will the booster do a smooth water landing or not?
>>17062532will i insert into your ass smoothly or not?
nobody is talking about how V3 is going to change the world. it's super starlink and has AI for grok.

STARLINK DEPLOYED
Deployin' sats
I love how the general consensus is that Elon told them to go for orbit, gotta stop pussyfooting around.
>>17063227the sats are worth more than the ship
I can't wait to see the view as it passes back over Starbase in a while.

multiple flights now and they still cant resolve the engine issuesit's clearly beyond them, and this is never happening, sorry
>>17063353Justified True Belief is a definition of knowledge that requires a belief to have two properties, justification and to be true, to qualify as knowledge.Claiming that a known fact must be true is consistent with the JTB definition, but doesn't strictly imply it.

is 275km normal for Starlink sats? seems a little low
>>17063506I'm pretty sure these are supposed to deorbit after 60 days.
https://x.com/SpaceX/status/2104576268624892244
>>17063519no they aren't, these are operational>>17063506they get launched into lower orbits on purpose so if the guidance or engines etc fails on them they deorbit passivelyif things work as intended then the krypton ion engines raise the orbit gradually
>>17063456Ship-catch-on-the-next-flight bros...
>>17063528Going to loop around the planet once more then nose down and call it a night.
>>17063531>no they aren't, these are operationalIt was in the FCC filling.

What is difficult to understand about "operational for 60 days"?
>>17063528Not a full 10 hour flight, but still damn good.

>>17063395>claiming that a known fact must be trueif it is not true, then it is not a known fact, but a known lie.in this case, it is a known lie, therefore there is no truth to accept.
>>17063602correct, on it's first orbital attempt, starship succeeded.naysayers can do naught but cope.
https://x.com/SpaceX/status/21045881114226278494min clip about the deorbit burn
>>17063649>in this case, it is a known lie, therefore there is no truth to accept.No, in the phrase "known lie" what is known is the fact that a claim is a lie. For it to be a lie in the first place the claim that it is a lie must be true.You probably won't realize this but I just dunked on you.
>>17063658i thought this was supposed to run for 10hrs?
>>17063667They are ahead of schedule
>>17063664>the claim that it is a lie must be trueand it is a lie>>17063304>investors know this is basically a failureis two lies, the mission being a failure is objectively a lie, and the investors "knowing" this lie as if it is truth, is also a lie.you have not dunked on anyone but yourself, you are also a liar.
>>17063667They are running out of fuel.
>>17063667There are power problems apparently.They are even reducing the amount of video streams.Something in the power stream likely died and running off redundancy
>>17063677At first I thought you were joking but the engine out would have used more fuel on ascent and now boil off is pushing them to the point of no return.
>>17063683>100 tons to orbit>still not enough batteries to run for 10 hours
>>17063667Conservative contingency deorbit. It means they can't get as much long duration systems testing in, but they decided it's better safe than sorry due to the extra propellant burned from losing that one RVAC and boiloff being a continuous thing in orbit.
>>17063683They said they were powering down stuff to test various low power states. Is this something else?
>>17063667maybe they used too much extra propellant with the engine outs so they aren't confident they have enough margin to keep it in orbit (and venting propellants) for 10h
>>17063667The best time is no time
>>17063689getting to orbit and keeping cryogenic fuel cold in orbit for a long period of time are separate problems
Refueling depot solves this
but sfg told me that boil off is a meme
Just tell the fuel not to boil off, yell if you have to.
boil off is the great filter

How was it?Couldn't watch the launch because I was at work.
>>17063857Stuff failed, starlinks got into orbit
>>17063857pretty neat. they only did 2 of the 6 orbits tho
>>17063857One RVac failed at the end of the first burn, so they initially scrubbed orbit, but then 2 minutes of nailbiting and "WAIT WAIT WAIT" the Go was given and they went to orbit.
>>17063857Very cool view from a deployed Starlink of Starship in daylight.
Look, elon, you are very smart and very crafty. But for the love of God let’s stop pretending twitter (nobody calls it “X” btw) is some magic everything-app with infrastructure for fun live streaming.Youtube is for convenient streaming to normies, nigga…

Its nominal design lifetime was 15 years, so it has been operating for more than a decade beyond this point.

>>17063858>>17063859>>17063861>>17063863>>17063869Thanks, it looks like a pretty exciting launch.I still find it weird that they needed 14 attempt, but at least it finally happened. Hope I'll be able to watch the catch attempt.One more thing, what's up with recent Booster splashdown? They already caught it a few times in the past so why waste them?
>>17063886blame canada, blame canada.everything's gone wrong since canada came along.

