disastrous picture. This barely resembles a sfg thread

>>15839545
I'm not impressed, OP.

TKD (Total Krystal Death)

>>15839550
>>15839551
My other idea was to post Astra anime girl.

FUUUUUUCK knew I should've staged myself. Now we have a shitty religious meme with humans for the OP.

>>15839545
>>15839551
>>15839550
Btw these anons are right delete this thread op it is absolute dogshit
>>15839554
Dont do that either you fucking negroid post that Astra powerslide gif. Disgusting fucking newfag thread I swear to god

Unsurprisingly the OP also likes rocket anime

>>15839557
Not gonna lie, that's pretty cute.

I thought it was funny.

>>15839561
Yeah this is a negroid thread baker. Go back to whatever shit board you came from. >>15839560 this anon is right by the way if you ever make an Astra thread its always with the actual rockets, you couldve posted the BLM one or powerslide like he suggested

Ahem what are we gonna do with this thread? OP if you would kindly delete it.

>>15839560
Excuse me, I have been here since 2019.

>>15839565
Nobody cares what you think OP this is a dogshit thread that should be deleted and remade.
AS USUAL OP IS A FAGGOT.

OP is probably not going to delete it. Smug bastard.

THIS FAGGOT EVEN FUCKED UP THE TITLE ITS '/sfg/ - Spaceflight General' NOT '/sfg/ - Space Flight General' HOLY FUCK I HATE RETARDED NEWFAGS

>>15839569
YOU ARE CLEARLY LYING IF YOU GOT THE BASIC TITLE WRONG >>15839576.

>>15839580
I made the original picture in 2021.

>>15839583
more to come. you post 2020 threads like that means anything when every previous thread has used spaceflight instead of space flight. you also directly search for space flight and in doing so pulled up newfag threads like yours

>>15839589
Yeah, shocking. There are 2 ways to write it but only today it caused newfags to sperg out.

>>15839592
the OP is SACRED
screw this thread

heres a /sci/ archive that specifically looks for posts with the subject '/sfg/' and you can see for yourself that this newfag op is clearly wrong and we ONLY USE 'Spaceflight'. check for yourself to see that OP is a faggot

yeah and thats exactly what that early staging newfag said a few months ago. kill yourself you disgusting fat retard, the op is sacred to /sfg/ and you will NOT ruin them

How long will Jeff Bezos continue to subsidize his New Shepard rocket?
---
https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/as-virgin-galactic-soars-blue-origins-new-shepard-remains-grounded/
> It is too strong to characterize the New Shepard rocket and spacecraft as a vanity program for Blue Origin and its founder, Jeff Bezos. After all, the company has learned some valuable lessons about vertical landing and rocket reuse that it will apply to the much larger New Glenn rocket. However, after New Shepard gave Bezos his much-desired ride to space in 2021, it's worth contemplating the purpose of the program going forward.
> Of Blue Origin's approximately 11,000 employees, about 400 people spend part or all of their time working on New Shepard. That is a small fraction of the company's overall workforce, but factoring in salaries, benefits, and programmatic expenses, a reasonable estimate is that New Shepard costs Blue Origin about $100 million a year to maintain and operate.
> Prior to the accident, the program averaged a flight roughly every eight to 10 weeks. Even doubling that cadence, it is very unlikely that New Shepard would come close to being revenue-neutral. As one person familiar with the company's finances told Ars, "It's definitely a money loser. Always has been." Another person told Ars that New Shepard is "hemorrhaging" money.
> It's impossible to know what is in Bezos' mind, of course. Ultimately, it will be his decision about whether New Shepard continues to fly. The program, which is managed in Washington state and flown out of West Texas, will last as long as he cares to subsidize it. But it is perhaps notable that Bezos just announced he is moving from Washington to Miami. Florida has no capital gains taxes (which is important when you're selling Amazon stock to fund Blue Origin on the regular), his parents are there, and his partner Lauren Sanchez loves the beach.

okay so we make it Astra edition then? Just a real picture this time?

>>15839621
exactly that, i mean theres two or three anons before that gave examples on what to use like holy shit is it that hard to just not be such a haughty piece of shit about the tradition of OPs, OP?

What if Northrop never cancelled omega?

>>15839623
Okay, I admit that picking that image turned out to be a mistake, but don't give me the bullshit about some title tradition because it's simply untrue.

