Would it even be possible to land something on Sedna and have it be functional? Let alone outer solar system bodies? Surely the input latency would be so massive that it would be impossible.
Why does it always come back to tesla stock with these people?
>>16487760Because Musk "skepticism" started with Tesla and stocktards, in this case shorters, are obsessed with him.
What would it take for Bezos to give up on launchers and focus on space stations? Would he rather die without seeing his dream realized, than just using SpaceX to launch his hardware? I don't understand. If I was in his position I would've built Orbital Reef using Falcon 9 already. Does he care about space at all? Or does he care but his ego matters more?
>>16487768>Does he care about space at all?hahahaNo.
>>16487768the actions he takes, this seems to be about clout and ego more than the importance of the achievements themselvesyou can see it in the fact that he wasn't involved with BO until a year or two ago, i.e. he didn't really give a shit about it
>>16487738I wonder why some are less "lit up" than other
>>16487768>Would he rather die without seeing his dream realized, than just using SpaceX to launch his hardware?Yes. Reminder that the board of Kuiper got mad because he refused to launch on Falcon 9.
>>16487768>Or does he care but his ego matters more?It's not so much his ego as his own identity thats at stake here. It's been known for a while that bezos wanted to do this since childhood. He sees himself as the space guy. So when someone else actually becomes the thing he wants to be then it's a threat to his self-conception.
>>16487768>Or does he care but his ego matters more?His ego. Just look at that whole thing about the old saturn 5 rocket engines he had a crew pick up from the bottom of the ocean. That entire docu was one big circlejerk about how he is such a space visionary, but at the same time articles were leaking out that blue origin was in trouble because bezos put yes men in control of the company who only knew how to run warehouses and abuse their staff.
>>16487769>>16487771>>16487776>>16487778>>16487783Well, bummer. He definitely has more liquidity than Musk, I'd have to guess several times more considering their very different positions. His cash could've been a real help to SpaceX. Building his giant space stations between Mars windows would've been a cool way to keep up the cadence. I'm not nearly as optimistic about cylinders and asteroid mining as I am about Mars, but the sooner we get them figured out the sooner we can stick an Orion drive on the back. His work could've still been remembered by history
i dont know or understand any of the technical stuff behind spaceflight, but i love it anyway
>>16487786I stay for the cute anime rocket girls.
>>16487768All Bezos cares about is appealing to his own vanity, he’s put his midlife crisis on full display for the entire world and it’s pathetic. That webm of him blasting champagne at his horrifying demon bimbo wife while William Shatner sits solemnly after they’ve both experienced one of the most profound things a human can go through shows he doesn’t actually care about space and just wants to appear like a cool billionaire

