>>16414209maybe its actually positive from a margin perspectiveor they want to keep their mission control etc people fresh
>>16414210
>>16414210Is this the wokest launch stream ever?
deployment soon
>>16414221I cant listen to this shit.I unmuted for a moment, and they were saying its a terrible day of remembrance for Jews, all sad
buh bye
>>16414215I wonder if they had a bunch of tourist hops booked before the first NS failed, so they HAD to build another one to meet obligations?
>>16414228that is a possibility too
They all look so excited and giggling.
Whats the hold up?
Hold. Telemetry issue.
>>16414200
>inb4 it blows up
>>16414232Now they're almost crying.
they sure do love their holds over at BO
THERES ANOTHER HOLD?????????
someone edit a gun into vulcan's hand.

i thought this was a spaceflight general.why are we watching a high atmospheric suborbital flight?
https://x.com/NHC_Atlantic/status/1843320538615484736this does not seem good
i heard a loud bang, did they blow a burst disc overpressurizing the vehicle or something?
>let's talk about, um, the new shepard experience.much like what it's outside appearance suggests.a short burst of fun and then premature descent.
>>16414262
>>16414264why the hell can't a launch just be scheduled earlier rather than later when bad wheather is suspected to delay it anyway if forced to launch on the current date?
>>16414268hardly a real rocket though, it's more like an overblown sounding rocket that wastes a lot of it's time trying to carry people rather than experiments.
>>16414268>spaceflight
>>16414268it isn't called rocket general anon, it's called spaceflight general.

That's why they select one as a test pilot ahead of the "real" first manned flight. The anime is her training for her first flight, basically.

> Hera> Mission to confirm an asteroid we already confirmed moved slightly, actually -- moved slightly.
>>16414321Maybe they'll learn something that'll come in handy for designing future impactors meant for redirecting Earth-threatening asteroids? Maybe they'll just take some cool pictures and that's fine by me since I didn't pay for it.
>>16414321nobody knows what the impact crater will look like up close. that's worth something
>>16414321It's up close battle damage assessment for a planetary defense mission, which is based.

>>16414340https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/10/hurricane-milton-becomes-second-fastest-storm-to-reach-category-5-status/>So by Wednesday, at the latest, Milton should be weakening as it approaches the Florida coast. However, it will nonetheless be a very large and powerful hurricane, and by that point the worst of its storm surge capabilities will already be baked in—that is, the storm surge will still be tremendous regardless of whether Milton weakens.

>>16414321yeah but I wanna see clear pictures of that asteroid looking wrecked
https://x.com/ajtourville/status/1843347899314586079>NEWS: @SpaceX continues to dominate the launch market in Q3-2024, leading with 26 launches or 49% of all launches.
>>16414274>>16414270>>16414271New Shepard goes to space
>>16414356Calm down Diogenes
>>16414327It will look like a crater or somewhat crater-like. There, just saved $100m or whatever Hera cost.
>>16414370yeah or maybe it won't jackass. look at all the craters dimorphos had before. basically none. it's a pile of gravel with almost no gravity. could be any large impact just rearranges the gravel into a new blob. only way to check is to go there.
>>16414373The initial probe took plenty of data, as did remote telescope observation from Earth. There is nothing new being learned from Hera. If the Mafia wants to explore an asteroid, pick any one of the hundreds of NEA within their ability to reach.
>>16414363it dips it's toes into spacethis is like saying a parachute flies.
>>16414376you are wrong.
>>16414376>The initial probe took plenty of dataDART zoomed in and crashed after seconds of arriving near the asteroids, and LICIACube was a very simple probe.

What's Musks gameplan when Demonrats win?
>>16414436the justifications seemed like bullshit if I remember correctlysaying Starlink can't hit a target even though the time to hit it was in 2025 or something

>>16414442Will Kameltoe Hay-rice really let him?
FUCK YOU BIDEN NIGGER
>>16414435https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/10.7.2024-Letter-to-the-FCC58.pdf>"The use of Starlink to repair and enhance connectivity in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene suggests that Starlink can support rural communities recovering from natural disasters—and therefore in daily usage, too; FCC Commissioner Carr has argued that the FCC is now among a “growing list of administrative agencies that are taking action against Elon Musk’s businesses.” The FCC must ground its decision-making in law and not politics."

STARSHIP ABOUT TO LAUNCH
>>16414477Eberyome GET IN HEREEEE!!!!!!!
Why are they repeating the WDR? This isnt a good sign
why is Musk trying to go to fucking mars when the moon is much easier and would benefit humanity a shitload more in the space industry?
>Still need to destack for FTS installyikes
>>16414489Moon is a satellite of Earth and if by chance Earth is captured by the castration cult, its over. Mars it the next best bet.
>>16414489The Luna is woke garbage
>>16414489"With a starship, you can go anywhere you want"
You guys seriously need to watch this
>>16414489to make life multiplanetary
>>16414500woah that was so cool do it again
>>16414502Everyone is hyped about how crazy OFT5 will be
>>16414501the moon is a planet so moon colonization fulfills that goal.
>>16414501The Moon is a planet
>>16414509>>16414508no the moon is a harsh mistress
>>16414508>>16414509multiple meaning more than twoNASA is doing a mars base anyway
>>16414456unfortunately the Democrats have a numerical advantage when it comes to crazed assassins
why doesnt elon suck kamala-coochie and just do what the FAA say
>>16414515There's fuck ton of deranged democrats killing people, their motives dont get much coverage on media because it goes against the narrative. Only way to find out the motives is to get some leaker.
>>16414516you need to go back
>>16414238i want to blow up inside LV0011
>>16414488That wasn’t a full WDR chud
so you're telling me the entire reason you want to go to mars instead of the moon is because the moon is too close for you to fully escape the "woke mind virus" or whatever the fuck and you have a breeding fetish
>>16414522you're forgetting the child brides but yeah pretty much. what of it?
>>16414524I think God should kill you
>>16414514*Moon base
>>16414526God is on my side on this one.

