>>16494773"Land Your Dream In Space"I'm always impressed by western cultural dominance.Like, could you imagine an american rocket, launching in america, for american customers, plastered with chinese characters?Insane.
>>16494777China's trying really hard but I can't escape the feeling they're spinning their wheels. 50% of their launches are still old style hypergolics, and the rest are split pretty evenly between new cryogenics and solid fuel designs. The LM-5/6/7 were supposed to replace the 2/3/4s but they've been flying for a decade and they can't seem to compete on cost or cadence. Now they've got dozen new rockets in development all competing for the same spot in the launch market.

>>16494788Their whole dress and fashion is European in origin, even their political leadership dress themselves in the way of white people. The cultural domination is so thorough most people never even stop to think about it.>The suit's origins trace the simplified, sartorial standard established by the English king Charles II in the 17th century, following the example of his one-time host King Louis XIV's court at Versailles, who decreed that in the English Court men would wear a long coat, a waistcoat (then called a "petticoat"), a cravat (a precursor of the necktie), a wig, knee breeches (trousers), and a hat. The paintings of Jan Steen, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and other painters of the Dutch Golden Era reveal that such an arrangement was already used in Holland, if not Western Europe as a whole.>The current styles, founded in the Great Male Renunciation of the late 18th century, sharply changed the elaborately embroidered and jewelled formal clothing into the simpler clothing of the British Regency period, which gradually evolved to the stark formality of the Victorian era. In the late 19th century, it was in the search for more comfort that the loosening of rules gave rise to the modern lounge suit.

explain what's different between rockets now and rockets in the 60s?the closest we ever got to an SSTO was the Atlas missile and the most efficient main engine ever built was the RS-25 shortly after the moon landings.
>>16494846RS-25 is a 1970s hangar queen exactly like the F-14 Tomcat's engines. Raptor is an insane upgrade in mdot and thrust/area for only about 15% less Isp which is why Starship doesn't need SRBs.
>>16494830Do astronomers and the media ever realize that getting rid of Starlink also means hindering Ukraine and their war efforts? Are they unironically in favor of that? Don't wanna get political, just pointing out that you can't nationalize Starlink to aid Ukraine, and at the same time have a night sky clear of any satellite so that astrooonomers can take pretty pictures, it's contradictory.

Remarkable how fast it started seeming ordinary and unexciting that it's coming down from space and doing a crazy flip. I suppose flight 8 will be the next special one with the potential tower catch
>>16494897Obviously it will be cast iron. It will further Musk's vision of minimizing production time by casting the entire fuel tanks and the plumping in them all in one go. Once they reach the larger diameter in future versions the added mass of the cast iron wouldn't matter.

> imagine the task of having to monitor liquid hydrogen as it flows through a few miles of pipeline—which is what NASA had to do in preparation for every Shuttle launch, when hundreds of thousands of gallons were transferred from a holding tank to the launch pad for fueling. In the Apollo days, detecting a flame from one of those leaks was accomplished by using the “broom” method, whereby workers would take a broom and walk around with the head stretched out in front of them. If the head began to burn, there was a leak.

real question what's the plan for base heating for a moon or mars base? Considering water would be a luxury so steam is kinda out.Ammonia heat pumps look like a good option considering the wide temperature swings on Mars and ammonia's good properties in a wide variety of extreme conditions.
>>16495004>if the broom began to burn>that means the H2 was already invisibly burninghydrologgs is just not worth the Isp
>>16495024>Considering water would be a luxury so steam is kinda outnigga what? no one is building a base where water is scarce

>>16494708>>16494709Fyi: good carbon layups have better specific strength than aluminum (and a hell of a lot better than steel), but as a practical matter, it is much harder to have very thin carbon parts. It means that for a lot of applications, if you go with carbon, you end up being way overbuilt while if you had gone with aluminum you are closer to your target strength. >t. compositesfag

A lot of applications and shite too, my D drive had 300gb of stuff on it despite uninstalling every game and deleting everything I could think of. C drive was about 300gb/500 but that was mostly system and OS bloat. It's a little smoother but 1070, I7700k, some MSI board and all I've replaced over the years was RAM, twice. AMD mongs seem to replace their PC's every two years, I love this PC. Spilt cola, cider and piss on it probably 10 times in total, still works a charm. Probably haven't dusted it often enough, maybe 3 or 4 times. It's pretty loud, I think it game me tinnitus but I'm used to it now.
>>16495135Midway through summer I got a 10tb drive and a new CPU cooler, so my friend and I took my PC apart to give it a cleaning during their installation. After five minutes of trying to dust it gently we gave up and just brought it outside, a few minutes with the leaf blower and it was clean as brand new.I don't know why I never did it before, it was so much easier and faster.

