4 Falcon launches left to the promised 60

Our Father, which art in the heavens, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Mars as it is in Boca Chica. Give us this sol, our daily beans. And forgive us our dust, as we forgive our fellow dusters. And lead us not into tubes, but deliver us from Earthers: For thine is the kingdom, and the (solar) power, and the glory , for ever. Amen.

Good, now go back to twitter

How does it feel to have your flames quenched? Felon fucked up messing with that shithole, and Zubrin has been unhinged and psychotic about the war ever since it started. Not looking good, e*rth will try and keep humanity on its filthy wet soil as long as it can, as lowly as this

Twitter is nothing more than a massive distraction to Musk and Mars, theres no sense of urgency from him anymore

>>15053615
I'll be depressed if the future of space exploration looks in any way like this, but if we stick to flags and footprints these wouldn't be too bad.

>>15053557
He has done nothing to improve it besides making an absolute ass of himself in public
>liquidated several SLS launches worth of Tesla stock to pay the bills because he bought an overpriced app

>>15053733
>>15053739
>>15053751
Is it supposed to do that?

>>15053756
I think so, but if that gold stuff is just kapton to insulate the spacecraft against reentry, those TPS tiles on top are gratuitous overkill.

>>15053775
>>15053756
The kapton foil and thermal insulations protect the capsule in space, but they burn off during reentry

>>15053638
He's killing Twitter, thats a vast improvement since social media can only improve if it disappears.
And all the hate he gets is from fat Americans for whom showing off how many mental illnesses they have on Twitter is 60% of their personality.

The very concept of social media needs to disappear

>>15053852
>He's killing Twitter
Lol
Lmao
He’s addicted to is because of his massive ego

>>15053858
At least he is dismantling its staff, which works for me.
Social media should either die or turn into the digital wild west that the Internet was before Facebook.

>>15053858
Since when is having an ego something bad? Just because zoomies hate themselves like a bunch of Myspace emos doesnt mean everyone else will.

>>15053860
So his accomplishment is loosing a billions and making twitter even worse than it was before?
You’ll dick ride him to the very end even if the fallout harms SpaceX.

>>15053894
His accomplishment is killing Twitter, if it drives everyone away from that hellhole he'll be doing humanity a bigger service than any spaceship SpaceX makes.

Twitter, and social media, are one of the biggest societal cancers in the world, anything that either kills, harms or turns them into [s4s] levels of shitposting is a good deed.

Even other boards in 4chan have turned into fucking social media gossip circles, its embarassing.

Social media needs to die or be rendered unusable in the eyes of the masses and corps.

>>15053557
>>15053571
What’s wrong with Zubrin? I checked Twitter and it’s just
>Him complaining about Starship launch license
>Chinese mars mission
>Complaining about Trump
>Excited Ukraine is getting more weapons

>>15053911
As much as I wish that was true, social media are not going away.

>>15053917
Then humanity is doomed.
The internet really shouldnt have stuck to being a computer email program for the government.

>>15053894
Buy ads on Twitter then to save space

>>15053911
He’s bragging that the shitshow has increased the number of active users. What brand of copium are you huffing that you’re ascribing goals contrary to what Musk has said?

>>15053914
I wish he talked more about spaceflight but otherwise, he's based.

>>15053932
>huffing copium
Oh boy, so you are an unironic Twitter user.
Sorry, but I dont feel anything but disdain for social media and everyone who uses it. You are the cancer of humanity and deserve to disappear.
Anything that makes social media users mad can only be good, and its already been hilarious seeing millennials cry that they have no real alternatives.

Wish I had money to commit such planetary-scale levels of trolling.

>>15053933
Elon will never top Chuck Yeager Anglophobia

>>15053997
You retards can't fucking understand how the world works.
Destroying a platform does not kill the user base. This has never fucking worked. Look at what happened when Tumblr got fucked, the stupidity from there just spread out.

>>15054016
Why did tumblr ban porn, again?

>>15054016
Yes it does. The scattering and de-concentration of individuals present on a platform diminishes its influence. Twitter's greatest impact, and greatest sin, is being the place where news is made.

>>15054030
So you want to ban free speech and cancel everyone? Isn’t that the opposite of what your daddy Musk wants?