>>16414534manray..
>>16414522Woke mind virus is just the latest symptom, the greater problem is civilizational decay on many different fronts
>>16414534real shame they don't recover and refly those things.
>>16414522The human extinctionist movement is what woke virus is. So the threat is very real as they coalesce and branch out into all sorts of anti-human ideology and practices. Whether that is the castration cult, the depopulation cult, the degrowth cult, deindustrialization cult, the communist cult, etc. One overarching goal of this movement is extinction.
>>16414534Is it just a trick of the camera or is it really at a 45 degree angle of attack?
>>16414540ULA boosters are designed to go too fast at cutoff so they'd just burn up
>>16414437Cry about stolen election
>>16414543It was fairly angled-up after that SRB failure

>>16414437"I'm fucked" - first minute of the new Carlson interviewThen he does the Elon laugh. Kek.
>>16414548Pair it with ClF3 instead of N2O4 and we're cooking.
>>16414548Sucks that all the best propellent combinations are turbo toxic and incredibly reactive desu.
>>16414570The only alternative to chemistry and ions is nuclear (fission) and that comes with a suite of its own problems. Laser propulsion techniques are criminally understudied though
>>16414583Lasers are the physical essence of the Exhaust Problem, any system energy dense enough for interplanetary space travel is a weapon.

>nsf: ship catch is NET 2026. its physically impossible to currently catch a ship. anyone saying otherwise doesnt know what they're talking about. its. not. happening.legit?
>>16414600if they are talking about starship and not the booster then probably yes
>>16414600if they can catch booster, why cant they catch ship? will biden faa block spacex from catching ship?
>>16414600Yes, it physically can't be caught currently. It doesn't have anywhere for the arms to catch.
https://octoberskyminute.com/cm/podcast/minute-082-say-hello-to-the-outside-world/
>>16414600to catch the ship they need to evacuate the population of texas and arizona to keep people safe. its NEVER HAPPENING.
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up adding legs on starship
>>16414621Obviously. You need to land quite a few before you can build a catch tower there
>>16414621Its not a surprise. Moon/Mars need it. SpaceX/Musk has said they'll be using legs.
>>16414621>>16414625>>16414633Who is more insufferable than legfags. You idiots shit up every general you touch. They wont be using legs btw. Musk already explained this.
>>16414600I don't give a FUCK what faggots on NSF are saying
>>16414533That's no moon....
>>16414562>Pair it with ClF3Ah yes, the substance that firmly proves Satan's existence.
>>16414646Skill issue tbph

>>16414274well personally I wanted to name it Tank Watcher General back in 2018 but nooooooo that's not inclusive enough
>>16414647Well yes, running skills are very important when dealing with it.
>>16414376you should be Raped.
>>16414397anyone else always zoom into these crowd shots to search for fuckable women?
>>16414290extremely mediocre romcom anime with spaceflight themeit has a good rocket launch in it
>>16414456why not, cuz it's illegal? lol
>>16414292That's what they've been downselected to do.
>>16414489Try to get to Mars with lots of cargo and as a direct result you have vehicles that make accessing the Moon easy.You're basically asking "why aren't they building a worse Moon rocket"

reminder to change the outfit color
>>16414636I >>16414625 was talking about the moon and Mars
>>16414680they will not use legs on the moon and Mars. Be imaginative.
>>16414293We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Boooooo! *hissssssss*
>>16414356they're even straight lines if you put it on a sphere
>>16414687nothing burger
>>16414489>doesn't know that Mars is similar dV cost to landing on the moon
>>16414687duh, it's the highly eccentric orbits in weird heliocentric inclinations with low reflectivity that are really dangerous.if one of those was on a course to hit us there's likely very little warning time and we wouldn't be able to strike it multiple orbits ahead of the potential impact, we'd need to hit it with enough force so it gets deflected even if it's already on terminal approach.
>>16414604They need to catch booster first because it's more expensive and more useful. Ship can be expendable for high energy missions.
>>16414681What, shuttle style?
>>16414695why would there be 1+ year delays between booster catch and ship catch?
>>16414679total oldspace death inshallah
>>16414697it's not that easy in ship catchery
>>16414646Pentaborane is even worse if you look at the fire diamond.
>>16414677Getting stuff to TRL6 is not a scam, just a well-funded hobby that may potentially translate to millions if NASA buys it
>>16414697Because the ship is shedding like 5x the energy of the booster after going around the Earth a couple times. You want precision out of a maneuver like that? SpaceX is good, but they don't have magic
>>16414489Because Mars is more than a 3 day trip from Earth and its retarded Earthers?
>>16414534cute fairing-chan flapping away
>>16414697they need a new fishing license for that
Mars colonization is fake and gay and Elon Musk will take the pay.
>>16414679almost the Ginyu Force pose but not quite
>>16414600>legit?The catch arms for the Booster can't hold a Ship, the way both are held is completely different.Don't be surprized if there are dedicated Ship catch towers.
>>16414489Moon is a shithole. Mars less so.
I think about Mars a lot.
>>16414705It's easy actually.
>>16414719
>>16414719My wife tells me to stop talking about it so much and that she doesn't want to go if we can. This makes me sad because we might get the opportunity (early 20s) but I'd need to get a divorce first
>>16414696Think Opportunity.
>>16414696>>16414728https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSbAUtyO7xo
>>16414726If I got the opportunity I would choose to go to Mars in a heartbeat even if it meant I would survive for only 30 minutes there.
>>16414701It might be, we don't know. Nobody knows, that's what's so exciting. Explosions might happen, or miracles, probably both.