https://x.com/Arianespace/status/1861730974481977724>FLIGHT VV25: LAUNCH POSTPONEMENT>Due to the need to conduct further precautionary checks and activities on launcher preparation and finalization, the VV25 launch, originally scheduled for December 3, 2024, from Europe’s Spaceport, in Kourou, French Guiana, is postponed. The impact of these add checks is today estimated in the range of one day. The new launch date will be confirmed by Friday November 29. The launcher and its passenger, the Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite, are in stable and safe conditions.Oh no

>>16495450To keep it space related, he should either buy the Kerbal Space Program IP, or direct his new game company to make a similar game. Would be a good way to get younger people interested in Space Flight, and the iterative development process you do in those sorts of games would be great for getting budding engineers in the right mindset before joining SpaceX.
Kerbal troonflight program 2 is a cucked game play the original
There is an oddity that I have been wondering about for a while now.Pic is an example of intelsat, but it is something I have seen in several satellites now in LEO or GEO. Why does the eccentricity cycles? I would understand if orbits circularize due to drag, or orbital perturbations would make these graphs wonky, but no, they almost consistently show a cycle in which a satellite circularizes and then elliptices(would that be the correct word?) and I can't wrap my head around the how is that possible with such symmetry, and so constantly.

The moon is similar>are you forgetting the temps can swing from well below zero to almost 100 degrees?No, that's exactly why you can't use heat pumps (that and the vacuum). Heat strips have no restrictions you can just stack them if you need more heat. Electricity will be infinitely cheaper than gas since you don't have to import it. I don't really see another way

Heat it up during the day using surface heat exchangers and a simple coolant loop, warm yourself with it during the night. You don't even need much becauae you're in a vacuum and regolith is a great insulator too. There's basically no temperature swings below half a meter depth either.

>>16495766how heavy would starship legs would be anyways? as a comparison, falcon 9 legs supposedly weigh around 2 tons in total.
>>16495766>>16495769the 2 issues are design and rapid reusability if I'm not mistaken, it's just more convenient to catch with the tower.for now at least, since they'll need legs to land on Mars
>>16495769HLS legs will probably be so much heavier than F9 legs, by a long shot

>>16495787I've been enamoured by this design ever since I first saw it, I can almost see the legs unfolding mid fall like a switchblade
>>16495784I swear I've seen here some Starship render with insect-like legs, can't find it right now
>>16495789not really, the legs aren't protruding that much, and the forward legs would probably be thinner IRL
Your days are numbered, Old Space fags.
>>16495794Even if the starship doesn't need all the engines to lift from mars, the two large ones are pretty close to the three inner raptors. I wouldn't want to rely on them for repeated landings.
>>16495797just space them out a little more
>>16495795No anon, Elon won't bid to cancel SLS(but they could be forced to get new contractors)
>>16495781approximate mass of HLS at landing is 300 ton, which weighs only 50 ton on the moon, but still has momentum of 300 ton, therefore stronger legs will be needed for non-perfect final burns. Falcon 9 dry mass is around 22 ton.
>>16495790the 6 legs is good too for the redundancy. it would be very risky having a 4 leg design and expecting every leg to deploy perfectly after a 6 month coast
>>16495806>mass of HLS at landing is 300 ton, which weighs only 50 ton on the moon, but still has momentum of 300 tonam i the only one that has trouble really getting mass/gravity differences?it feels really weird to even think about

I was rereading the "surface to orbit" page of Atomic Rockets and noticed that the infrastructure, heat management, and power delivery/conversion costs of the non chemical launch options get completely retarded long before you get to 200 ton payload vehicles, let alone multiple of them a day, except for boomboom Orion, which has... other problems. Starship being so fucking big and able to use its own cryogenic propellant for cooling and chopsticks for RTLS/restack beats every proposed alternative that doesn't rely on fringe physics. Focusing on reducing expended dry mass instead of reducing wet mass was SpaceX's first great contribution that almost nobody else has internalized.
>>16495957probably just more practice on ship catch, maybe flying propellant transfer hardware in preparation for the demo in summer.

