Unless you can stop the UV degradation of the foam it'll naturally form an orange pigmentation, and if you use a UV-formed dye that changes the composition, it'll be necessary to make sure that it doesn't make the stuff useless as insulation.

Well yeah, as long as it doesn't harm profits too much (the paint, even colorful, still provides a useful protective layer, the only "waste" of money is that colored paint is more expensive and that you might not be able to sell the plane for as much as you would if it were plain white), and this already happens with rockets, painting flags and logos or even the big flame on vulcan. That still doesn't mean you can ignore the impacts, just that you allow yourself some margin. Slightly more expensive paint ≠ 270kg of lost payload mass.

From a super low altitude of 200km, assuming zero atmosphere, the whale would be moving at ~2000m/s by the time it hit the surface.

Obviously in reality the atmosphere would slow this rate of acceleration, but by the time it hits the thicker atmosphere it would be pushing like 1500m/s, ~ Mach 4.

God, the Constellation program was so cool. In hindsight, it never was going to make it, as the current SLS is somewhat similar - but even smaller - to the planned Ares V, and it’s having a million and a half issues. But still, it’s very cool.
The Altair Lunar Lander would’ve cost $15 billion to build, which is 50% higher than even the National Team’s original ILV bid ($10 billion). Crazy!
If Constellation
>Used Shuttle-C instead (no serious development time or money on changing the external tank)
And
>Used proto-HLS selection (makes landers competitive)
It might’ve had a better chance of working.
The final interesting thing is that it was downscaled as the size of the rockets grew. At first, Orion would carry crew to the ISS, as well as cargo via an unmanned Orion capsule similar to Cargo Dragon, and even cargo in an expendable pressurized container 5 meters wide like a fat Cygnus.
Of course, Ares I grew larger still and eventually Orion lost its use as a cargo launcher to the ISS.

Except it wouldn't, because entering from close to orbital velocity means the whale would be blowtorched by mach 20+ 5000 celsius plasma, which is an effective way of atomizing a large mammal into oxide vapors and dust.

Common wisdom is maybe the wrong term, I mean that's the opinion people generally gravitate to because we have nothing else to go off of, but as I said, since we don't have actual numbers we don't actually know.

>If one preburner starts slightly ahead of the other then it feeds the other preburner with more fuel or oxygen than it needs at that moment thus pushing the ratio towards stochiometric.
This isn't true because the minor propellant stream feeding each preburner is not a straight pipe, there is a control valve along the way and the engine is set so that the maximum possible flow rate is too small to allow the gasses in the preburner to get hot enough to cause damage. Besides that, the ratio in the preburners is VERY far from stoichiometric, so much so that the gasses exiting the preburner aren't even hot enough to autoignite on contact in the main combustion chamber. That means they're running something like >95% fuel rich or oxygen rich, depending on the pump.

Less powerful engines just have more margin to shutdown precisely, possibly leading to minor improvements in accuracy that are held in esteem by old space companies with nothing else to show off as they cannot compete on price. If customers actually valued highly precise insertions all upper stages would have higher delta-v RCS to get it perfect before release. Satellites normally carry spare onboard propellant to make sure they have more than enough for their intended life and you can see in the ULA bullseye image that their insertion requirement was ironically very easy to meet. This is partly because GTO to GEO satellites have high delta-v so they can do the inclination change/circularization burn, and station-keeping there is much more intensive than most other orbits.

You have to start somewhere.

On top of that, the retirees could also have children on Mars as well, along with fresh arrivals from Earth, the retirees and their children could start business/work as they expand the base further and further out. Maybe their children from Earth could come visit, who knows. It will be organic.

It should be pretty obvious to anyone that day one boots on the ground on Mars on the ground isn't going to qualify as the start of the colony effort, it will be the start of human exploration and the buildup of an industrial base on Mars. This low level industrial base will be what is needed to get a simple inhabited facility operational, and the lessons learned from living on Mars those first few sinodes would be what informs our first stab of effort towards eventual settlement and colony status.
Early early game is getting water and oxygen and methane production operating. Early game is getting a method of manufacturing more solar panels on Mars along with molten oxide electrolysis refineries that spit out aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, and silicon. Late early game is in-situ food production (beyond the easy shit like a few trays of lettuce and some cherry tomato plants). Once we have all that stuff figured out, colonization is a matter of balancing resource streams and industrial growth in order to just increase everything over time.

You are choking on hopium. These astronauts did the regular exercise, and still have extensive mineral loss. Perhaps on Mars it wont be as fast, but we were not mean to exist in low gravity, simple as. Rotation habitats are necessary long term. And children cannot develop normally in these settings.

Opinion completely and utterly discarded. The most reasonable hypothesis for the shape of the curve when you plot general human health versus gravity strength looks like an upside down bathtub curve with a steeper slope on the greater-than-1G side than on the less-than-1G side. Being in 90% Earth gravity won't mean you have 90% the bone density etc, it will have nearly no effect. Being in 10% Earth gravity will likely mean significant physiological changes, because at that point things like blood viscosity start to become significant for how fluids move through the body. Somewhere between those values there will be a dropoff where, above that gravity level, humans are indistinguishable from Earth born and raised humans, and below that level obvious changes will be apparent.

