Flight 6 - editionprevious >>16479564
first for rocket yuri
Are we ever gonna get ass2ass? We've joked about it for so long I dont think i'll believe it when it actually happens
will vulcan ever catch up to Starship's cadence?
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1RDGlydZAeOJL11h 40min to go until official strem starts
>>16481951She will be lucky to catch up to new shepard cadence
>>16481946i just woke up! i am so excited to watch the starship flight 6 today!!
>>16481959don't jinx it nigga
Looks like Musk's plan of democratizing space access is going well. These threads are chock full of normal faggotry.
>>16481959didnt you say that yesterday

>>16481970how does it feel like being a faggot?
Don't mind the rocketgirls, just stop trying to hit the image limit so soon. We're going to need it for later today.
>>16481976ideally the launch spam will stay in the launch thread
>>16481976Tranime poster not avatar fagging challenge? Impossible.
>>16481977ERRM NO. That's the containment thread for the off board niggers. I will be staying here, as always.
>>16481976Jannies will just make this a sticky, or let us make another thread before page 10iirc the unspoken rule anyways was either page 10 OR image limit
>>16481979>containment thread for the off board niggersso you'll fit right in
>>16481978get a trip already, loser
>>16481980every recent launch they stickied the launch thread not /sfg/
Less than 24 hours to IFT6. Still not IFT5 video from pressure cope astronaut.
Anime is Elon approved
We gonna have a launch thread or do ya think they'll just sticky this
>>16481976Ok last one. Good luck superheavy!
>>16481988I have one prepped just waiting for the right time
>>16481985Cool. So is the thread to talk about politics since most of Elon posts are about it? No you faggot.
>>16481984he's getting fatter and fatter
>>16481990Noice
>>16481994obvious projection. put the fork down tubby.
>>16481993Spaceflight is politics
>>16481996This u?
>>16481949ass2ass was dropped in favor of dolphin sex
>>16481984Wouldn't it be hilarious if we got Flight 7 or 8 before he could even finish editing his video for 5?
>>16482008the shift from v1 to v2 makes me think we will have a longer period of time again between 6 and 7, since drumpft wont be in office yet. partially because its a whole new design, and partially because muh loicense change.
>>16481959you're not funny
>>16481956Ain't even gonna hit Atlas V + Delta IV cadence.
>>16481984he said he is going to stop making videos about starship lmao
>>16482028his descent into irrelevance is fantastic to watch
>>16482028he wont, all these EDS content makers will milk the EDS crowd dry for money. they will all continue making videos as long as they rake in views and advertizer money.
Only spacetuber I watch is Scott Manley
>>16482035TROON. NATIVE.
>>16482036yet a troon native is more manley and succesfull than any of you, he has a high paying job, is a smalltime celebrity, has many fruits of knowledge, and has bred his wife to produce multiple children.
>>16482036idk what that means
THIS TIME WE WILL HAVE DAYTIME LANDING!WE WILL SEE EVERYTHING!
>>16482039You people shouldn't be allowed to watch this flight. Your enjoyment should be stripped from you because you trap us in a rogget world when we could be developing other spacefaring tech.
there's an orbital re-light right? i need a reason to tune in.
>>16482042yes

>>16482044not space, not flight, not spaceflightkill yourself slavshit
Remember to report all the shitty scam streams
>>16482053reminder that ywnbaw
>>16482053last time I noticed one of these because they were reusing old countdown footage. it was from a "spaceX" channel with a musical note instead of a checkmark, still had a couple hundred thousand subs so must have been hacked and renamed.When T-0 happened it cut to AI elon asking for crypto that he would double and send back. the russkis doing this every time must make a killing.
Why does starshit look like a dilator?
>>16481955When did they add live chat to twatter?
>>16482060did you make this yourself?
>>16482055yawn ball?
>>16482061a while ago. i checked in to the a musk stream and i think i saw it at the time.
>>16482060you're a tranny, that's why
>>16482059it's amazing that there's enough retarded people out there that this actually works.they really think that musk man will magically double their shitcoins somehow, they don't even think to themselves "wait a minute, how does that even work?"
how many anons just woke up and are posting here? i pulled an all nighter because fucking mech lab bullshit
>>16482060it doesn't, you just think it does because you're a troon. also it's called starship, not starshit, petty namecalling doesn't make you sound less incoherent.
>>16482053How do you retards keep falling for those? Just subscribe to SpaceX' official channel on youtube and don't click on other shit, it's literally that easy.
>>16482070its obvious bait you dumb fuck
>>16482069im still awake from yesterday because im an alcoholic, gonna crash sometime before the launch though.
>>16482071>SpaceX' official channel on youtubekek
>petty namecalling doesn't make you sound less incoherentDoes the SLS really make people this mad?
>>16482071spacex doesnt do youtube streams anyways. nobody here is falling for it, just the unwashed masses that check in every 1 or 2 years to watch.
>>16482069i was going to take my tractor exam this morning but realized my ID had just expired like a retard, so i have to get a new one lel.starship flight 6 will console me while i dream of farming corn on mars.
>>16482077You'll never farm corn on mars fag. It infertile
>>16482072baiting is a sign of parental neglect so taking things seriously and scoffing at mentally invalid people pretending to be retarded when they reveal they were merely pretending is the right thing to do.
>>16482073how many times have i told you to stop hitting the fucking sauce anon. im an insomniac also but jeez louise every time i hear from you, youre fucking crashing out because you downed a bottle of vodka or something
>>16482079you're retarded, it can easily be made fertile with the addition of the right crop cycles and development of a proper mycorrhiza and soil culture.with the right biological development and enough precipitation you can easily break open the nutrients locked up inside topsoil minerals and start rapidly generating the biological material for a humus layer.
>>16482069All-nighter for Russian exam. Test, sleep, launch
>>16482086ive got aerostructures exam tomorrow, so i kinda fucked myself but i needed to get this shit done. 100 slide presentations are just lovely dont you think? fucking hell. and none of it is even going to be physically done its just planning a project for NEXT semester and doing presentations explaining how you would do it IF it was this semester.
>>16482086what are ya studying? most of my russian aquantances are trying to get IT jobs so they can save up enough cash to get the hell out of dodge and escape to finland or germany.
>>16482074>>16482076They post their flight trailers there.
>>16482090Studying Russian, not English. I am American
>>16482094how much do you think they pay in electricity for this putinbot to post here?

