The biggest thing we’ve learned from BO’s failures is that there really is a limited pool of aerospace talent that can get things done. It seems like outside of SpaceX and certain teams at NASA, most aerospace work is done in this weird bubble where progress is always a year or two away, and where anything that does get done takes years of bureaucratic drudgery done by teams that are way too large and cumbersome.

It especially sucks when you consider that our launch capabilities are going up so quickly that SpaceX could very easily get something out there before JUICE even if it only started on making the payload just now, but nobody will send anything like that for a while because "they're already sending a mission, why send another right now?"
I mean, the Dragonfly is getting to Titan in 2034, and that's only if everything goes according to schedule (which it obviously never does). Imagine if SpaceX just said fuck it and made their own Titan payload, launched it via starship and got it there in '27.

It's really not.

Tracking it is easy. You can restock it in the same flight as you go up to it. You don't need to reboost it if you just put it in a higher orbit. And considering that it'll just be a small luxury thing it's not like you'll need the extra mass that Starship can bring to a lower orbit. These costs are negligible. The upfront cost of building it and getting it to orbit isn't that bad. Needing to pay for a full Starship flight each time you want to go to and from your space station is the real problem.
>>15367706
Yeah, maybe we'll see a big station built in a higher orbit with it being more like its own resort. That would greatly alleviate a lot of the concerns and problems as you'd be able to bring people up to and down from the station hundreds at a time rather than needing to use a Starship for just a few people at a time. Basically leveraging scale to make it practical. Sort of odd to think that a luxury Stanford torus is more feasible than small private space stations.
Maybe it would be comprised of two counter-rotating donuts so that it could have a section jutting out from the middle that would be a zero gravity area.

>generally people don't give a shit about space or even know about it
you have launches from Florida (and other places too) and sense of national pride in being first on the Moon and have shit like Star Wars and Star Trek that feeds the interest further. Russian only sense of pride is Gagarin and WWII. That's their religion.
But for Europe, spaceflight is something that happens entirely outside of Europe and "therefore it's not important and not our concern".
People are very ignorant about things that don't concern them or at least things that aren't visible.

There's some pride in France about Ariane, there are also pride about national european astronauts (nobody cares about astronauts of other european countries tho); But in the end there's only so much public interest space can create without an indigenous Manned program or REALLY flashy missions like mars rovers (kek exomars).

>I believe we need European launch site in continental Europe, first and foremost.
>And it had to be somewhere where people actually live and can see and hear it
Kinda mutually incompatible isn't it?
It's Either norway or northern Scotland if you want an actual large scale polar/high latitude launch center; and nobody live there, I guess scotland can appeal to the british national pride, but Britain has been uninterested in launchers since the 70s and Orbex and Skyrora are only starting to change that.

Then there's Azores and Canaries (one Pegasus actually launched there once), but that has the same problems as French Guyana, it's too far away.

That only really leaves Cornwall/Brittany as places with decent inclination for polar launches that already had some experience with space launches (Launcher one for the former, French ICBM tests for the later) that also are decently populated and driveable.

Mediterranean coast (in spain and italy) was also considered back in the 60s, but it's WAY too built up now.

thats a far cry from a permanent private space station
also, its not only about the cost of the space station itself, you would need to have reasonably cheap transit there
Lets say you could make some cheapo space station and launch it with Starship for 50 mil, but starship is not human rated for years and you would be forced to pay 50mil a pop to get to the station each time

Kek no, unless you live in the country with the launch site you will not give a single shit. A rocket launching from southern Spain/northern Sweden/wherever will be no different for the average person in Europe to one launching from Florida.

The second tier enables research and development activities by counties. The third tier offers human spaceflight missions on a regular basis. A fourth tier offers countries the ability to co-develop parts of Axiom’s station.

>The first country to join the program is Azerbaijan, which will work with Axiom on satellite solutions and inspiring students to pursue space research and development activities. New Zealand and Uzbekistan are also participating, as well as Rakia Mission, an Israeli space education and research organization involved with the Ax-1 private astronaut mission to the ISS a year ago.

