sponge poster, did you enjoy today's launch?
>>16545695Asshats did that on purpose. They weren't ready
Isn't this what waterfall development is supposed to avoid, why doesn't the rocket just work
previous >>16543091dumbass
elon sent his agents to screw it up
>>16545698she saw it was a BO rocket
The launch Jeff... where is it?
I'M SORRY CLEARI'LL NEVER WATCH A LAUNCH WITHOUT YOU EVER AGAINFUCK YOU BO FUCK YOU NEW GLENN
FUCK YOU JEFF
>>16545704All development is agile. Some people just lie about it.

New Glenn is the worst name for a rocket I've ever heard.
It's blover
Once again, the Chuds reign supreme. Tune in to https://x.com/SpaceX in a few days to see how it's done.

>>16545785Oh, autosolvers. Nevermind, I don't use those.
Good morning BOchads, can't wait to watch the launch on replay. No spoilers!
Lol. Lmao even. Sleepers made the right choice
https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/01/an-icy-vent-line-may-have-caused-blue-origin-to-scrub-debut-launch-of-new-glenn/>According to sources, the primary problem was likely ice clogging one of the vent lines that carry pressurized gas away from the vehicle. Several attempts were made to melt the ice, but these efforts were not successful, necessitating the scrub. Hopefully Blue Origin will provide more information about the cause of the scrub in the coming days.>Additionally there appears to have been a problem with at least one of the auxiliary power units that provide power to the rocket after the engines shut off. One of the primary purposes of these APUs is to power the deployment of landing legs needed to make a soft touchdown on the company's droneship, Jacklyn. It was not immediately clear early Monday whether Blue Origin would have pressed ahead with the launch, should they have had to land the first stage in the ocean, rather than attempting a barge landing.>Because the company got deep into the countdown on Monday morning, it is likely that there will be at least a 48-hour turnaround time.>Finally, the current launch period for New Glenn closes on January 16.
>>16545796it's not that easy in ventlinery
>>16545794But you missed the stream of Joe Barnard going crazy with each delay and then shitting on BO for not doing stuff like SpaceX during their Earth Ad.
who?
>>16545796Where exactly is he getting this? Could be fanfic for all I know
>>16545805Are you questioning Berger's sources?
So, Bezos is a subtard then. Fascinating.
>>16545807yes
sfg is dead...
>>16545815its 5am for burgers you twat.
Dont tell me GayseX is actually going to launch before Blue…
>didn't wake up so BO scrubbed the launchSorry, /sfg/
Space is hard
>>16545811A smile would be nice.
>>16545695>go to bed>wake up in the morning>it was another BONG scrub>and I got a full night's sleepHa ha, even Clear-chan didn't watch the scrub
/pol/ can be fun sometimes.
>>16545817HE'S LUMPHE'S LUMPHE'S LUMPHE MIGHT BE DEAD
>>16545866Why does supporting Blorigin make a guy put on makeup?
>>16545864This /pol/tard brings up an interesting point. How much will the extra power of Raptor 3 be offset by extra fuel requirements?
>>16545889thats fucking retarded and not how it works
>>16545889Don't make me tap the sign
>>16545890>>16545896Is Raptor 3's main benefit that it weights less? Or is it also more efficient?
>>16545903>weights*weighs
Why doesn't elon glide the booster back and save the fuel?
>>16545903there are three main traits: thrust (basically power), ISP (efficiency) and weightlower weight is good for reducing dry mass yes but high thrust also means you waste less propellant on fighting gravity and you can make the propellant tank bigger high efficiency matters more for second stagesnot sure what the main benefit is, but SpaceX seems to be driving for high thrust, I imagine booster reuse which causes the relatively early staging and thus the need for the second stage to be relatively big to get into orbit is the important point here
>>16545906but they do?
>>16545910Elon's booster primarily boosts itself back with its rocket engines and uses the same to do a powered landing, wasting fuel when you could use lift to direct the booster back and reduce vertical velocity
>>16545914it uses lift retard
>scrubSo glad I went to bed, bros.
>>16545864>>16545889Who cares what South Greenlanders think about rocket.Tell them to stick to cookies.
>>16545921So did the apollo capsule, but nobody calls that gliding because the L/D ratio is low and not enough to keep it from crashing into the ground like elon's booster would if it didn't do a powered landing
>>16545771FLIGHT, not flights. thankfully
>>16545923same. funny they made the official livestream private so i couldn't go direct to it. had to search for another one instead. id feel pretty shit and tired if id stayed up for it, thats for sure. nice how spacex seem to time their launches more considerately.
>>16545923>stay up>get cucked>shitty sleep>now I have a phone interview in 45 minutesFUCK YOU BEZOS
>/pol/ poster is back
>blue origin stream is now privatedo BOkeks really?
>>16545935yeah, thats what i mean. strange.
You should be glad that the B0 stream is private, it was shameless earther propaganda, there was so much bullshit about moving heavy industry off planet just to ship the products back to earth and how solar cannot keep up with growing energy demands yet ignores fission/fusion.Just put the payload into orbit lil' bro.Shit show of a stream and a shit show of a launch attempt, this should have been a WDR.
>>16545935is it still on X?I'll download it real quick if it is
>>16545938I still don't understand why they advocate for orbital industry. It just doesn't make sense at all
>>16545939i used this one. seems to have the whole thinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ial10zCijzo
>>16545942because the low-g environment lets you make things you can't as easily in normal-gnot only microchips and other machines, chemical products like drugs that undergo crystallization are affected positively too
>>16545945>>16545942Some sensitive things could easily benefit from 'zero-g' manufacturing but the idea of making metal or chemical products on the moon or in an orbital refinery only to ship it back to earth is braindead.95% of the output of any space economy will go back into space and will not have any positive impact on the health of the planet like BO were trying to sell. I honestly believe they blew through all of their little PR clips for the year in this one stream just to make up for dead air
>>16545945People say shit like this because other people say it, exclusively for that reason and that reason alone. Microchip production is resource intensive as is pretty much every other industrial activity worth doing.
>>16545946dead air is hard job. imagine seeing the countdown constantly at 36 minutes no matter how long you waffle on and on. terrifying
New Glenn isn't relevant until thunderf00t does a debunking of it. I mean surely he will do a video about how NG reusability isn't actually cheaper
Told you so.
>>16545964Why'd you screencap your post before people instantly told you that "/sfg/" does not think anything of the sort?
I can't believe BO thought they could launch a probe to mars for nasa last year when they're still struggling to do the 1st flight now.any chance that starship gets delayed again? Maybe Musk wants to show up Bezos with a much more interesting launch?
>>16545973of course its possible, the weather could turn shit at any moment
>>16545973new glenn was supposed to launch years ago
>>16545908higher thrust to weight/thrust to sq footage means they can stretch the rocket to add more payloadIt's also a better than 1 to 1 payload increase for the 2nd stage
How do you make a launch company that has gone 25 years without an orbital launch vehicle?
>>16545979virgin orbit has launched more stuff into space than BO
imagine spending this long and pretending it is an advantage to take your timeThen little shit force stand downs, just like every other vehicleThere will be multiple failures in the launch vehicle forcing a 6 month + stand down too
>>165459421. Pollution. Just dump that shit into space. 2. Energy. Solar panels are way more efficient in space. Nuclear power is viable again since you don't have to worry about a meltdown doing massive ecological damage. 3. Resources. Launching from earth sucks. You could have mining drones that launch from your space factories and ferry resources back and forth from asteroids. Since they never need to worry about atmospheric flight, they could use super efficient ion propulsion and just refuel at asteroids. 4. No gravity. That means that simply moving heavy things around could be more efficient. A crane no longer needs to lift heavy things against gravity.
>>16545984everything in LEO eventually falls to Earth, there is no "just dump it into space">You could have mining drones that launch from your space factories and ferry resources back and forth from asteroids.?? Do you have any idea how much delta-v that takes and how many fucking years some hall thrusters would take to move asteroids around?Theres a reason there has never been a sample return from an asteroid yet
>>16545946Once you have automated space factories making up the space economy, shipping stuff to earth is really cheap. It isn't like we are talking about using Starship as a cargo vessel to ferry things back from space. If you are at the point where you have robots mining out asteroids, putting manufacturing goods in a heat shield and using a railgun or ion thrusters to yeet them back to the planet is relatively simple and cheap.
>>16545986>Theres a reason there has never been a sample return from an asteroid yethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSIRIS-REx
>>16545986You don't move the asteroids around. You build at the asteroid. >We will never have an oil economy. All the oil is in Texas. Do you have any idea how impossible it would be to move all that oil to underneath New York
>>16545985Are you having an aneurysm?
>>16545986>Theres a reason there has never been a sample return from an asteroid yetmight want to check up on that
>>16545990>>16545995faked
>>16545986>Do you have any idea how much delta-v that takesDV to the asteroid belt is only a few hundred dv difference from Mars. The ion probes we send out there are have so much delta-v to spare that NASA takes retardedly inefficient routes to them just to get there faster because delta-v is a non-issue.
>>16545986gases dumped into earth orbit won't make it back to earth. They get ionized by the sun and then yeeted out of the solar system by our magnetic field.
>>16545996ahhh ok, say no more, say no more, nudge nudge nudge wink wink
>>16545983yeah probably, overall just being much slower and costlier than the rapid iterative method
>>16545986there have been 3 asteroid sample return missions silly billy

