Damn I would've used the same image and the same OP anyway. We almost made the same thread
>>16251633womp womp
>>16251639MORE PEBBLES
>>16251637your image has a weird stain in the middle of it though
>>16251627>>16251637>video shows elon chilling for a moment, staring in awe of his creation>tim walks into the frame, stands next to elon, stares up agape and says "that's insaaaane"
>>16251641Yeah someone needs to photoshop Elon out of it and just leave Tim Dodd.
>>16251627SER PLS BE OF REMOVING THIS MANIPULATED IMAGE, IT IS NOT FOR THE PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
>>16251633>unbrilliants your pebbles
can someone link the it's not that easy in rocketry youtube video.
>>16251645now i'm imagining a video edit that removes all of elon's dialogue other than the occasional "yeah" and it's just estronaut spazzing out for 40 minutes
>>16251649Sprint is a terminal phase interceptor, how does that counter a swarm of orbital boost phase interceptors?
>>16251652remove elon completely so it's just an hour of an autist trespassing on spacex property rambling to himself
>>16251650https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ptPdlVAwFg
>>16251652I'm imagining an edit where it's just Tim Dodd saying that's insane etc.
>>16251652lmaoa supercut of "thats insane" would be funny
>>16251652I don't even know how to edit videos, but I'm going to do it after my finals.
https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1805329579755946315>Teams completed the launch readiness review, and we are targeting Tuesday, June 25 for Falcon Heavy’s launch of NASA's GOES-U mission from pad 39A in Florida. Teams are keeping an eye on weather, which is 30% favorable for liftoffFlorida is just not having the best time of it
>>16251658he recycled a few adjectives, but yes it would be great to have a supercut of both parts of estronaut basedjaking
>>16251658yeah hahahaha that's crazy yeah most peop-people don't even like know that its so insane man. *forced laugh*
>>16251659the easiest way to edit videos is to give a list of timestamps to chatgpt and ask it to translate that into an ffmpeg invocation.
>>16251659>>16251665please include the forced laughs too
>>16251663>It's 20 fucking 24 and satellites are still wrapped in mylar like a potato chipWhen will this stop?
>>16251666No need for gpt, I got the yt-dlp to work some time ago.
>>16251669if it's good for potato chips it must be good for microchips
>>16251627whoa, look at that OP!that's crazy, hahaha
>>16251669Got a better even more lightweight. not to mention cheap material for reflecting heat?
>>16251669What's wrong with mylar? It's a cheap insulator.
>>16251281That's crazy
>>16251669we need metamaterial shielding to redirect photons around the satellite. michio kalu has the patents
>>16251675yeah
So see yiu guys in 2 years for the next factory "tour"
>>16246581
>>16251627AAARGGHHHHHH
>>16251681That. Is. Insane.i mean cmon i can’t believe that this is even you know REAL ahahahaheh……..Thats crazy th-thats insane man like wow you know what i mean?
>>16251685bro that face lmao
>>16251693>>16251685
>>16251686They shook hands. This mean no more tours.
>>16251663>Florida is just not having the best time of itWe are officially in the rain every afternoon and evening part of the year with some bonus tropical rain storms to boot.Picrel is the rain we got a few weeks ago

I mean it’s just unbelievable you guys are LITERALLY catching the booster like thats insane you know its hard to even….you know fathom that this is REAL like most people don’t even know…..*tongue click* insane….
>>16251704Coconuts are an invasive weed that can survive in a wide array of tropical climates. Not native to the western hemisphere btw
>>16251697SpaceX need to develop their all-weather capabilities. This is a huge embarrassment.
Like i don’t even ugh… amazing
>>16251709As Wernher von Braun once said, "Coconuts belong wherever they want to go."
>>16251709Coconuts are not a weed, they are a woody not a herbacious plant.
>>16251709They are a very successful species that has conquered the world's tropical beaches in part thanks to humans.
>>16251718White people will be the coconuts of the human race, we will go where nobody else dares to.Like that’s insane man *hahaha*
>>16251717A weed is any unwanted plants. However coconuts are always welcome, so they cannot be weeds.
>>16251716And as he also famously said, "You put zee lime in zee coconusse und trink it all togetzer"
>>16251723Basedalso i’m quite glad /sfg/ has found a new funny gag to cling to, the lipniggers were getting stale, they are definitively not insane woah thats crazy man.
>>16251711
>>16251652>dude what about a thermal camera inside the rocket, and a firehose that sprays cryogenic propellant at a hot spot?>Elon just walks away
>>16251735>THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TIMthats insane

