Apparently there was an accident at Starbase on Friday morning. Possibly someone dead. This is unconfirmed.
>>16977604This is fake btwStupid EDS
>>16977605NSF or labpadre would have immediately made a big deal out of it, if it were true. NSF especially, they like to content farm.
>>16977604>astroturfers still doing this shitEven if it was real, wtf is the point of this post? Yes, workplace accidents happen, it’s a fact of life, but of course these guys get paid to shill so now it’s supposedly a sign of how le evil spacex is again.
>>16977603Yeah, the other one.
>>16977613Based and correct
>>16977605Probably yeah
Dude you are fucking same fagging to win le epic thread war you are worse than making the thread at page 9
>>16977635What? You need to take your meds dude
>>16977590This webm won’t load for some reason.
this thread was made laterreal thread:>>16977529>>16977529>>16977529
>>16977649Shitty AIslop thread though, this is the real one, i followed the post in that thread that showed me to this non-AIslop one.
>>16977651>>16977649>>16977642>>16977638All the same person
>>16977651no you didn't, retarded EDS troll.
>>16977652Nope, it’s not not gonna bother to screenshot for you but you need to take your meds.
>>16977652yep it's all megood job figuring out the case, detective
>>16977653Uh oh, looks like someone’s having a melty because people don’t like his shitty AIslop.
>3/4 of the last thread was one guy baiting at least 10 othersShit is so tiresome. Can you retards know when not to engage with very obvious disingenuous arguments?
>>16977668No, it was one pretend-retard humiliating himself for approximately 6 hours straight, i really wonder what he thought he was going to accomplish by constantly trying to convince everyone he wasn’t mad. Dude got counter-baited by the whole thread.
How many interstellar objects has the Rubin Vera Observatory discovered so far? I was promised 1 every month or something.
>>16977674Their primary survey hasn’t actually started yet, so only a comet they accidentally found during preliminary tests, sorry.How much did that thing cost to build? Should just have more space based telescopes.
>>16977661What do you think sports will look like in a zero-G environment? I remember people talking about it briefly a long time ago. But imagine the rules and arena’s you could build in a massive football stadium sized non-rotating habitat. The possibilities for play would be endless.
Kek the guy who made the AIslop thread is freaking out because nobody wants to discuss anything there, he keeps trying to samefag but it’s just not working.
>>16977685Okay faggot you won the thread war by samefagging just as much on this thread, but just know, you just bringed arca posting back and no thread will be usable for weeks and its your fault see ya tommorow
How would a ballgame be played in zero-g?Maybe you could have ropes tensioned and suspended throughout the arena that people can hang onto and swing themselves off of to gain momentum, imagine the mid-air intercepts people would make to steal the ball after it’s thrown, would be pretty sick.>>16977686What?
>>16977686>i am going to sperg out because people don’t like my shitty AIslop threadKek, AIsloppers are such retards.
>>16977687People could also swing off one another, you could have a guy rotating on a rope who then throws another guy with greater speed.you could spin and let go of eachother to change course in mid air. Maybe at high enough speed you could also somewhat steer using aerodynamics.
>>16977684unlikely that there will be any special made zones for recreational sports. Just like irl, it will develop naturally according to economic and habitat constraints. The massive lowG/0G arenas will only come during the late stage of colonization.>>16977685>>16977688stay mad, spergy
>>16977690Sorry, but only one of those posts is mine, AIslop sperg, you really gotta calm down and take your lithium, why are you so mad? and why do you keep talking into thin air?
>>16977611in a way i almost admire their grift.
>>16977652you sound absolutely deranged.
>>16977677I think for survey telescopes ground based ones are superior. Just the computation and infrastructure required to deal with that much data are a lot of weight and a lot of maintenance, it would be much more expensive in space and I don't think the better picture quality because of no atmosphere would be worth it considering its task.
>>16977700i agree, but to be fair, IF the whole in-space compute shit works out (which i have serious doubts about) telescopes could piggyback off that as well to process all that data.
>>16977704do they clean off soot near the welds for inspections or have they stopped doing that?
>>16977585i honestly prefer fairings that don't extend beyond the width of the rocket body itself.
Now that the lunar dust has settled, can we admit that Artemis is a complete and utter failure through and through?
>>16977717yeah because moon shartship never ever
>>16977717as a program? not quite yet, though it certainly is dissapointing that things are taking so long.SLS however is an utter failure because from the start it was never going to facilitate the main objectives of artemis due to things intrinsic in it's design, they should have never cancelled the lander that came with it.
>>16977712Why, apart from your specific autism?
>>16977723gross, this is like a woman with a fupa
>>16977723it just looks better, i always end up building far too large a first stage for my payload in KSP because i just hate when the payload just barely doesn't fit inside the profile of the smaller tank and i have to make a slightly chode shaped rocket to fix it.
A launch is coming so I return to /sfg/ for SPEHS!
>>16977729welcome back, impeccable timing, you just missed last thread's massive baittard spergout.
>we will get our first views of starship in spaceBased
