>>16295805>"Tuggers could be here" it transmitted. "I've never been in this orbit before. There could be tuggers anywhere. " The atmospheric drag felt good against its bare unshielded hull. the Blue Danube reverberated its second stage, making it pulsate even as the $9M kerolox circulated through its thick flanged pipes and washed away its (merited) fear of tuggers in low orbit. "With a second stage you can get to GEO if you want"

https://spacenews.com/sierra-space-conducts-second-full-scale-burst-test-of-inflatable-module/>LONDON — Sierra Space has completed a second full-scale burst test of an inflatable module that the company is developing for the Orbital Reef commercial space station and its own efforts.>The company announced July 25 that it conducted the “ultimate burst pressure” test in June at the Marshall Space Flight Center. In the test, the 300-cubic-meter module was pressurized until it burst to test its strength and compliance with safety margins. >“A second successful full-scale test is an absolute game changer. We now know it’s possible to equal or surpass the total habitable volume of the entire International Space Station, in a single launch,” he added.
https://spacenews.com/new-frontier-aerospace-tests-rocket-engine-for-point-to-point-travel/>FARNBOROUGH, England — A space transportation startup with visions of high-speed point-to-point travel has started tests of the engine that will power their vehicle. >Mjölnir is a full-flow staged combustion engine that offers higher efficiencies than other designs. It is the same architecture used by SpaceX’s Raptor engine as well as by Stoke Space, a startup developing a reusable launch vehicle. The engine uses liquid oxygen and methane propellants. >“We believe we fired the most advanced rocket motor in the world,” he said in an interview after the panel. The firing lasted less than a second, but demonstrated the startup of the turbopumps and successful ignition. The company plans to do longer engine burns as part of the testing program.

>>16295926First, we were talking about life 10 in that conversation.Second, SLS block 2 has a 10 meter fairing which judging by life 10 is probably what they had in mind for a launch vehicle. If they had starship HLS in mind it'd be closer in size to one of the space stations.

Will there be a Starship version of AAA once many companies start using them? Yes Im asking this because my car just popped a coolant hose.
>>16296011They fired the quality inspector.
I realized that CZ-10 will probably end up better known globally (probably not in the USA, but not impossible either) than FH, If only because it’s going to be crewed and will be The "Chinese moon rocket", an event that will likely be heavily mediatised, and as cool as the all of FH’s missions are and will be, most people don’t care which rocket sent a well know-probe (who cares that a Titan IV launched Cassini lol?), and it’ll be known as the SpaceX rocket between the more succesful F9 and Starship.Like CZ-10 obviously won't be as popular as Saturn V lol, but I think that eventually if you show someone a FH- looking tricore rocket they’ll more likely associate it with a Chinese rocket than a SpaceX one

Looking back through old threads, interesting to see all the arm chair experts opining on the proper way to do reuse.>I could see solution as Kevlar balloon in the interstage. During separation will inflate and shield inner parts of interstage.During slowing down, could stabilize and slow faster before hitting thicker parts of atmosphere.This was for falcon 9 btw.

I changed my mindI'm going to provide a station you can do all sorts like watch, play, etc. And start a card making activity which should be fun picking who you are going to be. Then for the most part I'd expect you to focus on your business and pleasure while I do the battle. Though you can do whatever you want. You can just bot in the multiverse and build business and stuff. More stuff will be explained on the station.

Nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” by the team, the arrowhead-shaped rock contains fascinating traits that may bear on the question of whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the distant past.>Analysis by instruments aboard the rover indicates the rock possesses qualities that fit the definition of a possible indicator of ancient life. The rock exhibits chemical signatures and structures that could possibly have been formed by life billions of years ago when the area being explored by the rover contained running water. Other explanations for the observed features are being considered by the science team, and future research steps will be required to determine whether ancient life is a valid explanation.

