I'm pissed that a company that has never made orbit and can't deliver engines ended up with such an important contract.

Damn Rogozin really hit the wall hard

we're going to see The Social Network type movies in a couple years about Musk and it will be terrible

>>15457804
elon wont approve this unless it can get pregnant

>>15457785
Yeah, well they'll waste the money and fuck it up, but that was basically guaranteed on a project planned by congress based on political considerations and implemented based on the personal financial interests of the same politicians.

Sadly, the only hope for the future depends on private enterprise and the generosity of trillionaires.

>>15457781
huh, I didn't know that northrop switched to team dynetics. Someone somewhere might be feeling like they missed an opportunity.

Lol no

How is trying to make hydrogen storable not just a fools errand? it's the lightest element, and by definition slips through any material you can think of easily, it causes embrittlement, and I think ignition mentioned that wherever you store hydrogen, you end up getting two types of it with different properties.
We've been working on hydrogen storage for decades and we still haven't really 'solved' it, what is Jeff smoking thinking he's going to achieve long term storage and transfer in space within a few years?

>>15457933
the BO lander is an abomination. Had they picked a sensible fuel they could've even caught up to SpaceX since the BO lander is modest. But yeah.

>>15457933
Reminder that they've even decided to use hydrogen for the RCS, it's completely hydrologgs, no hypergolics. Crazy bastards.

>>15457891
Not if the writer's strike makes them all unemployed

why dont we see more foreign american space companies like virgn and rocketlab? surely someone could scoop up alot of eu money by making a european american space company.

LOL

>>15457965

>>15457933
>slips through any material you can think of easily
not really
>causes embrittlement
not in all materials
>you end up getting two types of it with different properties
the hydrogen is already fueled up as the second kind.
This problem is solved.
>Reminder that they've even decided to use hydrogen for the RCS, it's completely hydrologgs, no hypergolics
Insanely based

>>15457943
RCS has to fire umpteen times without fail, how's Team Jeff relighting that bitch?

>>15457973
Just a glow plug or spark gap.

>>15457939
But muh ISRU that won't happen for years!

>>15457978
it's not that simple in hydrologgery

>>15457965
Oops, wrong link. The real one is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qKlU2a9-Zg

>>15457965
Is this real

>>15457965
>>15457885

>>15457973
Implying they're going to light a hydrogen RCS at all. Monoprop w. catalyst or whatever.

>>15457964
The EU is all about grift now. All the billions of "incentives" are set up to lure the biggest scammers, who then split their profits with the politicians, so nothing really gets done, especially from the public sector. And, the EU is pretty much a socialist hellhole, and the only thing you get from socialism is mediocrity and complacency, so the talent pool is fucked. Also, in most countries here it's illegal to work more than 8 hours, and you have mandatory vacation days, healthcare payments and other dumb shit. Good luck competing with SpaceX, as a private company with those rules.
t. euromediocre

>>15457994
Hydrogen does not catalytically decompose.
Also they confirmed it to be hydrogen and oxygen https://twitter.com/blueorigin/status/1648472027760820228

>>15457994
???
They don't want prop that can't be harvested from lunar surface, it was announced that they would be using hydrolox RCS. Wouldn't monoprop go against the idea of prop ISRU?

>>15457999
Well I'm sure there's some way of getting hydrogen and oxygen to react over a catalyst. I am not a chemist.

>>15458004
clearly

>>15457997
yep, also countries tend to have really high income taxes which disincentivize working more hours (whats the point like half of it is taxed away?)

>>15458009
My point is still that they're not going to light a fucking rocket engine for RCS.

>>15458013
They seem to think they will.

>>15457989
yes

>>15458015
More like heat up shit until it expels steam.

>>15458013
>My point is still that they're not going to light a fucking rocket engine for RCS.
But they are.
Look at the regenerative cooling jacket. Look at the hot fire they show.
It is a combustion engine.

>>15458018
Then it's never gonna fucking fly.

