>>17033096Capsules aside, why did Russians (or the Chinese for that matter) never experiment with inflatables, yet, AFAIK?The concept is solid and has been throughly tested by Bigelow's Genesis and BEAM modules.

starfall got its first customer>Space Microgravity Development, or SpaceMD, a subsidiary of Redwire, announced Aug. 6 it purchased a dedicated Starfall mission scheduled to launch in late 2028.>The spacecraft will carry up to 32 of Redwire’s Pharmaceutical In-Space Laboratory, or PIL-BOX, experiment packages, which the company said will be redesigned to optimize the capabilities offered by Starfall. SpaceMD said it will use the mission to perform pharmaceutical research, taking advantage of what it calls the “highly tailorable microgravity environment and mission duration” offered by Starfall.>Redwire has flown 54 PIL-BOX systems to the International Space Station since 2023, with 12 more slated to launch later this year.

>>17033019Are Russian kogals even allowed into orbit
>>17033132The future is flat(packed)
Starship is going orbital. How will EDS respond to this?
Wtf is this?
IRIS2 is moving into the deployment phase. What do we think?The combination of LEO + MEO sounds interesting. I assume it will use the LEO component to talk with the ground segment, and the MEO part to connect the various LEO sats with each other?
>>17033137some test article
>>17033137three cybertrucks and a chevy
>>17033137Stubby starship bros we are so back
>>17033138basically the idea is to route high throughput tasks to higher orbit satellites (in MEO and GEO like Viasat) and have LEO sats for low latency stuff.

ROAD DELAY AGAIN! THIS TIME SHIP 41 STATIC FIRE FR TRUST THE PLAN
SpaceX should just buy the road
What if Flight 14 will be suborbital again and Elon just said it to tank the stock?
>>17033471why would he want to tank it?
>>17033285I would rather kms than go back to one launch a month at best
>>17033476>than go back to one launch a month at bestbut that's how it is already
>>17033461I was expecting the site to become private property by now.
Let's say Starship fully rapidly reusable 200 tons to orbit is the peak and China will get such a rocket in 2040, who would launch more payload to orbit in the 21 century, China or USA?
>>17033491there's interest in moon mining for whoever goes first, so probably spacex, this is an entire new industry being born
>>17033491Two possibilities: space datacenters are profitable, or they aren't. China waits to see how SpaceX does, and then decides to jump into that market IF it looks good AND if their economy demands it like ours does (China is energy-rich and chip-limited while the US has the opposite problem, so their incentives may still not favor it). In either case, SpaceX has a huge head start and has more economic resources - both demand for AI compute and physical capital to actually build and launch stuff - so they win the mass-to-orbit competition easily.Similar scenarios play out for any hypothetical future space economies. China always operates by letting US companies take risks and then copying them once they've figured out what works. They do this because they don't have the ludicrous amounts of free capital the US has to put into risky ventures with uncertain upside. This is fundamentally an issue of economic mass, meaning they will also always lag behind in terms of scale.
>>17033397Because its their work vehicle?
>>17033397spacex has bought a lot of cybertrucks to use internallyit's probably a way to boost its image
>>17033502>buying your own stuffi thoughted that's illegal
>>17033504it's implied what bought means in this context
>>17033397>>17033502>boughtpretty sure they're just taking delivery of excess cybertruck production, possibly at cost and possibly some are being put to use, but mostly just because they have nowhere else to go>>17033505tesla and spacex are not the same company (yet)
>>17033471>What if Flight 14 will be suborbital again and Elon just said it to tank the stock?flight 14 is going orbital. im getting the feeling that spacex is really trying to get starship going. like flight 14 is not just going orbital, but going to be the first commercial flight in general. no more testing...we'll, they're always testing...but actually making money and delivering on long held promises.

