All boards, report in with a GO/NO-GO for launch-

>>16982539100b is the best I can do
>>16982539buying every dip
I realize this isn't the actual tank bulkhead/thrust puck or whatever you wanna call it but this still looks so fucking sketchy even if it's just a protective cover. Also from the way the TVC actuators go through it it looks like it forms a pocket with the actual bulkhead which judging from previous flights and the lack of CO2 fire suppression is just begging to fill up with flammable gasses and explode. They probably know what they are doing though.
>>16982547>They probably know what they are doing.
>>16982547The engines don't have leaky flange seals anymore.
>>16982517stop gambling retard.

>>16982671
>>16982666https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Figures#Historical_accuracy>multiple pages longthere's a lot of horseshit and probably more that people have simply been too afraid to call out lol.naturally, one of the few historical inaccuracies in the movie that actually pissed nogs off was one of the white people acting like a "good person" and removing the no blacks toilet sign, as it made white people look too good and they wanted them to look more evil.i've seen the movie btw, it's not very interesting and 90% of it is the fake imaginated part of the story where the white people were super autistic about her not being able to go to a segregated bathroom that was closer to where she worked, even though that part was entirely made up.my guess is they waited to make this until after most of the people involved in apollo were dead, suffering dementia, or too old and tired to bother disputing the horseshit, i'm sure there were some black calculators, but as always reality is substituted with fiction because otherwise it would make black people feel inadequate.
>>16982666Did this really happen? Sassy nig parade
>>16982677thanks for showing me this, i'm going to substitute this with text as well so that it is also two women as part of a harem rather than lesbianism.two girls shlicking it to prepare for their beloved man is alright, lesbianism is wrong.

>>16982669Anon, every failure is a lesson, we only need about 100 more lessons to learn and we'll be on Mars in 50 years! Trust the plan, trust Musk!
Do they actually show the fucking rocket at some point? I put the livestream on the break room TV at work and it's literally just musk shilling crypto for the last half hour. This is embarrassing.

>>16982714nobody cares about him, buy an ad.
Which useless celebrity will bomb the stream and curse the launch today?

It's the 67 guy.
haven't messed with the heat shield this timealso 2 dummylinks with cameras, first time the starship will be seen from 3rd person perspective in space
The Mexican zoomer is the only guy there that looks healthy
what's so special about this rocket? it just looks like a waste of money
The connection now is better? Crisp
>>16982868is this a Taiwanese TV news report CGI reconstruction?>>16982864oh baby I have stuff more pretentious than Steve. I love like, Music On a Long Thin Wire
the recovery group are in international waters, so who do they appeal to if boats are in the range and refuse to leave? should the recovery team have artillery to prevent sabotage?

Another celeb guest. Stick to the pros.
Are they wearing their Van Alan belts in the studio?
>>16982890Because it's pre-dawn over there right now and yesterday they were talking to the recovery crew almost an hour later
>>16982890Time is a cube
>>16982902yeah, maybe not as good as at the peak
he must've landed at BRO right after this >>16982701 and speedran to starbase
Launch has been blessed by Administrator Issacman. I believe
>>16982531/tg/ reporting
Isacman looks like an auschwitz guest. I guess he has to go hard on weight loss because of being an astronaut and stuff.
Does anyone know if she's gonna be streaming the launch?Hearing her die inside yesterday when it got scrubbed made me laugh pretty hard, but idk if she decided to skip this one

