you would need a purpose for all this AI computing power though
>>16901756Helping humans of course..
>>16901756full immersion VR gooning
>>16901756A basic query and response gets a lot better as the number of parallel agents and model size grows, but this also makes the compute and power requirements grow. One of these machines might be good for a relative handful of people, but if you have billions of users making use of the AIs, the amount of inference compute you need soon becomes ludicrous. Microsoft and OpenAI both poisoned the well on the idea of needing that much compute: OpenAI by scaling way faster than demand, and Microsoft trying to shove it down our throats in useless schemas. But that doesn't mean there isn't actual value or utility in AI services. Demand for them is probably going to start growing much faster when they can be paired with robotics and automation services that exist outside of pure software environments. That leap hasn't been made yet, but it will probably show up soon.
Absolutely over for space endeavors. Not a chance at achieving anything of substance.

https://www.russianspaceweb.com/olymp.html#2026>At the end of March 2025, Olymp-1 left its position at 18 degrees West longitude, where it was sitting for around 2.5 years next to the Intelsat-37E communications satellite, and started drifting eastward at a rate of 0.5 degrees per day. By early September 2025, the spacecraft re-adjusted its orbit back to a geostationary altitude, fixing its position over 65.5 degrees East longitude, but its orbital plane naturally tilted to 1.14 degrees from the equatorial plane, indicating that ground control no longer performed necessary adjustments, perhaps due to lack of propellant.>After around a month at the geostationary altitude in October 2025, Olymp-1 climbed several hundreds kilometers into a seemingly "burial" orbit at the end of its mission. It therefore operated for nearly 11.5 years, or less then a standard 15-year life span of geostationary satellites, which could be explained by extensive maneuvers that resulted in the rates of propellant consumption not typical for the satellites in this class. On Jan. 30, 2026, the Switzerland-based S2a company, specialized in space situational awareness, reported that Olymp had started tumbling in its graveyard orbit and additional objects had been detected in the vicinity of the satellite. The company said that the fragmentation took place at 06:09:03.486 UTC on Jan. 30, 2026.https://x.com/s2a_systems/status/2017192355279884655>A short time lapse of the fragmentation event on LUCH (OLYMP) #40258 that took place today, 2026-01-30 from 06:09:03.486 UTC.

>>16901865how are you going to watch youtube videos with those
>>16901857Raising capital for what
>>16901870For the sake of raising capital and investing it further. You have people who want to make money, then there are people who like to make a lot of money, and then you have ascended types who want to literally drive the entire market itself such as elon. For better or for worse
>>16901878Did Mars ever actually matter to elon
>>16901883Sincerely yes, I don’t doubt it. I think he is serious about a backup to civilization and the autism of doing some sort of Mars city just as much as he cared about undercutting old legacy launchers with F9 and reusability. But I think his market and business autism reigns supreme over everything else and Starlink success sort of triggered a “okay hmmm Mars is going on the backburner here, there’s an entire market to tap” line of thinking
>>16901883It was never about merely putting man on Mars, or even a self-sufficient colony, it was always about ensuring humanity could survive even if the worst happened to Earth. "The worst" is not Earth being struck by some destructive cosmic event, but being controlled by people hostile to humanity ever escaping their grasp. He needs to ensure humans in space can not only survive in space without Earth, but survive a fight against Earth.
Humanity was never meant to go further than LEO
>>16901905It's necessary
>>16901905If humanity was meant to do something it was go extinct when it numbered 10k. This is all extra fuck you time against the universe.
>>16901905Yet we landed on the Moon just fine. And idc the Catholic church already has soft doctrine to send priests and establish new parishes off-world, the vatican already said they’re going to do it when the time comes. It is inevitable.People used to say man wasn’t made to fly in the air in machines, and that rockets were just a philosophical idea conductive to science fiction stories. Never bet against the indomitable human spirit
>>16901912Careful now, we could still be absolutely blindsided by a dark planet killer from the black backdrop of space that we don’t even see coming until it smashes into the lithosphere and kills off all human life

