I hold no real affection towards the DCX. It's just an easy counter-example to the boneheaded claim that only BO and SpaceX have propulsively landed a toy rocket and somehow Europe has joined some new prestigious club with FROGS. Europe, in this case mostly France, suffers from similar old-aerospace issue as the US. France has the engineering expertise, but Arianespace and Dassault have gotten bloated and complacent on government pork. I'm hoping to see more European startups over the coming years.

Reading Elon's Twitter is like watching a child go through puberty. A few years ago it was the weed jokes, then came the potty humour (usually precedes the others, but close enough), now we're in the edgy /pol/tard phase. We can only hope he quickly outgrows this as well, but as an actual adult he can't just blame it all on "follies of the youth haha" once he realises what a retard he's being.

Let me put this in a way you can understand:
Your error is in thinking that Musk is anything like a normal person. He is not, he is born into unbelievable wealth and resources. He looks at the general population like cattle, useful idiots to achieve what he actually wants. You should not pay attention to him posturing: For all we know, he could be trying to partner and gain the blessing of Trump to continue onwards with Peter Thiel to succeed the so called "Trump-revolution."
The point is that you shouldn't give a shit about what these men are doing, because they plan so far beyond the eye can see. Injecting your politics (and probably projecting imo) is not a good way of looking at what Elon Musk is doing, because he is fundamentally NOT like you or I. There is no american dream, every successful faggot ever is born into something, with the exception being incomprehensible genius.

On what level of cognitive dissonance do you have to be on to type this kind of shit. Elon is popular because he is seemingly the only billionaire who entertains the culture of the plebs meanwhile the elite of the last 50 years are either blood thirsty warmongers killing rural poor for sport, pedophiles, or Foucalt readers. Just by virtue of spending his wealth doing something half decent for the long term Elon is morally above his peers but apparently because he doesn't follow the philosophy of a french kiddie diddler he is evil and not to be trusted.

I do not claim they are smart or ubermen, but that men like Elon Musk are raised and conditioned to live as a billionaire, the ultra-rich- they are highly aware of what they do in public. Their success is also highly tied to being born into resources and wealth, though there is exception and I do think that Musk's engineering expertise, managerial skills, and ambition are built off his own intellect. I think this was a mis-communication, because I don't disagree with the rest.

It knows this because it know when it isn't. By subtracting when it is from when it isn't, or when it isn't from when it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the rocket from a time when it is to a time when it isn't and, arriving at a time when it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the time when it is, is now the time that it wasn't, and it follows that the time that it was is now the time that it isn't. In the event that the time that it is in is not the time that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation; the variation being the difference between when the rocket is and when it isn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it, too, may be corrected by the GEA. However, the rocket must also know when it was. The rocket guidance computer scenario works as follows: because a variation has modified some of the information the rocket has obtained, it is not sure just when it is, however it is sure when it isn't, within reason, and it knows when it was. It now subtracts when it should be from when it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of when it shouldn't be and when it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

>A SpaceX flight attendant said Elon Musk exposed himself and propositioned her for sex, documents show. The company paid $250,000 for her silence.
>The flight attendant told her friend that the billionaire SpaceX and Tesla founder asked her to come to his room during a flight in late 2016 "for a full body massage," the declaration says. When she arrived, the attendant found that Musk "was completely naked except for a sheet covering the lower half of his body." During the massage, the declaration says, Musk "exposed his genitals" and then "touched her and offered to buy her a horse if she would 'do more,' referring to the performance of sex acts."
>"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the friend said, describing the allegations.
>After she reported the incident to SpaceX, Musk's company paid her $250,000 as part of a severance agreement.

No Starship is just cheap, even if expended. It's exactly the type of vehicle you'd want to send on missions that take years. A 20 billion dollar NTR doing interplanetary missions would be an absurd waste of money. The only reasonable argument you could make is that it would be a cislunar tug but the extra performance wouldn't justify the cost unless you can come up with a time sensitive high delta-v cislunar maneuver that is actually useful and cannot be done by chemical propulsion. What maneuver is that?

Out of the box thinking yet you get your ideas directly from whatever soi ridden science fiction media you consume, sad! Stealing a satellite would be an act of war and space warfare will be fought from a distance. The DARPA explanation is that they want nuclear thermal for satellites designed to make quick and large delta-v maneuvers to reposition, which is a more reasonable explanation, but that could easily be done by multistage chemical satellites at a far lower cost, plus they wouldn't need to use LH2 so no major boiloff issues or heavy tank insulation.

This craft cannot complete a single mission without some major system failure.

In what way? I mean beyond that you're wrong and you have no other argument so you're projecting. I said multistage because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that NTP would have greatly improved delta-v despite that the claim is very contested and the limited research on the subject indicates that the dry mass would be so bad a NTP stage would have about the same performance of a hydrolox upper. Not only could Space Force or whoever make a chemical military satellite with more delta-v than any stageless NTP satellite but it would have much more thrust. The same thing goes for cislunar tugs or your retarded close combat space pirate fantasies.

She's the only one that's outwardly a SJW space reporter.

literally just the one anti-spaceplane autist despite spaceplanes being the best idea for LEO travel

he will seethe so hard when DreamChaser launches next year, berths, delivers cargo, astronauts take pics inside it, etc and returns to Earth for a landing at the Kennedy runway to a crowd of thousands and over 100,000 live viewers because spaceplanes are cool

SNC ended up getting the same amount of money for CRS-2 as SpaceX got for CCtCap despite that it should have been much easier to make a non-crewed spacecraft. It's now been 12 years, they haven't completed their orbital prototype and the design is so pathetic that it needs a capsule to tow it around space. However it could be worse, DC could have won CCtCap over SpaceX and NASA would still be reliant on Soyuz.