Hey, give *that* back.
>>17033535Apparently I can take it back doing what I'm doing- good.
>>17033526Can't find anything about that, but I did find this https://www.city-journal.org/article/atelier-missor-prometheus-statue-spacex-starbaseInteresting response to why they're focusing on Greek mythI know the US likes to pretend the rest of the world is utterly unmotivated but if you move the world like Elon has then artists will respond to that
>>17033343>like the shuttle, can put a >100-ton spacecraft in LEO>like the shuttle, doesn't have any fuel left to go anywhere after thatThis triggers me and the space truck should get some kind of asterisk if it's called a SHLLV

i missed this but it looks like swift is alive>The Katalyst team is continuing recovery operations and making steady progress toward returning LINK to its mission to rendezvous with and boost NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. >LINK was spinning at approximately 9 degrees per second when recovery operations began. The team has since reduced the spacecraft’s body rate to 1.47 degrees per second, where it will remain while the team prepares for the next phase of the mission. >The team used one of LINK's electric propulsion thrusters to slow the spacecraft down, consuming less than 100 grams of propellant to conserve fuel for the rendezvous and boost phase of the mission. >Over the next few days, we will upload a significant flight software update that includes new attitude controllers for LINK’s current configuration. This will restore full attitude control and allow the team to begin the phasing maneuvers needed to align LINK’s orbit with Swift. >Over the last 48 hours, the Katalyst team has worked to reduce LINK’s rotation while assessing current spacecraft functionality and its control system. >A series of burns using a Hall effect thruster on a two-axis gimbal has reduced LINK’s spin rate from approximately 9 degrees per second to approximately 4 degrees per second. We believe the remaining rates will be reduced over the next series of burns. >In parallel, Katalyst is working closely with the NASA team to develop a new attitude controller for LINK’s current configuration. This work includes remapping the available actuators, retuning the control algorithms, and validating the updated controller in simulation before it’s activated on orbit. >The recovery effort has delayed rendezvous, with LINK now expected to approach Swift around the end of August. We’re focused on stabilizing the spacecraft and restoring core system functionality while planning rendezvous with Swift, which we will begin executing once recovery is complete.
>>17033809>that means >100X the bandwidth of Starlink V2, which will reach $20B>SpaceX communications revenue will exceed $200B/yeardoes starlink charge per transmitted data to corporate clients or to the military? because otherwise that makes no sense at all. also, unless you are watching/downloading a lot of porn, 4k videos or w/e, no one gives a shit about data rates beyond ~400 mb/s
>>17034359That is an incredible turnaround for a team to need to do in real timeThey literally had to tear their ops playbook in half and start over
>500 laws banning new data centers in 42 statesthis is why spacexai is going to win. everyone is going full NIMBY on data centers. meanwhile spacex is building them in space.

>>17034360starlink currently has tiers of subscriptions for residential and marine/in transit/roamingcurrently only a few airlines have it and afaik cruise ships use itexpanding bandwidth 100x means there's no limitations on who can buy service and large backhaul links can serve enterprise customersright now there are people willing to pay hundreds of dollars in fees just to subscribe in heavy use areas
>>17034370Bro it makes sense to regulate datacenter construction, even if a moratorium is the only way they're going about it right nowDatacenters need to be as regulated as any other heavy industrial structure and have been skating by with legal loopholes for quite some time.
reminder
I was looking for details on the ISS shutting down operations when the thermal load is too high a few times a year and I ran across https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/piercing-the-plasma/No wonder the military likes Starship so much, it solved a hypersonic problem
why are people so pissy about datacenters anyway?>they use electricity and water and they make noiseok? so does every other factory. throw them in industrial areas and stop caring
>>17034375>Datacenters need to be as regulated as any other heavy industrial structurewhy
>>17034383I think it’s all just simpleminded virtue signaling; being ‘anti data center’ is just in vogue. Bitching about it makes stupid liberals feel smart.All the arguments against data centers also apply to the negativities of wind and solar farms.
>>17034383>throw them in industrial areaspart of industrial zoning incorporates heavy transporttrain, air, or highway connection
>>17034383Generally people could give less of a fuck about datacenters except:People want to build them near fiber which becomes a huge headache when you consider where fiber trunks are usually locatedANY utility incurring extra costs serving their industrial customers (these datacenter builders are demanding dedicated power plants for their multi gigawatt workloads) will pass them on to the only customers they don't have fixed-rate contracts with, residential customers. This happens even in states with public utility ratesetting boardsIn many areas but especially the southwestern US, which has been in severe drought conditions for quite some time now, do not have water to spare nor could they (i.e. the water rights situation in california has to be seen to be believed)