I'm all for a Mars settlement but the probability of a an extinction level event on earth that doesn't affect Mars too is incredilby small.
>>16901870SpaceX: to build a lot of ships fast, build a lot of AI data center satellites fast (instead of having to wait for starlink to grow and fund it from cashflows)Tesla: they just increased their capex guidance to 20bil this year, building a lot of different things and this doesn't include plans for a GigaFab for chips/memory/packaging and a separate fab for solar panels, a rapid scaling of robotaxis and related infrastructure is also going to need a lot of capital. Tesla has 44b but that might not be enough for all of the needed plansxAI: will need massive amounts of capital for compute, they just raised 20bil but the demand for compute is insane
>>16901768In 2040 $3 trillion will be roughly equal to what Mcmurdo costs
>>16901885no, this is a way to use all the ships and boosters that are waiting between mars synodsstarlink launches are not going to eat up enough of launch capability for amounts of mass he wants to send to marsAI datacenters will have unending demand for launches however, which means that outside of preparing for mars launch windows, the launch infrastructure and vehicles can be used for something that will simultaneously pay for the mars launches starlink might justify building starship, but it doesn't have the launch demand to justify building enough launch capability for the 100 megatonnes of mass into orbit that mars is going to need (I don't remember the number he was flinging around, but it has probably increased if he is talking about building 10k ships per year, the last time it was like 1k ships)
>>16901921its not simply about a complete extinction event, its about events that make civilization on earth stagnate in a way that doesn't allow for space explorationthis encompasses a lot of things that don't necessarily mean total annihilation of all humans

>>16901958>regressinghuh?! Blue Origin is putting more resources on a vehicle that goes beyond earth orbit. How is that regressing?

Hey I'm a faggot and I know about aliensThis is how they do it:There is something in the core of stars that resists normal gravity. This is the reason the entire universe is not just one big blob.They mine some of that and know how to manipulate it, congrats now your ship floats.Since your ship doesn't weigh anything, you can propel it forward with light. Light does have mass. I have only seen this type of ship once, and it can turn in space. When I show this ship to other people with my psychic powers they see a flying bell, which told me that they focus the light with sound. The ship had two engines and left two trails of golden light behind it. That's how light speed is done. Light speed is lame though, some aliens can teleport. Wormholes are real but I'm too dumb to know understand anything about them. Some aliens even have what I call 'phase machines' that can basically be in two places at once, go figure.How do I get my Nobel prize?

>>16902029go even further, to 2021, and then show them how in 2026 SLS, New Glenn, Vulcan, H3, and Ariane 6 all have gone into orbit before Starship, which is STILL in experimental stage, haven't sent anything into orbit, haven't tested orbital refilling, got its payload reduced from 150T to 'at most' 100T which is still several versions away, also got its pressurized volume reduced by a third, ditched methane sweating for a traditional heat shield composed of thousands of unique pieces just like the shuttle, still hasn't launched from florida, found the 'chomp' bay doors too difficult and opted for a pez dispenser, still years away from a manned variant, still no tanker versions, and blows up in every other launch. oh, and don't forget to tell them about the SpaceX IPO, possible merge with Tesla, dearmoon cancellation, 2022 2024 and 2026 mars launch windows missed, blue moon, musk being in the epstein files, and artemis ii happening for real thus beating spacex.they'd kill themselves on the spot.
>>16902089That was the Zhuque-3 upper stage? Fun fact it recently came out that Landspace didn't have a predetermined target orbit for this launch, they internally just had a goal to reach the highest orbit possible with the circularization burn burning to depletion, they hoped to reach at least 140km apogee to declare a success.

This is necessary long-term and is something we've been talking about for a while. You can't re-enter that amount of mass without causing problems.That's not what it says. It says active disposal first. And then dumping them in orbit. Then maybe escape trajectory. In that order.The concerning part is the middle one. Having thousands of tonnes of dead satellites in orbit for hundreds of years. Not clear if 1/100 is globally or per or orbit, or per spacecraft. Also after 100 years your satellites are going to break apart. Active disposal into the atmosphere is the only rational option.

What's the gravity cutoff point for jello babies? For healthy childhood? What about radiation protection? All of this applies to Mars as well btw.

