>>17072441As if white men weren't being sucked dry by migrants, now soientists want to rob us blind.
>>17072394Why did they make dick and balls?
>>17072448Because they are perverted. "Homo Erectus" is being taught to children, despite being gay propaganda.
>>17072418Which is why you should leave.

>Elon has called for zelensky to be removed from powerbye bye starlink Ukraine
>>17072461Jewlensky time is up
>>17072461Is Elon now regurgitating whatever Trump says? The SI shit might be the most retarded decision he has done yet.
>>17072463He's a liberal, he exists to be bullied by others.
>>17072461
>>17072461>>17072462Boring-ass theatrics. Nothing will happen.
>>17072461None of the deep strikes use Starlink.
LM12 supposedly about to start launching twice per monthhttps://m.weibo.cn/detail/5352758125528333
>>17072482Ukraine uses Starlink for many purposes, so it would still be a means of leverage. Also, Starlink is used for strikes in international waters and up to ~100km from Ukraine's recognized border (using relays)
Why split the general, there's two threads upRegardless, posting it againThe latest iteration of memedrive (electrostatic T-blade thruster based off Exodus Propulsion Technologies patents) kinda works.But how?https://youtu.be/qfcZ90zcFjQ?is=mZYLri78sTsiYxJg [Open]
>>17072399I’m pretty sure tv shows exist. not sure why anyone wouldnt believe in them.
wtf Thomas Zuburchen is now at BO. Gaaaaay
According to Grok, the starship that'll eventually go to Mars (and even close by to the Moon), will have to undergo a big redisign, with insulation to prevent the lox and methane from boiling off by the sun's heat in the vacuum (or paradoxically, freezing over). So why isn't spacex doing the current tests with that insulated version already? The current configuration is only useful for delivering starlink sats. After that version is perfected, will we have to wait for another 15+ test flights with the new one?
>>17072493Because they still haven't got the Raptor 3s working, you know, the fundamental part of a fucking rocket.
>>17072493Because Mars starship is not happening anytime soon.
>>17072486>Ukraine uses Starlink for many purposeswrong>Starlink is used for strikeswrongit's actually impressive how completely uninformed you are
>>17072461If he cuts paying customers SpaceX stock goes to 50 bucks.
>>17072493Engines and heat shield still barely work. It's years before it's Mars ready. BO is unironically going to murder SpaceX for a year or two.
>>17072488Frognigger tried and miserably failed to split the general by posting that garbage imitationof an OP.
>>17072467>angry zigger fantasizing about false equivalences only he believes in.Kek its funny how a politician standing up for what’s right completely mindbroke all the nihilistic zero-sum zegroids.
>>17072462Putin is a jew, this mindbreaks you.
>>17072463Yes and it's fucking pathetic. It's going to be so funny watching his fanboys cope through the entire next year. And I say this as someone who used to really believe in him.
>>17072461>Europe now ban starlink in Europe ooops
>>17072486They reduced Starlink usage massively. The still use it for some things but mostly because they have a bunch of them other countries paid for. Europe now has a large sat network specifically for this conflict.
Musk desperately needs a tard wrangling gf or wife
>>17072522Could actually happen if AST is working next year. Governments prefer them over Starlink.
>>17072522They don't even have the balls to block Twitter
>>17072527Ukraine not having starlink is a far bigger issue than x, which they also use to push their message
>>17072527There are no real twitter alternatives. Normies would riot. Starlink is going to have multiple alternatives very fast.
>>17072532no it wont
>>17072532lol good joke thanks
>>17072532it already has in Europe because network coverage is almost 100%, nobody actually need starlink here
>>17072533>>17072535Cute cope.
>>17072532>Normies would riot.Nah
>>17072538It's nice to have alternative, but yeah, mobile network here is accessible almost 100%
>>17072532>very fast
>>17072557Next year is kinda fast.
>>17072549They did in the past over ACTA.