I WAS HERE
look at that view
one engine kill
>one engine shut downowari da...
>Engine outuh-oh
2 TRILLION IPO2 TRILLION IPO2 TRILLION IPOthat engine is a traitor
Has there been a single launch where there wasn't an engine failure?
>that cutoff sequenceHoly
YES
Uh oh
>>16983009oh gawd, let's see that stage separation you dirty bitch. separate it wide
boost out of control lmao
BOOSTER IS FUCKED
Booster is kill.
booster might be fucked
FUCKS SAKEEEEEEE IT'S OVER FUCKKKKKKKKKK
ENGINE LOST
>rvac out
RIP booster.No sugarcoating this.
it's over
>ship has engine out capabilityfucking finally!
FUCK YOU ELON
Kaboom
its over
Fuck my life.
>12th flight>booster failed on boostback>engine failed on StarshipHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHThunderCHADS won once again
LOOK OUT BELOW
Booster is fine. It's meant to do that. It'll land perfectly in a second.
Embarrassing ngl, just roll it back to v1
so this is the power of the new and improved v3 engine...
Upper stage fucked as well.
THUNDER CHADS ARE IN CONTROL
but booster was the easy part, V2 had great success with it.... boooooo
EVERY SCREENS GONE RED!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!
This doesn't look good
>one out of six engines failed>but it's ok goys we just make the other engines run at 120% thrust to compensate>fully reusable btw
Garbage fucking raptor engines
its over...
STOP FUCKING SPINNING YOU STUPID FUCK
come on you fucking V3nigger, dont die on us
So is Super Heavy just spinning out of control now?
THIS IS WHY WE TEST *CLAP*
does ship need that dead engine for the landing burn?
I think we're going to get some crazy reentry kino on that booster
>>16983080no
Imagine being that chink fella who will have to actually get on this thing
It's over....
SUPERSONIC SPLASH DOWN HOLY FUCK
rip booster
he's gonna be smug as fuck.
The camera views are at least seem much better
SPEEEEEEEENNNNNN
>speed 1400km/h>altitude 0km
that looked like my first attempt at a mun landing in kerbalpathetic
Oh maan. Disappointing.
>>16983069>we just make the other engines run at 120% thrust to compensate>Roger, go at throttle up
KABLOOEY
THE FINAL SURVIVOR
yikes and oof
>V2Temu Raptors.
raptor sucks
full high resolution throughout the entire launch is fucking insanely kino
not again elon
>>16983062completely new booster with new engines
LEWD!
ITS BURNING AAAAHHH
OOF
>>16983063>It all returns to nothing>It just keeps tumbling down>Tumbling down, tumbling down
one suicide burn hold the burn
-99999 izzat
is the dead rvac the one pissing fuel?
it's gonna be way too short of orbital velocity
Even garbage found in a Kerbal's backyard has better reliability.
looking awfully blue in the engine bay
Should it be venting like this?
we're heating up!
fire in the engine bay :)
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BOOSTER PUNCHED THROUGH THE CLOUDS ON THE S39 CAMERA
KKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
the best landing is no landing
I'M NUCLEAAAAAAAAAAR
turks and caicos bros....
If you missed it
altitude dropping, it's fucked
>SPINNINGITS SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL ON ITS AXIS
v4 fixes this…
SHIPS FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT ANONS SHE GONA MAKE IT
Announcer starting to sound crestfallen on these streams
Embarrassing
>Engines won't cut offHey I've done this on KSP before
This kills the booster.
v5 fixes this
losing control....
>>16983141we just waited 8 months for v3 to fix v2!!!!!
>>16983138was it the rvac on the right (in the engine bay cam)?
That looked a little violent.
Once v6 comes around old space will be finished
Starship is defecting to Cuba!
>>16983119>HOLD>HOLD>HOLD>BUR-*splat*Someone tell Elon to install Kerbal Engineer Redux he completely missed the suicide burn
Glory to LM9Glory to Menghzao
>crowd cheering as shit is falling off of it
elon paid them to cheer
will flap chan make it this time?
At least looking like we'll get some dummy deployment and reentry kino
THAT WAS FUCKING NAILBITING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>16983158Cancel SLSCancel ArtemisDefund NASA fuck this gay earth, let china win, its over
>we definitely got a ship in space right now Holy cope
>>16983162thats just ice, its normal
>>16983152It looked like the wall was damaged next to the one in the back
>>16983167the only nailbiting thing here is if the booster falls on my head
What a shitshow
TAKE THE L MUSKFAG BOZOS
Starship will never be ready
that liftoff looked fast as fuck. does someone have numbers for the acceleration for this and last lunch?
>>16983150SPACEISHARD
So no tower catch on next flight either
Is the booster going to be okay?
When Starship to LEO?
Unf flap flap flap
>>16983182Anon I....
>>16983177v4 will definitely fix all the issues just you wait
damn, even if the booster did not work well, it still "landed". is it just me or the rocket is faster now?
>one engine dead >still achieve trajectory SPACEX will be worth QUADRILLIONS
fuck, worst part about this is it pushes back the first v3 booster catch to flight 14+.
Why don't they just turn left and go straight at the moon? Look how fast and far they've travelled already. Get to the moon in a few minutes and then head back with the gravity assist.
>>16983143They know the whole design isn't feasible, but have to pretend to be enthusiastic. Like North Korea levels of belief.
that's a lot of RCS...
>>16983183reaching orbit is not the goal you retard
>>16983180no chance
>>16983180no cuz S15 is the earliest that could happpen
Bet you boys didn't bet that I could save it did ya?
>>16983190>just trust your life with this thingLol
>>16983189>is it just me or the rocket is faster now?Not just you, that was quick as hell
Why did one booster fail?Has to do with how the fuel behaves at certain temps or with the pipeline design?
That's a lot of compensation from the cold gas thrusters lmfao
>>16983194That's prop venting, not RCS
Fat bitch isn't rotating
JUST WOKE UPWHAT HAPPENED?????
>>16983194Someone in mission control pressed R by mistake
no attitude control. it's over
Was the apogee raised higher than nominally due to the longer burn? I don't remember the previous flights going this high.
>>16983158Glory to the chairman
>>16983143yeah there's like no energy anymorelets give it up for flight test number 13!
>>16983190$SPCXbros...what does this mean for the stock?
>>16983205prop venting from the payload bay?
fuck I missed the launchI though it was much later
>>16983207Elon is a trillionaire
Booster was supposed to be the solid part of the stack.
Shits leaking out the back, there's yer problem
>>16983207raptor3...
>>16983215another trilly for the IPO
>>16983170>150km>not in spaceUhhhhhhhh
>>16983207its not looking good, but starship is a tough bastard so it might actually survive until the end
>>16983207dodger dogs are toast
nominal insertion status?
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>red clouds due to rayleigh scatteringfucking kino
>>16983207Booster hit ocean at mach fuck, one starship engine kill but didn't suicide so we'll see if it explodes in re-entry
>>16983207It's OVER, space is cancelled.
>>16983203the separation was pretty violent. probably just blew out with the big shockwave
TOTAL THUNDERGOD VICTORY
I hope Flap-chan makes it back home
Have you purchased your Fight-12 tumbler yet?
>>16983217Install the NSF app
>>16983228I wouldn't call it that
>>16983219Bet that F9 thick downcoomer had propellant slosh everywhere.
>>16983207They're all dead. Everybody's dead, Dave.
>>16983207unscheduled flyby of mars
damn...
ANOTHER skipped raptor relight
>No engine re-lightThere's no sugar coating this.
>>16983238
>>16983238Sorry I'm saving for the SpaceX IPO
>no mention of landing burnIT'S OVER
I'm guessing the boat won't be in the correct position?
>skipping relight
RIP sign
so wtf happen with the hot staging ? did they just throttle too much ?
>>16983235Lift off was pretty violent too
why are they skiping relight? isn't it a good thing to test?
Thunderf00t will love this.................
They will be skipping the sat test too
COLD GAS ISN'T BLUE WTF IS THAT
12 flights in and the issues are always consistent:>raptor fails>problematic venting
Yaaay payload deployment soon!!!
They could have just made a bigger Falcon 9 and it'd be operational by now.
why are they venting tho?
WE v2 again boys >i wount call it nominal.....>ANON I....
>>16983263ayy lmao
>>16983239I'm not installing some government glowie app