>>16902375>>16902379Tricky, none of the commonly used solar cell production processes are suitable for the moon since it's extremely poor in hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and fluorine. Halide perovskite cells made with vacuum sputtering instead of solution might be plausible. You're still importing carbon in that case, but in meaningfully low enough quantity that it might be worthwhile.

>>16902390as long as there is some way to create panels, doesn't even matter much how inefficient they are as the moon has plenty of materialswith mass drivers and robots its a self-sustaining system shitting out panels
why did they do new shepherd in the first place ?Why continue it for a decade?
>>16902394>a self-sustaining system shitting out panelsThat's the problem, shitting out panels without any imports is pretty damn hard. Blue Origin has a dedicated team that's been working on it for years and they're still, as far as I know, dealing with a lot of the challenges to doing it via pure ISRU. It gets a lot easier if there's something you can procure from Earth or another body.
>>16902397testing stuff, not sure why they made a crew version though
>>16902398hmmone silver lining in this is that if this is truly the case and no solar panel can be made from moon raw materials, then that is going to be a forcing function for driving more and more efficient moon cargo delivery systems
>>16902222nice digits because it's true. I have been saying for years that Blue will land cargo and humans on the moon before SpaceX, youa re right about Mars too if Benzo decides to. Blue simply have an achievable archietecture, SpaceX is working toward the design laid out by Musk which is 5x harder than it needs to be, and has lotsof baked in bullshit problems because Musk thinks they are cool features.
>>16902406>I have been saying for yearsNo you haven't, stop lying.
>>16902402Ceres is the other key to bootstrapping the industrialization of the solar system.

How the hell do you cool a data center in space in a practical way? Surely that is a showstopper?Even if you can cool it, the temperature extremes due to lack of atmopshere seem to just be a disadvantage, as well as the increased error rate due to radiation. There seem to be no pros to in space compute aside from "it is in scifi", only disadvantages.
>>16902446>reddit
Nooooo!
>>16902447>How the hell do you cool a data center in space in a practical way?With hopes and dreams.
>>16902447you cool it with a radiator, you optimize the chips to run at higher temperaturesthe pro is that you have unlimited power, real estate and cooling (when you solve the problems)yes, the cooling is going to be an engineering problem like the radiation, but a H100 has been demonstrated to run in orbit already
>>16902450>>16902447Radiators. Everyone seems to think 100 kilowatts thermal is a lot, and it really isn't, especially if you use a heat pump. These things are going up on Starship, so stop thinking like a Mass Autist.
>>16902447The main pro would be potentially reduced time to get it powered if it's going to take years and be more regulated on the surface.
>>16902454>These things are going up on StarshipSo 250 mil for a 30T delivery? seems like mass autism is still required.
>>16902458Starships expended cost about $100 million, so I have no idea where you get $250 million, and 30 tons was Block 1 with reuse.

ARTEMIS 2
>>16902472Im still excited about it.
>>16902447>There seem to be no pros to in space compute aside from "it is in scifi", only disadvantages.The pro is money, at least in the short term. People can see the insane levels of investment being thrown at OpenAI, Oracle and Nvidia, with little regard for returns. They want a big slice of that pie, and Grok isn't exactly competitive. They want a niche to sell to investors. It's something that they are uniquely qualified for, and it will massively inflate the share price with speculation. It's not a coincidence that this was decided at the same moment they are going public. Whether or not it is useful or profitable seems to be irreverent. I guess they also hope it would give them priority in buying hardware, being able to give manufactures a space-hardware premium. And I'm sure it isn't irrelevant that it would make him the first trillionaire. The risk is the bubble bursting. The industry is unlikely to vanish overnight, but a sudden drought in investment will cool things off.
>>16902472but did they really have to launch it at 20 after midnight on sunday/monday when everyone has to go to work in the morning?Saturday night would have been way better for viewership.
>>16902472I was chatting with my mother just now, I mentioned they're flying around the moon in a week(?), her response was basically oh, anyway my ankle is aching. But then again she saw the Apollo stuff back in the day so maybe it's not very interesting 50 years later
>need like 20 refuels for a single moon ar mars starship>starlinks>space data centersIt's going to take years for them to reach falcon 9 cadence. So many things they want to do and the rocket that supposed to do all that doesn't even work. I feel like they are stretching themselves thin.
>>16902485I can’t help but think that any Lunar flight will be refilled by tankers atop expendable SuperHeavies to minimize the launches needed. Everyone keeps saying no, no, they want to always fly these reusable. But anything going to the Moon is going to be an Artemis thing with NASA money and if Raptor3 really is as cheap as everyone says then I don’t see why they couldn’t just build and spend some super heavies for Artemis