>>16496121How much compute Optimus needs? If you don't need a huge datacenter and can run them just from Mars they seems to be better than rovers for exploration, just send a bunch of them with human tools and instruments and a vehicle to drive around, seems to be less expensive and more flexible than trying to make sure a rover is 100% fail safe. One Optimus malfunction? let's just use another mass produced optimus to use the tools and instruments to complete the mission. Also you can gain some experience on what humans could do on mars before SpaceX sends real humans to the Mars and makes a more realistic mission design.
>>16494791>they can't seem to compete on cost or cadenceWhat's that supposed to mean? CASC is fully transitioning to cryogenic propellants because they're cheaper to handle than hypergolic propellants. The reason for the low cadence so far is because CASC fucked up the transition process for some reason we don't know, so it was a lot slower than it should've been. However, long delays are hardly unprecedented in aerospace. It might've been that CASC has been bleeding labor and expertise to all the new space start-ups over the last 5-10 years, causing turnover of certain key personnel and internal organizational disruptions>Now they've got dozen new rockets in development all competing for the same spot in the launch market.That's probably not much more than their market will be able to accommodate, because they have an immense demand for launches.> they're spinning their wheelsI don't get that impression at all when I see their rapidly changing market structure and the great range of products their companies have in the pipeline. Keep in mind that the lead time for a new large rocket with new engines developed from scratch is usually 7-10 years or more, and that CASC's kerolox rocket lineup would have been considered state of the art only 10 years ago
>>16496121>>16496137>>16496122each degree of freedom you add to a robot joint adds an exponent to the price. guaranteed this hand costs about 100k. there is a reason theystarted off simple. Complex is expensive as hell and drains the battery even quicker. Humanoid robots being useful for anything, let alone exploring worlds, is a pipe dream until battery tech gets at least 10x better and price of manufacture comes down at least 10x. not happening soon. AI also needs to 10x in competency but thatmay happen this decade so there is 1 point in favor of robots.

>>16495522The modules are of increasing technical dificulty. They would never start launching if they tried to make a long duration sapce station in one go, but making a pressure vessel with some consumable oxygen is doable in 4 years.>>16495516A big station is easier than a small station in terms of life support.
>>16494788They probably hope to receive orders from foreign customers as well, and so design their marketing slogans with that audience in mind
>>16494848Most people around the world don't care much about some slavic slog-out in some eastern European backwater
>>16494828So the USSF assessment that CZ-5 is highly economical was probably correct? It's apparently economical enough to perform the most mundane type of LEO trucking
>>16495516They are going from a small station to a large station, by gradually turning the small station into a large station.
>>16495522Someone needs to build those things, and those people are usually the same people. It's more economical to have a small production capacity that builds 1 item per year for 10 years, than it is to establish a massive production capacity that builds 10 items in 1 year and then shut it all down for 9 years until you need it again. It's not like they're in an extreme hurry anyway.

>>16496197They're still finalizing the design. It's interesting that they're still talking about using hydrogen. It's like the LM-9 designers are stuck in a halfway state between Starship and New Glenn

>>16496295they focused on the general concept of mining in space why cant i just throw out a significant concept as well? and btw intuitive machines payload fucking tipped, oneweb is an outdated meme constellation when starlink exists, and rocketlab shouldve been next to spacex instead of blorigin so youve got multiple category errors there for ‘up and coming hardware’

>>16496314He was unironically talking about journalists in that tweet.
>>16496291What about the design is new?They want three versions: a two stage version with a reusable first stage, a three stage version with a reusable first stage and a hydrolox upper stage, and a two stage fully reusable version. This has been the same since 2023, or...?It makes sense to have a conservative option, because the Starship concept is still unproven, especially the economics of it.
>>16496304>intuitive machines payload fucking tippedso what? starship blew up multiple times. and just like spacex, intuitive machines has more on the way. and yeah, oneweb is outdated, but it hasnt really been available as a service yet either, so its hard to say if its a flop for sure or not.

>>16496315Yes! That's the one, thanks anon. Quite a surreal design lol
>>16496317Its got a new name? I don't know if the last time we saw LM-9 slides it had a 10.6m or a 10m diameter. This could just be the same design we saw last time with some incremental finalizations and a new label. LM-10 did this exact same dance before it got official approval.They're probably just showing it off to try and get some more support for the project from the central government. It's not a bad time for it with Starship making a lot of headlines.