>>16251746it would be better to have a second skin and between it and the inner skin to flow the liquid propellant before feeding this warmed fuel into a holding tank ready for the landing. in this way the heat can be transferred to the engine where its obviously more useful.
>>16251748Old shit breaks and there's a long way to a proper workshop for repairs.
>>16251748micrometeor damage? or did one of the astronauts go drill-crazy again?
>>16251746the hot spots that matter have cryogenic propellant behind them already
>>16251753>drill-crazyPlease, this isn't /pol/. We know how fucking shit Russian engineering is and how clumsy their "fixes" are here.
>>16251746All the propellant is smashed up against the heatshield side already due to G forces during reentry
>>16251753it's becoming obvious at this point that starliner is haunted
https://x.com/Starlab_Space/status/1805321733768921513
Link the part 2 of the tour pls
>>16251755From the way the hole was, we can tell the hole was drilled after the part was painted, the drill bit skated around on the part before it found purchase, and there was no evident remnant or residue of any patching compound that might have been applied before launch and then failed once in space.highly likely the hole was drilled in space.

>>16251774oh i remember them now, the inflatable
>>16251757Reminder that an astronaut died there on June 13th and the cover up continues
>>16251771I wouldn't call it the "new" Axiom SS but it is another commercial space station.Kind of surprised no one is buying the ISS. Feel like that every country could use the cash infusion right now.

>>16251778>June 13thOkay, fill me on the schizo theory. Thought we saw Tracy Dyson make it back in.
>>16251748Imagine if this was a gateway style station around Mars, 8 minute comms delay with earth, a huge leak or electrical fire or a space suit EVA emergency. No mission control. You and your crewmates need to know how to do everything
>>16251785OH NO NO NO

Suddenly a lot of them start posting there.

>>16251794thats what you do with your subjectsalso its xxx now
>>16251766Thanks
>>16251788doubt nasa will be doing many pointless publicity stunt spacewalks around mars tbf
>>16251798twix (right)
>>16251787>schizo theoryNot spoonfeeding a well poisoning redditor
>>16251796yeah
>>16251748>Spacewalk canceled after dangerous water leak started spraying ice out of the suit>He was almost discovered
>>16251803If I'm not incorrect, then you need to have some sort of really good explanation to explain why we DID NOT see Tracy successfully make it to the airlock where she would've been more or less safe, especially since repressurization would've begun immediately, and would've only taken an upper maximum of 10 minutes.Usually, this borders on schizo-levels of dedication to the convoluted explanation. Forgive me for calling it a schizo theory.
>>16251765Don't you think that Russia would use it to emberass the US? They have lots of reason to do that but chose not to.
>>16251812They blamed America, and then regretted it and walked it back big time with equal haste
>>16251794The supporters who believe in their leaders follow the footsteps of their leaders. There are also 12K+ spacex employees not all of them have social media accounts, some do, some dont.
>>16251787I think the theory is that the medical emergency training sim wasn't actually a sim and the crew lineup for the following spacewalk changed because the one guy we were expecting to go out didn't because he's in the corpse wiggler.
>>16251794Where's the video?
>mutts still carrying water for their loony dykes sabotage wew
>>16251819Wasn't it Rogozin who blamed America? Those accusations were quickly retracted by the higher ups.