https://spacenews.com/spacex-files-plans-for-million-satellite-orbital-data-center-constellation/>The filing did not include a deployment schedule or cost estimate. SpaceX requested a waiver of FCC milestone requirements that typically require half of a constellation to be deployed within six years of authorization and the full system within nine years. The company argued the milestones are intended to prevent spectrum warehousing and are unnecessary because it would use Ka-band spectrum on a non-interference basis.

>>16902363For reference. 100 GW is 143 million GPUs per year, assuming 700 W (H100). Nvidia actually shipped something like 2 or 3 million in 2025.
>>16902550Elon's companies are already spinning up their own ASICs for AI work, and they use a lot less power than Nvidia GPUs for a given amount of application specific processing power.
Last chance to get aboard the Blorgin train. Get in now or fuk off forever with lamex.
>>16902518they will live on forever in our memories
>>16902555And how long do you think it's going to take for them to produce a competitive product? Not to mention building out all the support and software needed. And then how long will it take to produce them 100 times faster than the market leader? Google are building TPUs, and they are only expecting to build 3 million in 2026, after a decade development.>they use a lot less power than Nvidia GPUs for a given amount of application specific processing power.All that maters to the calculation is the power per unit. If it is lower, then would need to produce even more to get to 100 GW/yr.
>>16902568They're probably 18 months from a large scale TSMC tapeout, and probably 36 months from opening their own fab(s). You're right, they will need to build even more hardware than Nvidia GPUs alone would suggest.

>>16902620it's for the best that this general purges any remaining delusions around eeeelooonnnnn
>>16902555This would be a genuine challenge to overcome the incumbents in IC design.Unlike automotive and space incumbents, both fabs and fabless companies are highly competent, and as far as I have felt, device engineers and IC design engineers have not lifted their foot from the gas pedal for a really long time.

>>16902627Did he admit to having contact with the mossad agent before these mails where leaked?
The discord is laughing at us again.
>>16902630There's low hanging fruit to pick, mostly in the design of the ASIC itself. All they're doing right now is making the physical hardware one byte wide instead of four to eight, which makes it worthless for anything but 8 bit paradigms but that's all they want in their current IC design iteration anyway.
>>16902632more, i can't take it anymorei literally NEED a mars manned mission now, i'm going insane after being teased and edged for years, and years, and years, and years, and years on end about mars ever since i was a child, it's always ten/twenty years away, so close yet so far away AGGGHGHGGHHG#lñkñ$#l
>>16902641aye, but at what cost?
>>16902643The fiscal cost of doing it is less than the psychiatric cost of not doing it by this point. Optimizing for mediocrity destroys the soul.
>>16902641I honestly think the best outcome here is that Artemis 3 sees some delays while China ramps up its drive to put a chink on the Moon, and it ends up being very very close. So close that NASA is actually sweating and Congress suddenly gives a shit for a little bit. But it is imperative that America DOES get back to the moon first before China, so that China is a bit justed by this but then decides to use their momentum to try and get to Mars first before everybody else and thus a true speed race for Mars between the USA and China can happen.
>>16902647There won't be a viable HLS this side of 2030 just saying. But agree with the rest of that.
>>16902638Not that I'm aware of. His ex wife did say years ago that they visited his house in NY, "as part of an itinerary of appointments". She put this out as a defense of Musk when the photo of him was circulating with Maxwell, but she didn't really mention their ties to Epstein. But it seems she was being economical in the truth.
>>16902653the absolute lamest and most gay outcome would be HLS holding back A3 and normies laugh at Elon and the media says he is to blame and China gets there first before we can return and nobody gives a shit and public interest in any more Artemis missions just fizzles out. Blackpilling but I sense in my heart this is an actual outcome that may happen
>>16902637he is a public figure, people would talk about him
Epstein jerking off to futa FNAF sfm animations on 4chan is a bigger bombshell than any of the Elon mentions.
>>16902685what's EDGE? is it spaceflight?
>>16902685Well we do know who was there. As the organization put pictures on the website. Someone called Jeff. And a very happy Elon. >>16902676There are several from Musk himself. Him asking to go to the island:>>16902603>>16902348>>16902226
>>16902697But who's that blurry guy in the background?
>>16902665May? Will. Elon is distracted by his new shiny and ignoring current projects.
>>16902665Currently, the only way seems to be Blue Origin's Blue Moon MK1 adapted into an Apollo-style lander. Blue is building lunar landing simulation equipment (similar to what China unveiled in Sep). So if the MK1.5 let's call it is well-prepared it has a 50% chance of landing on the moon before China. They might also face some delays. This is basically the only realistic option. I do get the sense that Congress has already been advised on this and they'll shift the narrative to beating China on utilisation in the 2030s.
>>16902694No. Some rich people/science/art bullshit. But this is. Will we ever find out if little Jeffy got his tour?
>>16902707idk Elon and Mr. Administrator Isaacman seem hopefully confident that HLS Starship will be ready in time. I’m holding on belief for now, because I doubted Elon over Falcon 9 and got proven way the hell wrong
>>16902708
>>16902697>Him asking to go to the island:he was just scoping out potential launch sites
>>16902711HLS requires a working Starship in serial production, working tanker and lander versions, depot and testing of everything and dozens of flights just to gas up deport.Impossible. Elon failed again.