"I want to go to Mars" is code for "I want to get away from black people"
>>16414771If you go to Mars, you will go with other people, at least some of which will be n black people. And you will be in confined quarters with them for a very long time.

>>16414342naw bro kyplanet aint gonna seggs you
>>16414798I was actually interested in that topic but he kinda went full “I’m atheist but I’m culturally christian”Just convert already. Musk would be such an autistic Catholic it would be entertaining and based and would suit him well
>>16414798>>16414766He's talking about decline of religion creating a vacuum. In the absence of an official religion, the adoption of a pseudo religion in all but name becomes adopted. The woke religion. It has all the characteristics of a religion. It has churches. It has popes. It has dogmas. It has religious proselytism. It has holy wars. And so its a religion by all definition.
>>16414772And who are you to proclaim what the makeup of Mars will be?>nooo you have to take <x> people, and <y> people too!How about you stay here and we fuck off? You can enjoy all the <x>s and <y>s that you love so much, keep every single one of 'em
>>16414804Musk is atheist but he adopts the standard moral/ethical framework of the background religion. Thats culturally religious.

>>16414839>>16414840the west has risenbillions must launch
>>16414824Did NSF talk about Musk's 2026 Mars mission? Or Trump/Musk statement on Mars?
>>16414839It took dragging them out in front of congress to get them to move some papers around. Really disgusting that starship didn’t launch in august. Don’t let them off easy
>>16414839If you dont push back and become vocal, you wont get anything. Simple as that. Same thing happened with the Pete Butigeg with Hurricane Helene
>>16414844context of that pic was when they were talking about the water ball sack thingies. they have a strict no-politics rule so they only mentioned the former, not the latter
it's really funny how some queers in this thread and elsewhere online were adamant that a launch couldn't happen NET late november even after the NOTAM was filed>FAA reconfirmed their earlier statement! It's not that easy in launch approvalry!
>>16414837use this one instead
>>16414851>no politicsThat just code word for "no Trump" right? Cause I doubt there would be silence if Musk/Biden announced Mars 2026.

>>16414694We cant even detect city destroyer asteroids in time. Need some kind of early alert system
>>16414771No, I also want to get away from Jews, Arabs, Hispanics, Indians, Turks, Russians, Chinese, Europeans, Southeast Asians, and probably a few other groups too insignificant to remember off hand.
i hate how most good spaceflight discussion is now done on paid discords
>>16414881Its fine. They've had multiple crashes without catastrophic issues. So its been proven to be just fine. Plus I think the tower catch/launch are from the side angles thats facing away from the farm (especially the Tower2), so I forsee minimal problems even in the event of RUD
>>16414881Wow, the KSC is super inefficient. But imagine how many launch pads it'll be able to hold when they renovate it in the future.
>>16414881was originally a site for launching falcon 9plus it's size limited by the wilderness around it and the mexico border is right below it
>>16414871Tell us, how did you do on the imagine an apple test?
>>16414892But on a sphere a triangle can have 3 90 degree angles.
>>16414898that doesnt make sense. go give spacex 3 months to land people on mars. protip: you cant do it.

>If [Trump] loses, I'm fuckedDirect quote from Elon
>>16414900Yeah bevause a little thing called F.A.A.
>>16414910He's not wrong. The current government is deeply hostile towards American innovation and anyone who threatens the State's absolute information control and Elon is dead center in both of those categories

>>16414913Starship runs on fuel, right? How does that fuel get out to the Starbase?
>>16414916what are they getting ready for? dump cum into a big pit? what is something big and what role do they play
So how the hell did they get the FAA to bend?
>>16414918>>16414917How are the tanks not already full? Theyve been "ready" for months?
so why exactly aren't you making hydrazine for your homemade rocket?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdpuS4RoZUAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtYB8tIvdKcif hydrazine is too spicy you could even make some hydrogenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIWgzVaGn4Y
>>16414924how does hypochlorite and ammonia make hydrazine, doesn't that usually just make chloramines
>>16414924>hydrazineit was good enough for a junkman to get to the moon
>>16414922You know what they meant when they said the vehicles were ready.

>>16414931Import ISRU propellant from Mars.
>>16414928Ready to fly pending regulatory approving (and weeks of tanker trucks refueling) ok dude
>>16414938I don't think cryogens can be transported long distances by pipeline. Maybe pipe in nat gas and liquefy on-site?
>>16414936Lads... I think I know why Flight 5 is happening
>>16414933Not possible, not enough storage, not fast enough to produce, too expensive to produce
>>16414943>Not possiblethe chemistry is simple >not enough storagebuild more storage>not fast enough to producebuild more machines. inputs (air and water) are not limited at all>too expensive to produceyeah
>and a manual command from the mission’s Flight Director. If this command is not sent prior to the completion of the boostback burn, or if automated health checks show unacceptable conditions with Super Heavy or the tower, the booster will default to a trajectory that takes it to a landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.
Been feeling with no power or cell from Helene. Can I get a basic gestalt on flight five?
>>16414941What do you think liquefied natural gas is?LNG has had a long history and is the sole reason natural gas distribution is viable between states and countries.
>>16414951Damn the torpedoes
The government is cloud seeding to stop all launches. bexos has the only rocket that is hirricane proof and thats Blue Gleen.
>>16414812lmaoI wonder if the FAA is making a last-ditch effort to convince Musk to spare their jobs when his towering autistic rage is unleashed on the regulatory agencies.
>>16414952Is LNG transported any serious distances by pipeline? It's moved by tankers and shit, stored near shore in insulated tanks, then regasified for distribution.
>>16414356Chat is this real
>>16414812How is this allowed? FAA said november. They are breaking laws to move SpaceX faster? This needs to be investigated