>A retired NASA engineer who had worked on the Space Shuttle program for 25 years was hired by SpaceX at age 62. He described the first week as the most disorienting experience of his professional life.>At NASA, a design change required 3 meetings, 2 committees, a review board, and 6 to 18 months of documentation. At SpaceX, his new supervisor said "if it works, build it. If it doesn't, change it by Friday.">He sat at his desk after the first day and called his wife. He told her he felt like a man who had been swimming with ankle weights for 25 years and someone just cut them off. He could move. He could decide. He could build something in the morning and test it in the afternoon. The constraint that he had accepted as the nature of aerospace engineering turned out to be the nature of bureaucracy.>Within 6 months he had contributed to more design iterations than he had completed in his last 5 years at NASA. Not because he was working harder. Because the time between having an idea and testing the idea collapsed from months to hours. The same brain. The same knowledge. A different operating system.>The engineer's name was Albert Einstein
>>17072731not reading all that
>>17072725>Please make your business a valid military target by operating where you don't have a license
>>17072734its a shitpost anyway
>>17072735Happened in Iran
>>17072737Iran doesn't have ASAT capability... yet
>>17072738So what? Proxy strikes on the homeland are already reason enough. Hence why the USSR didn't provide North Vietnam with ICBM knock-down kits and why the USA didn't provide the Mujahideen with Tomahawk knock-down kits. Putin clearly doesn't want to allow direct strikes on NATO assets no matter the provocations, he would apparently rather to stall for time, presumably because he wants to stockpile Oreshnik missiles and/or to avoid helping the French political establishment before elections.

>>17072725>>17072735>>17072737Starlink does not operate in Russia because it is illegal for Starlink to operate in Russia, Ukraine cannot ask SpaceX to unilaterally violate American law.
>>17072750It's also illegal for Starlink to operate in Iran
>>17072746imagine you show this to a person 20 years ago, telling them that this is the future of spaceflightthey'd be confused as fuck
>China will perform a 3 core recovery before SpaceXLet that sink in.

>>17072753there's a reason why falcon heavy only flew a few times, and it wasnt because of reusability
>>17072753>copies something without reasonAt least put a bigger fairing.
>>17072753isn't that a pretty bad idea energetically?the core stage will need to carry so much more fuel since it's a lost faster and further down range than the boostersthat weight comes from the payload
>>17072751It is not illegal under American law for Starlink to operate in Iran.

>>17073363Why
>Tereshkova became the first woman in space when she was launched on Vostok 6 in 1963 and has been considered a Soviet/Russian hero/heroine ever since, but this overlooks how her in-flight performance was less than outstanding. She had some difficulties following directions from mission controllers, complained of cramps, and did not keep proper flight logs. After the spacecraft touched down, Tereshkova scrambled to write down all the flight logs she didn't write while in orbit and also disobeyed medical orders by eating outside food offered to her by villagers near the landing site. Soviet reports of the mission derided her performance in sometimes misogynistic language, and a 1980s official atlas of the Soviet space program rated her performance on the flight as merely adequate rather than good or excellent.>Although the United States had also trained women astronauts during this period, that was cancelled and no further women went into space for the next 20 years.

In a suspected act of sabotage, 11 out of 17 antennas of a "secret" Starlink gateway near Sofia, Bulgaria were set on fire by two masked men. The Bulgarian Ministry of Interior has not confirmed the incident yet. Four weeks ago an arson attack was carried out against a gateway in Poland. At this point in time the two countries are on heightened alert but do not encourage baseless speculation.

>>17074190Grok?The Tesla Roadster is slated to feature an optional SpaceX Package that equips the electric supercar with cold-gas thrusters.How It Works: The system uses ultra-high-pressure compressed air or nitrogen stored at around 10,000 PSI in a composite-overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) that replaces the rear seats.Thruster Layout: Approximately 10 small, non-combustion cold-gas nozzles are placed around the exterior of the vehicle.Acceleration: Rear-facing thrusters push past traditional tire-grip limits to help target a 0–60 mph time of under 1.1 seconds.Handling & Braking: Side- and directional-mounted thrusters provide active force for sharper cornering, stability, and braking.Hovering/Lifting: The system is engineered to provide momentary or short-duration lift-off capabilities.Grok -- is everything okay at home?
If you're wondering. Grok?Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in exactly one second results in an average horizontal acceleration of about 3 g.The peak launch acceleration of the Space Shuttle was... 3 g.To shreds you say?