>>16482095if you want to be a NASA astronaut learning Russian is part of the qualifications you know.
>>16482098who in this general wants to be a NASA astronaut only please speak up
WE FLYING TODAY?
>>16482099i am absolutely not going to bother with the NASA pipeline since they probably consider ebonics to be a more important qualifier than actual competence.if i'd ever bother trying to become an astronaut, i'd go through the private pipeline.also no need to deal with russians since cooperation with those snowgerians is pretty much at an end and again i'm not going through nasa.
>>16481997imagine the smell
>>16482102"private pipeline" is just A- be a billionaire or B- Work for SpaceX
>>16482106you make it seem like both are impossible.
>>16482102giving yourself child cancer and having issacman send you up is also an option ig
>>16482110the best they did for the one that did get cancer was put her toy in space lmao.
>>16482101they fly now
>>16482106pretty soon they're gonna be asking for commanders and pilots to fly thousands of starships, there's not enough rich people to do or want to do that amount of work, they're gonna need qualified people whether they're rich or not.
I'm recreating the SLS on KSP and I find it's a really magnificent rocket. Compared to the starshit, I find it far more efficient, capable of handling a higher payload and it doesn't destroy local infastructure(using realism mod). Kinda like real life actually.https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/politics/spacex-starship-sonic-boom-damage.html
pre-emptive kek at anons give a (You) to above obvious bait.
>>16482115you are suffering from parental neglect and are looking to fill the hole left by the lack of you're parents' attention with negative responses online.this is unhealthy behaviour and you should seek contact with a psychiatrist.
>>16482060Gruesome.
Will booster reuse happen before SH V2?
Odds of the banana surviving reentry?
>>16482123probably not, dont see why they would bother when each booster so far is a more advanced design, a relaunch wouldnt yield as much data as just launching the next one thats already been made anyway
>>16482118I think you should consider your infactuation with the starshit and the way it illicits such emotive responses. I think it's a dangerous way of thinking considering today it'll explode during the first stage. The SLS may not be reusable, but it will safely get the astronauts and payload to orbit. Reusable parts will ALWAYS compromise reliability.
>>16482117>>16482115>look at me i'm pretending to be retarded hahapeople were making fun of you for this 15 years ago and they're still going to do this now, pretending to be retarded is basically the same as actually being a retard.
>>16482123Probably not. The outer raptor QDs are probably fired after launch.
>>16482126they stuck it at the most vulnerable spot for a reason. if any plasma gets through its over for that banana
>>16482128you should see >>16482129merely pretending doesn't shield you from being an autistic moron too dumb to do social interactions the normal way.
once again, I will attempt to have my coworkers watch the launch at nasa
>>16482130Booster 12 was lowered onto the OLM and hooked into the BQD like an hour after the catch
>>1648212650%
>>16482075SLS aka Scammy Ludicrous Sinkhole
What makes NASA launch systems so kino? Why has NASA got the monopoly on kino? Musk and his recycled tin cans will never have the same level of kino, and kino is what fuels the rocket.
>>16482136Not the main QD, I'm talking about the outer engine ring, they have separate QDs for each raptor, they get started by the OLM. Once they get to Raptor v3, they'll be starting all 33 engines with the main QD. Which is probably going to happen in a few months when they finish the second launch pad.
WE ARE GOING (to the scrapyard)
I hope we get to see more flap-chan magic today.
>>16482134You dont work at nasa
I farted
>>16482141Do you think the first reuse will be a block 2 booster? i don't think block 1 will be able to interface with the new OLM. Regradless I saw no damage on booster 12 beyond the engine bell warping that excludes a block 1 from reflying.
>>16482140see >>16482129
>>16482144yeah, I do. >for a contractor
https://strawpoll.com/e2naXDKQpyBIs Starship in-orbit engine relight going to succeed?
>>16482146All block 1 ships/boosters and all raptor 2s are prototypes/pathfinders. All the flights including this one have been focused on figuring out rapid reusability, and one of the main components is the launch infrastructure. The tower and launch pad are as important as the booster or the ship. And the main thing that is lagging and is the bottleneck is the launch pad. It doesn't matter if your booster can be re-flown if the pad isn't ready.

