>When I said goodbye to SN8 I felt like a proud parent watching your kid go off to college. When I say goodbye to this Starship I feel like a parent of centuries’ past saying “farewell” as his child embarks for the new world. To some people that may sound like I’m stretching a point. A starship is not a child it’s a machine and a machine doesn’t have a soul. We may yell at our toasters and give names to our cars but at the end a Starship is just a collection of wires and circuits and stainless steel. I don’t know. I think each Starship does have a soul. It’s the soul of all the people who built her. Designed her. First dreamed of her.

ITS 2016 is the most kino because I remember touring SpaceX right after the presentation (December 2016) and I asked my host a billion questions about that he vehicle.

Propulsion systems and powerplants. I'd poach people from flagging molten salt reactor teams, 3D modelers, machine and tool experts, as well as anybody with an even remotely plausible high thrust magnetoplasma engine concept, I'd find as many plasma physicists as possible and offer them double whatever shitty university salaries they were making and millions of dollars worth of bleeding edge software and equipment to figure out as quickly and decisively as possible which concepts work, which don't, and how to get them as powerful and efficient as possible.
Same for the MSR teams, I'd pay them to work around the clock in three rotations of eight hour shifts to make their reactors as small, as simple, and as light as humanly possible, and task the modelers and machinists to build them.
I'd spend the rest of my money on investing to make even more money and lobbying to ensure that the g*vernment sits the fuck down and shuts the fuck up.

Shuttle was cheaper per launch than the SLS you colossal retard.
Shuttle was also the first of its kind and a path finder, SLS is Saturn V but all the components already exist.
The Soviets improved the Shuttle a lot, the US should have either done Shuttle 2.0 or gone all in into the commercial program. Instead there now is an inbred jobs program and a baby's first commercial program.

False, the magnetic field is what interacts with the solar wind to produce thrust
https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20050182010/downloads/20050182010.pdf
>"The plasma sail produces thrust for the spacecraft by absorbing momentum from the hypersonic solar wind. Coupling to the solar wind is accomplished through a magnetic bubble created by injecting plasma into a magnetic field generated by solenoid coils located on the spacecraft."
It does not mention that physical contact with the coil is necessary, the power requirements are something to be addressed though

Is it not strange to you guys that China has independently reached space? They've already docked with a space station and they are about to build a big ass one soon.

Crew Dreamchaser is great, it launches without a fairing and is fully reusable if the rocket it rides on is. Cargo Dreamchaser is kind of a meme, with an expendable trunk and riding up in a fairing. It would've been better as an integral-propulsion spaceplane robot shell for a Cygnus Pressurized Cargo Module or another space shipping container, to increase max payload weight and provide downmass capability.

Hydrolox SSTO spaceplanes without SRBs are gayer than a pre-HIV bathhouse in San Francisco across the street from an Apple store because the dry mass penalties are so bad. The mass budget was literally impossible, and even if it HAD worked it would've been like 30 tons to LEO, at best. Meanwhile Falcon Heavy can yeet large satellites directly into GEO with fucking gas generator RP-1 engines, complete with an F-1 style exhaust duct wrapping around the bell on the MVac, because they don't have to chase the Isp unicorn.

Here's an argument for you then: the space shuttle cost on average $450 million per mission, according to NASA. It had comparable payload capacity to the Falcon nine, but cost far more per kilogram of payload, and was exceedingly dangerous. Now I know it was made with older technology, but the risk of the shuttle program combined with the cost were just not justifiable, even in the 1980s.

Lighting with LEDs is like 18% efficient, but I’m not sure how light from the sun would affect the ship or if it’ll get used. You can measure the mAh of the devices you use, there’s USB monitors so it’s not a lot of energy usage.
Heating and cooling is expensive but some heat can be recycled from waste energy.

Venture Star literally only got 20 tons to LEO on paper, meaning even if they did somehow manage to hit all of their impossible dry mass and engine performance goals, what we would have got out of it was just a Falcon 9 that couldn't send even one kilogram beyond LEO.

>I wonder why they didn't choose SpaceX.
I don't know either. Yeah Starlink is a competitor BUT Telesat is funded by the Canadian government, so it's not like they're going to go out of business by using SpaceX launchers. Maybe Blue Origin gave them a stupid good deal? Either way they can afford to wait two years since they're government backed. A commercial competitor that isn't state-backed like Telesat and OneWeb would probably launch on SpaceX then switch to BO later.

California is looking at doing something similar so the two states will try to out retard each other with destructive virtue signaling. If Oregon gets in on the act, you can be guaranteed that all three will not only pass anti-wealth laws but they'll make them as destructive as possible to appear more progressive than the other coastal states.

Canada, the UK/India, and China are working on their own megaconstellations. The EU wants one too now. The thing is that megaconstellations are quickly becoming something of a national security/global competitiveness issue, so expect a few more countries to want their own local versions. The only thing we have to worry about is conjunction events...aka collisions in space.

Not just Iran, even friggin Afghanistan used to be more modern. The Islamists got propped up by the CIA since they were easier to trick into doing America's bidding, whether that was fighting the Soviets or not nationalizing oil supplies. Trump promoting domestic oil production was unironically the biggest driver of mideast peace, since without needing oil the ROI for maintaining a military presence there was awful.

Plasma magnet sail probes can use Neptune's magnetosphere to brake and capture since the solar wind is so weak at Neptune's orbit.

They absolutely did, when the Africans were being imported as slaves. Men at the time didn't think the mother contributed to the inheritance of a child. Look at ancient pictures of upper class Greeks and Romans, they're distinctly pale. Darker skin and curlier hair only comes from one place, genetically.

So you're telling me scottish people have curly hair because they're black? You're a retard.

Because they spent much more time inside retard, look at southern europeans today, if they spend most of their time inside they will be pale skinned.

Its just how the human body works. More sunlight = darker skin. Your entire argument is wrong in the first place because very few (if any) subsaharan africans ever made it into southern europe.

Oh neat, Vulcan is on a boat headed to KSC now. We might actually get Starship, Vulcan-Centaur, and SLS all into orbit by next year.

I love SpaceX but I'd take a job with ULA working aboard the rocket boats. That's such a maximally comfy setup, a small ship cruising subtropical rivers and inland seas with a rocket in the hold, and occasionally visiting California via the Panama Canal for a Vandy launch.

Sadly for my rocket sailing fantasies Starship is going to obsolete the rocket boats when it can hop itself from Boca to whatever launch site is needed.

Indians have some indo european genetics due to the Indo-Aryan migration, But they are mostly native Indian genetically.

No it isn't, its just the way non historically minded people connect the indo european peoples.

Which is a shame because the retards see this as encouragement to make more premature threads in the future. Which contributes to the mentality that this is a general first and about spaceflight second. Which means more politics and other derails.