>>16546015thank you for the concern Mr Rubenstein, very cool!
>>16546044*yawn*sorry, I wasn't yawning because starlink is boring, but because I stayed up too late waiting for new glenn to launch
>>16546047wonder if mr ruberstein lives in a forest
Now that the BO needful was scrubed and delayed and IFT7 is doubt to be delayed as well, the mighty Ariane 6 might actually be the first big launch of 2025
>>16546029Low. ACES was cool technology two decades ago, but there's very little there that Blue would have trouble developing in-house for less. ULA just isn't worth what Boeing and Lockheed want for it.
>>16545981just imagine being mogged by fucking richard branson.
>>16546053>spend 15-20 million just on the engineshow can that be economical
>>16545984>4. No gravity. That means that simply moving heavy things around could be more efficient. A crane no longer needs to lift heavy things against gravitydid you forget about inertia?
>>16546055The only market you're interested in is price-is-no-object DoD missions and you happen to have a monopoly on government launches anyway
>>16546055>how can that be economicalIt isn't. As this Anon said, >>16546057as long as there is a market for it, they can keep charging whatever they want. This is what created the avenue for SpaceX to disrupt the industry, and the fact they pulled it off is why Oldspace hates Elon Musk.
>>16546055SLS engines are like 150mil a pop lmao
>>16546056What does that have to do with what I said? It simply requires a lot less energy per kg to displace something in zero g than it does in a strong gravitational well. Obviously dropping things is cheaper in a graviational well, but you don't get back the energy you used to lift it. Its also just generally easier to move things in other directions as well, since you don't need to overcome friction with the floor.
>>16545796How hard is it to:1) Put an overwhelmingly powerful de-icing heater on every valve2) Invent a reliable "APU" (ie, a battery)?>>16545908Raptor 3 is meant to be an all around improvement, getting higher Isp and thrust in a more reliable engine with lower manufacturing costs. Even if Starship's tanks were not stretched to optimize for the better engines, Raptor 3 would still improve the performance of the vehicle. Obviously, optimizing for a better engine results in even greater improvement. >>165459841. If you are talking about "dumping pollution into space" you are implying perfect pollution capturing technology, in which case just leave the pollution in the box you caught it in. "Pollution" is just atoms going where we'd prefer them not to, pollution isn't some inherently evil and useless substance. 2. We already don't need to worry about meltdowns, TRISO fuel reactors literally cannot melt down no matter what you do to the fuel. That said, space based solar power is probably going to work fine.3. The Moon is a better source of resources than asteroids. >but muh gravity wellLaunching from the Moon is extremely easy, and the Moon is a 3 day one way trip from Earth, where asteroids take years to get to and return from. The only rare important resource on the Moon is carbon. Industrializing the Moon makes asteroid mining trivial to start up, whereas going for asteroid mining from the start has an extremely steep investment curve prior to being self sustaining.4. Energy costs of moving stuff around in space is pretty high given delta V requirements. Sure when you're doing industry somewhere with low G it's easier to pick and place, but delivering to Earth will be the expensive bit. Of course, energy is almost free in space, and transportation costs can be very small if you're just firing products at Earth using a non-rocket-based launch system.Apologies for multi-replying, 900 second post timer gave me no choice

