Interstellar, The Martian, Gravity. Those are the only space movies I ever recommend if you want something that isnt sci-fi.

I fucked the thread link, do I delete and post again?

Any fun space movie for a night watch?
If I don't find anything interesting I'll just keep going through the Star Trek movies I haven't watched yet
>>15725739
thanks for the suggestions

>>15725739
Those are sci-fi.

>>15725742
Its fine

>>15725744
strictly speaking, the only non-sci-fi space movie is the Apollo trilogy
Apollo 11, Apollo 13 and Apollo 18

>>15725743
there's a youtube channel called Homemade Documentaries that has a 2-3 documentary video on basically every apollo mission, as well as the gemini and mercury projects. Voyager too I think. They're all worth watching, even though they're made for free they're the best space documentaries I've ever watched

>>15725758
>Apollo 18
nice bait

How about The Right Stuff?

>>15725760
2-3 hour*

I pretty excited for the next launch. I think it really might happen this month

>>15725758
I believe a space movie that has nothing that could be seem as remotely technical/scientific would not be sci-fi, but I can't think of any. (No, Star Wars doesn't go far enough with the fantasy stuff to count as this)

china not having an FAA is why they're second in space, behind only spacex

KEY POINTS
The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday that SpaceX is not yet clear for another test flight of its Starship Super Heavy launch vehicle.
Following a Starship Super Heavy explosion in April 2023, the FAA is conducting a mishap investigation, a standard practice after a “launch anomaly” of such magnitude.
SpaceX will not be authorized to test its 400-foot-tall rocket again until that investigation is complete, and the company takes required corrective actions as determined by the FAA.

FAA license approval is contingent on the mishap review, and Elon knows that

>>15725881
>Prediction: they will never get the FAA approval
not until musk caves and allows the ADL to censor twitter

The Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday that SpaceX is not yet clear for another test flight of its Starship Super Heavy launch vehicle.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk had claimed Tuesday, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) which he now owns, that “Starship is ready to launch, awaiting FAA license approval.”

However, his aerospace and defense company hasn’t met the FAA’s requirements to be able to fly again after an explosion in April 2023 during the first test flight of this vehicle.

The Starship launch “anomaly” triggered a mishap investigation that will be overseen by the FAA — a standard practice by the agency, which is responsible for protecting the public during commercial space transportation launch and reentry operations.

In a statement sent to CNBC on Wednesday night, the FAA said: “The SpaceX Starship mishap investigation remains open. The FAA will not authorize another Starship launch until SpaceX implements the corrective actions identified during the mishap investigation and demonstrates compliance with all the regulatory requirements of the license modification process.”

Why is the best thing for fuel in kerbal only starting the second stage burn once you reach the apogee, but in SpaceX streams they start the second stage nearly immediately after MECO and stage sepperation?

>>15726074
Because waiting until apogee to ignite your upper stage is actually worse for performance in Ksp as well, it's just simpler for normies trying to fly rockets so succeeds most often.

keep pissing and shitting yourself over a nanoeffort you don't want to undertake
do you also hold in your piss all day because it takes too much effort?
instead of complaining about their player being worse you piss and shit yourself over the 3 fucking seconds it takes to make an account so you can watch
you're so fucking retarded it hurts

>>15726420
I'm not making an account either, anon is correct, you are ineffectual in your attempt to get more signups.
No thanks, accounts are for nerds.

Aside form the retarded reddit template, this is simply wrong.
At this moment Starship pad at LC-39A is far from completion and when it's finally done, there is no room for expansion. You know what's more interesting? They made the same mistake at LC-39A that they had done at Starbase. There is no water deluge, only a think layer of concrete that will have to be excavated.
LC-49 will be the upgrade.

>>15726477
>“How am I in this war?” Musk asks Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

I know what he means but it's tone deaf. The problem is you can't Netflix and chill in Ukraine. Also talking about moral culpability of drone strikes in a defensive war is nonsense.

He also should've told someone he was cutting off satellites in advance to make sure no Ukrainians died in the middle of an op

He did that? LOL. I never thought he had a drop of genuined basedness in him but I guess I was wrong.

>>15726515
not about fee fees, its about Ukraine getting nuked by russia
this was in the article if you had just read it

>>15726506
What if the whole drone strikes deep into Crimea/etc with Starlink starts a nuclear war and it causes Russia to launch nukes destroying few cities in Ukraine as a result?

Musk would then be culpible for millions of deaths for direct escalation of the war.

