Phew just got back on sfg after work.
I will have the launch thread up tomorrow morning, assuming no early weather scrub. Can’t wait lads

t. Launch thread anon

Has there ever been an attempt to make a rocket engine like this, but instead of achieving fusion, it achieves fission? A sort of inertial confinement fission drive?

>>16073324
I want to achieve fursion with Krystal

>>16073259
Cock rocket will explode, seals will clap, screenshot it.

>>16073324
Fission doesn't need laser-inertial confinement, you just bang roggs together. I guess the closest would be a Nuclear Lightbulb / Closed Cycle Gas Core NTR where a gas core reactor is physically contained by a giant quartz crystal that transfers heat and UV+xrays to the LH2 on the outside.

>>16073332
Off by one.

>>16073333
Well that's my point though, by using inertial confinement. You could get an extremely powerful gas core like fission propulsion system without requiring all of the wacky batshit crazy engineering to keep them from exploding constantly. You would remove the constraints of having to worry about the walls melting or flushing out unused uranium. And unlike fusion ICF, you don't need massive fuck off lasers to do the near impossible (nuclear fusion), you can probably really easily achieve nuclear fission with some basic lasers and a basic setup fuel pellet.

So now you get an ICF fission reactor that can achieve ISP's in the 10,000's of seconds and thrust levels in the 1,000,000's of newtons all without worrying about the reactor itself exploding because there is no reactor. Just a pretty capable torch drive based on basic bitch fission.

>>16073328
Yes

>>16073343
Anon, laser confinement IS wacky crazy engineering. Nobody EVER does it when they can use solid walls.

I'm advertising /sfg/ on the /pol/ threads about this starship launch.

>>16073360
TYSM!

>wake up an hour and a half early for a launch that will be scrubbed
>sleep in and miss something cool and historic
The time I set my alarm for determines tomorrow morning's launch events, I am as God.

>>16073360
You do this every time do you really need to tell us? Its like clockwork

>>16073364
I have already determined the outcome (scrub) because I am not sleeping tonight and will be wrecking my sleep schedule

>>16073351
they do when the solid walls melt.

what time is the launch?

Is there a confirmed time yet for launch?

I’m from /pol/ and I love SpaceX and space. Even if it’s fake

Imagine what can be done when we can just drop 50 tons on mars without having to pack every possible instrument into 1 ton

STARSHIP IFT-3 WILL SUCSEED! ENDING NUMBERS MATCH AND PROVE IT!

>>16073371
Kys noa

>>16073417
It will fail and all the spacex shills will claim it's a success like always

>>16073417
Fail, fuck you for ruining launch.

>>16073417

>>16073287
okay, but it's going to take some practice

>>16073324
>>16073343
Here liek dis:

>>16073324
That's basically Zubrin's Nuclear Salt Water Rocket

>>16073427
To add, you can even induce a sheared flow to the propellant so that the pellet stays in the center as it heads towards the point of criticality.

please don't explode too early, it's getting boring

kino, too bad its gonna scrub tomorrow

thank you for blessing the launch

Really looking forward to things tomorrow lads :)

>>16073569
Window opens at 12:00PM UTC

>>16073569
It's in 6 hours

>>16073283
I know starship has nearly double the thrust at liftoff but something about those big dirty F1s with the big orange kerosene flames created a spectacle.

>>16073570

>>16073576
based ill stay up then.

im in the hospital right now because I can't breathe properly so I hope I don't die before the first successful starship launch

if I do die, kill all martians, birds, beetles, ocelots, FAAfags, boingsisters, bloriginers, 5s, ESGs, earthers and nuclearfags for me bros

>>16073569
I know it'll be 10.30pm here in Adelaide, which is 11pm if you're a filthy east coaster. Or 10pm in Queensland, even though Brisbane is 1400km further east than Adelaide because daylight savings says fuck you and your logic for 6 months out of the year.

>>16073596
>Queenslanders have a stupid timezone
>SA has the stupidest timezone on earth (muh half hour)
no wonder the crown shipped you off

>>16073602
Learn to read, I wasn't criticizing the croc shaggers for their timezone, I was criticizing daylight savings (which SA has and QLD doesn't) for being retarded.

>shipped you off
SA wasn't founded as a penal colony and never took in any convicts, unlike all the others. We're the only free state.

>>16073603
you're the worst of all of us, you're basically all seventh sons of seventh sons, the flotsam of the sewage run off of the called aristocracy of Britain. Victoria should have annexed you.

