both NTSB and FAA need a shakeup in management, especially in regards to commercial space. Autry noted that it's pretty grim right now at the FAA specifically. NASA has been coasting off of Big Jim's contracting spree and Trump-implemented policies. The new contracts for space suits and commercial leo destinations are looking sus lately, and those were issued under the current admin. And now Zurbuchen has retired. NASA is poised to go downhill fast without another injection of commercial space management a la Greg Autry, Jeff Greason, or even Lori Garver.

He often doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. He recently did a whole video about how shortage of Phosphorus might explain the Fermi Paradox. The entire pivoted on his claim that Phosphorus is very rare in the galaxy and produced only by Si-30 capuring a neutron during Type-2 supernovae, a rare reaction during a rare event.
Well I became interested so looked into it, and the latest research is quite different. Phosphorus is very hard to detect in spectra, but as far as we can tell in recent years is fairly common in sun-like stars, about in the same proportions we have it. In addition it's now known that the neutron-capture reaction is inadequate to explain observed quantities of P, and so a more productive reaction is required. Al-27 capturing an alpha particle to produce P-31 plus a gamma ray is proposed.
My point is Isaac Arthur is just another youtuber with an output to maintain and paypigs to satisfy, so he cranks out the content first and checks facts later.

Do you ever wonder what life would be life on Earth if we lived in a binary star system?

I'm particularly fond of an imaginary scenario where we replace the four outer planets with an M5 or M6 type red dwarf about the size of Proxima Centauri, and give the two stars an average seperation of around 20 AU (comparable to the width of Uranus' orbit).

I'd figure the Earth would still receive the overwhelming majority ( >99%) of its energy from the main sun. "Sol B" would be visible in the daytime sky as a bright star, and in the night sky it would cast a glow somewhat like an incandescent bulb; possibly bright enough to read by.

There would be primary and secondary seasons. The primary seasons will be the cycle we have already as dictated by the Earth's tilt, whereas the secondary seasons will be dictated by the Earth's position relative to the line between the two stars, which itself moves slowly as the stars take several decades to complete an orbit.

Red dwarfs are known for violent flare behavior that can be detrimental to organic life, but at 15 AU it would be too far from Earth to cause any harm.

An issue with spaceborne colonies I'm curious about is expansion. On a planet, the colony could just repurpose more of the surface. In space on a rotating station, things are more complicated. Is it feasible to just make the cylinder longer without messing with its balance too much? Is there a limit to the length of a cylinder before you would have to make a new one?

He is. Unclear who takes his place. But it seems under him, he's setup a lot of awards towards SpaceX to ensure that whoever inherits its position, they can't fuck with the current momentum. Nelson, ironically, redeemed himself with commercial space and SpaceX's partnership after being properly bought into the fold, the same way that Bridenstine was. Nelson was in a talk with some USAF general, and that general basically just gave it to Bill straight, that because of SpaceX with Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, the USAF/gov thereby has been saved $40Bn in cost to get to orbit. That $40Bn as a result has been reallocated to future projects simultaneously. That's more capability that the US will project in the coming years as a result. Nelson said those words in a congressional testimony. Since that day, he's basically pushed in favor of SpaceX as far as his political acumen will allow.

But he too likely sees the writing on the wall, that present admin isn't happy with this behavior. Elon is at odds with said admin on nearly every front, some of it justified, some of it arguable. He's done enough to prep SpaceX to continue into the HLS Starship phase of the program, and now wants out, before the infighting between Tesla/present admin bleeds over into SpaceX/NASA partnership and potentially fucks things up unnecessarily, and in consequence, breaks what's been working incredibly well thus far.

That way, if something does go wrong, the fault will align with whoever the administration will appoint next and the geopolitical consequences of that, can be laid squarely at the feet of the appointee. Especially since, for the last 2-ish years, he's been hammering away at Congressional committees that China is copying SpaceX hard and are working to recreate their own Apollo program for Moon AND Mars, and that Congress isn't taking this threat seriously enough. His success on this front has been ~~ AT BEST. So I guess he's taking an exit while he can.

Pretty amazing how we’ve now been through 2 completely different administrations, each tasked with making SLS the “priority,” yet at the same time both administrations have basically been trying to work in unison to course-correct everything that isn’t SLS-Orion in favor of SeX. In my opinion it’s a little bit of “well fuck we don’t have any money and this is the cheapest and most capable option,” but a big part of it also seems to be “spacex is becoming our new favored partner”

This one is huge. Ariane 5 was supposed to only do 6 tons to GTO, but Hermes being fat meant 11 tons to GTO was possible. This kept it alive so long, as a launcher.