>>16482150Easy yes.
>nsf: 6 starship launch pads in floridawtf
>>16482155Supporting neocons is going to pay off.
>>16482155How is this surprising? Were getting 2 at Starbase, and KSC is the rocket capital of the world. If anything, Im surprised there isnt more going on there if they want 400 launches in 4 years.
>>16482150it only failed first time because the vehicle was facing the wrong way. if they can religth in atmosphere after reentry then they sure as hell can relight before reentry.
>>16482155SOON
>>16482160My jewdar is going off
you know how planes have to be re-routed for launches out of florida? yeah im thinking that aircraft will now be banned from the area and it will be re-designated as a rocket-only flight corridor.

What's the flight profile for IFT-6? How is it different from IFT-5?
>>16482162Or it will get so consistent that they are viewed like just another plane>if you look out the left window you'll see two rockets landing and one launching
>>16482037That's all very well but does he own a small plane? Unlikely
>>16482158it didn't even fail the first time - they didn't attempt the relight because they couldn't control attitude, which meant that a relight could end up pushing it out of its fairly narrow reentry zone, or would have issues due to fuel slosh

>>16482227Russian spaceflight is shameful. I imagine its not very spiriting to continue to look at the downfall of your countrys dominance of space to the absolute fucking disgrace it is now. I sure as shit wouldnt pay attention to russian spaceflight if I was a russian.

>>16482195>The next Starship flight test aims to expand the envelope on ship and booster capabilities and get closer to bringing reuse of the entire system online. Objectives include the booster once again returning to the launch site for catch, reigniting a ship Raptor engine while in space, and testing a suite of heatshield experiments and maneuvering changes for ship reentry and descent over the Indian Ocean. >Starship’s upper stage will fly the same suborbital trajectory as the previous flight test, with splashdown targeted in the Indian Ocean. An additional objective for this flight will be attempting an in-space burn using a single Raptor engine, further demonstrating the capabilities required to conduct a ship deorbit burn prior to orbital missions.>Several thermal protection experiments and operational changes will test the limits of Starship’s capabilities and generate flight data to inform plans for ship catch and reuse. The flight test will assess new secondary thermal protection materials and will have entire sections of heat shield tiles removed on either side of the ship in locations being studied for catch-enabling hardware on future vehicles. The ship also will intentionally fly at a higher angle of attack in the final phase of descent, purposefully stressing the limits of flap control to gain data on future landing profiles. Finally, adjusting the flight’s launch window to the late afternoon at Starbase will enable the ship to reenter over the Indian Ocean in daylight, providing better conditions for visual observations.
anybody have the pic with S30 and S31 side by side so its easy to see what tiles were removed?I scanned through some of the previous threads but didn't see it
>>16482240Starshield is already a thing.
so is hydrolox dead in the water tech now?The specific impulse is good but the space requirements are too much I think
>>16482269BO is going to give it a shot, remains to be seen if it works outNova from Stoke also has a hydrolox upper stage

>>16482131>they stuck it at the most vulnerable spot for a reason.to sell it on the web store
Would the steeper reentry on Starship actually help with the current burn through issues?Every Starship seems to have been fine in peak heating only to get wrecked when getting deeper in the atmosphere with less heat but much more dynamic pressure.Would the higher speed bleed-off in the upper atmosphere help with decreasing dynamic pressure later or would it be insignificant?

>>16482352Even if this happens, SLS will still never fly men to the Moon. A cadence of once every three years means 2033 at the earliest for Artemis 4. Orion heat shield may fail again on Artemis 2. Starship will be flying well over 100 times per year by then

>>16482370the point is that you're retarded because removing tiles won't make the hinges (where burnthrough happened) any hotter, like you claimed.
>>16482381But I didn't claim that at all, dumbass Point one: hinge burns through every time, might be a risk with higher heating Point two: they removed half the tiles down the middle, might be a risk with higher heating I'm sorry the way I formatted it originally was too difficult for you to understand
>>16482372because its a majority black shithole

>>16482413soft
>>16482281I’m really worried about a harder booster catch profile while trump is present. Do you think a failed catch could sour their relationship?
>>16482412as they are now economically speaking there's no way they're going to spend much more on spaceflight, and that's only one of their bottlenecks, the main bottleneck is lack of experienced employees.a lot of the soviet era guys have carked it and the younger replacements mostly left russia, they have a serious shortage of good engineers and what they do have are probably more incentivised to go into the MIC right now.
>every inhabited US territory except washington dc is run by a governorthat means the mars colony would likely have a governor sooner rather than later...
>>16482419Trump will want to distance himself from LOSER Elmo
>>16482404Speaking of, why does spaceguy5 continually deny that SLS costs 4.1 billion per launch? He keeps talking like it's some made up number but that number came from paul martin the inspector general for nasa. Surely he realizes denying it makes him look like a total fool right?
>>16482414They've got enough money, and the budgets only get looted when the Tzar isn't paying attention. The core problem is that right now they really just don't care. That'll change. The ISS decommissioning will put the existence of the cosmonaut program at risk, which will be seen as an unacceptable blow to Russian prestige.
>>16482419well we can guarantee it's gonna land or blow up trying
>>16481946If they don't destroy the tower this time around the whole thing is a failure
>>16482427SLS costs 40 billion per launch because that’s how much the program costs and it only launches 1 time.
>>16482287>"Twice as powerful">Payload of nothing
is it true that the flight is today? Wasn't the last flight like 2 weeks ago?
>>16482433Actually it's 32 billion atm
>>16482438It was in October anon.
>>164824382pm pst
Can someone give me a qrd on why the last launch was seconds away from failure
>>16482440Oh nevermind, pretty good deal then.
>>16482443Because it blew up in the Indian ocean ?
>>16482443Every fueled rocket is technically seconds away from failure
>>16482443for a rocket, 1 seconds is the same as 10 years
>>16481946OMG hahaahahaha the chat of NSF is sending super chats with super long city names :D
>>16482447old balloon skinned rockets didn't even need to be fueled to be seconds from failure
>>16482437you made that second part up
>>16482443From the Diablo stream:>We had a misconfigured spin gas abort that didn't have quite the right ramp-up time for bringing up spin pressure," he explains. "And we were one second away from that tripping and telling the rocket to abort and try to crash into the ground next to the tower instead of [landing at] the tower — like, erroneously tell a healthy rocket to not try that catch"
>>16482455Thanks.
>>16482455wow
>>16482338The beaver has a video where he talks about this.
>>16482443There was an incorrect check for abort conditions, so it nearly aborted instead of doing the catch