>>16073613
fireworks

>Mostly cloudy, with a high near 78. Breezy, with a south southeast wind 14 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.
If they launch the likelihood of good ground tracking footage is pretty low.

if only you knew how bad things really are

>>16073620
Is the WB-57 scheduled?

i need more rideshare porn

Singles and the launch time will be delayed until tomorrow

Does anyone have the X stream link? It was posted few days ago here with the Starship date being the 14th.

~5 hrs from now

>>16073633
Nice, roughly going live in ~4 hours. Someone should make a thread when that happens.

>>16073638
I will. I've been making the spacex launch threads for like 7 years now

>>16073620
if only they had on board cameras...

Invest in cloud removing technology

>People trying for digits in a 2 posts per minute board and failing
Get the fuck off my /sci/ and /sfg/, tourists. I blame boardfag.

Not working right now, but i've watched some Starlink launches on "X" not logged in.
I think it only works once the stream has started.

>>16073668
yeah alright mom

I.... am ready.
I've been here since the very beginning. San Pedro, hopper, all that. It's been a journey, /sfg/. I wonder how many of you have also been hanging around sci rocket threads since ~2017?

>>16073659
ejaculate at least twice so that you achieve a high level of post nut clarity before the launch, allowing you to truly appreciate it

>>16073360
Great, a bunch of underage subhuman tourists

>>16073633
>>16073661

Yeah, it worked for flight 2 like that, but I think the link that worked then was a link to a post, rather than the /i/broadcasts/ garbage.

protect it from what? ourselves? seems to be a reasonable solution to just move ourselves to mars then. no more people around to be fucking up the earth.

I like smoke and lightning

does starship have any reaction wheels? how will they turn it in space?

Tomorrow the weather is much more positive

>>16073727
no
RCS
how? RCS controllers in real life are much smarter than the RCS controllers in KSP

>>16073727
starlink sats have reaction wheels. so they have experience with them.

Are we go for launch ?

>>16073737
we are not confirmed as not go

>>16073737
The launch is in 3 hours anon

>>16073737
biggest hurdle is weather now, isn't it? somebody pull up the aviation weather forecasts

>>16073709
good to know he's still repeating 105iq takes he picked up from the new york times editorial page like they're his original nougats of wisdom dispensed upon the yearning masses

>>16073737

>>16073733
reaction wheels are also far more limited in real life

>>16073742
can we remove weather?

I've got 5 bucks riding on this piece of shit making orbit. Don't fail me again Elon.

>>16073757
lying about the event being cancelled is the oldest trick in crowd control

>>16073760
it's not going to make orbit tho. Not even the periapsis is above the ground.

>>16073752
I wanna be a part of it bros. I feel left out :(

>>16073761
this

>>16073765
I'm waiting for first tower catch to go watch in person

>>16073764
including the deorbit burn is enough dv to put it in orbit

>>16073760
It's a suborbital flight so you're destitute either way

>>16073757
space is cancelled
everyone back to work

>>16073765
you are part of the sfg party fren

>>16073770
hmm, true.

>>16073776
giving a shit is stupid, arbitrary and pedantic so you should not give a shit

>>16073760
don't worry anon. i still haven't paid out on my bet that new shepard would make it to orbit.

>>16073760

>>16073750
He is too busy being on the NSF stream. I hope they at least pay him.

>>16073764
>>16073773
>>16073784
I know niggers but you fucking know what I mean.

WE ARE GOING

it's a superorbital flight

it's a hop

20 knot ground speed forecast. Not great, not terrible. High/low patterns look good. Altitude winds should be good.

From Mexico

>>16073801
I'm glad Mexicans are interested in cool rockets

>>16073798
So what about windshear.

> it’s a bit windy so we need to scrub episode

>>16073775
Thanks fren
We will witness history

wind shear is not that bad

What's your bets for this time
>another separation failure
>suborbital but SS doesn't make it down
>both stages reach the water

>>16073812
Sep successful, booster soft landing ok, ship makes targets but fails entry

>>16073812
Slightly further along than last time before RUD.

dedicated launch thread when?

>>16073812
complete success. remember ift2 would have worked, they just made an oopsie with their method for accounting for not having a payload.
this stack has 1000s of changes. why wouldnt it work?

>>16073812
Both stages reach the water. Unfortunately for SN28, it's the shit infested waters.

