>>17023400
So if they fuck it up again this time Artemis is 100% getting delayed right?
>>17023407i thought it was a brotha in the thumbnail
/pig/ is go
>>17023421>sike
>>17023394i never watch nsf, what is with this troon they keep putting on the screen
>>17023430which one?
>>17023430>implying they only have one
>>17023435>>17023432ah fuck theres more?
>>17023418>he thinks it's not getting delayed as isoh son
>>17023430You should be complaining about the most stereotypical jew they have on all the time too.

holy moly dead general. starship became boring before it even reached orbit.
>>17023456Watching whats popping in the sandbox this exact moment is much more entertaining.
Did they ever figure out why the engines didn't light on the first flight test 13?
>>17023461that was the first time they showed a jeet on stream, so i think we all know why
>>17023461They haven't said publicly, but I believe from what we know that the rocket called an abort (for some reason) mid engine startup, because of this some engines started up enough to produce flame while others didnt. I would expect to hear more about it during the next episode of the "starship" docu-series
>>17023462Yep. Clogged nozzle from all that jeet diarrhoea.
Inb4 scurb
it's gonna blow up isn't it
>>17023461>>17023463This is what makes me lose all faith in the project>V2 built to fix problems with V1>new problems not seen in V1>V3 built to fix problems with V2>new problems not seen in V2
we going to facking space TODAY?
>>17023476Idk V2 definitely had its issues, but the V3 issues (so far) are really just raptor 3 is new, new hot firing stage with different dynamics.
>>17023476V2 was worse than V1 doe

sorry bros...I'm watching my favorite streamer for the launch today...
EPIC
>stickied>no one caresstarship is dead
>>17023624BACON
>progressive steps>same flight as last time
>AI>Galactic civilization>Multiplanetary species>Fails to go orbital fourteen times in a row
I tried to be hyped but it's just so boring now without a catch. Hopefully Starship accidentally lands on India or something and nukes a town.
>>17023629progressive steps**backwards
>demand that starship be all weather capable>elon deliversit's just that easy
my wife is streaming!
The heat shield make it look like a BBC...
Imagine how much extra effort and money is put in just to find a competent black to use as the obligatory diversity hire for each Artemis mission.

>>17023648Thanks anon
>>17023650we never leave /sfg/ so couldn't tell you
>>17023651
LAUNCH COMING I CAN FEEL IT
what's the reason for not landing the ship in the gulf next to the launch pad ?
>>17023655this
>>17023650like any board: lurk moar
Place your bets on how many Braptors will fail in this flight. I say 1 on booster ascent, 3 on boostback, and 1 on the landing burn that went out previously. Ship will fly flawlessly from start to finish.
>>17023658CGI isn't working today
>>17023666Calling scrub. Cursed project, cursed flight.
UOOOH UPSKIRT SHOT
TOWER CATCH MENTIONED
why is she wiggling her nozzles...
>>17023658to make it sure they can control the ship, last time not all engines kept running until SECO and they couldn't test raptor relight
hold
ONE MINUTE
WE GOANNNNN
imagine standing underneath the engines and just getting fucking melted at liftoff lmao
>>17023621/tg/ reports go!
GO FOR LAUNCH
BLAST OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow its happening
GAAN
WE GAAN
yay
Look at that, all engines ignited
Look at her go!

why thunderf00t not stream?
>All 33 reignitedFirst time or am I misremembering?
perfect until now
>>17023713yep
SPACE RATS SPOTTED
Earth looking good
>>17023727looks more like space a4 paper
>>17023723when did he say that? i wasn't really paying attention. all 33 for landing, what?
>>17023729yeah except that it's upside down
>well done elon, but you overlooked one important thingOH N-
>empty superheavy full thrustHow many Gs would that be?
>>17023722He suicided
wow that earth view is kino
ooh nice vacuum plumes
exhaust leak?
All boards, report in
FAIL
oops i was tabbed out and missed it
Looks like only a few engines lit up
You call that a landing?
Failed splashdown?
the fuck was that? how was that a landing?
nice "soft landing" lmao
awesome landing? i don't think so that shit crashed and exploded
wtf kind of symmetry is this
Ruh-roh
That's such a weird pattern of 5 engines to light up
>"Awesome landing"That was a fucking crash.
Booster lost engine on relight for landing, hard crashdown

did the stupid bitch just read off her script without even watching what was going on? lmao
no catch for the next one either. kek
>>17023745/mlp/ is GOAAAANNNN
5/13 center engines lit, better than last time thoughseems like booster v3 needs quite a bit of iteration
>>17023745/r9k/ tfw no raptor gf
>soft landinglol
It's come in, ignition any second now, landing thrusters on, aaaaaaaaaaand IT'S GONE! Thank you for your patronage, please remember to buy our stock, this line is for people who have rockets, please step aside.
>no booster catch for F14LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
the sonic boom took like a minute to reach them?
lmao so much for soft landing