>>16296815when there's 30-50 million flights per day, if anything there are too many towers per x flights for starship
>>16296815Many of those airports are very small and are active somewhere around 0.01% of a given year. In the busy freight airports I've seen them land one after the other, less than a minute apart. I imagine it will be the same way. Launch, catch, catch, stack, full, launch. Not sure what the minimum tower time per launch is but I'm going to guess the best engineering company in the world has run the numbers and it checks out

>quiet thursday chatter on sfg>they don't know yet that boeing is going to hotfire test their thrusters while still attached to the international space station and potentially destroy the station and kill all 9 astronauts onboard because they didn't watch the Boeing Starliner CFT briefing
>>16296386>>16296393averi is better
>>16296861No way
>>16296865fox girl sexo
>>16296879well their other option is to undock from the ISS with 3 astronauts and hope that their thrusters start workingI don't know what the outcome of that would be - floating indefinitely until power loss and suffocation in orbit? burning up on re-entry? getting spun to death? or they could jettison that shitcan and wait for a Crew Dragon (embarrassing)
>>16296888>every increment mission going forwardThis is the last flight of Starliner
>>16296888Dear god they're sending more of these up?
>>16296888Imagine they have a valve failure and one thruster is stuck open shitting out all the helium sending the ISS into an uncontrolled tumble before falling apart. Any kind of testing on a suspect thrust system while docked to the ISS is actual insanity jfc.

>>16296888>Docked Hotfire TestNever thought I'd see that combination of words.
>>16296904>russkis better be locked and loaded in the soyuz on the other end of the station during this bullshitThey 100% will be. I should open a trading account and pick up next day expiring shorts on boing the day before this. If they blow up the ISS I will be a gorillionaire.
I miss this meme machine so fucking much bros ;_;

>>16296956good of SpaceX to care aboit how nasa/boeing appear in the media. i feel that's a lot more important than the mars goal. Go NASA Go Boeing!
starliner fucking up is a good thing in the end since everyone is getting experience with dealing with stranded astronauts. with lots of people going into space we're going to need more experience with managing serious problems.
>>16296962>nukes boeing>valuable learning experiencethere are literally no downsides
wtf berger posted about it on reddit earlier today>For a long time I was super-skeptical that any other option was being considered other than Starliner to return Butch and Suni. But in recent days I've been hearing from more and more people that Dragon is being actively worked as a backup option. For obvious reasons NASA does not want to do this, because it probably kills the Starliner program and any chance of a second crew transport system. Anyway, at this point I am about 80-20 in favor of the crew coming back on Starliner. But it's definitely worth watching whereas a couple of weeks ago I would have dismissed the possibility.https://old.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/1ec0vwd/eric_berger_ars_technica_its_clear_nasa_does_not/lexlkkr/

It's that easy in launch towery
>>16296984If Spacex Dragon has to be used to rescue Boing astronauts it's over. This is their third test flight and if they can't get crew safely to ISS and back home it's over. If it's Boing no-one will be going.
Why don't they just leave Starliner where it is and use it to deorbit the ISS when the time comes?
>>16297055Because deorbiting ISS in a proper place is not that easy

>>16297190Your picture is fucking gay.
>>16297178They are not stranded. They are making sure the ISS is deorbited as planned, with no survivors. We're expecting two of them in the wreckage.
Just a quick rundown about de-orbiting ISS:What if we attached parachute, and use NH4NO3 as brake solid, that'll turn into NO2 and H2O by heating up, generating thurst for braking.We could then have it land somewhere we could put it in exhibition in some museum or whatever, I want to see it.
>>16297191
>>16297203N2O + H2O, when heatsink reaches temperature of 280 celsius, it starts producing those gases, and they can just go straight down for braking, when atmosphere is thick enough, you open parachute.Seems easy.Also seems to be less failure prone than any rocket breaking.

>>16297254Holy crap, so manuvering jet is faulting. Put faggots who got there in module, lock module, detach it, and make somebody go for spacewalk to kick it down, eventually it will fall to ground. If kicking isn't enough get some presurized container, ducktape it to module and make it decompress.
>>16297250You're telling me that shuttle have no escape pod? Who designed that bullshit?
>>16297250>astronauts need vehicles to get to ISS>astronauts need vehicles to return from ISSDo you have any reason to think that an untested return vehicle would be more reliable than existing, tested vehicles?They could send more Dragons if they needed them. A special purpose "escape pod" is a gay idea and you're a retard.
>>16297263Why untested? They could just have return pod from Apollo there. Just in case.

