There were a total of 186 orbital launches in 2022.

Let's be conservative and assume "hundreds of launches" to mean "at least 200". That gives us 200*12=10400 launches a year.

Even if we then redefine this to mean "launching 10400 F9-equivalent payloads a year" (let's say 10400 launches of 15000 kg per launch=156 000 000 kilograms to LEO per year)...

That's 1560 Starship launches per year or 4+ Starship launches a day.

I doubt even the most underage b& of us will live to see even a quarter of that (i.e., 1 Starship/day).

>The first major claim of another moon of Earth was made by French astronomer Frédéric Petit, director of the Toulouse Observatory, who in 1846 announced that he had discovered a second moon in an elliptical orbit around Earth.
>Petit proposed that this second moon had an elliptical orbit, a period of 2 hours 44 minutes, with 3,570 km (2,220 mi) apogee and 11.4 km (7.1 mi) perigee. This claim was soon dismissed by his peers. The 11.4 km (37,000 ft) perigee is similar to the cruising altitude of most modern airliners, and within Earth's atmosphere.

that is a complete non sequitur
first you were talking about scientists, now you are talking about above average reproducing people
by "average" I of course assumed all non-scientists, which would include engineers and so on
above average intelligence people will filter out to extra-terrestrial colonies naturally as average and below average won't either have enough money or skills to go
but who knows if the current culture in the west survives long enough for colonies to start, maybe they will insist that there have to be some kind of quotas on the colonies regarding different ethnicities/races and if that is just random idiots and not the right of their respective sub-population bell curves, then perhaps my assumption won't hold

Ignore the requirement for contractors to be in certain states and use certain contractors, re-compete everything starting from the slowest and most incompetent contractors, use fixed cost contracts, have incentives for early completion of milestones (these have to of course have clauses that the stuff works)
look at how much components can be actually be done with general COTS instead of aerospace grade components (hopefully the contractors will do this themselves if there is a fixed price contract), encourage hardware rich development

Northrop also contracted with SpaceX for 3 Falcon 9 launches.[19]

The first stage will have 7 Miranda

But will it be able to compete?

say you want to orbit the moon with the least amount of delta v to get there, least amount if station-keeping/upkeep to stay there, and constant direct comms with Earth. nrho is where you'd go. it is not inherently necessary for landings however, despite what anyone says. in fact it's detrimental if you only care about delta v. desu nrho was probably picked because orion is too fat and sls block 1 is too weak to get to LLO. but you need to do vastly more stationkeeping in LLO if you want a station there. artemis program didnt exist until after gateway, and gateway as a program was formulated to get international partners entrenched in a deep space station, which is harder program to cancel, and more palletable to other nations than new moon landings. Gateway is just ISS 2.0 with only fringe benefits. but using nrho makes it easier for all existing rockets and spacecraft to reach it

yes that's analagous to how ISS was sold to the public. ISS would be a testbed to learn how to live and work and manufacture in space for long periods before we go back to the moon/mars. gateway was almost the same thing but replace space with "deep space". the only thing you can learn at gateway that you cant learn in LEO is how irradiated you can get. before Trump/Pence and Artemis, Gateway was going to be THE only destination for SLS/Orion. Moon missions were not preferred.

what does electric landing mechanism even mean in this case?
this seems like investor bait

> Tehiru is developing a reusable air-launched rocket that will be capable of carrying 550-kilogram payloads to low Earth orbit. The company has stated this it is working on an “innovative electric landing mechanism” that will be used to recover the rocket following a launch. Tehiru projects that it will be capable of reusing its rocket up to 50 times.

> Until recently, Pangea Aerospace had been developing a small launch vehicle called Meso. The vehicle was to be capable of deploying 400-kilogram payloads into low Earth orbit with a maiden flight targeted for 2024.

>However, the company has pivoted to focus on supplying propulsion systems both for rockets and for in-space applications. According to the company, it aims to “generate more than €300M annually by 2030 with these types of services and products.”

>In addition to ARCOS, Pangea is also currently working on its U-NYX bipropellant thruster. The thruster is capable of producing up to 1N of thrust and the company plans to offer it as an ideal solution for small satellite propulsion. The company recently began a test campaign for the thruster.

Gateway is not necessary for any of what you listed. It wastes payload mass to stop at Gateway, it is not necessary for science return and probably inhibits it (see ISS), and it doesnt help other nations to do anything. They can participate in Lunar missions without the Gateway, and they are. Gateway is more of a political and diplomatic effort than anything. It mirrors the ISS program in structure, and will be about as effectual

Not blowing up the pad is a partial success because it means they can fly more developed boosters with much higher chances of success. They're still quite a bit away from being able to regularly fly it, and the next stages of testing will be more important than this one. I would almost rather see it blow up immediately and miraculously not damage anything than have it fly perfectly but obliterate the launch pad. Almost, of course, because the latter option bodes far better for Starship going into the future.

