Probably nauseous at first, and especially if you have a window to look out of. Though to be honest in terms of orientation, I dont see any possible way to do rotation so that the 'floor' as it would be on Earth is where 'gravity' is because then how the hell are you going to re-enter orbit when youre spaceship is literally doing summersaults. It will probably be so that the walls are what gravity is because atleast then on a trip to Mars your spaceship stays oriented towards Mars and can boost if needed or slow down etc. Maybe I'm wrong in which case I would like to hear how other anons would do this. And dont show me that fucking tether idea that shit will not work.

> Dodd presented some numbers from late last year to highlight the problem. During the Artemis I mission, NASA's Orion spacecraft spent about 25 days traveling from Earth to a distant orbit around the Moon, then returned to a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The Deep Space Network's antennas collectively spent 903 hours tracking and communicating with the Orion spacecraft during Artemis I.

> But there's more to the story. There were 10 small rideshare secondary payloads that flew into deep space on the Space Launch System rocket on Artemis I. These CubeSats ranged in size from a shoebox to a briefcase, with small antennas and low-power transmitters that required large antennas on Earth to make a reliable connection.

> Eight of these CubeSats were tracked with the DSN, according to Dodd. "They got 871 hours of tracking, nearly as much as Artemis for eight little CubeSats," she said.

> "I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to put up (so many) CubeSats with Artemis I," Dodd said.

Ok let me state a few things on tether:
A) It's a shit ton of unnecessary work just to make artificial gravity in the traditional 'down' direction instead of just on the wall. Both serve the same purpose.
B) Separating them from the tether before re-entry on Mars would be EXTREMELY difficult if not impossible since you need to land both. Sending them spinning in the opposite directions is very difficult to get them both going back in one.
C) What material do you expect to withstand the tension on the cable. (This one is more of a genuine question)

> That translates to potential lost or delayed scientific results from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope. Other missions that gave up more than 100 hours of time on the DSN during Artemis I included the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Mars Odyssey mission, and Europe's Mars Express.

>China has several relay satellites of the Tianlian series in geostationary orbits, which can relay data to each other and to the ground, thus enabling communication with spacecraft that have no direct contact with ground stations. The technology of the relay satellites enables intermediate storage of data, a higher bandwidth of data connections, and greater sky coverage. These satellites were originally placed in orbit in 2008 for communication with the Shenzhou spacecraft of the crewed space program. But they are also used for deep-space missions, for example in 2020 for the Mars mission

The polyandry at least makes sense in the context of the setting being a former prison colony. The superintendence assistance I think is better to compare to how new technologies brought about radical changes that contributed if not directly upended the status quo, ala the printing press, firearm or steam engine.

Heinlein, for reference was described by Asimov as a "flaming liberal," so despite his evident libertarian beliefs, you can't simply peg him onto one specific belief system.

It's very annoying for JWST because it has severe limitations with data volume. Basically the instruments can easily overfill the disk in between downlinks. This means the planners have to juggle data intensive ones with light ones, even at the cost of efficiency. It also completely fucked over parallel programs, which is where a second instrument is used as a bonus random blind field. It got worse when a ground terminal in Guam was flattened by a storm, some data was just lost. Those programs have got very little data. How much Artemis was going to impact JWST depended on the Moon phase, where it ended up wasn't that bad. But people were warned that if there was a conclict they would pause JWST observations, which seems embarrassing.

I can give an example.
In flash memory when describing about many bits a cell can hold you have SLC, MLC, TLC, etc
SLC is is single-level cell, MLC is multi-level cell and is almost solely used to describe a cell that has 2 levels. Cells with more than 2 levels while they technically could also be called MLC more often you get the numeral prefix.

It's actually a bit of a scam that Samsung does, describing their modern solid state drives as having "MLC" but it's actually TLC or QLC. If you say MLC there is an expectation of 2 level cells and lots of people fall for it hook line and sinker

There are several parts you need to build a rocket motor
A nozzle and a closure and an insulator
You shove them in a case and then you fill it up with sludge
Don’t eat the sludge (it looks tasty!)

The forward closure’s made of 6061-T6
It gets an O-ring then another then a 3rd in case one splits
Tap the hole for the transducers
That’s how you build a rocket motor!

Now it’s time to make a nozzle and that comes in several parts
A graphite throat, a carrier, a whole lot of heart
These parts go on a lathe and then we make a lot of dust
Don’t breathe the dust (I love my lungs!)

The pieces go together and you seal them with ketchup
Just kidding it’s not ketchup it’s room temperature vulcanizing silicone
Now the nozzle part is over
That’s how you build a rocket motor!

And now it’s time, to make the sludge
Delicious sludge, don’t eat the sludge!! (It’s not worth it!)
You take HTPB, IDP, aluminum and mix
Then add the perchlorates, yum!
Now MDI, to cure the mix
And then you vacuum degas all the bubbles til the sludge gets thick
And when you’re ready pack the tube with 40lbs of cookie dough
And then you wait a bit, just a bit sec

Finally, remove the core
And that’s how you build a rocket motor!

Can we be done?

No! Now there’s one more step that’s left before we see if this thing works
We’ve gotta build a test stand and then work out all the quirks
Now we fill the thing with water, and pressurize it hard
69 bar (nice!)

The motor passed a hydro-test so now let’s light the match
But first we’ll get it polished to ensure that it looks snatched
And don’t forget the paint good sir
Cause that’s how you build a rocket motor!