>>16546055>how can that be economicalWhen your benefactor is the US Government, you want the opposite of economical. The Government has unlimited money, and they spend it via a collective vote, so you want to squeeze as much out of them as you can.

"Pollution" is just atoms going where we'd prefer them not to, pollution isn't some inherently evil and useless substance.Are you an actual retard or something? Saying to dump pollution in space is the opposite of a perfect pollution capturing technology. Its making no attempt to capture it at all. >"Pollution" is just atoms going where we'd prefer them not to, pollution isn't some inherently evil and useless substance.Yes, by definition it is. Pollution, by definition, causes "adverse change". If it is beneficial, then it isn't pollution. >3. The Moon is a better source of resources than asteroids.Different bodies have different resources. Bezos wants lunar mining as well. But for metals... Only 10,000 metric tons of platinum has been mined in earths history. Those are baby numbers for some of the asteroids out there.

>>16546081That isn't true. Rocketlab has successfully recovered electron like a dozen times.
>>16546086>can't just dig down below ur feet>have to travel a light year to find "resources"
>>16546085Are you not following the conversation? The conversation is about why Bezos believes it is beneficial to move industry into space. The pollution will be produced in space, not on earth.
>>16546088that's fishing it out of the oceandon't think they've ever caught it with the heli

I like how people think asteroid mining is even plausible in our lifetimesmoonbases yes, moon mining yesunless space gets taken seriously and R&D budgets go up massively asteroid mining isn't happening anytime soon
>>16546091Why would I follow the conversation when this is more fun? You assume much
>>16546107Speaking of booster reuse, has RocketLab done so already? Can't find anything related to it on the news. I know they reused one single engine, and they were planning to reuse a whole batch of 9 Rutherford engines.
>>16546095>Digging is extremely difficultlmao
>>16546108If you can mine the moon, you can mine an asteroid. Its the same level of complexity. The delta-v differences are small and barely add any challenge.
>>16546109average /sfg/ poster
>>16546108?Why would budgets need to go upIf it isn't profitable in and of itself, why would you do it
>>16546112it's not a delta v problemit's a heavy machinery in space problemon the moon it's serviceable at an asteroid it's notmachines require maintenance nobody has even built an autonomous mining setup on earth yet, let alone one to mine asteriods

>>16546108>I like how people think asteroid mining is even plausibleYou lack vision, will, and testes
>>16546110just the one rutherford. after that they gave up on electron reuse to focus more on neutron.
>>16546112It's not the same level of complexity to run a mine on the other side of a three years transportation loop, compared to running a mine on a six day transportation loop. Some gravity is also easer than no/ultralow gravity.
>>16546086The entire asteroid belt is 4% the mass of Earth. It's harder to get to and harder to operate in than on the ground. Please reconsider that your opinions are fed by popsci nonsense. It's ok too, we all start there.
Venus tethered flying wing colonies when
we'll colonize mars and mine minerals there before we ever mine an asteroid simple as
>>16546108>moon mining yesMoon mining no. Not for Earth use for sure, and depending on starship cost and lunar operation cost, not even for lunar use. It will probably be cheaper to launch 100 tons of water than to ISRU the ice caps we're fighting over.
>>16546128the mass of earth is irrelevant. mining the asteroid belt is thousands of times easier than mining the mantle, let alone the core.

Might as well build space elevator then
why dont we just use nanomachines?
>>16546150Your choices are autonomous rig or manned rig, and since it's in the asteroid belt, you can't do a manned rig yet, and won't be able to for decades at minimum. A Moon mining rig can be "manned" remotely from Earth (available right now) or directly inhabited (which we will be able to do by 2028).
>>16546155>since it's in the asteroid beltThere are lots of asteroids outside the asteroid belt. Go to the nearest ones first.

I just love the fact that SpaceX has such massive manifests we can't even properly list them all, this probably makes some autists very upset though
>>16545695When will be the New Glenn launch? According rocketlaunch.live it will be tomorrow, but I have doubts.
>>16546298doubts are at least partially justified at this point
whats going to happen to ULA once BO starts launching regularly
ITS whenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qo78R_yYFA
Lol, blue origin fags get wrecked. I knew it was a safe bet to not stay up for this one because it was going to scrub anyway.
>>16546339still going to reach orbit faster than starshit
>>16546321New Glenn will compete with Falcon 9 and Heavy to drive down the cost of launches to high-energy trajectories. This won't be good for Vulcan as its already launching with very slim profit margins. They have no room to price themselves any lower. https://x.com/torybruno/status/1809959988053352618>Depends. ULA sells trips to space for a little more than the cost. Some of the profit to our shareholders and the rest for technology development. Others get large outside investment yearly in exchange for promises of future profit. (And are free to charge independent of cost, for now…)This won't kill them immediately, since they still have a lot of NatSec missions on contract for NSSL-2 as well as 38 Kuiper launches, but past 2026 or 2027 things look unsurvivably grim. Vulcan won't be able to compete for big Lane 1 NSSL missions while Neutron and Nova will price them out of low-energy launches. Launching Kuiper won't help very much since New Glenn is launching those too.
>>16546086Look at it this way: Von Neumann suggested self-replicating machines in 1949 and Dyson fleshed out the idea in 1979. If your ideas aren't a meaningful advancement over ideas that are older than you are, don't expect to be congratulated on your originality.The only interesting thing to say about these ideas would be details about how to actually do it or news that someone actually did, not "Um, guys, why don't we...?"
>>16546349maybe ULA will change their mind and eventually sell themselves to someone
>>16546361nobody wants to buy them for more than the value of their facilities and bolockmart don't want to sell them for that little.