If it gets to stage separation then I would consider it a clear success, since whether Superheavy actually works is really the only remaining question about Starship unrelated to reusability and a failure after that point would be more due to SpaceX's inattention to that element of the flight than any fundamental issues with the rocket.

lol, I used to sperg more often to almost anyone about spaceflight, SpaceX, Musk, etc. It was mainly lots of "ok", "cool, I guess", not that many are interested in it, nothing to be done about it, it's okay. Unfortunately there's this common notion of anything related to space being a waste of money or resources, or how often conspiracy theories are brought up, though I suppose it's the same everywhere.

That blanket is to stop thermal conductivity. When the TPS gets hot because of the infrared radiation of the plasma , the tile gets hot on one side and its cold on the other , but as reentry progreses, the "back" of the tile gets super hot too, so they use a thermal blanket to keep that heat away from the metal.

> Far Rider is a fully space-adapted Ouster angel described in the novella Orphans of the Helix. He was almost four meters tall. His mouth looked like no more than a gap, and it was sealed from the world by a layer of forcefield and clear skin plasma.[1] His body was described as waxy, with huge eyeshields like an insect’s. He could feed on light, and collected enough energy to deploy electromagnetic solar wings hundreds of kilometers wide. He recycled his own air, waste and water, and was adapted to the extreme cold, heat, and radiation of the hard vacuum.

>This company [North American-Rockwell] also gained an edge [In the Space Shuttle Orbiter construction contract] through its approach to minority hiring. A confrontation with black employees in 1969 had left North American determined to take the lead in promoting equal opportunity, and in 1972 this firm had more blacks, Hispanics, and Asians than any of the three competitors. NASA viewed this as advantageous, for as McCurdy put it, “We’re not crusaders for civil rights. But the fact that North American moved forward on this front tells us something about how the company is thinking ahead.”

It is, though. Your brain can change without erasing your consciousness, which means that at some level your consciousness can be expressed by different things. If it's able to adapt to new computerized parts at each step, then it will be expressed by those parts even when your organic brain is totally replaced.

Of course this holds only if there is no one part of your brain responsible for you being consciousness.

There are people who believe consciousness as a unitary single "thing", like a car/apple/a piece of dollar/a coin/etc, but they are ignoring the compound effect of all phenomenas. The consciousness isn't a "thing" its a compound expression. Like the notion of a "human" is a compound phenomena made up of compound functions of the body incombination with social structure of the society in combination with linguistic tradition.

So consciousness can be expressed by different material as long as functionalities remain.

Two engines not firing isn't enough to cause an abort. Without a payload I think it can make orbit with as few as 28 engines, although below 30 is definitely risking going Astra. They also knew the engines were questionable before firing and made the decision to shut them down then go ahead with the static fire anyway, which is very different from them just not starting.

Replace the EUS with a 2 RVac upper stage of proportionally sensible mass. This one's not reusable and it's made of aluminum with stringers for ultralightweight dry mass.
Develop both a very large fairing and an Orion adapter cone, either one of which can be mounted to the front of stage 2.
Total development budget $2 billion, awarded to SpaceX on a milestone based firm contract.
Total cost/launch minus payload/capsule price targeted at $100 million. Launch cadence is minimum 1/month sustained with surge capacity for 3/month.
If SpaceX can build and launch it for $20 million, good for them, every launch is $80m in the bank.

This has always been a retarded argument. Being reactive to the launch market of the current year doesn't work when it takes a decade to develop anything new. Create the better rocket and the market will materialize, stop whining about your poor wagies who won't have anything to toil over if you make reusable rockets

The Soyuz and Proton both had pretty horrific teething phases. If they had kept with it one of the next N-1s off the line would have had a good chance of working. The N-1F and N-1U designs were regarded in retrospect as being pretty technically solid, but with the moon race over there really wasn't any point to it. The Proton was finally putting in consistent work and Moscow didn't want to fund anything that needed a bigger rocket. Then the Shuttle program started attracting attention and they decided the bigger rocket they wanted was a copy of the one the Americans were building.

And it came to pass in the latter days, that a great ship of fire and metal did soar into the heavens, and did rend the firmament asunder. And the people beheld the ship with wonder and awe, and said one to another, Lo, what manner of thing is this that flieth so high and so fast? And some praised the ship and its makers, saying, Surely this is the work of the Lord, and a sign of his favour unto us. And others feared the ship and its makers, saying, Surely this is the work of the devil, and a sign of his wrath upon us. And the ship did return to the earth in glory and in power, and did land safely upon its feet. And the makers of the ship did rejoice greatly, and gave thanks unto the Lord for his mercy and his grace. And they said one to another, Let us go forth and prepare another ship, that we may fly higher and farther than before. For this is our destiny, to fill the earth and subdue it, and to have dominion over all things that fly in the air. Amen.