>>16482468Not until 18m Starship
>>16482427It's supposedly $2bn per launch for everything (logistics, facilities, Orion integration etc). The lowest possible cost projected is $500m after several Artemis missions but that's according to Boeing's extremely sketchy numbers.
>>16482463Starship's payload bay is full of our Love.
>>16482463False it brought up 40T of air
>>16482470Nah its 4.1 billion, paul martin the inspector general revealed that in a house subcommittee meeting last year.

>>16482480It will be 1000 starships every two years, or at least 200,000 tons of payload. Ten years after the first full fleet there will be 1 million tons of payload on Mars.That's probably not anywhere close to enough to support 1 million people, but it's not clear what fraction of resources will be ISRU. It could really be anything between 0 and 100%

how early is too early to bake the launch thread?the boys are already getting hyped over on /pol/ because trump is there and no one wants them coming here.Was gonna wait until an hour or two before the SpaceX stream starts but that might be too close.
>>16482519>it's not clear what fraction of resources will be ISRUIt will change from 0% to 100% over the course of the project. I don't know if you've worked with machines much but they're mostly dumb mass. It might be that pretty early on the ships are filled with computers and motors, and Martian industry is mostly Martian by mass. Like, within the next decade.

>>16482386pretty sure Obama got like 98% of the vote there
>>16482543Yeah, that's why I think the target launch rate is going to be fucking insane. Starship needs to be able to prevent boil off over several months anyway, so there's no reason to think they can't stage in orbit for a month or two, but that's still 1000 launches and between 5 and 15 times more fueling flights in, say, 90 days.That's somewhere between a launch every 8 minutes and a launch every 20 minutes.

>>16482562yep, yet they still dothese retards need to be explicitly ignored and told to fuck off generally speaking NIMBYs need to be ignored a lot more than they are now
>>16482560The simple answer is that we won’t get 1 million tons to mars by 2050. Not on starship at least.And that’s just fine, if it takes mars until 2150 to be completely self supporting it’s just not that big of an issue. As long as we get the ball rolling while we can.
>>16482565Only fuck the ones that cough.
>>16482554you're retarded, it's only 5 flights
Do you think Trump will announce his pick for NASA administrator at Starbase?
>>16482569Just divide the time required to ready a flight on one launch mount by the required time between launches to get the number of launch mounts.If they can get the time between launches to, for example, 4 hours, they'd only need 30 OLMs, but they'd need to be doing everything like clockwork.Given that it's SpaceX I think they could do it, but what about all the hardware that's supposed to be on the Starships? Getting all the Mars hardware ready at those rates at the same time is hard to imagine.
>>16482559i forgot to say republican candidate
>>16482573If Starship performs nominally, he will nominate Kathy Leuders. If it blows up, he will break up with Elon and nominate Bob Smith of Blue Origin.
>>16481959anon please stop cursing it
>>16482574you could stage hardware in orbit for relatively long time and then start the refueling operations when the Mars window starts coming up i.e. first launch a bunch of mars bound starships, then refill them laterthe later you wait until the actual window opens up, the less boiloff and the less launches you needbut perhaps there will be some permanent orbital propellant infrastructure or something that has near zero boiloff which can be refilled continuously between the mars windowsyou could have multiple zero-boiloff orbital stations with all kinds of extra infrastructure that wouldn't make sense to put on a tanker or a mars bound ship to minimize the boiloff
launch hype!!
>>16482560That ends up being a daily launch and land rate larger than Heathrow. Not going to happen.
>>16482481Why is the moon so frayed in the upper half? Did some escaped engine rats get to it?
Just realized, if the re-light works then isn't Starship basically operational?
>>16482583Elon willing, you will eat those words.
Flight 6: A Farewell to Arms
>>16482585either that or its a nice exposure of the terminator
>>16482587They’ll probably start flying real payloads on flight 8. mayyyybe starlinks on flight 7, but I doubt it.
Why aren't they catching Starship?
>>16482587they still need a working payload door

>>16482625oh no only 500 cubic meters
https://spacenews.com/senators-ask-pentagon-and-doj-to-investigate-putin-musk-calls/Foust posting this shit again
>>16482608really not a bad idea. but here what i think - i live right under a busy commercial flight path so there are often loud engines noises, sometimes it seems constantly, and they last for a couple minutes each. they can happen at any time of day or night, and are often loud enough to hear indoors.With launches and catches you would know exactly when they are going to happen and could easily time them for using power tools or whatever you want if you dont want to hear them. I find that its the unknown loud noises that are the worst. if i can expect them then i dont feel as if im having my life controlled by someone elses shit.
>>16482624>SpaceX continues F9 operations with a skeleton crew and continues to mog the rest of the world with a legacy vehicle while launching several orders of magnitude more payload on StarshipI believe it
>>16482628They should so Musk can use it as a weapon against shitlibs next election.
>>16482628You can't just investigate a US citizen for merely talking to a foreign dictator
>>16482627Not really that impressive when new glenn is going to have fairing around that size, especially with rocket of that size
>>16482626That’ll free up a lot of f9 cadence and maybe drive its price down.