>>15726506
I'm sure he was more worried about being assassinated via nerve agent

>>15726515
What's wrong with not wanting to contribute to the escalation of a pointless and unwinnable war?

>>15726512
>>15726515
Honestly I just think he wants to stay friends with Russia by getting uncle Sam to take most of the heat, which is fine on its own.

>>15726516
Thinking russia would nuke anyone is retarded. It's even worse in hindsight when we have ukraine blowing up russian airfields and russia just taking it like a bitch.

>>15726519
He's has worries about the Biden admin assassinating him. They've been softening up their target, Musk with political propaganda to make him the most hated person in the left wing circles.

There are no guarantees in wars. In hindsight, you can say Russia didn't do anything therefore they never had plans to do anything. But in fog of war, no one knows what the future holds

>>15726518
Why doesn't Russia use nukes now if it's such a good idea. Attacks in Crimea do nothing to change that

>>15726530
>Defending your homeland is pointless?

>the American Government is the world's largest and well-organized terrorist network.

>>15726516
Maybe he should have asked around before talking to Russian officials and falling for their threats. This isn't the first time nukes were threatened over aid to Ukraine.

Do you want it to? LOL. You people are so stupid it's simply unreal. Good thing at least Musk isn't completely delusional.

>>15726539
We've been playing chicken with nuclear war for decades, the rules didn't change today and Russia using nukes with no logic defies history.

>>15726548
I did. Ukraine is still losing. What's your point?

Russia/Ukraine isn't interesting and whatever happens there isn't important to anybody I care about.

many such cases

>>15726545
Did musk start a pointless war he's losing?

>>15726550
The rules are the same, nuclear vs nuclear is bad.

Yet, US is indirectly engaging with another nuclear force in a proxy war. Which means Russia can potentially retaliate against Ukraine with nukes if severity of the situation is comprehended. Would russia sacrifice 5M of its men and Ukraine sacrifice another 5M? Or would Russia just nuke few cities, flatten out couple hundred thousands to end the war?

Hiroshima/Nagasaki repeat might happen.

You're outright incoherent. Musk has nothing to do with Russia's war effort AFAIK, so what was the purpose of your bizarre whataboutism?

>>15726564
There's no full exchange. Ukraine isnt a nuclear nation.

If you're talking about nuclear war between US/Russia, then the ball will be in the US's court on whether full nuclear war is to happen. Would the US sacrifice everything for another country 10000 km away from home? I doubt it.

Any nuclear electric power system in the vicinity of Earth is going to be heavier and be bulkier than an equivalent solar power supply. Reactors just can't beat the watts/kg ratio of typical solar panels.

Any electric propulsion vehicle is going to take far longer to get to the Moon and back than any chenical stage. Using that tech to go to the Moon is extremely sub optimal, it's just a method of coping by those who don't have the launch vehicle economics to do distributed launch chemical propulsion architecture.

Basically this tug is a diversion and will never be built or used.

in my opinion the tech progression for Moon missions will go directly from all-chemical to fusion propulsion, because fusion is the only thing that has a chance to be operationally superior in this use case. Electric propulsion may find a niche in Mars/NEO transport architectures, but those may also go straight to fusion propulsion, either as an upgrade from chemical or as an enabling technology.

Wake up, baby, new GAO report on SLS has just dropped.

>>15726692
wake up baby new starship render dropped

>>15726692
>The SLS is the world’s most powerful
rocket
Uh oh, GAO must be fact checked

>>15726477
Well that fills in the gaps / confirms speculation about why the warhawks and NAFO types were so assblasted.

Ukraine had a big PR attack planned which relied on SpaceX violating sanctions and arms control laws.

>>15726692
>Senior NASA officials told GAO that at current cost levels, the SLS program is unaffordable. The SLS program developed a roadmap outlining short-term and long-term cost-saving strategies for future missions. For example, NASA plans to use contract types that shift cost risk from the government to the contractors andthat achieve manufacturing efficiencies, but it is too early to determine the effects of such strategies. NASA is also considering long-term options, including purchasing future SLS launches and payload capabilities from a contractor who would own, operate, and integrate the SLS rocket.

>>15726640
I did stage on page 10, jannies mustve deleted threads then.

