>>16549106Thread was already on 10 anyways
Good morning!
This better be good.
last time was a stuck valve, this time it should be a boat in the exclusion area. what else for a bingo?
>>16549109even tho it would be a hyperloop
spehs
>>16549107It's on 10 now so it must have been right on the edge
nothing ever happens
Query - "Will New Glenn scrub today?"

Reminder
>>16549144everything is good but someone posted that they were having the same issues from the other night, so we'll see
>>16549147Because it's not launching
>>16549149imagine not launching cause of some cloudsSpaceX would do it
>>16549152anon...
>>16549152remember when they launched goes-u when the weather was like 30% go?
>>16549137This is much more entertaining than Tim's streams usually are
I wonder if Blorg, pending success, will get into flight rate fever to launch them kuipers before the FCC deadline and run into QC issues
>>16549152>he doesn't remember
how long is NSF gonna pussy foot around BO?almost like they're on the payroll
>>16549158they are team space shills
how many more engines does BO have anyways

Falcon rockets have landed 383 times
nsf commentators want a fairing alignment chart mem
Whoever previously said "BO will not stream until they are sure of no scrub" might have been right.
https://x.com/BillboardChris/status/1879701706608705734>people rhinking BONG will actually launch
>>16549158their streams are insufferable and come across like some gay clique of people talking about retarded off topic shit because it is
New Glenn is more sensible than Starship
>>16549172it's pretty obvious since stream won't be live until T-20 which won't occur unless all goes well
>>16549171functional purist, format neutral"3x4 is an alignment chart"
hey uhh, is it just me or did they just forgot to start the stream or something? NG gonna go boom and we won't see any of it because fags forgot to turn on bandicam

West coast chads keep winning
>>16549271considering how late into count they're planning on starting the stream, prob not

Oh no you guys, it's on fire
don't fuck it up bitch!!!
I like the TEL and twin lightning towers setup. It feels very old school.
>>165492980, the pad is made of steel and concrete and cannot explode
>first objective is reaching orbit >not clearing the tower and LSBO is ngmi
>>16549303shit didn't think of that
>>16549271They needed more delays to make more videos.

Be honest anons... do you want this to fail or succeed?
wtf they really kept the kids locked out there for two days
>>16549117oh wow, that is a chunky boy
mustbethelastoneoftheseason.mp4
>>16549309both
>>16549304if they fail spectacularly and destroy launch infrastructure it's a massive indictment of the gratuitous fererro roche development style
>>16549309Why would I want it to fail
>>16549309I never want them to fail, that would be too cruel to the teams that put them together.I just expect them to fail.
>>16549309Succeed. Americans stay winning.
>>16549309Its going to go 100% perfectly and I'm going to seethe so bad
>>16549309I want it to succeed including landing. Having two first stage reusable rockets finally proves it's not JUST Elon and SpaceX, that the age of expendable rockets is over.
>>16549317The copper /gold is kino
I love Joe
is this groundhog day?
>>16549309I want a three way space race between musk, bezos, and chyna (preferably the commies lose again) so it'd be really cool if this succeedednooglin isn't a starship competitor in it's current form but it's the first actual competitor to falcon heavy

>>16549309I want it to fail because it'll be funny and vindicate the hate of them being nu-oldspaceI want it to succeed so that Spacex has something approaching a competitor
If dubs, scrub confirmed.

>>16549416just ignore them and launch anyway. if debris falls on them it's on them for ignoring the exclusion zone.
They already reset the count 3 times???
>>16549428
I just don't fucking get ithave a zone outside of the no-boat zone where if you're in that zone you're told to fuck off why wait until you're in the actual bad zone
>>16549416>>16549425Imagine Super Heavy landing right on top of one of these jewish boaters
>>16549428That's a cool shot
>>16549437what do you mean why? How else would you scrub?

>>16549440https://www.astrobin.com/ddgkka/
>>16549414Then what's the point. Just make the countdown a little bit longer.
How big is the area of ocean that's closed? Anyone got a map?
>>16549445don't worry you got plenty of time
>>16549309I want every American Private Space company to be as successful as possible. I want every single faggot commie who claimed for decades that only the government can achieve greatness on the scale necessary for space exploration to be eternally BTFO'd for being the commie faggots they are.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0gNga6v9EYThis is why they hate Musk. This is why they hate any kind of success that comes from private business. The success of Space X & hopefully of other private space companies has proven beyond all doubt that they have no fucking clue how or why or what it will take to improve the future of Mankind.