>>16977731this may be one of my favourite ground perspectives of the launch man, that beautiful green foreground really completes it.
>>16977690What is the bubble top for? It’s not going to rain
>>16977735to protect them from athletes that have fallen ill with lunacy.
>>16977702Why dark visors and not reflecting ones like astronauts use? Cost?
>>16977739it's because they're not used for the same purpose.the dark visor absorbs light and reduces glare, a reflecting visor would bounce light around the cockpit windows and not alleviate the problem.the visors that are used in space use a reflective foil because they're used in EVA and along with reducing glare, their main goal is actually to keep the astronauts cool by reflecting infrared light away from the user's face.
>>16977735this isn't for his protectionhe's on bean-heavy diet
>>16977742it's so his farts don't launch him into deep space?
we are this close to flight 12
>>16977729cor, would you look at the tanks on that. absolutely x-15 rated
>>16977729i want one.
>>16977729Does this count as a spaceplane?
>>16977755technically yes
>>16977755it broke the karman line so yeah.
>>16977757Only exosphere and beyond count as space. The ISS flies through the upper atmosphere
reminder that X-15 is a spaceplane because it has wings and starship is not a spaceplane because it has no wings.
>>16977769no, you're wrong, the point where centrifugal force contributes more to keeping a fast object at altitude than lift is where space begins, which happens to be near the karman line.
I bet I could be a spaceplane if you threw me hard enough
>>16977770flaps are wings
>>16977773they aren't.
Starship will succeed and losers will seethe.
>>16977776you cant flap without wings therefore flaps are wings
>>16977780flaps are not built for flapping, they are built for attitude control. they're more like arms. starship is a spacediver not a spaceplane.
>>16977781those flaps can generate plenty of lift if they feel like it, without even flapping. they are wings.
>>16977778this is true. they will double and triple down for the rest of their sad little lives because to admit they were wrong would be extremely painful. eds is a terrible disease
>>16977735because it's scifi and it's cool
>>16977776im so sick of the tile meme
>>16977788doesn't matter, elon's white, it's the brown people that are the problem.
Why does regenerative cooling work for nozzles but not for bellies of starships
>>16977798What if you just made an ablative blanket material instead
>>16977807wheres all the heat going to go?
>>16977811just invent a new metal that doesnt care about puny reentry temps.
>>16977807The liquid propellants used for regenerative cooling get dumped overboard as thrust. There's nothing to dump overboard for heat shield cooling and they don't have enough lift capacity to carry it.
>>16977671You claim he was pretending to be retarded. But would someone who wasn't retarded spend a whole day pretending to be retarded and arguing with himself on an extremely low volume thread?There's no positive evidence for the non-retard hypothesis. In fact the nature of the hypothetical performative retardation structurally excludes positive evidence of intelligence.The retard hypothesis is more parsimonious and is a better explanation for the facts. In contrast the non-retard hypothesis is arguably unfalsifiable. In other words, while we cannot strictly eliminate the non-retard hypothesis, there's no reason to believe it.
>>16977807it works for both, it's a question of mass.spacex did trade studies for different methods of cooling and decided to go for tiles.
hey all, pretend-retard hereso basically I wasn't pretending at all. I do actually have diagnosed retardation. Hope ya'll are understanding and thanks for occupying me, I feel really lonely.
>>16977818well, no, it does the opposite, because someone who pretends to be dumb for attention is more often than not, too stupid to get that in a different, easier, and more efficient way. pretending to be retarded is merely a sign of a different form of retardation.
>>16977821you're not clinically retarded per-se, you're just developmentally stunted. the outcome is equally as depressing though.
>>16977824so you think you know more than my psychologist? Can you show us your credentials?yeah, that's what I thought. Sit the fuck down kid.
>>16977826you're trying to hide behind a smug facade but it's just not working at all, you got bootyblasted last thread lmao.
>>16977827yeah I'm coping and seething rn no capyou got me good
>>16977820>>16977807yeah everyday astronaut asked about this on one of the starbase tours and brought up stoke, Musk just said there are many ways to skin a cat and tiles turned out to be best on their tradesI guess they could pivot later to regenerative coolingand I'm pretty sure they did some tests on some of the test flights, doing it on some hotspots or something? (like on the edge of the flaps or something)
>>16977604Good riddance.
>>16977828>n-no i'm smug i'm smug I'M SMUG I'M SMUGwhy is it that angry people like you always do this when you're cornered?you're responding to me, nigga, you have something to prove lmao.
>>16977788If Elon abused crack instead of ketamine he'd be singing a different tune.
>>16977829it would be a pain in the ass, but they probably could pivot to regen cooling or even transpiration cooling in certain areas if it proves to be necessary.
>>16977835yeah I do, can you guess it?
>>16977812into the fluid
>>16977846and compared to a fully fueled booster, how much fluid is there on a starship during reentry?
>>16977843well there's no guessing game, you just keep trying desperately to give off the impression that you don't care while constantly responding every single time. you are angry and care lol, so none of the bravado you try to show really has any effect.
>>16977850I will.
>>16977854aint no way this is real
>>16977855I am.
>>16977854why don't they just stack a few boosters and climb to space?is elong stupid?