>>15726641
Because the US is starting up the moon landings again. Everyone connected with NASA wants a seat on Artemis

the moon is already bogged down with bullshit bureaucracy which makes mining on the damn thing more bother than it's worth
any company serious about resource extraction from space will look at asteroids

>>15726703
A lot of people chose to ignore Russia telling SpaceX that Starlink would be considered a valid military target if it was used for military purposes
Elon immediately told the Pentagon this had to stop

>>15726650
holy shit that is a lot of deleted threads, its on page 6 now

>>15726692
is there an updates cost estimate

>>15726692
''In 2014, GAO
recommended that NASA develop a cost baseline that captures production costs
for the missions beyond Artemis I that fly SLS Block I. NASA intends to fly SLS
Block I for Artemis II, planned for 2024, and Artemis III, planned for 2025. NASA
partially concurred, but has not yet implemented this recommendation.''

NASA be like just ignore the GAO for 9 years lmao

>>15726733
I as a Boeing investor am very fortunate NASA has not implemented cost baseline measures concerning the SLS program

>>15726692
I'm surprised there isn't a direct quote from the outgoing OIG that they're pulling the same crap they did on JWST and moving costs around to shrink the big-ticket number

>>15726650

When did all these subhuman redditors get here? Why in the fuck would he be interested in being friends with Russia? He already destroyed their commercial space industry and they have nothing to do with his businesses.

But sure, he's doing it because he's in Putin's pocket and not because using his ten billion dollar internet satellites for drone strikes and risk them being put under ITAR whiel having to spend millions constantly reinforcing their cyber security against the Russians has nothing to do with it lmao.

Can somebody enlighten me why redditors are so convinced Musk is a friend of Russia?

>>15726729
How long would Kessler syndrome last if Russia was retarded enough to try that

If carbon restrictions ever get really tight in the future (i.e anything that produces CO2 when burned is banned outright), we should unironically turn to Ammoniox fuel.

Ammonia (NH3) is both dirt cheap, storable at room temperature (under pressure), and releases no carbon when burned with LOX. However, it produces ozone-damaging NO if burned fuel rich, so it would have to be burned oxidizer rich.

Based and firing women pilled

>>15726921
I don’t think anyone knows for sure but it’s always been my stance that she is one of the main reasons SpaceX get so, so, so much business. She probably has direct say in hiring all these old NASA/DoD boomers that SX have acquired (who are there to get contracts, not slow down the company the way BO is run), she probably had a main-say in skipping F1 and going straight to F9, booster reuse, and ultimately upgrading Falcon XX to BFR. And she’s obviously involved with spook deals that help the money flow—as she has openly talked about these a lot before. I think Elon is good at getting rich ass investors and learning as much from his engineers as he can do he can make final design choices; but shotwell is mommy money printer as well.
I wonder how much Insprucker does for the company besides just narrating kino launches. I have no info about him other than what he used to do in the government

>>15726914
The moon is actually just a smudge on a telescope, you see it for the same reason the placebo effect works.

>>15726921
Everything I've seen about her makes Elon's vision for space look sane desu

>>15726914
your image originates from japan

>>15726934
rockets actually don't work in a vacuum, but space has ether in it which the exhaust pushes against

>>15726886
Open question for the thread: State if you are a 1-5. Then state if you believe Starship has already overtaken the Saturn V as the most kino rocket ever built. I’ll start.
I’m a 2. It’s so fucking cool that it has been built so fast, and already attempted a launch. But I think until it either gets to orbit, does a refill test, or successfully lands HLS moonship on the lunar surface during the demonstration mission, Saturn V is still king. For now.

>>15726703
Its not Ukraine doing the PR attack on SpaceX. Its Biden admin.

Guess who sabatoged the contractual talks? Biden admin leaker. The whole admin is made up of corrupt people.

>>15726943
They only need to have 1 success, then its Starlink time.

Once that happens, landing will be perfected as time goes.

>Since that time, NASA has not yet established a baseline for the SLS program for Artemis II.
I hate NASA so much it's unreal.

>>15726949
>We recommended that NASA develop a life-cycle cost estimate for the Artemis III mission, with which NASA agreed. At the time, NASA
said that it would provide a preliminary cost estimate for the Artemis III mission by the end of calendar year 2020—after the agency had certain milestones for several of the programs required for the mission, including signing the SLS production contracts.
>As of May 2023, NASA was continuing to work toward achieving those milestones and has not yet established a life-cycle cost estimate for the Artemis III mission.

This is ridiculous.

>>15726943
Saturn V has a superior legacy but I think Starship is the most kino ever. The tower standing behind it, arms spread like a crucifix, as the literal only hope for humanity's near term push into interplanetary status, won't be beat for a long time yet.