Death to jacklyn inshallah
it didn't even make it past re-entry heating
Nice "reusable" rockets you got there, Fagzos.
OHNONONONONO STAGE 1 BROS WE GOT COCKY
>>16549770It says 84,226 feet right there :^)
engine rich engine shutdown i'm guessing
booster dead drone ship capsized (before the booster got to it)
>>16549770It means NOAA weather radar saw a debris field
does jacklyn live
The New Glenn has been destroyed.
nice reusable rocket bezos
when is stage 1 supposed to splashdown?
>>16549788Islam is right about landing barges inshallah
BONGsisters...
Willing to bet that the reentry burn fucked the strakes leading to loss of control authority and triggered the FTS
>>16549793Thank you, what the fuck is 84k feet???
>>16549793That is about when F9 gets really toasty. The booster probably failed from heating.
the radio is using kilometers but the graphic is imperial

>the bums were fistedokay, then
Orbit is cool, but until Blue Origin does both the landing and the orbital insertion, the job is not complete. How long until the next New Glenn launch, do you think?
sounds like an issue with the landing burn? They said it got close to the shipVery good honestly, they're essentially one step away from landing
Second US methalox boosted rocket in orbit. See? It's that easy Elon.
>>16549879It has an integrated payload to test systems for their space tug. Then it'll deorbit.

>>16549988That child just got wrecked.
>>16549998heh well they did try to patent barge landings first
>>16549976Yea but isn't their whole idea that it's supposed to have a gentler re-entry by gliding instead of punching straight through?Always seemed to me like they made that design choice primarily so it would look less like a Falcon 9 knockoff.
Zhuque-2? OrbitVulcan? OrbitAriane 6? OrbitNew Glenn? OrbitStarship? Well...
>>16549928Too popular now.
>>16549998
>>16549985Starship was close enough, they just intentionally kept it technically suborbital.
>>16549971I was wondering the same. If not, where could it be from? As for best footage, the infrared through the clouds was great as well, now that I've seen it I'm surprised I've not seen it done before at least on webcast.
so how many orbits will NG complete?
>>16549996H1B are far lower tier than persons granted asylum in the totem pole of US immigration. Asylees are practically green card holders and count as US persons for ITAR.
goodnight
>>16549913>Fuck I kinda wanted the booster to land
reminder that Starship could reach orbit with 2 more seconds of burn. SpaceX literally chose not to.
>>16549988I had that little shit LIQUIDATED.
>>16549999blended into adrenochrome slushie for jeff
>>16549875only the first stage is reusable and it didn't landwhich is fine, failure is natural and to be expected in early rocket flights.comparing both unfinished rockets, starship will have twice the tonnage of new glenn as well as full rapid reusability aiming to launch again within an hour of landing. new glenn is only reusable on the lower stage, and not right away, and only about 25 times. with half the payload. and it's going to cost more.new glenn is still going to be the second best rocket humanity has. i don't think musk is upset about any of this.
>>16549875>reusableAs an artificial reef?

