>video shows elon chilling for a moment, staring in awe of his creation
>tim walks into the frame, stands next to elon, stares up agape and says "that's insaaaane"

>>16251641
Yeah someone needs to photoshop Elon out of it and just leave Tim Dodd.

>>16251627
SER PLS BE OF REMOVING THIS MANIPULATED IMAGE, IT IS NOT FOR THE PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

>>16251633
>unbrilliants your pebbles

can someone link the it's not that easy in rocketry youtube video.

>>16251645
now i'm imagining a video edit that removes all of elon's dialogue other than the occasional "yeah" and it's just estronaut spazzing out for 40 minutes

>>16251649
Sprint is a terminal phase interceptor, how does that counter a swarm of orbital boost phase interceptors?

>>16251652
remove elon completely so it's just an hour of an autist trespassing on spacex property rambling to himself

>>16251652
I'm imagining an edit where it's just Tim Dodd saying that's insane etc.

>>16251652
lmao
a supercut of "thats insane" would be funny

>>16251652
I don't even know how to edit videos, but I'm going to do it after my finals.

>Teams completed the launch readiness review, and we are targeting Tuesday, June 25 for Falcon Heavy’s launch of NASA's GOES-U mission from pad 39A in Florida. Teams are keeping an eye on weather, which is 30% favorable for liftoff

Florida is just not having the best time of it

>>16251658
he recycled a few adjectives, but yes it would be great to have a supercut of both parts of estronaut basedjaking

>>16251658
yeah hahahaha that's crazy yeah most peop-people don't even like know that its so insane man. *forced laugh*

>>16251659
the easiest way to edit videos is to give a list of timestamps to chatgpt and ask it to translate that into an ffmpeg invocation.

whoa, look at that OP!
that's crazy, hahaha

>>16251669
Got a better even more lightweight. not to mention cheap material for reflecting heat?

>>16251669
What's wrong with mylar? It's a cheap insulator.

>>16251281
That's crazy

>>16251669
we need metamaterial shielding to redirect photons around the satellite. michio kalu has the patents

>>16251675
yeah

So see yiu guys in 2 years for the next factory "tour"

I mean it’s just unbelievable you guys are LITERALLY catching the booster like thats insane you know its hard to even….you know fathom that this is REAL like most people don’t even know…..*tongue click* insane….

>>16251704
Coconuts are an invasive weed that can survive in a wide array of tropical climates. Not native to the western hemisphere btw

>>16251697
SpaceX need to develop their all-weather capabilities. This is a huge embarrassment.

Like i don’t even ugh… amazing

>>16251709
As Wernher von Braun once said, "Coconuts belong wherever they want to go."

>>16251709
Coconuts are not a weed, they are a woody not a herbacious plant.

>>16251709
They are a very successful species that has conquered the world's tropical beaches in part thanks to humans.

>>16251718
White people will be the coconuts of the human race, we will go where nobody else dares to.

Like that’s insane man *hahaha*

>>16251717
A weed is any unwanted plants. However coconuts are always welcome, so they cannot be weeds.

>>16251716

>>16251746
it would be better to have a second skin and between it and the inner skin to flow the liquid propellant before feeding this warmed fuel into a holding tank ready for the landing. in this way the heat can be transferred to the engine where its obviously more useful.

>>16251748
Old shit breaks and there's a long way to a proper workshop for repairs.

>>16251748
micrometeor damage? or did one of the astronauts go drill-crazy again?

>>16251746

Link the part 2 of the tour pls

>>16251755
From the way the hole was, we can tell the hole was drilled after the part was painted, the drill bit skated around on the part before it found purchase, and there was no evident remnant or residue of any patching compound that might have been applied before launch and then failed once in space.

highly likely the hole was drilled in space.

>>16251748
>Spacewalk canceled after dangerous water leak started spraying ice out of the suit

>He was almost discovered

>>16251803
If I'm not incorrect, then you need to have some sort of really good explanation to explain why we DID NOT see Tracy successfully make it to the airlock where she would've been more or less safe, especially since repressurization would've begun immediately, and would've only taken an upper maximum of 10 minutes.
Usually, this borders on schizo-levels of dedication to the convoluted explanation. Forgive me for calling it a schizo theory.

>>16251765
Don't you think that Russia would use it to emberass the US? They have lots of reason to do that but chose not to.

>>16251812
They blamed America, and then regretted it and walked it back big time with equal haste

>>16251794
The supporters who believe in their leaders follow the footsteps of their leaders. There are also 12K+ spacex employees not all of them have social media accounts, some do, some dont.

