Would it even be possible to land something on Sedna and have it be functional? Let alone outer solar system bodies? Surely the input latency would be so massive that it would be impossible.

Why does it always come back to tesla stock with these people?

What would it take for Bezos to give up on launchers and focus on space stations? Would he rather die without seeing his dream realized, than just using SpaceX to launch his hardware? I don't understand. If I was in his position I would've built Orbital Reef using Falcon 9 already. Does he care about space at all? Or does he care but his ego matters more?

>>16487768
>Does he care about space at all?
hahaha
No.

>>16487768
the actions he takes, this seems to be about clout and ego more than the importance of the achievements themselves
you can see it in the fact that he wasn't involved with BO until a year or two ago, i.e. he didn't really give a shit about it

>>16487738
I wonder why some are less "lit up" than other

>>16487768
>Would he rather die without seeing his dream realized, than just using SpaceX to launch his hardware?
Yes. Reminder that the board of Kuiper got mad because he refused to launch on Falcon 9.

>>16487768
>Or does he care but his ego matters more?
It's not so much his ego as his own identity thats at stake here. It's been known for a while that bezos wanted to do this since childhood. He sees himself as the space guy. So when someone else actually becomes the thing he wants to be then it's a threat to his self-conception.

>>16487768
>Or does he care but his ego matters more?
His ego.
Just look at that whole thing about the old saturn 5 rocket engines he had a crew pick up from the bottom of the ocean.
That entire docu was one big circlejerk about how he is such a space visionary, but at the same time articles were leaking out that blue origin was in trouble because bezos put yes men in control of the company who only knew how to run warehouses and abuse their staff.

>>16487776
>>16487778
>>16487783
Well, bummer. He definitely has more liquidity than Musk, I'd have to guess several times more considering their very different positions. His cash could've been a real help to SpaceX. Building his giant space stations between Mars windows would've been a cool way to keep up the cadence. I'm not nearly as optimistic about cylinders and asteroid mining as I am about Mars, but the sooner we get them figured out the sooner we can stick an Orion drive on the back. His work could've still been remembered by history

i dont know or understand any of the technical stuff behind spaceflight, but i love it anyway

>>16487786
I stay for the cute anime rocket girls.

>>16487768
All Bezos cares about is appealing to his own vanity, he’s put his midlife crisis on full display for the entire world and it’s pathetic. That webm of him blasting champagne at his horrifying demon bimbo wife while William Shatner sits solemnly after they’ve both experienced one of the most profound things a human can go through shows he doesn’t actually care about space and just wants to appear like a cool billionaire

As NASA increasingly relies on commercial space, there are some troubling signs
>There are growing concerns about the sustainability of this strategy, though. Some contractors are struggling financially, and others have bowed out of commercial programs entirely. Inside the space agency, too, there appears to be some pushback against these private space initiatives, with agency officials seeking more control. Some key commercial space leaders have left or been edged out of the agency, leaving questions about who will champion these programs. In short, after nearly two decades, NASA’s commercial space efforts are starting to show some cracks.
>The problem is that NASA has gotten away from the guiding principles that led to success with the early cargo and crew programs.
>Some of the new commercial programs have skipped the COTS development phase entirely and have gone directly into the services phase—even though the contractors are still developing their hardware. NASA also appears to be funding a far lower share of costs than it did during the cargo and crew programs. Additionally, many of the new programs do not have any near-term customers except the government, so NASA is not one of many customers—it is the only customer.
>And perhaps most importantly, NASA is loading the companies down with requirements. NASA is adding requirements, changing them, and burdening contractors with thousands of requirements rather than hundreds.
>“They have shoved a cost-plus contract into a fixed-price environment,” one senior government source said. “Instead of a lean contract, there are thousands of requirements for something that has no other customers.”
>Added an official from a commercial space company working on a fixed-price contract with NASA: “It certainly feels like a lot of people are treating us like we’re a cost-plus contractor."

if the filesize is limited but the playtime is not, the possibility exists that we may be exposed to a moving postage stamp sized video several hours long, and THAT cannot be ricked or tolerated

>>16487891
>The cost of fixed price
huh

>>16487888
because the doors had to be open all the time while in orbit?

>>16487893
nasa is making it harder for companies to complete the contracts. the requirements are too much for newspace companies, and the money too low for oldspace companies, so its becoming very ineffecient and useless.