>>16983417In most cases yes? You think France, Poland, Switerzerland, Norway, Finland, Italy etc etc aren't nationalistic as shit?
So its another 6 months before they even start talking about the next launch?
cant beleive spacex got mr beast for the webcast

Flapchan's camera is 480p

Weren't a couple of the dummies supposed to have cameras on them?
plop
>>16983434depends on how the launch pad is, but at least a few months for investigation
>>16983419They'll try to splashdown, hopefully at less than terminal velocity
no views from the stas btw, no refungs idiots.
flapchan's time to shine
>>16983426The in flight entertainment isn’t working saar
>>16983442Yes, but views from them are contingent on signal.
So what happens now?Where are the Starlink cameras?
>>16983434lmao no remember how they launched flight 8 about 2 months after flight 7 blew up?
>So called terrabite per nanosecond communication satellite>can't stream the camera video live
>>16983452
>>16983421That happened well over a year prior. Lend lease only accounted for 2.3% of the Soviet war budget and the vast majority arrived well after the Soviets had already turned the tide of the war. Maybe read some of the works of David Glantz if you're genuinely interested.
>>16983451Ship is spinning so those dummy sats will be spinning too, that could be an issue
Do I have time for a quick goon
>>16983433Those countries are nationalistic only in the gay homoglobo American-approved way, not the pre-WWII way.

for the people watching nsf, did they capture the booster's descent?
Why don't they just take an x-ray of it and fix it?
>>16983457I think it's spinning so that the hotdog sats can see different parts of it
Why is starship showing her belly to the camera? What a slut
>>16983442Yes but they said they weren't going to get a live feed from them. If they did get a worthwhile view, the video will be downloaded and posted online later.