>>15839620
you literally posted one that only searches for 'space flight general' when i used /sfg/ to show both results of space flight and spaceflight. stop trying to hide it, just admit that you absolutely fucked the op, delete it, make a new one with the exact same edition but a different image. is it really that hard to swallow your pride for posting a shit image and getting literal spacing wrong? just delete the fucking thread and remake it, we made a different thread when that faggot op from months ago tried to early stage and we will do it again. another reminder, his early staged threads got deleted.

Yeah, just keep making multiple threads. Nothing bad will come of it. This surely hasn't happened before.

>>15839630
Yeah I remember that. I must admit /sfg/ has good discipline when faced with improperly staged threads such as this one.

>>15839569
If you were, you would know that /sfg/ used to be "SpaceX / Spaceflight Discussion". There has never been a "Space Flight Discussion"

I'm sure OP didn't intentionally make such a bad thread. It happens.

>>15839655
still cant ignore how bad this is, newfags are supposed to lurk not literally bake threads. he gets amnesty if he deletes the thread, i already made sure nobody talks about this shit in the other thread but we will remember this just like we remembered the other more recent faggot op.

why do you keep spamming links to your duplicate thread?

do the other anon that vigorously opposed this thread: I think you were a little bit too harsh with an anon that made it, now he's salty and trying to derail the other thread, although it could possible be a third anon not the one that made this thread.

MSR is going to be this generation's JWST. But unlike it, it's unlikely to remain the state of the art or achieve anything significant for any amount of time, with the sector quickly catching up speed and with Starship delivering significant payloads getting closer.

JWST was obsolete the day it launched. They lowered the specs dramatically despite ballooning the budget due to constant production errors. The optics we got are worse than what was envisioned decades ago when it was designed, let alone what could be produced today.

>They lowered the specs dramatically
Still a factor of 100 more sensitive than the best previous facility at 3-5 microns, more in spectroscopy. If it didn't get descoped it would have been cancelled. Pretty much all big space telescopes got downsized, Hubble, Chanda, Spitzer.

>The optics we got are worse than what was envisioned
Bullshit. The image quality are almost a factor of 2 sharper than required. The spec was diffraction limited at 2 microns, in reality it is down to 1.1 microns. The diffraction limited wavelength was funnily enough one of the descopes.

>>15841028
Absolutely nothing, that's really the issue here.

>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/11/04/how-israel-shot-down-ballistic-missile-in-space-houthis/
article claims that an arrow 2 intercepted the houthi missile in space but that doesnt make sense. arrow 2 max altitude is 50-60km according to open sources, well below the definition of space. though it's possible that arrow 2 is upgraded to hit targets outside the atmosphere like arrow 3 is. but then they also claim that eyewitnesses on the ground reported hearing a loud explosion. if the target was intercepted outside of the atmosphere then how did anyone hear it? and if it was intercepted near the city as claimed, then that would clearly be in the terminal phase of the missiles flight, meaning that it would be in the atmosphere. the article doesnt even have any sources to back up their claim, let alone any expert commentary that would support it. the state of modern news is abysmal.

The same situation happened when that retard newfag OP from a few months ago made an early stage thread, and >>15841348 this negroid thinks it's new rules because he's OP. We've always made a new thread whenever a thread was absolute dog shit. It happened to early stagers, it happened to other faggots that did shit like fully capitalized /sfg/, this is not a new thing but this faggot anon is pretending like it is so he can seem like the good guy. No, /sfg/ has traditions for OPs and you should respect them or not bake threads at all.
>YOU CLEARLY SAMEFAGGED EVERY POST IN THIS THREAD NOBODY ELSE WOULD CARE
I DID NOT SAMEFAG THE MESSAGES IN THIS THREAD ABOUT THE OP. It was literally like 7-9 different anons that all shat on him for it, and it was pretty obvious at the time if you looked at the poster count. NOBODY IS 'MAKING UP RULES' TO HIJACK THREADS. This is the tradition of /sfg/, and jannies SHOULDVE deleted this thread since the entirety of /sfg/ collectively agreed to move to the other thread while he samefagged every post in here to try and get it back to the top

you could say the same thing about early staging, making a new thread early isnt really a reason to delete a whole thread. you maintain quality by being a hard ass about anything that everyone collectively agrees steps out of line by a wide margin.

