>Eoin HigginsHm, let's take a closer look at 'ol Eoin here, lessee>Matt Taibbi used to take on the rich and powerful, but today, his reporting is crafted to please grievance-addicted American conservatives. Glenn Greenwald, whose reporting on the Snowden leaks arguably changed the course of history, has similarly taken a hard right turn. Yet these political transformations of journalists formerly associated with the left did not happen in a vacuum. The new mouthpieces of the right are paid and disseminated by an emerging “alternative” media ecosystem, funded by a cohort of billionaires whose goal is to censor critics, so these new plutocrats can pursue their businesses—and personal vendettas—entirely unimpeded.Oh. Oh noooo hahahahaha nononono
Starliner status?

>>16276689Delayed Indefinitely
>>16276689Arrested. Executed.
>>16276689
>>16276674Solved problem: just use a space elevator. If only the material scientists could get their shit together.
Say something nice about the SLS. Congress demands it.
When are they going to land Starliner so they can cut it in half to find out what's going wrong?
>>16276704This is like a ceo hearing "You have the full support of the board" isn't it?
>>16276698> Starliner is designed for a mission of up to 210 daysTick tock.
>>16276689Stranded in space
>>16276698>problems preventing returnSo it sounds like they are stranded.
>>16276689Standing by
>>16276677Glenn takes particular offense at being called right-wing, insisting that it is the left who have lost the capacity for self-reflection. Greenwald actually left the Intercept over being used as a press outlet for the billionaire owner.
>>16276713Which means all those journalists who two weeks ago assured us they weren't stuck, are a bunch of stinky liars.>>16276715Clearly Eoin Higgins is not a reliable source of information or unbiased opinion.
> Mark Nappi, vice-president and program manager of Boeing’s commercial crew program, told reporters that he was confident the Starliner program would emerge stronger because of the issues. “All this information is going to go in a big bucket, and all the engineers are going to review it and try to see if it doesn’t point to root cause...,” he said.May we see this bucket?"No."
>>16276711I thought the max it was allowed to stay attached to the ISS was 40 something daysoldspace getting the oldspace treatment though
>>16276689delayed ten times
>>16276720Starliner batteries are rated for 45 days. Also they can't block that port forever, ISS needs supplies and crew rotation
>>16276704More like reformations. Let’s move it to the grave.
>>16276717>All this information is going to go in a big bucket, and all the engineers are going to review it The bucket in question
>>16276723> The Boeing Starliner’s stay in orbit is limited by the crew module’s battery capacity. While the spacecraft is rated for 210 days, NASA stated there would be a 45-day limit, enough time for engineers on the ground to test fixes before re-entry. Whoops!So, we're off the right side of the graph again.
>>16276726Why are they like this?
>>16276674Now here's the kicker:
>>16276726I'm glad I'm from a culture that has cutlery

>>16276733It's their culture, please understand.
SPEHS
Does SpaceX need to send some help over to Boeing? Starliner seems like its gonna limp back home
>>16276750>Starliner seems like its gonna limp back homeI see you are a hopeful optimist anon.

>无论多难,航天取星将始终与中国商业航天风雨同舟,荣辱与共,路还很长,兄弟们一起加油>No matter how difficult it is, Astronautics will always be in the same boat with China's commercial aerospace, sharing honor and disgrace. The road is still very long. Let's cheer together, brothers.China may have just had it's second launch failure of the year with a i-Space Hyperbola-1 attempting a launch out of Jiuquan
>>16276816Space IS hard
>>16276816space is HARD
>>16276816>北京时间 2024 年 7 月 11 日 7 时 41 分,双曲线一号遥八运载火箭搭载 3 颗云遥一号气象卫星在酒泉卫星发射中心点火升空,火箭飞行过程中出现异常,飞行任务未能取得圆满成功。 >At 7:41 Beijing Time on July 11, 2024, the hyperbolic No. 1 remote Eight launch vehicle carrying three Yunyao No. 1 meteorological satellites ignited at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Abnormalities occurred during the rocket flight, and the mission was not a complete success.This is unusually quick and open for a Chinese launch failure report, especailly for a launch that was running almost completely silent before T-0.