>didn't land a booster on the first try
>>16550004Maybe you could stop watching so that she can become less popular
Jeff Bezos be like:> I don't feel like fucking my bogged wife today...
>>16549928she keeps exceeding her own cuteness
>>16549892soon if they're not afraid to learn through failure. years if they're still skittish about losing hardware and want to simulate everything a million times first only to have it explode anyways.
>>16550013How much would they be sued for if they failed to deorbit?
>>16550006kek
what could have been
>>16550013>2 more secondsit's not that easy in spaceflight
>>16550020Pretty sure she'll keep getting popular. I just don't care for streams that are that packed.
>>16550023>if they're not afraid to learn through failure
I thought old space made every rocket perfectly on the first try? What happened, thundersisters?Don't they make every single physics calculations and certify every single little piece from these rockets??????? THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!!!!!! I WILL CUT MY DICK OFF!!!!!
imagine having years of simulations and a team poached from SpaceX and still not being able to land a rocket
>>16550026Maybe next time
Alright guys, see you in 2046 for the next launch, I really think that "No testing ever ever" philosophy works just as good for next time
>>16549875>first reusable rocket to hit orbit and carry a payload Anon I...
dont tell me you all actually thought this bitch was gonna land?
>>16550024I think people wouldn't mind if it fell in the middle of New York and caused a massive explosion and massive fires
Fuck I think my Amazon package was on that booster
>>16550036>I knew it wouldn't land>I hoped it would land>I expected it to blow up 3 seconds after liftoff
>>16549964i think the real lesson here is that real life cannot yet be simulated on a computer to the degree required to make a first flight a total success. trial and error is still essential to rocketry.
>>16550039This. but for every rocket ever.
>>16550038your chastity cage, thigh high socks and XL buttplug are showing as still in transit
>>16550037Maybe if it landed in LA they would only need to worry about the explosion
>>16550034I won't take that long. Next flight will happen 2 years from now!transgender people are working very hard to fix the bugs
>>16550036I didn't think it would but I was wrong about where it would asplode.
>>16549978gentlemanly response
>>165500022km/s at 25km altitude is still a lot speed. Falcon 9 is at 1.5km/s at 25km. For napkin math with velocity to the eighth power for estimated heat flux, NG-1 experienced roughly 10x the heating rate of a successful Falcon 9 entry before it blew up.The strakes melted, or they got the aerodynamics wrong and couldn't maintain a glide slope, or their entry burn underperformed. Maybe they'll be transparent about it in the AAR.
>>16550040Well enough to reach orbit on the first try, landing is a bit harder.
>>16550024They probably wouldn't be sued, but would get a big fuck off fine from the FAA for breaking their license conditions and then struggle to get a new one.
>>16550036it's pretty impressive that it made orbit at all. most rockets dont on first attempt
>>16550048If they got this wrong I'm curious about the hover they want to do before landing. There's a reason Falcon 9 goes the harder path and doesn't do it
>>16550043From in transit to in trans he he
Got late to the party. Watched the replay. Is it just me or was it really slow off the pad.
>>16550024>Drop a 50t LOX/Methane bomb somewhere on Earth between the equator and 26 degrees latitude.Most likely it would hit somewhere in the ocean as a debris field but imagine if it dropped on population center or started a huge wildfire.
>>16550055Not if I get to it first
>>16549913"I should eat another Iguana."
>>16550029yeah, like spacex is doing. not being afraid to learn through failure is why spacex is successful. blue origin thought they could skip the failure step using extensive computer simulations over 2 decades. guess not. you do wait until it stops failing before putting any humans or expensive payloads on it though.
>>16550048Radiant heat 8th power, convective heat 3rd power. Convective was probably the dominant parameter at the last known telemetry value. Regardless, there was some sort of aerodynamic failure. It will be funny as hell if this necessitates a years long redesign.
>>16550056NDF said it was at a thrust to weight of 1.15 -1.2 while starship is like 1.5. I thought it was gona flop back down >>16550058UWU
>>16550057>Ocean>Field>House>City>PentagonYour bets anon?
>>16549892Half a year minimum.
>>16550064>PentagonThat's too far north at 39N
Where is the spongebob poster, is he safe, is he alright?
>>16550062Fair enough, so greater than 2x heating rate of a successful Falcon 9 entry.
>>16550043Joke's on you it was just the thigh highs, I already have the other two
>>16550068probably died from cumming too muchwe all faced that risk todaylet us never forget the fallen...
>>16550063>1.15 TWRjesus. Does it even lift off the pad if a single engine fails?
>1.15 TWRnow imagine it fully loaded...
>reminder that Starship could reach orbit with 2 more seconds of burn. SpaceX literally chose not to.if errol had waited 2 more seconds and pulled out instead all of you faggots in here might have a life instead
>>16550075>>16550076hence the 9 engine configuration
>>165500750.985 TWR with one fewer engine, just a quick calculation so don't trust me.
>>16550048I assume something went wrong with entry burn, it hardy slowed down when they called the start of entry burn and I find it hard to believe they would go in so fast, aerodynamic load at that speed on this altitude would be insane so it probably fell apart midair.
>>16550079IT'S TIME
When's the next NG flight? Is there anyone tracking the vehicle builds?
>>16550064
>>16550069I didn't do the math, but the speed of the booster peaked at around 2.3km/s IIRC.
>that terrible video qualityI completely forgot that's how it usually is.SpaceX's presentation really is top notch. Bezos can learn a thing or two.
>>16550083Hard to track vehicle build rates when you can't reliably see them until they pop out of the factory.
>>16550075I imagine they had it throttled down a bit since it was light. Atleast I hope
>>16550086How does Rocket Lab do it so well?
How will small sat launchers hope to compete?

