I remember reading years ago that raptor vacuum is actually not as efficient as it could be, is that still true? like elon initially was gonna do all sea level on starship because Rvac was taking too long, then it was being built but he said it was less than ideal performance. the fact they can fire it at sea level with only stiffeners makes me think it isnt the ideal nozzle size, plus they really cant make them bigger if they want tge sea levels raptors on the ship to be steerable

>>15554448
It helps that base raptor was already good and is only getting better. I agree with you; my assumption is that Rvac started out as “highly unoptimixed”, it’s gotten better, and over the next 5ish years will only be further and further optimized

Europe has always had excellent engineering talent paired with dogshit management. That's not likely to change any time soon. Space in Europe has been a jobs program for just as long as it has been in America. You don't reform an oldspace-style culture; you out-compete it and kill it off. What Europe really needs is one or two eccentric continental billionaires to commit to space the way Musk and Bezos have, but that's not likely to happen until they completely uproot and reform their weirdo collectivist regulatory structure.

To make European space competitive, you have completely change the way economic activity is structured in Europe.

I think those entities will unironically cease to exist before they get their shit together. The kind of organizational degradation undergone by the EU isn't non-destructively reversible.
A full dismantling of the EU and reassessment of the relationships between its former member states will need to take place before that region of the world can accomplish anything useful again. It's like that chart of the progression from startup -> bloated legacy company that gets posted here sometimes, where administrative efforts begin to eclipse accomplishments as a company ages. The EU is almost wholly occupied with administration and has no room for ambition.

Even at current 0.00025N/W efficiency levels it makes manned nuclear-electric exploration of the outer solar system immediately possible. A 10x gain in efficiency would allow solar-electric manned exploration of the inner system or nuclear-electric non-generational interstellar missions. The ability to house the drives inside the spacecraft has obvious military advantages as well.

Huntsville is a major aerospace hub, but other than the large defense firms, the businesses there primarily act as government services contractors rather than hardware manufacturers. Blue Origin's facility is a major exception, but most of the work being done in Alabama relies on US government agencies spending tons of money on studies and engineering services. NASA buying ready-made hardware from vertically-integrated startups circumvents this whole process.

There are some companies in the area slowly waking up to the new model, but most of them stand to lose from this shift. The decisions of their congressional representatives largely reflect this. Tuberville has pissed off a decent chunk of the people who would otherwise back him by fucking with space command, though.

It can't have early failures if it indefinitely delayed and then transitioned to a new flavor of the month China style to keep the grift going.

On the other hand, I think they are going to be super conservative with the early launches because they need the PR spin in a post starship world. I think all the big old players are desperate to be able to claim that their approach (spend all of someone else's money) makes rockets that just work and early starship failed in its early (please forget they are tests) flights.

Ariane 6 will likely "succeed" just because European institutional launcher, but infinite government money making vehicles that "just work" is the only other leg their funding stands on, and early failures would severely damage them there.

Ariane 6 is 100% guaranteed to actually fly missions, if only for the "muh European capability". Vulcan too because NSSL dictates that there must be at least two separate launchers for national security. Basically proving that in this stage of spaceflight, it has looped back to being only an endeavor for government agencies (of course, barring SpaceX's mogging).

Even if they succeed they're going to fail. They set up their production lines to be only capable of producing 11 cores and 35 P120C boosters per year. They're not even going to be able to manage to lift 200 tons to orbit per year which is going to look absurd even when you compare it to something like Vulcan.

Ariane 5 cost 160 m€ after subsidies (~30 m€ per launch)
Ariane 6 at the same production rate will likely cost the same, but without subsidies.
Mainly thanks to simplified ("industrialised") S1 and halved cost of main engine, and *hopefully* standardised booster but we've yet to see if they can increase production.

oh right sorry 160m€ including subsidies is more at the launch rate of the past years, peak launch rate (6-7 ariane 5 a year) was a bit cheaper, 130-150 million euro per launches after subsidies.
Arianespace still operated at a slight loss even under peak launch rate and subsidies.

They already basically shave $15 million on the cheaper Vulcain 2.1, if they can (big if) reach 9-10 launches a year like they claim they could maybe reach 130 million (2020 usd) for an A64. I'm not sure A62 will ever go much lower however, they're probably going to milk the institutional contracts that will launch on it.