>>16983480Because rockets are cooler than baby-sitting obese cunts and niggers.
>>16983481they aren't saying so it's almost certainly off-target

Isn't it the extra fuel from the relight?
>>16983571I don't think it counts when it explodes in the water
>>16983571It would explode regardless by that logic since every booster that did a water landing, successful or not, eventually exploded in some manner.
>>16983564quiet goy
here comes the light show lads
Bets on how many engines fail to relight
lightshow beginning
Why is that yellow/green?Haven't seen that tint on the re-entry plasma before
priddy can
plasma is so pretty
>>16983581>>16983580It was supposed to do a simulated tower landing. If you dont see the difference you are just coping.
anyone know if they are supposed to be at 100km 45 min in? seems low
results over rhetoric: all 12 starship launches have successfully hit the ocean
Plasma looks different this time
>>16983590Are you genuinely utterly fucking retarded? If you bet on it specifically exploding it obviously will not count if it hits the water too hard. Because that would be the case regardless if it succeeded with the simulated tower landing or not.
>>16983584One is fucked for sure, I'm going with 5
>00:47:47>Starship entryDefinity seems a bit low
>>16983587Nitrogen I think. Same reason for the colors of the aurora.
>>16983587Either they have a hole and some copper is being eaten away at or they're trialling new metallic tile materials
>>16983590I have nothing to cope about, I don't have 7k on it. I just imagine the bet would involve an explosion in the air, otherwise it's extremely vague since it would explode either way
>>16983481I dunno if it can retarget using its cross range capability. They are still doing the s turn so possibly not
going better than v2's inaugural flight, and v1's.
>>16983591Who knows this is a new trajectory.
>>16983597It only uses the three center engines for landing, which had no issues during the ascent.

what a lightshow
why are you retards worried about the big engine not working? they only use the small engines for re-entry
>>16983613That is not the point you utter fucking retard, we're talking entirely in the context of how the bet on polymarket would define as "exploded".
>>16983606>which had no issues during the ascent.Booster utterly failed to boost back
>>16983606Oh right I'm retarded. god willing the one next to the vacuum that blew up wasn't damaged
>>16983613It didn't explode though (until it hit the water)
>>16983620Oh fuck off

>>16983606only 2 of 3 were lit
>>16983613>managed to carry starship to orbit>one engine failed, the rest worked correctlyyou'd be right if this was a mission flight, for test this is nowhere near catastrophic
>>16983627Vac raptors, yes. Center 3 sea level raptors worked all the way.
UH OH
>>16983627All three were lit until the end of the ascent.
>>16983627Yeah, for the VAC engines retard which doesn't relight during reentry.
anyone seen any missing tiles yet?

honestly a great first v3 flight. New tower, new booster, new ship, new hot stage, new deployment mech, it's all new, and we're about to see a probably successful landing of ship after some tough entry tests.

>>16983847Why destroy water? We're made of 99% water. Is it symbolic that they hate humanity?
>>16983840Yes, but it has to explode since it's literally a floating bomb due to the pressurized vessels inside of it and residual fuel. They would send divers out to put explosives on boosters that failed to explode in the past.

Oh dear, the brainless throngs cheering USA at Space X, with the backdrop of yet another failed rocket exploding, and the CEO continues to grift the nation like no one ever before. Ahhh Americans :)
So, total nothingburger failure mission. No in space relight STILL. plus booster failure.

>>16983888No need. I have them replaying in my head just now.
>>16983871They already did relight in a previous flight. They could have lit, they basically weren't allowed to because the one exploding rVac messed up the flight schedule

no shoot they have a vehicle ready by next year lol
>>16983922>this is a new engine buddy. they need to do relight. see you next attemptIt doesn't matter because Musk refuses to advance to ship chopstick landings until everything goes perfectly with V3. Flight 13 was doomed to be a repeat as soon as 12 had an engine light.The goal for flight 13 will be to do the engine relight AND no engines out in one go. You can complete all prerequisites in one flight, they just get fucked over by one new random issue every time and have to try again.

do you think they will post more of the satellite camera footage with the starship in the distance?

>>16983938They literally said it would be a 2 engine landing burn, tranny
>>16983948>>16983949It goes from 2 to 1. Watch the diagram.