>>15458019
>Then it's never gonna fucking fly
That's what (You) think.

>>15458011
In my shithole we actually have only 10% flat tax on income and 10% for healthcare, but the overall government corruption is so bad that no investor would come here.

>>15458018
>>15458019
Reminder that SpaceX nearly went down this path too. It's obviously possible.

>>15458024
There are so many fucking things wrong with that lander concept I don't even know where to start.
Oh wait, let's start with the fact it's going to launch on a non-existent rocket from a company that has never made it to orbit, let alone tried to.

>>15458028
whose face is that lmao

>>15458028
these probably evolved into the HLS landing thrusters.
Are those electric pumps?

Been thinking about this. Do you think that Boeing would go for their Starliner contract being terminated, so long as they were paid for the launches that never flew and then they were restricted from ever reapplying to shuttle astronauts using Starliner? Doesn't it at this point just make sense to bite the bullet, and just keep feeding SpaceX contracts for this purpose rather than trot out this sick horse over and over again until they finally launch with astronauts on board and something goes terribly wrong?

>>15458046
It's about jobs, anon. If Boing!, BO, Locksneed, Amazon, and Microsoft all have mass layoffs at the same time the economy of greater Seattle will collapse.

I didn't know starship was so small. It's barely bigger than an airplane

>>15458049
The thing is, NASA already said they weren't paying for the redo or the money needed to fix the capsule. And Boeing is run by accountants now whose bosses are beholden to the shareholders. Wouldn't it look really good on a quarterly earnings report if they were just given a few billion dollars in gross profit because they don't actually have to deliver anything? No billable hours going to people who you hate already, and you can point to inflated earnings for that quarter because NASA cut you a check to fuck off.

>>15458052
Do you know how big that fucking airplane is?

>>15458052
Now compare takeoff weights

>>15457981
yeah it won't, not for the BO lander and not for SS on Mars. LOL...

>>15458018
>Look at the regenerative cooling jacket.

>>15458062

just use hypergolics for lunar landing dammit

With all that work at Starbase, we're not getting another launch until it's done, are we?

>>15458122
why would you assume that?
they already have the boosters and starships ready for next launch or mostly done and as you can see in the picture, most of the site is not under construction and usable

GPT-chan, please write me a propaganda film starring about how Elon Musk was evil and raped indigenous Martians. He didn't even even discover Mars, the vikings were there first

>>15457933
The problem is you cant make hydrogen storage "good enough" and "cheap" at the same time. Even if they solve it, the solution will be completely unaffordable

Spacebros?

>>15458200
That almost sounds like he will have Elon as his VP

>>15458200
BASED

>>15458078
Would that just be a flat earther but with 6 different realms?

>>15458200

>>15458202
No, Elon was born in South Africa so can't run for president, he would always need a proxy to get direct political power

>>15458206
Isn't announcing that you're going to announce already the announcement?
I don't think this is how it's supposed to be.

>>15458200
>>15458206
Reminder, if DeSantis wins, we'll have a much more robust and vibrant space industry given DeSantis's Florida/Space state + Musk's SpaceX space

It will be a HUGE WIN, even if DeSantis doesn't win, because DeSantis will pull lot of republicans under him that will be more sympathetic to SpaceX

>>15458206
Fuck it's real.
Ron is even more of a shill than Trump. I hope Musk doesn't ruin Trump's chances of winning the next election. What I'm guessing will probably happen is DeSantis is just using this to get more publicity for a 2028 election and bow out rather quickly for Trump.

>>15458216
There's a chance that traditional republicans will move behind DeSantis more than Trump, its also the case that DeSantis maybe building support for 2028 as well, we'll see how it works out. In either case, it will be great for SpaceX

>>15458206
so musk has been building support for a while now, if desantis facilitates Musks space activities (instead of hindering them like biden) then i guess its a good move?
but what if trump wins?

>>15458213
I don't have much confidence in them this election, although saying that I don't have much confidence in the other side either.