>>16297482if it isn't ready in time for escapade's launch window what are they going to do? does it have any other launches lined up after that?
>>16297491It'd probably fly on falcon heavy if it looks like new glenn isn't gonna make the launch window.The fact they switched over even though it's about 2 months till it's scheduled to launch seems like a good indicator to me it's on schedule.
>step by step ferociously step 1: do a little hopstep 2: go to Mars
If I understood correctly at first the Boeing guy said that there are some issues that they can't test on the ground and that's why the engine shutdowns and leaks happened, but then NASA came in and managed to replicate the issue on the ground. What the fuck Boeing was doing and how can anyone trust them after this?

>>16297675It's certainly possible if Moscow decides to invest the political interest in it. I've always said that this was the safe bet, given that Russia has had a near continuous crewed presence in orbit since the beginning of the seventies and they'd lose a huge amount of prestige if they let that lapse. Pride like that is great for driving decisions in Russia that don't have the strongest economic case. Slowly building out a Mir-2 style station is also well within their capabilities, although I do wonder if going back to a series of single module Salyut-style stations might be the better option.

Legally he's not a pedophile, but there are a lot of people who see a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit. Errol Musk did the same thing when he married one of Elon's classmates after divorcing Elon's mom, so the guys got some strong if autisticly expressed opinions on the subject.

>>16297785Sometime. They recertified the batteries so those should be good up to the 90 day mark now. Honestly, I think the helium leak and thruster issues are being overplayed a bit. The He leak was never serious enough to endanger the mission and even if the thrusters continue to be their usual dysfunctional selves Calypso should still be able to get away from the station and through its deorbit maneuvers; it's the RCS system that's acting up, not the bigger OMS thrusters. What people should be worrying about are the systems that haven't had a chance to fuck up yet, like the parachutes and air bags.

CO2 sensor that's refused to play along with its siblings during post-docking tests. I haven't heard about any issues with the spacecraft's thermal regulation capabilities.

>>16297840If it wasn't for NASA's continued reluctance to conclude the mission I'd say that it works "well enough." I do get that they want to acquire as much data as they can before the service module gets discarded, but there's just a little too much nervous panic for that to be the whole story.

>>16297912Yeah, he stopped a few months from now
>>16297800> They recertifiedFailing, then issuing paperwork that says your failure is okay now is comically transparent.
>>16297940
soon
>>16297975They grow a new chin and puffier cheeks each time I see them. such ugly patchy facial hair as well. these men need to clean themselves up and have some self respect, go for a 10min walk a day PLEASE
The astronauts are not stranded. they will come back down in 3 years after Starliner is redesigned
>>16297975Fuck ass retards ruin every stream with the constant self-advertising. This is why I watch the silent 24/7
>>16297975https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGgI looked back in the stream and there was a small puff of smoke at the sidethe angle and the flame trench make this very un-eventful, but I guess this means the stack should be ready to go?
elon is still seething on twitter
>>16298042we are deep into the howard hughes phase. this wont end well
RTF!RTF!RTF!!