SpaceX Thruster Package: Speculated to cost significantly more, pushing total prices into the $420,000 to $690,000+ range depending on options.Grok, we can take you to a woman's shelter where you'll be safe
>>17074167Just a reminder that the most recent 26x v3 Starlink sats have more bandwidth than the entire planned LEO constellation.
>>17074217Seriously, do they? I'm not being facetious, I just just find that very hyperbolic. Is there an oficial analysis showing the capability of both?
>>17074222Grok?Nope!early-stage deployment of Starlink V3 (26 satellites) adds 26 Tbps, and Amazon Leo (Project Kuiper) provides about 396 Tbps across its currently deployed satellites
>>17074222Double checked the math. 26x v3s = ~728 leo satellites, not the entire constellation.1x v3 = 1Tbps1x leo = ~36GbpsThe math might be a little off in reality as leo is pretty dodgy about how much backhaul they actually have publicly.
>>17074227That would mean a leo sat is 1:1 with a v3, which is false.Leo does not have 1Tbps per sat
>>17074230Grok?military testing.Ultra Terminal: Enterprise-grade 20" x 30" phased-array antenna delivering full speeds up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps uploadThis whole subject involves specific hardware configuration. Please don't cherry pick.
>>17074232Excellent. They focused 1/36 of a sats bandwidth in a test on a single target. Thats not really saying much, is also cherry picking.
I want spacex to succeed with starship for two reasonsthe endless seethingandso i can see a heavy lift rocket launch without needing to worry about scrubs or postponementsif one's launching every week or quicker, seeing one would require a trivial amount of forethought
>>17074234 >They focused sat bandwidth in a test on a single target! No fair! Elon save me!You seem surprised about how cell networks work.
>>17074239All im saying is for Starlink to do the same test it would only require 1/1000 of its capacity
>>17074239I'm all for competition, I really want Leo and other constellations to succeed, even Chinese ones (because that'll benefit me as a costumer), but I do agree with the other anon that this test seems a little bit too good to be true. I'm not saying they faked the results, but the test seems to have been made on ideal circumstances and was very specific. We all know that a company that wants to sell a project will inflate its features. Time will tell when they launch more sats, for me it's all speculation right now
>>17074117Sort of looks like starship is wearing an American flag thong
>>17074272>Sort of looks like starship is wearing an American flag thongAnon... You don't want to fuck rockets, do you?

Was brain rotting on YouTube shorts. Came a across a video that said would take $5 billion to add AC to all their subway stations. Then found this comment.Found it rather humorous
>>17074189Gotta love that shannon capacity
https://x.com/relativityspace/status/2110071949921759657I have questions,
>>17074294Could be niobium, perhaps.

>>17074307>It could be the image quality but the Aeon nozzle looks very angular.I'm guessing they don't try to get it fully in-round until they've welded all the nozzle faces together.
>>17074307>The oils on your hands contaminate the surface.But the tape's glue doesn't?
Uh oh stinky
>>17074347based if true
>>17074307He can't keep getting away with it
>>17074350Shouldn't have used quotation marks for Do Not Touch.
>>17074347-50% soon.
>>17074167Why is anyone surprised? Elon is not a reliable partner for governments or military. Imagine if retard cuts your Starlink during war because of mean tweet or something. They used him only because there were no alternatives. This is also why Elon is terrified of AST. They have much better tech and it's patented for 10 years. Once AST and BO constellations start working next year Starlink is fucked.
>>17074350Is this way gateway rusted?
>>17074347Should be a reminder to all the European airliners that unless their countries pledge eternal allegiance to Zion their service might experience problems.
>hurt Trump's feelings>Elon turns off your internet
>>17074347Being at war is no excuse for exceeding speed limits
Upside to all of this is that Elon probably not getting license to operate in India now.
>>17074418he might also getting banned in all of the EU lol
>>17074137So what? It's not like it's going to explode
>>17074347Agent Krasnov obeying muscovite orders again? Sad.
I’m hanging it up and never following space-related news ever again if MMX fails
other American constellations would probably restrict Ukraine too. it would be a blanket order by trump.
>>17074490>Trump is considering cutting intelligence sharing with Ukraine, with one administration official telling Semafor that "Trump is pretty pissed off."
I'm starting to think SpaceX stock is like if Tesla had IPO in 2023 at 800 billion. And Starship could be the space industry Cybertruck. Next year will be wild.
Starcyber if you will.
>The stupid posts upthreadCall it: fantasizing by seething Europeans who are stung by both the political winds and the tides of technological change that they haven't been able to keep up with, or Russian baiting which is full of seethe for similar reasons?
>>17074189when are they turning on roman?
>>17074490Firefly, Rocket Lab and AST have government level deals in Europe in Japan. SpaceX only has something similar with UK.
>>17074521When you take a break from /sfg/
SpaceX dropping below 150 today.
>>17074563No worries, we are still well within LEO regime with that
Holy shit OHB +10% today.
Starlink ground station in Bulgaria was attacked. Probably by Bulgarians paid by Russia, but could also be EDS people.https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/1x5sp41/ua_pov_burning_starlink_antennas_near_of_sofia/
I hope that by the time I save up money for the trip to the US, Starship will be launching at least once a month.
the amount of cope on reddit about iris2 being a legit alternative to starlink is maddening