You get 100tons payload 1 km/s delta-v, use it or double it and give it to the next person. Will /sfg/ be able to go orbital?
Will starship ever carry maximum payload or will it always have safety margin in case raptors decide to stop working?
>>17063929double it. 200 tons with 1km/s
>>17063932Double it. 200 tons with 2 km/s delta-v
>>17063935Double it, 4km/s D/V
>>17063936Use it to nuke India
>>17063938that didn't last long but it's for a good cause.
>>17063938Is 4 km/s delta-v enough to nuke Indian from America?
>>17063945fuuuuuck, guys we got to greedy, we need at least 7 km/s to reach india.once again, /sfg/ is retarded.

Was this the last launch of the month? I don't see anything scheduled until the trio of SpaceX launches on the 1st.
Do you use grok bot now for fantasy football teams like that SpaceX guy?
Why don't we put life support on that thing and send a couple of nasa astroniggas on a venereal flyby?
Are raptors the problem or systems feeding the raptors?
>>17064003Please do not feed the raptors.
Raptor's clogged.
>>17064003overconfident engineersfull flow staged combustion is a nice science experiment and sure it's a little bit more efficientbut efficiency isn't the name of the game when it's about reusable engines
We orbital now
>>17064015welcome to the club
>>17064003>>17064011I think autogenous pressurization is the issue, not full flow staged combustion.
>>17064016>explode
holy shit that TWR is insaaaaane. Watching some launch footage and it almost looks like it’s being played at 2x speed lol
>>17064019V1 could barely lift it's ass from the pad. I wonder how much current version could carry with all engines working.
>>17064017If autogenous pressurization is to blame, it's their specific implementation of it that taps the preburners for hot gas instead of using a heat exchanger to keep the ullage gas pure and free of combustion products, like water and CO2, that freeze when exposed to the liquified propellants.
>>17064026They were super conservative about how many engines to light at the same time as well as throttling up.Current version just yolos it and goes balls deep from the start.
so how many gorillions of dollars will a couple dozen of these sats make every year?

>>17064099he's not alone, i remember having this argument on a different board a few years ago, there was a small group of retards genuinely insisting that the few extra seconds of burntime needed to get to orbit was withheld for genuine lack of ability, rather than the fact that it's the fucking flightplan. these people are genuinely this retarded, it's not a joke, they really mean it when they confidently come up with bullshit like this.
>still can't complete an orbital missionKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Remember neutron?
>>17064110>was withheld for genuine lack of abilityYeah, they didn't have the ability to go to orbit safely.
https://www.spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-14
>>17064113but starship did have the ability to go to orbit energywise, which is the part that actually matters.if that's everyone's only gripe, rather than a pathetic thing they slide back on when called out, then there's no need to claim the program is a farce "because it can't get to orbit", since in-space relight was only ever going to be a matter of time.no, most of these fags genuinely thought starship just didn't have the delta-v to get to orbit.
>>17064120>wyeeeell they could've gone to orbit, they just couldn't K This is the same semantic cope that NASA/Boeing shills were using when Shartliner got astronauts stuck on the ISS. >ermm ACSTHUALLY they can leave whenever they want

>>17064032
>>17064110>>17064120There might be a chance it was legitimately the case that V1/V2 (especially V1) was massively overweight. I still think the biggest issue at the end of the day was risk with such a massive rocket and the continuously modified propulsion system and RCS/gas management. No level of trust or confidence could be gathered in the V1/V2 era because it was outdated when not even on the launchpad yet.V3 is final. The whole point is you trust this design.>>17064123Starliner could have left. It left under its own power and reentered safely. It was purely risk management to not do so in a non-emergency.

With SeX, China and small launcher companies developments are we coming back to a golden era of space again? maybe not this year or the next, but in 5 ?

When launch
>>17064254there will be an FAA mishap investigation first that will take a few months to complete
>>17064254Mishap=2 month delay. They'll have to fix whatever caused the rvac to fail
>pending regulatory approval>this is why you test>only the paranoid survivecursed spaceflight phrases
so the booster nuked the launch pad? cya in 2028 for the next launch

Uh this looks bad
>>17064278can't get it up (to orbit)
>>17064194>don't invite him to the event>he shows up at your door with a piece of your rocketAwkward
>>17064278it’s warped from the heat. there’s no hammering that thing back to straight.