The 2nd company to land an orbital class booster is going to be Chinese, isn't it? Why did Jeff let pride get in the way of just making a Falcon 9 clone?
>>16550106Nooo
good morningwhat did I miss?
>>16550116>The 2nd company to land an orbital class booster is going to be Chinese, isn'tEh, it's not strictly impossible but I doubt itIn term of OFFICAL schedule, these are the current plans:>Deep Blue Aerospace Nebula 1, maiden launch+recovery NET Q2, but it's a relatively small launcher >Galactic Energy Pallas 1, maiden launch without recovery NET Q2, recovery attempt on 2nd or 3rd launch>Space Pioneer Tianlong 3, maiden launch without recovery NET May, focused on full capabilities for megaconstellation deployment for first 6 launches, so recovery attempt NET 2026>Landspace Zhuque 3, maiden launch without recovery NET July, recovery attempt on 2nd launch, they want to recover it before end of year>CASC-SAST CZ-12A maiden launch likely with recovery NET H2>CAS Lijian-2, Interstellar Glory Hyperbola 3 and Space Epoch Yuanxingzhe all aim for the very end of the year and are unlikely to launch this year, only Hyperbola 3 and Yuanxingzhe want to attempt landing on 1st launch.All of these are on the usual schedule risks although CZ-12A, as a chinese government-led project, generally has a more reliable timeline.Only Deep blue aerospace has very slim odds of beating NG unless they fuck up on 2nd landing. but their rocket is closer in size to New Shepard than New Glenn
So what orbit did they finally achieve?
>>16550123MEO
S1 Speed vs time NG vs F9 ASDS (current) vs StarshipFor now, the separation speed is not higher than on F9, but given the overall architecture of the launcher (S1/S2 mass ratio ~5-6 vs 3.5-4 on F9) we can expect them to aim for faster separation on future flights, when they have a better understanding of the launcher's margins.

I still don't get the usecase for NG besides Kuiper which isn't even ready.
From a viewer's POV it was a pretty rubbish launch>low TWR liftoff>can't see anything other than the plumes from external cams>few onboard camera views and those that were shown were low quality/FPS>after a certain point just showed telemetry>booster RUD'd off camera>timeline got stuck on entry burn for a while>"so close to landing">25km up>low-energy crowd>hooray we got to orbit. You can tell because the numbers on the screen stopped increasing!Also it felt to me like the commentary was trying to take a more of an early-Starship-launches kind of stance by implying that any progress beyond liftoff would be a big success. But the difference is New Glenn was built to be 100% successful from the get-go, and yet the booster didn't land. And it wasn't even a case of it being slightly off-target or whatever - the booster failed well before the landing burn
>>16549229i overslept
>>16549532This ship would’ve been a puddle of it was aluminum. Stainless steel apparently allows your heatshield to barely exist and you’ll still make it.

>>16550131
>>16550159I wonder what would have happened if they used steel and metallic TPS for the space shuttle.
>>16550163Lack of spectacle. And there wasn't much rocket to see anyway.
>>16550164>starting with the edges
>>16549371>>remember when Starship was going to launch Friday?I remember when Musk said there would be a manned Mars mission in 2024.
>>16550171Remember when he said "I think we have a duty to maintain the light of consciousness to make sure it continues into the future", and then started beefing with some basement cockroaches over gamer bona fides.
>almost no onboard footage>shitty connectionThat was one of the worst launch livestreams I have ever seen.
>>16550172Yep, I even remember him calling one of the worlds best rescue divers a pedo because Musk's sub wouldn't fit through the cave.
>>16549989that spotlight effect is crazyI can't wait for a night launch of starship
I didn't expect them to land the booster, but orbit on the first try is still pretty good.Video was trash though>>16549532spicy
>>16550121do we even know if blue origin can complete a second booster before next year?
>>16550157Can't believe I'm saying it, but SLS coverage absolutely mogged New Glenn
>>16549968it's the fact that the women are in their 40s with communications degrees that gets me. at least Kate and Jessie are young engineers
How are the Chinese, Euros, Firefly, Stoke, Rocket Lab etc suppose to compete? Landing rockets seems fucking hard. Even if they land them, will it be as consistent as SpaceX?
>>16549968well it worked for The Beatles
>>16550205>Even if they land them, will it be as consistent as SpaceX?What do you mean by this unironically? Whenever they land them a few times and use the failures to iron shit out, it will be consistent.
>>16550205Landing orbital booster isn't easy, but it's doable, just need trial and error.it NEEDS a mass produced rocket organization for that trial and error tho, Rocket lab's whole plan of building only 4 S1 will never work. BO will eventually figure it out, they've got another booster late in production and 2 other in various sage of production that are expected to be finished in the next 12 months. >>16550179
>>16550211>mass produced>to be finished in the next 12 monthssomeone needs to explain to Jeff what "mass production" means
>>16550208oi. you oughtn't being saying that sort of fing about our boy. particularly ringo whos been through a lot
>>16550215I didn't have too many beatle pics to post, but I like Ringo best because he's the silly beatle
>>16550214It's a fine goal for a first year
>>16550205The secrets of VTVL has largely been solved because late movers can simply observe what F9 has been doing and implement their own twist.Hardest part is the deep throttling, you generally want a 20:1 ratio between total liftoff thrust and thrust at landing - F9's is close to 23:1 in the last few seconds.You can figure out optimal trajectories and such after a few attempts.
So what happened to Project Jarvis?
>>16550225What's the over under on there being at least 50 articles about how it's over for SpaceX within the next 48 hours?
>>16550215Ringo is so whimsical
>>16550223merlin can throttle below 50%? I thought it was limited to like 70% minimum
Neat anniversary
>>1655024940 and possibly below. And crucially they have very fine control over the entire range which is why they can land the booster after the Galileo MEO mission.