>>16983942Why are you seething over tits? I'm sorry your tranny tits aren't that beautiful
>>16983943You can see where the first flame sparks
REMOVE STICKY
It is supposed to go down to one engine at the end of the landing burn, newfag.
>>16983954its getting smacked hard into the wateryou can also see the top blow away and the rest of the ship still stay intact mostly while flames spew out
>>16983944No chance in hell they try a booster landing next time. This is the worst booster performance I think I have seen yet, at least Flight 1 had it spinning end over end without exploding.Ship landings have been so goddamn consistent and accurate (even with an engine out wtf) that I guarantee they could land it on the chopsticks, but they won't because SpaceX doesn't take risks anymore.
>>16983907Well, it's not like they're gonna have a functional version anytime soon (or ever).SLS is now done and proven and literally have nothing to land with because Elon's slacking (or doing it on purpose - only caring about cheap Starlink delivery device and the rest is a scam).
>>16983941i meant the lunar version retard
some engines exploded on boost-back burn, the telemetry is not real-time. Wai is dissecting the moment

>>16983951Yes retard, it always goes down to one engine at the end.
>>16983973Shield looks great. You're crazy.
Holy newfags. The standard procedure for the landing burn is three engines > two engines > one engine > shutoff.They said halfway through the stream that they were going to be testing it with two engines, hence why it went two engines > one engine > shutoff.
>>16983969Descent is what matters for a chopstick landing to not total the tower, not ascent. Musk won't do it. Not until V3 is perfected

>>16984003>nigga really?Yes really. Soon they will be built by AI robots anyway.Or at least that's what billionaires are telling us.
>>16984012because it isn't.
I think people are freaking out about the heat shield too much. Last flight the heat shield came out looking amazing. The only thing that is different is the Kaowool crunch wrap they put as a backup between the tiles. It must have turned into a milky chocolate consistency during reentry and smeared itself over the bottom of the booster. We saw similar patterns on the last flight, except they were from the metallic tiles smearing white over the tiles instead of brown. It probably looks just as good as the last flight underneath all that gooey weirdness.

Salivating at the idea of packing 40+ JASSMs into a starship, or even a few dozen of the new light hypersonics. Could kill an entire carrier group with a single starship.

>>16984041elon is taking over the country and turns it into a supply base for mars
>>16984047kino alert
>>16984035Faggot, a starship carrying JASSMs is conventional. If the chinese wanted to start a nuclear war over their carrier groups getting hit, then it won't matter that we do it more efficiently with a starship instead of a carrier air wing. It could replace bomb trucks entirely.
>>16984053ICBMs can carry conventional weapons. The Russians have used non-nuke MIRVs in IRBMs in Ukraine..
>>16984059I dont give a shit.
>>16984071
>>16984059An ICBM, even if we somehow proved that it was conventional, could not carry a fleet worth of cruise missiles, hang in orbit with them until needed, then blast out of orbit at hypersonic speeds before opening the bay and delivering them to within a few dozen miles. Hell, we could use starships to deliver 80+ tons of glide bombs if the targets are cheap and poorly defended.

