Pour money into a state level engine program, target performance comparable to Raptor. Crank them out and sell them for cheap to the private sector. Kill the focus on copying western powers, developing a Starship clone, ISS clone, etc. Fly a bunch of novel missions, fund solar sails, spin stations, all the actually interesting stuff the west won't do. Kill astronauts. Instead of spreading thin, focus on excelling in single high buget science missions, outer planets missions, whatever. The goal should be to actually beat NASA at something, instead of trying to hit the same milestones that NASA hit seventy years ago.

So they are probably going slow because of testing® but once SS is in its final form I wonder how fast they plan on filling up. Surely part of “rapid reusability” is ‘hurry up and fill er up’

I (tactfully) introduced myself as a spaceflight fan and we had pretty good conversation and now we sometimes work out together. The thing I didn't expect from him is that he's super loud at the gym when either girls are nearby or smaller men. Last week he hit a pr, two plate bench, got up after the set and yelled,"WOOOOO! WE GOING TO MARS YESTERDAY BABAY! THIS'LL BE A FIVE PLATER ON MARS I'M LIFTING ALL OF YOU ALL THE WAY THERE. WOOOOO!" And then he smacked some small, mid 40s looking guy's butt and went to the bathroom. I just proceeded with my workout, but I never saw him come back

or well, at first it was that I would like to get as much information as possible, also which I would have a bias against as I am pretty pro-Musk, but it was apparent pretty quickly he just hated musk
it was entertaining for a while but then it devolved to just repetition of a few things in every video, like whining about the hyperloop for 15min in a 20min long video about something that is slightly related to musk (not about hyperloop or anything)
I would guess many of the videos are still whining about hyperloop? or have a minute long rant about it before actually addressing/debunking the actual topic

This is like elementary mechanics. [math]\sigma=E\epsilon[/math] or [math]\frac{mg}{A}=E\frac{\Delta L}{L}[/math]. Rearrange to [math]\Delta L=\frac{mgL}{AE}[/math].

Assume Starship wet mass as 1300 tons, g=10, Super Heavy is 70 m tall, the cross sectional area for a 9 metre wide, 3 mm thick section is 0.042m^2 and modulus of steel is 200 GPa. Thus

That's cool, it's good wanting to know and investigate things that seem, at first, against your current beliefs and knowledge, for the sake of challenging one's worldview. And also I'd be interesting to see valid criticism of Musk's ideas and SpaceX plans in a purely technological sense, Like, for instance, debating whether or not they should have the first Starships as wet workshops or just bring them back, or Starship needing to have a different engine layout than the one it will use, etc. Or even things in a more general sense like the ol' O'neill cylinders vs planet dwellers debate as an ultimate goal. But in reality 99% of any Musk/SpaceX criticism in the wild is either some retarded, misinforming bullshit; a straight-out fucking lie; or just some ideological opinion that's pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things, especially if it's "capitalism bad" for the millionth time. The result is that for an outsider you'll be the one who looks like a blind fanatic. I'd be nice if people tried to at least get a little bit knowledgeable about a subject before they start parroting their ill-informed, strong opinions, often with malice. That's something I really hate about humanity.

I think it's incorrect to even consider the idea of ultimate goals. We can plan as far ahead as "Humans now routinely live their whole lives away from Earth in a growing space-based society" and from there basic progression dynamics will kick in. Fst forward ten thousand years and the greatest number of people will be living in the method which offers the greatest reproductive success, which will probably be space habitats surrounding many stars.

I should've worded it as a "relatively long-term goal".

Yeah, we'll reach such point in the future.
>incorrect to even consider the idea of ultimate goals.
I'm not even sure if there's even one, or if it makes sense to ask about one, as an absolute thing. As a species, the only thing that I can think of is basically surviving the universe, if it eventually has an end. And if it has, the goal in that instance would be either stopping that end or escaping this universe, so that life and consciousness can go on forever, I suppose that's the ultimate thing. Now, onto the why doing that... well, that's something I'm not entirely sure. Over the countless times I pondered about it, for now I'm tempted to say that due to the fact that we already exist we might as well do something, expanding life throughout the cosmos, instead of nothing, just staying in one place and ceasing to exist.

Yes. It’s just terminology so normies understand it.

30 seconds before the water deluge came on, there were loud clicks that were 100% igniter tests for the Raptors. SpaceX really was able to bring the count down to T-0 on their first test

The pad held 14 raptors for 7 seconds, and 11 raptors for 13 seconds, just fine. The actual launch will be 33 raptors for less than 3 seconds. It’s gonna be fine

Does ship 24 have a payload bay?

>> No.15150166

Why don't they just make a stainless steel launch pad for right underneath the engines? No blasted concrete. Can rocket fuel melt steel plates?

Yes, but they welded it shut.

Instead of concrete you have molten metal flying around

to add to that the exhaust temperature is around 700 C and that gets lowered even more by the deluge