>>16251822That would've been June 12th then(I'm reading through an archive and they mention that as yesterday.) As far as I can tell(which was very limited because I did ONE google search and looked at it for 38 seconds,) the 13th was the space walk where they had the leak.
ift-5 will be the most critical spacex launch in their entire history, tied only with falcon 1 flight 4.
>>16251753>>16251755>>16251765>>16251825Russian techs installed a gyro upside down, causing the notorious inverted rocket incident. They've been declining in quality for years, mostly due to low wages. We'll likely never know but I'd bet on russian technicians drilling a hole and then not bothering to report it.
>>16251766Anyone have another link? This one just seems to reload constantly
>>16251830Okay, I retract my previous statements. I read a bit more into this. June 13th was the originally intended date.I feel like they wouldn't cover up Dominick's death though, not without a VERY good reason.A shame that none of the cameras point inside of the station. Imagine being able to see from within the observation station.
On a scale of Apollo 1 to Challenger at what stage of the flight back to earth will the wicked witch melt?
>>16251826it was more than just rogozin who spread it and the higher-ups who rebuked it never really made any statements of fact one way or the other>But deputy prime minister Yury Borisov rejected Kommersant's report, saying that "it is absolutely unacceptable to cast a shadow either on our cosmonauts or on American astronauts," RIA Novosti state news agency reported.>He also stressed the ISS was "a unified group where there are no political disagreements."you've had lots of denials from the american side but never any full explanations or any rationale for why we're so confident it had to have been drilled on the ground. no investigation reports made public. i can't make any claims to know what happened but it sure looks like there was something funny going on.
>>16251845Ill go with challenger on this one
>>16251834kek
>>16251842>I feel like they wouldn't cover up Dominick's deathThere are people who think NASA faked the deaths of the Challenger crew. It doesn't have to make sense.
>>16251845Challenger (the Apollo 17 LM (it will crash into the moon))
>>16251832True, thunderchad will rejoyce when it explodes and SpaceX goes bankrupt.
>>16251845Slightly past challenger, and we'll get audio recordings just like the russian ones of the astronauts realizing they're dying and cursing Boeing
>>16251739>>16251746Kek, I've asked that on here a couple of times as a shitpost, did he really ask Elon about this?
>>16251779ISS is an old junker, no one wants it
>>16251832That already happened when IFT-4 successfully completed all its goals
>>16251845>Wicked WitchSplashdown, obviously
>>16251846It's diplomacy.Making it public and airing out the laundry would be very embarrassing for whomever is at fault, and for projects like the ISS where international cooperation is the aim, you can't really expose your partner as incompetent without threatening the cooperation itself. Thus the awkward situation and the mutual cover up.Whatever happened, Rogozin obviously violated that principle, probably because he didn't care much for the ISS since it's so expensive, and became even more expensive after dragon, since NASA stopped paying for flights at exorbitant fees (I remember him making public comments on this). His superiors obviously disagreed with him, thus their more conciliatory language.
>>16251902Yes it's accurate word for word. Quite early in the first video, while they're still at the starting location. Tim first asks about active cooling eg transpiration then comes up with his brilliant idea.
If I understand it correctly, Elon said that footage from internal cameras has shown the red-hot steel.
>>16251886we all know thunderchad secretly want's Elon to succeed, however he still needs to pay the bills and rent and Jeff Bezos has offered to pay him weekly to make SpaceX hit pieces.
>>16251905sometimes reproducing a successful result is harder than getting the first success to begin with
>>16251812"Russia did it on purpose to frame America" is a very different narrative from "the hole was merely an accident on the ground"
>>16251916>>16251905if the booster doesn't ballistic trajectory the tower and OLM into a new crater, and the tower catch is successful on fifth flight, it will completely upend the heavy and superheavy lift market without launching a single payload to orbit. That's a big IF of course, but the potential energy of success is, to quote Dim Todd: "that's insane!"
>>16251919I meant that if American astronaut did it, Russians could reveal war. They're in a proxy war with US, why would they care about being diplomatic?
watch a safety window literally pop out and fall off of the #Boeing #Starliner capsule on its way to the pad. what a joke.https://x.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1805326296026615907

>>16251925Goes to show that space is actually easy if this flying turd can shamble its way to an ISS docking
>>16251922very insane indeed as tim would say if the catch is a success I can imagine overnight elon would win over all the left wing anti space commies
>>16251925bros they really are gonna die...
>>16251931Nah, they'd freak out because it'd lead towards the Shadowrun timeline or some shit.>>16251925Is that a test article, the uncrewed test or the crewed test vehicle..?
>>16251926>I'll get you for this Boeing!>You and ULA too
>>16251922Is the tower catch for IFT5 actually confirmed? He said IFT4 would have it too but obviously that didn't happen
>>16251940nothing's ever confirmed until launch day but he's said they're still trying it it a few times since
>>16251909It was less about the ISS being expensive and more about Rogozin wanting to get his old job back. He was originally the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the defense and space industries, which meant that he was the boss of the the previous head of Roscosmos, Igor Komarov. Being vocally anti-western on social media framed him as very patriotic supporter of President Putin. This sort of brown nosing might have won him a favor or two if it hadn't been for the fact that he he broke the cardinal rule of government work in Russia: don't make your boss look bad. Under Rogozin's leadership corruption got bad enough that there were actually trials and convictions over it while Russia's space capabilities slid in a way that was visible to and frequently commented on by foreign observers, so he got demoted again to being senator of Zaporozhye Oblast where he could collect a much deserved ass full of shrapnel.