>>16487886What do you mean by that?
As NASA increasingly relies on commercial space, there are some troubling signs >There are growing concerns about the sustainability of this strategy, though. Some contractors are struggling financially, and others have bowed out of commercial programs entirely. Inside the space agency, too, there appears to be some pushback against these private space initiatives, with agency officials seeking more control. Some key commercial space leaders have left or been edged out of the agency, leaving questions about who will champion these programs. In short, after nearly two decades, NASA’s commercial space efforts are starting to show some cracks.>The problem is that NASA has gotten away from the guiding principles that led to success with the early cargo and crew programs.>Some of the new commercial programs have skipped the COTS development phase entirely and have gone directly into the services phase—even though the contractors are still developing their hardware. NASA also appears to be funding a far lower share of costs than it did during the cargo and crew programs. Additionally, many of the new programs do not have any near-term customers except the government, so NASA is not one of many customers—it is the only customer.>And perhaps most importantly, NASA is loading the companies down with requirements. NASA is adding requirements, changing them, and burdening contractors with thousands of requirements rather than hundreds.>“They have shoved a cost-plus contract into a fixed-price environment,” one senior government source said. “Instead of a lean contract, there are thousands of requirements for something that has no other customers.”>Added an official from a commercial space company working on a fixed-price contract with NASA: “It certainly feels like a lot of people are treating us like we’re a cost-plus contractor."https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/11/as-nasa-increasingly-relies-on-commercial-space-there-are-some-troubling-signs/
>>16487890if the filesize is limited but the playtime is not, the possibility exists that we may be exposed to a moving postage stamp sized video several hours long, and THAT cannot be ricked or tolerated
>>16487891>The cost of fixed price huh
>>16487888because the doors had to be open all the time while in orbit?
>>16487893nasa is making it harder for companies to complete the contracts. the requirements are too much for newspace companies, and the money too low for oldspace companies, so its becoming very ineffecient and useless.
>>16487891Hopefully the new admin is going to fix that.
>>16487894kek, I meant in missions where they wouldn't be deploying any payloads, just chilling inside as if it were a space station. they could dedicate one of the orbiters, say endeavor or discovery, for this, so that they don't have to add and remove the extra ECLSS all the time.
I've extracted the original size of the sonic boom maps from the pdf
>>16487895it would work if every company was spacex
>>16487899it was designed to be modular you dope
>>16487903we were fucking ROBBED
>>16487902i was wondering if the companies working on these projects could hire spacex or some other company to help them get the contracts done
>>16487849we know the answer to that for at least the mobics on the ground, and the answer is yesbut I don't think the men holding the keys to the kingdom feel the same way
>>16487823What the fuck? Those don't look like MIRVs
>>16487899NTA but the payload bay doors HAD to open on the Shuttle no matter what. It’s the only way the radiators could work. If the doors got jammed, it would abort the mission and the orbiter had to return to Earth.The closest thing to what you are describing would be SpaceHab
>>16487895then just make the requirements laxer, easyif no one else except spacex is able to compete, then make the competition easier and have multiple providers so other companies get a lifelineshould still be much cheaper and better than cost+ to oldspace

>“I don't know if they understand what they're doing,” a private industry official said. “The government's really got to look at itself. They’ve got to continue to strip it down and keep the focus on ‘how do I get this hardware out?’ They do that by being very, very, very thoughtful about how they're managing the contract. They’ve always got to be thinking, ‘How do I reduce my overhead on the contract?’ It forces you to be very deliberate in all aspects of your product, program, and project management related to that service. And honestly, if you do that, guess what? You get more hardware for your dollars.”
do you think trump's nasa will pay more respect to the advice of the oig? if he wants a moon landing this term he can't have any more schedule slips
>>16487931>the ratio of NASA engineers working on a program is essentially 1:1 with those of the private contractorsthis is completely insaneWhy are they hiring contractors at all in the first place if your "management" team is bigger than the full time contractors team ????

>>16488048>>16488044They follow the SpaceX playbook where the foundational layer is software and everything is built on top of it. Traditional entities in space do the opposite, in that they build the hardware first and worry about the software after or outsource it to a subprime to handle it. This makes the capabilities specialized, but lack any flexibility to evolve and tends to require a redesign on a contracted basis. SpaceX, Anduril, couple software and hardware at its source, so that changes in hardware informed by physics, will feedback into the software layer and in turn drive innovation to allow new options downstream of its development pipelines.It's what has allowed them to accelerate and disrupt spaces that have been otherwise strangeheld and stagnant.
>>16488066>softwareah, so its a scam
>>16488063The tighter the taper at the bottom, the stiffer it is, and less wobbly it is. This is fine. Look at Ariane's fairings if you want an extreme example

>>16488085>Apollo level techLM10 shares a supply chain with other rockets like LM10A and LM12, which should make it a lot cheaper than a bespoke rocket like Apollo's S5. Likewise, the Mengzhou capsule has a LEO variant. LM10 also shares a pad with LM10A. So at least they should be able to launch more times than Apollo did, without breaking the bank.>catch up 10-20yrs of progress in the next 4yrs.LM9 schedule was moved left to NET 2030, and that rocket could probably be used to deliver about 50t of cargo to the moon. The full reuse variant is now NET 2033-2035. So it might be less than 10 years rather than 20 years

How many FFSC MOX engines does China have in development now? I know of CASC's YF-215, Landspace's BF-20, and JZYJ's FY-100/200. Are there any more?https://x.com/raz_liu/status/1858719132566647119

