>>15317389ReallySo if I ask you to explain the significance of the equation in this image what will you do
>>15317396Since youre asking right now, why is it important to have an anon explain what Tsiolkovsky’s equation is over the internet when ChatGPT and Wikipedia exist and immediatly makes you asking that question irrelevant if not in person. ChatGPT) “The Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, also known as the ideal rocket equation, is a fundamental equation in rocket science that describes the motion of a rocket in terms of the amount of propellant it carries and its exhaust velocity. The equation expresses the relation between the mass of the rocket, the speed it needs to reach, the efficiency of the rocket engine, and the amount of propellant it must carry to achieve the desired speed. The significance of the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation lies in its role as a theoretical framework that allows engineers and scientists to design and optimize rocket propulsion systems for various missions, including space exploration, satellite launches, and interplanetary travel. It is a key tool for understanding the trade-offs between rocket mass, fuel efficiency, and mission performance.”

SOLAR SYSTEM COLONIZATION PLAN: Steps)1. Get Starship operational2. Set up outpost on Moon ice caps (data already known)3. Set up outpost on Martian poles4. Harvest water-ice for electrolysis5. Make LOx from electrolysis and refuel for Ceres/Callisto6. Send probe to Ceres to scout for best outpost spot7. Set up outpost on Ceres8. Check for underwater ocean/water ice for electrolysis9. Harvest/transpot water-ice for electrolysis10. Use JUICE and Europa Clipper to investigate landing and settlement sites on Callisto for water ice.11. Set up outpost on Callisto12. Harvest water-ice for electrolysis13. Make LOx from electrolysis of water14. Transport methane all the way along to use15. Blast off to Titan16. Set up outpost near methane lake17. Set up outpost on Enceladus to transport water-ice for processing18. Harvest liquid methane from lakes19. Create LOx and prepare to move fuel around the entire system20. Completely automate Starship movements/set up/landings21. Go wherever you want now, lakes of fuel and fully reusable rocket with multiple LOx plants around the entire solar systemYes I am a nigger faggot but IDC this is how we colonize in my chimp brain. Fuck your tubes and fuck your unproven NTR. Methalox is all we got right now. If you have suggestions that ARENT RETARDED let me know

>Elon Musk had always been an eccentric figure. From founding PayPal to revolutionizing the automobile industry with Tesla, he had always pushed the boundaries of what was possible. But now, he had set his sights on something even more audacious - landing his Starship rocket on the headquarters of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Washington D.C.It was a bold move, and one that had shocked the world. The FAA was responsible for regulating and overseeing all air and space travel in the United States, and its headquarters were heavily guarded. But Elon was undeterred. He believed that the FAA was stifling innovation and progress, and he was determined to make a statement.The night of the landing attempt, the world held its breath. The Starship rocket blasted off from its launch pad in Texas, hurtling towards the east coast at incredible speeds. As it approached D.C., the FAA scrambled to defend their headquarters. They deployed fighter jets, surface-to-air missiles, and every other weapon at their disposal.But Elon was not deterred. He had equipped the Starship with advanced sensors and navigational systems, allowing it to evade the FAA's defenses with ease. It weaved through the air, dodging missiles and bullets, and finally descended towards the FAA building.The FAA guards were in a state of panic. They had never faced an attack like this before, and they were outmatched. But they refused to back down. They fired their weapons at the Starship, trying to bring it down.

