Why is Jeff Bezos starting a spacecraft company now
>>533503883india has a space programas well. so what ? in nowadays weimerica a space program is just putting lipstick on a corpse
>>533503921to steal the moon, all billionaires do is steal
>>533503921You need to understand the american economy, it functions off fraud. He will basically get overpaid to launch rockets even if the company is shit and pocket freshly printed money en masse.
>>533503883Who cares what this rich cocksucker does.
He must have stolen proprietary information from SpaceX.Theres no way two people would spend billions of dollars separately to come up with the exact same solution to the exact same problem thats already been solved....Right?
>>533503883Wow, they managed to land a rocket and not just discard it into the ocean like trash. Why am I supposed to be impressed by this again? It's 2026 and we're still using conventional thrust to escape Earth's gravity? Where are the warp drives?
>>533503883kek he'll never erase the memory of his new wife getting rizzed by leonardo di caprio in front of him No matter how many rockets he launches
>>533504015>we're still using conventional thrust to escape Earth's gravity? Where are the warp drives?If the middle east stopped attacking Israel, thats where we'd be
>>533503965That's anti-Capitalism what you're describing.>>533503921>now>>533503883The dark smoke needs reducing.
>>533504052Fuck your Israel and fuck the jews. Die in a missile barrage.
>>533503921He has had one for 25 years.
>>533503996Practically 100% certain he poached SpaceX workers, at minimum. Likely there also was espionage involved.May they dragged some failed Falcon rocket from the ocean too.
>>533503883Whats the point of landing if cuckrocket cant deliver didly shit in orbitApollo was the way to go, these twink rockets are pure faggotry
>>533503921>Why is Jeff Bezos starting a spacecraft company now>nowHe's had an idea this is what he's wanted to do since the early 2000s. In the early 2010s he got people together to start working on hardware in earnest. Most normalfags are only in the last few years becoming aware of what BO is up to but they've been working on hardware, specifically engines since the early 2010s.
>>533504107What do you want to shoot into orbit that weights 50 or 100 tons?That shit's mainly for interplanetary work.
>>533504183Fucking catapult or some shit for unmanned mission.This tech solves nothing
>>533504247>Fucking catapultSpinlaunch is trying that and there are real fuckin problems with the entire model, hence why they're basically the first retards to make an actual attempt with the tech. There's a reason chemical rockets are what are used. All other alternatives are too dangerous, too unreliable or can't get payloads to where you want them without turning them to paste/dust. This tech does plenty, it greatly increases the size and weight of payloads to a given orbit at a given pricepoint. Spacex is currently tied for cheapest launch provider in terms of $/payload lb and according to people in the know their internal costs are anywhere from 1/2 to as little as 1/6th what they charge customers depending on who you believe. Having the booster stage be reusable is what allows them to drag prices so low, even accounting for the marine asset and other assorted costs associated with catching and refurbing a landed booster stage.
>>533503921>nowwhy are chuds so ignorant?
>>533504546They are trying to solve secondary problem instead of ditching the secondary problemMaking cuck relanding rockets with 50 to 200 tons MIXED payload instead od doing sub ton launchesTheir payloads are never coherent mass that needs to be lifted in that way and only payload that justifies rocket launch is human crew.Ditch the fucking propulsion slow accelerationg horseshit already and fling the shit in orbit
>>533503883America is living in 2100
>>533503883
>>533504546>the CHAD suicide burn vs>>533503883>the virgin hover
>>533503921>free brownie points >government gives massive tax breaks for it because it's too lazy and incompetent to manage anything at scale
>>533504696>Ditch the fucking propulsion slow accelerationg horseshit already and fling the shit in orbitLike I already said, shooting or flinging shit into orbit puts such an insane g-load on the payload that you cannot engineer a configuration or container to keep it from crushing itself into junk halfway through the "launch." Hell there are tons of payloads which are only as heavy or expensive as they are because they have to be overbuilt to survive the comparatively paltry ~4g loads payloads on falcon 9 are subjected to. And that's only accounting for the g loads related to the spinup/acceleration for the "launch." You have to consider the aerodynamics since shit is going to be tossed from near sea level because the costs of hauling some multiton satellites or hardware up mountain passes to a mountain peak where you store the Space Flinger™ is going to exceed what it costs to just fuckin launch it with a disposable rocket from sealevel.Now if you didn't have to contend with atmosphere things change quite a bit. There are proposals for massive maglev tracks to be built some day on the moon to facilitate moving hardware into orbit from the surface if eventually large scale manufacturing starts happening there. If aerodynamics isn't a problem then what amounts to a massive ramp where gradual acceleration can be applied over a long ass duration becomes feasible.
>>533504696>limit yourself to tiny payloads that have to be built to withstand 10,000 G force
>>533505063non human payloads have no issues with g forceand where did you get 10k gs from?
>>533505318>and where did you get 10k gs from?
>>533505472you obviously cant bong
>>533505318>non-human payloads have no issues with g forceLet me introduce you to a little thing we call SOLDER.
>>533503883Didn't successfully orbit the payload, so you should unkneel.
>>533504052>If the middle east stopped attacking Israel, thats where we'd beYou mean if your genocidal child murdering shithole stopped bombing every nation that had existed for millennia, that's where we'd beNow fuck off Jeffrey Epstein
>>533505525>The SpinLaunch Orbital Launch System will enable a fundamentally new way to reach space. The Orbital Accelerator will accelerate a launch vehicle containing satellites up to 8,000 kph using a rotating carbon fiber arm within a 100-meter diameter steel vacuum chamber.Spinlaunch want a 100m diameter centrifuge, which is 314m circumference. They want to have a release velocity of 8000kph which is 2220m/s. That means 7 spins a second, which is roughly 430RPM. That rpm with a centrifuge radius of 50 is over 10,000g of force.