The paint was only used on STS-1 and STS-2, so if you really want a good answer you'd need to go through post-flight NASA docs from those missions looking for data on foam shedding. There's a lot of information on this in the "STS-1 Orbiter Final Mission Report," which is up on archive.org.

https://archive.org/details/48011357STS1OrbiterFinalMissionReport

>The detailed postflight inspection showed that extensive minor surface damage occurred to the surface of the TPS tiles. The inspection showed 303 surface dings and gouges and 98 tile coating chips. Approximately 80 percent of the dings and gouges occurred during ascent as evidenced by entry heating effects on the damaged tiles (section 8.0, integrated flight test problem report 8). The remainder probably occurred during landing. Preliminary estimates are that the TPS surface damage was caused by ice, frost and/or spray-on-foam insulation (SOFI) coming off of the external tank. Fortunately, the lower entry surface temperatures (nominal versus RSS worst case combination of uncertainties) resulted in much less sensitivity to damage than the preflight testing at the RSS-indicated temperature levels. Significant damage was found on the right nose gear door (8 in. x 2 in. x 1 in. deep gouge), (fig. 2-21), the right inboard elevon lower surface (coating loss of about 25 in 2 ) (fig. 2-22), and the left lower forward region of the body flap (about 2 in. diameter coating impact damage) (fig. 2-23). The body flap damage propagated into a significant melting of approximately one-half of the tile. (See section 8.0, flight test problem report 56.)

So even with the paint the white tank was still shedding foam at a rate high enough to worry someone in the agency. An external anti-shed coating isn't the worst idea, but it probably would have run afoul of the mass autism that plagued everything back then.

>>15841999
>let's put the super delicate heat shield right up against the foam being shaken to shit by solid rocket boosters

Who came up with this idea, why wasn't the shuttle at least on the top of the stack. Whatever who cares. Death to NASA.

It's been mention here before about SpaceX wants to dump 200k gallons a day of treated water sewage into Texas South Bay Coastal Preserve, one of six hypersaline lagoons in the world. But they still need a permit approved and you can comment to complain at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/agency/decisions/cc/comments.html and use permit number WQ0016342001 We have till Nov 7th to file our complaints, any polluted damage in Boca Chica Beach could spill over into South Padre Island too.

Actually a puritan schizo retard who denies basic biology. Wowie, do you really think no one EVER fucked in the ISS? no shot there must be a smattering of casual sex, and that's in a uncomfortable, completely monitored, cramped tin can. You give humans permanent settlement and actual square footage and they will fuck if not given outlets, it just how it is. Not that you would know.

>>15842286
This is also what I said before but nooooo obviously its just going to be easier to waste resources, volume and mass and get the entirety of SpaceX shut down just for your fantasies. And sure throw in some twinks too because who the fuck cares about actually making a growing colony instead of just total anarchy.
>>15842290
I agree on the mass part, disagree on human behavior. Its worked just fine on the ISS in low numbers and porn can work just fine with 10-1,000 people if youre selective about who you send. Past that you need to start bringing in guards and governments but that would be done before the 250 mark

>https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2019/02/spacex-casting-raptor-engine-parts-from-supersteel-alloys.html
"In 2019, engine manifolds were cast from SpaceX's in-house developed SX300 Inconel superalloy"

Raptor was using a lot of 3D printed parts in Raptor early on for fast development. However, Raptor never had more than about 40% of it printed. They might have 3D printed most parts to make sure they would fit and function correctly before making molds for forging the manifolds and other high-temp/pressure parts. As far as engines that are actually used on Starship and for all of the hops, they have been forged/milled for the most part. Yes, there are still plenty of 3D printed parts on the engine, but the amount is slowly dropping.

Ariane 6 cost and delays bring European launch industry to a breaking point
"I certainly expect a paradigm shift on the launcher sector."
---
https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/ariane-6-cost-and-delays-bring-european-launch-industry-to-a-breaking-point/
> European space officials will convene on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the future of space policy for the continent. The "Space Summit" gathering in Seville, Spain, will encompass several topics, including the future of launch.
> The source of this crisis goes back about a decade, when Europe was trying to determine what would come after the Ariane 5. That rocket was largely successful and provided Europe with its assured access to space. However, it was costly, and already it was losing commercial business to emerging competitors like SpaceX and its Falcon 9 booster.
> The head of the German Aerospace Agency at the time, Jan Wörner, who would later lead the European Space Agency from 2015 to 2021, explained in an interview with Ars the decisionmaking involved in moving on from the Ariane 5. Germany, he said, pushed for a midlife evolution of the Ariane 5, modernizing elements of the rocket and bringing down its cost. This faster solution would buy the continent time to see whether the Falcon 9 was successful and consider whether the continent's next rocket should have a more radical upgrade.
> By contrast, French officials preferred developing an entirely new but expendable rocket then, the Ariane 6. As a compromise in 2014, the chairman of Airbus, Tom Enders, emerged with an "industry" solution to build the Ariane 6 rocket. It would be a modernized version of the Ariane 5, and since industry would take the lead, it would be more cost effective—50 percent cheaper than the Ariane 5 rocket.