>>16496411That's probably how a lot Mars side price discovery will work. SpaceX would put out a general offer to buy anything locally for cheaper than shipping. This will likely be the foundation of the economy all the way up until self sufficiency

I think it looks cool as fuck tee bee aych, like a space-knight.It does have some things included that are dumb as fuck though. The big chest houses an airlock, so that an explorer can have a closer look at rock samples within his suit.

Thoughts? The telescopes look ridiculous, I think I'll change them out when I unlock next deep space telescope. I'll try to put it onto the end of a module or start a new tree. There's the docking port with a basic ship as reference. I don't plan on having propulsion though, but I've got a lot of reaction wheels. Building will be a bit tricky, I plan to use RCS then remove the tanks and thrusters once docked. I was thinking of adding a load of tanks for refueling but I don't really see a point. I'm not sure what else to add, I probably need more mods to add anything functional.Going to build a shuttle which I haven't before to help build it all but I'll stick most of it in fairings and reuse as much of the rockets as I can.

>>16496333>I'm still asshurt that F9 isn't fully reusable.Second stage reuse comes with a massive payload penalty.F9 is too small of a rocket to make the second stage reusable and still have a worthwhile payload to LEO.This is why Stokes rocket is a joke even if they are successful with their second stage design.
>>16496772Stoke's rocket is chubbier and uses higher Isp propellants (methalox 1st stage, hydrolox 2nd stage). They also admit it's basically a pathfinder for a larger system.

When?
you think you hate nasa enough...just wait till i finish making my next post
Spacegoy5 is back to arguing about Starship again. This time hes moved the goalposts from Starship will never be fully reusable to it has no market. What is wrong with these “people”?
>>16496787Free the nukes
>these drawings of Orion craft that are way too fucking small to make any sense
>>16496777>Stoke's rocket is chubbier and uses higher Isp propellantsIt is the same diameter and substantially shorter yet Stoke thinks they will manage 5 tons to LEO.
>>16496790his type can only cope
Given that rockets are basically just legos spacex should put a falcon second stage inside starships payload bay and also out the top a little bit as a high energy alternative to orbital refueling.
>>16496796LH 2 upper helps a low compared to a fat kerolox S2

>>16496801They also struggle with the idea that Starship launches will be cheaper for SpaceX to conduct than Falcon 9 launches (well that is the stated goal, and seems doable if they get 2nd stage reuses working fine, which also seems doable after the last few test flights). So SpaceX can use Starship to launch all the other satellites they currently get contracts for and make an even higher profit margin from it.
>>16496819half of this paper comes down to mass autism>all the additional processing to remove 10% more moisture to save 200 grams per crewmember per day (less than a ton saved for a 6 crew 2 year mars and back trip)>vitamin/nutrition losses over time are a problem because you have to strip as much moisture as possible out of your packaged foodstuffs (which also breaks down vitamin content)

>>16496922Are you going to pay for my ticket out of this planet?
>>16496926Just go into indentured servitude easy fix
>>16496927it's not as bad as it sounds
The easiest way to get a ticket to Mars is you sign a contract that you work for basically free other than having your living expenses paid for on the colony where needed (basically slave labor) until the wages that you wouldve made at minimum pay make up for your ticket costs. This is literally just indentured servitude except for more skilled work and likely better conditions than 1600s imports had.
>>16496790It'll just be eternal goalpost moving. Once they're actually regularly flying to Mars, these guys will just switch to okay they have a colony, but living on Mars sucks. I saw this video on Youtube one day, to be fair I don't know what this dude's stance on self driving cars was before, but he seems to have been proactive about complaining how self driving cars will ruin the ol' walkable cities. Most people still seem to be at the "those things will never work out" stage whenever someone mentions themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=040ejWnFkj0
>>16496934Quick math, say ticket is $100k to cover the propellant cost + your food cost on the 7 month journey, and minimum wage is $7.50/hr and you work 50 hour work weeks every week of the year, you pay off that ticket in about 5 years time. Not too shabby to move to another planet, though ticket prices will likely be higher and you could also literally just sell all your posessions on Earth, $20k is the equivalent of 1 year of work. If its $250k per ticket, then thats about 13 years of work under someone elses jurisdiction.
>>16496936Ok now do the math again, but this time, don't forget the taxes and interest.
>>16496938You do it. I said quick math, faglet. You can do that shit