>>533506042Ok bong you can match but you cant readGo back and see where i said i want it washingmachine launched into orbithttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarTram
>>533506256Kek>just build the track 22km tall bro it's that easy
>>533503921He wants poorfags to mine asteroids while Earth is kept as a billionaire's resort
>>533503883Only Americans would be stupid enough to keep 10% of the fuel in the tank just so they can land the part that's most disposable for 'recycling'. Also half the time it explodes.
>>533503921>nowif he wasn't busy with other shit and made this his main goal we'd be on the moon for the first time next year
>>533503883It looks like a giant w-
>>533506330its not "tall" its angledeven your cuck rockets enter that angle on leaving atmosphereAnd when you made it once its up and running
>>533503883how does this differ from what spacex has already done
>>533503883Why did you not kneel when SpaceX did it? they just landed their 600th booster>>533503921He started one over 20 years ago. Space is the next ocean in terms of economic potential.
>>533503980Yeah I've stopped buying from Amazon because he's such a piece of shit. His website has gone from being one of the cleanest and most easily navigatable (around 2012) to a literal pajeet scam site.
>>533506523So you'd need to develop the largest area vacuum ever constructed by orders of magnitude, up the side of a mountain? Good luck with that
>>533504052kek i do believe you're on the right track but it has more to do with the color of people's skin who are the main reason for our failures as a society to advance
>>533504732with similar demographics and quality of life
>>533506864China apparently made 2km of successful vactrain, if they can extend it slovak anon might have a point
>>533503883the Moon is where all the billionaire baddies will hide all their secrets and rape and eat the children. it'll be like the Epstein island but on the Moon.
>>533503921Because rich pedo got out of trouble by Americans being cucks, so now they go back playing who has it longer.
>>533503883Also how are they even making these rockets? Usually the energy needed to push the spaceship into space is so great the rocket always explode, so how are these not exploding? In fact, aren't the chances of it exploding even greater when reused?
>>533505318>non human payloads have no issues with g forcevery much depends on the payload.
>>533503921So they can cancel Elon Musk and continue with Woke X
>>533506622its bigger and the engines dont get caked in filth from burning kerosene. its looking like a really good new launch system so far.
>>533508241>Usually the energy needed to push the spaceship into space is so great the rocket always explodeThat hasn't been the case in a very long time.>In fact, aren't the chances of it exploding even greater when reused?Yes, but through over a decade of work Spacex and others in the industry have figured out some pretty good best practices for loads, designs and inspection/refurb. The Falcon 9 platform is routinely getting 20+ flights out of a booster/engine setup before retirement and their reliability is about as good as it gets in the aerospace industry. Through booster reuse cost per lb to orbit has gone way down and availability of launches year round has gone through the roof. Doubly so if the payload isn't that heavy or it doesn't need to go past LEO because in that case they can run a RTLS profile and avoid the expensive gay marine asset overhead entirely.
>>533503996Probably just asked Grok.
>>533507232Just need 198 more kilometres and you're good to go
>>533503921Trump's 1.5 trillion defense budget includes the Golden Dome (tons of satellites). Daddy's tits are swollen full of milk.
>>533503931Your skin is brown and your IQ is 70
>>533508736i always wonder about the heating effect on the launch vehicle. it'll need an amazing heat shield to exit the atmosphere.
>>533503883jeff bezos uses twitter?considering how insecure he always is, constantly competing with other billionaires i'm surprised he doesn't have his own social media platform
>>533503883Seeing shit like this, while impressive, makes you reflect on the fact that we power our crafts with literal explosions and how inherently dangerous it is.
>>533503883ai slop
>>533509106they even had problems with warp drive cores in startrek anon. high energy is just dangerous.
>>533505318>payloads have no issues with g forceEverything that has to go up needs to be lightweight and guess what if something breaks you cant repair it. The scenario in your head would smash any satellite ever launched before it got into orbit.
>>533503883tbf it wasn't America who did it, it was a private company in burguerland
>>533503931This. I am American scientist and even I know India is the most advanced science nation in the entire world. India actually landed on the moon and America just flew around bc they are not as smart! LOL. I can see why we need to import more Indians to even try to keep up
>>533504546Why not have a parachute at the top of the rocket deploy to make the landing easier?
>>533504088>That's anti-Capitalism what you're describing.Imperialism? space imperialism?Cyber imperialism?See: the world governments have run out of psyops
>>533509599Because an empty booster is a lot less structurally sound than one that's full of cryo propellant. As the propellant heats up it offgasses and pressurizes the tanks in the process. But once it's back to the launch site it's basically totally empty so the liquid pressure is gone, the gas pressure is all but gone and a hard impact could compromise the booster to the point it would have to be scrapped. A parachute can only slow an object so much and without supplemental airbags or way heavier sacrificial landing gear it simply wouldn't survive the landing impact. Also there's the issue of parachutes on that scale for something that heavy being functionally uncontrollable so you're at the mercy of the wind and wherever it pushes you. You cannot land that thing on a barge or at a landing pad at the launch site with parachutes. Then there's the biggest thing most people underestimate, being just how unreliable and fiddly parachutes are for objects bigger than an individual human. A lot more work goes into ensuring they deploy absolutely perfectly and they're really not the easy solution many assume they are. There are a lot of things going on that when taken together make propulsive landing a more attractive method if you can manage it.