>Italy is another nation working with Axiom through a partnership that dates back to 2018. An Italian astronaut is slated to fly on Axiom’s Ax-3 mission to the ISS, currently scheduled for late 2023. Two astronauts from Saudi Arabia are flying on the Ax-2 mission in May.

> Private astronauts make up the second part of the market. “They want to go. They find us,” he said. “It’s not about convincing them they should go. It’s about how you get them to go.”

>The third, and potentially biggest, part of the market is corporations. “That’s the future of Axiom, where the value really gets created, like the internet,” Bhatia said.

> The challenge there is convincing companies that they can conduct research and development in space that will be profitable. “There’s a big jump from the science experiments that have been done in space and reports on the potential return to a CEO of a Fortune 100 company being able to go out to Wall Street analysts and say, ‘I’m going to make this big investment,” he said.

https://spacenews.com/nasa-releases-architecture-for-human-exploration-of-the-moon-and-mars/

>Speaking at the 38th Space Symposium April 18, NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy rolled out a 150-page document describing its plans for the initial series of Artemis missions to the moon and how they fit into a set of more than 60 objectives for its long-term plans for human missions to the moon and Mars.

>“The architecture concept review details plans for early human exploration of the moon’s south pole,” she said. “It provides more definition for plans through Artemis 4 and sets the stage for the first crewed missions to Mars.”

>The document describes how the various programs in development fit together to carry out those missions, such as the Space Launch System, Orion, Gateway and Human Landing System. Those programs are linked to specific objectives, functions and use cases for those missions.

>Along with the architecture document, NASA released several white papers to explain aspects of the architecture, such as the use of the near-rectilinear halo orbit around the moon and the Gateway that will operate in it.

> Other NASA officials have noted tweaks to earlier plans for later phases of Artemis, such as a shift from a single “base camp” at the lunar south pole to several sites that could be visited on later Artemis missions.

>

Jim Free, NASA associate administrator for exploration systems development, said at an April 17 briefing that, because of changing lighting conditions at the south pole, missing a launch window for a particular site might delay a mission there by months. “We could maybe have two or three sites to go to that help our science diversity,” he said.

> DISH TV Adding to Fleet with New Maxar Satellite Order
>April 18, 2023
>WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Maxar Technologies (NYSE: MAXR) (TSX: MAXR), provider of comprehensive space solutions and secure, precise, geospatial intelligence, received an order for a direct broadcast satellite from DISH, designated ES XXV. This geostationary (GEO) communications satellite will be operated by DISH and deliver content across North America.
>ES XXV will be built on the proven Maxar 1300TM series platform at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Palo Alto and San Jose, California. ES XXV will be equipped with a high-power, multi-spot beam payload, allowing DISH to provide high-quality content to its customers. A high-resolution render of the spacecraft is available here.
>“The GEO market remains important, and Maxar’s experience delivering value for our customers continues to be a key focus,” said Chris Johnson, Maxar’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of Space. “We offer scalable platforms to support a variety of missions, and we’re proud to continue that legacy with this new order.”
>ES XXV joins a fleet of Maxar spacecraft in orbit. Since 1999, Maxar has manufactured 11 satellites for DISH TV’s fleet, including several of the largest commercial satellites ever built.

How could the probe developers have any ambition if there is no way to could actually realize their ambitions? SLS will not be used for probes and Starship will take some years before it can be used for this purpose. I'm almost sure JUICE started being developed before BFR was a thing. It's not the probe's fault it has to work around limitations that are beyond what the developers are currently capable of.

No, probably not. As long as there was some level of non-negligible gravity children would develop "fine." "Fine" being okay for that planet's gravity and below. Any space-fairing human civilization that were to exist long term and not only on very Earth-like planets would require either spin-grav stations as the backbone of the civilization or very advanced genetic engineering that could make humans develop correctly regardless of the level of gravity. Barring that, the civilization would effectively degrade into a caste system ordered by the level of gravity you were born and raised in, with people from higher gravity being higher on the pyramid and people from lower gravity being lower on the pyramid.

