You remember how much trouble SpaceX used to have getting a continuous stream on Falcons from launch to landing? The existing TDRSS network is just not built for high-bandwidth functions like that, and because it's riding on a Centaur Starliner goes a lot further downrange before staging so line of sign comms are impossible. "Just adding starlink" would technically work, but it's also a design nightmare that Boeing really doesn't want to have to address.

No. They are working on Raptor 3 and Block 2 currently. Block 2 is the biggest hurdle aside from Raptor 3, and Block 3 can't happen until Raptor 3 is being made at scale. If there are delays with Raptor 3 then I could see Block 3 being pushed to 2026/7. Block 3 is otherwise very easy as it's basically just a taller version of Block 2 where as the bulk of Block 2's changes are in the Booster/Starship and not the engine.

Yeah, Zack proposed a theory that the stage separate damaged the hooks that hold the interstage to the booster and that's why it didn't release when it was supposed to which he backs up with footage and simulations in the video.

>Until recently, the telescopes on Maunakea were managed by the University of Hawaii, but in an attempt to work more closely with indigenous Hawaiians, management of the observatories has been handed over to the newly established Maunakea Authority. The Authority contains representatives from local government, the university, as well as the observatories themselves. It is also intended to feature people with experience and understanding of Hawaiian culture in order to help guide the most appropriate use of the mountain.

>As part of the handover — and as part of a deal to hopefully obtain a permit for construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope — the University of Hawaii has agreed to decommission three observatories on the mountain. Now, the first of these — the University of Hawaii Hilo's 36-inch Hōkū Keʻa Telescope, which was used for teaching — has been removed.

>removal of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO), which is much larger with a radio dish that's 10.4 meters (34 feet) in diameter. Having seen first light in 1986, the CSO actually closed in 2015 having been superseded by new instruments such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.

>The third telescope to be removed will be UKIRT, the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, a 3.8-meter (150-inch) telescope originally owned and managed by the U.K., but which, in 2014, was handed over to the University of Hawaii. Since then, it has continued operating in an automatic, unassisted mode.

They're all cucks but couldn't give two shits about a tiny teaching telescope and two outdated one's being removed. EBO is going to die within the next 20yrs anyway.

>That review did turn up something he called a “design vulnerability” with Starliner’s propulsion system where, in a rare circumstance, the spacecraft would not be able to perform a deorbit burn if two adjacent “doghouses” that contain RCS and larger orbital maneuvering and attitude control (OMAC) thrusters failed. That failure, he said, would knock out enough OMAC and RCS thrusters to prevent existing backup plans for carrying out a deorbit burn from being implemented.

>Engineers developed a new deorbit reentry mode that would use two burns of four RCS thrusters in that scenario. Such a failure mode would be “very remote,” Nappi said, appearing in less than one percent of potential combinations of failures.

as of right now they should be fine on coming back. they'd need many more failures before that'd be a concern.

idk about the docking, but they will surely get short of RCS fuel for re-entry. If they can't orient the main shield front for re-entry, chances are they will burn uncontrolledly. I don't think they will risk that much.
Especially after many days docked at ISS while leaking He (it is a gas that likes to leak).

Lets see if they arrive safe first. A leak can rotate the capsule and the RCS will fire automatically to correct it, thus wasting even more fuel.
Worst case they are left tumbling in LEO preventing a dragon or soyuz rescue.

I'm sorry, but did Starliner already fail the mission? Oh, that's right. The mission isn't even over yet. In fact, it's only day 1. Does not having all your RCS jets on day 1 count as a mission failure? Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make these posts when the mission is still on? Boeing is still financially solvent right now and they have been the best company in the Commercial Crew program for how many years now? They're up against one of the worst companies in spaceflight who just happens to be ahead in crew launch because they're feeding off the energy of having a competitive fixed-cost contract. But you know what? They still fucking suck. Boeing is one of the best fucking contractors in spaceflight, they launched the biggest rocket ever 2 years ago and would've launched it again this year if fucking Lockheed didn't choke. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when the Chargers wins and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, S29 just lost another tile when it needed to keep it on, just like the S28 did. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a post on this general again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these anti-Boeing topics because you're a faggot hater who doesn't like the company because they're good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking corporations on the general, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your posts now, you're a retard.

It not a freak occurrence. OFT-1 had its own share of thruster failures which were written off as "not a real problem." It looks like it's just a trait that Starliner isn't going to escape without a serious redesign that no one wants to do. Boeing has to ride with it because when it comes to propulsion the only real options anyone has are build their own thrusters of buy them from aerojew, and Boeing doesn't have a space propulsion division.

No I think just installing the hardware itself to allow transpirational cooling adds a ton of dry mass to the booster.

My prediction from the start is that they're gonna frag a tower and then start landing it on droneships "temporarily". It'll be fine though cause they can already get an insane flight rate with falcons, tower landing isn't needed.

Divine intervention.

But really they have a built in way to compensate if it starts to turn or otherwise lose stability, and the engines do most all of the piloting once it gets subsonic. It's insanely impressive that the wing survived at all though, since it was already substantially weakened before hitting the most stressful portion of reentry. Just goes to show how sturdy stainless steel is, not like the tin—sorry, aluminum—can vessels of the past.

The hardware is nowhere ready for reuse. So caught boosters would be scrapped for a long time. It's not necessary to do any missions. You have one tower and even if the damage isnt catastrophic it just delays launches that can be testing everything else. Just be patient and build another tower. There's also little question if the tower catch is possible, so it's not some uncertainty looming over the project that needs demonstration

You're actually backwards. In Hollywood space kills instantly (though this is changing as people become aware). In real life most experts agree, though obviously no one has tried it, that space would be survivable for at least some number of seconds if medical attention could be rendered fast enough. But it's not necessary. They have pressure suits. Like I said, it's just whether the temperatures and radiation could be tolerated for the time it takes to go a few hundred feet. I was just curious whether that would be feasible in an emergency.

I'm not sure if anyone's ever seriously thought about doing it in real life, but it should technically work. The androgynous part means that there shouldn't be any technical difference between the stationary station ports and the mobile ship ports. You'd just designate Starliner as the stationary object and then have Dragon pull up to it.

A particular IDSS port can be manufactured to be able to act in the active role, the passive role, or either role. If a port (e.g., the ones on the ISS) is passive-only, then the other spacecraft must implement the active role. If a port is active-only (e.g., the ports on Crew Dragon and Cargo Dragon, and Starliner), then the other spacecraft must implement the passive role.

Well, we've got another starlink launch tomorrow and maybe a Virgin Galactic flight on Saturday. The next big things are a Falcon Heavy launching a GOES comsat to GEO on the 25th and Starliner's undocking and return to Earth on the 27th.

For my country is that we don't have money anymore and we are sinking in debts.
The past government spent 135 bilion euros to give people money to rearrange their front porch, i wish i was fucking joking holy shit the amount of things we could have accomplished with all of that.

China is the only non-Western country that could feasibly compete in the new space race, but with their demographic and economic problems, it seems unlikely.

>it's just whether the temperatures
Total physician here: but does temperature matter? ISS is in a vacuum, it has trouble getting rid of heat rather than losing it. Not enough particles to steal your heat by convection/conduction so you're only losing it by radiation.
Being on the moon is different though because there's a thing you stand on that has particles and it gets cold and hot.

Seems like the #1 issue is whether you have oxygen. So: if you strap a SCUBA tank to your face hard enough, would you be okay?