>>16251787
I think the theory is that the medical emergency training sim wasn't actually a sim and the crew lineup for the following spacewalk changed because the one guy we were expecting to go out didn't because he's in the corpse wiggler.

>>16251794
Where's the video?

>mutts still carrying water for their loony dykes sabotage
wew

>>16251819
Wasn't it Rogozin who blamed America? Those accusations were quickly retracted by the higher ups.

Seething Beck

>>16251822
That would've been June 12th then(I'm reading through an archive and they mention that as yesterday.) As far as I can tell(which was very limited because I did ONE google search and looked at it for 38 seconds,) the 13th was the space walk where they had the leak.

ift-5 will be the most critical spacex launch in their entire history, tied only with falcon 1 flight 4.

>>16251753
>>16251755
>>16251765
>>16251825
Russian techs installed a gyro upside down, causing the notorious inverted rocket incident. They've been declining in quality for years, mostly due to low wages. We'll likely never know but I'd bet on russian technicians drilling a hole and then not bothering to report it.

>>16251766
Anyone have another link? This one just seems to reload constantly

>>16251830
Okay, I retract my previous statements. I read a bit more into this. June 13th was the originally intended date.
I feel like they wouldn't cover up Dominick's death though, not without a VERY good reason.
A shame that none of the cameras point inside of the station. Imagine being able to see from within the observation station.

On a scale of Apollo 1 to Challenger at what stage of the flight back to earth will the wicked witch melt?

>>16251826
it was more than just rogozin who spread it and the higher-ups who rebuked it never really made any statements of fact one way or the other
>But deputy prime minister Yury Borisov rejected Kommersant's report, saying that "it is absolutely unacceptable to cast a shadow either on our cosmonauts or on American astronauts," RIA Novosti state news agency reported.
>He also stressed the ISS was "a unified group where there are no political disagreements."
you've had lots of denials from the american side but never any full explanations or any rationale for why we're so confident it had to have been drilled on the ground. no investigation reports made public. i can't make any claims to know what happened but it sure looks like there was something funny going on.

>>16251845
Ill go with challenger on this one

>>16251834
kek

>>16251842
>I feel like they wouldn't cover up Dominick's death
There are people who think NASA faked the deaths of the Challenger crew. It doesn't have to make sense.

>>16251845
Challenger (the Apollo 17 LM (it will crash into the moon))

>>16251832
True, thunderchad will rejoyce when it explodes and SpaceX goes bankrupt.

>>16251845
Slightly past challenger, and we'll get audio recordings just like the russian ones of the astronauts realizing they're dying and cursing Boeing

>>16251739
>>16251746
Kek, I've asked that on here a couple of times as a shitpost, did he really ask Elon about this?

>>16251779
ISS is an old junker, no one wants it

>>16251832
That already happened when IFT-4 successfully completed all its goals

>>16251845
>Wicked Witch
Splashdown, obviously

>>16251846
It's diplomacy.
Making it public and airing out the laundry would be very embarrassing for whomever is at fault, and for projects like the ISS where international cooperation is the aim, you can't really expose your partner as incompetent without threatening the cooperation itself. Thus the awkward situation and the mutual cover up.

Whatever happened, Rogozin obviously violated that principle, probably because he didn't care much for the ISS since it's so expensive, and became even more expensive after dragon, since NASA stopped paying for flights at exorbitant fees (I remember him making public comments on this). His superiors obviously disagreed with him, thus their more conciliatory language.

>>16251902
Yes it's accurate word for word. Quite early in the first video, while they're still at the starting location. Tim first asks about active cooling eg transpiration then comes up with his brilliant idea.

If I understand it correctly, Elon said that footage from internal cameras has shown the red-hot steel.

>>16251886
we all know thunderchad secretly want's Elon to succeed,
however he still needs to pay the bills and rent and Jeff Bezos has offered to pay him weekly to make SpaceX hit pieces.

>>16251905
sometimes reproducing a successful result is harder than getting the first success to begin with

>>16251812
"Russia did it on purpose to frame America" is a very different narrative from "the hole was merely an accident on the ground"

>>16251916
>>16251905
if the booster doesn't ballistic trajectory the tower and OLM into a new crater, and the tower catch is successful on fifth flight, it will completely upend the heavy and superheavy lift market without launching a single payload to orbit. That's a big IF of course, but the potential energy of success is, to quote Dim Todd: "that's insane!"

>>16251919
I meant that if American astronaut did it, Russians could reveal war. They're in a proxy war with US, why would they care about being diplomatic?

watch a safety window literally pop out and fall off of the #Boeing #Starliner capsule on its way to the pad. what a joke.

