no

>>16217311
Yes because fuck the janny who stickied the previous thread that was at page 7 or thereabouts at the time.

Yes.

>>16217307
So, when is SLS getting deep sixed?

The little flap that could.

>>16217307
here i just wanted to post this. im going to back to the /comfy/ thread

Report submitted! This window will close in 3 seconds

So no way they use starliner for reentry right?

oh thank god we have images again

>>16217333
>>16217319
Exceeded expectations

>>16217336
Cute!

>>16217321
Why tho? SLS is made for deep space manned missions, starship is made for desploying starlinks in LEO

>>16217334
If the astronauts have a say I doubt it. Butch sounded fucking pissed during docking

>>16217349
I want one of those starship blowtorches.

Uncanny, isn't it?

>>16217334
they wouldn't risk killing two astronauts to prove a point, right?

i just woke up what's going on

>>16217356
Got some work to do to fix those expendable flaps though.

>65km downrange

>>16217350
starship is designed only for low energy high payload launches. its not like they could just use it for low payload high energy launches

>>16217360
flap-chan never gave up

>>16217360
Thunderfoot is on suicide watch.

>>16217350
>SLS is made for deep space manned missions
SLS is made to suck up NASA's entire budget and nothing else. Starship was made to do everything cheaply and inefficiently

>>16217360
boeing saved face and are back on top of the space race

>>16217334
They need 6 thrusters to dock but how many to return to earth?

>>16217307
Okay, kids. Here we go...rather than sit on the sidelines potshotting Musk and SpaceX, here's the full rundown of where Starship stands in relation to the Artemis HLS, as I see it. Will update as the mission progresses, of course.

Feel free to comment.

I hope we get pics of the ship if there’s a recovery effort
Display her in a museum!

>>16217371
common now. half that list will be completed on IFT5.

I still can't believe the flap held on. What an accomplishment.

Anyone got a link to a download of the full stream? I wanna make some VP9 webms.

>>16217350
SLS will cost a fortune for every launch, and it can only be used once. The technology is massively behind the curve.

>>16217360
You missed. EVERYTHING.

>>16217367
Yeah but why are you guys comparing a rocket to get to moon to a LEO deliver?, I dont understand

>>16217371
A long way to go, but to be fair NASA chose private landers really, really late—so ANY lunar lander provider would have needed a ton of time and work.
And it’s not like HLS Moonship is holding the program back in any additional way when you factor in space suits having the same problem and SLS literally not being able to maintain 1 or more flights a year right now

Artemis will happen, it’s just happening with slips and delays moving all the timetables down the road by 5, 6, 7 years at worst

>>16217371
How does this checklist compare to SLS?

Did the second stage blow up or land?

>>16217387
Landed in the drink. Rather toasty though.

>>16217375
I can't believe the ship managed to stay steady with large parts of its control surfaces missing.

>>16217382
I don't think we fully know what starships capabilities are yet and it could very well exceed SLS, right?

>>16217360

>>16217387
It was the wildest reentry I've ever seen, straight from a movie, flap almost melting off but in the end a perfect landing. Signal all the way down.

>>16217382
The SLS has parts from the 60s. It's just an outdated way to do it. If you have a fully reusable ship that's really good at LEO then it can also go anywhere with refilling. In the real world, efficiency is measured in dollars, and science fags have a hard time understanding that.

>>16217387
Flaps failed and it burned up.

>>16217368
>>16217394
what this about boo-urns

>>16217371
>Successful booster recovery

No, to be a successful recovery the booster should be captured by mechazilla

>Successful starship recovery

No, starship was totally destroyed, and it should land on land

>>16217324
That flappy, he's just such a trooper
Got such a strong... one hinge...

>>16217400
Go home wine aunt Phil, you're drunk.

>>16217395
signal all the way down is crazy. how come they lose coms on dragon but starship gets hd video the whole way down?

>>16217397
And then it landed successfully.

Hey I don't actually know anything!
Would starships payload bay big enough to say like, idk deliver apollo's CM and LM to orbit? Theoretically?

>>16217395
>straight from a movie
>Signal all the way down.
Even more hollywoodesque, it lost sigal for a fez seconds at some point making everyone think that was it, but it came back

>>16217360
Kino and Dread.

>>16217406
Big wale in the plasma

>>16217392
I dont think so, elon told me current starship could get 150T to LEO but it turned out to be 40T

>>16217406
3 starlink antennas, one pointing away from the toasty side. Plus it's a fairly big chonker.

>>16217414
but then shuttle should have had comms then no? i guess they didn't have starlink then and it was all ground based

>>16217387
One of the flaps was destroyed by aerodynamic stress live on stream so of course it still managed to achieve a soft landing in the ocean.