>>16414961I demand that the FAA self immolate
I don't think we can justify sending any of our precious African Americans on Felon Husk's deathtrap water tower to Mars. Like, an acceptable number would be absolutely zero

what if starlink isnt viable long term? what if for some reason it can only work for the next 10 or 15 years? what will spacex resort to then? maybe its time to diversify their sources of revenue.
>>16415168for communists, science is valued only as a means of propagating their dialectic of historical materialismwhen it does not serve that end, it is sidelined or suppressed for the good of the "people"if science finds something to be true that the party does not approve of, it is pseudosciencemany such cases, doesn't take long to find examples of thisthey don't believe in objective truthfor them, dialogue is not a cooperative effort to discover truth but rather a power struggle that they are obliged to win because of the necessary progression of history as determined by their deontological principles>>16415169they are obsoleted and completely compromised, both in terms of security and institutional corruption
>>16415136China falling behind. What's their problem?
>>16415182they dont need much for commercial launches because almost their entire population is located in the eastern half of the country in very dense urban areas. communication satellites are a waste of time for them. who knows what their killer app for commercial spaceflight will be.
>>16415159Lol dont leave, they are doing another landgrab
>>16415157REDGOV started issuing threats
>>16415179what do you mean by nonviable? even if there is competition, that would only decrease the profits somewhat and right now it doesn't seem like any other competitor will be coming in the near termbut lets say competition happens and SpaceX only gets a few billion profit per yearSpaceX still has the launch business and Musk has 5 other companies, he can funnel money from them after they become mature (Tesla in the medium term, the others a bit further back)and by funnel money I mean Musk personally taking his share of dividends and just plowing them into the mars colony, not that the companies would start to do anything, just Musk personally with his holdingdividends would allow him to keep the shares, but that requires a mature company with more money coming in than the company can use for growth, if thats not the case yet then he can just start divesting slowly a bit like Bezos has been doing with Amazon to fund Blue Origin
>>16415168he wasn't even on right side of the political spectrum when they started hating him
>>16415175>I'm not sure what broke the camels back for Muskbesides general incompatibility his companies have with the regulatory agencies and how they function (corruptly) it really does seem he got radicalized by twitter deciding to filter all vaccine "misinformation" and I think even directly states if he had been able to access the information he wouldn't have gotten vaxxed. also the troon kid probably set him off too ESPECIALLY if he's been given insight into what kind of life his son will have after SRS and other various surgeries (KF has a good thread on after results). But maybe it was just simply that the BLUGOV wasn't moving fast enough for him so he had an autism about it and went dark mode
>>16415182nothing really is their problem, its just that SpaceX is revolutionary and the chinese have not replicated reusable boosters yet
>>16415185back when starlink was getting started I always figured china would eat the cost and create their own version of it under the belt and roads label for thirdies. also as a somewhat decent way to fund the nascent spaceflight industry they're trying to jump start.
>>16415189>what do you mean by nonviable?i was thinking of the telephone pole regulation the other day, where every telco had their own wires on the pole. eventually the government said that was stupid and forced all the companies to use a single line. with all the megaconstellations, i wonder if we'll see a similar thing for commercial constellations. at that point starlink would just be one of dozens of service providers.
Alright fags, Ive returned for IFT-5. I will also be going in person for gaan. Expect some /sfg/ exlcusive photos and maybe videos of both launch and catch though from far away. I never take photos or videos though so camerawork is likely to be ass and from a phone.

>>16415289where is the choice that they are simply going no matter what
>>16415290posturing is the closest to that I guess
>>16415289NASA is too cucked to do anything, FAA already reaffirmed when they werent as pressured that they wouldnt change course, so that only leaves DoD who are more likely to step in about this sort of thing though they have less of a vested interest. Buckbroken isnt a specific reason, why is that option there.
>>16415293listing all the different reasons why FAA is giving out the license would be too many optionsmaybe they got pressured externally by the public, maybe they got pressured through congress or other republican entities, maybe they got it done faster for some reason, maybe Musks call with Buttigieg had some effectI would say all of that falls under being buckbroken due to being adamant previously about the date not moving left from end of November
>>16415289NSF say that since the spacex announcement, all of their enquiries to the FAA are being ignored lol
If Trump wins I will admit that I was wrong to doubt Elon. Big motherfucking if there though, putting Mars on the line is an extremely risky gambit that plays with the future of and interplanetary and maybe even interstellarhumanity
>>16415300the current FAA admin needs to be publicly flogged

>>16415305there needs to be Congressional hearings where the admin admits to being a massive faggotafter that, a flogging