>>15842850
> European rocket politics are complicated by the "geographic return rule," which states that each member nation must receive a proportional amount of contracts to the amount of funding it contributes to the space agency. "With the dawn of New Space and the delays in Ariane 6 launcher development, an ongoing debate has emerged about whether geo-return is consistent with the competition and competitiveness that is needed in Europe’s space industry," Aschbacher wrote in March.
>Part of the Ariane 6 rocket's cost increase is being driven by suppliers in nations that know ESA must give them contracts to abide by the geographic return rule.
> This week in Seville, officials with ESA will attempt to reach a new governance agreement to operate the Ariane 6 rocket, including subsidies. According to the article in Le Figaro, there are clear fault lines. Germany and France, in particular, may want to bet on commercial launch startups in their own countries. Italy, too, may want to focus on Avio's business, its native solid-rocket manufacturer.
>I's possible, then, that ESA will in the near future become more like NASA. Rather than subsidizing the development of rockets like the Ariane 6 vehicle, it may in the future simply buy them from industry.

CNES Boss on Damage Control for ArianeGroup on Ariane 6 Failures
---
https://europeanspaceflight.com/cnes-boss-on-damage-control-for-arianegroup-on-ariane-6-failures/
> The head of the French space agency CNES identified a complex governance structure and ESA’s geographic return rule as the primary reasons why the development of Ariane 6 has failed to meet projected deadlines and price targets.
> “Far too many decisions go back to the ESA level, but these decisions are taken according to the “one country, one vote” principle, which is not at all suitable for leading a project as complex as the development of a launcher,” Baptiste said. “We have therefore not moved from a public model to a private model, but to a hybrid system and, objectively, the governance of Ariane 6 is less good than that before, which is also the main cause of delays of the new launcher.”
> In addition to the governance structure implemented to manage the development of Ariane 6, Baptiste also took aim at ESA’s geographic return rule. The rule ensures that any country that contributes funding to the development of a programme receives the value of its contributions back in contracts awarded to industrial manufacturers from that country. Baptiste argued that the rule ensured that ArianeGroup had “no room to maneuver in choosing its suppliers and negotiating prices.”
> Baptiste chose to sit for the Los Echos interview the week before the ESA Space Summit, at which the future of European launch will be discussed, is not an accident. France has for decades maintained control over the European launch sector, but that control is being threatened. Private companies within the UK, Spain, Germany, and Italy are all developing launch solutions outside of the control of France and Arianespace. And with the failures of Ariane 6 continuing to be felt, it’s not ridiculous to assume that ESA may entertain proposals from outside French borders for what comes next.

Would an electromagnetic launch system capable of dozens of km/s of exhaust velocity be feasible? How about building one that operates in deep space?

NASA delays Artemis lunar rover award by four months
---
https://spacenews.com/nasa-delays-artemis-lunar-rover-award-by-four-months/
> WASHINGTON — NASA has delayed the award of contracts to develop a lunar rover for future Artemis missions by four months, raising concerns in industry about the future of the program.
> NASA had intended to make an award for the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) services contract in November. In a final request for proposals issued May 26, NASA said it expected to make one or more awards on Nov. 27. At the time it issued the request for proposals, those proposals were due July 13, a date later shifted to July 26.
>However, in recent weeks NASA changed the expected contract award to March 31, 2024. That change, made on a procurement website, did not disclose the reason for the four-month delay.
> A NASA spokesperson said Oct. 30 that that the agency delayed the award “to allow additional time to evaluate proposals” but did not elaborate.
> Several companies have stated their plans to compete for the LTV contract, including startups like Astrolab and Intuitive Machines as well as established companies like Leidos, Lockheed Martin and Teledyne Brown. That has led to unique partnerships, like Lockheed working with automaker General Motors and Leidos partnering with NASCAR, the auto racing company. NASA expects to start using the rovers with the Artemis 5 mission at the end of the decade.