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
a booster just flew over my house
did they change to black thermal blankets or are those some kind of new tiles?
>tiles still floating awayruhroh
how the fuck did we go from flawless booster catches and flawed ship to struggling to even splash the booster down but landing the ship through the atmosphere easily
>>17023803V3 booster was redesigned more
>>17023801That's chunks of ice from condensation, retard.

>>17023803>"tHe BeST pArT iS nO pArt!"Except when you actually need that part.
>No pad explosion >No successful booster soft splashdownI thought the X in SpaceX stands for entertainment?
>>17023806>ice is black now
>>17023803the booster was mostly the same with block 1 and 2what changed for block 2 was starship mostly, which also explains why there were so many problems with it while the booster was fine
>>17023803new engines, redesigned internal structures, 4>3 grid fins, new hotstage design, new flight profile, etc.
it's the booster in striped pajamas?

>>17023761>>17023763Ursa Minor
>>17023803Boost back burn V333 raptors on itProbably the boost back burn did it This is the second flight of block 3 the big boy. That was the first attempt at it Probably 11-13 gs. That kind of shit has never been tried. The first flight was just testing the block 3 now they are pushing it to be reliable and reusable.
>>17023816News flash: neither the pad nor the booster can survive terminal impacts at mach 12. How about getting those Raptors working as intended Elon?
>>17023833I'd call you a slur, but I don't want to get banned again
33 raptors wasted >>17023803for nothing
Can't wait for flight 15 with V4 and the exact same flight profile, lads!See you next year.
stock price status?
>>17023832the boostback burn in striped pajamas...
>>17023833Why do you think they didn't attempt the tower catch retard kun?
>>17023839V4 Raptor waiting room
>>17023833Nigger
>>17023803v3 booster was a reset for the program>>17023832the boostback looked fine to memaybe it was a sensor issue lol
Why not land in a lake, so they can retrieve the booster for study, as opposed to throwing it into the ocean like a car battery
There's no way the door or the starlink mechanism fails
>no cameras very jewish
>suborbital flight>real satellites????
>>17023843it panic dipped but came back up like 50% of the dip instantly
>>17023852They do retrieve it
>>17023852Lakes are too small and heavily trafficked
>>17023673lewd
>>17023857i feel like 90% of spcx holders dont even realize these test rockets crash in the ocean on purpose
>>17023845Because they are not confident that their reusable booster is in fact reusable. As it turns out, their speculation is correct.
>>17023857>after hours tradingjust hedgies playing games to shake out retail fomo tards
>cant even put them into orbitkek JSID bruh its over
>>17023861Stock traders are not known for their long term thinking
seems like the deployment is routine at this point
they keep blowing up boosterback in the day they were able to catch the whole booster
>>17023866Retard
>>17023852They should fly it over densely populated areas where there's enough road infrastructure to transport it back quickly
>>17023852It cost like 70 mil now for the super boosterIt’s cheaper just to trash them still >>17023850My guess is they never planned to land it they just wanted the data. It’s too risky still to try to catch
>>17023859Isn't anything they land in the ocean exploded on purpose for safety>

>>17023885Yes.Go give your money to africans if you care so much

>>17023883Why enter an expensive space race when you can just wait and copy the things that are proven to work? :^)
elon is wearing striped pajamas right now
>>17023885I could shit in my pants and it would be more important than (((universal healthcare))) which already exists for foreigners who go to the ER without paying or USAID which only existed to transfer wealth to said foreigners.

>>17023887Retard lol
Show us the money you personally gave, surely you care about the niggerinos
i knew that bait would get 50 replies
>capable of catching the booster
>>17023910I do care, I care that it's not happening fast enough
>>17023910Hopefully the entire population of Africa and its diaspora dies out so we can focus on doing great things again.
>>17023906>when you can just wait and copy the things that are proven to work? :^)because you're not china and have no industrial economy to even copy things with lol lmao
>>17023906>why do anything when we can have meetings
>>17023910pushing gay race communism all over the world is very unimportant and actively bad, yes
>>17023912Pretty sure they have a problem not having a working vehicle.
>we're crashing into india in 40 minutesbased alert?
Why is there a fucking jeet there
odd how little they are showing now. is it because of what the NSF fags said, some secret sauce in the sats (and maybe somewhere else)? maybe they are scared of chinese companies copying even more stuff?