>>16415300If I worked at the FAA I would blacklist NSF too
>>16415312The only thing you blacklist is white people
>>16415289FAA bent the knee to the future king of Mars!
>>16415289I doubt NASA has the power to order the FAA to change something like that, unless maybe it was at the KSC itself.Given the Coast Guard was the first source for a potential launch this weekend I'd say it's likely DOD pressure. Especially considering that the FAA made an open, public, very clear statement that Starship would not be launching until late November at the earliest. For the FAA to get egg on their face like this I think it'd have to be some pressure from a pretty powerful actor with some serious weight to throw around.There's no reason why the FAA would just randomly decide to go back on themselves and back down, and there have been several sources pointing towards a potential launch this weekend so it's definitely not SpaceX just bullshitting.
>>16415318NASA and DOD can issue their own separate licenses if they really want to
maybe it wasnt any one source of pressure but a bunch of small pressures from multiple sides...nasa, dod, congressmen, etc. could've all contributed to the pressure that finally caused the faa to give in.
maybe I should have made separate poll options for NASA and DOD issuing licenses themselves instead of just pressure coming from there, but whatever
>>16415321Really? That's the first time I've heard of that.
>>16415324yes (14:45 in the video) >>16415198for instance, the Starliner crew demo launch didn't have a FAA license, it was launched under NASAs experimental something somethingand apparently the DOD can also launch if they deem it necessaryin both cases the given party takes responsibility if something goes wrong, i.e. NASA or DOD can then be sued if public safety was compromised or something like thatNSF talked about some of this in a previous videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TobeGL4Ma8
>>16415327at 7:05 in the video "Why Falcon 9 Faced FAA Investigations But Not Starliner | We Asked The FAA" they talk about it
>>16415328>none of the Shuttle launches were managed by the FAA
>>16415181>for communists, science is valued only as a means of propagating their dialectic of historical materialismwhen it does not serve that end, it is sidelined or suppressed for the good of the "people"Lysenkoism is well known but Bolsheviks also had big issues with relativity and quantum theory. Physicists had to be careful what they said until politicos chilled out on those fields of research
wonder if elon dropping the FEMA lack of competency and agreeing to be a team player (in those tweets to buttiboy) was part of some deal to get an earlier launch. he had a bunch of spacex engineers on site all over the place probably recording all kinds of things
>>16415324The US Governments launches nor it's payloads are beholden to the FAA as the law is written
>>16415337maybeMusk stops grilling current admin on FEMA incompetence, they in turn allow Starlink D2C for emergency use temporarily + expedite the Starship launch licensebut has Musk stopped grilling the admin about FEMA?
Maybe spaceX and the FAA both bent the knee and made a weird arrangement
>>16415342surely his tweets would have been posted here since that's the only way I know what he's up to
>>16415166What part of space to cell don't you get? In order to function this thing has to actually route calls over the internet from SpaceX's ground stations to the regular cell network. This would have actually been impossible before VoIP became standard in 4G/5G
>>16415350I thought it bypassed the existing towers of the so-called "regular cell network" altogether. Is this just using Starlink for backhaul?
>>16415360its supplemental service for locations with no cell towers, there will never be enough capacity for this to completely replace terrestrial cell towersso yes, if you are calling someone that is in a city from somewhere in the wilderness, then you need the existing networkits not backhaul either really (the normal starlink could be used for that perhaps), but covers areas where there is no cell service and routes that through the satellite into a cell tower, which then works normallyhttps://www.starlink.com/business/direct-to-cell
>>16415175You are not nearly cynical enough to talk politics. The situation with SpaceX does not directly benefit Democrats. Elon moving his companies out of blue states was his "all in" political gesture once he determined he was not getting the patronage he sought. (I'm not sure what he expected. The US hasn't had an official industrial policy in nearly 80 years.) Not really a surprise given the current makeup of likely Democrat donors (who don't care about space at all, even as a national prestige project) and the industries they represent. The only thing keeping them from openly committing lawfare is, paradoxically, the same intel community that hates the former president Elon is backing now. All of them, even the people he aligns with, are perpetually baffled by Elon tilting at windmills, but simultaneously aware he struck gold twice already, three times if you count PayPal (ehhhhh). If he's playing a long con, he's been doing it for 20 years and I have to respect his commitment to the bit.
>>16415171Becoming an ISP is just a money printer anyway, couldn't have chosen a better industry
WE ARE GOING
it must be rough working for blue origin and knowing you're just following in SpaceX's footsteps.
>>16415362hmm, i figured they simply attached a dishy to the cellphone towers
>>16415371no, cell phone companies are doing that too, but direct to cell is something different
>>16415370I can't believe they pussied out of having a crewed landing ship
>>16415370They're doing what they do pretty differently from SpaceX, and with much heavier duty infrastructure compared to Falcon.
>>16415370They shouldnt name it the same thing. It needs a new name
>>16415377>droneship>propulsive landingsounds like they're still playing catch up

>>16415410Drumpf stuff somehow lol
Oh. Elon and Trump teaming up must be making them (the insane) lose their fucking minds huh
>>16415415based on what I've been reading the people that really hated him, hated him already so much this doesn't really matterhe was already hitler-tier to themit might have tipped some that already disliked him into full blown hate though, hard to saybut I'm pretty sure it also made him new fans so on balance I'm not really sure what the "favorability" of Musk is after all this (did it go up or down on aggregate after the rally or endorsement)I've seen some posts about people selling their Teslas and Tesla stock due to the Trump endorsement bug again, on balance not sureyou also have people that will be buying Teslas now based on it, people that thought EVs were for leftist enviromentalist faggots and so on
>>16415415can only imagine the seethe at all levels
>>16415422not to mention the trump/elon interview thing and now the tucker carlson/elon interview. Although they really needed to turn up elon's mic audio a bit since tucker is Elon is quiet so you turn it up then tucker talks and blows your eardrums out.
SpaceX is about to break its total number of launches in a year record with Starship launch.
>>1641543199?
>>16415370Why is there so much bloat on the barge? Is it self propelled?
Soon
>>16415438Apparently they want to start refurbishing the booster right after landing, so those structures may serve as workshops and storages.
>>16415439

>>16415467that tweet is from 5 days ago and the FAA have refused to make a comment or reconfirm their previous statements since SpaceX announced a NET Oct 13 datenigger

>>16415486>he still thinks there's gonna be a catch attempt on the 13th
>>16415486They're not gonna try to catch it this time. Either the guy won't give the order or the booster will say things aren't going well enough.
To all of us, and even SpaceX this time, I think clear visibility and proper lighting is going to be a requirement for this catch attempt. I say delay it until the weather has HIGH atmospheric clarity, to analyze the high probability of a mishap.As of right now, NWS forecast looks good:>Saturday Night>Mostly clear, with a low around 73. East wind 3 to 7 mph.>Sunday>Sunny, with a high near 85. Light south southeast wind becoming >east 5 to 9 mph in the afternoon.