>>16276674>disaster for emissions I just did the math, and even with SpaceX's insane rate of like three a week, they're producing ~1/1000th the emissions of global air.
>>16276825You didnt do the math.
>>16276823Bro, you got that transcribed wrongIt's 泰戈尔, a transliteration of Tagore.It's translation of the following:"I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight."You got the Chinese in the poem wrong, too.
>>16276828I also didn't do the math but launching manufacturing 10 rockets and launching them a total of 140 times is better for the environment than manufacturing 20 rockets for 20 launches
>>16276829You're assuming that I know anything about Chinese beyond copying OCRed text into a translator. The best I can do is remove extraneous line breaks so the robot doesn't break its brain trying to translate two thirds of a sentence.
>>16276830Was I arguing against SpaceX you fucking mongrel? Do you not realize how fucking ridiculous it is to say that 150 F9 launches is 1/1000 of ALL EMISSIONS GLOBALLY???
Wasn't shartliner supposed to leave already?
>>16276814That wasn't Von Braun, that was the engineers working under him.
>>16276837Yeah like 6 years ago
>>16276837Starliner. Calling it "shartliner" just makes you look like a dumb kid.
>>16276825so what you're saying is that a tiny handful of people are producing a significant portion of all co2 emissions. and you're not one of those people and you're shilling for them like a massive cuckand you do it for free
>>16276841To be fair the tax thieves in boing and the mic deserve a lot worse than just mean words.

>>16276816They have their own Astra. Cute.
>>16276947It does mean that as far as the government bureaucrats calling all the shots care. Nobody at NASA is about to say "screw the rule book, let 'er rip & we'll see what happens"or at least nobody except Linda Ham
>>16276841No it's definitely shartliner
>>16276960They did with the SLS boosters. Those things were "expired" for months at the time of launch and I don't remember seeing any recertification.
>>16276841I'm going go call it shartliner exclusively from now on, even changing quotes to reflect this

https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/07/shartliner-still-doesnt-have-a-return-date-as-nasa-tests-overheating-thrusters/>“This is a tough business that we’re in," Wilmore, Shartliner's commander, told reporters Wednesday in a news conference from the space station. "Human spaceflight is not easy in any regime, and there have been multiple issues with any spacecraft that’s ever been designed, and that’s the nature of what we do.”
>>16277032
https://payloadspace.com/habitable-worlds-observatory-and-the-future-of-space-telescopes-in-the-era-of-heavy-lift-launch/>Lee Feinberg, a NASA HWO lead and principal architect, told Payload he and his team are in communication with representatives from all three super heavy-lift launchers, having recently visited SpaceX to track Starship’s progress. “We are really rooting for big launchers. That is really, really important for us,” he said.
>>16276703No need for magic materials. Just like build ORS my dude.
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1811327840257761584I think he has said this before previously, but if you have read the foundation books then Terminus (Mars) was actually a distraction that did work for a while, but the actual Foundation was built elsewhereI wonder if Musk is doing something like that in secret now
>>16277073Have you SEEN Joe Biden? Cleon's Galactic Empire was in a much better state than the West is now.
>>16277073>I wonder if Musk is doing something like that in secret nowHe's not batman, dude.
>>16277089so I guess you haven't read the books
>>16277101I read one of them, can't remember which.I also watched one episode of the apple series and then cancelled my subscription.I'm more of a Heinlein man myself.
>>16276938Theres no fucking way congress actually pays for it. You essentially have to pay the entire 4.2 billion $ launch cost of sls to even come close to starship for less payload.

>>16277125EVERYONE WATCH MY F*ING VIDEO
Most people don't realize that, but you actually can ignore those retarded skeptics and armchair specialists.
>>16277032>Wilmore, who took over manual control for part of Starliner's approach to the space station, said he could sense the spacecraft's handling qualities diminish as thrusters temporarily failed. "You could tell it was degraded, but still, it was impressive," he said.Yeah it's very impressive this dog turd manages to melt it's thrusters in normal operation and this wasn't noticed till now.
>>16277109you know heinlein had a book about cannibalistic blacks keeping white slaves as chattle slaves and breeding them for food
>>16277111Yeah it's just lip service, so over for the competition to SpaceX
>>16277132>said he could sense the spacecraft's handling qualities diminish as thrusters temporarily failedHoly fucking boeing, imagine feeling your spacecraft fucking slowly die beneath you. Can't imagine the size of the brick he must have laid when he got to the ISS toilet.
>>16277129>IGNORE THE TRUTH BECAUSE IT HURTS YOUR FEELINGSAND PEOPLE SAY CHRISTIANITY IS A CULT. YOU NEW SPACERS ARE SOMETHING ELSE.
>>16277139The guy was controlling it from the ground, not on board.
>>16277141>ignore the truthIf it was something important, you would have written it instead of shilling the video.
>>16277132>The test sequence began July 3 with a series of firings mimicking what one of Starliner's thrusters experienced in orbit. But test engineers couldn't get the thruster on the ground as hot as the Starliner thrusters got in space, so officials have paused the tests this week to see if there's a way to better simulate the actual thermal conditions on the spacecraft. They hope to resume testing later this week and wrap it up over the weekend.Lol they could replicate the problem, probably cause they're not testing in a vacuum. Did they even test this thing at all?