Thank you, Elon,” Trump said at an October 24 rally. “Get that spaceship going, Elon.”

>>16482637yeah they screech. i dont get used to it unfortunately because im a bit autistic that way, and also i live inawoods, so theres no other background noise, but it is what it is. sometimes the path shifts about 70 miles north due to the jetstream so they can be gone for days and weeks at a time. but yeah, if i knew when they were going to happen it really wouldn't be a problem for me at all and i'd probably enjoy the sounds. maybe that seems odd but oh well.

>>16482684I realize you lack critical thought and are told what to think by the media but chanting "Logan Act" over and over again does not magically make Elon speaking to Putin a crime.
>>16482692its not going to put anything to rest you dumb fuck, if he does that then Democrats are going to manufacture some other bullshit and whine about that
>>16482692the fastest way to put things to rest is to do nothing while you fuck off, because you and the people you side with have no leverage to make demands of anyone.

>>16482778imagine if BO launched new glenn on the day of a starship launch and got totally overshadowed
>>16482784like how starliner got overshadowed by ift-4? fortunate for boeing, in retrospect.
Trump is on his way to watch the Starship launch
>>16482779No, I just live in Russia, and Monster Energy isn't sold here anymore due to sanctions. Although the cans from Poland are bigger. Full 500ml instead of 450ml like every energy drink here, even local pre-war Monster. Interestingly, Monster Energy is made by Monster Beverage, which also makes Burn, and that piss is still here.

>>16482751Oh, it's the retarded communist /pol/tard again.
>>16482709>muh egoChildish and ignorant take. Trump is not egotistical, he's a narcissist, which is different. He always points at people around him and tells them they are great, so he can claim that he is great by association. He wants to be liked and loves having popular people around him. It's why he loves having Elon around. As for Elon, he's supremely autistic and has severe daddy issues. It's why he always tries to prove himself and outdo everyone. It's why Trumps father figure and approval is something he yearns for. Their mental issues feed off of each other.

>>16482911i am drinking orange jews instead in honor of richard feynman
>>16482951>>16482953Based. How do you think the Trump admin which will most like defer to Elon on space policy will reform NASA?I think it would be best to get out of the launch and rocket design industry entirely. Fire all the useless DEI employees and turn NASA into a tech startup style skunk works. Elon has figured out launch and figured out funding via starlink, but the government is better positioned. I think they should handle things the market does poorly. Put as much money into R&D of novel technologies as possible that can be licensed to the space industry (with some profit going to the engineers responsible to make it attractive vs private industry). They need to go all in on nuclear, Nerva, any ambitious research like fusion, plasma magnet sails, spin gravity, materials science. Stuff that won’t return a profit next quarter or possibly ever, but will help the industry in the long term. They need to go all in at the cape and create as many pads as possible. Use eminent domain to clear out the area around Boca Chica. And they need to take the lead on manned space flight, astronaut training, etc, and take the fall when humans inevitably die, as that’s when the anti Elon anti space push will be the most hysterical. They should work with university student teams around the country, take advantage of starship’s massive lift capacity to make as many cheap deep space probes as possible that don’t need mass autism. They should give seed funding to new space startups, and give a contract for a new massive LEO station that tests things like spin gravity, plus massive deep space telescopes and telescopes on the dark side of the moon.
>>16482979actually the image is meant to show that it is large
>>16482992Most of that is already implied by canceling SLS, which is reliant on Trump beating up the Senate more than anything Elon can ask for directly. I think most of what Elon wants is a fair shot - no bullshit discrimination against his companies for contracting, no red tape for launch so he can do 3x a day for Starship.
>>16482761Sorry, sweaty. I don't stay up to date on the goings on of fantasy land. Real rockets are cool than cheap fantasy.
>>16482979>>16482996starship is fairly medium sized
>>16482761/sfg/: Groundsit General
>>16483001No it's super duper
>>16482979if parliament tower and big ben ever launched into space it would be a big deal. Starship is more of a big deal when you think about it because the houses of parliament could not even consider trying to catch it again.
>>16483005they would be too busy trying to arrest the person that launched it
>>16483001The eiffel tower is very very small compared to Mt everest and starship is mediocre compared even to that yooge structure.
>>16482997I agree, Elon doesn’t even need much help, just for the gov to fuck off and get out of his way. But I think this is a great opportunity to make sweeping reform. Honestly good ideas generated ITT could get implemented if someone tweeted at him because he’s so online. Ideally we should reform NASA to be far more ambitious, pick up the slack on stuff Elon doesn’t have the time to focus on like habitats and nuclear reactors. If NASA even became half as useful as SpaceX per dollar spent, we’ll explore the stars decades ahead of schedule.
>>16483009at least they'd get another reason to have a bonfire and burn an effigy
>>16482805Why would anyone want to gain 500 lbs?
>>16482953it's weird, normally you'd expect such a massive, ambitious, and spectacular display of engineering prowess would be praised and paid attention to by the president, but it's only happening now, biden really did everything in his power to shove anything elon related into a little corner and pretend it didn't exist, even though artemis damn well relies on it.
>>16482911Just hit 2100 here, I'm going to crack one open
>>16482992NASA should focus on science which would include launching humans to the moon and mars as well (they are effective at gathering shit and so on)but they should not create launch vehicles, they aren't very good at itnot sure if they should even research novel propulsion systems, they seem kind of shit at itbut maybe if they actually did it, greason had some ideas about reforming the system
>>16482901Trump looks like he pulled some pantyhose on his head to rob a gas station
>>16483018just cracked one and its 10pm now, I might have fucked up
>>16483019all the great novel ideas for propulsion have been researchedthey were testing functional nuclear rockets and ramjets in the 50s/60s.
Always brings a smile to my face to see how humiliated our loval EDStroons are