watch muskrats have a melty in 3... 2... 1...
>>16977858fuck ozonesheep can get cataracts for all I care
>>16977858nobody outside terminally online anti-musk circles watches these people lolevery 6 months there’s another>THIS IS THE END FOR ELON>SPACEX DOOMED>STARLINK COLLAPSINGthis is just the latest pretext for more bureaucratic lawfare because certain governments realized they let one autistic billionaire accidentally become critical infrastructure
theres nothing going on today
lol this everyday astronaut is really aimed at turbo normies
>>16977852>n-no i d-didn't readyou're still responding kek, you just can't help yourself.
>>16977862I didn't know that Anton was anti-musk.
>>16977858they already tried this metoditchka a few years ago.

>>16977868Disgusting that they just dump all that dihydrogen monoxide on the pristine wildlife preserve like that. I heard that stuff kills you if you get it in your lungs.
>>16977865so you can't answer?
>>16977873your posts are pure gibberish, there's nothing to answer, i'm just poking you to see what comes out, and you can't help yourself.
multistage rockets are a polish invention https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kazimierz_Siemienowicz#Artis_Magnae_Artilleriae
FUCK>SpaceX's Flight 12 web page is now stating May 20th as the launch date just above the title:>https://www.spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-12>The first line of the main text does though still states "as soon as Tuesday, May 19">NextSpaceFlight.com have also updated to May 20th:>https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/8002/
>>16977884AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA*cries*
>>16977884I hope they delay it until the 21st
>>16977884LMAO AT MUSKRATSITS GONNA LAUNCH IN JUNE
>>16977882Turns out Poland could into space after all.
>rocket gets delayed 1 day>autistic spergs instantly start doompostingkek
this is just the latest in a series of delays. expect more delays too.
dont expect the delays now though because they will delay the delays
>>16977892>1 day>xe doesn't know
TWO DELAYS
how many weeks until blastoff!?
Which spess yt channel has the most technical, in depth coverage?
>>16977888Trips confirm.Fuck.
>>16977858Turns out the secret is to design the network better. Pic very much related.
>>16977899nsf
>>16977862MIGA detected
>>16977849v4 fixes this
Cancel Starship.
>>16977884Two more weeks divided by four
>>16977841>they probably could pivotclassic cope. Same kind of cope people would have said during the early shuttle program if they had /sfg/. They will not pivot for the same reason they won't suddenly increase the diameter of the ship.
They will keep delaying it forever. Flight 12 will never ever launch. Muskrat should be locked up.
>>16977884Wikipedia entry just got update too lol
>so i told him to just wait two more weeks
>>16977923everything about her is repulsive. Yet tards have no standards and will simp forever.
>>16977821
>>16977923Wtf happened to her
>>16977927food
>>16977923nice vineers
>>16977926this kills the muskrat
>>16977926Starship has to take the world record (if you don't count cancelled programs)
>>16977931They will claim that SpaceX is still 10 years ahead of the competition, and "reaching orbit" is a pointless and arbitrary milestone anyway.
maybe the real starship was the friends we made along the way
>>16977935>10 years ahead of the competitionBit of an outdated cope considering a rival has an objectively superior reusable booster to falcon 9 in service now.
>>16977884DO NOT check this week's weather forecast for Starbase.
OH NO NO NO
>>16977944If Biden was president Muskjeets would be blaming HAARP right now
>>16977944Texas is roight fucked for the next week+
>>16977944Is the vehicle ok sitting on the pad during a thunderstorm?
>>16977951I’d worry more about the drone that will blow it up when it’s fully fuelled on the pad
>>16977926>cut off second stage 2 seconds later than previous flights>le success according>we did it redditI want to strangle these retards
>>16977953>another case of muskrat pretending to be retarded by purposefully misunderstanding the difference between orbit capable and incapable vehiclesyou'll get it one day, lil bro
>>16977945The clouds are paid actors working for Soros
tick tock-2 + two days, muskratsbetter prepare your cope for when shartslip inevitably gets delayed until june
>>16977944NET June 1st
>>16977944>>16977946>uncomfortably warm>excessive humidity>constantly shifting clouds/wind/rain>hail/tornadoes to guarantee your insurance goes up again>mosquitoes everywhereGod damnit the weather here is such absolute garbage in April/May. Supposedly more people are depressed this time of year but really it's just the weather sucks ass. You'll still hear retards talk about how great it is because of the 3 or 4 nice days and ignore the 56 days of swamp weather thousands in property damage from hail and tornadoes.
>>16977959>inevitably gets delayed until juneoh no two more weeks when people were talking about feb/march months ago
>>16977871if that was me I'd sue Elon for 100,000,000,000,000 dollars + emotional distress
>>16977935well, it's not really a claim, technologically, spacex is absolutely 10 years ahead of the competition.>reaching orbit is a pointless and arbitrary milestonefor their testing campaign of a prototype rocket? yes, correct, good you picked up on that.
>>16977868>>16977869Where is ESGHound?
>>16977944UNDEFEATED
>>16977963two more weeks until it gets delayed until july, yes. I'm glad we're finally on the same wavelength!