The Moon always cucks us out of everywhere else. IIRC there hasn't been a single Super Heavy Lift Rocket that launched something beyond Earth's orbit so far. They are always designed for lunar missions, and governments will always chase those because of the massive prestige.
Europa Clipper was supposed to be launched on SLS and the trip to Jupiter would only take 3 years. Just imagine getting orbiters to Neptune and Uranus in under a decade after launch, but unless Starship is successful we just won't get that.

Even Twitter is still running with 1/8th of its staff, has a slew of new user monetization schemes in a matter of months, and will likely be profitable by 2024. The last point however is speculation. Do you suggest Elon has some sort of magic spell such that only he is allowed to hire great engineers to coddle him into making the right decisions? Seriously, explain the discrepancy in outcomes. Every other aerospace company left in the dust, legacy auto manufactures scrambling to keep up. The engineers at Toyota even begrudgingly admit the Model Y is a fantastic vehicle. Do their respective CEO's and executives not also have these incredible magic engineers to subtly manipulate the right decision making? Why not?

As somebody who works at a relatively large company, this is pretty much how things work (and always worked). This is not endemic to Elon and SpaceX.
For example, we called visit from a grant committee "Operation Potemkin"
We weren't able to actually make the machines run on time so we just played video on the control panels because otherwise we would risk losing funding.
it took another 2 years to actually make it all run for real.
By the way, we have 20% annual growth so I really wonder just how poorly the other companies out there are doing things.

You can tard wrangle maybe 10-50 people (depends how interested in the end goal they are). Anything more and you cannot even comprehend what all the people are supposed to be doing, let alone making sure they are doing it right or not just slacking off.
You cannot run any sort of organization beyond that size without people being able to game the system in some way or the other.

Just look at the large reception he recieved in his recent visit to the mainland which was larger then they even gave bill gates

this makes him an active liability for safeguarding know how. As what is stopping chinks from blackmailing him into leaking/providing backdoors to the CCP into spacex engineering databases. in china they dont have to go through pesky courts or due process to force bussinesses into compliance. All the ccp has to say is that it is mandatory to jump on our orders OR ELSE and all everybody can do is ask how high

Yes, parts of some of his novels are good, but he has entire novels in the "global warming sci fi" genre: novels set in the near future on Earth with no technological advancement and whose sole purpose, both for the author and the reader, is virtue signaling and justifying a wank about how very enlightened they are for parroting the shit everyone is already exposed to constantly in all forms of mainstream media.

Niggers, nigger lovers and their spawn feature heavily. One of his other novels features a non-nigger female fantasizing at length about her lover, a nigger. A good editor could probably salvage some of his works, but by far the majority of what he writes is either pointless preaching (anyone who could stomach it is already convinced) or graphic nigger worship.

I'd go to Mars if I didn't have any connections left on Earth and I'd work for SpaceX without hesitation if I had immediately applicable skills, but I have a family here and I'd need at least a year or two to get up to speed for a terrestrial career in the industry.

Still, at present the colonization of space seems like the only good chance for humanity to escape from so-called democracy, the nation state and demographic apocalypse.

Disregarding my personal interests, I'd say there's nothing more important than starting fully several independent colonies as soon as possible and then making Chicxulub look like a fucking joke.

Glass house is supposed to be the big project that ties together all his current technology into a kind of life style concept home.
So you have solar panels on the roof (tech Tesla does), a battery system (tech Tesla definitely does), a heat pump system, (tech Tesla also does), charging system for an electric car, and then maybe some AI stuff idk.
Main selling point is that it’s all a complete package that just werks which Tesla can then sell as a bundle.
This has been floated around for ages and is nothing new.

>>15708523
China is becoming less important to Tesla in terms of sales and operations.
Every year the share of revenue from Chinese sales has gotten smaller and smaller right now it’s around 23% of company revenue. Not a tiny amount, but not overwhelmingly reliant either.
In addition the Chinese are basically doing everything they can to push musk away.
A lot of weird copycat companies, compete viciously with him in their own market, and a little of the the usual lawfare stuff.
I’m pretty sure Elon is aware of how the Chinese are, if he somehow isn’t then he’s at least very, very aware that right now they are his main competitors.

And yes Chinese CPI has fallen below zero so yes they are definitely in a recession.

>b-but china and russia aren't nuclear wastelands yet
hint: when a country starts giving out less and less publicly available indicators of economic health and it's later found out the indicators they do show to the world were falsified, that might mean they have something worth hiding.

when the authoritarian shithole shuts off all data openness and intentionally fabricates fake data for the rest of the world to see, it's pretty safe to assume that authoritarian shithole is nearing the end of it's proverbial road.

not saying china or russia will collapse entirely btw, but their current modus operandi are very clearly not sustainable for them and cannot continue if they want to survive.

it's not even really too late for china, they could turn around all of their chest thumping and return to the policies that made them such a large economy in the first place, it's their choice.

russia is probably beyond saving at this point, they're slowly shutting off from the rest of the world, they're in their death throes.

Reminder that the Eagle ascent module may still be in LLO
>The Apollo 11 Eagle Lunar Module ascent stage was abandoned in lunar orbit after the historic landing in 1969. Its fate is unknown. Numerical analysis described here provides evidence that this object might have remained in lunar orbit to the present day. The simulations show a periodic variation in eccentricity of the orbit, correlated to the selenographic longitude of the apsidal line. The rate of apsidal precession is correlated to eccentricity. These two factors appear to interact to stabilize the orbit over the long term.

The engines make a very shitty shield because they're essentially point masses. Even the reinforced rear dome the engines are mounted to is a shitty shield, too thin and wrong material.