If you snuck onto the beach before the road closures and hid in the bushes until launch, would it be possible for you to survive the 130-140dB?

>>16550326Why?
>>16550350its really starting to look like some kind of hobo encampment up there
>>16550350I wish they'd hurry up and build the next one
Didn't stay up for it, looks like I made the right decision. The stream replay was weak as fuck, a bit embarrassing. With few nice visuals to show for it, lets just hope there is more footage they're sitting on to release before the next flight (summer?). Overall forgettable, I highly doubt these launches will become a real "happening" here, with tourists and all, because its simply boring, cringe, and depressing. Only about 5 minutes of low quality content in the whole decade it took them to do this test flight.Who's well rested and ready to watch a real launch, at 4:20 today?
>>16550359sums it up really. too bad because its a nice rocket. i mean seriously, not even a camera on the catch boat watching for the booster coming in. sure it probably melted itself but at least let everyone watch the fireworks...but no, nothing, just a thousand staff members and millions of fans up all night with nothing to look at. what were they thinking>
>>16550359Not well rested but ready, happy tha bong happened do i dont have keep thinking about itThey need to step up their streams + get better video from NG
>>16550350That looks like so much fun, trying to do work that lives depend on while you have several cameras pointed at you and all while completely surrounded by instant death. The view though!
cute
>>16549447The point of the countdown is to run through a sequence of checks. If everything checks good then there is no delay. If something checks bad then they have to hold and restart at least some of the checklist.New Glenn is new so it's bound to have many delays, and the Shuttle was very complicated and used liquid hydrogen which always has a tendency to leak.
>>16549838That's wild.
>>16550100I think they have another test mission (Blue Moon Pathfinder) penciled in for March