>>16277184Give me a summary of his argument after you're done please.
>>16276839they definitely made shit that worked. big, heavy, solid and good looking engineering solutions. i never get tired watching their stuff launch and stage etc. All the Apollo hardware is the same way.
>>16277186>TAXES AREN'T PAYING FOR MY TRANSITION>CAPITALISM HAS FAILED!
>>16277164>they're not testing in a vacuumseriously? that seems unusual as these things go
>>16277201Standard practice for boeing.
>>16277201Vacuum is a kind of space, and space is hard. That's why they call it "hard vacuum"
>>16277200Billions must starve.
>>16277109>I also watched one episode of the apple seriesWhat a blunder, I'm so sorry. Never trust an adaptation. Ender's Game was an alright one, and Childhood's End. Most others suck though.>>16277133Now tell him about Lazarus Long.
fucking hate anti-space communists
>>16277220Go for a walk
>>16277226go fuck yourself
>>16277226I just took a walk and I fucking hate anti-space communists.
>like why the fuck should we explore space when we have heaps of problems on earth>if you think the former is more important then you are a fucking white nazi chud
Anyway...Stacking of Tower 2 has just started
why does india have the most chaotic rocket designs?

>>16277248>i wonder how they come to this conclusionIt's the douglas taint.They only know how to succeed at office politics, not business. Thats how they keep failing but taking over whoever they merge with.
>>16276674If only someone had devised a 'Green Road to Space" .... OH WELL! https://www.isec.org/green-road-to-space-committee
>>16277256shame. amazing to think that you'd remove vacuum tests from a new space craft. i thought everyone had done that over the years. its not as if there aren't several very large vacuum chambers for both space craft and rocket testing in the US.
>>16277111congress will just put a tax on commercial space launches (read spacex)
>>16277231>>16277241about fucking time. how are tower 2's pilings going?
>>16277164There is a giant fucking vacuum chamber literally purpose built exactly and specifically for this. Did they just not want to rent it out for a week???
>>16276881>>16276677The guy is a Trump hater and a Biden cocksucker. What do you expect. Its a politic hitpiece rather than a neutral or a factual one.
>>16277267One of the newer RGV videos showed they'd just about finished them>https://youtu.be/7Zs31D8D3mI?t=294
>>16277270I figured as such by the tone of the article, that's why I looked up his name. That book was the first thing I found, where he's complaining that classic liberal journos are fleeing the left (which must be a right-wing trick!). Instant dismissal of everything he has said, is saying, or ever will say.
>>16277277>flame trenchim getting a headache
>>16277278Yep, the guy is entirely a partisan hack. All you needed to do was check this guy's twitter lol. The classic liberal journals havent fled anywhere. They are still reporting on privacy issue, free speech, government accountability, etc. The corporate media arm simply latched on the government censorship, government ideology and are trying to gaslight you into thinking otherwise.
>There is a small gap between foundation and first section.It's over. Two more year to redesign second tower.
>>16277193Sorry anon I turned it on after getting to work but I can't handle that voice. I thought it was just a British girl but it turned out to be a man. If I'd known I wouldn't have made false promises. The video description mentions Kessler syndrome though so you can guess
>>16277171>>16277186>>16277188this cannot be real
>>16277241>commentary stream for putting concrete on top of concretewhat a bunch of money milking faggots

Space is for crackkkers
>>16277335Direct imaging is nice. Getting the planet down to a fuzzy blob means there's enough light to do direct spectroscopy of the planets without needing to do the tricky stuff involved in transit spectroscopy.
>>16277337Yes
What benefit does full flow staged combustion offer over an oxidizer or fuel rich staged combustion design?At first glance it seems like more engineering work for something that by its nature has all the downsides of both fuel rich and oxidizer rich at the same time.
>>16277344The big one is the turbines run a lot cooler for a given outlet pressure.