whats going on with the repeated delays?
>>16546370trying to build some monopoly in this 4 years would be very shortsighted of Muskinstead putting in the pieces for a robust space economy where SpaceX can compete (and dominate) without government forced monopoly will be much better for SpaceX and industry in space in generalright now its basically just SpaceX doing stuff, but if other companies can come in and start doing stuff, investing etc SpaceX can also sell services to themin absolute terms their business will probably grow more in a robust space economy even if their market share wasn't as all encompassing
>>16546361Even with their contracts ULA isn't worth more than a billion and change, and Boeing is firm on wanting more than thathttps://x.com/SciGuySpace/status/1836208907582071166>No one is willing to meet the parents' price. Both Jeff Bezos and Fatih Ozmen, among others, have kicked the tires and apparently not found the value they wanted.>What’s their approx asking price?>More than $2 billion, apparently.
>>16546376oh and of course you also have anti-trust issues that would probably come up in some later administration perhaps (though that doesn't seem to be the case for Boeing so maybe not)
>>16546372I mean I would say chamber pressure is an internal thing that doesn't really matter to the outsideits how they get good thrust and ISP, but if they got those through some other method then it would be all the same

>>16546551sub sahara africa has much higher population density than north america. why dont they make it cheaper in north america then?
>>16546477So when is the next launch attempt I guess they would tell us if it's 0600 UTC again.
>>16546556it has a much lower density of starlink users, which is what matters in this calculation. but above all else they don't make it cheaper in north america because it's price discrimination and north americans will pay more for it. SOMEBODY has to pay more for it too, or else you're not gonna be able to afford 100 f9 launches a year.
>>16546556population density != user density
>>16546547They've got the usual rural problem of being a low population density market combined with bad to non-existent infrastructure. Then you start dealing with the effects of inflation (currently about 60% YoY, which is admittedly not as bad as it used to be) and the fact that the country is trying to recover from being yet another experiment in post-colonial communism.
>>16545938it must be because of their tech tree
>>16545981But BO did make a couple of engines that throosted a Vulcan to orbit... and then they fell into the sea, not having reached orbit themselves.
>>16545942Unsaid but implied is that he wants most *people* living in orbit as well, with Earth left mostly as a nature preserve. This is one of his dumbest takes because humans had been part of Earth's ecosystems for over 10,000 years before the liberation of steam and coal, and we killed off most of the large animals, so now active management is required.

>>16546885>>16546892you are gay
If Starship has a payload that's less than its maximum, could it carry extra fuel and transfer it to a depot afterwards?
>>16546894where would it store the extra fuel? we dont even know how the payload is suppost to get out
>>16546893huh??
>>16546544>more third worlders on the internetWhy? What's the actual point in this? Indians getting internet access was already bad enough. Half of Africa getting internet access would make it totally unusable.
>>16546720I wonder what Jeff thinks of rocket girls.
>>16546885Jacklyn is a girl's name, foreigner.
>>16546108Just park it in an orbit and capture it around Mars orbit with assisted capture.
>>16546602>Live in 42 hours
>>16546899I would swap all of Africa for whatever jeets have internet access in a heartbeat. Adding nigs onto jeets? Goodbye internet, my sweetest friend.
>>16546548Sell somethign expensive but only 100 people buy itSell it cheaper but 10000 people buy it. Profit is better at cheaper price. Although ideally you'd want to maximize most profit with 10,000 people, if they cant afford it anyway, then its not worth to keep it expensive. As long there's more profit at bottom end, they're doing greatly.
>>16546892I'm sorry anon but all ships are femalethat's a goil
>>16546894only if the depot is in the same orbit as the payload destination (it will never be in the same orbit as the payload destination)>>16546895in the fuel tanks, retard
>>16546942all the fuel tank is used for getting to orbit. only the header tank remains for landing. fag
>>16546975>all of the main tank is used for getting to orbitwrong, there is always residuals and if you're not using the maximum performance of your rocket these can be very significant
>>16546976itll be like 10% of a full tank max
>>16546980here's a handy guide for you:subtract the payload mass from the theoretical maximum payload to whatever orbit you're targettingthe amount of fuel left that you can siphon out of the tanks and use on orbit will be slightly less than thatthis is basically only useful when delivering to very busy orbits like SSO and GEO or the lagrange points
>>16546874seriously though, whens Jeff's rocket going to go up? I got salted popcorn and papa johns pizza for my whole extended family and they are getting impatient.
>>16546874I just woke up so excited to read about the new gleen launch that I didn't stay up to watch! Only 70 new messages on /sfg/? What's with that?