>>16550388starship palate cleanse later today
>>16550388I was struck by how much it seemed like a failed attempt to copy SpaceX in every aspect
>>16550395It's sad that even if Starship does something stupid like explode on the pad it's more interesting than the BO launch.
Oh fuck, hopefully it's not delayed too much
>>16550398What are you talking about, pad explosions are always cool.
>>16550302I told everyone here he's losing it on drugs. This doesn't turn around.
>>16550395yeah, thats exactly how it is lol>>16550396and yet all the while pretending that nothing else exists apart from their own rocket. the whole thing was very strange. i really tried to get excited but......nothing. maybe the old butch dyke host didn't help, i dont know.....
https://x.com/LNGFrankie/status/1879798623824724317>Yes. I repeated the calc at 15 sec when it was going ~68 km/hr. That was an average TWR of 1.13 over the first 15 secs. Taking the limit to T=0 implies an instantaneous TWR of about 1.06 at liftoff.
https://x.com/rfa_space/status/1879815285848334446> RFA received its launch license!! >We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded our Spaceflight Operator License by the UK Civil Aviation Authority! This historic license makes us the first European company to receive regulatory approval for orbital rocket launches from mainland Europe. The license is not limited in time and covers a wide range of orbits and trajectories. All three key regulatory authorizations required for an RFA ONE test flight in 2025 from SaxaVord Spaceport have now been granted
>>16550355>starting
>1.06jesus fucking christ
Imagine 1.06 is normal and thats what their operating margins are… they ran the simulations bros not me
>>16550412And that wasn't even with any real payload
>>16550412>>16550424>>16550426They're going to have to get the weight of the first stage down and/or get the thrust of the first stage up. Two more BE-4s would do the trick, and even though it would burn through its propellant reserves that much faster, the gravity losses would be cut so much that it'd probably be higher and going faster at staging.
low TWR is fine and optimal actuallyas you burn fuel it goes upYou can't go fast to start anyways because of dense low altitude air
>>16550426Even with a max payload a Delta IV Heavy had a TWR of about 1.2, and that was a rocket that was notorious for sluggish takeoffs. Blue needs to find a way to squeeze more thrust out of those engines
>>16550431That's not how any of that works. The lower your thrust to weight ratio is, the more of your total Delta-V capacity is spent fighting the constant force of gravity. Below a ratio of, I want to say 1.2, you are losing delta-V to insufficient thrust.
>>16550418fair comment
they are selling the engines, how can they just start making big changes
>>16550435sell design-freezed engines and then continue developing the ones that go into your own vehicle
SpaceX launches have spoiled us with their high quality real time streams, was pretty lame just seeing telemetry
https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/1879799319693603137they need to make BE-4 better
>>16550440It has not spoiled us. It has just correctly raised the bar. You know how far behind every other company is not even in streaming. The very least they could do is provide better streams.
I can feel it, starship is exploding today

https://x.com/spacecoastwest/status/1879796642674782428>Looks like Blue Origin may have experienced a BE-4 RUD during the Exoatmospheric Deceleration Burn (Entry Burn). From camera views, the burn was about 15 seconds shorter than expected, and the engines were not decelerating the booster much at all. The hue of the engine burn does not match that of ascent. It appears to be a fuel-rich combustion rather than the OXrich it is designed for.>This would explain why they were not performing as expected. The LOX tank on New Glenn is in the bottom like Super Heavy, and based on the animation, there is quite a dramatic (and unrealistic) flip prior to the entry burn. My guess is that this could have led to fuel slosh and oxygen starvation, which in return destroys the turbopumps leading to an engine RUD.>This might not be correct at all, but based on my analysis, this might be what led to the loss of “So You are Telling Me There’s a Chance”.

why yes i believe i can totally diagnose a guy based on his twitter posts
Hide bait posts, ignore bait posters.The differences in design philosophy between Starship and New Glenn are interesting to see at liftoff. The BE-4 is designed for a lower chamber pressure, and Blue decided to keep the engine count down. The result is a rocket that takes its time getting off the pad. Starship, by comparison, can't have enough chamber pressure or enough thrust, and can't get off the pad fast enough.