If you had a time machine, time paradoxes aside, when and where would you travel back so that the state of spaceflight today could be the best? I'm tempted to answer when N1 started development, so that I can personally hand Korolev the failure reports for all the N1 launch attempts we had. Or maybe to 2002 and give Elon a flash drive with the entire documented history of SpaceX so that he doesn't commit the same mistakes and hyper-accelerates the Mars mission.

>The Axiom Space Access Program, announced April 17, offers countries a tiered approach to conducting research on the International Space Station or Axiom’s future commercial space station, as well as flying their own astronauts.
>In the base tier, Axiom provides countries with advice and insight, and gives those countries priority access on upcoming missions. The second tier enables research and development activities by counties. The third tier offers human spaceflight missions on a regular basis. A fourth tier offers countries the ability to co-develop parts of Axiom’s station.

Putting lowered strain on muscles and bone will make them weaker. This can be compensated for in adults by exercise. Babies cannot exercise.

This sort of inflatable heat shield is cool because it gives most of the benefits of a spaceplane in terms of rapid reuse while also avoiding the tile problems (the entire shield is one modular part which can be swapped out and refurbished on a separate cadence) and the dry mass of full wings and landing gear.

They were high-T men that felt, above all, they had a duty to do the missions. Not all of them loved going to space the same way modern astronauts do. Remember that the jump from first human in space to first rendezvous to first docking to the first moon landing was only like 8 years. Safety was definitely not guaranteed

6 to 8 years, if we're being generous. Most of the Angara stuff can be used to make it happen. What is really gonna take time is any of the proposed payloads for it. Beyond a new Luna mission or space-tug concept, there really isn't anything for Yenisei to launch. The Orel spacecraft is basically Orion-lite and is too expensive to effectively replace Soyuz, which will always be the bread-and-butter of Roscosmos. If China pitches in we could maybe see some elaborate robotic missions and stuff.

I have a dream future where Russia detaches it's half of the ISS before the scheduled de-orbit and nicks off with whatever ESA/NASA junk they can steal. I want the ISS to turn into a shambling space-hulk like the Admiral Kuznetsov. It would be kino.

>>15369226
I disagree.
Falcon 9 stage 2 is a way higher energy stage than Centaur, and it uses sub cooled kerolox in a gas generator engine. The low density of hydrogen is simply that shit, that it can add ruin the wet-dry mass ratio enough to completely nullify the Isp gains of hydrolox. Even without sub cooling the kerolox, it's still a much better stage (we just don't see its massive performance go to work as effectively because it stages very low and slow vs centaur).
Methalox is great because it's still got the density advantage, it's more efficient than kerolox, it burns a little cooler so you get a bit bitter performance from your turbines, and most importantly it's possible to do fuel-rich preburners and turbines with it. However, as I mentioned before, you don't need to use staged combustion to exceed what the best hydrolox engines can get you in terms of real world stage performance (X mass to Y orbit). You only need staged combustion to truly unlock the power of methalox.

>Short stays are NOT justifiable from a moral perspective
They're not justifiable from a more technical perspective either. NASA is only considering opposition transfers because of pressure from old space lobbyists and because the military is using them as the public face for space nuclear technology development so a Mars mission using NEP or NTP might be a better sell to congress. Certainly the decades worth of development for a mission that realistically would happen no earlier than 2040 would line many pockets. Only recently have they alluded to the fact that these transfers can also be done by chemical so now they're doubling down on mass autism to imply vehicles like Starship would be bad while ignoring that these transfers take more delta-v compared to conjunction transfers, which reduces payload capability far more than the differences between the proposed propulsion methods.

The safest space for any astronaut that isn't on Earth, is in a pressurized structure covered by regolith as shielding, not loitering in space to get a slightly shorter total mission duration. The next safest place would be in vehicle like Starship which by then would be well vetted versus new technology with more unknown failure modes.

You can control-f that whole document and find no mention of Starship. It's worth pointing out is that their NEP or NTP cuckships would be assembled and refueled in high Earth orbit before departing for Mars so those operations help justify using SLS and even Orion over Starship which may itself need refueling to get an equal amount of payload to that orbit.

>“There were a lot of deals that we haven’t participated in over the last five years because the companies were overvalued,” said Megan Crawford, co-founder of venture capital firm SpaceFund.