>>15095239
This is infuriating. Atlas and Delta and Titan being wound down in preparation of the shuttle, and sadly, they never recovered cost-wise. Titan IV is like $600 million in todays money, and Delta II was $90 million for only 1.5 tons to Gto. Fucking maddening.

>Hermes mass creep turning out to allow Dual launch on A5
Dual launch started with the Ariane 4. Being able to split the launch costs between a pair of customers was a big contributor to why Arianespace was able to anschluss 75% of the commercial launch market at one point. The biggest reason why they were developing the Ariane 5 was that geostationary comms birds were getting too big to be dual manifested, and flying with only one customer would severely undercut Ariane's marketability.

>>15095239
There was a logic to it: the more a rocket flies, the cheaper it gets. The problem was that when the shuttle was being designed NASA was planning on using it to build and maintain a space station which could have added a dozen flights per year all on its own. After congress defunded that idea the only way to get the shuttle's cadence up and costs hopefully down was to give it every mission that was planning on launching from Florida. It's still a dumb call compared to keeping the contemporary Atlas and Delta lines open, but its not completely irrational.

Skylab would have kept going, but not for years. Skylab-A was a testing article and it ran it like. The idea was always to learn from that and launch a more reliable Skylab-B on a longer duration mission. That'd mean that we'd get one less Saturn V on display and there wouldn't be a Skylab hull hanging from the ceiling at the National Air and Space Museum.

The Titan would have taken the role of America's flagship launch vehicle and would have continued to evolve. There'd be a reasonable chance we'd actually see one of the wide-body non-hypergolic Titans actually make it to the pad, probably to support a post-Skylab station in the late eighties or early nineties. The Soviets take the lead in LEO with Salyut and Mir, but it's not a huge lead. A lot of the missions that had their schedules wrecked after Challenger would fly on time on Titains. Galileo would launch on schedule without a fucked up main antenna, and would have been near Jupiter in time for Shoemaker–Levy 9 to make its appearance.

Arianespace would still be successful, but without the Shuttle they wouldn't have their opening to become overwhelmingly dominant. With an abundance of American launch options there'd be less leverage for the payload companies to demand that Chinese and Russian rockets get let into the western commercial market. China might get a foot in the door eventually, but the lack of western investment would make the hell of the 1990s even worse for the Russian space sector. Without western commercial launches on the Proton Khrunichev goes under, and without NASA's pre-ISS funding to help keep Roscosmos stable they're probably not the only casualty.

Not that I've seen. Most of the stuff I've read about the selection been second hand and kinda vague, but it does add up eventually.

Lockheed got picked because they had good relationship with the USAF through the Titan program and McDonnell got picked because the Delta II was a commercial success at the time and everything looked like that trend would continue, which would help subsidize the government's launch manifest.

Boeing was a major player in aerospace but it was a subcontractor in spaceflight and had never manged a full launch program, let alone one with an ambitious reuse goal. Alliant Techsystems were a bunch of crazy people who thought you could just strap a bunch of solids together to get an get an EELV, without realizing that it's not that easy in rocketry. Also after the SRMU debacle the Air Force really didn't like the idea of R&Ding even more solid stages.

We'll have to move Earth anyway as the Sun brightens
>Various mechanisms have been proposed to accomplish the move. The most plausible method involves redirecting asteroids or comets roughly about 100km wide via gravity assists around Earth's orbit and towards Jupiter or Saturn and back. The aim of this redirection would be to gradually move Earth away from the Sun, keeping it within a continuously habitable zone. This scenario has many practical drawbacks: besides the fact that it spans timescales far longer than human history, it would also put life on Earth at risk as the repeated encounters could cause Earth to potentially lose its Moon, severely disrupting Earth's climate and rotation.

Getting some boots on the regolith to contest an absolute claim is really all we can really talk about doing without China making some kind of clear policy statement to refute. All that's getting passed around now is just extrapolations of China's standing policy of making claims about shit that's not actually theirs, with the added layer of the moon not having any concrete strategic importance unlike the islands and reefs they keep building shit on.

Well yes actually, there is a great deal of experiments in this field as to how chiral proteins and DNA can form in a hot soup and almost all the people at the top who spend a lot of time in it end up coming to the conclusion that intelligent design of some kind is real. Just look at how a """basic""' cell works you dumb nigger and if you think random strands of DNA in a pool (that are basically impossible for even a single one to form, let alone survive the reverse chiral proteins or survive for any length of time) can come together to create that I have a bridge to sell you.