>>16251986why not? You don't seem to be familiar with some of the fuck huge concepts that were all designed to launch from the ground. Starship in no way maxes out physical limits
>>16251947high quality postthanks anon
>>16251986you could make an 18m variant but really short and with the same amount of propellant and engines as 9m. it would be lighter weight and would be able to launch in hurricanes and land on 40 degree inclines on other worlds

>>16252042https://fireflyspace.com/news/firefly-aerospace-adds-alpha-launch-capability-on-wallops-island-virginia/They don't just still exist, they're actually expanding. I'm not sure why they feel the need for a second east coast launch complex. It might be a sign they're planning on abandoning their claim for SLC-20 in favor of consolidating onto Northrop's preexisting facilities in Virginia.
So I get why they don't kaunch in bad weather historically but the launch cadence is getting high enough where it's becoming a detriment. How major of an impact is bad weather? How bad does the weather actually need to be to actually cause serious problems? If x% of rockets get destroyed in bad weather have we reached a total launch capacity in good weather to justify it?

>>16252078>>16251952What a fucking mess
>>16252085The best part is no part (hypergolic engine superiority)
>>16252071That's how you would get a moonbase reactor into orbit Kerbal style
>>16252085The RS-25E is supposed to be significantly cheaper and easier to produce than previous blocks. I remain unconvinced, but the the RS-25D isn't exactly a high bar to have to clear in that department.

>>16252087It's so much simpler! And with the improved density you could fit over three thousand tons of hypergolic propellant into a shuttle external tank while shaving off over two tons of dangerous and unnecessary foam insulation.
>>16252089I think the “reduced cost” is still some absurd number on the order of like $140 million/engine

>>16251967he said in the starship update right after ift-3 that they were only planning a virtual tower catch for 4 and that if things went well, they would go for a real catch on 5
>>16251940well they are doing work on the chopsticks rn and they also got an fcc license for a tower catch or water landing for flight 5.

>>16252119the temp difference in space between light and shadow is huge, I wonder if a small company like sierra space can engineer a literal space balloon in an environment like that without it exploding.
>>16252149There's already an inflatable on the ISS and it hasn't popped yet
>>16252143i hadn't picked up on how he didn't realize the ship had landed and THAT was why he was calling the spacex employees morons for celebrating
y'all see the most recent UFO cringe? lol
>>16252152Yeah. It was honestly something else to witness his face drop upon unmuting and realizing that he hadn't witnessed what he thought it was.Honestly might watch his IFT-5 stream if he makes one, because I wanna watch that happen in real time this time.
>>16252158>might watch his IFT-5 stream if he makes onehe won't, you can tell all the A-list seethers are afraid to make videos addressing IFT-4 now. if IFT-5 blows up they might jump back in.
>>16252165Given the post-stream seething that's mentioned in the video, I think he might actually be that delusional.Otherwise though, I'll pal around with you guys. It'll be fun to watch it with someone else, especially now that my dad is going back to work and can't be around early in the morning to watch a launch with me.

going back and watching some old EDS videos and one goalpost movement i'm noticing is that a few years ago the line was that starship has no commercial applications because nobody needs 100t payloads in LEO. now the gripe is that starship will only ever be useful for its commercial application of putting 100 tons' worth of starlink sats into LEO.
>>16252216>100 tons' worth of starlink sats into LEO.That's not a real commercial use
>>16252218if starlink isn't real commercial use then they're about to be making more money off of fake commercial use of the f9 than real commercial use so it's a distinction without a difference

>>16252407it looks more like shuttle every day. i too remember when the shuttle had its tanks stretched, forward flaps moved leeward, and a secondary ablative heat shield added.
>>16252398hobbitlab still seething lmao
>>16252410shuttle was a strictly LEO vehicle that flew once every 6-12+ months
>>16252165Been waiting on that pressure-fed coward for weeks. Don't think he's going to mention Starship ever again.
>>16251914>thunderchadMore like Thundercope kek. I have never in my life seen someone cope as hard as he was during Starship's last test flight.
>>16251922Even if the booster crashed into the launch pad it wouldn't be game over. The worst thing would probably be if they miss and it hits the tank farm near the pad. The booster will more or less be empty by the time it's trying to land so there wouldn't be some huge fireball as if it was full. The tower is pretty sturdy, I don't think there would be any major damage even if the booster hit it.
>>16252194TDS
>>16251940They are going to attempt a tower catch, but if there is anything with the wrong with the booster they will abort into the gulf of Mexico.
>>16252398Malding kek
>>16252435Yeah if it hits the tower the damage will be minimal, thing will just crumple like a coke can against the absolute unit of the tower. GSE getting hit would be the worst but they really do have the landing programming dialed in from falcon 9, I think it will be fine.
>>16252078The RS-25 is a beautiful engine with a lot of history and it makes me sad that they're just disposing of the last few shuttle engines we have. I dont know, put them on display somewhere or something.