At least CNES believes that A6 even at full production rate will never go below 130 million usd (cost is to GTO), note that 2020-2021 includes A5 ESA EGAS subsidies, which won't be applied for A6, since the whole point of A6 is to replace A5 and Soyuz while stopping needing EGAS subsidies.

its a massive area up to like 2.3 light years, billions of small icey comets but that means there is basically nothing at all there
occasionally some icey piece gets disturbed by another passing star or whatever and flung into the inner solar system (vast majority coming from the inner disc shaped oort cloud 20-30k AUs from the sun
but at this point I think it is mostly theoretical, just based on statistics and so on
the comets have to come from somewhere as they are slowly eaten up each time they pass close to the sun
actually observing these small icey balls and rocks is probably actually impossible

Stars have approached and will approach the sun even closer than the inner Oort cloud
>Gliese 710, or HIP 89825, is an orange 0.6 M star in the constellation Serpens Cauda. It is projected to pass near the Sun in about 1.29 million years at a predicted minimum distance of 0.051 parsecs—0.1663 light-years (10,520 astronomical units) (about 1.60 trillion km) – about 1/25th of the current distance to Proxima Centauri. Such a distance would make for a similar brightness to the brightest planets, optimally reaching an apparent visual magnitude of about −2.7

There's literally a binary system of two brown dwarves that are only 50% further out than Alpha centauri, and we only discovered them 10 years ago.

They're also middle-size brown dwarves, a single small brown dwarf could still be out there and relatively close to us.

The differences are that SpaceX tests their engines to failure all the time with different modifications made to them. Meanwhile, Jeff is just trying to make rockets that have been in a frozen configuration for probably three years now, while simultaneously they are monstrously more expensive and take far longer to manufacture. We know that two years ago SpaceX was at 1 Raptor every few days, but they literally were making so many that Elon had them stop since it didn't make sense to keep pushing in that area with the lack of launch opportunity. If Bezos could push out a slew of new rockets each week, and was consistently upgrading the rocket, no one would care. We're on Raptor 3 now, for Chrissake.

The difference is that a significant portion of the Paperclip guys, many of the most significant ones including von Braun himself, chose to go to the US of their own volition before Germany had even surrendered whereas the Osoaviakhim guys were basically told "work for us or die" by the Soviets.

Think of the possibilities with standard gauge though.

But yeah let me expand on that. You'd be surprised by how rare this type of expertise and knowledge really is. "Why can't we build the Saturn V (or an even more powerful vehicle) again?"
Saturn V was built by dozens of different companies operating under three general contractors. NASA has the "plans", but not the details. Just one example: late in development, Rocketdyne was struggling to address a combustion instability caused its F1 rocket engines to explode. The sort of computer modeling we have now didn’t exist, so the engineers guessed that something about the uniform pattern of holes inside the injector cone must be allowing for harmonic action inside the engine. Their solution was intuitive and simple: have a human being DRILL A BUNCH OF HOLES in odd places. So that’s what they did. By hand. And it worked, but we don’t know why or whether they were solving the right problem or just got lucky. In a machine of this complexity and at those times, a lot of things were just like that - decisions made on the spur of the moment by instinct, often with no formal analysis of the plan.
TLDR: we didn’t lose the plans for the Saturn V; they never existed outside of the minds of those who build her.
Take it a step further - those who built her literally just INTUITED the damn thing. IQ.

Doesn't this mean that even if ULA fixes the upper stage issues, they now can't launch the rocket until BO completes its analysis to determine if the engines it shipped to ULA are also impacted? Which in turn means that the ULA VC launch contract would slip over into Falcon Heavy/Starship?

If that was an acceptance test, then the engines that ULA has now have already passed the test.
The real problem is that BO is now short one autisimally handcrafted engine, and now they have to check the few other engines that they finished but haven't tested yet.

It's a budget issue; that's literally it. 1960s rocket programs had fuck-you government money to burn, so the impressive part of the Apollo Program is the timescale it was completed in (rather than that it was successful at all). During the peak years of the Apollo budget, NASA was getting five percent of the ENTIRE UNITED STATES GDP. Not 5% of the Federal Budget, not 5% of all taxes, five-fucking-percent of the entire American Economy was being consumed to get us to the moon. Even over the 10 year period Apollo ran it averages out to 2.5% of the US GDP. The Soviets' N1 largely failed because of budget restrictions, if they had even 10% more budget for ground testing more engines then a Soviet moon landing would have probably happened before Apollo 17. The 60s especially gave birth to a huge amount of almost impossible seeming tech advancements, but behind every cold war secret project is a truly incomprehensible amount of money, usually given as a blank check.