https://x.com/NASAAdmin/status/2109026601887293773Out of everything that could be on the 2026 bingo card, I'm pretty sure "NASA Administrator loses it over Redditors" wasn't even considered.

>>17074698That's an interesting way to spin the Admin telling you to stop being retarded David.
>>17074698R D S
>>17074618Probably paid by the Bulgarian government itself. It doesn't matter, since traffic is easily rerouted. It only makes sense as a false flag.
>>17074418Indian regulators are likely far more concerned with what happened in Iran, that Starlink might be kept on even if they order SpaceX to turn it off

>Tesla Roadster with the exclusive SpaceX Cold Gas PackageInstead of building his promised Mars Transport, Elon is dicking around building literal Fartmibiles.
>>17074744does it fly or not?
>>17074744This demo is gonna be underwhelming af. And it wont even be sold to customers. And it will never cover its development cost
>>17074709Indian gov is interested in protecting the local Indian telcoms.
>>17074747Elon on shrooms drifting in circiles until he loses control and power slides into the crowd
>>17074751This would make the development costs worth it

>>17074760Electric bald spot cope sportscars are plentiful and Elon has made his brands toxic to the majority of the public. Tough to sell a million dollar toy car in that market. Same issue with Elons space ISP and cell phone provider. Lots of alternatives.
>>17074765>lots of alternativeslol, lmao even
>>17074769Is your ISP Starlink? Answer truthfully.
>>17074770do you have a sportscar?
>>17074747there is the distinct possibility that a COPV will be liberated into the audience
>>17074765>Elon has made his brands toxic to the majority of the public.That's literally just a terminally online thing. Go talk to any normie and they won't give a shit.
>>17074778Grok?According to the latest tracking data from Decision Desk HQ, Musks average national favorability sits at roughly 36.5% Favorable against 50.1% Unfavorable.And that was before he decided to side with Russia against Ukraine. Elon is a toxic brand
>>17074778yeah. jews love Mercedes

>>17074756>cold gas>clones of starship thrusterWhatHow...Huh?????
>>17074800Tesla with nitrogen fart "thrusters". Just Elon trying to be a memelord again and failing.
>>17074801If I was going to put air propulsion on a car it would probably be a downward facing jet engine for more tire tractionI think there were some concept meme cars that did this
>>17074800Grok?>Musk also mentioned that the car’s onboard computer could potentially spin up the wheels/electric motors to orient the Roadster in the air. Then Elon hit me. He hit me real hard!
>>17074782Gork?Yes it seems this person is getting his data from the Nafo subreddit. While there is some unfavorable news over Elon Musk this has had little effect on the sales numbers. The model Y is still one of the best selling sedan placing second or first several years running
>>17074802Dunno about that, but there is a small britbong racing car manufacturer that uses electric fans to suck the cars down. The name eludes me because it's fucking late.More drag doesn't necessarily mean more speed though.

The rocketlab situation is so funny. Sad. But funny.
>>17074833a water tower? in the middle of a field? insane
rocketlab would be #1 if spacex didn't exist
>>17074841not so fast
>>17074849Blue Who, the king of two, the screw and glue of dung and poo, with nothing new and a jew who will sue, who flew and blew a fuse or two; if they but knew a Musk or a Xu, they could conjure a crew with a flag and a shoe. But too few, from their zoo, could meet with NASA and woo. So instead, they are second, waiting in queue.
>>17074833I didn't realize they also used hobbits to construct the rockets.I guess it's fitting to use a fictional race to build a fictional rocket. Perhaps they can power it with magic as well.
What happened here
>>17074856tidal caldera/crater expanse, cooled slowly from melt of gravitational tension - or maybe an impact from things moving chaotically inward during the early solar system and it left a huge surface crater that impacted local structural geology idk