>>16073812
I'm feeling optimistic, I'm saying SS reaches the water but explodes on impact

>>16073816
I want to wait maybe one more bong before posting the launch thread, you never know about these last minute scrubs. But chances look good.

SS will not make it back, too many tiles will fall off. Integration monkeys are still fucking useless at tile attachment.

t. knower

>>16073816
There is no launch until Insprucker chimes in.

>>16073812
I vote for RUD during reentry

>>16073812
raptors fail to light for the deorbit burn on SS and the landing burn on SH

IFT3 needs to work this time , like it should not trigger an anomaly in FAA's eyes. SpaceX cant afford to waste another 3-4 months for another launch

>>16073829
FAA said that if it fails to safely splash down, they'll count it as an anomly.

>>16073829
does FAA stop caring at a certain point in flight? would a re entry anomaly trigger another FAA license process boondoggle?

>>16073812
Blows up at hot staging because they got lucky last time and there's as yet unpredicted physics involved, fire in Ship engine bay knocks out avionics and as a result altitude undershoots before AFTS fires.

>>16073816
>>16073821
at least wait until the official stream starts

vibes

>>16073812
I believe in a full success

>>16073263
why didn't you guys tell me you were hiding tomboy muscle waifus in these threads

>>16073843
yeah

>>16073843
Rocket waifus are a point of contention in these threads

ULA sniper is in position. Time for Tory to destroy Elon once and for all

>>16073848

THERE IS A BEETLE 150FT AWAY FROM THE PAD . SHUT SPACEX DOWN NOW !!!

SpaceX's Starship test 3 aims to push the boundaries of the super heavy launch vehicle in several ways. Here are the key objectives:

Successful burns of both stages: This is a core goal, ensuring both the Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage fire their engines effectively during ascent.
Testing Starship's functionalities: This includes opening and closing the payload door, a critical function for future cargo and crew missions.
In-space propellant transfer: Demonstrating the ability to transfer fuel between tanks while in space is crucial for Starship's reusability and missions requiring long durations in orbit.
First ever Raptor engine relight in space: Relighting engines in space allows for maneuvers and course corrections, a vital capability for future missions.
Controlled reentry and splashdown: Starship needs to safely reenter the atmosphere and achieve a controlled ocean landing.
This test flight also features a new trajectory with a splashdown target in the Indian Ocean. This path allows SpaceX to attempt new maneuvers like in-space engine burns while maintaining public safety.

Overall, this mission is a significant step in developing Starship's capabilities for future space exploration, including NASA's Artemis missions.

>>16073975
100% a twitter tranny

>>16073983
SpaceX hasn't said a peep. Everything looks go for launch otherwise. Evacuations. Aircraft activity. Downrange policing. etc

>>16073986
because I want uninterrupted live views all the way down
also if your shit breaks up during blackout, you have no idea why

>>16073983
Looks that way!
Launch thread will be up in a bit

At least post spaceflight faggot

>>16073959
actual Darwin award. why on earth did he do that?

>>16073995
bro I had this thread open at work and now I’m fired, thanks a lot

>>16073978
yep

hullo says they're behind schedule for a 7 AM launch with the GSE

>>16073996
Nerve gas?

I hate gore so much ... some people from here are so sick , take a walk, take a breath of fresh air , touch grass

Coool , IR cam with spots for the coldest and hottest point

>>16073978
you can tell its from /pol/ because its the same videos always spammed there
someone should have hired the ULA sniper to kill the boardfag years ago

>>16073930
ye he's the only one that doesn't make me feel dread listening to

Great thread

Man I wish I had some ciders for this launch. Instead I'll be stuck drinking trashy basic whiskey.

T-1h:05min

reminder: if this mission doesn't go PERFECTLY then starship will have more failures in 3 launches than shuttle had in 135

>>16074023
Starship is not in operational mode right now. Test failures doesnt count

Lets Gooo

>>16074023
And zero astronauts killed

>>16074023
Starship failures don't lose lives and put the project on hold for years so no.

>>16074025
Cope

>>16074025
shuttle had 4 launches before it was operational. it went 4/4.
>>16074027
>>16074028
hey, nobody ever said you could achieve greatness without taking a few risks.

launch thread: >>16074033
less than 30 minutes to stream start.

>>16074031
>"The orbiter is not an operational vehicle and they need to stop treating it like one," [Former astronaut John Young] said during a visit to Georgia Tech, where he graduated in aerospace engineering in 1952. "This is still an experimental vehicle. STS-107 [Columbia's final flight] proved that pretty well."