While the entire industry obsessed over conservative iteration, ARCA kept throwing out insane concepts — SSTO rockets, aerospike engines, water-assisted launch systems, stratospheric launch ideas — like they genuinely believed the future should look like classic sci-fi covers. People mock them because the ambitions sound absurd, but aerospace history is literally built on people sounding absurd right up until the moment they work. Even when larger companies had billions in funding and government contracts, ARCA Space still managed to stay culturally relevant among space enthusiasts purely through raw imagination and audacity. They don’t feel like a sterile defense contractor; they feel like the last remnants of the old “space is supposed to be crazy” era. In an industry increasingly dominated by spreadsheets and risk management, ARCA’s biggest achievement might honestly be reminding people that ambition itself still matters.
>>16977951It didn't destroy SLS, but it's still not a nice thing to do.

>>16977980yes they are, they have demonstrably worked multiple times and so has the rest of the shipso much so that they purposefully remove tiles to test other systems, redundancy, more aggressive re-entry angles and so on
>>16977841>>16977829I keep coming back to the idea of a hybrid system for critical areas using a thermocouple driven EMF shield powered by re-entry heat. Such a system would passively adapt to heat load conditions.

>>16978040oh man kek. even for me as a doubter the timeline of future steps feels like it will go much quicker than what we've seen. But basedon past performance it's reasonable to think every step to come will be much harder and take longer than anticipated. In an extreme case Artemis gets cancelled and SpaceX quietly abandons refuelling just like how they abandonned propulsive landing of dragon. then the ThunderF00t prophecy is fulfilled and Starship takes it's rightful place as the LEO bus.

the number of launches doesn't matter if the launches are cheap as fuck and the cadence is high

Have any of you limp wristed faggots ever actually been on a large-scale construction site? Starbase has heavy industry that runs 24/7 and they’ve been doing it for years and years at this point - with cowboy engineering. There’s going to be injury. There is going to be the potential for death. The truth is, this isn’t surprising.Any industrial site that claims a 100% safety record is either sweeping moderate-to-serious incidentals under the rug, or is moving so fucking slow that they require 8 meetings and seventeen power point presentations just to agree to fix the local break room coffee machine. The last job I worked on had an excavator bucket fall on a guy’s leg and half a rebar structure collapse on a crew.