>>16902640Fair, but ASIC design is the easy bit, or the one that gets redesigned from the ground up every 2/3 generations anyway.The entire stack of advanced packaging, co-design of chiplets, now co-packaged optics or high bandwidth switches/inter-chip comms. There's way more going on in datacenters than the compute ASIC, almost everyone has the same performance from the compute silicon afaik.There's a way to get there like they figured out MZM transceiver on starlink by poaching the right people, but yet Starlink laser comms is very minimally complex and performant to what the industry has on ground. (25Gbps vs 1Tbps) The thing that sets it apart is that it's in orbit.

Will they survive?
>>16903059they will live long and prosper
>>16903059briefly
My cope is that Elon thought the parties were simply billionaire networking events and wanted to join in to find investors for SpaceX but after talking with the giga autist, Jeff realized that he wasn't a pedo and probably a risk to exposing them.

>>16902994because the program is dictated by the max amount of money for the minimum amount of work, which means reusing old thingswhether that actually makes sense doesn't matter, the actual mission is an afterthought and after a program gets cancelled, the pork programs just get transmogrified to be used for another mission

>>16903141I don't have time for this lamenting shit clear, we are ALL suffering right now
>>16903050Irrespective of using smaller and smaller data types, modern CPUs/GPUs can operate on ~10 Terabits per second (2GHz*20k Cores*2 ops/cycle), we're nowhere near feeding that much data to a system.Hence you see teams attempt to pull off circus tricks to get the bits to the compute unit. The copper runs at 56GHz around 200Gbps and that's still short of making the compute speed the bottleneck.So you could go to 2 bits if you want, you still have to get those bits across the wires.

