How did SpaceX get last minute transport by military C-130 for its final Falcon 1 test vehicle?

Seems like an unfair bailout/handout by the government to a private company.

I've got something I need to get off my chest. Last summer, I interned at a space company. It was a dream come true and the best time of my life. This time around though, I wasn't picked to go back and none of the other companies I tried had any interest. The reason is almost certainty that my GPA had a big drop. It wasn't spectacular before, so it's really awful now.

In a few days, I'm going to travel to the non-space related internship I managed to find. I'm very thankful to have it and I'm really looking forward to it, but at the same time I'm really depressed about things. I'm so worried that my chance to work with roggets is gone and I'm now doomed to spend a career engineering cheese slicing harps, dumpsters, and HVAC systems.

Yes. Space is an abstract notion for you, not reality. Not somewhere you actually consider humanity's future domain.
For you, the prospect of colonizing space is like a child being told that their first day at school is coming up soon. Children hear about this strange thing called "school" and it it intriguing, conceptually, but as the day and moment grow nearer to leave home, leave safety, they begin to squirm and invent more and more desperate excuses to avoid committing to the inevitable. Like all other earthers, you're a child in mind.

For me, it's Dysnomia. I wanna see that son of a bitch like you wouldn't believe. Maybe once Starship is operational they could send swarms of probes to each of those bodies for an affordable price (and put JPL out of business). Or instead of sending more mass, just bring more fuel to slow down and enter orbit or land. The question is who will pay for that. Even at this price and capability, space agencies all around the world still think in oldspace terms. They'll find a way to waste that capacity. Someone rich, like Maezawa did with his Moon trip, paying for this kind of missions and SpaceX building the probes themselves, and offering that service to everyone, would be cool.

>our expectations are that a magnet placed near the nose of the vehicle will increase the bow shock stand-off distance, substantially decrease stagnation point heat flux, and considerably mitigate the TPS requirements for such missions.

If they can scale kilopower down to 2KW and condense it so that it can fit inside a Starship nosecone and not disrupt the methane in the header tanks, then yes; it could benefit. As that's one potential option.
Interestingly enough, the concept of leveraging magnetic fields is literally how the early concept of "shields" in Star Trek Enterprise (with the NX-01) worked. The hull had emitters along its length, and by using power from the warp core, they could create polarity fields just above the material surface by manipulating magnetic fields--that way when incoming fire hit the hull, some of the energy would be ablated without touching the armor/ship hull material.
In theory, this could work if the Starship's size is extended by say another 3 meters aka a full ring segment, and then instead of the header tank being all the way at the top, its located 3 meters down from the nose, and the upper 3 meter segment is populated by a sterling kilopower reactor; maybe even a full 10KW version. You could then run radiators down the length of the ship windward side for the excess heat bleed off and simultaneously run water channels near there, so that you can have hot water onboard the starship for cooking, showers, medical (disinfection in case of injury), and cleaning clothes.
The only downside of this design is that KiloPower reactors can't scale for dick when it comes to mass production. SpaceX wants to launch upwards of a thousand ships every 2 years during the Mars transfer window. Realistically, they'll probably only get to like 1-500 over the next 10-20 years, but even then, building say 100 KiloPower reactors would be quite difficult; mainly because the nuclear regulatory commission would find a way to fuck that up.

I mean you could, but it would be best to do a KiloPower method, as that is continuous power generation over say a 10 year period. That in turn would benefit the reuse of the Starship. 10KW of energy is quite a bit of energy.

>Kilopower is a small, lightweight fission power system capable of providing up to 10 kilowatts of electrical power - enough to run several average households - continuously for at least 10 years.
Sauce: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/demonstration-proves-nuclear-fission-system-can-provide-space-exploration-power

I would imagine that the goal of SpaceX is to get arguably up to 100 uses per ship before the version of the vehicle is retired. A battery would be fine, but having a ship generate the power equivalent to several households for a long duration mission is immensely valuable; as that ship then becomes a mobile base out to nearly ANYWHERE in the solar system. You can now plant a ship on the dark side of Mercury, bam mobile base with power to self sustain itself. On either of Mars' moons. Mobile bases. On Ceres in the belt, mobile bases. Out to Europa, Io, Pluto, Charon, Titan, mobile bases. Further, by going the KiloPower root (again if the scalability problem is solved and not impeded by the NRC, and SpaceX were to adopt this design idea), if you then say plant 10 ships on Mars all with this, you could then couple them together into a single grid, generation 100KW of energy for Mars. 100 ships and you get 1MW of energy. 1000 ships say over a 10 year period and you'd get 100MW of energy on Mars, independent of any solar panels and wind based energy generation.