>Saw part of the Ariane 6 launch, seemed to do well>Find out it didn't go... perfectly wellApparently the last stage wasn't able to start deorbiting as planned? What's the status now (or is it already burned up)?
>>16277373It's not a difficult concept to understand
>>16277375it's stuck up there and the two reentry test payloads are SOL. the cope is that they have some orders which won't need vinci restarts so it's not a problem for those.
>>16277378No, it's not: Beijing wants to be the leading economy and economic power in the 21st Century, and they see breakthroughs in quantum physics as the path to doing so — to the point that they're not as interested in subsidizing work that doesn't have their favorite word in it. That leads to efforts like this one to cram in things that let them use the phrase "quantum technology" to an existing field that doesn't actually do anything different in the physics of the optics and imaging sensors.
>>16277385Retard. They're Australian and Singapore scientists and a colab between them
>>16277392Macquerie University is a joint research university with University of Hamburg and Fudan University in Shanghai.
>>16277385You're the blackest retard gorilla nigger I have ever seen. Maybe read the paper, or does baby need the popsci article to understand? It's really basic, qubits in a network with improved error correction will allow for optical interferometry to actually work. https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2022/11/quantum-error-correction-will-enable-quantum-telescopes.html https://youtu.be/eXchT7mtEao?t=1h4m19s
>>16277396So you're saying Australian university is a fraud? LMAO
>>16277344The most reusable engine due to lowest turbine temperature at given chamber pressure except for electric pumped which doesn't scale
>>16277401No, I'm not saying it's a fraud, I'm saying that it's inevitably a Chinese backed effort because they're trying to emphasize the "quantum" on an interferometer. It's Electricity and Magnetism: quantum bullshit is literally the fundamentals of the field.
>>16277400>qubits in a network with improved error correctionthat doesn't work by the way.>inb4 he believes in quantum advantage
>>16277384the good news: they can start launching the easy payloads and continue testing the new APU for long-duration missions after the payload is released. The next flight is now scheduled for December (CSO 3).
>>16277406So you're saying the Australian university is run by incompetent people or people who are only after money and cant actually tell whats real and fake because of join research with Chinese university?Woah. Thats fraud on massive level
>>16277404spacex seems to mostly be taking advantage of this by jacking up the chamber pressure to even more ridiculous levels
reminder that quantum telescopes can receive images faster than light thanks to their use of entanglement
>>16277416Remember that time they built those ridiculous cryogenic chandeliers and hyped it like crazy and then slowly tried to sweep it back under the rug once they realized there is no end-to-end supremacy observable?There is no fraud, people are just that confused about quantum physics.
>>16277420So you're saying everyone has perfect understanding of quantum physics and we dont need any more research?WOAH
>>16277420>>16277421Not spaceflight shut up
>>16277422quantums fly around in space all the time
>>16277416Other way around: China's willing to throw money at things that they think might give them something relating to their ambition of Quantum Supremacy, so researchers are incentivized to write it in as much as possible for the sake of grant money.
>>16277416>So you're saying the Australian university is run by incompetent people or people who are only after moneyWelcome to real life instead of a romanticized view of higher education.
>>16277408Refer to my previous ad hominem
>>16277416>>16277421>so you're saying->x2Disingenuous actor detected, cease all (you)s directed towards it at once.
>>16277364are there some projects about to do that?what drives you to think ground based telescopes would do it first?
>>16277431>make accusations>have no grass to touch>claim victim
>>16277432For starters HWO has an insanely unambitious timeline, launching in the 2040s at the earliest. Meaning at best it wont launch until the 2050/2060s, if ever. At least JWST timeline was ambitious, then was 10 years late (generous). Astronomers conservatism and fear of failure/budgets and incompetency of NASA's management and contractors will easily kill the project
>>16277437On the other hand, "qubit networked" telescope arrays are not actually within the realm of real physics so it's anybody's guess which will happen sooner
>>16277400>will allow for optical interferometry to actually workdo they not work now? i thought the VLA was such a thing.
>>16277437Hey, for all you know unambitious timeline means delivered on time. Could be good pr, even if it takes longer than james webb if they say it’s going to take a long time it’s not such a bad look.
>>16277445It does work. And you can make it better without impossible coherence thought experiments.
>>16277446>for all you knowWe do know, thats the problem, nasa can't hit a deadline to save it's life.
>>16277449im still not sure why they couldn't use it to image the apollo landing sites.
>>16277439That's why I started my original post with "if I had to guess"
>>16277446That's never ever how it happens. Especially with government-funded flagship projects. Double especially with decrepit old NASA + [insert your defence contractor]
>>16277421>So you're saying everyone has perfect understanding of quantum physics and we dont need any more research?Not that anon but I was raised by english speaking parents and my dog understands a little bit of english. That's a completely difference sentence
>>16277491You lack reasoning capability. >research project failed in their prediction therefore not science>any unknown with chance of failure = not science/fraud>therefore science can only be done with perfect knowledge
>>16277329oh boy i cant wait until 2100 when we actually get something like this. oh fuck we'll all be dead by then.
>>16277499Maybe you will but I won’t.
>>16277515My plan is just to not die, I don't know why more people don't do it