>>16074007
Remote temperature measurement of reflective metal surfaces is generally not a good idea.

>shittle
>greatness
Lmao.

>>16074031
Counterargument : Shuttle didnt use iterative design for its test process. Nasa style involved having a "perfect" vehicle ready from day 1.

T-1h

ITS GABBENING

Fucking hell, Marcus House really let himself go. I miss when he used to make KSP tutorials

>>16074047
>Marcus House
He "indeed" has an extremely punchable face

>Weather is 70% favorable
its ogre

>>16074055
70% is an F in my book. but F stands for Favorable...

>>16074055
better than i expected

Starship full stack orbital launch starts in 10 minutes, yet /sfg/ is dead.

>>16074023
Unless Elon takes a dozen astronauts out behind the tower and shoots them in the head, SpaceX wins on the failure metric so far.

sniff sniff

>>16074002
hullo probably isn't up to date on the pad upgrades that have shortened prep

>>16074084
What's the Indian Ocean looking like?

>>16074082
Israel will grow larger

embarassing thread

we need more space stuff in the Brownsville area, SpaceX isn't enough

Launch thread is stickied!

>>16074084
>boats fail to get out the exclusion zone
>spacex forced to postpone launch
>repeat with another chinese boat for each launch attempt
>starship permanently grounded
why aren't the ccp doing this, it'd be so easy

I woke up early for this, so it'll be scrubbed.

>>16074092
Dunno. Maritetraffic is free only for ships that reach land based receivers.

>>16074112
Because they like having access to ports for their cheap shit.

There's no way the glowies are gonna send it on first go
They need to build the anticipation first

>Stream pushed back another 30 minutes
Not looking good.

doesn't look that windy based on the clouds of vented gas

>>16074118

FUCKING BOATS

>>16074155
clear?

>>16074171
It’s actually the other way around lol. Used to be there was no sfg, just launch threads

>>16074092
There are two Xiang Yang Hong-class "survey" vessels operating off of India right now, one of which was monitoring an Indian missile test a few days ago. All of the Yuan Wang rocket trackers seem to be in port or in Chinese waters

>>16073623
heh, I recognize this: it's the KAIROS payload that was successfully deployed! (explosively)
y'know, launch failures tend to come in clusters of three....

>>16074143
sink them with 20mm armor piercing fired at 6000 rpm from M61 Vulcans, no more chink.

How come Florida rarely has the boat issue?

>>16074231
They have been doing launches for some time.

>>16074240
Couldn't they just send a Coast Guard vessel to keep boats out?

>>16074245
It's a big sea.

>>16074250
For you

>>16074231
Florida is enforced by military. Even so, during Crew Demo splashdown, there were plenty of boats roaming nearby

>>16073847
god that fucking leg literally gets me hard every time, what's wrong with me

>>16074031
Yeah, all crewed and built with an all up kind of testing philosophy inherited from Apollo you fucking midwit, of course they could not afford them to fail.

>>16074023
Operational shuttle missions lost: 2
Operational Starship missions lost: 0

I can't stand the voice of the NSF guys, they either sound like 9 year old children or gay men.

>>16074338
They got that soi cadence, Estro at least sounds like a normal human despite the moniker

One more hour

trust the plan, White Man.

What happened to NSF? Like 15 years ago they were highly respected boomer space autists, now they all have effeminate voices.

>>16074372
s o y overdose

FUELING

>>16074372
Boomers retired/died
Autists found a job

So you're left only with the soience faggots. Apart from Daz, who seems like the only normal person there.

AHHHHH JUST START THE STREAM

I'm watching LabPadre, he seems normal and hasn't promoted any hat or tshirt yet.

just woke up. what i miss?

>>16074416
lab padre for commentary, estronaut for good cameras

>>16074425
is there even a point of nsf anymore? they're annoying and also have bad cameras, worst of both worlds

>>16074463
You can get a shout out for the low low price of a red superchat (paid in ARS)

>>16074463
You can pay them money to say your name on the internet

>>16074463
rover 1 is the only cam labPadre has that's an interesting angle NSF doesn't have. for the most part for everyday tankwatching NSF has better angles

Fuck Xitter. The only reason I don't want it to go bankrupt and fold is that it'd cost Elon money that could go into SpaceX instead.

Love me Kate