>>17064228Stocks don't exist in a vacuum, markets were largely down today and SPCX is traded in the major index funds. Also hedgies messing around waiting for the fomo retard herd options to expire by using the HFT algos to pin the stock in a tight range for a day.
>>17064096Holy melty
>>17064304At least he has the courage of his convictions
>>17064304Wait isn't that a reference to the guy who made a script way back in youtube comments that replied something like that, and some dude replied to it every-time and he gets madder and madder?
let this sink in
>>17064309we were promised ̶1̶5̶0̶ 100 tons
post something cute
>>17064304who
>>17064278somebody shop a hand gripping it by the base
>>17064304lol he blocked me
>>17064313
>>17064322similar vibes
which V3 starship launch will be the first to work flawlessly?
how do we solve the vtrooner problem?
>>17064332Do they also shave their pubes in space?
>>17064310what do you need to send 50 tons to orbit for?
>>17064325Not this year
>>17064343High bandwidth telecomms. Space based compute. Space based solar. In the future, orbital construction.
>>17064309counting the entire upper stage as deployed mass is retarded and you know itcounting a converted upper stage as deployed mass is equally retardedif you want to add the weight of starship to the number given for the sats, go ahead
>>17064003the raptors are fine, but there are too many of them and they shake each other apart with sound wavesStarship needs bigger engines and fewer of them
>>17064358no, we need to keep the masonic number
>>170643607 is also a masonic number
>>17064361that is the pleb version. superheavy needs the grandmaster rank
>>17064364just give it 33 verniers or some shit
>>17064309Energia was so based
>>17064379I used to think Buran Energia was a paper rocket like the other space vaporware Russia says they're gonna do, or like the N1 where it didn't work or was just a mockup. Imagine my astonishment when I finally read about it and found out it actually worked perfectly and then they just put it in a warehouse for 30 years until it rotted away
>>17064194cuck behavior
>>17064380Buran was a classic solution in search of a problem type thingtoo bad about Energia, fantastic launch vehicle
>>17064217>>17064245Why does anyone using "skeptic" in their handle are insufferable neckbeards channeling the worst of late 2000s Youtube atheist energy?
350 milly isn't as bad as I thought it would be to get Boeing to do their job
>>17064354I would say it counts in Energia's case since the Buran didn't fire its engines and was dead weight (ie. payload) on the way up. Which is why Skylab counts but Apollo doesn't
>>17064386But how much have they spent on it already, not to mention wasting money and time on ULA's dead-end rocket.
>>17064280The error was fixed before the launch.
>>17064358>they shake each other apart with sound wavesProblem solved
>>17064358Just run adjacent raptors 180 degrees out of phase

Welp
>>17064416These people are legitimately not considering that people will just do something because it's cool and they want it, even if it shouldn't make sense according to some metrics of price to comfort etc. Everybody is primed by sci-fi in some way, ironically these "super serious" gen x hard science lovers the most, and they have a blind spot for that
>>17064416let me guess, its about surface habitats?
>>17064396ackchually you need to de-tune them>apparently a whole space company full of space engineers can't see what I seedoes this mean I'm smart?

>spacex cant allow an orbital starship to be out of controlwhat happens if it does go out of control for some reason? and its full of fuel and people. and its about to crash into densely populated area?
why arent there any views of flight 14 from the ground? surely people saw a big bright object in the night sky?
>>17064508None of that happened though, ranjeet.
>>17064535They forgot to have grok generate shots like that
>>17064532then its going to be bad, but the later that happens the better
>>17064498>dunc music with woman screaming playing
>>17064532How about a kill switch, that blows up the ship to smithereens in the atmosphere when they realized there's nothing they can do to stop it from falling onto a populated area? Yes, the people onboard would be killed, but they signed off to it and knew the risks. It would be less of a scandal than killing innocent civilians on the ground (which would lead to severe restrictions and lawsuits).
>>17064561it already exists. it's the FTS. I was wondering though...what if it fails? what if all the fail-safes fail?
>>17064123Holy projection, spaceman
I clown in tory bruno a lot but the cowboy hard had is tuff
>>17064562What if an airplane falls? What if a truck crashes? Sometimes things happen, then people look at it like damn that's crazy but then we just keep doing it
>>17064388>Buran didn't fire its engines and was dead weight (ie. payload) on the way up.You sure? I thought Energia tossed it in a suborbital trajectory, with a circularizing burn left up to Buran.
>>17064570>but then we just keep doing itThat's different in Elon's case, because he has the whole (((establishment))) against him. An accident from any other company could be slipped under the rug, but you know that if that happened to spacex they'd do anything in their power to cripple the company. See the FAA
>>17064570fighter jets are sent to shoot down passenger aircraft here in the US
>>17064179>russia is ramping uprussia is pretty much irrelevant in space and will sadly continue to deteriorate over time as their legacy infrastructure breaks down and their old soviet engineers pass on.

>>17064304new /sfg/ meme
>>17064358How about 12m starship with the same number of engines, so just bigger raptors?
>>17064574>he has the whole (((establishment))) against himretarded "chud"Most of his backers/big investors are Jewish or aligned with Jewish interests
>>17064508he said 4 words and you just completely collapsed LMAO.
>>17064584would run into the same issue
>>17064256It's been 24 hours and not a peep from the FAA. They usually launch an investigation within hours.ergo, WE GAAN
Kill all j*urnos
>>17064601Nobody ever beats these people up and that's why they feel free to be such huge pieces of shit every single day.
>>17064601>>17064604there's just no way to sugarcoat this
What will the journos say after the first flawless flight happens?
>>17064525>>17064601>>17064604>>17064608On a scale from 1-10, how asshurt are you about journalists doing journalist things?