>>17023934https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/spacex-reportedly-turns-away-falcon-customers-starship-gamble-comes-focus>Engineers at Musk's rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence juggernaut have halted building some non-reusable components for the Falcon family, such as the rocket's massive upper stage, said one of the people.>SpaceX's plans could change for a number of reasons, including development setbacks with the futuristic Starship vehicle, the people said. The company is likely to still use the Falcon 9 for launches for the Department of Defense and NASA, some of the people said.
>>17023926They launch more rockets than the rest of the world combined...
>>17023931if chinks wanted to investigate, they already have spy satellites all over the place
>>17023866The ship is approaching a substantial amount of the speed of light so you start seeing length contractions effects predicted by Einstein's GR.
Rajesh Kuthrepali still can't speak around women I see
Did they deploy all of them or did it jam?
>>17023941>halted building some non-reusable components for the Falcon family, such as the rocket's massive upper stageWhy are you still posting this shit?
where did that external light come from?

they still haven't explained how starship is going to land and take off from marsthey will need huge legs to provide ample clearance from the ground which is huge amounts of massthey will need to refuel at mars in order to have enough for landingthey can't bellyflop or aero maneuver on mars because the atmosphere is too thin so it will have to do a sustained LM-like burnit will destroy any nearby infrastructure when taking off from mars, now try taking care of that headache with hundreds or thousands of these things

ITS SPARKLING
>>17024106Bigger numbers look more impressive
Why did they put pajeet next to the hot engineer?
>>17024090I assume that any added mass would far outweigh the amount of energy produced. Although if ships lined with a water membrane are necessary against radiation on voyages to Mars I guess it could also be used to suck some heat out during reentry.

didn't need those blankets anyway
How do they prevent stainless steel from becoming brittle due to the rapid cooling after re-entry?
>>17024131it got tinted first by the boostback burn
>>17024094why not? maybe some small thing to use as brakes plus a generator or w/e>>17024111maybe something for dual use?

Is it wet, or is it just shiny?
>>17024139the resale value is going to be NOTHING with this much surface rust
>>17024138By not heating it up
>>17024138If the TPS does it's job the steel doesn't get all that hot
>>17024138There is more than one kind of stainless steel, we don't know the temps.

THE BBC HAS LANDED!
oooh, heat shield looks great
IT DIDNT EXPLODE
this is fine
DILDO HAS LANDED
BUTTER
>no explosiontask failed successfully?
the chinese will now go grab the ship lmao
Hmmmm didn't look too controlled
WTF it didn't blow up???? LMAO WTF
Ship can swim back to Starbase.
They'll have to shoot it or something right?
CHINESE FISHING FLEET OUTTA NOWHERE
Starship sub
wtf go back to starship
Great, the galaxy will be infested by jeets now
there was a turtle i swear just now swimming up to it
someone should steal it
>>17024106Nobody who knows what they're doing works with 23/128ths of an inch type of measurements anymore.
Quick, pour some water onto it and launch it again!
Uhhhh the explosives?
WE GOT A FLOATER
Beautiful
It's a ship now