>1MW of solar power generates enough electricity to meet the needs of 164 U.S. homes. 100MW... to power 16,400 U.S. homes

We are already in effect sacrificing our current lives for better future.

More importantly, whats the limit to which humanity can extend their ethical questions about the nature of future existence?

Small brains have very short limit to future. This is why criminals often partake in opportunistic actions because they dont consider the future risk. Poor people often spend excess money as they come, the term "hood rich" comes to mind where by the money you earned it spent quickly on showing off your status. The long term investors in companies have a much higher depth of understanding about the nature of future and value it brings. Thus their IQs are higher, they make more money, etc.

Wild guess: a low gravity planet with enough atmosphere to have wind could expel objects into orbit or even out of its gravity well. Perhaps a volcanic planet would be able to generate enough atmosphere for it to work even with the low gravity letting the atmosphere dissipate out into space or burnt of by solar wind.

Unless I'm mistaken, average molecular velocity of a gas should always be higher than any wind that could naturally arise in an atmosphere composed of that gas. So regardless of equilibrium, the atmosphere in question would rapidly fuck off into space on any planetary body with a low enough gravity that wind could eject something into orbit.

The more subscribers they get, the more money they offset. The fact that they're near parity in paying off their network launch + customer base means it will take ~1-2+ years to pay off their launch network after they stop launching this shell.

If Starlink2 launches, their subscriber capacity rate will increase further creating an even faster net zero ROI.

The point wasn't to put "guardians" in space, it was to create a separate branch where Congress could send money for space priorities and not have most of it skimmed off for the Air Force's pet projects. Space is an important theater that needs individual attention by people dedicated to the task who aren't in the chain of command with those with different (Air Force) priorities.

The Air Force doesn't have aircraft exclusively but the Navy also doesn't have boats exclusively. The Air Force does have a lot of aircraft that aren't connected to naval operations and thus are of little interest to the Navy leadership. As far as nukes goes, yes, it's a good thing to have control centralized in one branch. Even the nuclear missiles on Navy submarines are on loan from the Air Force and have to comply with Air Force rules.

The reason Artemis keep going is because of sunk cost fallacy

Come on, I obviously meant not reusable YET. It took a while to retrieve F9 and the landing pad/barge were expendable.
Starship is considerably heavier, it require a non-expendable launch/catching tower, many more engines need to be monitored and it have to work flawlessly to avoid exploding the 2nd stage when you are trying to make it reusable.
I still consider it easier than making the 2nd stage reusable & safe.

Hasn't this been pretty much confirmed? The Obama admin didn't want to keep going with Constellation but needed to sign off on something to make it look like US spaceflight was still progressing somewhere while committing as little as possible. Similar to the Nixon admin and the Shuttle

The problem run deep, no POTUS want to be the one who kill the "Moon rocket" (used to be Mars rocket) or be seen destroying space job for a new (unproven) project until they have popular support. And few people know how bad Artemis is unless they had F9, or Starship humiliating every national space agency.
Obama had the good idea of increasing subsidize for private company until one of them made the breakthrough NASA was institutionally incapable of producing anymore.

Dude, it's absolutely true. The event in Ukraine would change drastically if SpaceX failed.
The US would be in an pretty bad position if they didn't have a new way to launch manned mission to the ISS without being so reliant on Russian Soyuz.
There's also Starlink providing comm network in the middle of nowhere after all infrastructure broke down.

Ukraine was also providing rockets part and their big Antonov to transport fragile equipment in a big pressurized bay.