>>16903431is ESGhound still alive? wasn't it thanks to him and his niche tweets that nobody reads that the gubinment decided to conduct a long environmental study in boca chunga, basically grounding starship for months? I still remember how a CNBC article covering his story went mainstream. kek, good times.
>>16903441one of my favorite /sfg/ experiences is watching the environmental community input stream together
>>16903441I think by that time the pernicious environmental stoppages were gaining traction at the tail end of the biden administration Elon was already pumping his body full of redpills like Bane and getting involved in the upcoming presidential election, and Trump won and starbase has had pretty good luck environmental-wise since then
>>16903442lmao, it was a good day, specially that awoooga guy>favorite /sfg/ experiencesoh boy, i have so many good memories with you cunts kek. the starship streams, the drifting astra rocket, elon's presentations, neuralink and tesla streams, the gypsy ecorocket, the bingo cards, bezos and shatner going to space, nauka, HLS being selected, SLS and Vulcan maiden launch, firefly, tim dodd's spreadsheets, etc etc.
>>16903453>the gypsy ecorocketElaborate.
>>16903454ARCAspace.Gypsies with (stolen) water heaters.
>>16903453starliner fails
>>16903447I still remember being told I was delusional for noticing the environmental slowdowns.
>>16903454it was, uhm, a very strange period in spaceflight history. the ARCA mania might have been short lived, but sincere from the heart, nonetheless. the world wasn't ready for a water-powered rocket. unironically speaking, i used to read their twitter and facebook pages back in 2021, where they'd give regular updates regarding the ecorocket upcoming launch. they did perform some real altitude tests, had some live streams, but they kept postponing the orbital launch for a myriad of reasons, mainly due to the crimea crisis before the russian invasion took place, cause they'd be launching from the black sea. they ended up quietly cancelling it for the time being, promising they'd be back with newer updates. imo even though it all looked like a scam, and they had like a 0.1% chance of achieving something legit, they were just too naĂŻve and inexperienced.>>16903458yeah, i forgot about those damns valves, and iirc the live graph showing how starliner engines were failing one by one? KEK
>>16903461Don’t open this can of worms again brother, I think everyone had some truth to their arguments
>>16902939>Those who have committed serious crimes need to be prosecuted.What about those who have committed unserious crimes?
>>16903468Well for one we can see all the crying about environmental review slow down turned out to be wrong and not the thing slowing them down
>>16903467they eventually came back some time later, in 2022-23, this time promising crypto in space, asteroid mining, and a frankenstein version of OTRAG (picrel). it was quite silly, and it seems that Popescu, basically the romanian elon musk, didn't learn much from his mistakes. anyways, they ended up as the laughing stock of the spaceflight community, again. oh, and don't forget how way before the ecorocket days, the italian space agency blamed them for the failure of ESA's schiaparelli lander, stating that the inertial measurement unit didn't work as properly: https://www.romania-insider.com/romanian-in-conflict-with-italian-space-agency-over-failed-mars-mission. desu i don't really know what they are up these days, but it seems the company still exists.
>The European Commission has commissioned three parallel studies to examine the potential of a mobile responsive launch system capable of rapidly deploying satellites into orbit from non-permanent (mobile) ground platforms.>Under the terms of the contracts, the three studies will be completed over a ten-month period.https://europeanspaceflight.com/eu-awards-three-contracts-for-mobile-responsive-launch-system-studies/
>>16903477>studies to examine the potentialThe Evropean spirit in a nutshell. They'll then conduct some feasibility studies which they will put under some committee, over viewed by a larger committee, which then will be moved into some other safety board, then a regulatory panel, then back into another study, etc etc. bureaucratic limbo.
>>16903477>studiesimagine being european lmao
>>16903473They're raising money for their asteroid mining scam.
>>16903431Right about what. Mr. Thunder thinks reuse is not economical and SpaceX is bleeding money with Falcon 9.
https://spacenews.com/nasa-considering-alternatives-for-gateway-logistics/
>>16903473>Popescu, basically the romanian elon muskif you think that you already have a favorite aerospace ceo, then think again. this guy has basically gypsy superpowers. back in 2017, two years after ARCA began activities in New Mexico, he was arrested in the US on multiple criminal charges, basically 19 counts, including fraud, embezzlement, and forgery. a year later, he ended up representing HIMSELF in court, where the trial resulted in ALL charges being dropped. Since then, he moved operations back to Romania. oh, and he came up with a flying hoverboard as well.
>>16903479>three parallel studies to examine the potentialat least the three studies have been given the go head by the review board for the potential for potential studies. they even did it in triplicate. its an important landmark.

That report would also include information on milestones achieved and “any cost, schedule, and performance challenges” encountered during development.>Additional reports, due within 90 days of enactment, would require NASA to outline steps it is taking to address those challenges and to help “facilitate the timely availability of human lunar landing capabilities.” The bill would also require NASA to describe any alternative approaches it is considering for crewed lunar landers.