>>16984139>Passive-aggressive cynicism and strawmanning won’t help bring about starship’s downfallyou are right. Starship is doing that all by itself.
>>16984189Successful mission overall. Booster completed ascent, boostback was fubar, booster still survived reentry but hit the water at high speed and exploded. One RVAC shut down early on ascent prompting them to skip the engine relight demo. The ship successfully deployed all of its payload, and successfully maneuvered in orbit. The ship made a successful reentry and splashdown.
>>16984192thanks, but this >>16983901 is considered a success?
>>16984196Yes. The mission's successful completion is marked at soft splashdown while vertical. After that, physics takes over. The ship exploding when it tipped over was expected.
>>16983546Yeah came up good, I had faith, watching Boca Chica weather autistically and all the issues yesterday were so minor, the planets were aligned>>16983560Poly counted it as exploded? Market won bro I haven't seen any footage but there's media reports it did, Bloomberg and such. Camera feed cut out at altitude, they should have ground based long range cameras with it somewhere.If it didn't blow up in the sky it completely did hitting the ocean.The market rules were basically guaranteed, "explodes within 60 mins of coming back down to earth" They'd written it for a chopsticks landing, splashdown is always going to explode.
>>16982937reminds me of that scene in fight club. fucking disgusting.
>>16982498Damn I missed it and it actually went up this time. Any cool webms? There's nothing in the /wsg/ space thread.
>>16984284See>>16983901
>>16984295That is pretty cool. Is there any other angle of it actually reigniting though? Or whatever they call it when it turns around and boosts backwards to land.
>>16984297Lmao. I'll tell you that didn't happen this time because it did some fucking crazy shit where it performed its flip for the boost back faster than a gymnast, the burn attempt went haywire, it did a flat belly flop until it got low enough for them to try and reignite the engines for the landing burn (even though that definitely wasn't going to happen) and then it exploded. There is a video clip higher up in the thread of the engines on the diagram going fucking bonkers for a few seconds before just all shutting off.
>>16984196No, there's no point bringing the thing back under power if it's just going to explode anyways. You are losing payload capacity for nothing when you do that.
been arguing with another anon.How many years did it take from inception to flight with the space shuttle?
Do we have an objective assessment of the heat tiles yet?
miss me yet?
>>16984374Depends on how fast and loose or dishonest the person you're arguing with with. '69 if the initial proposal, '74 for construction of Enterprise (which would be the inarguable point of demarcation that they didn't start construction of STS until later). '71 is probably the most "correct" year, so ten years between a frozen(ish) design and successful flight. Starship you can't really make a strong argument for prior for 2019 since they were still going with the tailed design made out of carbon fibre back in 2018 until Elon, in probably the most consequential decision of the whole program did pic related to the tooling. Then the stainless steel testing began the next year.
>>16984190no, it also isn't doing that by itself, stop seething.
Are we waiting for V4 now?
>>16984406Nah. V3 will be the version flying for the foreseeable future.
>>16984406No. They just need to find out what happened on stage separation and if that had anything to do with the RVac explosion. Solve those and this would have been classified as a perfect launch since they could have hit every planned objective. As others have pointed out, the next launch would (will) have had the same profile as this one since Elon wouldn't chance a catch on a singular data point. Come back in two months and see what happens then. If they get the relight, the landings, no engine out, and deployment, then two months after that they might be forced to do an orbital insertion due to their obligations to NASA. If that goes off without an issue, then it'll go back to trying for a catch. Then eventually by then both towers should be fully upgraded (IIRC), which means they can start planning for orbital refueling since everything needed to do it is there.
The earth is flat and stationary. They are never ever leaving this enclosed plane alive and neither are you retarded golems. CGI is all you get in this life, which is more than you deserve anyway.
>>16984414it isn't, stop seething.

It's still stupid to land a high failure chance booster onto critical infrastructure.