The Starships in the Indian Ocean are free, you can take them home. I have 1 Starship.
Why the re-entry wasn't red hot hits time ?
the stock is about to moon
literally a starSHIP
H1Bs truly are our greatest ally
>>17024114>>17024115we don't use imperial units
NICE
So the rockets swaying like crazy when splashing down in KSP is realistic
>entire onboard camera and comms system still intactwhat the
>>17024198they didn't do any aggresive manuevering tests this time or remove heatshield tiles, or add some metallic ones
>>17024198good heat shield didnt fall apart this time
>>17024198They already have that data. These launches are to test what the vehicle can withstand when put to the absolute maximum.Normal payload launches won't nearly touch these kind of parameters.
YOU CAN'T PARK THERE
They aren't going to activate the damn FTS, right? It'd be such a waste if they did, they now have have the chance to bring it back in one piece.
booster status?
>>17024198They finally just did a normal reentry without doing meme manuevers
>>17024214>>17024212understand, but didn't they fail all those extreme tests ?>>17024213unrelated
Is the nuke gonna go off?
>>17024219nobly sacrificed
>>17024214I don't think they tested aggressive angle of attack etc or trying to manuever it in the air too much
next launch starship catch or we riot
chinese ships spotted nearby
where will the currents take it
Enjoy the chemicals stupid whales, regards from humanity
What is the white residue from? Wasnt it orange a couple flights ago?
>>17024207of course. everything that seems whimsical in ksp always turns out to apply to real life.
one step closer to the Cowboy Bebop future
so are they gonna bring it back home or will they blow it up off stream so investors don't get spooked?
>>17024223you can't really "fail" when you are testing the envelopeits like testing how far you can throw a ball
KINO ALERT!! KINO ALERT!!!
Couple of broken tiles, I wonder how long it'd take to refurbish in its current state.>>17024217I think they did, the flames started shooting up from the tip.
>>17024232orange was iron I assume
>>17024202I don't understand how there are American and British ounces and gallons. Which one is used when you just say "ounces" or "gallons"
the heat shield was absolutely decimated. honestly it's pretty over.
>>17024230Atlantis, Agartha, or perhaps the Undying Lands
>>17024223>didn't they fail all those extreme tests ?The tests are very likely to fail. It's a bit like driving a car into a wall to see how well the general structure holds up.>>17024226Some of the earlier tests tested some of the bigger manouvers, but that was a few versions ago.
>>17024232from padding underneath and around the tiles
>>17024232orange was when they were testing a different type of tile that oxidized bigly, coating the ship in rust
>>17024240>>17024246They could probably just bolt new ones on with no issues
>>17024246Way more than 10% of the tiles survived thoughbeit
>heat shield is actually fucked and doesn't look reusable
>ship survives landing>falls under international maritime recovery law>every fishing boat starts heading to the coordinates https://youtu.be/OjNpRbNdR7E
maybe they could use the leftover fuel to drive the ship back to murica
>>17024238by testing the envelope you mean attempting to reach orbit?
>>17024257they didn't even stress test it it's over
>>17024239So kino>>17024237They're definitely bringing it back, that is basically a guaranteed way to perfect the vehicle.
Those shots of waves crashing into the engine bay were so fucking kino.
>>17024246It's fine as long as the underside is good?
>>17024238 >>17024249okok understand, thanks anons. Knowing that I would trust the ship much more to do human missions. Before having this info I thought it was just randomly exploding
>the heat shield in striped pajamasIt's over
>>17024255decimate means 10% destroyed, not 90% destroyed....
RAPTOR RELIGHT SEEN FROM JOHANNESBURG
>>17024263by testing the envelope I mean pushing past the current known flight envelope i.e. where it is known the current config of the ship worksthey didn't do that this time
>>17024268>Before having this info I thought it was just randomly explodingYou and most of the general public. Once they're done testing, Starship will become the next Falcon 9.
>>17024249yeah the last v2 ships did that on purpose
>>17024273So good
so are they gonna scuttle the ship when they're done
>>17024273This is insane, I bet it was so cool to see in person.
>>17024260Ivan is already enroute
>>17024051Based Clear appreciator
>>17024265>They're definitely bringing it backhow? they don't have a boat for it
>>17024278Activate ye olde FTS
>>17024278They have to. The COPVs are not safe. They still contain residual fuel and could detonate at any point. SpaceX have done this to Falcon boosters.
>extended spacex logo kino
>>17024273
Is the test over or not?
Is Starship even safe to approach bobbing in the ocean like that? Could decide to blow up at any minute.
>>17024282Refuel it, E2E
>>17024290They're probably safing it before craning it to the deckNot much to do since it's not hypergolic
>>17024290perfectly safe :^)
>>17024290No, but they have to send divers over to attach explosives to it anyway.
>fully and rapidly reusable
>>17024219>VERSION 35 WILL FIX THISVERSION 35 WILL FIX THIS
>>17024291based
>>17024288its over
