>>15373151
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Starship, is in fact, Starship-Super Heavy, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Super Heavy plus Starship. Starship is not a Mars settlement vehicle unto itself, but rather another multimillion dollar component of a fully functioning Earther destruction system made useful by the Super Heavy booster, incinerated beetles, and illegal alien welders comprising a full send as defined by Elon.

Many Mars settlers use a modified version of the Super Heavy system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Super Heavy which is widely used these synods is often called "Starship", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Super Heavy system, developed by the Super Heavy team.

There really is a Starship, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Starship is the rocket: the payload in the system that allocates the Earthers' resources towards ends that will result in their destruction. The rocket is an essential part of an Earther destruction system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of an independent Mars and total beetle extinction. Starship is normally used in combination with the Super Heavy booster: the whole system is basically Super Heavy with Starship added, or Starship-Super Heavy. All the so-called "Starship" bombardments are really bombardments from Starship-Super Heavy.

5+ raptors out before that, might be control issues; might be later in trajectory due to more fuel to burn; might be leaking prop due to broken raptors, changing mixture ratio. Don't even know if the logic reached the sep point. (i.e. speed, angle not stable enough to iniate flip manouver)

Flip is normal. What didn't happen after the flip was the stage separation, thus the rocket lost control because now you have a Starship on top of the Superheavy thats completely flipped for boostback burn.

The problem at the cause was stage separation.

With 5 engines out, it should've burnt into T+3 min before separation so that's why the velocity was so low. The big visible flames indicate something was bleeding methane quick.

Yeah, I believe the stage separation was supposed to happen during the first rotation. When that didn't happen, the rocket body lost control and did a barrel roll instead with the extra mass that the engine wasn't able to stabalize properly.

It has been patently obvious to any serious person since the start of this clowning around with water towers idiocy that it would never work. Aerospace manufacturing uses a completely different set of tolerances and expectations from the techniques that these fools are using to build glorified mock-ups.

The prototypes are built without any of the precision engineering that is essential in the aerospace industry. Further, it must be remembered that such expectations of precision exist for a reason: building a launch vehicle that is sufficiently reliable to meet customers’ expectations is a profoundly challenging task. Fireworks like you saw today may be exciting to ignorant children (and man-children), but they are shameful to sober adults.

The “starship” lost 6 engines in two minutes of flight, flipped out during staging, and failed to even separate. So much for “reusability”. Plus with the ridiculous debris flying everywhere during liftoff that would never be tolerated by any organization taking a launch seriously.

SpaceX is bringing shame to the American aerospace industry. It should be nationalized immediately to prevent the erosion of national launch capability. We should also look into investigating Musk for fraud to set an example of what happens to apartheid-holdover racists.

Finally, I must emphasize that just because many will find this post to be objectionable does not mean it is “bait” — i.e., structured purely to provoke a response. Actual aero engineering student here and in all my exposure to the industry, there is almost an allergic aversion to the chaos that seems to characterize the SpaceX approach to flailing in search of results. It is critical to disavow this irresponsible approach to avoid normalizing hazardous development practices that will cause accidents (and subsequent heavy regulation of this sector).

Just imagine if the boondoggle today had carried a crew: no new launch licenses to startups for 10 years.

Ship and/or booster uses TVC and/or RCS to enter a spin, rotates 360 degrees and stages separate, booster then continues rotating another 180 degrees before arresting it's spin with an RCS impulse, then performs boostback.
Only tricky addition is that Starship has to arrest it's spin after separation, but that's not a huge problem, just need a little kick from RCS.

I don’t care much for how the branding is supposed to provoke an association. And it is branding, which shows the type of low common denominator that SpaceX is trying to pander to. “Fly on Starship! (but first sign this liability waiver) “

The fact is that the embarrassment we saw today failed to function as a launch vehicle should, and the failures were wildly inconsistent with what might be expected for a test flight. This shows the lack of diligence that characterizes the SpaceX approach.

SLS achieved all of its major objectives on its first launch. This is the result of having realistic expectations and showing the appropriate respect and diligence to an incomprehensibly involved systems engineering effort. The approach that SpaceX is taking fails to capture this necessary respect.

Remember that a Saturn V launch is literally the second loudest noise humanity has produced, second only to a nuke.
If you were less than a mile from a Saturn V when it took off you would literally die from having your organs ripped apart.

The Earth is flat with a dome.
God exists.

Aliens don't exist.
Space isn't real.
Gravity doesn't exist.
Never went to the moon.
Asteroids don't exist.
UFOs are a psyop.
Nukes don't exist.
Evolution is a lie.
Germ Theory is a lie.

The world is ruled by secret societies that worship Satan. Jews/Jesuits/Freemasons/Illuminati are Gnostics and Kabbalists. Masters at deception. One satanic philosophy is inverting reality.

the russians had a very decent chance at a moonshot if they had just stick with soyuz, they had a very sound plan which implied the vehicle docking in earth orbit with just 3 launches. 3 launches of the most reliable rocket ever built (until falcon 9 ofc) . They had this way before saturn v was operational. But of course, it would have been less spectacular, it would have implied russians implying lateral thinking an intelligence instead of trying to have the bgigest cock, this was their doom their cock exploded and 60 years later a balding video game programmer who smokes weed invested all of his fortune and still can't make the concept work

we aren't really talking about moonshots here, starship was always about reaching the point where rockets shifted from research launchers/commercial satellite lifters to true colonization vehicles.