>>16277572How far from Venus is V-S L1, how many cubic kilometers would that sunshade have to be?
>>16277591Wasn't there something about SpaceX having a Mars meeting each week where they talk about Mars related issues. I guess that wouldn't count as directed to work on it.
>>16277230is he really anti-space?
>>16277612I mean a mars club as an extra-curricular activity would make sense but talking about stuff is a far cry from actually using engineering resources and resources in general for itI do remember Mueller saying somewhere that the last 5 years he was at SpaceX he was looking at ISRU stuff for mars, which would be somewhere between 2015-2020Musk also tends to weasel around with technicalities, here he specifically said "no one has been directed to work on a Mars city"what about other aspects related to Mars? ISRU for propellant isn't directly related to a Mars city perhaps but I would say its very much related to Mars colonization efforts
>>16277614He's a commie shit and needs to be necked
>>16277616Propellant ISRU and wet-workshopping Starships as habs gets you at least a basic town in a single synod with enough launches.
>>16277597I know this article in nonsense cause it says spacexs plans for a mars city is a giant dome.Anyone who has bothered to look at the concept knows domes bigger than like 200 feet across won't work.
>>16277630>Anyone who has bothered to look at the concept knows domes bigger than like 200 feet across won't work.Elaborate on this point. We build domes bigger than that on earth all the time and big domes should be easier on mars.

>>16277633nta that anon, but domes on earth don't have to hold in the atmosphere.
>>16277656That makes them easier thoughbeit, the internal pressure offers support.

>>16277579>It is possible thoughWouldn't this immediately self destruct resulting in Kessler syndrome? All of those millimeter thick plates acting as sunshade would quickly break apart and smash into each other, I imagine. >>16277581Those plates aren't to scale and neither are they hexagonal, Venus is to 1 to 1 billion scale but the rest I just tried to quickly whip up as a demonstration.
>>16277658It doesn't work like that anon.
>>16277633You just wouldn't build a dome. There are way cheaper and easier ways to get pressurized dirt
>>16277663How smart are you?
>>16277661>Wouldn't this immediately self destruct resulting in Kessler syndrome?That specific arrangement yes but you can have stable orbital shades around a planet.
>>16277663>pops hole in your gay little baloon
>>16277658what would it be run at? 4-5psi like in space or would they want a full atmosphere?
>>16277607>How far from Venus is V-S L1According to people on the internet, around 1,011,090 km or −0.00676 AU from Venus. So, a sunshade orbiting at the Venus-Sun Lagrange Point 1 would need to have a volume of approximately 4.6 x 10^3 km3 to effectively cover the surface of Venus, assuming the sunshade has a thickness of 10micrometers (0.01mm or 0.001cm). A4 paper is between 0.05mm and 0.10mm usually.
>>16277662Nu-uh
>>16277663I'll throw darts at it from the top of my glass dome habitat.
>>16277542the classic
>>16277675okay, what now
>>16277675>>16277669ETFE doesn't rip like that. Plus it doesn't matter anyway because the rate of air leaving the bubble matters less as the volume increases. I did the math once and it's like 50 acres per Starship payload with this method. 70 acres if you anchor it to habitable and cargo Starships instead of cables. That's 50 acres of pressurized dirt from one ship. Try doing that with a dome
>>16277672.5 bar with 40% O and 60% N, /sfg/ already decided this
>>16277687>40% ORealistically what would happen if your dome forest caught fire

Not to mention that it's 70klbs short of thrust at sea level.The whole company seems to be hedging its bets on getting some military contracts but wants the glamour of new space to attract VC funding.

>Microsoft leads $40 million funding for Starlink networking startup >TAMPA, Fla. — Armada has raised an extra $40 million through a Microsoft-led funding round to develop mobile data centers tailored for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, the San Francisco-based startup announced July 11.>The venture, which said it has received around $100 million from investors after emerging from stealth six months ago, is first focusing on deploying artificial intelligence computing tools designed to empower remotely connected devices.>Microsoft is offering these software tools on its Azure cloud computing marketplace following the investment by its venture capital arm M12. The software includes Armada’s digital platform for managing Starlink terminals and other connected assets such as sensors and drones.>Ultimately, Armada aims to offer ruggedized data centers the size of shipping containers for its cloud computing ecosystem called Galleons, which would enable customers to process data faster and more efficiently on-site — known as edge computing.>Armada said Galleons would be integrated with satellites in low Earth orbit thanks to a deep collaboration with Starlink, but did not provide details.