No. If gravity is found to be that much of an issue, the only people living physically on Mars or the Moon will be adults who will only be there to operate the industries that supply resources to the orbiting habitats above their heads. Children would be born and raised on rotating habitats with wide open interior spaces. It's not worth putting spin gravity on the ground when you live on an object with such minimal launch constraints.
Of course this is no barrier to surface colonization of any object with low enough gravity to allow for a vertical living area, such as Ceres, where the gravity of the dwarf planet pulling at 90 degrees to the angle of the spin gravity makes you feel like you're living on a slight slope. That being said, having lower gravity also makes launch from Ceres even easier, so one could imagine living on surface spin habitats while overseeing the construction of more habitats which get launched into orbit wholesale via electromagnetic accelerators or a 1000 km long space elevator.

"Just as the body must adapt to spaceflight at the start of a mission, it must also readapt back to Earth's gravity field at the end," Robert Thirsk, a former University of Calgary chancellor and astronaut, said in the statement. "Fatigue, light-headedness, and imbalance were immediate challenges for me on my return. Bones and muscles take the longest to recover following spaceflight. But within a day of landing, I felt comfortable again as an Earthling."

>The same overpressure wave also forced the orbiter body flap – an extension on the orbiter's underbelly that helps to control pitch during reentry – into an angle well beyond the point where cracking or rupture of its hydraulic system would have been expected. Such damage would have made a controlled descent impossible, with John Young later admitting that had the crew known about this, they would have flown the shuttle up to a safe altitude and ejected, causing Columbia to be lost on the first flight. Young had reservations about ejection as a safe abort mode due to the fact that the SRBs were firing throughout the ejection window, but he justified taking this risk because, in his view, an inoperative body flap would have made landing and descent "extremely difficult if not impossible."

> The 'RD-701' is a two chamber engine. It can operate in two modes. In the first, it burns both kerosene and hydrogen, granting it greater thrust and impulse density, allowing for smaller, lighter tanks. In the second, it burns only hydrogen, allowing for greater specific impulse. The RD-701 has two preburners per combustion chamber, both of which run oxygen rich. One is used to pump kerosene and oxygen, the other is used to pump hydrogen and oxygen.
>In mode one, both burn kerosene. Liquid hydrogen is combined with kerosene and oxygen rich preburner exhaust in the combustion chamber. In this mode, it produces 4 MN of thrust, with a vacuum specific impulse of 415s, using 73.7 kg/s of kerosene, 29.5 kg/s of hydrogen, and 388.4 kg/s of oxygen.
>In mode two, the preburner used to pump kerosene is shut down, and the other is switched to burning hydrogen. A small amount of kerosene is still used to ensure oxygen is effectively atomised. Gases from the preburner combined with hydrogen in the combustion chamber. In this mode it burns 27.4 kg/s of hydrogen, and 148 kg/s of oxygen. Thrust reduces to 1.6 MN, and specific impulse increases to 460s

Stretchy Shuttle-C (far right and to the top) is my favourite non-flown rocket. It’s surprisingly conservative; it doesn’t require a total redesign of the shuttle ET like SLS did. It also reused the exact same engine section as the shuttle. Even better, the engine section was designed to be reusable like ULA’s SMART plan, or it could even deorbit from LEO.
The plan did combine some dev work. The boosters were extended to 5 segments, and the external tank was stretched too. But at least it didn’t require a total redesign like SLS did.
People have stated that even pessimistic estimates show Shuttle-C flying 5 years MAX after a green light. Wish we had this.

Other people argue that if they are spinning they can't keep the ass end of the Starship pointed at the Sun, which isn't an issue anyway because solar charged particle radiation follows magnetic field lines and don't just stream away from the Sun like a light ray.

NTP is only remotely good for cislunar space. Chemical propulsion is king for conjunction Mars transfers, SEP beats NEP to the main asteroid belt and Jupiter unless scaled up to the MW level where square kilometers of solar panels is untenable. Past that even the most retarded NEP design beats NTP since throosting for years isn't a concern and high Isp becomes the predominate factor.

It's good for scooting between any gas giant moon system, especially if you can get it to work with water propellant. Water in an NTP gets you hypergolic chemical rocket levels of Isp, which is totally fine for those low delta V worlds, but importantly it means your propellant IRSU energy needs are tiny and getting enough propellant to fill up your vehicle takes hours instead of months with a given power supply. More propellant faster means way higher launch frequency which means over a given span of time you get hundreds of times more payload up to orbit and back down if you're into that sort of thing.

Wacky design to have such small drop tanks. Seems like it would offer better performance to remove that middle in-line tank, have the truss section be twice as long, and put two more drop tanks on the truss. Actually if you are using the 4 sided star truss you could have 8 drop tanks total.

Why do people keep pushing the "NASA saved Spacex" BS? they only offered spacex the contract after spacex was in the clear after their successful 4th flight
They even had a successful 5th flight, and probably would have kept running falcon 1, or an upgraded falcon 1e version as the initially planned until they had enough money to develop falcon 9