>>15458222
Trump winning could be a big problem for Musk. But SpaceX is necessary to compete with Chyna.

>>15458216
Trump is fuck senile retard who might die of old age before the primaries

>>15458200
Gross why would Elon want to be tied to a 5ft 7in zionist.

Damn, DeSantis is a fucking retard going up against Trump.

>>15457964
Lack of general interest. The United States is the hottest place for spaceflight and public enthusiasm for it is lukewarm at best. The rest of the world is less interested. Pair that with the stupid high cost of getting into orbit and that's a recipe for nothing happening in space.

>>15457965
just shit my pants, diarrhea from my big mac. god i love this country
>there's no limit to our sky
based

>>15458243
Did Vector ever actually launch anything?

>>15458238
we could honestly see a serious competitor come out of a sell off of small space assets. Put them all in the arena and see which one beats the rest.

>>15457964
Virgin/rocketlabs are only there in existence because of their closeness to US.

Inner Europe has no culture of freedom to purse your dream. Nor does Asia, nor does Africa, nor does South America.

He attended crew demo 1 with Bobndoug, pence and Mrs trump came too iirc. I'm sure somebody must've shown trump the clip of the splashdown when local boats swarmed the Dragon and the one guy went by with the big trump flag. I don't think Trump considers Elon an enemy in any particular way.

>>15458237
If you haven't noticed he is actually not antsemitic, he is working with them

>>15458234
Trump and Musk don't like each other but they would work together just as well as DeSantis would. Trump knows that supporting SpaceX is a winning bid and wants the prestige of a moon landing probably more than DeSantis.
The angry letters Trump has for Elon don't matter just like most of his spats he has with people.

>>15458453

34:30-39:00 is talk about why to build a city on mars

>>15458520
There's no straight answer to that. Liquid hydrogen only stays liquid at roughly 20 Kelvin, so you need to make sure it doesn't get too hot or too cold against whatever the incoming heat or outgoing cooling is doing to your tank contents. It depends where you are and what your tank shape is.

> Rocket Lab successfully bid $16.1 million for the company’s headquarters in Long Beach, California, which is about 140,000 square feet, the spokesperson said. Although founded in New Zealand, Rocket Lab was already a neighbor of Virgin Orbit, with a headquarters and facilities in the Long Beach area. Additionally, Rocket Lab’s purchase includes assets such as 3D-printers and a specialty tank welding machine.

> Stratolaunch was awarded its $17 million “stalking horse” bid for Virgin Orbit’s 747 jet. A Stratolaunch spokesperson, in a statement to CNBC, said the company “continually evaluates ways to increase our capacity to meet the imperative for testing hypersonic technologies via leap-ahead flight demonstrations.”

> Launcher, a subsidiary of Vast Space, is purchasing the company’s facility in Mojave, California — as well as some machinery, equipment and inventory — for $2.7 million. Virgin Orbit’s Mojave leases include infrastructure such as rocket-engine test stands and an aircraft hangar.

>>15458596
but...berger said

Colorado is a sane and normal state that got taken over by California transplants. It CA is off the table CO is too. Washington is in pretty much the same boat but is just further along in its personal devolution. Also "Washington" is just shorthand for Seattle, and a lot of major companies there are looking to pull up stakes and move somewhere else. Utah is alright if you're worried about CA problems, but it is run almost completely by Mormons, which brings its own weirdness. Good luck finding a place in Florida. They're fucking full.

Eastern seaboard or gulf coast states would be your best open then.

There's also Virginia. NOVA distorts Virginia politics but they’re managed to keep that tumor contained pretty well lately, and if things get too bad they’ve always got the county-level option to leave the commonwealth and join West Virginia. Wallops is pretty small for a spaceport right now, but Rocket Lab is building out their Neutron facilities and the Space Force has been saying that Cape Canaveral is just about sold out of launch pad space, so they’re likely to get more neighbors than just Northrop-Firefly in the near future.