1) Fanboys are obsessive and uncritical fans who idolize individuals, creating an idealized image of them.
2) Haters are also obsessive and uncritical, but they reject and criticize famous individuals, often considering them to be frauds.
3) Haters are essentially fanboys with a negative disposition
4) The fame of the individual fuels both fanboys and haters, who are energized by their reactions to the famous person.
5) People who are objects of devotions like this can best deal with the situation by not engaging or overthinking their actions.

>You and ULA too

>>16251922
Is the tower catch for IFT5 actually confirmed? He said IFT4 would have it too but obviously that didn't happen

>>16251940
nothing's ever confirmed until launch day but he's said they're still trying it it a few times since

>>16251909
It was less about the ISS being expensive and more about Rogozin wanting to get his old job back. He was originally the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the defense and space industries, which meant that he was the boss of the the previous head of Roscosmos, Igor Komarov. Being vocally anti-western on social media framed him as very patriotic supporter of President Putin. This sort of brown nosing might have won him a favor or two if it hadn't been for the fact that he he broke the cardinal rule of government work in Russia: don't make your boss look bad. Under Rogozin's leadership corruption got bad enough that there were actually trials and convictions over it while Russia's space capabilities slid in a way that was visible to and frequently commented on by foreign observers, so he got demoted again to being senator of Zaporozhye Oblast where he could collect a much deserved ass full of shrapnel.

https://fireflyspace.com/news/firefly-aerospace-adds-alpha-launch-capability-on-wallops-island-virginia/
They don't just still exist, they're actually expanding. I'm not sure why they feel the need for a second east coast launch complex. It might be a sign they're planning on abandoning their claim for SLC-20 in favor of consolidating onto Northrop's preexisting facilities in Virginia.

So I get why they don't kaunch in bad weather historically but the launch cadence is getting high enough where it's becoming a detriment. How major of an impact is bad weather? How bad does the weather actually need to be to actually cause serious problems? If x% of rockets get destroyed in bad weather have we reached a total launch capacity in good weather to justify it?

What a fucking mess

>>16252085
The best part is no part (hypergolic engine superiority)

>>16252071
That's how you would get a moonbase reactor into orbit Kerbal style

>>16252085
The RS-25E is supposed to be significantly cheaper and easier to produce than previous blocks. I remain unconvinced, but the the RS-25D isn't exactly a high bar to have to clear in that department.

>>16252087
It's so much simpler! And with the improved density you could fit over three thousand tons of hypergolic propellant into a shuttle external tank while shaving off over two tons of dangerous and unnecessary foam insulation.

>>16252089
I think the “reduced cost” is still some absurd number on the order of like $140 million/engine

How many times can they be reused?

>>16252095
can, or will?

>>16252096
Both

>>16252094
The comparison I kept seeing was that each engine cost about as much as an expended Falcon Heavy

>>16252095
It's not about building reusable engines; it's about building a reusable rocket factory. Please understand that this is very hard

Yeah. It was honestly something else to witness his face drop upon unmuting and realizing that he hadn't witnessed what he thought it was.
Honestly might watch his IFT-5 stream if he makes one, because I wanna watch that happen in real time this time.

>>16252158
>might watch his IFT-5 stream if he makes one
he won't, you can tell all the A-list seethers are afraid to make videos addressing IFT-4 now. if IFT-5 blows up they might jump back in.

>>16252165
Given the post-stream seething that's mentioned in the video, I think he might actually be that delusional.
Otherwise though, I'll pal around with you guys. It'll be fun to watch it with someone else, especially now that my dad is going back to work and can't be around early in the morning to watch a launch with me.

going back and watching some old EDS videos and one goalpost movement i'm noticing is that a few years ago the line was that starship has no commercial applications because nobody needs 100t payloads in LEO. now the gripe is that starship will only ever be useful for its commercial application of putting 100 tons' worth of starlink sats into LEO.

>>16252216
>100 tons' worth of starlink sats into LEO.
That's not a real commercial use

>>16251922
Even if the booster crashed into the launch pad it wouldn't be game over. The worst thing would probably be if they miss and it hits the tank farm near the pad. The booster will more or less be empty by the time it's trying to land so there wouldn't be some huge fireball as if it was full. The tower is pretty sturdy, I don't think there would be any major damage even if the booster hit it.

>>16252194
TDS

>>16251940
They are going to attempt a tower catch, but if there is anything with the wrong with the booster they will abort into the gulf of Mexico.

>>16252398
Malding kek

>>16252435
Yeah if it hits the tower the damage will be minimal, thing will just crumple like a coke can against the absolute unit of the tower. GSE getting hit would be the worst but they really do have the landing programming dialed in from falcon 9, I think it will be fine.