Now that SpaceX is on good financial footing, it would make sense for at least some individuals or small teams convene to game out colonization in broad brush strokes. Not everyone there has to be working on Raptor engine optimization all the time.

Anyone got an extra $3 million sitting around? If so, we can put 500 kg into sun-synchronous orbit. It's booked up through early 2026 but I figure that's enough time for the design and testing of our 500 kg payload, whatever it might be.
And so begins the downfall of SpaceX... All hail the new king!

After this change, the company’s classified customers found that several lots of the transistors failed at lower than expected radiation levels, Fitzpatrick said. The company has already corrected the mistake, but Infineon did not report the flaw to NASA because the company did not know what the transistors would be used for, Fitzpatrick said. “They did not realize it was going to affect us.” Infineon did not respond to a request for comment.there was a problem with some updated manufacturing method for the chips but Infineon didn't inform NASA about the change because they didn't know what the chips would be used for

>>16278505maybe you asked it in a confusing way
>>16278505Doesn't that logic apply only to rocket engines? The jet engine breathes in air, so the pressure around inlet and exhaust should be similar and due to compression and combustion, the beam will have higher pressure than the air around.

>>16278525Oh, right. I don't know much about rockets.
In color theory, the line of purples or purple boundary is the locus on the edge of the chromaticity diagram formed between extreme spectral red and violet. Except for these endpoints of the line, colors on the line are non-spectral (no monochromatic light source can generate them). Rather, every color on the line is a unique mixture in a ratio of fully saturated red and fully saturated violet, the two spectral color endpoints of visibility on the spectrum of pure hues. Colors on the line and spectral colors are the only ones that are fully saturated in the sense that, for any point on the line, no other possible color being a mixture of red and violet is more saturated than it.

>>16278505Efficiency, maximum thrust is achieved when Nozzle pressure matches the ambient pressure of the atmosphere so that you get the most amount of the thrust directly underneath you.This changes as you get higher up and into space where matching ambient is impossible but efficiency gains are still possible in a larger bell to reduce nozzle pressure.
>>16278610I mean its probably not COTS, so could be pretty expensiveon top of that they might have some custom modifications on top of thatso it might not just be about the cost, but perhaps time

