on the tail mast umbilical.
Yeah rip.

>>14801546
Wasn't talking about you, goober.
Also
>we
I have fans in this thread. That I can tell you.

What's the latest? Do I set an alarm?

>>14801559
I got kicked out of Denny's near starbase.

>>14801559
The launch window starts at 8:33 AM EST.

They fixed the QD
wtf is it now?

>>14801498
Neither can SLS

>>14801555
wrong

>>14801569
leaky hydrogen shit on the service structure
it only happens during fast fill but they can't slowfill it in time

>>14801534
do you have this checked?

>>14800237
alright you fuckers tell me where to watch the artemis I launch
tell me right the fuck now im not playing witj you

>>14801583
nasa stream will be live at some point
until then NSF

>>14801574
>what is Orion

>>14801575
I was called based once.

>>14801583
I'm watching NASA Space Flight, looks like today is likely a scrub due to hydrogen leak though.

>>14801582
Yes

Wait so they never did a WDR and now they discovered a leak while loading? Lmaooooo

>>14801589
>Orion can land on the moon

>>14801593
They did and it leaked during the same point then, I guess their "fix" didn't work.

>>14801589
A really terrible taxi to get to a waiting Starship. At least shittle carried 7 people

>>14801598
That's what happens when women and black people are your engineers

>>14801583
link is in the OP, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg until then to get first hand info on things fucking up

>>14801600

You are a fucking idiot if you think there are more involved than that.

lel

>>14801607
>Hey D'Quarius did you do the hydrogen leak check on the service structure?
>AYY NIGGA WE BE CASHING ALL KIND OF CHECKS U FEEL ME THAT NASA MONEY SON
>N-no I meant did you check for leaks, just making sure before we sign off on this launch
>AYYYY MAYNE I CHECKED IT I CHECKED IT
>*shucks and jives*
>Okay, thank you for your contribution and I'm sorry for being white. Stacey did you do the other system checks?
>*takes picture of her with the rocket for instagram* Hold on. I'm busy and don't need a man telling me what to do. How does my hair look?
>O-okay I was just making su-
>Do you want me to file another sexual harassment complaint? That's what I thought.
>Okay thanks for doing the systems check

>>14801610
OH NO NO NO

>>14801610
Is this accurate?
And is SLS more expensive than the Saturn V in 2022 dollars?

>>14801610
>can't beat SV in payload (nor prestige)
>doesn't even get the title of most powerful rocket to lift off the pad
SLS is truly an abomination and sacrificing RS-25s for it is a crime against spaceflight

>>14801624
I thought it was "most powerful" by some metric?

>>14801621
yes and yes

>>14801632
The metric was inclusivity and diversity, it is definitely the most powerful

>>14801632
Most powerful NASA rocket, or most powerful to reach orbit (if it manages that).

>>14801632
If it flies for about a minute it'll beat N1, which had about 45MN at liftoff.

>>14801632
Most powerful in takeoff thrust solely due to the SRB's, the core stage couldn't even lift itself to orbit without them. Behold the power of hydrologgs :DD

>>14801592
just copy paste the entire name then
works for me

>>14801074
Comfy

>>14801419
Since when are women any good at military strategy??

>>14801074
welcome back fucker :)

>>14801641
oh fug :DD

>>14801599
Shuttle could've carried like 50 in the payload bay with a passenger module.

this eurofag is based. making ameribros sound like absolute redditors.

We. Are Going (back to slow fill)

>>14801643
I think it's just fucked

>>14800557
I agree

>>14801621
SLS was made with the wrong parts on purpose to appease Congress. NASA wanted a Saturn VI.

I just ate two pounds of steak.

>>14801658
What did the Japanese mean by this? Is this how they see Americans?

>14801524
>14801542
>14801555
>14801563

I guess the ban expired, truly a tragedy for this /sfg/ thread

>>14801665
go back, thread was fine without you

>>14801647
Have you never had a woman mad at you before?

They will destroy you if they feel like it

>>14801667
You forgot the name bro

>>14801670
Gaius Suetonius Paulinius says otherwise

Big chungus

>>14801662
Nice work
>>14801665
I'm in Texas. Also, I was never banned. I only post space related things, so no reason to ban me anways. The bottom line is; if anything happened, you would be thankful to have a man of my physical breadth nearby. People hate what they don't understand. Simple as.

>>14801672
what name

slow fill started once again

will this leak issue halt the launch? I was going to pull an all nighter to see this fucker go up and they seem pretty ambiguous if it will really happen now

>>14801610
Fucking delete this

>>14801654
have you tried refreshing

>>14801697
It looks unlikely to fly but I would hang around another hour if you can just to be sure, there is a slim chance slow fill will cool the lines enough to seal the leak.

Time to sleep for four hours and then wake up to see this thing either delay or explode

>>14801663
be the American the Japanese think you are

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM

>>14800453
>they actually flew this fucking thing
Always makes me smile.

>>14801701
Yes

>>14801697
They’ll fix the leak just in time for some rainclouds to cause a scrub

SLS launch thread
>>14801611
sure is weird typing those three words out

LOX 61% full
LH2 12% full (currently in fast-fill)

>>14801714
>some people out here haven't learned hydrogen is a shill element yet
That tiny bastard is intoxicating to min max autists.

Does Artemis get cancelled if this thing explodes?

How long until takeoff?

>>14801727
let's hope so, cute anime anon

>>14801731

>>14801727
No, Congress finally puts on their big boy pants and just hands the job over to SpaceX.

is the ESM and Orion fueled up already
>>14801713
personally I'm a fan of "offtopic"
>>14801733
>>14801727
it's about half an hour longer than indicated on the timer

>>14801710
that ungainly beast flew on 1 (one) raptor
and some "people" thought it was a water tower
I hope that thing is enshrined until the end of time

>it's still leaking but they just don't care and keep pumping
kek

Ok this is just kino

>>14801747
yep, it's doomed, see you again in 50 years

its not leaking you fucking idiot russian bot doomers you dont kknow jackshit about spaceflight stfu

>>14801747
Imagine dealing with a 30billlion dollar rocket the way you deal with a sudden flat tire

>>14801754
>NASA says it's leaking at 1.8%
I guess you're an idiot

>>14801563
What about the Krystal?

>>14801750
>rocket is so autistic it has to have its oxygen and its hydrogen in separate tanks so the food doesn’t touch

>>14801763
yo mr white, i want out

Everything will go according to plan

>>14801767
even the Saturn V did common dome
did the Space Shuttle do common dome?

>>14801763
Don't respond to the attention whore retard.

>>14801747
No one involved on this project actually gives a shit, that's why it's called the Space Launch System lmao