New commercial space bill addresses mission authorization and SSA ,
--
https://spacenews.com/new-commercial-space-bill-addresses-mission-authorization-and-ssa/
> WASHINGTON — The Republican leadership of the House Science Committee has introduced legislation that would create a mission authorization system for commercial space activities and alter plans for a space traffic coordination system.
> “This bill crafts a favorable and competitive environment right here at home by streamlining our regulatory process and clarifying federal roles in licensing commercial space activities,” Lucas said in the statement about the bill.
> A key part of the bill would be to create a “certification” process for commercial spacecraft not licensed by other agencies, such as the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Companies would provide basic information about their spacecraft to the Office of Space Commerce, including a debris mitigation plan, and the office would have 60 days to either grant or deny the application.
> “To continue strengthening American leadership in space, we must modernize our commercial space framework. The Commercial Space Act will do just that by addressing outdated laws, enhancing innovation, and ensuring our partners are not stymied by regulatory hurdles,” Babin said in a statement about the bill.
> Another section of the bill addresses civil space situational awareness (SSA) work led by the Office of Space Commerce. The bill would direct the office to select a consortium led by an academic or nonprofit organization to provide SSA “data, information and services.” That would appear to supersede the office’s own work on an SSA system, called the Traffic Coordination System for Space, currently in development.

>>15843119
I'm not really sure how that interplay would work. More mass is more inertia, and more inertia means it takes more energy to change direction, so that might make it easier to build a suspension that can travel quickly with the changes in terrain, but it also might just make the problem worse. I'm only intuiting this, but a vehicle with a very light and spongy suspension and a lot more wheels might be better.

do they have a third rocket ready? what's the current status of booster 10?

>>15843158
Oh my!

>>15843145
are you in favor of this thread?

>>15843157
Holy shit, this completely confirms the November 15th date for OFT2

do their 5 test flights per year roll over or do they waste one if they can't launch before new years

> Hey @elonmusk / @SpaceX, for the upcoming Starship IFT-2 mission, is there a way to have mission control audio come through local analogue airways, or a low latency digital stream (like on spaces) so those watching in person have a reliable countdown? X / YouTube streams are 10-20 seconds behind real time and makes for the potential to miss the launch due to delayed information. Or at least a low latency YouTube stream for Mission Control audio or launch like the old days would be nice too!

> We can improve the latency for real-time video on X. It should be as fast as your connection will allow.

>>15843166
I don't think they roll over, I think it was 5 within a calendar year, not 5 within a trailing 12 month period or something like that they could bank them for 3 years and then launch 15 times in 1 month

>>15843168
>It should be as fast as your connection will allow.
Fuck yes my 100 mbit/s internet will be able to stream the launch in 4k on Twitter

Thank you Elon. X truly is becoming the ultimate platform

>>15843172
Is 4k on streams now available on twitter?

>>15843189
Yes the streams on Twitter are extremely high quality not unlike this thread.

>>15843191
Cool

>>15842915
why

>>15843157
Imagine if it was 2024 lol. My heart sank for a moment.

>>15843159
not sure about the current situation but Booster 10 seemed to be mostly ready 3 weeks ago and Booster 11 and 12 in similar state, they could probably launch these pretty rapidly if they just got the license and the ground infrastructure doesn't get fucked up again

I am currently neutral since the other one that split with this one got archived.

we can see the picture jeff
it's the size of a car windshield

>>15843234
IDK looks about twice the size to me

>>15843225
honestly not bad, considering

>>15843013
I think the geometry matters too.
Air isn't exhaled with zero momentum. If you were trying to sleep in a broom closet equivalent you would build up a gas bubble, yeah. If you were sleeping in a more typical room-sized volume I would be surprised if your own breathing didn't curculate the air around the whole room sufficiently (albeit slowly).
Once again a problem in spaceflight apparently disappears at larger scale.

Fun Fact:
Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos is about twice the size of a regular human

>>15843091
It would be kinda like driving on Earth at 6x the speed, ie 480+ mph, with zero aerodynamic down force. Basically you'd have to be pretty fucking crazy to drive that fast on the Moon even on an ideal (artificial) surface.

>>15843260
>480+ mph, with zero aerodynamic down force
Sounds rad

>>15843119
No, because the problem comes from objects having 1/6th the weight from gravity but unchanged inertia per kg. If you want to bring the weight up to Earthlike parity with inertia, your only real option is to use magnets in the road to provide the other 5/6ths of missing "weight", physically pulling the car down harder.

Uhh...guys?

kek. we should launch retro rockets every once in a while. just to spice things up

are you retarded?

Nothingburger that didnt deserve attention in the first place.

>>15843291
Now I get it :)

>>15843268
This is huge news, Falcon 1 is back?

>>15843268
Reminder that Falcon 1 is still a better rocket by almost every metric compared to all active memesat launchers

That thing won't go anywhere. SeX will not be able to scale and vertically integrate to remain lean and profitable. Musk and other private companies have no chances to take on Constellation