if they attempt a tower catch on ift-5 then how are they gonna stop the hotstage ring from slamming into the ground? it can't have landed very far from the booster on ift-4.
https://x.com/NASA_LSP/status/1805338164233396656
>>16252470Hotstage was ejected over 2 minutes before descent. It landed nowhere near the booster.
>>16252265>Some fucking chink runs up to the still steaming capsule to plant a flag so the bugmen can larp that it was some kind of pinpoint landingLmao
>>16252010They were testing the new suits in a mock up of a HLS segment like last week I think. I haven't seen anything else really about the interior except fan renders. I imagine it really just depends on how the starship testing goes and how much free space they are going to have inside the ship in its final form.
>>16252475and yet it was still right next to the booster less than a minute before touchdown. so how far away did it land, mr. expert?
>>16252016Based I haven't seen anything from them in a while. Glad they are livestreaming with NSF.
>>16251652elon minus elon
>>16252028My heart breaks for Tim since that Japanese guy pulled out of the Dear Moon mission. I can only imagine how excited he was for it even though it wasn't going to be soon. I remember when he made a video about it and surprised his family saying that he was going, and buddy looked so happy. It's my ultimate dream to be able to go into space at some point in my life. If someone told me that I was going, only to just cancel it I would be heart broken. Tim is a bit funny and autistic but I enjoy his content. I wish he could get a seat on a Dragon capsule like one of the Axiom missions. Instead of sending some billionaire with money to burn up there give the seat to someone that's pretty much dedicated their entire life to educating others on spaceflight.
>>162524871 min travel at mach 25
>>16252052I mean, I don't think a little rain shower is going to really hurt the rocket but I can understand if there is high winds or thunderstorms. Especially if a crew launch.
>>16252500dw Tim will get to go to space but non anytime soon, maybe in the late 2030s and that's still okay.
>>16252500I feel like out of the whole crew, he was the only one that actually cared. Both funny and sad. Like telling your kids they're not getting ice cream but one of them really wanted one.
the official starship entry plasma color guide:orange - goodpurple - goodyellow - not ideal but probably fineblue - probably badgreen - very bad
>>16252500No to me his whole response seems quite immature. Did he really take it as absolutely set in stone that this trip would go ahead? Surely he could see that things would be greatly delayed at best. If it were me I'd have had an attitude of "I'll believe it when I'm in LEO"
qrd on starliner?
>>16252487It's visibly slowing down at a different rate than the booster, and they both have velocity towards the launch site as this is happening, so it can only land short of the booster even assuming it's not leveraging the little cross range it has by deliberately flying askew.If it's anything like falcon, it's targeting the water, moving the impact point as it's "gliding" to just offshore and then moving it further as the engines come online and translates onto the landing zone.If the grid fins lose any control authority, it ends up in the drink. If the engines fail to light it ends up in the drink. The interstage adapter can only ever land short of the booster if both those things happen so it physically cannot come anywhere near ground infrastructure.
>>16252515It's NOT stuckLet's put a stop to these rumours right now
>>16252515it's a complete embarrassment for boeing that they don't know how to install helium valves but nobody's stranded or in any danger and everyone's setting themselves up for disappointment if they think there's gonna be a happening during reentry
>>16252487>BUT IT WAS BRIEFLY IN FRAME 50 SECONDS BEFORE LANDING BURN
>>16251627This is bound to cause irreversible damage to the local beatle populations. What can the government do to prevent this tragedy before it's too late?
>>16252403Reminder boing got more money for shitliner than spacex did for the dragon.
>>16252445maximum kino if it crashes into the tower and crumples in such a way that it gets stuck on the tower
>>16252536and then 5 minutes later the hotstage ring comes in like the world's biggest discus and 9/11s it
>>16252538They can land a fucking office building. I'm pretty sure they can do the math to safely ditch the hotstage ring in the drink.