>>164154981865
Christian Davenport@wapodavenportAm told the regulatory approval from the FAA is indeed possible for a Starship launch by Sunday but not a certainty.
Eric Berger is a real wizard
ERIC BERGER IS A N
>>16415494I don't think atmospheric clarity matters a great deal as the most likely time for an observation will be the catch itself, at sea level. As long as it's fairly clear out with minimal low cloud cover it should be good viewing

>>16415511at least we'll know if it is actually gonna be the 13th if they destack and install the FTS
>>16415511would look pretty cool on launch with it lighting up the area
>>16415535lmao this will never stop being funny
>>16414717That defeats the purpose of catching them, which is so they can be refueled and launched without being moved around.
>>16415495We are so back
>>16415531This is why we need Trump.Military privilege this essential program, eminent domain the private land, the wildlife reserve and beach is already government owned, close Highway 4 most of the year, Texas will say Yes Sir, Mr. President, and the much larger land plot is now officially named the "Elon Musk Starbase Space Force Proving Grounds". And we get Mexico to let us build a row of towers all the way to the border, their corner of Mexico will be permanently closed. LNG and LOX pipelines directly from the Port. And we are going to authorize it with support from the Pentagon on Day 1.
>>16414717>Don't be surprized if there are dedicated Ship catch towers.You forgot one thing - that would be fucking stupid
>>16414717pretty sure the idea is catch the booster, lower it down to its normal spot then when starship comes down however many days later it lands on the same chopsticksthey already use the chopsticks to assemble the stack so it can lift either one
>>16415547how likely is something like this? or parts of it at leastat some point it should become pretty clear that Starship is critical military infrastructure

>>16415609Don't have slaves
>>16415609there needs to be something so the retards get it and a way to keep hammering it in their headsI don't think its so much that Christianity is unique, its that without some religion there is a vacuum that then gets filled with something else that is akin to a religion, in this case woke race communism which is much worse so basically its a retard wrangler on a societal level, maybe this could be solved with eugenics or something as well but very smart people seem to get infected with the woke mind virus too, so perhaps this is something that is partly orthogonal with raw intelligence

>>16414967Je bent zo een grote nieuwflikker als je niet weet waarom
>>16415611Slavery is nowhere condemned in the New Testament. John Brown and his pals were pulling arguments out of their ass.
>>16415609Ironically, the search for truth. People immersed in a Christianity derived culture can't see it, but without that we never would've gotten here. The scientific method is fundamentally Christian. Unfortunately this also means Christianity as a system has basically committed suicide by disproving aspects of itself. But yeah, look at any competitor or replacement. Even "the science" often referenced today is different from the science of the scientific method. There will be cathedrals on Mars or there will be nothing on Mars. That's our condition

>>16414967jij gaat zeker weten niet.
>>16415649What's important especially for engineering minded people to understand is that you can't design these things from scratch. Looking at the results from attempts in the 20th century should be caution enough. Religions evolve naturally and respond to selective pressure. Our best bet is understanding our inadequacies in this area and keeping what works.
>>16415650was worried for a sec that that was taiwan lol.
>>16415650does that mean we'll get a night launch of starship?i hope we get the first twilight launch that would be so fucking kino.
>>16415679also important is to keep it's tenets somewhat simple, you might want more abstract concepts like merit and objectivity to become parts of your religion but that gets a little too complicated for the types of people that most desperately need religion to survive.
>>16415659Walter Cronkite would have done it

The difference is that most other religion bases their moral on a grounded God as proprieter. Regardless of whether God exists or not, the standard religious ethics have kept society going. So it has its uses. The current woke principles has "foundations" based upon nihilism/relativism. So everything is permitted. From killing babies to defending/promoting terrorists acts to sexually grooming children and then castrating them to promoting institutional racism to promoting the collapse of society to promoting every other forms of death cult practices. The nature of woke principles roots itself in unbounded actions, in queer actions, in taboo breaking, etc. Such that it breaks society and destroys it.

>>16415965thats gay
>>16415968>FAA storms in>sorry sir, the odometer on your rocket shows it's already completed one launch and orbit, we're going to have to delay your next launch and require you do a full MOT on this vehicle before it flies again.
>>16415971nigga he doesn't actually give a shit about spaceflight it just looks good in his campaign, dude literally admitted he'd never even heard of starlink right before they started getting used in those recent rescue ops.
>>16415971could be good campaign footage I guess but idk if Musk is willing to go that faron the other hand Obama did visit SpaceX in the 2010s but I think that was after the election

>>16415977He cares that America can launch astronauts on our own again instead of buying seats from Russia, that's something even the dullest boomer can wrap their fingers around and understand.Paying Russia was just bad business, fuck that post-STS gap hard.
>>16415927Looks like I've got 0.50€ coming my way
They cant launch without a license. bottom line: they have NO license
>>16415977Pence seems to actually care about spaceflight but he’s not on the ticket so the point is moot.
>>16415993This country was built on escaping loicense fags
>>16415993Fuck licenses, fuck regulators and FUCK the FAA
>>16415977>nigga he doesn't actually give a shit about spaceflightBut he does, he was there for the first crewed dragon launch.Sure, he only cares due to national and personal prestige but honestly I don't give a fuck about his motivations. All I care about is trump has done more for spaceflight than biden/harris have.
>>16415993They're gonna get the licence and we are gonna laugh at you
>>16416001>he only cares due to national and personal prestigeThat's fine too, it'd be nice to have a real space enthusiast as President whose primary goal was boots on Mars ASAP, but I'll settle for one who isn't actively trying to strangle SpaceX and therefore the future of the human race.
>>16416001>>16416004>>16415978>>16415971Trump should NOT attend this launch/landing, because there is a high chance of an accident looking bad. Also, their fancy new office / very hardened command center bunker wont be done for a while, wherever they operate from right now is shitty and unsafe, not great for Trump to be there, Elon will be busy sperging out with technical stuff and his elite team.
>>16416001> Trumpy was there for the first crewed dragon launch.About that.....
>>16414892He did very well I imagine.
>>16416010We all get mad at scrubs, anon. Imagine how much madder you'd be if you set aside half your day for a launch and went in person only for it to scrub. If you say you wouldn't be pissed you're a dirty liar.