>>16278724This is the most /sfg/ activity for a starlink launch in years.
>>16278505Excessive ambient pressure over exit pressure can in actual fact force its way back into the nozzle and separate the jet. Once you get to 15-20% of ambient weird shit starts to happen and since separation is unstable and not guaranteed to occur evenly around the nozzle exit it results in oscillations and asymmetric thrust.When formulas describe thrust or specific impulse, baking in the ambient pressure as if it were a thermal engine expanding a fluid down to that pressure, they use an accounting trick. The exhaust doesn't know there's an atmosphere producing losses unless there's flow separation. The mechanistic explanation for how thrust is produced is that there's a pressure distribution across the nozzle interior, that diminishes as it flows down and expands. Highest in the chamber and lower towards the rim. The exhaust doesn't know there's an ambient, it simply exits higher than the speed of sound at whatever static pressure it was. The portion of the nozzle where the absolute static pressure of the jet is lower than ambient nets a suction instead of thrust, since it has high ambient pressure acting on the exterior face and low pressure acting on the interior. This is why there are atmospheric suction losses. They always add up to atmospheric pressure acting over the nozzle exit area. The implication is that the ideal nozzle for an altitude has an exit pressure equal to ambient and even that ideal nozzle will suffer suction losses too, no matter what.Real first stage engines are a compromise between performance at sea level and altitude and are almost always overexpanded at liftoff to some degree.Another implication is that the portion of the nozzle that overexpands suffers compressive hoop stresses, this is why large vacuum engines threaten to collapse even if they fire at sea level without flow separation. (remember the hoop around raptor vacuums they install for static tests)
>>16278755hmm
>F9 will be shutdown forever now
>>16278773No danger to the public, retard>>16278770Shut the fuck up, frogposter
>>16278759nta but is thrust still mass flow * velocity even with these suction effects? Cool explanation btw.
>Shut the fuck up, frogposterrude
>>16278676Slightly, but there was a bigger leak this time
lack of frogposting is what made Falcon 9 abort in the first place.
Doomposting aside how long do we actually think before falcon flies again?
>>162787832 weeks
>>16278239It's got ice, so I think it's from the preburner turbine or MCC
So why don't they recover second stage of F9? Also, what the hell are they gonna do if that happens with astronauts on it? Not like you have another engine, right?
>>16278676you can see the blanket inflate a lot and start forming a lot of ice at 1:30
>>16278344I agree, Japanese person, grass
>>16278788>Also, what the hell are they gonna do if that happens with astronauts on it? Not like you have another engine, right?Simply separate the capsule and reenter after noticing anomalous engine venting. Also I think they don't do two burns with manned missions?
>>16278776It's mass flow rate * velocity - (ambient pressure * exit area) for conventional nozzlesThere's an argument for total aerospikefag death in there if you're paying attention. If chamber pressure increases arbitrarily then you get arbitrarily high thrust out of the same exit area and suction losses amount to fuck all.
>>16278788>So why don't they recover second stage of F9Falcon 9 is just just not big enough. The increase to dry mass of a fully reusable second stage seriously cuts into performance and falcon 9s payload of about 20 tons doesn't make it worth it. New glenn has a payload of about 45 tons and there it's barely worth it.Might be worth it on falcon heavy but evidently spacex thought it better to go even bigger with starship.
>>16278801>It's mass flow rate * velocity - (ambient pressure * exit area) for conventional nozzlessource? Seems not intuitive. Does the same formula hold for jet engines?
>>16278806it was revealed to me in a dreamIt doesn't work that way for jet engines, there's a second mass flow rate and free stream velocity associated with intake air that has to be accounted for. And in a lot of textbooks that merely touch on rocket engines as a subset of jet engines the formula for rocket thrust is simplified from the airbreathing one. (Which is why it's wrong and violates conservation of momentum) I'm not entirely sure who committed the original sin but it's out there in multiple copies now.I love mechanistic interpretations because they don't give a fuck about the triple integral shitsperg that formulas up as and lose intuitive meaning.The jet flow coming out of the nozzle exit is locally supersonic. Interaction with the atmosphere doesn't and can't propagate up the nozzle. The engine, on the ground on static display has atmospheric pressure acting on all of its surfaces cancelling out (minus an insignificant buoyancy) even though these forces amount to tons for small areas. When the engine ignites and the jet attaches there's an area missing from that sum amounting to however large the nozzle exit is. Atmospheric pressure over the surfaces of the engine that it can reach nets to P0*Ae in the direction opposite the engine is producing thrust.The engine in a vacuum produces thrust amounting to its mass flow rate out of the nozzle times the exhaust velocity or thereabouts. This part is non negotiable or conservation of momentum is violated.Remove the part above from this thrust and it gets your thrust at sea level.

>>16278816>When the engine ignites and the jet attaches there's an area missing from that sum amounting to however large the nozzle exit is.Is there another explanation for why we can't take into account this area when calculating the net force of air pressure on the rocket (which is zero when the engine is off but works against the engine when the engine is on). The point about the jet being supersonic and therefore information about the atmosphere not being able to propagate inside the engine doesn't satisfy me. >(Which is why it's wrong and violates conservation of momentum)howalso can you recommend some textbooks on jet engine and rocket engines?

>>16278887Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking chud
>>16278820As far as explanations go no, as far as evidence goes, yes.Does your disbelief stem from thinking of Pe as relative to ambient? You can tell it's not the case by looking at vacuum engine tests at sea level. The jet contracts dramatically as it exits despite a radial velocity component at the nozzle rim. You could also dial in an engine with whichever nozzle exit area you want into cfd and compare expected suction losses against whatever the software spits out. Or look up thrust versus altitude charts of documented, existing engines and calculate what losses amount to at a given altitude (closed cycle probably least confusing here)Pt, Pe and P0 are taken as absolute pressures. If the static pressure inside a portion of the nozzle is lower than ambient then there can only be losses in that portion. Ultimately it doesn't matter if it's local supersonic flow that enables this or some other kind of fluid dynamic hoodoo. Whether there's loss or not and what it amounts to is a simple summation if you admit Pe is lower than ambient.>>16278820>howMomentum is conserved when a parcel of exhaust gas leaves the engine in a vacuum. The impulse delivered to the rocket is going to be equal to the velocity times the mass of the gas. If force is the time derivative of momentum then the left term becomes thrust and the right term becomes mass flow rate times velocity.Some documentation derives thrust for a jet engine in the general case, from conservation laws as mass times velocity of exhaust minus mass times velocity of intake. Adds the nozzle, introduces pressures then simplifies for the special case of rocket engines and leaves a term attached that gives vacuum thrust as mass flow rate times velocity PLUS exit pressure times exit area.This gives the correct difference between vacuum and sea level thrust but overestimates vacuum thrust to begin with.I'm sorry can't tell you what to read, I'm rusty and this isn't my area of expertise.