And we arent even past the first milestone.
>>16984581It could take another ten years and they'll outpace the mass to orbit of the Shuttle's lifetime in a year. They did the equivalent of 2 orbiter launches today in dummy payloads.
Another worthless StarShit launch. Another upper stage crashed into the ocean. 12th launch and only managed to deploy 20 DUMMY satellites. Billions over budget, decades behind schedule, no path to a workable launch vehicle and a classic victim of diminishing returns thanks to the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, millions of man hours wasted, billions in US tax dollars wasted, countless wildlife destroyed and damaged, and look what your precious Elon Cuck has done.....nothing. He's accomplished nothing and this was another worthless fireworks show for the clapping seals. So what does Elon get for being the biggest liar and biggest failure in human history? He gets a trillion dollars. This is why we can't have nice things, because you all clap like seals while grifters piss in your mouths and steal your wallet. Gargle faggots, it amuses me.
>>16984591may well be true, but other anon was heavily implying that Shuttle development actually took longer and not to worrry. In reality Starship has the most disasterous development record in rocket history not to be cancelled. it isworst by every metric apart from people killed.
>>16984597Not at all. The failures and disasters you are attributing (for the most part) are one-off anomalies that hadn't been seen before because no one has done this before, or are self-inflicted due to an abundance of caution or limitations on reality. I'll give you an example. F9 failed 19 times before they had a successful landing, which was then followed by several failures. If F9's success was wholly dependent on the reuse of the booster, you would be forced to admit that it failed more times than any other rocket development program over a longer period of time. But you won't do that because it's ridiculous. Each time Starship gets into space, they don't go for orbit because... What if they can't get it back down? What if it explodes? What if they lose control? It /possibly/ won't do those things, but you are talking to the same company that had 19 boosters not land on a pad in the ocean on their much simpler project. You want to take those odds? Why don't they go for an RTLS every time? Because they keep changing the design, and they only have the one tower currently. SpaceX knows what happens when a booster or a ship explodes on critical infrastructure: no flights for half a year or more. Are you going to take those odds? What about the whole engine out situation? Yeah, it's a first flight of essentially a new engine that they have no way of testing to the full extent until flight because there's no other way to simulate 33 of the things all screaming hot death next to one another while they fly up to space for a full duration. We're talking about scales of difficulty, risk aversion differences, and overall limitations on the program. If no one gave a fuck if Elon got the single biggest thing ever put into space stuck in LEO, I am sure he'd go for orbit on every launch. If he had a dozen working pads and towers, he'd probably go for RTLS on every launch. If this was a frozen engine design that was extremely mature? It'd be weird if they blew up.
>>16984612The difference is that Falcon 9 was a successful rocket getting things into the orbit while they were fiddling with the booster. Falcon 9 missions weren't failures despite the booster crashing because they got things into orbit which is the point of a rocket. Starship launches are all failures because they achieve nothing except big explosions.
>>16984619>Falcon 9 missions weren't failuresUh-huh.
>>16984619The booster's job is completed on ascent. Anything going wrong after staging doesn't count by this measure. The ship's job is more complicated and they've got a lot of R&D they're trying to get done with reentry control and heat shield development, and they have not made orbit a goal in any flight thus far.
>>16984612I do agree that Starship is doing stuff beyond the typical fire and forget rocket, and that by those metrics the recent flight could be considered a sucess or only partial failure depending on the specifics of the achieved trajectory with an engine out. I would say Starship development is fundamentally different from F9. F9 had a beautiful elegance where it was designed as an expendable rocket, and reuse testing was a bonus done on commercial flights, costing them very little. Starship by comparison NEEDS reuse to work. a Starship where the booster and orbiter are not reusable is an abject failure because it will be too expensive.
>>16984623Again booster landing failures are irrelevant if they are putting commercial satellites into the orbit on schedule and unharmed. Even early Falcon 9 carried commercial loads with good enough reliability for third parties to trust their extremely expensive satellites to them. >>16984624>Anything going wrong after staging doesn't count by this measure.If you are putting things into orbit, which starship isn't doing. Reusable booster is only useful if you are putting things into orbit. Otherwise it's a net negative for the mission because it lowers delta-v.
>>16984630>If you are putting things into orbit, which starship isn't doing. Reusable booster is only useful if you are putting things into orbit. Otherwise it's a net negative for the mission because it lowers delta-v.It lowers delta-V on Falcon during its R&D program too. Starship met its payload and trajectory goals, in spite of an engine-out on both stages. In regards to Delta-V costs, they are no different.
>>16984619Before you become disingenuous: if the point of F9 wasn't partial reuse, would we be here talking about the absolute market dominance that SpaceX has or would we be talking about how they're just old space owned by a car guy? Because without the magic words of "partial reuse" you don't get rock bottom launch prices, and <insert stupid high number of reuses> on Booster #420YOLOSWAG. You don't get Ariane seething themselves into oblivion. You don't get ULA crumbling. You don't get RUSCOSMOS being relegated to a thing no one even talks about anymore. You don't get the entire Chinese launch market springing up out of the ground with a dozen companies all trying to make a F9 clone. So, yes, they were failures. They put a payload into space. Who gives a shit? That's been happening since Sputnik.
Looking back Zubrin was so right. All this malarkey of trying to test Raptor and heat shield could have been done on the cheap if they had built a mini starship upper stage for Falcon 9. Who cares if they can't reach orbit with useful payload, it would be a very useful x-plane and would have given them a head start in making shit that actually works before assembling the full scale starship.
>>16984632>It lowers delta-V on Falcon during its R&D program too.Yes but that doesn't matter when get this... they were putting satellites in orbit regardless. Starship isn't doing that.>>16984634>if the point of F9 wasn't partial reuse, would we be here talking about the absolute market dominance that SpaceX has or would we be talking about how they're just old space owned by a car guy?Again Falcon 9 was doing successful missions despite blowing up boosters. Starships is not doing that. >Who gives a shit? That's been happening since Sputnik.Because get this... Starship can't do this thing that has been done since Sputnik.
>>16984634Musk was alwyas promising full reuasability of Falcon 9, but in reality Falcon 9 was designed as an expendable rocket. it was a happy coincidence that the engine clustering, which was done to save money, permitted propulsive landing.
>>16984639>Because get this... Starship can't do this thing that has been done since Sputnik.Except it can you stupid ass. Are you truly arguing that Starship cannot make it into orbit as opposed to SpaceX not being retards and keeping orbit off the table until they are certain (reasonably) nothing fucking weird is going to happen? Because again. It's the biggest thing ever put into space. Would you, in Elon's shoes, push Starship into orbit after weighing the risks or would you just keep it suborbital for the time being? It should be on its face obvious to you that Starship can get to orbit, that hasn't been the problem nor the concern. The problem and the concern has always been what the fuck the blowback looks like if it won't come down. They've even shown multiple times now that with their ghetto door they can put payloads into orbit should they burn the thrusters just a little bit more.
>>16984630>booster landing failures are irrelevant if they are putting commercial satellites into the orbit on schedule and unharmedThe goal of these tests isn't to deploy satellites, it's to develop a massive reusable rocket that will trivialize the cost of transporting mass into space.If I used the metric that a rocket launch is only successful if it has a net-zero environmental impact, then all Falcon 9 launches so far would all count as a failure.
>>16984639Almost as if the company that already has Falcon 9 to put operational sats into orbit is the same one that's developing Starship, so they can iterate the designs of things that made Starship special.
>>16984644Elon isn't blowing hundreds of millions for fun. If they could get someone to trust a satellite to be carried up by Starship they would but they can't. >>16984646Having money to blow doesn't mean blowing money up in smoke isn't a waste and a failure. Falcon 9 was carrying commercial payloads while they were testing the booster. That's what makes it not a failure while the Starship is a failure.
>>16984641>Musk was alwyas promising full reuasability of Falcon 9It was an aspiration, anon. Not a promise.And they shifted from full reusability to first-stage reusability after it became clear that this was more economically (and technically) feasible .
>>16984648>Elon isn't blowing hundreds of millions for fun. If they could get someone to trust a satellite to be carried up by Starship they would but they can't.Starship isn't designed to carry anything except Starlinks right now. Nobody's got a satellite that fits in the Pez Dispenser mechanism and they've allocated no visible manufacturing resources into a proper door.
>>16984648>That's what makes it not a failureto you*>while the Starship is a failure.to you*
>>16984597>apart from people killedwhich is the only part that actually matters.
>>16984595stop seething please, it's unbecoming of you.
>>16984637And then, when the Raptor is developed, wait more years to figure out how to build the biggest stainless steel rocket and its methane ground infrastructure? Genius! Because SpaceX doesn't have enough money.
>>16984656are you retarded? why can't these programs be done at the same time?
>>16984657>why can't these programs be done at the same time?They can't because you can only ever do one thing at the same time.It's like trying to eat and walk at the same time. Or listening to music while exercising. It simply can't be done.
You call this a success?
>>16984685Absolutely. The ship's not supposed to survive tipping over, and it's not supposed to avoid tipping over after splashdown.
>>16984685It depends on your criteria of success.Was the goal of the mission to not have the rocket explode after it simulated a landing? If so, it wasn't a success.If the goal was anything else, then the explosion has no effect on whether the test was a success or not.