>>15054038
It's okay when we do it.

>>15054038
Your leading question doesn't even remotely follow from my assertion, dipshit.

Falcon 9 launch at 6 am tomorrow.

I hope a hurricane wipes out boca Chica

>>15053521

No, I want anarchy of speech, I dont want any kind of rules on the Internet.

>>15053521

This meme has gone too far, normies believe this unironically

>>15053521
>Creepy stalker gets banned for being a creepy stalker
>"So much for free speech, huh?"
Never fucking change. Twitter had double standards out the ass. Now those standards are being applied more evenly and people are seething like fucking crazy.

>Bernard Arnault is now the richest person on Earth
ok, so now he'll receive as much criticism as musk, right?

And it turns out that the big bad rich man suspended the plane watcher guy because the dipshit had 30 Twitter accounts.

>>15054102
>plane watcher
sounds interesting, takeoff when?

>>15054098
That guy keeps a super low profile. Musk deliberately seeks the public eye for PR purposes.

>>15054087
Isn’t he a free speech absolutist?

>>15054108
I don't think being a creepy stalker is protected any amendment related to free speech.

It's a private company, they can do whatever they want. And this applies to SpaceX once they land on Mars as well. Don't like it? Build your own colony.

>>15054102
>dipshit had 30 Twitter accounts
not against twatter rules

>>15054114
It is when you're using those alts to boost your main.

>>15054098

It's worse than that. It's not only 50 years that we haven't gone back to the Moon, but also 50 years of not even leaving Low Earth Orbit. Must be the greatest disappointment ever. Utter embarrassment of a species.

>>15054285
it's never too late to scrap a current Shuttle-derived launcher and begin work on an all new Shuttle-derived launcher

>>15054296
What if they made a reusable Shuttle-derived launcher? It should be cheaper in use.

Cry about it
Movie of the decade

>>15053557
SpaceX was never going to take colonies to Mars. Mars colonization talk is just a recruiting scheme; it allowed him to hire the best rocket scientists in the country, and even pay them modestly because they believe in the supposed mission. The real objective is juicy satellite launch contracts.

>>15053911
>His accomplishment is killing Twitter
But he hasn't; twitter is more popular than ever. I wish he'd killed it but he hasn't.

>>15053629

>>15054391
thank you very much anon

>space force established a unit in korea

>>15054384
so you're saying he's doing all this for the money?

>>15054421
Money and the various perks that come with being a defense contractor.

>>15054384
I get where you are coming from, but if this is the case then why is SpaceX dumping so much money into the risky bet that Starship is instead of going to the safe route of making better Falcons?

>>15054384
You are wrong and should commit suicide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zFqArNQlrA

>>15054444
>then why is SpaceX dumping so much money into the risky bet that Starship
Because it's going to be an exceptional satellite launcher. Hundreds of satellites per launch, and fully reusable. That's dynamite.

>>15054246
There is literally nothing more retarded, and more of a bigger cope than a manned mars flyby.

>>15054444
Because due to its scale and capabilities, Starship is more economical. They made Starlink V2 that can only be launched by Starship, because it'd simply too big.
All about that cost per kg.

>>15054391
just great, hadn't seen this one before

>>15054454
at least it's new

>>15054404
>filename not Elon Mosque

>>15054454
it will happen with Americas rocket chudoid

Why doesn't SS use metal tiles?

>>15054111
The point is really that Elon explicitly mentioned allowing the plane watcher as an example of free speech, so regardless of what you think, Elon himself considered it free speech. He's back now, so good on Elon, but still, extremely funny.

>>15054482
additional complexity and cost. It's on SpaceX's radar but its a stretch goal.

>>15054482
a) mass constraints (this is solvable)
b) no one has made metal tiles worthy of trial by fire from interplanetary reentry velocities (this will remain unsolvable until someone tried it)
Metal TPS tiles were made for the venturestar program but they were only to be used in select locations on the vehicle, in areas with very gentle reentry temperatures

>>15054491

They wouldn’t have built starship like they did if that was the case

>>15054517
You saying this, implying what about starship exactly? That it's not going to be excellent at launching tons of satellites cheap? No other launch provider can possibly compete.