>>17034387Datacenters brings nothing of value to a regular person.
>>17034415They're all going to have it, they're made of steel which flexes quite a bit, relatively lightly built out of necessity, and the sudden introduction of load to a flexible steel structure always causes a lot of motion that takes time to dampen out. The catch towers move back and forth a lot after a booster catch.

>>17034481Data centers actually decrease prices
>>17034484Eventually, in the long term, as long as something doesn't get in the way to make it impossible to increase capacity.
>>17034486No statistically they already doIts just fear mongerkng like the water thing that was based on a typo or something that the original author has admitted, but it still gwts repeated over and over againBoth issues are completely made up, especially the water thing
>>17034383"Every other factory" tends to produce something of value as well as give jobs to locals.Datacenters are like a giant tick directly hooked up to local power and water leaving more or less zero jobs and just making everything more expensive.
>>17034490>>17034484You're a retard
>>17034383>why are people so pissy about datacenters anyway?Boomers and leftists are very gullible and thus targeted by Chinese funded propaganda.
>>17034481>so your electric and water bills just tripled for the same usageFell for the propaganda award.
>>17034496I thought it was this until a rep from one of these data center operators came to our neighborhood to pitch the project was booed out of our town hall. People just don't like them anon.
>>17034493He's not retarded, but I think he is looking at select markets where the improvements have been disproportionately available compared to the ongoing capacity stress growth.
>>17034492Thing is, no one is building factories that give local jobs. And if they do then the locals will protest the pollution and nouse.
>>17034481That 300k would have been taxed from the people lobby here. And we get cheap water heating because the grid was hooked up into the data centers.

https://x.com/FelixSchlang/status/2086799353893486988
>>17034504no I mean just on averagein some places it might increase prices (perhaps temporarily), but historically places that have had a lot of data centers have had cheaper power
>>17034529software and knowledge work is the real economy, without them "the real economy" would probably be 100 or 1000 times smaller than it is now

>vulcan is offline>new glenn is offline>long march is offline:starshiptortoise:
If it was an engine failure, most of the Long March rockets will likely be grounded.
>>17034562If you're trying to support the earlier claim that prices became lower because of data centers, then the guy who called you retarded is right.They put the data centers in places with low electricity costs, not the other way around.
>>17034144true. That was a bonus of the Sea Launch system, the entire ocean acted as the flame trench and sound suppression system at launch.
>Ariane 6 Lightweight Upper Stage, Future Upgrades Cancelledgeeeeeeg
>>17034511sure, that's obvious, but you failed to realize that it is not a direct consequence. you don't get more subscribers just because you have higher bandwidth. also, ISPs usually move their existing customers to plans with higher bandwidth for free after upgrading their internal equipment.it's just potential. I'd guess pricing is a bigger factor, and while starlink has become cheaper, it's still not as cheap as fiber or even mobile plans.
>>17034593They raised prices *because* they're at capacity in many places. Increasing capacity means they can reduce prices.