To put it in perspective:
In 2022 the US Gross Domestic Product was approximately 25.5 trillion dollars. Peak Apollo-tier money would mean cutting NASA a check for ONE POINT THREE TRILLION DOLLARS, PER YEAR. Even if you include the total program cost of Constellation as part of the budget for Artemis, NASA hasn't spent that much over 2 decades and they'd be getting more next year. They could launch 10 SLS+Orions a month and have cash left over.

JWST generates 58.8GB of image data per day. That's a lot of fucking pictures. Filtering it for something interesting and then generating all the color variances of it based on IR data alone takes time. It could be anything, but more than likely will be either:

1. A new galaxy
2. A merger event
3. A new nebula
4. A new star related discovery
5. A new expolanet related discovery
or
6. Something local to Sol itself

> Zhuque-2 beats a range of other methalox rockets, including SpaceX’s Starship, the ULA Vulcan, Blue Origin’s New Glenn, Rocket Lab’s Neutron and Terran R from Relativity Space, in reaching orbit. These other launch vehicles will be much larger and feature much greater payload capacity.

> The successful launch also makes Landspace the second private Chinese launch firm to reach orbit with a liquid propellant rocket. This follows the success of Space Pioneer with its Tianlong-2 rocket in April this year.

> Landspace’s Zhuque-2 is powered by gas generator engines producing 268 tons of thrust. Future Zhuque-2 launches with upgraded second stage engines will be capable of delivering a 6,000-kilogram payload capacity to a 200-kilometer low Earth orbit (LEO), or 4,000 kilograms to 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), according to Landspace.

more info

> Reisman joined NASA’s astronaut corps in 1998 and spent three months on the International Space Station in 2008 as part of the Expedition 16 and 17 crews, and another 12 days on the STS-132 shuttle mission to the ISS in 2010. He retired from the astronaut corps in 2011 and worked for SpaceX for several years in various capacities, including director of space operations. He is currently a professor of astronautical engineering at the University of Southern California.

> He said he is particularly interested in the ability of Vast’s space stations to spin and create artificial gravity. “We have a lot of data at zero G and tons of data at one G about what it does to the human body. We have no idea what happens in between,” he said. Those stations, he said, could help answer questions such as how much partial gravity is needed to prevent some of the deleterious effects of microgravity on human physiology.

It will probably will happen if nothing too BAD happens to russia as a state by 2030. They’ve got a well advanced flight model of one of the two main modules and have already tested an equivalent node in the ISS

It’ll definitely never go beyond the two modules tho

>>15557766
imagine a company has a market capitalization of 1 billion, and 100 million shares outstanding
this means each share is worth 10 dollars
stock exchanges have (at least nasdaq) requirements for the share price to be over a certain number, 1 dollar in nasdaqs case
if the stock is below this for an extended period of time, they would get delisted, right now Astras stock price is 0.381 dollars, so either the stock price has to get higher or they can do something called a reverse split where multiple stocks are combined so that the stock price gets higher
this doesnt affect the market cap, but a 15 reverse split would mean 15 stocks get combined into one, and the new stock price would be 5.715
there would just be less shares out there
something more common that happens is a stock split, where the number of shares is multiplied (so lets say you had a stock price of 1000 dollars and did a 5-to-1 stock split, if you had 10 stocks before now you have 50 stocks and each stock is worth 200 dollars instead 1000)
stock splits don't affect the market cap either and are not in and on themselves material events (they don't affect the future cash flows and valuation of the company)
this is done so employees can more easily sell shares, retail (normal people) buying stocks can also more easily do so

tl:dr multiple shares are combined so that the stock price goes over 1 dollar so Astra doesn't get delisted from the stock exchange

>>15557766
Stocks that stay under $1 long enough get delisted and turn into "Over The Counter" penny stocks that have poor liquidity and normal investors can't buy. Bed Bath and Beyond got delisted as part of its slide into bankruptcy as a recent example. Astra was coming up on the end of their very last chance to avoid getting delisted. The fact that 15 shares will become one share means they expect the price of a current share of ASTR to fall below 20 cents and stay there. Reverse splits of this size are never performed by healthy companies.