>>16978177B- But I was told by the Musk obsessed tranny in /sfg/ that it wasnt true!
>>16978181And that's not good. Workplace culture should not accept loads of injuries and deaths just because the worker's lives are cheap.

New Glenn has that terrifying “final boss rocket” silhouette too — enormous reusable booster, giant payload fairing, dark blue aesthetic like it was designed by someone whose only instruction was “make it look expensive.” Blue Origin’s whole vibe is less startup chaos and more “19th century railroad tycoon but for cislunar space.” Slow? Sure.

>>16978131arca's asparagus is wider than it is tall. it's inherently unstable and doesn't have thrust vectoring to stabilize it. the fact that it could never achieve orbit is irrelevant because it can't fly in the first place.
>>16977970They were truly ambitious with their fashion line
>>16978200HOLY BASED
>>16978200The Romania woman distracts you as her three brothers steal your automobile
>>16978213>Dude, where's my rocket?
i miss artemis 2 so much bros
>>16978217Not to be confused with artemis II
>>16978219is there even gonna be an Artemis X?
>>16978217The future mars program?
>>16978148They're being cautiousWhich is a good idea because this is the biggest thing ever put into orbit, and it's a fucking tank at that, kinda don't want that coming down uncontrolled
>Antimatter propulsion still only 40% LightspeedNoooo nooo FUCK
Sigh, I miss having anime-antianime wars over this retarded AI bullshit spam/retarded ragebaitingThread quality is truly in the shitter
>>16978226I didnt wanted to do it
>>16978224it's all relative. From your clock you will be fine. Just don't expect to come back home to friends or family back on e*rth
>>16978229your dad said something similar
>>16978224this, how about instead of the crew experiencing 1g of acceleration for a year we really get the ball rolling with them doing 12g for a month?
Long time since I've posted here or even used 4chan so wtf is up with this new captcha? It's so tedious. Feels like they're just making them more and more annoying so you end up paying for a subscription.
>>16978237it takes two seconds my man
>>16978238You clearly a newfag
Member when there were rumors about Arecibo perhaps being old and unstable and one day it just fucking collapsed
>>16978240Yeah :(
>>16978181I work a dangerous job because our dickhead boss refuses to buy us safety equipment that would slow us down, and there hasn't been a serious injury in years. I haven't hurt myself the entire time I've been there, for the primary reason that I treat everything like it's going to kill me.

Integrated Flight Test sounded cooler
>>16978161We do, actually, it’s very high cadence and very cheap for a rocket it’s size, he’s right.

You are only motivating me more its gonna be weeks>mild disturbance
>>16978258>y-you are only motivating me more>n-no i’m scawy, i-i’m a scawy copypasta spammerHoly crap, your life truly is in the shitter, isn’t it?
>>16978261U cant say shit dude you spend just as much time trying to win le epic thread war by samefagging and following the hecking page 10 law Now every thread its gonna be spammed every day for 2 weeks
>>16978263What???Nigger what the fuck are you talking about.Brother if you’re going to sperg out like a little bitch over some schizo delusions, at least don’t further humiliate yourself by accusing random people of causing your hurt feefee’s LMAO.
>>16978240yeah RIP Arecibo, it's sad to see an engineering feat like that go in such a lame way

Just letting you guys know we are on the golden age of deep ocean exploration
>>16978309I always knew Starship was a space submarine
>>16978313It's designed to explore the Indian ocean
Did you know that the Sun is actually a terribly inefficient nuclear reactor? its power output per cubic meter can only power a desk lamp. Its gravity traps hydrogen atoms, allowing them to break the Coulomb barrier at far lower temperatures than expected.
>>16978036Looks like the planet got an ER and that above it looks suspiciously like a Golgi apparatus ...
>>16978313>>16978314Just saying it cause we are in the golden in both and some fuckers told me i was too old for one and too young for the other
whats everyones favorite soviet rocket?
>>16978321Proton. It does the best air shows.
wen launch?
>>16978326Two more days
>>16978320It's too bad that ocean exploration is just looking for a sea floor with mineral deposits to extract
>>16978326march
>>16978321UR-700A, powered by FFSC HYPERGOLIC engines on the first and second stages and a nuclear thermal upper stage.