>>17034583The upper stage or interstage buckled at Max-Q.
>>17034625LITERAL CHINESIUM ASS SHIT
>>17034626There’s a reason they call it chinesium.
>>17034563Speculating on a bubble is not the real economy.AI is not worth anywhere near the amount of money being pumped into it, it sucks ass.
>>17034556Hence the desalination that i mentioned, are you illiterate?
>>17034588That’s fine for expendable rockets but this will rapidly corrode a reusable rocket to shit by spraying it with a salty mist.
>>17034634>>17034588It was not known for a high flight rate or reliability.
>>17034562>in some placesIn ALL places, that’s how demand works dumbass.>area has X amount of electricity demand>stocknigger builds slopcenter>demand has increased dramatically but supply stays the same>supply becomes more expensive.Also the cope that they’re running on their own generators does not subvert this, those generators are fed by a supply of any number of fuels, causing the exact same thing to happen, as the powerplants in the area must now pay for higher fuel prices, thus increasing the price of electricity.
>>17034625Looks like it buckled quite a ways below the fairing, i think it’s the interstage.
Should've went nuclear
>>17034641I think this is likely, but it does look like the failure may have initiated in the interstage between the first and second stages, with the buckling causing the third stage to fail and fall off the rocket, temporarily relieving the buckling load on the second stage interstage, but the resulting total failure of the vehicle was already in progress.
nuclear powered orbital data centers
Why not nuclear datacetners in space?
>>17034647You have to reject about 60% or more of the total heat from the reactor, it's heavy, it's got a lot more regulatory hurdles, and it doesn't really offer any advantages over solar.
>>17034625Wow
>>17034649>and it doesn't really offer any advantages over solar.and it doesn't really offer any advantages over solar when it is this close to the sun*You gotta add that part at the end otherwise schizos show up saying nuclear is always better because it is when near Neptune
>>17034626Rockets are deliberately built with thin structural margins to save weight. Structural margins on LM7A are very thin because it's essentially an LM7 with an LM3 upper stage stacked on top of it. This is a tradeoff: it saves money thanks to design and production commonality, but it also means the rocket can't launch during strong winds. Apparently, they misjudged the wind at high altitude, which coincided with max-Q and meant the stress on the rocket became too high.At least, that's the explanation I've received. I don't know if it's fully accurate.
>>17034653>the winds are too strong :sob:ah, the spacex approach...
Retrofitting a fleet of Starships when there's a failure down the line is going to be a pain in the ass.
>>17034655Is this not true of literally every rocket ever?
>>17034586no, they put datacenters in places with access to a lot of fiber previously
>>17034658What historical orbital rockets have had hundreds active at one time?
>>17034630Anthropic and OpenAI are selling frontier AI tokens at over 90% gross margins
>>17034638no, thats not how demand worksthats how the supply and demand works IF there is not enough supplyand that is not the case for nat gas (yet) and remains to be seen if it does become a constraint at some pointsits not one now
remember when starship was doing flips and it still didn't explode
the cost of electricity has risen in many places (like california) due to retarded politics (i.e. closing nuclear plants, creating regulations that make it basically impossible to build new ones and increases the cost massively) and the utilities pushing maintanance that they should have donethere might be some marginal places where grid connected data centers have increased utility prices, but generally they are just being used as a scapegoatthe fact that the water thing still gets parroted constantly shows this has nothing to do with facts, its a narrative
>>17034664it had legs at the time and didn't splash in the ocean
>still no ship or booster static fire
>>17034669Don't worry, Elon said one Starship launch per day starting with next sunmer.
>>17034625That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point. There are many rockets going up all the time and very seldom does something like this happen.
>>17034673It's happened approximately twice since the V-2 program.
Starship 14 scheduled for late August 2026 (again)
>>17034674This Long March 7A being the third case.Mercury-Atlas 1 and a Proton launch failure from the fairing collapsing in 1969.
>>17034413The booster came back to land alright ahaha.
>>17034664Yes. I remember.
>>17034632In any case I apparently don't speak retard, so you'll have to figure it out for yourself.
>>17034660>it's based only on one criterionthey're not mutually exclusive
The core stage engine flames out a fraction of a second before the vehicle explodes, but that may have been caused by failures further up.
>>17034685The flame-out was probably caused by a loss of pressure from the first stage being damaged by the failure of the structures above.