Rotating colonies are the future, and Mars will serve as a resource depot for raw material. UNless you want people to adapt to 1/3 g, it's best to have regions dedicated to fleets of robots that construct the finer tools. Also space elevators.

>>15054567

>His accomplishment is killing Twitter

I'm old enough to remember the troon crowd holding a funeral for twitter when all the employees who didn't do anything quit.

>>15054586
Elon shed 90% of the staff and the only thing that changed was that all the child porn people had been complaining about for a decade vanished inside of a week.

>>15054246
SLS has a co manifest ability of 10 tons to the moon alongside Orion. That’s nothing mate

>>15054246
No but wait. You can set up a Mars free-return using Orion's engine, which would otherwise have been used for Lunar orbit insertion. Even with the hab payload, it could still make up the shortfall from the SLS.

Doesn't change the fact that inflatables don't exist and flybys are gay though

>This horrible and fatal system originates in two sources ... the rooted dishonesty of the national character and the incurable inadequacy of despotic power. Cheating, bribery, peculation pervade the whole tribe of officials, and are, in fact, the key-note and characteristic of the entire administration. There seems to be no conscience, and not much concealment, about it. The officers are ill paid, and of course pay themselves.

>Then the power of the Autocrat, absolute as it is and vigorously as it is exercised, is utterly insufficient to meet the evil. What can a despot do who has no instruments that can be trusted? There is no middle class who pay the taxes and insist upon knowing how they are expended. There is no free Press, with its penetrating and omniscient vigilance, to compel honesty and drag offenders to light and retribution. There is only one eye over all: and that eye can of course see only a small corner of this vast Empire. What the Emperor looks at, or can visit, is well done: everything else is neglected or abused. It is the common and inevitable story wherever you have centralization and barbarism combined.

This was from the Economist describing why Russia was getting its ass kicked in Crimea back in 1854.

Corruption is a way of life in Russia, and the only things that can be said to run efficiently are the ones that the the Czar or General Secretary have a direct interest in. Things did better under the Soviets because the powers of the police state let the Politburo keep a personal eye on a lot more things. With the collapse of the USSR a lot of that was lost in favor of the economy being divided up into neofeudal fiefdoms, which left the people in charge free to loot and enrich themselves off the old Soviet glories. The Soviet space sector was torn to pieces by this, and by the fact that we were recruiting soviet aerospace engineers as fast as Lockheed could convince the State Department to give them visas.

>>15054706
At least they could send an uncrewed Soyuz to replace MS-22.

>>15054706
my understanding is that there is 2 cooling loops and only one skeeted its load. Not sure however if the 2 are seperate or redundent systems

They'll send up an unoccupied Soyuz as a lifeboat for the crew and then cut the dead one free and see if they can remotely deorbit it. They did something similar in the 70's. Soyuz 33 I think?

They won't send a dragon because the crew doesn't have training on it and the suits can't plug into the life support system.

>However, it was later established that the 32 pyrotechnic charges, which split the upper section of the Soyuz from the rest of the rocket at blastoff had ignited a highly flammable coolant spilling from severed pipes leading to the instrument compartment.
>To exacerbate the situation, the pumps of the thermal control system continued sending the coolant down the severed lines, literally adding fuel to the fire.
>The flames then ignited tanks of the hydrogen peroxide propellant in the instrument compartment of the Soyuz and then spread to the huge propellant tanks of the rocket below.

also if the chinese randomly launched a lifeboat shingshangdingdong capsule or whatever it's called I'm pretty sure enough people would ask questions that they'd have to make a press release eventually

>>15054952
russians are pretty good about being as open as NASA. Although the roscosmos website has been down for a while. But anatoly zac would find out eventually. If it were their own station then yeah maybe they would be way more secretive. I have to give NASA credit they uploaded all the pad damage from SLS to the image archive.

The polarized society with all its issues exists because of the US' dumbfuck voting system and the two clown parties it permanently keeps in power. Not because of some fucking app.
Elon is so far off the mark here, it's fucking ridiculous. 44 billion for this. That's a good downpayment on a moon or mars base right there.
Can't believe how much headspace of his has been wasted on /pol/ memes lately.

>>15055198

>>15055198
Polarization happens because social media censors conservative voice that would otherwise have balanced the echos of the left. When social medias are controlled by the left and suppression happens on the right, you get echo chambers. With echo chambers you breed extremism. Its simple as that.