The FAA guards were in a state of panic. They had never faced an attack like this before, and they were outmatched. But they refused to back down. They fired their weapons at the Starship, trying to bring it down. Elon remained calm, cool, and collected. He expertly piloted the Starship, bringing it down on the roof of the FAA building with a gentle thud. The guards were stunned. They had expected a catastrophic explosion, but instead, the Starship had landed as smoothly as a feather. Elon emerged from the Starship, clad in his signature SpaceX suit. He strode towards the entrance of the FAA building, his head held high. The guards tried to stop him, but he brushed them aside with ease. He entered the building, determined to make his point.>Inside the building, chaos reigned. The FAA officials were scrambling to figure out what to do. They had never faced a threat like this, and they were unsure how to proceed. But Elon had a plan. He approached the head of the FAA, a stern-faced man with a buzz cut. "Listen," Elon said. "I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm here to make a point. The FAA is stifling progress and innovation, and that needs to change. I'm willing to work with you to find a way forward, but we need to start thinking outside the box.">The FAA head was taken aback. He had expected a hostile takeover, not a rational discussion. But he was also a practical man. He knew that Elon Musk was not someone to be taken lightly.>"Alright," the FAA head said. "Let's talk.">And so, in the hours that followed, Elon Musk and the FAA officials discussed the future of space travel. They explored new technologies, new ideas, and new ways of thinking. And in the end, they came to a mutual understanding.>Elon Musk had made his point. He had shown that the old ways of thinking were no longer enough. But he had also shown that progress could only be made through cooperation and collaboration.
>>15318154> manned trips to the outer planets on Hohmanns with methalox
>As the sun rose over Washington D.C., the Starship rocket remained parked on the roof of the FAA building, a symbol of the new era of space travel that was to come. And Elon Musk walked out of the building, a smile on his face, knowing that he had accomplished something truly remarkable.

>Nuclear: As with hydroelectricity, the EROI estimates for nuclear power span a very large range. Some claim that the EROI is actually less than 1—which would mean that the whole process is not a source of energy, but rather a sink—whereas others (such as the World Nuclear Association, an industry group) estimate that the EROI is much higher than perhaps any other source of energy, around 40 to 60 when using centrifuge enrichment. I drew on a paper that reviewed many studies, and estimated the EROI to be 5. Lenzen, “Life cycle energy and greenhouse gas emissions of nuclear energy: A review,” Energy Conversion and Management (2008) (link).How can nuclear be so low?

What is your response going to be when 'they' enforce diversity quotas on the Moon and Mars? Even space isn't safe.
>>15318988Plasma Magnet needs no testing because the idea is inherently perfect.
>>15318997I’m Muslim so I don’t know if ‘they’ will want me on mars or not
>>15318983>silly and overwrought.That's exactly what it's supposed to be like.
>>15319002You're a useful idiot, so you'll be used to undermine white settlements, same as on Earth.
>>15318997Only governments and failing companies do that. SeX is the clear forerunner, and they dont even touch the diversity shit. We will be fine if it is a fully commercial mission. Give up on NASA and the ESA, they will slowly die out or become completely reliant on inefficient oldspace companies (due to hatred of Elon). Roscosmos is dying due to neglect and the CNSA will never be for us westerners. Commercial/private space flight is the future.

Vega is so perplexing. It’s almost all solid stages and has commonality with Ariane 5 and 6. But it also is super expensive for its size, and has troubles with reliability.
>>15319009Also, if Astra is anything to go by, 'go woke go broke' still applies. #BLM
>>15319010All muslims are honorary browns.
Wake up babe new Soyuz rocket dropped >Soyuz-6>RD-180 first stage>Soyuz-2 upper stage
>>15319018UAE muzzies are alright. I like that their government is getting in to the whole space sphere. Hopefully they do some cool stuff.
>>15319017Fucking Astra lmao. Their collapse over summer was hilarious.

>>15319023How long until we have another Roscosmos embarrassment?
>>15319019Is this a new Soyuz-6 or is it the old Soyuz-6? Because I remember the old Soyuz-6 was a RD-180 user.
>>15319019New paper rocket to replace the paper rocket Soyuz-5? How stereotypically Roscosmos.
>>15319024Max-Q.
>>15319024Roscosmos is a constant embarrassment
>2023 and I am forgotten
>>15319024There's a Soyuz-2-1a launching a progress in May. The slavschedule looks clear until then.
Here's the orbital path of Starship launch
>>15319025It's because Roscosmos won't pay the money they owe the Kazakhs and is therefore skipping 5 altogether, seeing as that was supposed to be a joint effort. Russia is not doing as well financially as their shills would have you think.
>>15319035Its over Hawaiicels
Does anyone have a spacelaunch company tier list
>>15319031How can someone be forgotten if you are still posting about them? Seethe and sneed.