So will the merger with Tesla happen as part of some strange IPO/merger combo event?
https://www.spacex.com/updates#xai-joins-spacexits official
>>16904344SpaceXX
>>16904345nobody knows yet, that is much more complicated and I've seen some pushback from both SpaceX and Tesla investorsand the types of arguments/opinions against I've seen is they don't want to get diluted with the others share, some SpaceX investors think Tesla is a failing company and what I've seen from some Tesla investors is that they don't want to get diluted by SpaceX that just went up like 5x in the last few years when Tesla has been flat for 5 years and is just about to go up, a merge would perhaps slow that downbut who knows what the majority opinion is or the opinion of institutions that are invested in TeslaI would probably prefer the merger instead of having to divest some Tesla to buy SpaceX when/if it IPOsbut one scenario I've seen is that the merge would only happen after the IPO after the public markets have had the chance to do some price discovery

So, after Flight 12, they'll stick with that design to start launching V3 Starlink, practice orbital refueling, and expedite HLS? V4 will be refined slowly, as V3 takes priority in production down in Starbase, and until Florida gigabay is complete hopefully by the end of the year?
SpaceX snipers were responsible for the leak.
>>16904367yes
>>16904367No, spacex is over.
>>16904367more realistically v3 is fucked up and then they say all the promises will come true in v4 this time.
>>16904367>>16904369after Florida gigabay is shitting out a bunch of ships and boosters and they are launching regularly from the cape, I don't think they will start doing v4 but after that is the case then starbase can go back to being the development and test centerstill a bunch of launches and development to do to get v3 stable as well, so v4 is pretty far away
>>16904372this. and when v4 ends up underperforming, v5 will be the solution.

>>16904382probably
>>16904382It should IPO for less than what SpaceX is worth..
grok 4.2 should be coming out in a few weeks, grok 5 in a few months
>>16904381who tf are berkshireannehathaway and how much do they launch to LEO?
I would imagine SpaceX waits to show a few successful Starship launches before IPOing, perhaps even deploying some starlinks and also now wait for grok 5 to come out first as there is a possibility is the SOTA model when it comes outthough it would need to be clearly better than everything and not just slightly for people to care much I thinkmacrohard and their project to make a "virtual human" to basically do computer work is I think a bit further away so probably doesn't make sense to wait to IPO for that

>>16904353>>16904346Looking forward to all the "orbital data centers won't work" crowd becoming the new "reuse won't work" crowd.
>>16904404>I'm not sure if they actually go into these companies and try to influence their day to day businessThey do. Buffet is famously very activist, and much more than a stock picker.

>>16904428bruh, starshit isn't even getting to a stable orbit this year, I'd be willing to bet on that. Now imagine how much it would take to get just one starshit to orbit, and keep in mind it won't have the fuel to escape earth's gravity and go to mars, so you have to send up a bunch of other starshits loaded with fuel and then pray you can re-fuel the rocket in orbit, something never done before in human history, likely very dangerous moving these volatile pressurized gasses from one tank to another hoping nothing possibly goes wrong, and keep in mind you have to do it like a dozen times to fill up the tank just to get enough fuel to get the rocket to Mars, and then remember that you need multiple starships to get to mars to bring enough shit for humans to survive, and nothing can go wrong in this entire morbidly complex process of launching rocket after rocket after rocket after rocket to get all the fuel in orbit and fuel up the starships and then have them all depart to mars and have nothing go wrong in transit in a completely untested scenario. It's like going to the moon on steroidsOh, and they haven't even built / tested a crew compartment yet, can you imagine how many iterations they will have to go through in testing to make sure that it's going to work for a 3+ month journey, nevermind be livable on mars in subzero temperatures and a dusty / windy / frigid environment, this entire endeavor is complete and utter delusion. The way to do something like this is baby steps, you test one thing at a time and perfect it and then move on to the next step, Spacex is whollly incapable of doing any of the shit they promise.