>“I like to refer to this as the magic space sprinkles,” she said, “you add space, or AI, or blockchain to the name of your company and all of a sudden the valuation goes up by 100x.”

>She said this issue was compounded by a spurt of early-stage space companies that went public in recent years by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), often with lofty business projections despite a lack of current revenues.

>Their high-profile valuations helped raise price tags across the rest of the industry, however, the vast majority of early-stage companies that merged with a SPAC have since significantly underperformed in the public market.

>“On the public side, I think there’s a lot of blowback from public equity investors about the newspace sector,” said Matt Kuta, chief operating officer at industry consolidator Voyager Space.

>He said “a lot of institutional investors have lost hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, and that then trickles down to the folks that are looking to allocate private capital.”

>The poor trading performance of space companies that went public via a SPAC, coupled with high inflation and other macroeconomic challenges, are weighing on valuations as investors become more conservative in general.

>The hype that had been inflating space valuations is “starting to fade,” Crawford said, “and we’re starting to see deals that are a lot more in line with what we think are the real valuations of a lot of these … companies that we think were highly over-valued over the last couple of years.”

Surprisingly the biggest bottleneck is not the SLS production line, it's the contractor in charge of the mobile launchers. NASA OIG flipped his lid over how incompetent they've been (they have a pretty good defense though, NASA kept changing the SLS design as the mobile launcher was being built, requiring massive redesigns). Coupled with JPL shitting the bed on Psyche and bringing the entire robotic space program to a screeching halt, the entire agency is going nowhere fast

I think in the long run the SLS will be seen as a success but I expect whatever organizational changes are necessary to fix the program management that got them into this mess will take at least another wave of retirements (~20 years) and the planetary community will see the moon program as public enemy number one as long as Congress keeps it going

Access to 24-hour-a-day sunlight. This makes solar power a consistent, economical energy source. Photovoltaic panels can convert sunlight into electrical current, and solar mirrors can concentrate it for process heat in industrial operations (such as the smelting of ore). A space-based solar concentrator the size of a football field (which could still weigh less than a car) could provide process heat equivalent to the burning of 1 million barrels of oil over 30 years.
Sunlight also drives the life-support system of the habitat, so the day/night cycle can be set to whatever is convenient. Compare this to the moon, where there are 14 days of continuous daylight, and then a 14-day-long night. Here, some alternate energy source would probably have to be used half the time.
Access to zero gravity. This may have a number of industrial and entertainment possibilities. Structures (such as the above-mentioned solar mirrors) could be built many times larger and flimsier in space than on a planet. Zero G would be a liability if there were no alternative to it. Astronauts experience loss of bone mass and muscle tone after prolonged exposure to weightlessness. But most of a space habitat would be under Earth-normal gravity, although there would be easy access to regions of reduced gravity and zero G (perhaps for personal flight). With planets, on the other hand, you have to take the gravity that's there, and it's often the wrong kind of gravity to keep us healthy. Lunarians or Martians would probably not be able to visit the Earth (nor accelerate at 1 G).
Control of the environment. The weather and other aspects of the surroundings would be those of the inhabitants' choosing. Agriculture in space will benefit from weather control (fresh fruits and vegetables year-round) and the absence of pests.

Mobile territories. Although the first generation of space habitats will doubtless reside in High Earth Orbit, there's no reason why space settlers couldn't attach engines to their habitats, and over the course of months or years gradually change their orbit to whatever solar system location they found preferable.
Long-term expansion of the land area available to the human race. Let's be optimistic and assume that Mars could be made totally Earth-like in the near-term. This would basically double the land area available to humanity, meaning problem solved...until the population doubles again. By contrast, if we were to conservatively limit ourselves to using only the resources of the asteroid belt, we could build, in the form of space habitats, 3,000 times the livable surface area of the Earth. This makes space settlement a long-term solution.

And for to serve my kyng and God aright,
I took my men and banners bright and light.

But as I lay in camp upon a day,
A wonder thing bifel that changed my way,
A ship of silver from the hevene came,
And broghte me to londes of newe name.