>>16984685Total failure considering they missed India by ~3000 km
>>16984685yes, this was the stated goal.
Last time they made any progress was with fifth flight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI9HQfCAw64

The third world hands are getting desperate if they're trying this hard to discourage people.

>>16984625>Starship by comparison NEEDS reuse to work. a Starship where the booster and orbiter are not reusable is an abject failure because it will be too expensive.If its not reusable than it is still the largest rocket in the world. It would be a better Saturn V
>>16984685yes because it missed Mumbai
What exactly could we do with a moonbase? Besides it just being cool (which it is), what would be the purpose of something so expensive and difficult to maintain?
>>16984862depends on how big the moonbase is. early on, it will only be useful for contesting territory and scientific endeavor.
>>16984850mumbai wouldnt even notice
>>16984862There are three completely free resources on the moon: sunlight, matter and a lack of strong gravity.The first few moonbases on the moon will serve no function. They'll do nothing but host a few people for months at a time while they do some inconsequential scientific experiments.But after we've transported enough matter to the moon, they can start to function as a method to kickstart automated mining, smelters and factories.And once those facilities are in place, we can pretty much churn out rockets and rocket fuel for free.Stuff like this advances exactly like what we're seeing with AI. It starts with very tiny changes over many decades, then suddenly the speed picks up and we've advanced a thousand times as much in just a single year.i give it 30 years until rocket tickets are just as commonplace (if a bit more expensive) as airplane tickets.