>>16252561Why do people who don't even use what they lease have an opinion?
>>16252561KWAB I HATE BOZOS
The eternal pork barrel rolls ever onward
>>16252585maybe he thinks the FAA's capped blue origin at 0 launches per year, it's only fair
>>16252585Okay, let's cap New Glenn to 5 launches a year then.
>>16252585Unironically pathetic
>>16252592that's what we call a non-binding constraint
>>16252585>heat and noise generationImagine being a seething Blorigin employee stacking your "pathfinder" one more time while the neighbors are launching every hour.
>>16252531No they haven't, not yet. It's a fixed price with payout being at milestones. Boeing only gets money when they actually reach those goals. Sure they managed to squeeze a little extra money out of nasa before dragon got going but they have no reason to do that now.But yeah if/when starliner reaches it's milestones the payout will have been bigger for starliner.
>>16252585
>>16252585Hmmmm let’s try to handicap the best thing to happen to space since Saturn V—that will be conductive to millions of people living and working in space!
The catch test they're doing with B14.1 shows two catch points under where the grid fins would be, same for B12, are they really that confident confident in the roll control for a catch?
>>16252608kek
>>16252606Oldspace hates competition and Blorigin firmly asserted itself as oldspace the moment it became a glorified engine supplier.
>>16252609it seems very a very small protuberance (she said)
>>16252561why doesn't this bozo just start launching the fucking rockets alreadyfucking faggot
>>16252620Because it turns out the turtle was nothing but a lazy ass litigious cunt all along.
Reminder that 96 days remain until EscaPADE's Mars launch window and the only photographic evidence we have of New Glenn flight hardware is this
>>16252609you know the center engines thrust vector right?
>>16252620It's supposed to be launching this september.
>>16252620They have one contracted with NASA to fly to Mars this september (I think october now)
>>16252620he should light that candle
>>16252617It's only relatively small
>>16252633so long as it gets the job done i always say.
>>16252585>>16252561At this point I am 100% convinced that Bezos does not actually like space.
>>16252627I hope it blows up UGH please please please let me get what I want
>>16252585Oh my God. Fucking fine BO half a billion for this intentional obstruction to human spaceflight and demand a public apology from that bald-headed FAGGOT
>>16252633i don't... even when you're right underneath it you don't quite... get the sense of scale... it's just insane. i mean, the scale just doesn't make sense, there's nothing else out here to like compare it to, you know, if... if... this is a huge protuberance jutting off a ginormous rocket in the middle of nowhere with no buildings, no like, no anything. so it's... it's just so hard to... hard to put to scale.
>>16252640It'll probably blow up on landing first time so we're probably in for at least one good explosion.
I prefer Starship with landing legs that isn't caught by the tower.
>>16252644Nobody makes orbit first time.
>>16252646Vulcan did.
>>16252627>>16252631>Elon threatened by a senator to not go to Mars in 2018>Bezos allowed for some reason
>>16252645Away with you. I don’t want the landing leg mass. Might as well throw wings and landing gear on while you’re at it, faggot
>>16252645The speed of turnaround they're looking for doesn't like landing legs though.>>16252647Vulcan was not ULA's first rocket. It shook the payload apart too.
So the one rocket that doesnt have any parts wasted and is worked mostly on private land or shared properties like LC-39A, has also been extensively checked over by the FWS, FAA and likely other agencies like the EPA, has to be limited in launches per year? Meanwhile New Glenn hasnt flown once or had all these checks and will be ditching its upper half? Glass houses, Bezos. Maybe a countersuit is in order.
>>16252645you'll to wait for the lunar lander model
>>16252175Jerky also becomes brittle when sufficiently dry (too dry for good jerky). The question is how dry would astronaut corpse become in hard vacuum. The astronaut is much thicker than objects that are typically freeze dried.
>>16252649BO is just oldspace wearing new skin
>>16252649blue drastically underbid for escapade too, something stupid like $25 million and i'm pretty sure it's just so bezos could say he beat elon to mars
>>16252652New glenn isn't BO's first rocket either.
>>16252659I should have rephrased it to first orbital rocket.That fucking New Shephard sounding rocket carnival ride ain't it.
>>16252659yeah but BO's first rocket didn't reach orbit its first 25 times
>>16252628Obviously, but a few metres could be the difference between a safe catch and a wonky booster half resting on its' grid fins
>>16252500Wow, that's so crazy!
remember a couple of years ago when bezos tried becoming a popular twitter guy by posting normie politics takes for a few months before he gave up? i wish he was still doing that so he could get bullycided over this.
>um you are flying too much, please stop >yes, for the environment, sure whatever
>>16252554>>16252551The Chinese subtitles are translations of the poorly transcribed English subtitles. When Elon and the estronaut were talking about forward flaps it was "Ford flaps" in the English subtitles and "福特" in Chinese. Similarity for "braking" -> "breaking" -> "打破"

If it went through repeated 90 minute freeze thaw cycles floating around outside the ISS, I couldn't say. The premise is stupid though, I don't get why you wouldn't just chuck it out retrograde with the arm and let the body deorbit eventually. I wouldn't mind being "buried at sea" like that.
>>16252857Any of these scenarios also apply to landing on legs, and the tolerances for catching is something like 30° or rotation and tilt aka not a problem even if things start to go wrongWhy the fuck is /sfg/ suddenly popping their pants over the idea of a tower catch?

what about this
https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/06/nasas-commercial-spacesuit-program-just-hit-a-major-snag/>Almost exactly two years ago, as it prepared for the next generation of human spaceflight, NASA chose a pair of private companies to design and develop new spacesuits. These were to be new spacesuits that would allow astronauts to both perform spacewalks outside the International Space Station as well as walk on the Moon as part of the Artemis program.>Now, that plan appears to be in trouble, with one of the spacesuit providers—Collins Aerospace—expected to back out, Ars has learned. It's a blow for NASA, because the space agency really needs modern spacesuits.