That was a heavily stripped down Orion with no life support systems or service module and very little in common with the actual production model. The only thing that test accomplished was proving the aerodynamic shape and heatshield for Orion can survive re-entry from lunar speeds

Well, Starship is already getting a lot of attention from the media and at best we're still a few months away from launch.

Gwynne thinks they'll get on average of about 25 flights per core stage before they see serious wear and tear on the booster. They have a fleet of about 13-14 F9 cores not related to FH on hand. Which averages out to 325-350 total flights they can keep working through over the next 5 years in all incoming payload missions. They have a ton of breathing room and solid profit margins per launch baked into their fleet. The only reason I can see them raising another $1.75Bn in funding is to prep for some of the FH core booster losses, and also to get Starship Cargo variant through the door to be able to launch Gen2 Starlink satellites which are reportedly capable of 300Gbps in bandwidth, up from 30Gbps, and are also much heavier so the the F9 upmass with them drops by half to like 1/4th current capacity.

>30 Gbps
>53 sats per launch
So currently Each launch is adding 1590 Gbps of bandwidth to the constellation. How is Gen 2 going to change that(absent Starship launches)?
>300 Gbps
>10 sats per launch (1600kg*10 = 16000kg payload)
Ok, so that increases the bandwidth to 3000 Gbps per launch, still about doubling it.

Starlink couldn't have any cams, the lenses would shine too much light and would break the agreement that SpaceX has with telescope light pollution.
Likely some geostationary telescope system would be useful, would drastically increase response time with natural disasters.

It will likely be 720p if it's a NASA stream, since having a high quality stream camera doesn't really have an scientific value, and they probably don't feel like replacing a 2k-4k camera if it goes dead due to more delicate components.
If we get a 4k cam in lunar orbit it'll probably be from a commercial company

LEO constellations of smaller but much cheaper imagery sats is the better option, such as the ones being built by Maxar, Planet Labs, and BlackSky. Those three companies just won a multibillion dollar contract from the National Reconnaissance Office.

A larger diameter mirror wouldn't address atmospheric turbulence.
>The angular resolution is diminished due to the atmospheric turbulence. For a 4 m telescope, atmospheric distortion degrades the spatial resolution by more than one order of magnitude compared to the diffraction limit, and the intensity at the center of the star image is lowered by a factor of 100 or more. Even at the best astronomical sites, ground-based telescopes observing at visible wavelengths cannot, because of atmospheric turbulence alone, achieve an angular resolution better than telescopes of about 20 cm diameter.

Crew-5 is launching in October, so that's one port taken for the duration. CRS-26 is also launching in October but cargo dragons only stay docked for about a month so that port is free sometime in November. November is six months out from right now, which lines up with the review period Boeing wanted to have. The only other dragon flight on the manifest is Polaris 2 and that's not going to the station. So, CFT is probably late November or maybe early December.

https://www.space.com/boeing-satellite-constellation-fcc-approval
>Nov 4, 2021: Boeing gets FCC approval for 147-satellite constellation. They have until 2027 to begin building the new broadband constellation.
>The FCC also rejected Boeing's proposal to delay its launch plans beyond typical standards of 50% completion by 2027 and full launch 2030. The commission said Boeing did not provide adequate justification as to why it plans to launch the full system in 12 years, which would require a waiver of the typical FCC requirement. But the FCC said it is open to more discussion on that point in future applications.

No. All the remaining Atlas V boosters are needed for the contracted NASA crew flights. If they wanted to do more, they'd need to crew rate Vulcan and they've shown less than zero interest in doing that. Even if they did Starliner still costs twice what a crew dragon flight would, so they've got about as much chance of wooing commercial customers as Soyuz.

If crew Dreamchaser ever actually happens. The cargo verson's limped along for years on self-funding, but I don't know if SNC is ever going to have the cash to finish the crew version on their own. Designing a crewed spacecraft still seems to be something you need government development funds to complete.

Boeing seems content to write off commercial spaceflight as irrelevant like it's still 2010, but they'll probably shell out to crew rate Vulcan after Starliner-6 because they see the reasonable chance of a profit with Starliner-7 through 10.