>>17033187Ukranians formed the brains for the pidor union space program. And pretty much all of its critical industry. That is why the zombie empire is so desperate trying to conquer them back and why we keep hearing never-ending clever technical solutions coming out of ukraine. To the point that even Lockheed and Raytheon are scared to give them patriot interceptor license. Since they might outshine them improving and optimizing the systemFinally, something /sfg/ related too. Ukranians are expected to introduce their first domestic ballistic missiles soon, which they will extensively test out on moscow to make sure they are at their peak performance
>>17034623Do their rocket engineers also have a designated shitting street/launch pad?
Is the SpaceX IPO the real deal? Or is there some corporate fuckery involved like Musk & friends always retaining the controlling shares or actual assets like starship or starlink sequestered away in legally distinct bodies loosely tied with spaceX?
>>17034974why the fuck would Elon give up control? are you retarded?
>>17034976Same reason he did the IPO. Because he is a degenerate in desperate need for cash you absolute retarded nigger
>>17034977He got the 80+ billy without giving up control so can take the L now
>>17034974They bloated a lot of AI bullshit into the package to lure in the speculator money and keep the circle trade bubble going with the rest of the AI brosBut otherwise yes, real assets that actually matter are all in the stock. starship, falcon 9 and starlink
>>17034974in these threads it is always assumed that /biz/ shit side of spex is not real, is a waste of money, and therefore not worth discussing
>>17034978And lost 50% of its value from previous high. You stupid cunt
>>17034980/biz/ is more for speculators obsessed over lines on a graph with max two day forecast. That one was asking more about the actual meat and bones of the public offering
>>17034981>post-IPO spike and dropmore news at eleven
when are they going to acquire a nuclear startup?
>>17034982that one is asking in a roundabout way if he should start speculating on spacex or not lol
>>17034985when a startup starts throwing the fusion buzzword
>>17034987>>17034985aka a solar starup which elon already did lol
>dude the lockups bro this stock is going down to the double digits>first lockup ends>stock goes up 20%yep yep
365 launches in 2027 btw
>>17034992Imagine typing that out and nothing clicking in your head.

>>17034997>logitech product placement
>>17034983>we meant to lose half our value. Trust the plan! EIt's okay muskfag. You can take the L now
>>17034999>>we meant to lose half our valueThe value SpaceX agreed on was $135 thoughbeit.
>>17034999The stock market is like a person outside uour home shouting numbers evety day, they go up and down someykmes very arbitratilyBut at the end of the day, your house is still the same
>>17034985As soon as the draconian over regulation is relaxed and scaled back. Anti-nook hysterics backed by fossil fuel and hostile foreign enemies money couldn't get it outright banned, but sure as shit could get it over regulated to death. All in the name of "safety" of courseToday, constructing a commercial reactor core that should take three years will take a decade at least because of red tape alone
>>17034986That one was asking about the actual contents of the offering, as in what the actual assets are in the corporate entity marked as SpaceX. So no, it really was not about speculation
>still no update on the spaceXsuits after Polaris Dawn
>>17034974The IPO was nothing more than a bailout for Twitter investors and you can't convince me otherwise

At this point, even this late into development, it would still be a wise business decision to cancel Neutron
>>17035068I want to see it finished and have no market though.
I like Neutron.
>>17035031I think we should stay away from that white spot
>>17035045more like: "how do we destroy Russia?"answer: let them tank their economy launching the Rassvet constellation on expendable rockets. Worked for Energia and the Soviet shuttle Buran!

>>17034974>https://thenextweb.com/news/spacex-ipo-s1-musk-voting-control>SpaceX’s IPO prospectus, now public after the company’s confidential SEC filing on 1 April 2026, confirms that Elon Musk and fellow insiders will retain dominant voting control of the company after its listing through a dual-class share structure.>Under the arrangement, Musk holds approximately 42% of SpaceX’s equity but controls roughly 79% of its votes through super-voting shares that carry disproportionately higher voting rights per share.>Ordinary shares sold to public investors will carry standard voting rights, meaning buyers will gain an economic stake in the company but no meaningful ability to influence its direction.https://thenextweb.com/news/spacex-ipo-s1-musk-voting-control Musk has a minority shares, but majority voting rights. Retail has an unusually large allocation too. Likely since they are much easier (and passive) to herd then all sorts of professional financial institutions that ask pesky questions and make demands Make of it what you will

>>17035172Only partial here in NA, I'm more interested in the Perseids later tomorrow night.
>>17035172In the UK it's only going to be a 90% eclipse and the media hype is over the top.Disappointment is guaranteed.
Is it good enough to use a floppy disc to watch it?

