It reminds me of Star Wars and it's extremely low effort. It's like a long form SNL skit. Despite its low effort it's still too much time and energy on a topic I don't care enough about. Maybe if I really REALLY hated Star Wars or REALLY loved Star Wars, I could handle a shitty movie-length parody.

Star Wars was always supposed to be an adventure movie with a space coat of paint over it, so I'm fine with it.
People whine about sound in space, but few notice how the ships move as if they were on air or water instead of space.
Curiously, the first movie mentions orbital mechanics when the Death Star is approaching Yavin IV, but that's about it.

Legends has involved black holes and the core worlds (i.e. Byss) are a lot harder to jump to because of the proximity to the galactic black hole or what not, so the writers actually kinda tried to give a shit back then.

iirc Hyperspace is supposedly another dimension with corresponding coordinates to the real world. Hyperdrives are basically just teleporters into another dimension.
It's also somewhat connected to gravity, since blackholes and more massive objects make it increasingly difficult to jump to hyperspace.
One explanation for the tracker system in the new movies was that it's basically an radar system permanently in hyperspace, which allows them to see any nearby objects which appear in the dimension. It's still not explained in the movies very well, so stick to the books and comics if you want an explanation for things

I can tell you without a doubt they didn’t care to explain it, if we’re just talking about the movies. I don’t expect them to either. As the other anon said: it’s just a space texture pack over a ‘hero’s journey’ story at its core. I’m sure the extended universe goes into it, and fags have compiled it on wookipedia.
Star Trek is a little more scientific about how they explain some things, but anything from TNG to ENT has had the problem of trying to be scientific while also not trying to retcon things established in TOS (i.e. “dilithium crystal” hand waiving instead of some other plausible mechanism) TOS was 60s schlock but it’s still good and everything up until ENT at least took a stab at approaching scientific stuff. On a surface level though. At its core even Trek is just a space texture pack slapped over “the human condition” storylines. Plus anything after ENT is gay as fuck and doesn’t care about science at all

Star Trek does have the disadvantage of running more into clichés with the series, it's probably impossible to count how many times the ship's core has been ejected across so many episodes. The movies are kind of OK, but don't really do justice to the whole thing
Star Trek has a lot more fun with some of the episodes, SW can't really do that with the movies
I remember one episode where the two aliens discovered smoking after having two cigs, then immediately ordered 500 more

His right forearm was amputated, his legs and left arm were broken and a hole was torn in the right side of his face.[151] Despite these critical injuries, Parsons was found conscious by the upstairs lodgers. He tried to communicate with the arriving ambulance workers, who rushed him to the Huntington Memorial Hospital, where he was declared dead approximately thirty-seven minutes after the explosion.

the ol' JPL mindset. If they made it to the lakes on the first mission then that wouldn't generate a good amount of JOBS and $$$, at least in the immediate future.

Imagine one day waking up and tuning in to the news just to learn that an asteroid has hit a very populated area and millions have died. Suddenly this bullshit of "fix earth first" will disappear and people will start taking space seriously.
Or, on the other hand, the pessimistic in me would consider the possibility of people thinking that because an asteroid impact has finally happened it means that, statistically, there is almost a zero chance of another one happening in a very long, long time. Therefore no need to focus on space ever again, let's just fix earth this time for real! ugh

Rather humorously, an encyclopedia of Soviet cosmonautics, published in 1970 at the direction of Valentin Glushko, a leading figure in the space industry, described the Proton simply as a launcher "of several stages and many engines". And the image of the Semyorka was so dominant that when experts finally saw the Proton launcher in its entirety in 1984 they misunderstood its first stage structure. They inferred it to be flanked by liquid-fueled boosters, whereas it was a distinct, but ingenious, concept in which six tanks of fuel were strapped around a central tank of oxidizer

I read the biography and supposedly he wasn't as somber, although I guess the movie revolves more about the loss of his daughter than it does the mission itself, which is fine with me since we already have the excellent "From the earth to the moon" chapter.
Regardless, the people that knew him said he had a good sense of humor, but he often didn't find the need to say anything or express his opinions, so he never spoke out of time. To him going to the moon was more like another day in the office than an epic adventure. He was the real Iceman.

For good reason too. If you are going to bother adding that much mass and drag for seperate tanks rather than enlarging your main 2, might as well have the ability to shed the mass rather than keep it for the entire first stage's burn time.
That extra tank wall mass and aerodynamic drag hampers the performance by much more than people realize. This stupid thing gets less than half of the payload to LEO than a Falcon 9 despite it's core stage being the same diameter, with a wider upper stage, just because of those stupid tanks.
They gave Vatniks the benefit of the doubt and assumed that Vatniks weren't fucking retarded then they got proven wrong.

The F-104 is such a beautiful aircraft. Modern engines make so much thrust that modern fighters are able to brute-force their way into being fast, but the F-104 had to actually tailor its design for speed, which is a lot cooler.