>>16482830I will be in about 2 hours
>>16483011Reactor dev typically goes under DoE, and Trump's pick for Secretary of Energy is a pro-nuclear guy.
>>16483023there are still novel propulsion ideas that haven’t been truly tested. Like solar sails, antimatter rockets, and tape outgassing drives.
>>16483022Caffeine always makes me sleep if I'm tired
>>16483023yes, and they were SUCCEEDING, and then their funding got cut.just bring it back again, and release it to american companies once it's mature enough as a concept.
>>16483023then test the not "great" ones thenor delete the agency if they have no reason to exist
>>164830282 hours?
>>16483027>stop at those gas station restaurants to eat pancakesAmeriburger here, don't eat gas station food unless you want to also experience the American pastime of five-figure hospital bills. Only buy packaged food from gas stations. If you want to enjoy pancakes just stop at like Ihop/Waffle House/Denny's or some other breakfast diner.

>>16482946They take the entire thing apart piece by piece, measure and mark up everything so it'll line up when reassembled, and cut each part with whatever tool is required for it. It's a mark of real craftsmanship that it ends up looking like it was sliced all at once.You have to remember, only the most autistic and dedicated people in their field work in museums. Usually retirees with decades of experience, almost always volunteers. A lot of times, guys who actually helped build the thing back in the day will end up being the ones restoring it and getting it ready for display.

I've gotten drunk(-ish) only once by chugging half a bottle of wine for emergency relaxation and just to see how this shit works, and the buzz experience was not something I'd call enjoyable.

I'm going to kill myself. FUCK THIS GAY EARTH
>cut out right before it tips overWHAT THE FUCK
Something wrong with the tower?Or just overly cautious abort?
I wish to change my vote to Kamala.
Aww, she would have made the catch if she’d tried it
>>16484036no exploosions allowed per FAA orders

Curious to know what caused the divert. Landing burn seemed to go well. Glad that Musk usually tweets something soon after.
>no go for relight engineWhat an embarrassing test
>Super Heavy won't be able to land if there is a breezeHow exactly can this be considered fully reusable?
Wonder if the booster failed for the same reason the catch last time was 1 second from being aborted?

>>16484235would have come anyway lol
>>16484217True. All you had to do is make a few phone calls and do some factory tours with Bezos and Beck. And Elon would have easily said yes as well. Whoever was in charge of PR the last four years is a fucking retard, but this should be a surprise to no one lol
>>16484199>not mission criticalit is though. Public perception is key and the vast majority were watching this to see the catch. 7th flight better come soon....

>>16484542>bro go reach orbit untested lol dontaalso the biggest problem with ullage is startup, sustaining is easier
>>16484517But they said nominal orbital insertion :(
>>16484564Next time we get block 2 and all the issues it might have.>>16484575Yeah that's not foam. Go to the tourist thread.
Is this the worst flight test since SN11? I'm bored as fuck.
>>16484575That's obviously a rat. Space confirmed fake.
>>16484564yeah, there's no way they will deploy them if starship hasn't even completed a full orbit onceift-7 will probably be a full orbit or two
Reentry is so pretty. Probably my favourite parts of these streams.
Damn that is high AoALike hitting a brick wall at 28000kph
>>16484582What is it then genius.
>>16484575That's not foam anon.
>>16484584best music though
I'd say that all Raptor 2 flights are gonna be pretty spotty in terms of landing. Not until they start mapping Raptor 3s to the ships and boosters, will we see more consistent launch/landing performance me thinks.
>>16484568Gives me subnautica vibes.
>>16484593Ice you retard
>>16484593Guess.
Give me the BananaCam right nowAnd don't forget the BuoyCam
>>16484584Dude, chill, flapchan is making a comeback.
>>16484591more like hitting a water from 4 stories up
Will it make rentry?
>>16484569Oh man, the flashbacks, I think I still have the CD of 3d Movie Maker.
>>16484602>>16484605>i-it's icecope. Enjoy another Challanger.
>>16484375that's what you're doing, yes.why point it out? you could just stop doing it.
>>16484615no reentry is cancelled. Musk failed us again
Oi bruv
Why hasnt heavy been blown up yet?
I hope the flaps don't leak this time
>>16484624I know you thought this was clever, but it just makes you look more mad
At least Clear is cute
>>16484623You're terminally fucking retarded. Get off my /sci/ you fucking tourist.
oh man those ice fronds are sick
>>16484593Rat