Ther fond I folk that were of fremd aspect,
And eek of cruel and of foul effect,
They wolde have slain me and my men outright,
But with Goddes grace we hem did reject.

And thanne I had a thought of heigh emprise,
To make me lord of al that world so wyde,
And for to preche there the Cristen wyse,
And make the hethen folk their goddes chyde.

And so with many a batayle and a stour,

I crowned me a kyng with muchel flour,
And lived in ese, joye, and socour.

And se my Lord that for my love was slayn,

>Any additional money for MSR in 2023 would require reprogramming money from elsewhere in the agency, a process that requires congressional approval through an operating plan. NASA has not yet published an operating plan for fiscal year 2023.

> Nelson was responding to a question from the subcommittee’s chair, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who was concerned about the effects MSR was having on other parts of NASA’s science budget. In its 2024 budget proposal, NASA said it was delaying work on a heliophysics mission, the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC), and slowing work on technology development for a future astrophysics flagship mission, the Habitable Worlds Observatory, because of cost growth in MSR.

>“Some of those costs are not going to be avoided, and we’re going to have to make choices,” Nelson said, suggesting that MSR itself might be delayed. “You can get it done, but it may not be done right on the time we’re hoping it would be done. If you stretch it out over a longer period of time, you can get the problem done.”

> The budget pressures on NASA’s science budget could extend to another mission, the Dragonfly spacecraft in development to go to Saturn’s moon Titan. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said he was worried about Dragonfly after the 2024 budget request offered $327.7 for the mission, compared to $400.1 million it received in 2023. NASA’s 2023 budget proposal projected spending $317.8 million on Dragonfly in 2024.

> Van Hollen interpreted the 2024 request as a cut to Dragonfly that could delay its launch, even though NASA says it remains on schedule. “Everything I know from the experts is that it doesn’t compute. You can’t cut by 20% and still remain on target,” he said. He added he was “troubled” by the state of MSR even as Dragonfly passed its recent preliminary design review.

NTA, but I don't think it's even a wealth problem, I think it's a stability problem. It's a multifaceted mess of competing incentives and disincentives that counteract each other. Countries where people can leave home early have better TFRs than those that don't, countries where it's harder to fire you have greater TFR, and countries where houses are bigger have greater TFR, and countries where people own their houses have greater TFRs.
So, to raise TFR in rich industrialised countries we'd need a good economy like the Americans, French style worker's rights, and 1980s housing prices for four or five bedroom

It's not "capitalist greed", because socialism has also utterly failed to keep birthrates up (north Korea is and Cuba are Germany level, and China is probably the lowest), typically plummeting them even worse than capitalist systems (the US is the western country with the highest birth rate in the west, immigrants excluded. The next three are Norway, Sweden, and France. The worst are South Korea, Italy/Spain, and Russian Russia). The issue is when the economy is monopolised by massive state supported corporations and the country overurbanizes.
If I were to say, the solution is more capitalism. Particularly small business and startup based capitalism, as well as widespread adoption of remote work and a push for ruralization.

Those gigantic welfare programs exist for immigrants, pensioners, and corruption, not for the native middle class. The native middle class gets nothing. Furthermore, the amount spent in actually raising the birthrates is very low. Which country is spending 1-2% of GDP exclusively on raising birthrates? It's all spent in paying immigrants not to revolt and buying votes from feminist wine aunts.
But anyway, we're going away from Spaceflight.

Why is calling other people "childish" such a common argument against those who defy the status quo? It spreads from art and entertainment up to social norms, and even engineering it seems.

The common cars you see out there cost a lot to be developed. The price is affordable to consumers because they are mass produced, thus the R&D price gets diluted. Those probes are expensive because they are used pretty much a single time. Probes that reuse components from other missions are significantly cheaper. (I think Lucy and DART are examples of this).

People are bad because they don't want to waste all their lives working like slaves so that they can barely raise a kid to do the exact same thing?
And peasants from a hundred years ago didn't had a lot of children for the sake of moral righteousness, they did it because it was essential to survive. They needed young hands to work with them in the farm and to take care of them when they got too old. Having children is the original retirement plan.