>>16487891
Hopefully the new admin is going to fix that.

>>16487894
kek, I meant in missions where they wouldn't be deploying any payloads, just chilling inside as if it were a space station. they could dedicate one of the orbiters, say endeavor or discovery, for this, so that they don't have to add and remove the extra ECLSS all the time.

I've extracted the original size of the sonic boom maps from the pdf

>>16487895
it would work if every company was spacex

>>16487899
it was designed to be modular you dope

>>16487903
we were fucking ROBBED

>>16487902
i was wondering if the companies working on these projects could hire spacex or some other company to help them get the contracts done

>>16487849
we know the answer to that for at least the mobics on the ground, and the answer is yes
but I don't think the men holding the keys to the kingdom feel the same way

>>16487823
What the fuck? Those don't look like MIRVs

>>16487899
NTA but the payload bay doors HAD to open on the Shuttle no matter what. It’s the only way the radiators could work. If the doors got jammed, it would abort the mission and the orbiter had to return to Earth.
The closest thing to what you are describing would be SpaceHab

>>16487895
then just make the requirements laxer, easy
if no one else except spacex is able to compete, then make the competition easier and have multiple providers so other companies get a lifeline
should still be much cheaper and better than cost+ to oldspace

“I don't know if they understand what they're doing,” a private industry official said. “The government's really got to look at itself. They’ve got to continue to strip it down and keep the focus on ‘how do I get this hardware out?’ They do that by being very, very, very thoughtful about how they're managing the contract. They’ve always got to be thinking, ‘How do I reduce my overhead on the contract?’ It forces you to be very deliberate in all aspects of your product, program, and project management related to that service. And honestly, if you do that, guess what? You get more hardware for your dollars.”

>>16487931

They follow the SpaceX playbook where the foundational layer is software and everything is built on top of it. Traditional entities in space do the opposite, in that they build the hardware first and worry about the software after or outsource it to a subprime to handle it. This makes the capabilities specialized, but lack any flexibility to evolve and tends to require a redesign on a contracted basis. SpaceX, Anduril, couple software and hardware at its source, so that changes in hardware informed by physics, will feedback into the software layer and in turn drive innovation to allow new options downstream of its development pipelines.

It's what has allowed them to accelerate and disrupt spaces that have been otherwise strangeheld and stagnant.

LM10 shares a supply chain with other rockets like LM10A and LM12, which should make it a lot cheaper than a bespoke rocket like Apollo's S5. Likewise, the Mengzhou capsule has a LEO variant. LM10 also shares a pad with LM10A. So at least they should be able to launch more times than Apollo did, without breaking the bank.

>catch up 10-20yrs of progress in the next 4yrs.
LM9 schedule was moved left to NET 2030, and that rocket could probably be used to deliver about 50t of cargo to the moon. The full reuse variant is now NET 2033-2035. So it might be less than 10 years rather than 20 years

I doubt a starship would be allowed to land if even one of the engines got fucked. If they considered a slightly bent antenna enough of a hazard to scrap the catch, then you can bet your ass they wouldn't risk it with an engine. Definitely not if it's one of the inner ones.

>Their sole function was to give dirt farmers the illusion of hope
More likely, the most important function of religion has been to give legitimacy to the bandit gangs... I mean governments, who regularly stole fro... I mean taxed them. And to deter from rebellious and antisocial behavior.

The more time passed, the better religions became at this purpose, until we arrived at monotheism and dei gratia rex.

>>16488329
My only point was that Elon shouldn't be the one in charge of it. "go forth and multiply" out of context and extrapolated out is what Elon already does, having dozens of kids without being their father so one of them goes tranny. I don't want to know what a society like that looks like. Prioritizing number of lives as fungible units of labor without prioritizing life itself.

I would have to see who controls the office. For all we know they might fold it into NASA or Space Force, or rebrand it as its own thing. The real problem is getting the FAA to not drag their heels on NOTAMS and shit. Since they explicitly control that, and even if they don't have the capability to outright deny a launch license anymore, they can slow roll launches by not doing their function that enables the launches.

a shame, I really prefer starbase/boca chica as the main launch site. after all, it's 100% owned by musk, they have way more freedom there, as opposed to using a government-owned facility, where they are subject to the incumbent admin's whims, which changes every 4 years.