>>16550612alright. tell me how is his behavior beneficial? what kind of 12d chess is elon playing that pretending to be a god gamer by buying accounts boosted to the top of the leaderboard and then streaming, displaying complete lack of knowledge of even the most basic game mechanics, thus making himself a laughing stock, then doubling and tripling down while lashing out at his supporters, acting like an insecure lolcow, how does this get us to mars faster? i still support elon, i still support spacex, i am still optimistic spacex will get to mars. i just think if elon put his autistic obsession into accelerating as much as possible, he could at the very least have already achieved a starship moon landing if not already made a mars attempt this cycle
>>16550622His H1B meltdown stuck around. I'm an Elon slobber all the way, but he is rapidly losing favor with people that would love him if he stopped fucking up
>>16550619>the video games Elon playsRather the video games he has interns play for him.
>>16550613The procurement was for a service and so was launcher agnostic, no? Regardless of what the expectations of some people at NASA were, apparently the money was sufficient to let SpaceX develop an in-house big rocket. And since NASA gave them that money as a procurement rather than equity, it means the taxpayer doesn't own the rocket whose development they were the main funder of.
employedfag here, can I get a QRD on the Bezos launch? Did the rocket come back and land?
>>16550562Sure, if it can discover materials useful for making TPS tiles or rocket engine components (I doubt it's useful for anything)
>>16550629Yep, first American rocket to land the first stage.
>>16550585I'm just disappointed Elon didn't call him Asmongloid or repost the comparison to Cyraxx
>>16550629It blew up and the ship. TWR of 1.06. Im not gonna sugarcoat it… its bad
>>16550631first American rocket to reach orbit*that's why it's new GLENN after all
>>16550625I don't care what video games he plays, I'm paying attention to the roggets.Incidentally some random anon turned me on to Spirit of the North yesterday and I've been enjoying it quite a bit. You probably don't care though, which is how I feel about Elon's gaming.
we're on the cusp of making it to mars, or are we?
>>16550628>apparently the money was sufficient to let SpaceX develop an in-house big rocketNo, it was sufficient to develop dragon. It had nothing to do with falcon.
>>16550638Total crash course out of Earth
>>16550629The rocket successfully lifted off and staged, and the second stage carried the payload into orbit. The first stage seems to have had a major engine failure during the entry burn, and the stage crashed into the water at high speed.
>>16550638We're at this weird middle ground where there's a vehicle in development that could feasibly haul enough mass to Mars to build a city, but even getting boots on the ground right now would be a challenge.
>>16550638Two more years, tard.
>>16550645The human components of the Apollo program occupied a disproportionate part of the development time and budget.
>>16550638>we're on the cusp of making it to mars, or are we?the answer will depend on ai. if things go well we will have self replicating robots on mars this decade. if not we will never make it>>16550636if you dont care why did you reply?
>>16550645I should start reading the Red/Blue/Green Mars trilogy again, I never finished the second book but the first one was cool.
I wish to see Bezos rocket land
>>16550648You keep bringing it up every day like I should, I'll keep reminding you that I don't. >>16550650It would have been cool, better luck on the next one. Hopefully it's this year.
>>16550649KSR is too much of a shitlib for me (I think he advocates for not actually colonizing mars)I lost my suspension of disbelief when mars started taking earth refugees due to 'overpopulation'
why are they like this
>>16550639How did SpaceX fund Falcon 9 development then? Falcon 1 revenue was a pittance, and Musk himself said that he had no more investments to put into the company and SpaceX was close to bankruptcy in 2008
>>16550655Spacex had 3 funding rounds between 2008 and 2010 so probably those.
>>16550653Why do Indians do bad click bait?Well it's obvious that they are better and harder working than American click bait.
>>16550655>>16550628The CRS procurement services paid for completing the development of both Falcon 9 and Dragon. Both the capsule and the vehicle were already under development with Musk's own fortune and the company's first private investors.
>>16550651wait they didn't manage to land it?
>>16550662Nah it lost telemetry well before the landing burn was supposed to happen, I'm not sure if it broke up during reentry or if it lived long enough to smash against the sea. Either way it didn't land on Jacklyn.I'd like to know more about what failed but I doubt we'll get more answers than we have now, not from BO.
https://x.com/mcrs987/status/1879924065252626786>GS1 SN001 Impact location at roughly 27°37'27"N 74°28'06"W>This was weirdly elusive to track. This small plume, clearly oriented downwind, appears at 07:11 UTC. About a minute after the entry burn. Gone in the next image. The fact that there is a sort of smoke plume makes me believe it impacted the ocean while mostly intact, yet still at high speed. This impact location is about 53 kilometers southwest of the LPV, possibly indicating severe guidance issues just before or during the entry phase.
Well shut me up, there's fresh info about what happened right there. I stand corrected.
>>16550570A lot. If you watched the second stage telemetry it lost over ten miles of altitude on the way to orbit. A third engine would do wonders for GS2, or maybe just leave this one as the turd it is while building a reusable replacement... and a wider first stage with eleven engines.
>>16550665>makes me believe it impacted the ocean while mostly intact, yet still at high speedIt ain't that easy in relighting rocket engines coming down the wrong way.
>>16550667It's too big and/or got too little thrust. When I watched the launch I fully expected it to blow up shortly after takeoff based on how fucking slow it was off the pad.