>>16416023the human visual limit is 4k
Trump doesn't give a shit. He just wanted to land on the moon with people by the end of 2024 (he thought he could win in 2020).>" On March 26, 2019, the NSC met in Huntsville. When it came time for Vice President Pence to speak beneath a fully-assembled Saturn V in our Davidson Hall, I found myself seated beside Buzz Aldrin. We had a nice chat before the VP's speech and then, while Buzz and I sat attentive, my friend Mike announced that it was his plan to have the United States land Americans on the moon by 2024 "by any means necessary." Mike's idea would be called Artemis, a nice name with echoes of Apollo. It worked for me."So yeah, he literally just launched Artemis after a conversation with Buzz.
>>16416015No excuse for the President to melt down in front of witnesses and start screaming at the head of NASA like a teenage girl.
>>16416024You totally can, theres no ink in either prohibiting you from being in the other. It's a voluntary treaty too so they can threaten all they want but theres nothing they can do about it.
>>16416022Almost all the countries with a serious investment in space are already signed on. The rest are just adding their name for terrestrial political points, and you don't get much of that by signing twice
>>16416015>>16416017>>16416021>>16416025It was a goddamn weather no-go, there was a tornado warning in the area.How can anyone blame SpaceX for that scrub? Its their first manned launch.

>>16416083You could launch through that no problem.
>>16415950Believe it was Artemis I where they were reaching the limit of roll out cycles and they didn't know if the vehicle would be damaged by additional roll outs, or maybe it was tankings. The nice thing about starship being designed for reuse is you don't have some arbitrarily small number of cycles you can test it for before you worry about damaging the vehicle. If anything they are learning operational failure points and what will ware and tare to expect by stacking and de-stacking.
>>16416120>ware and tareheh

>>16416139we hebben een serieus probleem.
Elon is pretty based for telling govt. agencies to just fuck off instead of doing what other aerospace companies (or almost every other major corporation, for that matter) does and "lobby" the government to work more in their interests.He definitely has more than enough money to lobby for anything he wants. He could slip a giant wad of cash into Joe Biden's back pocket and launch tomorrow.They hate him because he has integrity.

>>16416230eh it makes sense, i hate ziggers as well, any normal person does. i just lean towards finding spaceflight more important so i vote trump instead.

Assuming flight 5 happens this Sunday, the catch and everything go well, and pretending the FAA doesn’t add any delays, when will flight 6 happen?
>>16416247November
>>16416247IFT5 and 6 will be launching simultaneously.
>>16416245Sad, many such casesMan literally wrote the book on this shit, it's why I'm even here
>>16416170The GEM-63 is a dead end product. The SM-3 weighs in at around 1,500 kg total. An FGM-146 Javelin weighs less than 20 kg. That's the size range you really want to be working in to make a profit in the solid fuel market.
>>16416216
>>16416257sure but it's still a nice subsidy for the people that have to create the exact same substance, that's why solid rocket motors were lobbied for so heavily.notice that USSR ICBM's were almost all liquid fuel even in it's twilight and so you'll see very little solid fuel launchers in their lineup
>>16416247In between IFT 5 launch and booster catch.
Imagine.... The time between starship FT 4 and 5 might be a bigger gap than any other gap in the future
>>16416082>>16416258back to /pol/
>>16416263FAA willing, inshallah
>>16416168He is the tyrant of many successful companies, a great leader
>>16416268Since there is a non-zero chance the FAA still exists in 2025, does SpaceX have a better plan for appeasing the FAA menace?
>>16416263You say that every month
FUUUUUCK you better launch on sunday i'm gonna be super busy all of next week.
>Early life on ZubrinSmartest Pol tourist.
>>16416278As long as this isnt just SpaceX doing another>were ready whats the hold upIt will be launching. Weather also looks amazing.
>>16416283if they cuck out because of upper level winds i'm going to kms.
NEW, NO OFFICIAL DATE STATED IN REPORT
GAAN CONFIRMED, COUNTDOWN BEGINS.WHO ELSE IS ATTENDING IN PERSON AND MAY WE NEVER MEET
A updated issued statement by the FAA does no longer mention the late November target date.
>>16416290Youre late nigger. >>16416285
>>16416285>>16416290>the faa is reviewing>will license when requirements are metWell which is it? These are two different states for the licensing process to be in.
>>16416260It's a dead end because the last contracts for space launch-class SRBs have already been inked, it's just a question of whether SLS or Vulcan retires first. Northrop isn't even planning to use boosters on the MLV and they've been the king of solid fuel production. But the last few years have proven that America's ability to produce solid fuel munitions is much smaller than the current demand. There's no money left to be made in SRBs but there's quite a lot of money to be made if you can produce combat missiles quickly and in large quantities.
>>16416290>once spaceX has met all licensing requirementsWhat else does spaceX have to do to meet all licensing requirements?
>>16416247IFT-6 could follow quickly from IFT-5 if the flight profile is the same
>>16416293The FAA has come under a lot of criticism for their political double standards and they're weighting just how much trouble they might find themselves in if they keep the act going
license will come at 4:30pm this friday and not a second sooner.
>>16416230Re-electing Trump after he refused to concede the election and attempted to manipulate the voting process would be extremely degenerate, a 3rd worldification of American politics.That's why Zubrin endorsed Kamala.SpaceX will go to Mars regardless and likely well after either of these administrations.
>>16416299You will be wrong. I wager its after 4:30 PM
>>16416184amazing, someone is a fan of NG:E
>>16416297No reason to think the flight profile won't be the same. They're going to need to reenter the ship a couple more times before they try landing it.
>>16416306I don’t get why they refuse to try in space raptor relight. It’s currently the long pole in the tent for flying real payloads.
>>16416219what, a rocket painted like a onahole isn't enough for you?
>>16416170The linked article says it can do a few hundred kilos per batch using two containers roughly the size of 55 gallon drums.
>>16416295it was ALWAYS dead end for space launch and it was just waiting for someone like musk to come along and kill the hydrogen sustainer 1st stage meme.
Oh yeah, forgot about Sen
>>16416308i would pay top dollar for a starship painted with miia from monster musume.
>>16416307What payload is there near-term other than Starlink? The demands of the starlink business probably don't include Starship launches this year.
>>16416184now that's what I call a meme company
>>16416302Zubrin fell for the gaslight propaganda
>>16416317no he just endorses killing ziggers over spaceflight for whatever reason.
Is Blue Origin old space, new space or meme space?