>>16253301>"Collins has admitted they have drastically underperformed and have overspent on their xEVAS work, culminating in a request to be taken off the contract or renegotiate the scope and their budget." why does fixed price only work for spacex? why is everyone else a lazy sack of shit who can only do 20 year cost plus contracts?
>>16253333If you've never had to set up a budget in your entire life, Space is HARD (and expensive please gib).
>>16253333spoilers: cost-plus would also work fine with spacex.
>>16253333Unironically because engineers don't grow on trees. SpaceX has a complete monopoly on talent right now. It won't even change, the SpaceX culture will compel these guys to start their own companies instead of jumping ship to someone else in the space. It's already happening. Most are pre-revenue, some are promising. This sort of mishap is going to completely vanish from space flight as former SpaceX percolates through the industry
>>16253313man you're delusional. That pic is from the college where Harry Potter was filmed. LOoks so similar to your pic
>>16253333They dont have a elon musk. Reminds me of a story elon told way back. They needed climate control for satelites while transporting them and storage before they stacked them on falcon 9. And his engineers came with a massively expensive set up to him, and he asked why the fuck is it so expensive for a few ACs? The answer was "this is how the other satelite launchers do it in the US"Then elon just told them to use off the shelf AC's and enormously cut the cost. When you dont have a guy like that the eggheads can go over budget fast.

We also have proof that Tracy is undoubtably alive, considering she was the one reporting a suit malfunction.
>>16253374It is a real channel. It was hacked for this launch (or IFT-4), they set it up with legit videos (from other channels), they probably have a script to do all that by now.

THAT was Berger’s breaking news?? Collins pulling out of new suits? You have axiom and spacex, I wouldn’t worry
>>16253458please let this be real, millions must be concussed
>>16253448
>>16253462yeah and SpaceX basically has a EVA suit already, just with no articulation in the legs during EVAif they got the contract I don't think it would take extremely long to deliver what the contract asks for
>>16253462spacex suits are nowhere near ready for completely detached EVA activities (yet)
>>16253462Axiom is busy doing entirely different suits with different reqs and Polaris Dawn suits are intended for short EVAs, not 7+ hour work shifts.

new artemis 3 mission profile: HLS lands and everyone just stays inside since they don't have suits for EVA. they stare at their phones in bed and order doordash for 2 weeks.
>>16253492what would doordash to the sea of tranquility cost
>>16253470what IS the intended cadence anyway?i imagine the first depot launch + filling campaign would be one launch a day for 11 days
>>16253467>>16253469I was thinking longer-term. Not like the collins proof of concept hardware was anywhere close to being lunar-capable anywaysI guess yeah it’s a shitty setback but my point was—was NASA really ready expecting expedited Colllins-oceaneering-ILC dover suits soon??

We did it, bros
>>16253627Last I checked this is done intentionally. They landed them together originally but it lead to problems.
>>16253470It will have a negligable impact
>>16253641Yeah the problem where SpaceX cannot maintain simultaneous radio communication to two different vehicles.

>>16253627>the solution to an extremely complex engineering problem should appeal to my sense of aesthetics
>>16253497According to the FAA proposals it's 44 launches per day out of cape
>>16253647lmao
>>16253653this but unironically
>>16253647There will never be a swap. ULA designs and builds around engines. With their safety cuck excel spreadsheet style of engineering, there will never be an engine swap without redesigning the entire fucking rocket.