>In an email to SpaceX employees on Monday, Musk said Starship will begin launching V3 Starlink satellites into orbit this year, as well as the next generation of direct-to-mobile satellites. The launches, he said, will be a “forcing function” to improve the performance of Starship, making it more rapidly reusable for data center deployment.>“The sheer number of satellites that will be needed for space-based data centers will push Starship to even greater heights,” Musk wrote. “With launches every hour carrying 200 tons per flight, Starship will deliver millions of tons to orbit and beyond per year, enabling an exciting future where humanity is out exploring amongst the stars.”>“My estimate is that within 2 to 3 years, the lowest cost way to generate AI compute will be in space,” Musk wrote.https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/spacex-acquires-xai-plans-1-million-satellite-constellation-to-power-it/

>>16904447it's officially confirmed that mars is no longer a priority for spacex>But acquiring an AI company, and putting so much effort into orbital data centers? Is this consistent with the Mars mission? Musk clearly thinks it is.>“While launching AI satellites from Earth is the immediate focus, Starship’s capabilities will also enable operations on other worlds,” he wrote. “Thanks to advancements like in-space propellant transfer, Starship will be capable of landing massive amounts of cargo on the Moon. Once there, it will be possible to establish a permanent presence for scientific and manufacturing pursuits. Factories on the Moon can take advantage of lunar resources to manufacture satellites and deploy them further into space.”>And from there, he said, Mars will be firmly on the horizon.>“The capabilities we unlock by making space-based data centers a reality will fund and enable self-growing bases on the Moon, an entire civilization on Mars and ultimately expansion to the Universe,” he wrote.

>>16904455NTA but the singular reason it makes any sense at all is not on technical merits but political/socioeconomic merits.Space is free real estate, there is almost no one that can tell you no you can't build that.On earth you have to deal with like 3 different layers of government and tens if not hundreds of people who automatically oppose any type of industrial development. With the US in particular, there is so much bureaucracy and opposition it takes years before you can break ground.If you ever been in /sfg/ for long enough you would be aware of all the shit going on with Starship development with retarded environmental reviews about beetles and lawsuits around dumping freshwater in an aera that regularly floodsThat's not just because it's a launch site, Literally every single bit of development in the US goes through the same shit including datacenters.So just build the DCs in space.

I've updated my thesis now.SpaceX will now create a AI data center that can launch from the Moon and later Mars for sovereign AI that cannot be blocked by any territorial powers. SpaceX will dominate the space and the solar system in the not too distant future.
>>16904618The AI will beam the word "NIGGER" on all frequencies directly to Earth, without respite
>>16904455Who's closet? Dumbass. NIMBY regulations, partisan politics and populist politics will kill AI data centers on land and make it astronomically expensive in terms of timeline and cost. AI data centers will become the new nuclear power plants where it will take 20+ years to build 1. Democrats have been pushing anti-AI hard because Musk is involved in OpenAI and xAI. So the next best thing is space based. The question I have is will their current launch capacity be enough? I dont think so, so the question is how easy it will be to expand future launch sites.
>>16904626I think he's pretty serious about putting a factory and launch complex on the moon.
>>16904626And further more, I think Musk has plans for lunar and Mars base as a mechanism to counter the limitations of the launch rate on Earth themselves should Earth gov prove to be hostile to launches. So they will launch from the moon for their realized dream of millions of satellites in space each carrying Tesla chip for AI training and inference using the sun as the constant free power source.
Artemis II is going to crash and burn and NASA will finally be shut down.

>>1690465499% of people are slops, you included, for 99% of the time
>>16904829Including power supply, and the time to build more.

>>16904850>maybe next year>maybe >ElonAt least 2 years away?

>>16904862thats crazy
>>16904822they are going to tip this fuck huge and heavy asu part today. the investment is real, lets see if it pays off
>>16904865the payoff is less trucks coming in and out, in the short term the actual propellant cost is so low this doesn't really matter thereso I think this is just mainly about removing one blocker for higher cadence
>few people are willing to pay to go to orbitwill the moon command a bigger demand?

>>16904880this has nothing to do with spaceflight in the slightest
>>16904850ok no Artemis III landing, got it
>>16904863When Musk names a timeline, it's not an estimate or even a target, it's more like in a hypothetical world where there are never problems and everything just works out. So it's like if I said damn it would be cool if I had ten million dollars
