It's remarkable how Ariane 6 and Vulcan are the product of 2014-era SpaceX, when SpaceX was just becoming a major player at a much reduced price but before reuse. If they had taken SpaceX seriously 2-3 years sooner, these rockets would be flying by now. If they had waited 2-3 years (or had any ambition), maybe they would've tried reuse. But because of their reaction to 2014 SpaceX, we have two rockets that are both shit and late.

How does hot staging create an abort mode in any way? It just moves Starship ignition a couple seconds to the left, it doesn't magically make the ignition sequence quicker or Starship powerful enough to move away in time even if ignition was quick enough (reminder that Dragon 2 abort has a full-thrust TWR of ~4 and basically instant ignition and thrust ramp-up due to SuperDracos being pressure-fed hypergolic engines). Or do you mean that because of the spin separation abort was completely impossible before and now at least an abort where the booster can just terminate thrust would be conceivable, while any abort involving fire would still likely be impossible? That still leaves the question of Raptor pre-chill and the actual quickest possible ignition, but I guess it was even worse before than I thought?

>Schmitt apparently had little regard for the military chain of command to which most astronauts had become accustomed.

>At length, Cernan sat Schmitt down with the bottom line. NASA may be a civilian agency, but its leaders came from military services, where the commander’s word was final. “We could discuss differences and problems,” Cernan wrote in his memoir, “but the old Supreme Being argument had to apply.”

>The consensus was that Schmitt would work through Cernan, like it or not. Or in Cernan’s words: “Period. End of story. Sit down.”

There was some speculation along those lines in the west and a complete silence on the subject from official Chinese sources. Then again, official Chinese sources are always completely silent until some point after the launch happens so that might not be anything out of the ordinary.

Mars society MDRS has been doing this for over 2 decades now. Antarctic bases have been doing this sort of testing in genuinely dangerous environment for like a century.

There are no concrete plans to test out. There's no actual hab to test. No life support systems. No spacesuits. No actual mission to rehearse for. No Mars compatible 3D printer was used.

First Man is great.
>ignored the US vs USSR
Not the point of the film. It's a personal drama about what Neil went through during those years as a test pilot and then at NASA as an astronaut. You may as well get mad that The Right Stuff doesn't have a Rock IV-esque showdown between John Glenn and Yuri Gagarin. As for the flag planting, they don't show the planting of the flag but they do the show flag planted. Literally everything you read about this movie being anti-American was just dumb outrage porn peddled to boomers by the MSM.

If TRS had completely ignored the fact that superpower rivalry was supplying the bucks for the Buck Rogers stuff that would have been stupid and ahistorical, yes. Leaving that context out of First Man is stupid and ahistorical, cope.

Here's to WvB and Zubrin. Especially happy that no matter how much "spitter" (stupidest fucking name ever) seethes about von Braun, he will always be integral to getting us to the Moon. He was a good man and Elon WILL name something significant after him (elon has his portrait in his room btw, and there's a conference room in Hawthorne named after him)

They were probably in too deep with the name, i.e. all legal stuff already had JWST attached and they created the logo and everything. Too much money to rebrand just for social currency points. I’m sure a large chunk of internal NASA people wanted it renamed though, modern NASA is gay as fuck as seen in the Bridenstine town hall where they did nothing but complain
