>The history of the ISS, which took till 2011 to complete, has not been all plain sailing. One early sign of trouble was a 1984 report of the US government Office of Technology Assessment, which spelled out in embarrassing detail that the object of international cooperation in space was not to enhance NASA’s capabilities, but to distract US allies from developing their own. It cast a new light on previous cancellations such as the Space Shuttle flyback booster, to which the British Aircraft Corporation had made a major commitment, and highlighted the subsequent under-use of the European Space Agency’s Spacelab module, which a 1997 report described as “Europe’s most expensive gift to the people of the United States since the Statue of Liberty”.Why are Americans such ingrates?

>In his book Endurance, Scott Kelly describes his battle, throughout his career, to get NASA to take the issue of carbon dioxide build up seriously. In the battle to save Apollo 13 and bring its crew home, a device had to be improvised to scrub carbon dioxide from the air, bringing the partial pressure back from 15 mm of mercury, which was far above the limit for safety, to just 0.1 mm. >In Kelly’s investigation, he found that the US Navy does not allow carbon dioxide to rise above 2 mm (0.3 %) even if the noise of air purifiers risks giving away a submarine’s position. NASA regarded 6 mm as the upper limit and routinely allowed 4 mm, at which the astronauts suffered headaches and lapses of judgment, extremely dangerous in space. Permissible levels in spacesuits were far lower. Neither astronauts nor cosmonauts had complained for fear of being replaced, but Kelly had decided to retire after his 340-day stay on the ISS, and the parallel study being conducted on his twin brother on the ground made him too valuable to bring back early, so like Chapman’s Homer he could ‘speak out loud and bold’.

>>16287745>spaceguy5I legitimately feel bad for that guy since everytime spacex has a win he gets even more demented. Just an astounding self-inflicted mental trauma he's given himself that deepens many times a year
That Musk posts on /pol/ and ignores /sci/ just goes to show that pretty much everyone knows that /pol/ is a high IQ board than /sci/ is
>>16287740This. We need to build bases on Titan and Callisto so that we can investigate the gas giants and their satellite systems. We also need to build a base on Pluto to prepare future humans for the construction of the Pluto Relay which will be used to travel to outer systems.No idea why we're so obsessed with Mars. I understand Selene because we need to test things first, but Mars is just a dead rock.

I guess I asked the wrong question.. what's a good way for a small team to get a small payload to orbit? can you a small team build something like spinlaunch? how much would it cost?also, might be a dumb idea, but let's say you have a small solar PV farm and can produce 5MW at peak or whatever. how would you use that to get to orbit?
>>16287620>donate to Trump>have his ear>convince him to fund nuclear hydrocarbon production>get help developing Mars tech>convince him to fund oil platform conversions for an ODST rapid response program>buy deprecated platforms on the cheap from the gulf>elon gets funding for large scale launch infrastructure and a head start on in situ methane production>US gets permanent energy dominance and ODST marines

>>16287752mars is close and has all the necessary raw materials for a self sustaining colonysending something to titan would be much more difficult
>>16287873Fully industrialize Mars and you can get to the entire solar system easily. First things first. Imagine the mass you could move on a world with little gravity and little atmosphere, imagine the volume of resources you could dedicate when your people came to know their home the same way. The solar system will be Martian
>>16287751it's a fake post
>>16287873mars is too small and isolated. give it a couple of large moons and double the planet's size.
>>16287874yes, that is something Musk mentions regularly
>>16287778>>16287775Mars is rich in CO2. There's 3.8 liters of water per cubic meter of Martian soil. There's brine flows that have been confirmed on the surface of Mars on dunes, and there's massive ice caps. If at any point you'd want to do explosive mining on Mars, sulfur is integral to achieving that and all other elemental options are all in support of that. Sulfur concrete would be good for basically building a hydrophobic layer for radiation shielding on the surface in the event of a particular nasty geomagnetic storm or simply for building a massive underground reservoir that's a few hundred cubic meters in volume. Which would be really cool to see on Mars one day, where a surface and underground colony basically would have a subsurface fresh water "lake" in which aqua flora and fauna can be grown and harvested and humans could scuba dive into.