>SpaceXAI revenue will exceed all other SpaceX revenue by next month.>If we bring 10 Giga Watts of AI online by the end of next year, it will $300 to $500 billion a year in revenue.Key important for space flight. SpaceX's success is humanity's success. If SpaceX can a mass trillion faster in capital gains from AI for Mars, then Mars funding is secured. Realistically, before AI, there is ZERO pathway towards $1 trillion/y revenue for SpaceX. Mars need trillions, so Mars was always a pipe dream. Or at the very least, not scalable fast enough for colony. Musk has always stated you need ~$1+trillion for a functioning city on Mars. Now we have that. If SpaceX gets that by 2030, ~4 years from now, this is the most viable/fastest/material path to Mars colony by far.
wtf /sfg/ told me berger was team space
>>17035274He's laughing at Gor, the nigger that derailed Isaacman's first nomination. Being sent to India was his punishment.
>>17034970>Ukranians formed the brains for the pidor union space program. And pretty much all of its critical industry. Which is Ukraine is a space fairing nation. Oh wait they sold everything that wasn't nailed down to China in the nineties allowing China to greatly advance its space industries, and now we have to deal with the consequences of it.
>>17034981SpaceX's stock is at the IPO value you filthy jeet.
>>17035010Jared has openly talked about sending a NEP probe to Enceladus, you would know this if you were asking a sincere question.
>>17035275he definitely ended up on someone's shit list, serves him right
>>17035296>Talked about It's over.It's over.
>>17035220you got any spaceflight in this update?
>>17035345Here are all sentences where he said Starship:08:12So, we managed to do Falcon Heavy, which is the most powerful rocket in the world before Starship.13:30Yeah, Starship is amazing.13:32Wow.13:34Hard to believe that humans made such a thing.13:39I think the future AI will look back and say, not bad for a bunch of humans.13:46So, yeah, so Starship is obviously an incredible vehicle, and it's what will take us from roughly14:012,500 tons to orbit per year to over a million tons to orbit per year.14:08And I think maybe even to 10 million tons per year.14:16But I'd say it's highly likely we do over a million tons per year to orbit with Starship, and probably14:24close to 10 million, which is, you know, mind-boggling, obviously.15:01Like I said, I think it's arguably the hardest thing that humanity has ever tried to do.15:07And the Starship team has done an amazing job across the board with engines, avionics structures,15:16launch operations.15:18So big hand for the Starship team.
>>17035275>Gorhe should have been sent to Counter-Earth, ambassador to the Tarnsmen
>>17035349thanks. i just finished getting through the video though and it was awful lol. he rehashes same old content. the only thing new was predicting that AI would be 99% of the company's revenue soon.
>>17035351What surprised me was that he didn't talk about the survival of the human consciousness, just about how cool and inspiring it is to be a multi-planetary species.
>>17035268Why would you want to highlight that in a speech to your staff who joined for space shit? At least tack on how you'll use that money to have more space projects in parallel or something.
>>17033411ayo fuck yo EUV, magnetic lenses are much more controllable
>>17033491>superpower 2040you do not understand the nature of exponential growth~10000 tons of upmass is a fucking chondrite refinery, whoever gets one first is the Standard Oil of space
>>17033411Kind of. It uses a particle accelerator to drive electron bunches into the undulators for free-electron lasers.
>>17035366
>>17034970if the ukie rocket industry is revived it will give spacex a run for their money
>>17035108I miss Polyus like you wouldn't believeElon's idea of putting a shitton of small lasers in spehs instead of a honking big one doesn't have quite the same cool factor
Mars colonisation bros...
>>17035380Do you think the typical enlisted is comparable to a colonist?You should look into the suicidal ideation rates of the more patriotic people. Those who didn't join because they're looking for way out of a end in their lives, or for the the post service benefits.
>>17035380Honestly kind of funny the Navy can't keep their guys from breaking opsec all over the placeIt's a boat in the ocean with no internet or phone service, come on guys
>>17035380I’d do that too if I were forced to be IDF first-responders instead of a mars colonist
>>17035394it’s shocking to me that phones aren’t flat out banned. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember multiple cellphone video camera angles of that US Navy collision that happened months ago
>>17035374What sort of laser can we put inside Starship that is powered by foldable-extendable solar array/battery compartment?1 Megawatt? 1Gigawatt?
>>17035353I'm glad, I don't trust that "light of consciousness" talk
Are floppy disks good enough for the solar eclipse?
>>17035417If I interpret this right, floppy disk are at least as good for protection as SN 14 welder masks? But why does everyone say floppy disks are not good enough?
>>17035404Polyus was 80 tons with a chemically pumped megawatt laserI imagine you could do something similar and get about 3 MW cw, or chirped pulses in the 10s of MWSOTA solar panels seem to be able to produce about 150 W/kg which if I haven't dropped any zeroes somewhere and assuming a solid state diode pumped laser of about 35% efficiency means you need about 80 tons of solar panels per megawatt of output powernot sure you can stuff the laser into the remaining 20 tons but you certainly can't stuff the cooling system as well so it probably wouldn't work outunless you do something exotic like metal droplet cooling and vent your coolant? but then you lose the infinite ammo advantage you had over the chemical laser? idk
>>17035423I think you are wrong, at least the SN 14 Welder's filter is better against the longer wavelengths.
>>17035417You can get solar eclipse glasses for like a dollar
>>17034985At some point in the next few decades if Elon (pbuh) is still alive there will come a point when it becomes necessary to some other crazy SpaceX scheme to have much faster vacuum engines and higher interplanetary payloads—maybe the Mars colony, maybe the Dyson sphere. If some yahoos have already built it and tested it, he will just buy their company. But how would a startup test vacuum fusion drives? And why would they remain cheap after developing the product? And who would be their customers if not SpaceX?The likeliest case is that he will sigh, unzip his penis, and announce that SpaceX is going to build their own fusion drives. Tony Burno will snark post on X that he wanted to see the actual engine not a mockup, and then there will be an in space demonstration using a production engine that looks from the outside like a piece of polished steel pipe.