ICE SPACE RAT IS BACK!!!
Some excellent shots
>>16484635I love how she tried to cheer us up after the catch abort.
If they know where this is going to splash down are they going to try and recover it
>>16484645plasma seggs
Im so fucking happy it was flight 5 that I went to Starbase for. Also kek at that anon thats out $600
What was the altitude when the burn through happened, 60 km?
>>16484634>y-you look madand you ARE mad.take a glass of water.
>>16484635If only i could understand here.
>>16484645interesting how those rats persist despite the heat of reentry
>>16484623Jesus christ lmao.
when is it going to be day time again?
Status on the banana?
gonna go take a shit. been holding it in ever since launchyou fucker better not explode bitch >:(
>flaps taking over from RCSbased
>>16484593aliens
>>16484623Jesus fucking christ how do you breathe
Flaps out for harambe
>>16484666Its coming soon satan
>>16484658>NO YOUR MAD>NO YOUShut the fuck up faggot
Peak heating phase
peak heating with bald sides
looks like it's an exhaust pipe lol"muh foam"
The flap offset has led to such a massive improvement in the reentry profile. The plasma dynamic is waaaaaaaay smoother now.
Pushing older generation heatshields
>sparks are coming offoh no
Yeah this fucker is definetly about to explode. Its fucking over
>Sparks startingITS OVER
>>16484093They just confirmed it's hair. She's balding.

Behold, the piss-beam
>>16484680woah calm down anon, are you upset that nobody liked your funny zoomer meme?
>>16484676
banaan status?
>>16484692This one doesn't have the flap offset yet
>2100 tilesholy shit
TWENTY ONE HUNDRED TILE SALUTE
It hasn't started eating through the metal yet. Calm your sphincters.
>still no bay camYeah it's an oven in there
This is about where I'd see the temperature gauge skyrocket in KSP and panic fire the engine
>>16484704>>16484709REUSABLE SPARKS WHEN??
>all this damage controllingIt's going to explode isn't it?
>>16484716I want you to stop responding to an hour old troll post to explain that you aren't mad.
>>16484719S31 has the offset or S32 onwards does?

>>16484734>i was merely pretending to be retardeddoesn't work, never did work, you should stop doing that.
>>16484706They are already making excuses, saying they are "intentionally pushing it beyond its design".
The edges.
>>16484727Mmm, fried banana
>the sparks
>>16484746Never mind, my mistake for getting involved in a retard fight.

holy fuck those flaps are cooking

>>16484714>>16484715I'M PISSING ON THE MOOOOON
>>16484748It's over.
>>16484761First time watching? This is nothing.
I don't like those colors
>>16483050we need to put one of these into the atmosphere of Venus>>16484114I want to hear it from somebody in Galveston, I'm a similar distance from Cape Kennedy
>>16484776pretty colors :)
OH FUCK ITS MELTING
Flap colors seem to be reflections so far.
>aft engine bayas opposed to???
Most boring test flight so far. Literally the only new thing was a 3 second relight in space.
DAYLIGHT
You can see the steel getting deformed
Oh that cyan color is really pretty actually.
>>16484798Bow engine bayYou will never know the joy of the pendulum rocket
The cloud layer from the sunlight is sick
>>16484802moar data
ELON LIEDSTARSHIP DIED
>>16484808No you can't. The flaps are not uniformly flat. They're made of the same rolls of steel the rest of it is.
>deformed steelit's over
These are some trippy 80s colours.
>it's wrinkling up
>>16484809yeah, was it present last time? I don't remember
> it's literally melting.
>>16484563they'll fine you for littering
KINO KINO KINO
>CLOUDS VISIBLE
its okay, they're going to be doing alot of hardware tests before the real starship launches in 2026
hmm those sparks are looking a lot sparkier
the joints are holding up a lot better than last time
FLAP-CHAN IS STRONK
How many Gs is this decel
>FLAP MOVEMENT
Daylight reentry is so fucking amazing yo.
HOLY
this is pretty kino not gonna lie
whats the black tile thing on the flap?
AMAZING VIEWS
EXTERNAL TEMPS DROPPING, NO FLAPPY MELT YET
Remember when these things were just doing 150m hops? Anon remembers
>external temperatures are coming downWE MADE IT
>>16484852MELTY
hello burnthrough
>>16484832God the /sfg/ cope is delicious today
Flap-chan... ;_;7
The right most top flap is melting. Holy crap.
OH NO NO NO NO FLAP MELT THROUGH
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOITS MELTING
They've already bled off more than half the speed from orbital speed. So its good
>>16484841~1.2
Uh oh, metal is getting spicy
oh man look at the tempter rainbow on the flaps
>>16484855>temperature goes down>Oxygen concentration goes upuh oh
>melting starts after peak heating againmaybe we should just never stop heating and this won't happen.
>>16484841seems like just over 30 km/hs so about 1 Gwish they would unhide the navball
>crispy starshiph-hot....
No more plasma, we made it!
>>16484882on the body too
>>16484868>>16484872Flapchan won't let us down
>>16484892Yep. Easy. I think it was just welding job imo.
OH MAN reused starships are going to be absolutely rainbow, so pretty
>burn through on right flap
>bright orangeoh shit oh fuck
holy shit that entire orange section
SPICY FLAP
WTF
>>16484905We're going to get a no-glow flap next time or on flight 8. So based.
Less damage to flap-chan than previous flights.
it's okay it cooled back down :)
orange flap bad
Looks like the flap hinge cover area burned partly, that white spot had embers in it.
Wow the clouds are pretty
THE MARKOF THE ORANGE MAN
It's literally that easy in steel rocketry
>>16484921Lil' toasty is all.
>>16484900did he died?
>ganbare flapu~I love clear
>>16484899>absolutely rainbowiridescent
looks SO much better than flight 5
The rainbow tempering of the ship skin and the cloud layer reflecting off the ship's surface is a gorgeous shot.
See now? All that "melting" or "buckling" was just fucking annealing.
Approaching terminal velocity now. Pretty good
>>16484937Starship merely grows tougher from this experience.
BELLYFLOP HERE WE GO
>>16484930It's reversed
KINO!!
The horizon shot is SCI-FI AS FUCK
>camera wobblewhy do directors do this
>>16484960the camera is on a flap
>>16484960here comes another chinese earthquakeEBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBR
>>16484960Camera is on the flap and it's rather busy controlling shit.
>>16484947More brittle you mean.
>>16484905Orange for Orange Man's visit
>>16484960Camera on flapMicro adjustment of flaps
HOLY SHIT WERE FALLING