>>15319068Astra is certainly above blue origin, as shit as they are
>>15319068what an awful fucking ranking. are you a moron?
>>15319068anyone that has put something in orbit is superior to BO
>>15319068>Astra = RelativityDiscarded. Someone make a better tier list

>>15319151Cute!
>>15319161Kys tranny YWNBAW
>>15319162This means war
>>15317988>>15317996If OFT gets to orbit without blowing up. The startup industry for aerospace will rocket up into space on the trail left behind by Starship. Having a commercially available SLS class rocket for the cost of a Falcon 9 and same-y cadence with rideshare opportunities is unheard of.There's a crazy amount of VC the world of in American/European, and South East Asian markets that's just holding its breath for having SpaceX confirm success of the Starship launch; and its all ready to go cannons firing on that confirmation.
>>15319031Trump's such a butt blasted classless loser.
>>15319173Hopefully this kills off/forces mergers for these other shitty spacelaunch companies that wont be able to compete. Im so sick of Astra and Rocketlab… Relativity is the only startup space launch company I hope finds some success.
>>15319173I really hope that it goes well man… it failing would just absolutely suck.
>>15319031>its realI thought Trump only pretended to be retarded for his followers. Lmao
What percent chance do you realistically think Starship OFT has of succeeding fully? (i.e. catch booster, let Starship run its full course into the Pacific)
>>15319199He was such a fucking bore. Hopefully next Republican admin actually does something for the space sector, it will probably be blossoming by 2025. Any Democrat administration will just try and ruin SpaceX for connection to Elon, which will in then ruin the entire space sector.
>>15319204IF I clear the pad (if), there’s a good chance of making it to orbit IMO.
>>15319031I miss 2015-2016 Trump
Is the smallsat launch market a meme, or did Transporter flights just eat the entire competition?
>>15319037Why did Khazakhistan end cooperation on the Soyuz-5 launch pad but not the other ones? Also Putin finally admitted that sanctions hurt the Russian economy, which means that it’s actually fucking devastated
Why do spacesuits coat $1bn still? It better be comfy
L2 says that Ship 24 will be stacked and destacked before launch to test connections and shit, and then stacked a final time
>>15319249Probably because the other pads and projects are not joint ventures whereas 5 was and Russia did not pay their part of the tab.
>>15319244It is an absolute meme, especially when its been known that Starship is coming. Its the only market start ups can really get into since it doesnt cost so much and they can have a gimmick, but they take forever to really get up and running, and by the time they do Starship outclasses them in every single way, or they only have like 5 years without Starship threatening them.
>>15319204I don't think they're catching it?
>space force to get their uniforms NET 2025https://www.spaceforce.mil/News/Article/3346940/ussf-completes-service-dress-uniform-fit-tests/why does it take 5 years to create a uniform...
>>15319274Theyre catching booster but not Starship.
>>15319244Both, the former being the primary reason. Payloads being built by private companies are still pretty big and need something like a dedicated F9. Or they’re small as hell and barely do anything so it doesn’t matter what orbit they go to (so they just hitch a rideshare)No one is producing medium payloads that need their own orbit/destination. And it seems all these companies are now shifting toward “muh constellations” expecting that to be a big market or something. But it’s not going to be. Rocket Lab already missed their chance with oneweb and kuiper.<div class="xa23b"><span class="xa23t"></span><span class="xa23i"></span></div>
>>15319266oh my god cock tease
>>15319266and then it'll be pressure tested, static fired, then destacked, taken back to the construction site, get raptors replaced, and 2 months later it'll be rolled back to the launch site<div class="xa23b"><span class="xa23t"></span><span class="xa23i"></span></div>
>>15319275Same reason it takes big governments forever to do anything, bureacracy and corruption.>>15319279
>>15318534H3 tooIt's because space is hard.
>>15319275They're just a chair force division lol
>>15319266>>15319280Ty fren, now I atleast know it’s a cocktease.
>>15319278I don’t see Neutron being successful in the future desu. The majority of SpaceX flights aren’t even for customers, let alone commercial companies desu.
>>15319289>>15319280>>1531927999% chance NSF doesn’t reveal they already know it’s being destacked just to milk in money lol
>>15319249Because RKK Energia couldn't get Moscow to pay about $30M for an environmental assessment related to renovating Site 45 for Soyuz-5 launches. The Baiterek project doesn't have anything to do with normal operations at Sites 43 for Soyuz-2 or Site 200 for Proton.
What are some of the biggest memes in the space industry right now? Both concepts and companies
>>15319292Good grief do government environmental assessments really cost that much? The fuck do they do? Drill monitoring wells?
>>15319292Roscosmos is so pathetic bro. I really hope they get back on track but it looks like its way too late with SpaceX just dominating.
>>15319294SpinLaunch for sureWhatever fucking upgrades are planned for Ariane 6 (they will never happen)Nuclear Thermal PropulsionSSTO/SkylonAny new vehicle that is RussianAny new smallsat launcherAny non-Orion SLS flight
>>15319298It’s sad to see how far they’ve fallen but cracks in the system showed back when they had infighting between Korolev and Glushko.I still can’t believe they threw a pissy fit about Zenit being make in Ukraine before the invasion, when they could’ve just, you know, worked with them as international partners
>>15319296This is Kazakhstan. I wouldn't call them the most corrupt nation in central Asia, but the general idea with regard to Baikonur seems to be to squeeze the Russians for as much as they can before they pull out in 2030.
The wet dress rehearsal scared the fuck out of me and I am still really anxious about it