When will the first cathedral be built on Mars? I'm thinking no later than 2045
>>16488322It takes longer than 21 years to build a cathedral on earth
anyone got a collection of these aerospace pics and shit in a cloud drivethey're kino
>>16488322The first 10 mars missions will not end well.
>>16488326although not reaally a cathedral, here is an examplehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia>Barcelona Church Under Construction for 142 Years>to be completed in 2026the SLS of churches
>>16488326it should be a steel tower that is 3km tall and 9km wide

>>16488326If you went with mostly standard bricks and went all cast stone, you could have rapidly additive manufactured molds for the more complex stuff and have it built in the same time as any brick building. Also you could go smaller.>>16488330Elaborate.
>>16487840i want a new stargate series set in the 2040s where colonists find a gate on mars and instead of air force its space force
>>16488296Ispace/interstellar glory too
>>16488153It's electro static propulsion, not magnetism, its the canceling out of inertia
>>16488338No, amazon is doing a reboot of stargate now that they own the IP. And they will fuck it in to the ground with woke girlbosses.
>>16488001i am fundamentally against postage stamp sized motion pictures and thats my final word on the matter.

>>16488344No it'll be great! Bezos loves space!

>>16488355Who cares I had Constellation program posters in my room growing up
>>16488344so bezos just likes to buy rights to beloved book/tv franchises and make them gay

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Launch_SystemBehold! the National Launch System. A Shuttle-derived launcher, designed to be affordable, efficient, and cheap, using existing technology. This rocket will be built across all 50 states, and will enable the US to go back to the Moon, and one day, to Mars. It began development in 1991 and... wait a moment.
>>16488372if sls started 10 years later it would've just used falcon heavy

>>16488411This is why you put your cylinders inside a space rock>>16488413Yes
>>16488387that they have constant live VIDEO during reentry is amazing. if it can do that when coming in from the moon, well.....no more 6 minute black outs waiting to see if anyone survived.
>>16488344Amazon already did that years ago with Catherine as the lead. I don't think they have any more plans after it flopped hard
>>16488411Robo waifus and artificial wombs render biocunts obsolete. The future is all male and it's going to be amazing.
>>16488409>the entire continent of europe had fewer launches this year than spacex in the last 48 hourseurobros.... it's over.....
>>16488409We are going to rule the solar system
>>16488284If the Chinese stole the pre-cooler tech then RE deserved bankruptcy
>>16488420Sounds kinda gay. Just don't let them have rights on Mars and you're good
>>16488409HABBENING?
>>16488409Only qualms is that I dont trust the Congressional control over SpaceX either. Its trading one regulation for another. I get the pretty words, but I dont trust words.
>>16488419The rumor going around now is that amazon wants to do a new stargate series.The writers of SG1&SGA pitched a new series that would tie in to the older series. But amazon made clear that they want a reboot. But again, rumors, take it as it is. And for the anons who want to report me for talking about a scfi show on /sfg/, lurk longer before you do something stupid.

did they say yet why the catch was canceled?

>>16488455Yeah honestly what the fuck is up with that
>>16488456yeah
>>16488460what was the reason?
>>16488285>I don't read too much into it, but with how close that back one is landed to the base, I hope they are hinting at a permanent base variant.permanently based
odds of the area in the red circle ever being occupied by spacex? now that trump won, the gorillion environmental agencies can just fuck off. if they have the goal of eventually churning out one starship every 8 hours, then they are going to need a lot of space, even if they have multiple sites across the US. 50/50 anons, abstain from replying.
>>16488333>SN - 042 - ASN - 033 - D was actually possible...we didn't make it bros
BONG
>>16488462I don't remember
>>16488464I'd say about 1/2 of it happemnign
>>16488467what is that
>>16488463leaving it vertical would be bad for access and radiation protection
>>16488430I would have to see who controls the office. For all we know they might fold it into NASA or Space Force, or rebrand it as its own thing. The real problem is getting the FAA to not drag their heels on NOTAMS and shit. Since they explicitly control that, and even if they don't have the capability to outright deny a launch license anymore, they can slow roll launches by not doing their function that enables the launches.
>>16488455Faggot, she doesn't need a cock
>>16488472I don't know why, but this general hates the idea of wet workshops.
>>16488464Starbase is only there to create starship and perfect the process. When that is done it will all move to cape canaveral. Starbase will have it's role, but the USgov&nasa will demand that cape canaveral is the major US spaceport.