To restore a sense of normalacy, all social media/tech giants need to be neutral. Twitter is a start. Facebook needs to be as well. So does Google/Apple/and so on. Leddit for example is a leftist echo chamber created by extreme censorship. You get extremist voice controlling the narrative of the entire site.

>>15055198
he didnt actually pay 44 billion, you realize that right? you're not that stupid are you?

>>15055223
To restore normalcy you have to kill the concept of social media. Ban it and hunt any attempts to replicate it.

>>15055198
Polarizarion is provoked by the US government because it achieves two things: people's blind trust in politicians and being able to deflect any criticism into "the other side", plus not having to promise or do anything beyond not being the opposite guy.

The culture war is a psyop to kill America's libertarian spirit and turn everyone into puppets of the state.

>>15055140
>>15055170
I mean I wouldn't call it "reliable" in the sense that it always works 100% as intended, but it's VERY hard to fuck up a soyuz bad enough to kill its occupants. They're obviously going to repair or replace this this one before they come home but I'm pretty certain that if they needed to they could get this bitch back home in one piece.

It can be a bad idea to try to pee too hard. I found this cool trick where you can pinch the end just right and push and get a few feet more altitude, maybe even all the way to the ceiling, but then I noticed I was getting dark grey strands in my spooge, which I think was blood, so I might have pushed pee into my balls. So yeah, I don't do that anymore, but it was still pretty cool. You can stand at a urinal and whiz over a stall wall onto a person sitting on a toilet in a public bathroom. Try it yourself if you don't belive me.

>But it was found that, if design properly, the simple target vehicle could do some rather more interesting things than simply get blasted. With a very lightweight aluminum rocket engine (yes, a rocket engine can be made from aluminum – it simply needs good regen cooling and, preferably, some additional fuel-film cooling) burning a combination of hydrogen peroxide and JP-5 performance in terms of thrust and Isp would be fairly high, and bulk vehicle density would also be quite high. It would, in fact, be just barely possible that this modest target vehicle would be able to attain low Earth orbit with a payload of 10 kilograms… hence the nickname “bricklifter.” Empty weight would be 75 kilograms; light enough to be picked up be two men.Gross weight would be 1500 kilograms; light enough to be carried by a largish pickup truck. And small enough that it could potentially be launched from the back of a smallish pickup truck.

No you’re right. There’s a lot of factors to compare but at the end of the day, when you have raptor (FFSC) and it’s ‘counterpart,’ the BE-4 (ORSC) it’s way better to run with the FFSC cycle. My point though was that the RD-180 is fucking cool and I wanted America to get the chance to try their hand at it. It has disadvantages to raptor (cost only because aerojet sucks, slightly harder refurbishment for reusability, lower isp) but it has advantages too (denser fuel, less massive tanks)
I think once raptor has been flying for a while it will dethrone the RD-180 for reliability, power, cost (already better apparently). RD-180 is dual-chambered but 2 raptors can take up the same space as an RD-180 and come out on top with better performance. And this performance is only going to increase the same way it did with merlin.

>>15054552
That's what I was thinking

>>15055458
It’s criminal that Aerojet had the designs for the RD180 licensed, but never decided to build them.

With Antares now using a Firefly Beta first stage as it’s own, why even call it “Antares” anymore?

Turning a 24 hour flight into a 2 hour trip means the ROI on even the most expensive vehicle increases 12 fold. Fair bit of money to be made at E to E. Alas FAA is big gay.

>>15055811
She's looking out for SpaceX's CGI artists

>>15055820
With a 787 ~US$338.4 million (2019) doing one trip a day. A StarShip and infrastructure can approach US$4 billion in capital cost if able to do 12 trips at the same ticket price. So even with some egregious cost overruns StarShip could very well disrupt the long distance aero flight market.

E2E could work if the world was 100% anarchocapitalist. With regulations and nation states with their own interests, it will never work outside of niche military applications.

If you exclude Starship, customers are the ones that pay for payloads. However, commercial payloads are two years away. Starship in the nearest future will be fully occupied with Artemis. They, if they have enough time, vehicles, they will launch Starlink V2.