>>16546381No it wouldn't.
>>16547342The reason small lift is a dead market is because each of those slots cost about 4% of a dedicated Electron launch
>>16547381reeeeeespacex is not being fair and undercutting rocketlab

a thing of true beautycrushing small lift one launch at a time

I'm tired of waiting around. I was promised Mars by 2020 as a kid. How can I contribute towards this mission?
>>16547390You can do nothing and we'll be to Mars by 2035 anyways.
This is the first day time launch of F9 I have watched.
gotta love those dirty boosters
lots of vapor on that descent
That was a great shot they had to show how much the booster glides to the LS.
camera slow on the down panwtfgreat shots otherwise though
Wow!
>>16547380if you have two systems with the same weight, thrust and ISP, then what does the chamber pressure matter? or any other aspect of the internal system?
>>16547383SpaceX is being completely fair, AND they're undercutting the competition :)
very nice, very nice indeed. they make it look easy
>>16545695The booster just landed! [math]\unicode{x1F970}[/math] [math]\unicode{x1F970}[/math] [math]\unicode{x1F970}[/math] It makes me so happy [math]\unicode{x1F604}[/math]
>>16547409Yes, they do.
>>16547409chamber pressure increases thrust and isp.
>>16547412I’m happy you’re happy.
>>16547409You cannot achieve the same thrust, Isp, AND weight, without also matching chamber pressure.Chamber pressure is directly correlated to TWR and Isp. Your hypothetical "weighs the same, Isp is the same, equal thrust, and yet lower chamber pressure" engine, simply cannot exist.
>>16547412its looks happy too
>>16547413>>16547414>>16547420what if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
>>16547432If you increase the amount of breakfast consumed you nessecarily increase how full you feel. You can’t just have two different mornings with different breakfasts but the same fullness.
>>16547432I didn't have breakfast this morning, and I can report that I'm NOT hungry.
>>16547432Thrust, Isp, and weight held as fixed variables, you STILL want high chamber pressure because it's going to mean you have a physically smaller engine, which is desireable, even if the engine weighs the same.
>>16547440Fuck you, it's already in the thread.
>>16547448Sorry. But please try to be less hostile.
>>16545695Why aren't we shooting neutrons at spaceships to accelerate them?
>>16547409>if you have two systems with the same weight, thrust and ISP, then what does the chamber pressure matter?Where are you measuring the Isp?If you're talking about vacuum Isp, the higher chamber pressure engine will retain more of its vacuum Isp at sea level vs a lower chamber pressure engine. If you're talking about sea level Isp, then your lower chamber pressure engine of equal mass and thrust can only exist if it's using a dissimilar propellant combination, which means it's not a fair comparison. In the second case, switch the higher chamber pressure engine to that propellant and it'll perform better than the lower chamber pressure engine.
>>16547450neutrons is hard job
>>16547449No.
20 years ago, Huygens touched down on Titan and sent back photos from the surface of the mysterious shrouded moon of Saturn.

>>16547468>every comment is a novelI will now watch your video.
>>16547461hazy
>>16547409The engine that operates at a higher chamber pressure will have better thrust and ISP for a given size/weight.
>>16547201lol another nerd crying, love to see it
>>16547432>can't comprehend the subject matter>tries the breakfast question as a deflectionsimply amazing

that's a lot of sats

THERE HE GOES
>>16547342>how's my orbital maneuvering?kek
smol rockets just cant compete with transporter launces
she's going to have to tag out. saying separation conformed 101 times is insane.
Beck wouldn’t be getting his lunch eaten if he simple charged 400k an electron and launched them 300 times a year.
idk why small launch always thinks they can succeed when SpaceX figured out it was a non starter 20 years agoThere's a reason Falcon 1 only ever flew two missions, a bigger rocket always made more sense.
fuck you
>>16547515it's probably impossible to find the necessary venture capital to start from a big rocket when you're a startup that hasn't accomplished anything
Look at her bros. Another version of her is going up THIS YEAR!
>>16547515With what money they would develop bigger rocket, spacex had nasa money and BO has bezos money
>>16547522>test articlewhen are they actually building the real station?
>>16547526They probably already have been but since the test article is the most developed part its what theyre posting online. They hired ALLOT of people yknow
>>16547515SpaceX came into being at the perfect opportunity to upseat the lazy and greedy oldspace companies with the EELV and ISS resupply/crew contracts.
>>16547523Why did Bezos get interested in space anyways?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSRhdB3HJAI
>>16547534Although the source for that first paragraph is an Economist article, which is locked to free users. Wikipedia is amazing
>>16547522how far away are inflatable habitats anyway? two weeks?
>>16547479the entire point was that chamber pressure is irrelevant to the operation of the rocket, as would the material the rocket is using if you assume the same weight, ISP and thrust are achievedin this case it happens to be that chamber pressure does increase thrust and ISP, but that is irrelevantchamber pressure is not the relevant metric, ISP, thrust and weight areif there was some way to get better ISP,thrust and weight with lower chamber pressure (maybe something entirely different paradigm or whatever), then you would not give a single shit if the chamber pressure happened to be smaller in that case
>>16547476yes of course, did you miss the if? a hypothetical situation where you get the same output with a different chamber pressure (lets say detonation engine or something not yet invented)would you prefer the engine with higher chamber pressure but the other 3, actually relevant traits, being worse? of course not
>>16547437>If you increase the amount of breakfast consumed you nessecarily increase how full you feel.not necessarily, the type of food affects satiety, your brain chemistry affects satiety regardless of the amount of food and so onif you neuralink you to have the same satiety regardless of the amount of food in your stomach then it doesn't matter how much or little you eat
>>16547545>chamber pressure is irrelevant to the operation of the rocketHe can't stop digging his hole.
So how was the new glenn launch?
>>16547556
>>16547556unbelievable
>>16547342How do they disconnect these wires?
>>16547537And apparently he decided to start BO when saw October Sky in '99 with Neal Stephenson. After talking together afterwards about wanting to start a space company Stephenson told him he should do it, and he was one of the first employees there.
>>16547557>>16547558>delayed againthis is getting ridiculous
25 hours to Starship suborbital hop
>>16547560I didn't know Bezos and Neal Stephenson were that close. I guess it makes sense now why the kindle project got a codename from Diamond Age.
>>16547559It's attached to the deployment mechanism which will pop open. The actual satellite is inside the case. They look like the actual satellite because they are using blue panels which do look like solar panels.
>>16547551if I had some other propulsion method like nuclear bombs, chamber pressure would be irrelevantwhat matters are the weight of the thruster, ISP and thrust, not internals specific to the thruster like chamber pressure (which do matter to this specific thruster, but not in general)
>>16547568>chamber pressure isn't relevant to roggets because... um... orionwhat's the pressure inside a detonating nuclear bomb?
>>16547568Anon, your overgeneralizing.Your point makes sense when talking about entirely different engines, but when talking about generations of the same engine or similar engines, just talking about weight, ISP and thrust doesn't paint a whole picture of changes.Raptor 3 increased thrust, but it did it primarily by increasing chamber pressure.It also reduced weight, but that metric doesn't speak of the reduction of non-engine hardware like shielding that's necessary on Raptor 2 but less necessary on 3.