>>16217411
I was literally shaking

>>16217406
Big wake in the plasma

>>16217416
Spic faggot the prototype can do that because they aren't optimizing for mass yet

>>16217405
Tell me about what I said its wrong

>>16217418
>i guess they didn't have starlink then
No shit.

>>16217406
Starship is fucking big it leaves a hole in the plasma for the signal to get through

why is there no ship in the landing zone taking footages

>i-it's a successful landing I guess
sparkpaw coping for two hours straight

>>16217429
Because it's not fucking safe to sit in a boat if the FTS goes boom?

NASA: it's impossible to communicate when the plasma bubble is around the spacecraft
also NASA: it's impossible to survive reentry if you lose parts of the spacecraft
astronauts died cuz NASA lied. murder investigation NOW!

>>16217416
>>16217422
So then Starboi could legit just be like a CM in itself and drop a lander while in lunar orbit yeah? Like it clearly has the capability to completely replace SLS in all regards yeh? Yeh??

>>16217422
A 375% increase in payload? hmmm...

Are the grid fins for f9 are also so spastic? They looked like they worked incredibly hard for starship booster

>>16217435
but unironically

>>16217432
Think of the odds of getting hit in the middle of the ocean. It's a perfectly acceptable risk.

>/sfg/ getting more grouchy as the excitement fades

>>16217434
Starship cant even get to the moon, so I dont get it why muskrats keep comparing it to SLS

>>16217441
Yeah, I wouldn't be out in the middle of the fucking Indian Ocean at night getting pelted with stainless steel rings and heat tiles.

Schizos are gonna have a field day with this one.

Namefagging as "Artemis3" for clarity.

>>16217374
Next four could, if it lives up to the hype.

>>16217400
Changed second one to "re-entry" so I didn't ding them, but you're right. Also changed "chopsticks" to "Mechazilla".

>>16217445
it would just need refuel which is as of now part of the plan yeh?

>>16217437
They do bump around somewhat on F9 but this was way harder.
It doesn't do an entry burn and it can't glide in like the ship so it just hits the lower atmosphere like a brick wall

>>16217442

>>16217447
What?

>>16217433
>also NASA: it's impossible to survive reentry if you lose parts of the spacecraft

And they were right, or are you stupid enough to think people would survive in a reentry like starship did?

>>16217446

>>16217447
you need the webm to make your point sir

God DAMN, flap-chan that GANBATTE the shit out of everything despite being completely beaten up, never giving up, is straight out of a shonen animu. Pure Kino.
You'll, never be forgotten, flap-chan.

>>16217416
The rocket is not even filled to the top for these launches.
You're coping
Once there is tanker ships focus will shift to min-maxing the upmass

>>16217432
you don't have to man the ship

>>16217452
Yeah only 20 LMAO

>>16217462

I just realized something, once humanity fucks off into space, nobody will care about /pol/ or politics anymore.

>>16217475
It'll be great

>>16217479
Fuck that. Then they'd be responsible to shareholders and would fall into oldspace complacency.

your honest odds for a succesful landing the moment you saw this?

for me it would have been like 1/100 lol

>>16217486
I was expecting Scheduled Disassembly from hitting the water before launch, so didn't clench anything. Extremely surprised when it moved though.

I told you bare steel can handle reentry

Anyone have a comprehensive list of future starship customers?

There is Vast
Sierra space
Airbus
Nasa hls
There is like one satellite company

Those are all the ones i am aware of.

>>16217479
>>16217484

I'd make so much money though

>>16217486
Everyone at my job today was standing around watching it, and when that happened we were like
>yeah it's over

>>16217486
I went "It's over". But then we were back.

>>16217486
You should have more faith in flap-chan, she never gave up.

>>16217479
I'm jumping on it the second it goes public (if it does).

>>16217477
When the FUCK is he making Starlkink go public

>>16217452
Refueling is the easy part. Trying to land starship on non-ideal terrain is the hard part. They really need to construct a landing pad on the moon first

>>16217486

>>16217512
hi

The Changs also succeeded last night in the next step on their sample mission

i feel tps is dead tech as it's right now without hope becoming better and suited for reuse

>>16217479
If it did I would be rich as hell. The moment I saw Elon's first SpaceX tour from like 2006 I knew he and SpaceX were the real one.
I've never had that sense with another space CEO. They are all grifters, even the stoke space and RFA guys. Stoke space guy is an unremarkable tech CEO and RFA guy is pulling a forced imitation of Elon. They would be happy to sell their companies if they got rich, and if the going got very hard they would liquidate it and move on. Musk won't unless he's dead.

>>16217486
>well they made it through max heating, it’s over but they met their goals for the flight
>well they made it though max q, they won’t make the flip but it’s cool that the ship survived all that
>holy shit the flap is still moving, they stuck the landing!