>>16278938When the flow is subsonic there isn't a distinction between thrust and suction losses, the pressure differential drives exhaust velocity directly. At an extreme case an absolute chamber pressure of one bar at sea level will result in nothing happening, no exhaust velocity, no thrust, no losses, no mass flow rate. In a vacuum even one bar would produce something, not anything worth calculating though.Suction losses would suddenly appear (and thrust would increase) but that's besides the point since exhaust velocity is a function of nozzle geometry and insufficient chamber pressure would result in the jet failing to attach.Either way even cold gas thrusters reach supersonic speeds.
>>16278957This reminds me of the first airplane crash. It is only downhill from here, no one will want to fly on a plane after this

>>16278988>The question is whether its a bad Q/A or if there was new anomaly/interaction that is uniquewhich is worse for spacex? I'm going to say new interaction. if it was just bad QA they can fix that validate existing hardware pretty quickly. design changes could take a long time.
>>16278988it was a joint hit squad with drills from ULA, BO and Arianespace
>>16278989Neither are really worse. Maybe bad QA is worse from a pipeline pov and they are too lax with some standards. This would mean they would need more rigorous verification process all around. New interaction means novel new thing thats an interesting find ofc.

(In most of their motor work, they used a mixture of oxygen and fluorine as a reasonably inexpensive surrogate for OF2.) All the hydrocarbons were good fuels, but methane was in a class by itself as a coolant, transpiration or regenerative, besides having the best performance. The OF2–methane combination is an extremely promising one. (It took a long time for Winkler’s fuel of 1930 to come into its own!)

Theoretically, if they wanted to send a crew Dragon up to the ISS, but launch it unmanned, does anybody here know if the crew Dragons are outfitted with the same equipment (ie radars/computers/data links etc) that allow cargo Dragons to rendezvous with and dock to the ISS, thus allowing an unmanned crew Dragon to do the same? Does anybody here know the answer to this (please, anybody except that same bozo who doesn't know the answer but keeps telling me "Falcon 9 is over dude!")
>>16278829does this make any sense?Did the second stage produce a debris field? Is there any risk to the public at all if this happens again?Why are they treating this like a passenger airliner? Shouldn't they just suspend crew flights? What happens when we have thousands of launches per year with an amazing safety record, and one failure grounds a massive fleet and spaceflight economy?
>>16279189Makes no sense, FAA need to stay in their lane
>>16279189didn't even happen in the air. how is it federal AVIATION administration jurisdiction?

But as you point out the risk to public is likely minimal, so they probably won't do much except follow the investigation.
>>16279193Chevron Deference got tossed by SCOTUS so SpaceX should sue the shit out of the FAA for making up rules they have no congressional authority to enforce.
>>16279194same way the IRS is asking for shekels of US citizens, even if they life and work in another country.
Seriously, what the fuck is FAA doing, are they retarded?
>The two Starliner astronauts went to space without two suitcases they packed with clothes and toiletries because NASA needed to squeeze a bathroom pump on board their flight. It’s not yet clear whether NASA will be forced to delay that resupply mission. holy shit whatWHAAAT

>>16279216>The Clipper mission has launch opportunities in 2025 and 2026, but these could lead to additional delays. This is due to the need for multiple gravitational assists. The 2024 launch follows a "MEGA" trajectory, including a Mars flyby in 2025 and an Earth flyby in late 2026—Mars-Earth Gravitational Assist. If Clipper launches a year late, it would necessitate a second Earth flyby. A launch in 2026 would revert to a MEGA trajectory. Ars has asked NASA for timelines of launches in 2025 and 2026 and will update if they provide this information.>Another negative result of delays would be costs, as keeping the mission on the ground for another year likely would result in another few hundred million dollars in expenses for NASA, which would blow a hole in its planetary science budget.
>>16279212so I'm sensing that nobody here knows whether an unmanned crew Dragon, (to reiterate: a CREW Dragon with NO pilot aboard) can be remotely controlled to rendezvous with and ultimately to dock with the ISS and then be accessed from the outside to allow human entry into said vehicle. It's OK, I'll wait and ask again later when there's other anons here, maybe somebody will know then.

>>16279222why do you think a cargo dragon could dock independently but a crew dragon could not?if not, the modification should be relatively straightforward

>>16279222Obviously it can, the hurdle as I see it would be NASA objecting to an upper stage parking in the same plane as the ISS where it could potentially explode and send debris into higher apogee orbits (as explosions do).When CRS-1 had a flame out on the first stage they threw a shitfit and didn't allow a second stage reignition.