Also, the high accident rate is mostly because the Germans were actual retards and used it as a fighter problem. The Japanese and Italians didn't have particularly high accident rates.

The answer to this is no. The only thing they were capable of doing during the 1990s was selling off soviet hardware at firesale prices. That's also 95% of what they've been able to do in the decades sense. Most of their new innovations have just been modernized soviet designs with more advanced western components swapped in.

It's also an air-launched design. Those are never a good idea.

On this particular plan you had
-170 m/s of horizontal velocity
-10 km drop, so a good 100 m/s closer to orbital altitude
-directly low pressure helps for the isp
-higher or lower latitude launches depending on what you need (so ~200 m/s bonus compared to a mid-latitude Russian launch)

everything considered you’d need your Icbm with chutes to fall at Mach 2 to negate your advantage.

Yeah, but none of those were being tossed out of the back of a plane. They were all conventional launch system that had enviable track records from before the wall came down, or were already reliable weapons systems that were upgraded into launchers by adding slightly modified preexisting technology from other projects. The only truly new thing Russia's brought to the table in living memory has been the Angara and it's taken them almost thirty years to get it something resembling an operational flight rate. In the 1990s Russia inherited a lot of good tech that they brought to the market for cheap so their design bureaus wouldn't shut down completely. What they didn't have the funding needed to design a completely untested new launch system.

Because Cassini had RTGs on board and apparently that posed an unacceptable risk if the Titan IV it was riding blew up on launch or if it whiffed its Earth gravity assist maneuver and crashed into the planet. 33 kg of Plutonium dioxide, which would have led to a 0.0005% increase in the rate of cancer deaths over the following decade.

The soviets cobbled together a cuckball with an ejection seat and barely any life support systems and hucked it into space as a stunt. The spacecraft Laika rode in was arguably better engineered.

I'm not talking about the rocket I'm talking about the spacecraft, the surrounding support system, and the program as a whole. The R-7 was indeed very advanced for the time but the tradeoff was it allowed the soviet engineers to be way lazier about the spacecraft engineering, which bit them in the ass later in the 60s and 70s. That's why they ended up with the N1 just to put a single guy in a fucked up little deathtrap lander on the moon, while we had the Saturn 5 putting 3 guys in space and 2 on the moon.

t. Retarded faggot pulling shit out of his ass

The Vostok literally was more capable than thr Mercury, a lot to it being able to be more massive. It had more up mass, it could stay longer in space, it had a larger internal volume, it could be controlled both from the ground and manually by the cosmonaut, its life support system lasted longer etc

All Mercury had over it was being able to do water landings and better attitude control system.

And the problem with their lunar system was related to the absolute garbage TLI capability of the N1. It was like half the mass of Saturn V which forced them to shave off mass to the extreme. Had nothing to do with technology of the spacecrafts. If anything their lunar lander, the LK lunar lander was the biggest success in their lunar lander since it was the only piece of hardware that got fully certified for human spaceflight after several successful tests in earth orbit. The whole EVA in lunar orbit death stunt shit was entirely a result of the poor performance of the N1 and nothing to do with the spacecrafts.

Any fellow autist want to help me out? This website claims Mariner 10 took this upper atmosphere photo of Venus, but I literally cannot find this photo anywhere else

Yeah same here. I think it did a ton of imaging of Venus but no matter how much I try to look into it I can only find this one, and a ‘modern processed’ equivalent. But nothing else
Where does NASA keep all its original data aaaagghhhhh

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 28 04:55:31 2022 No.15082368 >>15082356 Trust me, it's fucking ASS to find raw images from NASA. They are usually scattered through various websites, usually stuff that looks like it's from 2005, and there is no easy way to find them.

>>15082368
That’s what I expected lol. I just found the raw Mariner data stored directly from the tapes and converted to CD-WO. I’m going to take a crack at trying to reprocess old NASA image data sometime this weekend but I have a very basic understanding on how to do it

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 28 05:07:25 2022 No.15082388 >>15082375 I wish they gave a shit on making raw images easier to find, but I guess they don't expect non-researchers to care about it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 28 05:12:44 2022 No.15082398 >>15082388 I know. You’d think at some point they would at least go back through their catalog of old missions and offer an easier way to extract the data. But oh well. It’s low on the priorities I guess lol

Oh sweet. Thank you. Early soviet/american solar system missions are so fucking cool. Every piece of hardware is so interesting, especially the cameras. The way those old probes actually took photos, stored them, and transmitted them all on a mass budget with oldschool technology is fascinating

This ended up being the closest i could find. Had a similar description under the image.
>Haze layers on the limb of Venus were Photographed by Mariner 10 in orange light. The thickness of the haze above the clouds is about 6 kilometers and appears to cover the entire planet. Three or perhaps four layers appear on this narrow angle frame taken near the equator 15 minuets after closest approach to Venus on February 5. The Three black dots in the lowest haze layer are used for corrections for geometric distortion on the television camera.

Interesting fact I learned while searching is that Mariner 10 had sent back a total of 4165 images of Venus.