>>16416319As I said, gaslight propaganda. War time propaganda + domestic politics propaganda combined at the same time = powerful brainwashing agent
>>16416302Zubrin endorsed because of the Ukraine. He tells you that and how Trump is meany National Socialist for saying maybe another endless forever war paid for by America isn't such a great idea.

>>16416330Griftspace, until they actually deliver
>>16416319Was Zubrin's family from the Ukraine!
>>16416323You fell for propaganda. Simple as that. You fell for the sound bites blared in propaganda channels with political narratives being spun instead of the nuanced speeches.
>>16416177>What is it?Part of the inner ring structure for the second launch mount. It's designed to hold the hold-down clamps.
>>16416328nah, hating ziggers is a perfectly reasonable stance to have, and wanting russia to fuck off and slink back to mordor is probably best for the world, i just don't ever see it taking precedent over mars colonisation.
>>16416334>ziggers attacking a country unprovoked and then desperately asking for a ceasefire because they can't sustain this war longterm is propaganda.lol.

>>16416346well yeah, one side defending themselves and the other side going out of their way to dehumanize themselves and become the closest equivalent to the armies of mordor in real life is why this is the first real black and white war in quite some time.russia has the freedom to slink back to it's shithole borders any day it pleases, it just seems to prefer national suicide instead.
>>16416369I want to state that I make distinction between organic opinion and government/media crafted propaganda.
Tonight I am a bit depressed. I stumbled onto some old friend of mine who I was very close to many many years ago on a social platform and I started looking at his life trajectory. While [he/she (privacy reasons)] advanced his/her personal & academic life, I, myself, have stagnated. I am the same as 5 years ago. What keeps me up and running is spaceflight, exploration of the unknown, science and literally myself as I still believe in me (yeah, im that lame).sigh ... thats life i guess
>>16416369i'm not sure how objective reality is war propaganda>russia attacks>russia fucks up>russia then relies for a while on it's soviet stocks to replenish ever growing losses>this is not sustainablepretty obvious this war has taken a toll on ukraine as well, but considering it's a war for their survival and they recieve helpful aid, they're likely to outlast.it's simply russia's choice to stop the war by leaving and no longer pretending we live in some sort of feudalist era where you can just grab land.people point it out when kikes do this but for some reason when russians do it we have to listen to their side of the story.
>>16416378The only reason I wake up every morning is because I know that there is a legion of people all over the world working themselves to the bone to leave this planet because we all share the same basic sentiment: Fuck this gay Earth and everyone in here.

>>16416543No need to cope. It was cancelled by a certain Alabama senator and with Starship they're never looking back
>>16416548euro model is more accurate
>>16416548Of course tracking north would be worse, the anti-clockwise storm surge would pound it right up the bay. I took a look at the shore view from street view yesterday, that whole area is going to be under 10-15 feet or more of water for a while.

why doesnt spacex recover falcon stage 2 (without saying economics or margins or not worth it)
>>16416663Performance penalties
what a fag
>>16416663Economics and margins make it not worth it.
wen stage?
>>16416663Recovering the second stage would be a big enough performance hit that F9 would nearly become a small lift rocket.
>>16416634which is odd from him because it's still an engine in development. IFT1 engines were positively ancient, and flights 2-6, probably 7 as well are all using raptor 2 which is obviously still a testbed engine. It's like shitting on starship/superheavy reliability based on the outcome of the last 4 flights - they're test flights, shit is going to go wrong

You guys do know that if you nuked a hurricane they would stop being a problem right

>>16416751>Scoop: anonymous can't tell when people are joking
Is that a heckin fascism your doing, stop ittt
>>16416747Its possible. But more likely a better way is to test it out with a large conventional missile bomb to disrupt the cycle. Have anything been done to test out a simulation and effect?

>>16416747The idea was given up on once eyewall replacement cycles were discovered.
>>16416763In that case we need to cage this freak and starve him to death
it over for floridathe waffle houses are closed
>>16416763I stand by what I said
>>16416759>>16416757More so, I was thinking doing it pre-emptively while the eye is weak. So we'd need active anti-hurricane unit that tracks all weather in the gulf and then the moment they become a sizeable enough formation, enough energetic bombs should be launched to disrupt the particular hurricane in formation. I bet it would take lot more energy to disrupt the hurricane once its formed.
>>16416775>create a rising column of warm air in a thing powered by a rising column of warm airIt won't work. You're just giving it energy and making it radioactive. More importantly you've now made it angry.

Cool name, it's a Red Dwarf, has the second-closest known Earth-sized planet (after Proxima B), which is within the habitable zone and most probably tidally-locked, and is relatively close to us, only 11 ly, making it the 12th closest stellar system to us.

The sense of purpose in bettering the collective is the key difference that drives them (us) and is the reason why Mars would be a better society. Importing E*rther wagies would kill the purpose of Mars which is to selectively filter who gets to be in a society and have those people be of extreme value.