The classic Space Elevator from Earth's Crust to orbit is likely not possible. The true path is a hybrid system of systems. Chemical rockets or space planes akin to the SR-71 BlackBird can be used to lift people and cargo above the bulk of Earth's atmosphere. Then they would meet the SkyHook at it's lowest point, 70-100K feet to transfer the cargo to the tether system and hopefully an orbital ring one day.

Once the items enter the tether system we are working on space math and space forces not the Earth's atmosphere. We get all our energy for the tether system from space as well, so no huge rocket fuel tanks needed past the space plane stage.

Also please note I NEVER SAID you can build this shit without rockets. I only contend that rockets are old tech, we need to be using them to leap frog into better tech.

I normally do the math on how many of this EXPLODING STARSHIPS it will take to lift a single USS Enterprise into orbit, it's impossible to do.

As soon as second stage stays in orbit for more than two or three times around, I expect them to put Starlinks into it.

They don't get any proper funding to do jack shit, it's why they don't go anywhere.

Pad falls under this, it's called over engineering. As anons point out a flame trench was standard operating procedure but Elon had to be special like always and it fucked up.

KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

actual smart people know that, elon, not so much

PS once they fix the pad issue it'll be another issue, it's too complicated. A rat's nets of issues.

The raised mount is not a bad idea. It gives the engine exhaust more distance to dissipate itself away from the vehicle. The problem is that as of right now, the flame has nowhere to go but down, which leaves it rebounding in all directions once it hits something. Normally, the flames diverted with a trench structure that helps guide it into an open air path, but SpaceX thought they could forego this structure to save costs. Obviously that did not work.

So what happened is :

1) Raptors go full thrust (maybe 1 or 2 stops)
2) The power creates a moon crater underneath , flying concrete to the engine bells and fucking 3 or 4 engines more
3) At this point the SS is flying with 5/6 * 230t = 1150t /1380t of thrust less , so T/W ratio barely more than 1
4) Hydraulics decides to fuckign explode , shutting down the TVC
5) At least 2 engines explodes and creates a masive imbalance of thrust

At least they learned A LOT

this could have easily been prevented if they did actual static fire tests instead of just doing short 1/10 of a second braaps to see if all the engines start up.
who could have guessed that blasing the pad full force for several seconds impacts the concrete differently than just a short braap.

I think so, yes. Hydraulics and springs scale with the size of the rocket in a way that's not great because Starship is such a beefy boy. You have bigger parts and bigger forces. Meanwhile drag scales with the size of a craft so the bigger the craft, the better it works.

that is steel for you baby. Just shows what a tough mothrefucker this beast is. Blows a crater under its pad, wrecking its ass and then does roundhouse flips mid air several times and STILL did not disintegrate.

This thing is absolutely going to make if they keep pushing it and ironing out the defects which primarily seems to be the thrust diversion (lack of it) at the pad atm

Have they confirmed that it was a separation issue, and not the rocket falling end over end too soon? i'm not convinced that the clamps retracted because when it's 90 got a 90 degree angle of attack at such a low altitude, there's A LOT of aero forces pushing it.

>This thing is absolutely going to make if they keep pushing it and ironing out the defects which primarily seems to be the thrust diversion (lack of it) at the pad atm
Nigga, no.
The flaps are the problem.
They make the stack unstable due to CoL way ahead of CoM.
This is compensated only by the gimbals in the booster.
But at sep there must be no thrust, or you risk ramming the upper stage. You also need to stay as still as possible.

So it is either almost hot staging, or the flaps must stay retracted or removed.

The design is wrong. Starship as it is is ngmi.

The thing with the concrete is, once a bit of it goes it creates an edge that catches exhaust and leads to further destruction.
The fact that all of it is gone doesn't really say much about how far off it was to none of it being gone.

Went through MaxQ
Failed at MECO (shutting down all the engines in time)
When the roll started, the Ship didn't separate, likely due to the engines still being on.
As Starship was still attached while doing flip burn maneuver, it meant the rocket system was aerodynamically unstable
Which led to spinning rockets
Which led to FTS being activated

I'd say certainly not, the Shuttle which was much less durable, with more brittle tiles and a fundamentally much less heat resistant structure regularly took off and reentered missing scores of tiles. The critical part is which tiles are lost. Those on broad flat surfaces are fairly safe to lose because that large surface area can absorb a lot of heat before melting, however points where heat concentrates like the vehicles nose, wing shoulders and roots, leading edges, etc can get welding hot during reentry and the tiles there are critical. If those are lost then the vehicle's ability to perform reentry can be dangerously compromised.

Yeah. B7/S24 are "old" builds.

Furthermore, there's some theory that this whole problem could be due to a single chain reaction from a single root cause. Concrete.