STARBASE IS NOW UNDER THREAT FROM FPV DRONES>Talked to this guy who was just launching, he said he had no idea…>With DJI disabling geofencing, the security threat to SpaceX and all other restricted airspace just became very real, at a very dangerous time. >Also, visitors need to respect the no trespassing signs around the launch pad. The past few days I’ve never seen so many people just walk right past the signs and very near the pad with a noticeable and concerning absence of security by SpaceX. >Those of you that visit regularly and document Starship please be vigilant and help keep our public access.https://x.com/SpacePadreIsle/status/1879233118286037289

>>16547545>if you assume the same weight, ISP and thrust are achievedThis is like assuming a 155cm tall asian woman can get the same 500m track time as a 205cm tall Kenyan man, then asking what race has to do with winning the 500m race.
so fucing kino
>>16547548Your hypothetical assumes something that is contrary to reality, because higher chamber pressure DOES correlate to higher thrust and higher Isp for a given engine. Asking "but what if it wasn't" is a STUPID question. Everyone says "we want higher chamber pressure" because it means "we want higher thrust and Isp for a given engine mass", and higher chamber pressure is how you achieve that, you dumb motherfucker.

>>16547201>The other thing that I wanted to mention is that there was an evening session with an open mic for anyone there to voice their opinions. I had gotten a basic feel for the crowd at that point, and realised that the vast majority of attendees (maybe like 95%) were men, and the majority of those were middle-aged. These were the pre-woke days, but the similar term PC was used (politically correct). I, being a feminist, and concerned with the possibility of a whole new planet being colonised by men, for men, stood up and said that we should do outreach to be more inclusive. Of gender, of disciplines/skills, of age, of nationality, etc. I got booed by about a thousand people. I was honestly shocked. However Zubrin, god love him, bounded up on stage and expressed his support for what I was saying. The crowd shut up pretty quick because they were all in awe of him.Zubrin does it again.

why starship doesnt reflect the launch force back and it during the launch? it would possibly have twice the thrust during lift off

>>16547724sn9
>>16547720they effectively did do that at launch 1. it wasn't great. besides, the engines have to push the limits of their own material strength so you don't want even higher stress just to save a couple seconds getting into space

>>16546548it's because the demand is different in different markets with different per capita income and different need for internetif you sold Starlink for the US price in Africa no one would buy it, so you reduce the price in Africa to get additional revenue (and profit because it probably costs very little to provide service in areas that are undersubcribed)on the other hand if you sold Starlink for the African price in the US, you'd be throwing away money because consumers are willing to pay more and you'd be oversubscribed

>>16548374Physical dimensions could be one problem. Fitting two landers and a payload adapter (and custom building the adapter) is a lot more difficult than booking a solo flight. Dual manifest missions only worked out so cleanly for Ariane 4 and 5 because Arianespace specifically designed it as a standardized option. There's also a lot of variability in TLI trajectories. Nova C's preferred flight path might not match with Griffin's, and Falcon 9 might not be able to hit either if it has to carry both payloads. Falcon 9 is a "low-energy rocket" after all. If that's the case they'd have to launch on a Falcon Heavy and that could wipe out the cost savings of flying tandem.
I'M GONNA BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT
>>16548387The working theory is that they're practicing for TLI launches. Last night's Falcon 9 lunar mission launched around the same time that New Glenn's launch window has been scheduled to open.
>>16548374I wish I could readhttps://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/6828
>>16547918If it only costs themincrementally5 dollars a customerhow can they sell it for 100 dollars in the USA and 10 in africa
Didnt know Falcon 9 had different second stage configurations.https://www.elonx.net/falcon-rockets-use-three-configurations-of-their-upper-stage-how-are-they-different/
>>16548387Fewer eyeballs to criticize the failure (it WILL crash land into the ship).Fewer eyeballs to highlight how incredibly late and extremely expensive all of it was (ironic because this equally priced and only marginally better turd-girl is set to help replace orange rocket with exactly the same characteristics).Also, nobody cares. Everything they do is painfully cringe, its best to keep that on TV after midnight, remember how bad the infomercials used to be when its very late at night, its like that slot of content
How much payload can Falcon 9 get to TLI?Web seach isnt helpful.
>>16548393i can accept that but still, Apollo managed nice morning launches apart from that one time. that was very considerate
>>16548381Why has elon become so unambitious about starship? >yeah idk if we'll be able to deploy fake starlinks>idk if heat shield will work>we're also doing a manned flyby in 2 years
>>16548404Here, I Grok'd it for ya:The Falcon 9 rocket has a theoretical payload capacity to Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI) of around 3.5 to 4 metric tons (3,500 to 4,000 kg). This capability depends on several factors, such as:>Payload mass and design: The payload's configuration and its need for additional propulsion or systems can affect the performance.>Mission profile: The exact trajectory, desired lunar orbit, or landing requirements can modify the injection energy and reduce payload capacity.>Reuse strategy: Falcon 9 missions using a reusable first stage may have a reduced payload capacity compared to an expendable configuration.For missions where the first stage is expended (not recovered), the payload capacity to TLI increases, though specific figures are not readily available.For heavier payloads to TLI, SpaceX offers the Falcon Heavy rocket, which can deliver up to 16,000 kg (35,000 lb) to a translunar trajectory.
>>16548400it definitely doesnt look confident
https://www.stokespace.com/stoke-space-announces-260-million-in-new-investment/>January 15, 2025 — Stoke Space, the rocket company building the world’s first 100% reusable medium-lift rocket, announced today that it has raised $260 million in new Series C investment to drive continued growth and innovation. This investment more than doubles the company’s total funding, bringing it to $480 million.