They'll pull projects from you, finish those projects, and then claim that they singlehandedly saved them from you. If you speak up, then they'll nickpick every detail on the stuff you did as if it were some big sin that you didn't know everything straight from college. Later they'll give you new projects full of stuff they know you'll struggle on just so they can do the whole thing over again.

>>15458748
camera technology can never be good enough to get rid of UFOs because as soon as it gets good enough to identify a UFO it stops being a UFO. The gimbal footage shows an object several miles away. someone with a phone camera would not have even spotted it to take out their camera. And if you used the gimbal ir camera for most cell phone videos you would immediately recognize the UFO as a helicopter or a balloon or a b21 or whatever.

>>15458762
I phrased that horribly. improvements in camera technology just push out the range ufo sightings happen at.

The moon seems to be extremely poor in carbon and nitrogen compounds. The only nitrogen that's ever been detected in measurable quantities is from stray atoms that got deposited by the solar wind. Since nitrogen is a bit part of hydrazine you're not going to be synthesizing it up there.

https://www.supercluster.com/editorial/seti-scientists-to-devise-plan-for-lunar-listening-station

> The study grew from a paper submitted by researchers from Breakthrough Listen, the world’s largest SETI program, to the National Academy of Sciences’ 2020 Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey that made the case for a SETI observatory on the lunar farside. Now, with additional support from Breakthrough Listen, an international coalition of SETI researchers will take the rough sketch presented to the Decadal Survey and use it to create a detailed plan for what this mission would actually look like.

> “The benefits of a technosignature observatory on the lunar farside were identified early on in SETI, but it was just not thought to be a credible prospect because of the very large costs involved with putting anything on the moon,” said Andrew Siemion, the Director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center and a leader of the Phase A study. “That recently changed for a number of reasons, but I think most importantly the advent of commercial spaceflight dramatically reduced the cost of bringing a payload to the lunar surface, which has fueled something of a renaissance in lunar astronomy.”

> “We really needed to undertake a formal Phase A study to figure out what this observatory could look like and what we could do for a reasonable amount of money—say $150 or $200 million,” said Siemion. The study is funded by a grant from Breakthrough Listen, a SETI initiative bankrolled by the Russian-Israeli billionaire Yuri Milner, and Siemion says their primary goal is to “identify a credible path forward for a lunar farside radio technosignature mission that could be accomplished in the next five to seven years.” Although Siemion believes that technology has progressed to the point where this ambitious mission is feasible, the devil is in the details.

>>15459534
https://www.supercluster.com/editorial/the-case-for-building-a-seti-observatory-on-the-moon

article about the initial paper referenced

> On Monday, a group of researchers sponsored by Breakthrough Listen, the world’s largest SETI program, submitted a paper to National Academy of Sciences’ Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey that makes the case for establishing a SETI radio observatory on the farside of the moon. The decadal survey establishes scientific priorities for the next ten years and the new paper addresses one of the biggest problems facing the search for extraterrestrial intelligence today: The overwhelming amount of radio interference.

the actual paper:
https://seti.berkeley.edu/lunarseti/

> Earth was never a particularly great place to do any kind of radio astronomy due to our thick atmosphere blocking a large portion of the radio spectrum. The proliferation of radio communication technologies has only made things harder. The moon, by comparison, has no atmosphere and its nights last for weeks on end, which limits radio noise from the sun. And as NASA discovered through a spate of lunar orbiter missions in the late 1960s, the moon also acts as a natural shield that blocks radio signals emanating from Earth. As the planetary astronomer Phillipe Zarka has put it, “the farside of the moon during the lunar night is the most radio-quiet place in our local universe.” It’s exactly the sort of peace and quiet you want if you’re searching for faint radio signals from solar systems that might be hundreds of light years away.

> The new Breakthrough Listen paper proposed two main approaches to a lunar SETI observatory: an orbiter and a telescope on the surface. The basic idea behind a SETI lunar orbiter would be to scan for signals as it passed over the lunar farside and relay data back to Earth as it passed over the near side. One of the main advantages of an orbiter is cost