Absolutely beautiful.Starship Chan GO GO GO
>>16484960Superman is drunk.
It's that easy in rocketry
KINO FLAP CONTROL AND LANDING
>303 km/h terminal velocity>nice relight>perfect landing
BUOY-CAM!!!
>>16484960To hide the CGI
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THAT'S AMAZING.
BOUY
NICE
looked clean
FREE WILLY
>perfect landing
INCREDIBASED
YEEEAHHHHHH
>the flaps survivedOH SHIT
but what about the bananait's gonna burn up!!!!!!!
They're ready for ship catch
Fiery, but mostly successful landing
Flight 6 redeemed
This flight was as predicated, absolutely bananas.
It's just that easy in stainless steel-etry
>>16485017A fish will eat it.
>>16485012>DOUBTING FLAP-CHAN
banana status?
Best ship performance so far, landing looked better than last time too
Awkward.
one of the engines failed right before shutdown?
so awkward lol
>>16485029a seal is going to choke on it :(
we are at the strange state of starship being more successful than super heavy
>flight over>image limitBake new thread, negroes
lmao that camera hold
Steel-chama... I kneel.
>>16485038they relight 3 but only land on 2 secondary-kun
Starship V2 next.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat this, this flight was one massive setback.
>women stop talking>stare right at the cameraW-what? What am I supposed to say?
>>16485038No, I think it was intended to shut down based on how it was called out.
>thanks dadHuh? Am I missing some lore here?
>>16485038Nah, it goes down to two after the flip.
I didn't like the way they stared at me. It felt uncomfortable.
HEAVY AND STARSHIP BOTH MADE IT BACK TO EARTH IN ONE PIECETHUNDERKEKs EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!!
>>16484932yeah
>>16485057You missed your shot... Now they think you're creepy.
>>16485079No catch = No winSorry that's the rule.
Overall a good test flight. I'd like to know what caused the catch abort, but everything else went well. Good job, SpaceX.
>>16485079don't you know your basic elements? they made it back to water, not earth.
Heli, and boat close to super heavy.
>>16484718warmed and still deep inside
sad about B14 but S33 surviving made up for it, congrats to all the engineers
Overall I think that was a successful test, the booster landing was a shame but it's always a good thing that Musk is humbled a bit and reminded of the importance of safety. Starship itself was spectacular, they wanted to push the design to the limits and it still not only survived but also landed perfectly. Very good results.
>>16485086THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>16485086I'd like to know what caused that strong cyan color during reentry. That was definitely a new color for plasma.
>>16485089Chinese fishermen desperately looking for it to serve as dessert.
>>16485057>y-y-you t-t-too
Next flight next week
Unlucky booster 13. Glad we're past it now. Otherwise, excellent flight.
My sources tell me that the catch abort was called by a rogue spacex engineer who wanted to spite Trump.
Starship: 6New Glenn: 0Neutron: 0Nova: 0SLS: 1
>>16485085this. anything less than a catch is a failure now
>>16485108meant for >>16485094
NEXT LAUNCH IN 2 WEEKS
>>16485116more starship launch than europe this year?
>>16485116That one banana was more payload than Blorigin has ever had in orbit.
lets stage this bitch i wanna see all the pretty colours again
>>16485122they dont have anymore available starships that are ready for launch. most likely next launch is in the spring.
>>16485102agreed.
Thread has staged.Ignition:>>16485135>>16485135>>16485135>>16485135
>>16485134They already did cryo-testing on S33, don't know whats stopping them from sending it
>>16485102Definitely excited to see the performance gain with the next iteration of heat shield design. It seems that the avionics profile is performing fantastically.
Well that was cool. Back to fortnight-posting now.
>>16485105Probably an alloy or new mix of materials. Copper and Aluminium should be greenish-blue for example.
>>16483677are they doing this just to fuck with Locksneed?
>>16482753>So why did Trump need to pardon Michael Flyyn and Paul Manafort? Over nothing?If it was over collusion with russia you wouldn't be asking this rhetorical question
>>16483958is this a record?
>>16484353t. hotstage ring
Nothing ever happens
>>16485373Here's some more for you>Why did Michael Flynn lie to the FBI about talking to the russian ambassador during the presidential transition?>Why did he plead guilty?>Who did Flynn report back to after his discussion?For people that like to "just ask questions" you seem really scared to answer any of them.
>>16483472but he will be fined by the FDA for transporting fruit across state lines
>>16483587did you learn nothing from A Christmas Story?!
i just came back from workwhy no catch?:(
>>16485540it was a plushy, not a fruit
REEEEEEEEE