>>16217506
If they just close the valves they should both float

>who is matt
ok now this is getting creepy.

>>16217482
No Mars until Moon. Eat your vegetables first.

>>16217487
I fully agree with Mr. Thunderf00t that Musk has ended up duplicating the Space Shuttle and all the Moon and Mars talk is hype, but if that's all, it's still quite a lot. If this thing's up to 100T or more that's a ridiculous leap in capabilities for the US. They'll forgive him for walking off with the HLS money once the military leaps to his defense...

>>16217522
Why don't they just design space docking around violent impacts like this?

>>16217560
I'm going back through my timeline and most of what I'm seeing is just the standard Starliner front view from various different distances. That's the big reason why I posted the centaur detach clip; we actually get to see the capsule from a different angle for once.

were there any planes over indian ocean?

>>16217486
maybe 1% yeah, I expected the feed to cut suddenly at any time.
In the other view (before it stopped) we could see a lot of sparkles coming from the bottom, so i guess the rest of the heat shield also suffered, even if was much less. I really wonder what the complete exterior looked like before splashdown.

>>16217587
pic related could have happened with dragon if they'd had that capsule explosion docked rather than on the ground.

>>16217601
Why would they blast the abort system while docked to the ISS you fucking idiot

Neither booster nor Starship reuse is strictly necessary though booster reuse is probably a good idea due to needing 33 raptors each

Who fucking cares what China is doing.

>>16217607
I think they're banking on the utilization rate being better than a plane because the flights are shorter. That would theoretically bring costs down. Exclusively passengers. I don't see it. Just use it for Mars.

>>16217610
Reuse of both is essential for HLS, if the refueling estimates are correct (somewhere between 6 and 20 tanker missions, depending on who you ask).

>>16217617
I'm defining it as complete when it's a bona fide launch and return to dry tarmac.

reuse is obviously critical for the Starship programme to be the paradigm shifting launch vehicle its supposed to be, but reusing starships isn't strictly necessary for HLS so they might do expendable refueling flights just to get on with it

A 2million dollar starship launch is comparable to a cargo plane operating for however long it takes to get to the destination but its also faster.

>>16217710
My way of saying that it's demonstrating that 100T lift capacity, but yeah, not an Artemis requirement. Final, final edit to merge that goal with "Orbital refueling demonstrated".

>>16217725
are any soldiers really that valuable?

Didn't Starship do a vertical landing during the soft water splashdown? they had to do a flip manuever i.e. vertical landing to land softly on the water

>open the hatch and a torrent of shit floods in

>>16217741
>butch and suni both shit themselves on the way up
i don't blame them

>>16217745
and they also did this a few years ago while doing starship hop tests, they did the same flip now

>>16217740
Not if I drop mine in yours first

>>16217733
Starship will not cost $2 million a flight

>>16217745
It's not a landing unless it's on land.

>t. thundercel

>>16217756
What we had today was a watering

>>16217725
It'll be shot down during descent and landing unless you already have significant enough presence at the destination to clear and hold the area, at which point you don't need such an express delivery. You'll also get nuked in response because its flight profile up until reentry is identical to icbm and nobody's gonna sit and wait to see what it is. And if you're against someone without nukes you again don't need anything like that.

>>16217756
I doubt they are going to do that

>>16217753
it will cost 20k a flight. you cant prove otherwise.
if you have 100 employees on 60k a year just fly it 300 times a year.

>>16217746

>>16217765
Do yourself a favor and look up the going rate of bulk lox and lng, then look up the wet mass of ss/sh

20k is a nonstarter. It needs to be 2k.

Can anybody explain if thunderf00t is just acting a role so he can suck out money from the anti musk reddit crowd or does he genuinely believe all he says? Because he sure as fuck acted so utterly petty and pathetic on his stream that I would be hard pressed to believe he was acting.

fr fr why they spend government money on blowing up Musk's rocket instead of feeding the poor?

>>16217486
I am a natural optimist and thought it still had a chance

You now remember KSP2

>>16217471
it will need quite some fuel but look at the difference between what SLS will put on the lunar surface V what starship can. SLS/Orion probably wont be doing much more in terms of payload than Apollo was, while starship will be dropping 100 ton per landing. Its all fine, i like that theres multiple systems being developed.

Still prefer it over KSP2

>>16217712
Even though it was a soft landing, super heavy did land in the sea and salt water would fuck up a lot of stuff.

I genuinelly cant wait for the common sense skeptic BANGER about IFT4. will be a great watch.

the goal isn't to land in salt water.

>>16217528
>Mr. Thunderf00t that Musk has ended up duplicating the Space Shuttle
thats a pretty lame way of describing it, because SS is fully reusable and wont take 6 months to cycle for another launch, which will itself be WAAAAAY cheaper than each shuttle launch. And of course, the moon and mars talk is what they're making it for.