>>16550668>It ain't that easy in relighting rocket engines coming down the wrong way.How do you know that?
>>16550649The first book was the best. Whenever KSR starts a book, a countdown always starts ticking towards the point where the story becomes about "and here's why MY brand of communism is the correct one." For some books the counter starts at zero, but the Mars trilogy was able to get away mostly clean until fairly early on in Green Mars. He also uses robotics and automation like they're magic that can solve any problem. A character will just roll up to a situation and solve it by programing fully autonomous robots to handle it like they're some kind of wizard.
>>16550669It's a common problem with small hydrologgs second stages. Ariane 5/6 and Centaur are the same way. ICPS only isn't because the SLS core stage thröösts it 99% of the way to orbit.
>>16550670It hit the sea at full speed?
STAGE NOW WE HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT I WILL CONTINUE CRYING UNTIL SOMEONE STAGES
>>16550672Ariane as well as Vulcan both have to use SRB training wheels to deal with it.It's too fucking fat.
>>16550661Obviously Falcon 9 was under development before they got the contract or the money. Development began at least in 2005, and it was based on Falcon 1 tech so it could be said development started from the very first day of SpaceX. Which means this argument can be taken even longer, considering that Musk hired the development team from TR-106/TR-107, which were developed with taxpayer money. One can also point to how they leased government launch infrastructure for Falcon 9, which is a type of subsidy since they didn't have to pay the full up-front cost of brand new launch infrastructure.By the way, I'm not saying this as criticism of NASA or SpaceX. This is how industrial policy in capitalist country is supposed to work, unlike for example a market socialist country like China were the government often takes an equity stake in companies it helps fund. My only criticism is that NASA hasn't done more to help create more companies like SpaceX.
>>16550647I think it was actually proportionate. Also remember that spacex is working on a human rated version of starship and has functional space suits.
>>16550671>until fairly early on in Green MarsYeah the Mars cult stuff was baffling to me, I really enjoyed the first book where everything is getting set up at a massive scale.
>>16550659I assume this was only possible because they had secured a big contract in 2008When exactly were the CRS/COTS milestone payments paid out?
>>16550674Someone please stage with an /sfg/ ULA edition, to make the SpaceX cultists mad.
>>16550676>brand new launch infrastructureDude, they built their own infrastructure out of scraps they found around KSC. The shit they leased had rotted there forever.
>>16550676Fair enough. Still, people over-extend the relevance of TR-106 and TR-107 with regards to Merlin. They are similar engines in concept, but have no engineering commonality or ancestry.>>16550677They used roughly equal portions of time and budget, but they are much smaller and far lighter parts of the architecture than the launch vehicles.
>>16550676>>16550655COTS was structured as a kind of public private partnership requiring the contractor to put in some of their own money up front, so it was a kind of support rather than a full funding. At least, it required the contractor to take a big risk with their own capital, even if they could make it all back later
>>16550680The Mars trilogy is great when you can ditch the plot and characters and just read it as a 19th century travelog describing another planet
>>16550683How much expensive civil work did they have to do? How much range telemetry and other supporting infrastructure did they have to build?
Why should we stage? Let this be the longest /sfg/ thread
>>16550687Tell us more about this brand new infrastructure they were handed.
STAGE RIGHT FUCKING NOWWWWW NOWWW NOW NOW NOW NOW
>>16550501>new glenn is about to start eating into falcon's profitsretard
>>16550684>no engineering commonality or ancestry.Those projects kept a cadre of engineers with up to date expertise and experience on rocket engine development, which probably saved SX a ton of time and money when SX was at its most vulnerable. Imagine if Elon had hired noobs to develop his rockets - the additional costs and delays would've probably driven SX bankrupt.
Staging>>16550696>>16550696>>16550696
>>16550693I'm not saying that it didn't help them at a critical time. The bad faith version of the argument goes something like "SpaceX didn't make those engines, they copied them entirely from NASA, Elon steals everything." That argument shows up often enough that it's hard not to address it.
>>16550165One of the shuttles did suffer a tile loss and only survived because it hit a steel member and not something more melty. It was originally considered to build the shuttle out of titanium but I believe most of it is sourced from Russia plus cost made them reconsider. Russia did build a titanium submarine but it had to be welded in a giant inert tent with the welders in basically diving suites
>>16550707So it had a trench and a slab of concrete.Oh and they had to *purchase* an oxygen tank? That's not given, unless you're of the hebrew persuasion.
>>16550667yeah it was odd no one mentioned that. it descended from about 127 miles to 100 miles over the course of just a few minutes
>>16550688first thread to last through a NG and starship launch
>>16550674cry about it, faggot
>>16550685mostly, COTS was a sign of approval from NASA that caused private capital to try to jump into Elon's pants
>>16550348amazing restraint not to say "welcome to the club"
>>16550521Because it's NASA. Who gives a fuck?
>>16550795He's saving that for when they actually land a booster.
I missed it. I forgot the launch. fuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU>>16550157>>low-energy crowdlmao you americans are so funny. how do you faggots not understand that the all the cheering in spacex streams probably were and are fucking staged
>>16552778the launch was a massive L ngl