>>16548409ketamine withdrawal I told you all that his recent spergouts were because he increased the dosage. Probably realized that it's no good and is cutting now
>>16548409Elon has made these kind of comments on every Starship launch my tourist friend.
>>16548412>fully reusable medium lift with a memespikeSounds like dry mass hell
>>16548409?its a test launch
>>16548428with LH2 and reusemight still be a good idea if it were bigger
>>16548428Hydrolox upper. The memespike is just a ciruclar array of nozzles powered by two turbopumps, which are submerged inside the heat shield area to lower the center of mass during reentry. The first stage needs to do a high loft throw to get any measurable payload to orbit, so it'll have an interesting time.
chances that BONG gets delayed again so they don't have to launch first?
>>1654843750% I reckon
>>16548434Lets them do ass first reentryProbably a decent ideaBut SpaceX is clearly optimizing for payload with their design, this is more investor bait

>>16548456Wow, elon is pretty good at this game
I'm excited for the Blue Origin New Glenn Orbital (BONGO) launch
>>16548473he bought his account
>>16548397Because the infrastructure costs justify the higher price and the fact that they can increase their profits by selling in countries that can't afford the US price justifies the lower price.
>>16548477um....Bongo?
>>16548471your rock seems furry
>>16548485preposterous, it's a trick of the light
>>16548478I don't understand why someone would do that, a game is for having fun with, if you don't want to take the time to play it then you don't have to.What's the point if you're not having fun? Then it's just work.
>>16548478Smart of him. Let's him focus more on SpaceX/Tesla than no-life running PoE
>>16548488I don't think people play PoE HC for "fun" And Elon doesn't have the time to dump hundreds of hours grindingIts fun to play for a bit though, dnno why he pretends to have levelled/geared the chars to get there though
>>16548478He relies on Yilongma for that
>>16548471I think that might be a muffin. You should take a bite of it to find out.

>>16548429Mk3 was supposed to go to orbit in 2020
>>16548477MARACAS or bust
>>16548497it turns into a space simulator if you do enough
>>16548492I'm confused at this, where does elon actually "pretend" this? did he say explicitly that he grinded to that level all by himself? or is it just people getting mad that he skipped the grind with money
>>16548492He got shit on for his elden ring build. So his autism tells him he must be the very best to look cool to the kids.His election campaigning might have done this to him also.
>>16548503the FAA is holding him back
>>16548510only for 5 more days, then the reckoning begins
>>16548508it's technically against the games TOSalthough elon owns an ISP so idk how they would bust him for itcould have his booster level on starlink then use that IP himself on starlink and no one can tell
you could make a game as successful as poe2 and still not be able to afford a single dragon 2 launch
>>16548513If I was the company who owned PoE2, I would personally boost Elon's character as high as he wants, tos be damned. Free advertisement
how are these commercial lunar landers supposed to be profitable if a single starship can bring more cargo than 10 of them combined, but for a fraction of the cost of 1 of them?
>>16548517Maybe somebody only wants to land 15 grams on the moon and Starship is too big for that?
>>16548508RMT and boosting is against the TOS. Also he went on Toe Rogaine and claimed to be a god gamer because he had a bugged build in D4 which also may or may not have been boosted because you don't have time for that level of shit if you run multiple companies.The only thing people wonder is why the fuck he felt the need to pretend to be a god gamer when the average 10 hour player could see straight through his bullshit.
>>16548505AAAAA
>>16548517Starship can't carry shit
>>16548520Diablo is so easy his booster account looked plausiblePOE2 it was blatant
>>16548524As opposed to?
>>16548529needs 100 launches to make it to the moon
>>165485301000 launches to TLI. its official
>>16548525Diablo might be easy but it's still a fucking slog to play. Also that super duper build used a buffer over/underflow to do retarded damage.
>>16548530>launch one starship into leo>a dozen large commercial landers are carried inside>they fly to the moon for 1/10th of the cost, delivering 12 times the payloadhmmmmmmmmmmm
>>16547994Starship might genuinely be able to survive that, judging by how the FTS went on the first flight
>>16548530The much less capable Falcon 9 has had multiple lunar missions. How many levels of tourism are you on to think you can't put something on the moon without dragging the entire Starship upper stage there?
>>16548539the falcon 9 doesn't land its stage 2 on the moon then fly it back sir
>>16548542Just one realization away, and yet so far
>>16548516Depends on whether the Ceo has EDS or not. It would be pretty funny to come out and ban Elon for cheating on stream. What he's doing is rather petty.