Elon Musk will use solar sails to transport cargo to Mars and Mercury.
>>17035241It means putting AI compute in a Dyson sphere so that the sun is a big old computerI don't think it actually requires taking a position on the possibility of machine sentience
>>17035275nice
>>17035380never heard of submarines bros, it's so fucking over!
>>17035476it could work. its 288 satellites, and a collaboration between the military and their largest telecom company. they got 32 of them up so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_1440
Here is Elon's vision for Mars>AI enabled Optimi building a colony on Mars>Occasionally missions to Mars with humans but they will always leave after a few years and are just there for "aura farming">Mars colony is self sustaining and many cool habitats have been built>Some humans settle to Mars but they won't do any work and just enjoy their lifeHIB(High Universial Income) Mars colony FTW!
>>17035448and give up the risk of permanent vision damage?where is the fun in thatyolo!
He will buy Valar from Thiel.
>>17035361he said any SpaceX employee would be able to go to the moon or mars if they wanted
>>17035387>You should look into the suicidal ideation rates of the more patriotic people.source?
>>17035520Nta but VA-reported suicide stats have been high for ages, it used to be a talking point in the news but went away because people don't seem to actually care whatsoever.
>>17035525Why are you using "patriotic people" and vets synonymously? retard
>>17035528Fuck you too then.
>
I wonder how much religion will play a role in Mars colonization. I guess it is comforting to think after you die you will be in heaven and when they are still getting a bit crazy there are at least some imaginary laws which keeps them from suiciding or hurting others. And for the atheist I guess it will be really depressive to realize that small habitats will be from now on their life and there is a good chance that they will live their absolutely last moments of their existence there against their will and when they go crazy and them not wanting this life anymore, what would prevent them from suiciding or attempting to hurt others?
