Assuming a nice estimate of 0.5N thrust, and a spacecraft mass of 750 kg (slightly more than the Voyagers) you could accelerate for 50 years and reach 0.3C. If you want to get to exactly the speed of light it would take you 14,269 years. Now if you got something like the hypothetical HDLT you would a) get more thrust and therefore more acceleration, and b) be able to scoop up fuel as you go. The thrust is tiny but also keep in mind moving at 0.3C is fast as fuck so...

Lets say you accelerated until the heatdeath of the universe as decades isn't that long.
You would build up speed to a decent chunk of C but your acceleration rate would be constantly dropping and if it took 100 years to get to 99% C it would take more like 1000 to get to 99.1% and a million years to get to 99.2% and so on.

A quick search found an interesting response to that question in the form of some guy running a program that tallied up all of the known payload weights, and it's around the ballpark of 14,800 tons. Assuming each Starship carries a full payload of 100 tones you'd need 147+ Starship flights. If there were three Starships flying at once, each one being flown once per day, it would take fifty days for Starship launches to account for that much tonnage.
If we use Elon's much more ambitious three flights a day, it would only take 16 days of Starship launching to double the total material launched into space in the entire recorded course of human spaceflight.

The reason SpaceX is getting so much done is it isn't being run to maximize profits, if that was the goal they would be ~20% more cost effective than Boeing / ULA to steal contracts and leave it that.

The only thing she is right about is that there's certainly a ridiculously enormous amount of money to be made in space for the first company/country to seize control of it. Once more efficient and powerful magnetoplasma drives hit the vacuum you can start looking at positive profit asteroid mining without half-decade timetables, and as soon as the heavy lift capability is there habitation in space will be able to rapidly expand without every kilogram costing two grand to send up, that opens up semi-permanent orbital habitation and space tourism as well as space manufacturing for the medical industry, etc.
I think large scale habitation will in the end be the most valuable thing space offers us though, I don't think it can be understated just how much humans are a species optimized to move apart. I think many of the social problems that plague us are the result of our movements being too constrained, while we naturally would just prefer to move away from conflict with people we don't like. Space gives humans the ultimate ability to move wherever we please.

You'd have a backpack or frontpack which would deploy an inflatable heat shield, a small ballute drogue to slow you down from supersonic to subsonic speeds without snapping your spine with whiplash, and then a normal parachute to set you (relatively) safely on the ground after you've slowed down to normal terminal velocity.

Yeah, next gen battery architectures could probably give a suit of powered armor maybe 6-8 hours of operation assuming the powerpack is the size of a backpack. PLSS would be super simple, perhaps even discardable very high pressure COPV containing breathing air, perhaps what you'd do is integrate it with the parachute, with the cooling system integrated into the battery pack to manage both the battery's heat and the user's. The front-pack would have to be affixed strongly but somehow also in a way that it can be easily removed after reentry so it can fall away once used.
One problem with HALO jumping into combat though is that parachutists are quite vulnerable to enemy fire for the time they're coming down, you'd also have to take measures to blind and decoy the enemy's AA if they have any, and if that fails your guys are going to start taking HMG/autocannon fire before they're on the ground.

Reminder to all you paranoid fucks.

Biden is NOT going to kill the space program. Space exploration is one of the very few things that both the left and right look to for inspiration. We're finally going back to the moon after 60 years of sitting on our asses. If Biden axes the Artemis program you will see his supporters, even the most bluepilled sheep, will TURN ON HIM LIKE FUCKING WOLVES.

He does not want to be the president known for condemning humanity to die on Earth wallowing in its own filth.

True, but Elon and SpaceX will never control all of space exploration. They're extremely focused on one goal, Mars, and there are other agencies companies and wealthy men who can do other stuff in space. Sure, SpaceX is dominating the launch market, but that's because no one else is trying.

If it can be proved that the Democrats substantially cheated in any organized kind of way, their current perspective win would be invalidated, perhaps even if they still had enough votes left over even without voter fraud (since it would reflect party-wide malevolant intent). There's also an extremely remote chane that the voter fraud was done in such a way that it tipped a lot of districts by narrow margins, and thus some of the states by narrow margins, and simply obliterating the fraudulent votes would completely flip several states, and the situation would simply be reversed with Trump in a narrow win and Biden missing too many states.
Or it could be that Trump was too contentious and COOF-10000 was just too miserable and people blame him for it and Biden really did just eek out a marginal win.
However the cards fall it will be a mess because with a 51/49 split in voters the next POTUS mandate will be extremely weak, and with a nearly-deadlocked house and marginally Republican senate nothing can get done outside of the Executive branch either.