>>16548812It still has to go up on F9 so it's mass constrained. Their future Starship-aligned modules might be made of steel since the constraints become cost and volume.
>>16548984>50% chads keep on winningglad I picked the right team
>>16548997which flight
>>16549002Itasha rockets when?

https://x.com/TLPN_Official/status/1879736422011228493>NG-1 UPDATE: Hearing Blue Origin is working through cryo checkouts and are currently on track for 1:00am ET (6:00 UTC) New Glenn launch! Adjustments to the countdown timeline have been made to try to resolve ice forming on the purge line of a auxiliary power unit that powers some hydraulic systems; which was the cause of first launch attempt scrub. Blue is still concerned about the weather but if need to, will hold the count and wait for a weather gap!
>>16548997that'll buff out>>16549008nobody who knows will say, but probably 4 or 5
https://x.com/ISROSpaceflight/status/1879736371889283363> SPADEX DOCKING IS ACHIEVED >ISRO has successfully docked 2 spacecrafts in Earth orbit for the first time. This makes India the 4th nation to indigenously develop docking technology & it's also a crucial milestone for ISRO's future missions
>>16548997is it supposed to do that?
>>16548997how tf did it still manage to do a landing burn?
>>16549013not test 3?
>>16548997w-what am I looking at?
>>16548997pretty impressive it still managed to land. They really just need to figure out the shielding, but Starship is looking like a solid design
>>16549020starship's fairing during reentry i would assume
Starship could potentially transport up to 1000 Indians, directly from India to the USA, in less than 45 minutes per ship
>>16549019flight 3 broke apart and lost communications because of it rolling uncontrollably, this picture shows the most heat concentrated around the flap hinge area which wouldn't be possible with the roll
97 MINUTES TO GO
The first recorded meteorite impact with sound happened a few days agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJJtLtV0Gx4
blorgin where the fuck is the stream?
>>165490087
>>16548874Mommy..
>>16549030Transformers vibes
>>16549030weird how rocks just kinda do that sometimes.
>>16549030idk why this is funny to me
>>16549034how? it looks like a piece of ash hit the ground.
Can't stay up for another scrub tonight.See you all at the Starship flight friends.>>>/wsg/5787009
>>16548931not like this...
is there an official BO stream yet?
>>16549046no
>>16549038Well, I can't find them right now, but I swear there is a myriad of scenes in the whole saga with the same exact sound and visual effect. Michael Bay was ahead of his time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHyaVvekWek , here's something, although it's not the best example.
>nsf commenter has a full time job and still works round the clock for nsfwhat's /sfg/ doing with their lives?
>>16549058stuck in a small town washing fucking cars
>>16549058stuck at a nasa contract doing nothing all day
>>16549021This survived because the prototypes are massively overbuilt with large structural margin. Look at the massive trusses for the front flaps holding them on.
>>16549031https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hmOwYOO1G4
>>16548508The biggest chance I've seen is when they talked about it on joe rogan and it would've been a really obvious time to say "btw I didnt' grind this myself" when joe is gushing about how much time it would take to achieve this combined with a normal job, let alone running a company or several companies. It's a willful lie by omission, full stop. I give zero fucks how elon does or doesn't play games, how good or bad he is, but if he feels the need to fool people about that, that only seems like a window into his personality to lie about something so petty and unnecessary. It's not just goals and timetables that feel through anymore. He's "that kid". Authenticity is over, I have to wait for actual evidence for everything he's said now just to feel optimism. Is mars just a lie to stir investor enthusiasm and the only real goal is starlink? Is he actually chief engineer of starship? Did elon buy twitter to save free speech or did he just want to start his own everything app? Are his politics real or did he want to be on the right side of populism and make an easy lay up for political power after seeing metrics from X? Does he take AI threats seriously or did he just want to be the leader? I don't have a reason to think he's lying about any of these. But there's little question he's capable of it.
>>16549020>>16549008autists are saying S29
>>16549058your mom, mostly
Oh yeah, load that propellant deep into my ass, dude.

>>16549066Those are exactly my sentimonies
wen scrub
>>165490754 hours
61 MINUTES TO GO !
>>16549066Limiting scope to Spacex-Is there even a single high-ranking former employee who has disputed Elon's importance to their engineering programs? Has anyone who spent significant time working with him
>>16549080devil's advocate, they're all sitting on a zillion bucks of spacex stock and they don't want to fuck it up
>>16549080I fumbled the submit post button before finishing that thought but you get the gist. I'd think that Berger would have highlighted any such stories if he had heard them while interviewing dozens upon dozens of current and former employees.
WEN OFFICIAL STREM?
>>16549084I'm assuming they're avoiding a repeat of their embarrassment and not doing a stream until they're sure it's not gonna scrub
why arent you getting paid to look at a flight tracker and say "yep thats a plane"?
NSF is super cringe
I expect more anime puzzles during our 3-hour pre-scrub session
>>16549090*krystal
>>16549087Do they actually get paid? I always thought it was a volunteer thing, like what boomers do on a weekend
>>16549093who do you think all the youtube membership and superchat money goes to?
Are they actually launching this time?
demonic looking
Clear stream still uncertain.
>>16549097reminder holds and aborts can happen at T-0 and later
>>16549087This dude's head and neck is far too big for his body. It's hilarious.
Stream up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXysNxbGdCg

SAVE US CLEAR
>>16549104WE GAAN
>>16549106it's actually page 10 now, you hotstaged
hey I've heard this music before
>>16549100I see MTL is still shit with pronoun-less Japanese.She wasn't thinking about streaming it. It was referring to BO checking weather.
>>16549100>>16549124why isn't this whore streaming?
>>16548997hellish kino lol. I hope someday we get the video, maybe even with audio.
>>16549132He is an upstanding salaryman >>16548931
>hold
anon! you have to choose one of the following options:> 1. You will fly in a manned Starship Flight 10 missionvs> 2. You will fly in a manned New Glenn Flight 1 missiona 100% safe life support system will be provided.Which one would you choose?
>Literally no footage or any audiothey dont give any shit anymore
is this groundhog day? I've seen this before.
hello
>>16549132she is retard
>>16548471That's a Pallas cat, right?
How many things can go wrong with the BONG? 1) It's their first large rocket. 2) Their first real stage seperation. 3) First time relighting the BE-4 mid-flight 5) First time landing from orbital height 6) First time landing on a moving target.Any more that I'm missing? I feel like they're gonna fail because this is too many things to try all at once.
>>16548912IT'S GONNA LAUNCH
>>16549501no it's a rock