>>17024290The fuel tank venting ports still seem to be working so it might be possible to rescue it fully in tact.
>>17024299What's the issue
>>17024299Its fine, just fill those holes with epoxy and send it back out
>>17024278They will refuel and sail it back
somalian pirates and houthis are on their way to recover the ship
>>17024299Muskoxen... Our response?
>>17024305the hundreds of tiles that would need to be replaced
>>17024235one problem though
>>17024310So replace them
>>17024243it depends who is talking
>>17024288>>17024302..., over
>>17024299>>17024309Thermal shock from contact with sea water, ship catch solves this
>>17024310The tiles.Those tiles that were specifically designed to be easily replaced.Those tiles that were specifically designed to be easily replaced will need to be replaced.I'm not seeing the problem.
>>17024305The issue is that it doesn't do anything special and fails to keep the truth musk set. Even India has private space launch now not america can compete with lies.
It happened again, didn't it?
>>17024285fortune favors the brave
>>17024299Don't worry, see they are gonna heckin' learn so much from all the data and then next time it's gonna work! Trust the plan! 1000 SAARSHIT launches per year by 2028! You have EDS if you think otherwise
>>17024321Hilariously, the next flight is likely to be *actually* orbital instead of *basically* orbital
>>17024318The cope is reaching levels not thought possibleSpaceX launches more than the rest of the world combined
>>17024318>indialol, 3 solid and 1 hypergolic stage to put up <300kg. congrats to india's private sector for reaching 1950s levels of space technology
>>17024317It's possible to replace the tiles, but it's not optimal. They're meant to be reusable.
>>17024299Why can't shield replacement be automated?
>>17024354the best part is no part
>>17024299Remember the first landing, when the aft flap MELTED AND FELL OFF. It's fine. Rapid improvement. Even more rapid that they landed one intact and can inspect it.
>>17024357The next best part is a part that stays on the ground
>>17024338its crazy how China was having medieval famines 50 years ago and now it's close to surpassing the USA technologically
>>17024377Its crazy how much you chinks shill on here after a near flawless flight
>>17024382>near flawless flightnta but, seriously?did the 2nd stage land on terrain? did the first stage even land before crashing? isn't it supposed to be recoverable?
is it still floating?think they can tow it back to land?
>>17024051English is the superior language faggot
>>17024377the soviet union went from serfdom to nuclear super power in less time than that
>>17024299All those tiles seem to have been broken at the extremeties where they meet each other, which means the issue is with the space between them. If they find a better way to seal those gaps the issue might be resolved
>China: nailed landing on first mission>USA: failed to landing even after 13 flightsHello, The Chinese Century.
>>17024363>RapidAnon how many years and failed attempts has it been? It's like calling Russia's invasion of Ukraine a blitzkrieg, starship has been making test flights almost as long.
>>17024404Truth, but they dropped the ball.
Sorry for being late but anyone know what that thing above the horizon is? Just the moon?
>>17024426For a reusable second stage? This is incredibly fast.
>acoustic instability snuffs out booster engines on relightimagine my surprise
Webms of the launch? The liftoff was so fast
>>17024529ask >>>/sci/sfg
>>17024354It probably can be for the regular hexagonal ones. But the edges and curves would be a lot harder to automate.>>17024357Humans have tones of delicate and irreplaceable components.
>>17024628>Humans have tones of delicate and irreplaceable componentsSuch as?
>>17024633Compared to machinery, everything.
>>17024634my body replaces itself every 7-10 years
>>17024635That's self-maintenance. But the human's body ability to repair damage is very limited.
>>17024636machines generally can't self repair to any extentan excavator can't change its own fluid lines or anything, whereas my muscles can repair themselves, even after being pierced or severed
>>17024659Yes, but like I said, this is limited. Piercing will leave scar tissue, and certain cuts cat damage nerve tissue, permanently impairing mobility. And if a limb is severed, you can't always reattach it. And blunt damage to the head can just lead to instant death, depending on force and location. There is also the issue of spare parts. They have to come from other humans since we can't makes them artificially yet. And all workplace injuries are a big headache from a legal standpoint, too.
>>17024377It’s not, lmao.
>>17024404Actually it never left serfdom after that.Even now, russia is basically still a neo-feudal shithole, what changed in the USSR is that russia had a bunch of more succesful developed countries as colonies that it could feed off of.
>>17024529no it must be a lens flare or something
>>17024549Starship has been in development longer than Shuttle. So no, it is not fast.
>muh mars colony by 2022>2026>can't land the 1st stage, had to splash down>can't land the reentry vehicle, had to splash down>happy about a non explosionmeanwhile chinks already caught up
>>17024967>happy about a non explosionA giant rocket being able to land in the open ocean by just tipping over on its side and just float on the surface is fucking insane anon.