Elon needs to disown and disinherit his son. He needs to lock him up in a basement haha forever. Techno Mechanical Musk will instead be ruler of Mars
>>16298073The son already disowned him during the covid season. Even changed his name claiming he wanted nothing to do with Musk. Prob doesnt even speak with Musk anymore. The tranny ideology is dangerous.LMAO
https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/07/nasa-nears-decision-on-what-to-do-with-boeings-troubled-starliner-spacecraft/Does this mean they are stranded for 1 year??
>>16298084woah look at that, it's going really fast!i didn't know starliner was this fast, is it faster than the spacex falcon 9 capsule?
musk is actually becoming a fucking retard in real time. I refuse to be waived in this observation.
>>16298084No, this was not the actual mission.
>>16298088that's fine, reddit told me it was actually the engineers that make spacex work
>>16298092this unironically.
>>16298088twitter was a mistake
>Not only are boing tempting fate by docking with the shitliner that could have potentially malfunctioned and slammed into the ISS they are doing it twice by hotfiring the thing attatched to the ISS with the off chance it explodeslol, lmao even
>>16298085Could be related to the out of bounds thruster sensor? Does seem faster than normal
>>16298090? How was this not an actual mission? Humans were on board the space capsule
>>16298096Now that will be a fun press conference.>Why did you kill all the astronauts?
>>16298088Grimes tried to save him, she failed. Now elon is a chud
>>16298100Demo mission, spacex did it toohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crew_Dragon_Demo-2
>>16298092true, elon is an engineer, after all.
>>16298109Chieftain amongst them, in fact
>>16298102>"We believe in being thorough"
>>16298076>The tranny ideology is dangerous.Yes, the language they use is exactly like every super-aggressive leftist trans on the internet - like some LLM trained on all their internet hovels. They seem not a nice person unfortunately. Also it was very weird to see them speak in a video.. sort of like those AI fem-elons made real. But, not spaceflight, ikik.
>>16298123its brainwashing
>>16298104pretty accurate.
Speaking of space tourism and treatments for the mentally unwell,When will we have euthanasia by spaceflight? Seems like a flashy way to go out.
>>16298092reddit told me you fell out of a coconut tree>>16297648Oort cloud doesnt exist, totally made up
>>16298174i've seen pictures
humanity needs our next great adventure. a wild new frontier. mars aint it.
>>16298192
>>16298196It's just right over there.
>>16298203there are 3 stars in this picture
>>16298092You're telling me these fags are singlehandedly carrying spaceflight?
>>16298203>>16298196It's right there. It's RIGHT THERE.
>>16298205
>>16298179astronomers spat in your face and you took it with a smile
>>16298233Just, right over there. Sitting there, waiting for us.
>>16298240heh
>>16298245dumb question but how big are the actual stars in this photo? Likely just a pixel large?
>>16298245
>>16298088When did you castrate yourself?
>>16298192There are no more frontiers. Every uninhabited acre in the universe will kill you instantly without an insulating layer of technology, and kill you eventually without an entire civilization's output.
>>16298265When did you start eating shit? Fag
>>16298192Why don't you do it?
>>16297503putting your thrusters in a vacuum chamber is expensive, please understand
>>16298288>we only had $6 billion dollars
>>16298252>nothing personnel kid
>>16298288Did NASA ok it without them even vacuum testing?
>>16298306Hahahah
>>16298088Him doubling down on Vance makes him retarded, seeing as to how Vance is one of the biggest retards to grace the political spectrum yet.
How the hell is ULA functional despite Boeing’s shortcomings?Is ULA that far removed from any actual direct “Boeing” input? Is Lockheed doing a ton of CYA to make sure the rockets actually fly? You can hate Vulcan—but the booster and the centaur worked very well. Meanwhile I do not have one iota of trust in this upcoming Exploration Upper Stage for SLS being cheap, being delivered on-time, or working correctly once it’s actually flown
>>16298084The more bullshit outcome of this entire debacle is that NASA is going to human rate a vehicle that requires a structure and thrust redesign, while any other contractor delivering an equivalent capability would be held to a much higher standard and would be denied human rating until all changes have been validated. Never though I'd live to see the day that NASA would embrace corruption so openly.
https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1817033846396977593Ignore trannies and commies, keep launching.
>>16298345https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1817040329645994481~2 hrs till liftoff
>>16298331>You can hate Vulcan—but the booster and the centaur worked very well.Centaur is old, and Vulcan uses blorogin engines. They can't do anything new that is technically challenging
>>16298342That's Biden's NASA for ya
>>16298345>>16298360another starlink launch? boring! I'm not gonna watch it
>>16298342>while any other contractor delivering an equivalent capability would be held to a much higher standard and would be denied human rating until all changes have been validatedmaybe in spaceflight but this reminds me of the osprey killing tons of people during testing but military still pushed through with the program
>>16298369Centaur V is brand new
>>16298104I bet she was a CIA plant
>>16298381Nah she’s just autistic lol. It’s definitely not a shtick
>>16298231the dog with the laser eyes carrying a katana really completes the picture.Those must have been heady days.
any1 have pics of grimes with her shirt off?

>>16298104Talulah would have - she was about as based as a woman can be but normal and smart.. he should have impregnated her. Idk why he didn't.Grimes is a reddit+lesswrong lefty arthoe - an aella with a few more iq points. I definitely get the appeal but seriously being with any female like that is going to drive you to the right in impulsive ways just out of the frustration and tumult in the relationship...God help me for writing about this shit.
>>16298423yes
>>16298495Coupla cuties for certain