>>16252078
The RS-25 is a beautiful engine with a lot of history and it makes me sad that they're just disposing of the last few shuttle engines we have. I dont know, put them on display somewhere or something.

if they attempt a tower catch on ift-5 then how are they gonna stop the hotstage ring from slamming into the ground? it can't have landed very far from the booster on ift-4.

https://x.com/NASA_LSP/status/1805338164233396656

>>16252470
Hotstage was ejected over 2 minutes before descent. It landed nowhere near the booster.

>>16252265
>Some fucking chink runs up to the still steaming capsule to plant a flag so the bugmen can larp that it was some kind of pinpoint landing
Lmao

>>16252010
They were testing the new suits in a mock up of a HLS segment like last week I think. I haven't seen anything else really about the interior except fan renders. I imagine it really just depends on how the starship testing goes and how much free space they are going to have inside the ship in its final form.

>>16252475
and yet it was still right next to the booster less than a minute before touchdown. so how far away did it land, mr. expert?

>>16252016

My heart breaks for Tim since that Japanese guy pulled out of the Dear Moon mission. I can only imagine how excited he was for it even though it wasn't going to be soon. I remember when he made a video about it and surprised his family saying that he was going, and buddy looked so happy. It's my ultimate dream to be able to go into space at some point in my life. If someone told me that I was going, only to just cancel it I would be heart broken. Tim is a bit funny and autistic but I enjoy his content. I wish he could get a seat on a Dragon capsule like one of the Axiom missions. Instead of sending some billionaire with money to burn up there give the seat to someone that's pretty much dedicated their entire life to educating others on spaceflight.

I feel like out of the whole crew, he was the only one that actually cared. Both funny and sad. Like telling your kids they're not getting ice cream but one of them really wanted one.

orange - good
purple - good
yellow - not ideal but probably fine
blue - probably bad
green - very bad

>>16252500
No to me his whole response seems quite immature. Did he really take it as absolutely set in stone that this trip would go ahead? Surely he could see that things would be greatly delayed at best. If it were me I'd have had an attitude of "I'll believe it when I'm in LEO"

qrd on starliner?

>>16252487
It's visibly slowing down at a different rate than the booster, and they both have velocity towards the launch site as this is happening, so it can only land short of the booster even assuming it's not leveraging the little cross range it has by deliberately flying askew.
If it's anything like falcon, it's targeting the water, moving the impact point as it's "gliding" to just offshore and then moving it further as the engines come online and translates onto the landing zone.
If the grid fins lose any control authority, it ends up in the drink. If the engines fail to light it ends up in the drink. The interstage adapter can only ever land short of the booster if both those things happen so it physically cannot come anywhere near ground infrastructure.

>>16252515
It's NOT stuck
Let's put a stop to these rumours right now

>>16252515
it's a complete embarrassment for boeing that they don't know how to install helium valves but nobody's stranded or in any danger and everyone's setting themselves up for disappointment if they think there's gonna be a happening during reentry

>>16252445
maximum kino if it crashes into the tower and crumples in such a way that it gets stuck on the tower

>>16252536
and then 5 minutes later the hotstage ring comes in like the world's biggest discus and 9/11s it

>>16252538
They can land a fucking office building. I'm pretty sure they can do the math to safely ditch the hotstage ring in the drink.

No they haven't, not yet. It's a fixed price with payout being at milestones. Boeing only gets money when they actually reach those goals. Sure they managed to squeeze a little extra money out of nasa before dragon got going but they have no reason to do that now.
But yeah if/when starliner reaches it's milestones the payout will have been bigger for starliner.

>>16252640
It'll probably blow up on landing first time so we're probably in for at least one good explosion.

I prefer Starship with landing legs that isn't caught by the tower.

>>16252645
The speed of turnaround they're looking for doesn't like landing legs though.

>>16252647
Vulcan was not ULA's first rocket. It shook the payload apart too.

So the one rocket that doesnt have any parts wasted and is worked mostly on private land or shared properties like LC-39A, has also been extensively checked over by the FWS, FAA and likely other agencies like the EPA, has to be limited in launches per year? Meanwhile New Glenn hasnt flown once or had all these checks and will be ditching its upper half? Glass houses, Bezos. Maybe a countersuit is in order.

>>16252659
yeah but BO's first rocket didn't reach orbit its first 25 times

>>16252628
Obviously, but a few metres could be the difference between a safe catch and a wonky booster half resting on its' grid fins

>>16252500
Wow, that's so crazy!

Their bodies were naturally mummified by the sub-zero temperatures and dry winds in the cave in which they were found.
