No 2nd stage of a rocket has returned from orbit back to earth fully intact.

They’ve recovered the booster before. This is the first time they recovered the second stage which was in orbit for about 22 hours. Recovering something from orbit is about 1700x harder than recovering a booster

More difficult because the ship landed from orbit.
>>
>>546236328
Extremely more difficult. This was in orbit. Boosters never get more than a couple hundred miles or kilometers away from the launch site. The 2nd stage (starship) was going 17,000mph. The booster only goes like 1000mph

It all must be dissolved to be made anew.

Yeah, 5-10 years behind fucking schedule. They should be be testing Starship multi-phase refueling in space by now. Apollo mission went from a napkin drawing to a manned Moon landing in the time it took Spaceship to stop blowing up randomly on launch for the upteenth time. America is losing the new space race to chinks because they put their trust in the hands of a private techbro grifter. Anyone who believes this shit it landing on the Moon in 2027-28, or by 20230 for that matter is off his meds.

But China has wired fiber connections everywhere, it is the most advanced country in that regard. Why would it need a satellite internet? It is just worse in every way

Actually, the issue with previous flights (as far as I saw it) is that the thing's fire shield always burns and either explodes completely or destroys the electronics so they lose control of it and it starts spinning randomly.

for people not understanding this wasn the booster
what is impressive is proving the reusability
it's slowly going somewhere
it's a necessity to start building anything on the moon
it was indeed an historic day as it goes to show SpaceX might not be far from being able to reliably catch and relaunch every stage of a space rocket for reusability purpose
without that no space travel building or colonization
it is possible that in some far distant future it will be known as the day that concretized space exploration
the future will tell
very impressive

It's a neat trick, but what's the point? Space is so insanely hostile to life that nobody is ever going to colonize Mars. They likely won't even colonize the Moon. At most, it'll be used to put more Saarlink satellites in orbit so more third world trash can access the internet.

>>546237123
>since starship is not intended for space exploration
It's a truck made to drop the price of lifting things to orbit by a factor of a hundred. Starship isn't what does the exploration. What does the exploration is the exploration stuff which becomes much cheaper to get where the exploration is to be done.

Starship is too heavy to even make it to the moon, hence why there are so many ridiculous plans in NASA of how to get it to the moon, one more insane than the other.
Big rockets need more fuel, Starship needs so much that the fuel itself is too heavy. So what NASA came up with is that Starship just goes to orbit and stays there while they somehow deliver more fuel to it with even more rockets
Obviously this will never go anywhere, hence why Starship is primarily a payload carrier for low-earth orbit

That's possibly a problem.
What you're missing is that the current version is designed for muti-floor habitation. It's not a huge change to scale a few floors into fuel.

it's different because it's a different type craft. the rules of velocity and weight and air-thickness are the same. terminal velocity and slowing during fall happens to both.
what it proved is that the panels, structure, jets/nozzles, and avionics can survive 22 hours after a launch and orbital insertion, and the re-entry heat.
So, it's big for the design.
Also, nobody thought reuse was possible just 15 years ago. And nobody thought catching would be reliable even after they landed Falcon.

Venus is literally the second best place to colonize in the solar system. I'd argue it's actually the best. The upper Venusian atmosphere is about 1ATM and below 100C. It's still pretty warm but workable. You would just need hazard suits and acid resistant materials to live there. NASA had a concept where they put blimps and shit on it using regular air as a lifting gas. It is entirely within the realm of possibility to build a real world Cloud City from Star Wars on Venus.

You have a pretty good point, there's some question of the catch being the rule.

The other versions are easy, if you can catch, you should be able to "hard land" in a dozen different ways.

>>546238274
>why is it more impressive this time or something
that's a personal emotional question fren, I can't tell you what you find impressive about what. you can argue that about ten minutes before it was on the tower, it was moving over 12k miles per hour (25k km/hour) at nearly 65 miles above the earth. So fast that it was making its own Plasma as it came back in. and this after a day of orbits getting heated then cooled by every orbit.

Depends on the specific rocket.

Fuel is usually a small fraction of the launch cost. For Starship (~4500 tons of cryogenic methalox) the cost of fuel per launch is about a million dollars, give or take. That's about the cost of a single Raptor engine.

Starship is slowed with passive aero all the way until the last moment where it's flipped by its engines in about a second of burning. Not enough fuel loss to use a parachute to upright the ship.

Also spacex wants to refuel and rego and operate with the turnaround closer to an aircraft, with the starship never leaving the tower in between flights. This is important for tanker flights where fuel is repeatedly flown to a depot ship in space and that fuel is boiling off in the process so there's a race against time. Refurbishment is a cruel master right now.

The last three years have seen a changeover to Raptor 3. And it is a matter of record that, in the video you linked, the problem was engine failure on the way up.

I think they're going to have a period where they could do a week, then 3, then 1 day turn around, and if they fleet-up, they can do the same fast-rate of launches, with a reuse into six or seven per craft, and still have a profitable option, If they have something to aim for.

interesting. I was wrong then

I should correct this.

Estes are solid pyro but people are making liquid fueled and chemical pressure rockets on their own.

Starship is currently more profitable than Falcon for Starlink with zero reusability, which is why the changeover is happening now.

I'm pro musk. I wanted him to go all the ways and become a multi trillionaire, prop up a government that subsidizes space at the expense of everything else , and benefit himself as much as possible and dump it all into space which would lead to a space centric future.

Boeing is incapable of space innovation and are the originators of this horrible idea of gradual cost savings and not pushing the envelope.

The reusable rocket thing has been his biggest weakness. I guarantee midwit employees kept pushing for this shit.

I guarantee musk secretly hates all the reusable rocket fags and thinks of you as redditors.

bully for him. its all a grift to increase the share price of spacex that loses billions while taking in billions of subsidies of tax payer dollars but yeah haha im brown and on welfare cause you lost tranny

the reusable engine is the reason he can sell rides at all.
but, there are some places I agree. reusablility is only part of the goal, and some craft may be best built as single use.
and I must eat crow, I didn't think it was economically possible with our engineering, and considered it foolish to chase. I am, quite happily, wrong, so far.

It's still.. what 6 to 0 for Apollo to Luna vs SpaceX?

The booster was caught a couple times before, but the booster just goes up and right back down. Catching the ship returning from orbit a day later is more complicated.

The space shuttle returned from orbit over a hundred times since 1981, but it landed as a glider on a very long runway. Starship is also a fair amount larger.
Being caught by the tower allows the ship to be lighter and less mechanically complex since it doesn't need landing gear. The tower also acts as a crane to re-stack the ship onto the booster for the next flight, though we're still a ways away from that level of rapid re-use.

so they hit it. why hasn't anything come back? why aren't there people with those?
who do you think you are? talking a big game about going to Mars, can't even get to the moon and back?