>>16217827
There won't be one unless he finds some shoddy article about endangering schools of vulnerable sardines or something to "back it up" with.

He's already got plenty of material for the next video
>burnthrough on the flap

that is all he needs to spin it as another catastrophic loss. Then mix in stuff about how it's far behind on the schedule unlike starliner which SUCEEDED first mission.

iirc he's been pissing and shitting over Musk for well over a decade now
I am still to this day amazed his heart hasn't detonated like a hand grenade from the stress

>>16217845
its like, you know, heavy man

>>16217548
>simulated
He doesn't know

>>16217880
Lol, are you still here?

>>16217849
he first got "internet famous" for making about fifty thousand youtube videos dunking on the stupidest christian creationists he could find; basically picked the easiest possible target to make himself look smart. He was doing this when internet atheism was on the rise, so he rode that trend and in years sense has been trying to ride the anti-elon trend too. Chasing the dragon, looking for more dregs of relevance and success.

He's honestly pitiful.

>>16217881
why would he be under stress?

>>16217324
This was such a thrill, when it started coming apart I was just expecting the ship to blow up at any moment, but then it went and completed the flight

>>16217638
no it wouldn't

>>16217881
weird. did they reject his job application or something?

>>16217639
please leave the internet if you cannot get irony

>>16217902
those tiles werent where the fuel tanks are.
There was clearly burnthrough and im astonished the engines relit at the end. the sensors on them were fucked which is why it never said they were lit on the diagram.

/g/ here

Can someone explain why you all hate thunderf00t now? I haven't seen him in a while but his debunk of popular scam science shit like solar roadways was cool. Did he go woke or something to piss you all off?

>>16217912
I gurantee you one tile fell off the fuel tank too.

>He tried to argue Falcon 9 was more expensive than Shuttle because he didn’t understand the figures he was pulling from Wikipedia
>He made a spreadsheet claiming that re-use wouldn’t be viable before 10 flights (which SpaceX now exceeded) but even with his toy model had to lie about what it said to make that case

>>16217954
Don't ask me. I'm not a fucking chemist. Phil is still like an electrician giving unwanted advice on plumbing because he also did trades.

>>16217920
The problem is that /g/ is just as gay and retarded as he is
Being an “intellectual” isn’t a lifestyle; it’s a faggy, pretentious peacock act to look smart and seek validation. And in his case, he leans too far into the grift. Yeah you can point out flaws in tesla, or make fun of the hyperloop idea. But phil mason acts like SpaceX itself is some sort of scam act who are laundering money and burning the books and making up numbers and figures despite the more-than-obvious success of the company

>>16217961
I don't think he's actually that stupid but he knows his audience is.

>>16217954
Scifi books seem to favor metallic hydrogen

>>16217964
Yeah I think that as well, to an extent. I think he found out where the money is. And you can’t blame a man for a hustle.
But my goodness he has said some VERY obliquely stupid things about rocketry and spaceflight and I have to question where the scam ends and where his actual lobotomized reasoning skills starts

Whatever reactionless drive that uap use to propel themselves.

>>16217967

>>16217970
You need to CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS first.

>>16217923
Nuke chads... we won...

I think they should just use disposable solid fuel rockets to launch starship

>>16217973
Chemists would hate a reactionless drive.

>>16217983
Well i think you're a fucking retard. What part of fully and rapidly reusable do you not get?
>>16217985
Good. Chemistry is gay. physics is chad and based. Instead of using gay chemical reactions where particles fuck each other in the ass to produce a meager propulsion, reactionless drives harness the power of physics exploits to achieve superluminal speeds.

>>16216171
BUMP

As kino as flight 4 was, imagine how cool it’s going to be watching a first person flip maneuver from a camera that isn’t smudged with flap and a cracked lens.

>>16217993
didn't they have another camera or did it go bust which somehow I doubt it considering what this camera has survived.

>>16217993
Just more things to look forward to

>>16217993
Watching the catch is going to be surreal

>>16217997
I think the other one was directly on the side rather than slightly on top.
There's no way it survived.

>>16217993
Remember when we got the first video of a Falcon 9 landing on the ocean except the video was corrupted and it took great effort to reconstruct anything from it?

>>16217912
why was there clearly burnthrough

>>16218007
sparks and green shit flying off the back of the ship, same as what was happening on the flap but less severe. that was metal melting and burning away btw

>>16217805
I think this woman could stand to be a little bit hungry.
Or maybe at least share some food with her kids.

>>16217956
>>He tried to argue Falcon 9 was more expensive than Shuttle because he didn’t understand the figures he was pulling from Wikipedia

he's not wrong Musk has probably swindled billions from tax payers, look at hyperlool

>>16218009
so sparks don't happen at all if everything is intact? makes some sense