>SpaceX was awarded $267K on July 15 for "Special Study for Emergency Response." A similar contract was awarded when NASA considered Frank Rubio on Dragon. During the July 10th press conference, Steve Stich, program manager for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, mentioned NASA had looked at Dragon contingency per Butch and Suni waiting for Starliner to be cleared for return, so this may be related.>And we have a NASA response for context:>"The study is not related to Starliner. NASA continuously explores a wide range of contingency options with our partners to ensure crew safety aboard the International Space Station. Over the past couple of years, the agency has worked with its commercial partner SpaceX to provide additional return capability on the Dragon spacecraft in the event of a contingency."https://twitter.com/NASASpaceflight/status/1813981369204126008

>>16287726>build overly complex cuckbox rovers and probes with tight mass constraints >this happens
>>16287726They couldn't manage the budget and the budget increased 30%. This kicked off a review on whether the project could be launched at all. Given the $1 trillion/y in interest rate alone today in the US, the republican party wants wants NASA to cut the laggards. NASA doesnt want to cancel SLS. So its cutting smaller programs that are failing to meet the standard. 30% review is there as a fail safe for when programs are deviating. You dont want to reward failure.
>>16288274When are they going to switch gears to mass production? Will they? If Starlink revenue continues to approach the NASA budget I could see SpaceX and the new network of space startups just doing exploration missions themselves
>>16288278Ideally NASA/SpaceX would cooperate to explore together. But with SpaceX building their own war machine and war chest to fund their war efforts, SpaceX will likely eventually lead their own missions due to difference in priorities + capabilities of SpaceX. For smaller companies, they will have the choice of following SpaceX's leadership to take a chance/risk or staying with NASA's leadership. This event will be the real fracturing between future of mankind from government led to commercial led.
>>16288276>You dont want to reward failure.ironic considering what is happening with SLS, its basically eating all other programsbut killing mars return is promising, perhaps they will kill SLS after a few missions, get the companies/people working on it to start doing something actually commercially usefulStarship will open up whole new industries so the 53 gorillion different companies might as well start applying themselves there instead
>>16288276>NASA doesnt want to cancel SLSPretty sure most of NASA would be extremely happy to crash SLS with no survivors (if they could reaffect the budget elsewhere). Its congress who want the pork to keep flowing.
>>16288278>Starlink revenue continues to approach the NASA budgetThere's no way->projected $15b this yearoh
>>16288281SLS and ISS are 2/3 of the funding
>>16288281SLS is already slated for death, the transition to commercial SLS in the 2030's is essentially an admission that SLS is doomed. Nobody is gonna pay for any commercial payloads for SLS when starship is flying.
>>16288283The nasa budget for human spaceflight is on ~7 billion. Having twice that will be extremely useful.
>>16288283Thats still nothing as atleast a good chunk is used to pay for past debts and infrastructure build costs. They get real when its >$30-$50+ B. Thats when the game begins to unfold. When they hit $100B/y, its gonna be huge
>>16287726>rover was already finished and the government only saved 84 million with this.It should've been msr or sls.
>>16288291They went $84 million over budget over a tiny rover.
>>16288294How much over budget is sls and msr?

you can likely achieve a level of angular momentum that yields some benefits to say shaving off some years from lightspeed; timespace, time as a distance, yet that is the problem on the inverse (proper time) you still hit like 98%, what's the point if you blew up a ton of rockets to get there, the point is you want to double your speed eventually basically, not 98% of double.
>>16288490at least we're getting close to the point where starship will start launching dozens of times per year and it'll be impossible to act like it doesn't exist anymore, even for those people. probably by 2026, 2027 at the latest