>>15319318Fuck off faggot stop feeding him bullshit. >>15319319OFT animation by Ryan Hansen Space is relatively accurate to what they HOPE to accomplish for the maiden launch, Elon liked it on Twatter as well, so probably means it's relatively accurate.

India beating out Europe to become the fourth country with manned spaceflight capabilities is one thing. Developing a next-generation crew spacecraft that operates in the same space that Hermes was supposed to fill would be too wild for words.
>>15319542They want to do a miniature space shuttle. The original plans, with flyback booster.
>>15319542What the fuck went wrong with esa
>>15319550JUICE
>>15319550They would have shit like a German astronaut being launched financed by Romanian tax money. Also, they can just rely on the US (and formelly Russia) to get to the ISS so there is no point in trying anyway.
>>15319294Definitely Starship
even if starship does well, it's going to be 5-10 years before we really see companies take advantage of it, and 20+ years before we see the good shit
>>15319565Guaranteed Shuttle or SLS cuck right here btw.
>>15319569They already signed a contract for a moon mission dropping off a rover in 2026, thats also ridesharing other things going there. 2025 I guarantee it will already be shipping SHIT tons to LEO.
>>15319550They assumed that they were a bigger deal than they really were. In exchange for having most of the Western ISS modules built in Italy they got to send up crew in a program similar to the one the Soviets used for flying cosmonauts from non-Russian SSR countries. They then gaslit themselves into thinking this made them just as important a partner as Russia when they were really on the same tier as Japan.
>>15319575Russia, Japan and Europe are all basically on the same tier now. Somehow India will be rising to join them, and China is between the US and those countries. It is fucking bonkers how fast the west is falling.

>>15319621Shut the fuck up nigger, you know this is cope for your off topic post. Thats also completely irrelevant since nothing launches from Cali, and you know it irrelevant.
>>15319624We still need SpaceX headquarters to move.
>>15319622So much this!
>>153196213 new SpaceX being built in Texas, 1 in FloridaTexas is likely the new HQ candidate imo.
>>15319569Nah, a lot of startups have been developing stuff betting on starship and no doubt new startups will start popping up as VCs pour money inIts going to take a long time before government organizations, universities, big legqcy compqnoes and so on get on board, but idk, government and the legqcy companies are kind of irrelevant anyway
>>15319569Quite a few are taking advantage of it already. Given the low cost ride, it would mean new companies would get funded right off the bat.

Weird scenario but let’s say Starship OFT lights its engines but aborts, but a few tiles fall off the Ship. Would SpaceX destack just to reapply tiles to the ship, or would they recycle and launch knowing that it’s missing a few?
>>15319703I guess they would like to try to get SS back from orbit even if they aren't fully counting on it
>>15319691wasn't elon always pessimistic about ai?i think he made some doomer statement about ai a years ago before even the coof happened
>>15319703most likely just keep it fully fueled and stacked and send a few mexicans up on their tallest cherrypickers to reattach them