Skydivers are not going to be reentering the atmosphere from orbital velocities, a HALO jump from actual orbit would. Even Baumgardner's stratospheric jump would only represent the last leg of a true orbital drop, and he did break the sound barrier while falling in a near-uncontrolled death spin which he luckily managed to control. And guess what, he did have a drogue chute to arrest supersonic flight but didn't deploy it because in addition to a height record he was also shooting for a speed record.
Coming down from orbit a real ODST is going to be falling in at least the high-supersonic regime, they will need to slow down enough with a smaller chute first to avoid a large chute either being destroyed by the force of opening or snapping the jumper's neck or spine by the force of opening.

Elon posting his crew-1 rocket and Jim retweeting it within 60 seconds.... i’m glad I have notifications on for both of them
Also glad to see Jim cares. He retweets elon’s shit immediately and usually takes a few hours to retweet ULA stuff (and a day or two to talk about boeing stuff lmao)

Starship isn't being build for that at all, it's only purpose is the land on Mars, and finish the Starlink grid, the lunar variant is just for selling them to NASA, and they'll act as space tugs to travel between LEO, and gateway/ the surface of the moon, they'll probably only make a handful of them if NASA buys them

2. Super Dracos use cancer juice and spicy orange, which can't be feasibly made with ISRU anywhere I don't think (fuck nitrogen compounds) (I guess you weren't wrong about that)

https://www.whiteeagleaerospace.com/the-hermes-ii-incident/

On Thursday, 29 May 1947, Hermes II was fired from Launch Complex 33 at White Sands Proving Ground. It was approximately 1930 hours local time. It is noted that the ramjet pack was not active for this first flight. The Hermes test vehicle was supposed to pitch to the north and fly uprange. Instead, it pitched to the south and backrange toward El Paso, Texas. Post-flight analysis revealed that the new inertial guidance system employed by the Hermes missile had been wired backwards! This human error directly and adversely affected rocket system reliability.

The WSPG Range Safety Officer(RSO) had both the authority and responsibility to hit the destruct button once it was obvious that the Hermes II was errant. However, a project scientist physically restrained the RSO from doing so! Apparently, the scientist was of the (evidently strong) opinion that the test vehicle’s propellant load should not be wasted on such trivial grounds as the safety of the El Paso populace. Unimpeded now, the errant rocket continued its flight. Range safety protocol would have to be improved and understood by all participants prior to the next flight!

The Hermes II reached a maximum altitude of 35 nm on its unplanned trip to the south. During its 5 -minute flight, the vehicle overflew the city of El Paso and impacted near the Tepeyac Cemetary located 3.5 miles south of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The quasi-Mach 1 impact formed a crater that measured 50 feet in width and 24 feet in depth. Enterprising local residents gathered what little airframe wreckage that survived impact and sold it to souvenir seekers!

United States Army authorities quickly arrived on scene to ascertain the extent of the damage caused by the errant missile’s unannounced and unwelcome arrival. Happily, no lives were lost. Profuse apologies were delivered to and graciously accepted by Mexican government officials. The United States paid for all damages and effected a complete clean-up and remediation of the impact site.

A member of the team of expatriated German scientists who conducted the Hermes II flight test later was quoted as saying: “We were the first German unit to not only infiltrate the United States, but to attack Mexico from US soil!” Not nearly so amused, the Army tightened-up range safety protocol at WSPG in the aftermath of the international incident. Interestingly, historical evidence points to the likelihood that the Hermes II vehicle never did carry an active ramjet payload on test flights out of WSPG.

From what I understand: at some point Elon talked about a raptor that was unstable. Idk if it was during a flight or a static fire or a test at McGregor- but he said it had a distinct noise in the 600Hz range. Anyways last time SN8 did its static fire there was a BRAAAAP at the end and everyone here and across the internet assumed it was this problem. Someone ran the audio from youtube in audacity and saw indeed it was in this range, and within that week SpaceX took one of the engines off and replaced it. So it was a broken engine