>>16253680Misread the 'a day bit'
>>16253629genuine question, how do people look at this and still call SpaceX a failure
>>16253697Massive amounts of cope usually.>Hurr durr Government subsidies!>Herp derp NASA gave them those technologies!
>>16253686>Move near a rocket range that has existed since the 1960's in 1995>complain about noiseit's like retards who buy a house next to an airport then demand there be a nighttime curfew
>>16253697dc-x did exactly the same thing. a triple core dc-x placed a weathersat in GEO in 1995. you're not impressing anyone.
>>16253696It's really funny to compare how clean Falcon's exhaust plume compared to ULA et al. Even Starship looks (almost) clear
>>16253697They hold whatever opinions they're told to
>>16253667What is that supposed to mean? It was meant an explanation, not an attribution of "fault".If BO didn't have much money, those years might as well not have existed as far as development time is concerned. What counts is the number of engineering hours spent, not the number of calendar days passed, and engineering hours cost money. Bezos wasn't giving BO much money, and they never got any COTS or CRS style contract. BO was just a small think tank hobby project for Bezos at the time; he was focused on Amazon.
>>16253697The D in EDS stands for Derangement.
>>16253697Human mind is a reasoning machine. It can reason anything from anything to anything. Hitler is alive? Elvis is black? SpaceX is a failure? Moon landing hoax? TimeCube/Flat earth? etc/etc.There are 8 billion+ and each one prompts their brain with different input and can generate infinite number of responses.
>>16253705>>16253713It means Jeff Bezos has had his rocket company for 25 years and his failure to do anything with it does not excuse his failure to do anything with it. It's shameful is what it is.
>>16253713you caught yourself so fast i didn't have time to issue a sperg correction.
>>16253686>>16253702There was literally nothing there until the 1960s when NASA started developing the entire area from scratch. Before this it was only a hurriedly surveyed area scanned by Ponce de León.Anyone complaining can and should move.
>>16253720True. I misremembered. However I believe it's still true they never bothered to develop an F1 equivalent to prove themselves.
>>16253703>DC-X>orbitkek
>>16253703They also forget to mention that many of the DC-X employees went to work for Blue Origin lmao.
>>16253301Elon will do itThere is no doubt in my heart(The content of my mind is irrelevant. I am retarded)
>>16253719A company with, say, 10 employees is not the same as a company with 100,000 employees, and should not be compared or expected to perform the same feats. This should be obvious, and I don't see how such basic business facts are shameful.The main reasons BO has existed for 24 years without yet reaching orbit is:1. The company didn't have much money or employees during the first half of its existence. This was because Bezos hadn't truly opened his wallet yet, and they didn't get COTS/CRS style contracts2. Their first orbital rocket is technically ambitious. The goal is not just to reach orbit, it's to have a rocket that is highly competitive, or at least would have been highly competitive if SpaceX hadn't leapfrogged them with Starship while the BE-4 was stuck in development hellBO is also inherently slow, however 1 & 2 are the main reasons.
>>16253726back in the x-prize days all the smart people were saying that small launch was a dead end (true) and suborbital tourism was where the money was. bezos at amazon never had any trouble telling investors to fuck off if he thought he had a better idea but when it comes to spaceflight he just lacks either the aptitude or the interest.
>>16253654>44 launches a day>4x 200T orbital refueled launches a dayLETSFUCKINGGO
>>16253719There's nothing shameful about making a suborbital rocket. It's not my ambition and same goes for most people here, but it's not wrong. Bezos hasn't made any promises or grand declarations like Elon has, there's nothing wrong with being slow when he treats the company like a side project. The lawsuit are shameful, but that's it
ULA and BO teaming up to hamper Starship on the Cape, of fucking course.Can't allow them to get away with it
>>16253629I called and they refused to help me.
>>16253654That's a launch every half hour, 24/7
>>16253737Bezos chose to sit on his ass and get nothing done, and now he cries like a bitch when other people have accomplished things he didn't.
>>16253738SpaceX's award for the COTS contract and the CRS contract for 12 launches was worth close to $3B in 2024 dollars. That's not small money. Of course, the problem with pursuing that business strategy is that there were limited slots.Suborbital tourism might have seemed like a smart idea as a stepping stone because it's a way to monetize a Grasshopper style test vehicle. I think the flaw in that plan are the extreme quality control requirements when you're carrying humans.
>>16252737I didn't care much for the soijaks, I'm tired of them, but I'm not tired of Bezjaks.And those lines really are good, but I would have said "it's just a sounding rocket WITH SEATS."
>>16253752Your snarky replies suggest you're emotionally invested in the matter
Cape Canaveral will literally be just SpaceX and Blue Origin (after ULA purchase) butting heads and vying for launch range dominance soon with NASA occasionally swinging their big orange dick around once every year or two
STAGED>>16253760>>16253760>>16253760
>>16253571I think this is AI? I can't tell anymore, maybe Dalle-3
>>16253134hearty kekold
>>16253753i think the big issue was everybody badly underestimated how hard reusing a suborbital craft was going to be. the assumption appears to have been that once you built something that could be reflown once then you'd get to the point where it could be reflown every day in pretty short order.
