I have returned, with gifts from the past.
I have been ignoring /sfg/ for a year now, but i'm drunk and bored, so let's post some old shit from before all you newfags came along.

this looks to be the oldest filename i've got
>>17084056bro!
only two more weeks for ship catch
i miss the old /sfg/
What could have been...
my oldest Clear
one of the earliest i found, not sure if it was from a sfg thread though
The original Neutron.
>>17084040>I have returned, with gifts from the past.Remember when the catch tower was first announced and /sfg/ went crazy with speculation on how it would look?Good times.
I still want the aliens finding space telescope, dammit

>>17084078I kind of went overboard with it all. It was (and still is) an absurd path to take.
Elon vs. Jeff, the greatest rivalry of our time. Now racing to be the first to have his lander ready for Artemis IV.
>>17084081Imagine if space force gets ULA an exemption to buy russian engines.
This was back from when the skylon engine was not dead yet.
>>17084080yeah, neutron is going to be obsolete on arrivalbut should still have plenty of business because SpaceX has found even more stuff to launch for themselves (way more)at this point the only reason SpaceX would have to launch other payloads on Starship is to basically stop the talk about launch monopoly, but paradoxically that makes it more difficult for other launch competitors to actually get higher margins from launch I guess SpaceX could price external Starship mass to orbit just slightly below whatever Neutron et al price it at

>>17084170He's always been like that, really. There's a section near the end of Reentry where he's just hand-wringing about Elon turning politically inconvenient. Bad Take Berger shows up rarely but is always lurking beneath the surface.Despite this, he remains the best space journo.

>If the Democrats win one or both houses of Congress, Politico is reporting that on top of their agenda is to wage lawfare against Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla and the world’s richest man. The gavels are warming up for a myriad of investigations into Musk and his businesses. Such a move could have profound effects on American space policy and politics, particularly the Artemis return to the moon program.Payback is a cold bitch.
>>17084387>political party aims to stymie US spaceflight as a whole out of a petty personal distaste for a man and his companiesCan Elon buy the democrats like he did with twitter? Just buy them out and fire everybody.>inb4 you can't just buy a political partylolololol
>>17084387>Payback is a cold bitch.payback for what exactly ?
>>17084383and other fantasies you can tell yourself.
>>17084390>a glut of alleged conflicts of interests members cited as ripe for oversight, as Musk’s companies like SpaceX and Tesla rake in multibillion dollar federal contracts and subsidies.Plus Ukraine, Doge, political donations, social media and more. Long list. Stock up on microwave popcorn and enjoy the show.
>>17084394>government contractor rakes in government contractsSAY IT AINT SO!wait, so, you're telling me, t-that the people who the government buys things from, get paid?!?!?!?!we need to do something now, stop the government from buying things this instant!
>>17084394so musk bad because he supported trump and help dismantle the DNC money laundering machine and I should enjoy watch the trans commie destroy American space futureok bro
>>17084394You some kind of fag or something?
>>17084387What I'm hearing is that even if Elon spends $500 billion against Democrats he'd still come out ahead
>>17084397>SpaceX has received approximately $27.25 billion in federal prime contract obligations from fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2026, according to USAspending.gov dataTo the largest Republican donor in history. Perfectly valid to investigate that for corruption and other malfeasance.
>>17084403I know you tiny comie brain cannot understand basic economics but that money was paid to launch stuff in space, which spaceX did are we going o investigate the billion paid for a non existing train in comiefornia ? oh that's right they passed a law against investigating that LAMO
>>17084403I think you might just be evil.A rotted soul with a blackened heart, dripping with malevolent bile. A monster, in so many words.
>>17084403which is...absolutely tiny compared to many other government contractors who...aren't under suspicion despite getting waaaaay more contract money from the government over the same timespan?doesn't sound reasonable at all, sounds more like a targeted attack.
>>17084403Since we're playing political clairvoyance, I guess you are convinced that there won't be any drawback, second hand enimity or consequence from hunting down a giant of the JudeoAmerican tech world.And in your head it's going to play out smoothly like a Chinese operation to bring down to heel and disappear some misbehaving necessary evil of their own corporate Capitalist class.
>>17084421The walls are closing inhttps://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/10/20/congress/dem-gavels-elon-musk-01127662
>>17084421I doubt even tech world heads would care if elon was gone.
>>17084387like they waged lawfare with the previous administration? yes, the democrats are a menace, that is why Musk had to start funding the republicans in the first place
>>17084428Maybe if he wasn't retarded and didn't bribe only one side.
>>17084424they aren't.
>>17084432he did that but the democrats started attacking him anyway
>>17084437It all started going downhill with the twitter saga.
>>17084439it started way before that
>>17084439It's finally sinking in.
>>17084440in 2020 musk said trump needed to go then Biden refused to invite Tesla to the EV summit after taking bribes from GM and ford I think that's when he snapped
>>17084442that elon musk can no longer be stopped, yes.
>>17084081>cheap launch will never increase demand
>>17084447funny how wrong all the spacex naysayers turned out to be>H-HAH! the launch industry will never increase in size due to lowered launch prices, spacex is doomed!>nooooo spacex don't retire falcon 9 we need you don't leave us!and the only reason it's even a problem is because all of spacex's competitors are just THAT incompetent, not a single falcon 9 clone ready to take it's place despite the 11 years they've had to realize falcon 9 was the future and start copying it.
>>17084387>paybackAnon this is how democrats have been acting for years now, it is the entire reason Elon is supporting the right.
>>17084450Not like SpaceX didn't destroy competition with the bandwagon missions. They cut off possible revenue sources for some start up companies by offering service with which SpaceX barely makes any money.
It's just a leftist coping over the midterms don't feed him.
>>17084453>spacex almost went bankrupt to succeed, musk poured almost all the money he had to save it >somehow he owe anything to the competition lamo fuck off, maybe they should come up with a better product if they want the market
>>17084453Using the government to support companies who are losing in the free market is what destroys competition.
>>17084445i dont think so but certainly a contributing factori would say it was mostly the actual lawfare

>>17084463Grok?>Definition: A legislative act that singles out a specific individual or group and declares them guilty of a crime—or imposes punishment—without the benefit of a judicial trial.So...>Elon will be prosecuted and convicted by the Judicial branch. Perfectly legal.
>>17084467for what? donating to the republicans? having government contracts? you're insane
>>17084468>Fer whaaa!Investigate first then we'll see if Elon did anything criminal.
>>17084471Right, and let me guess, we should let your totally-not-biased-or-motivated camp lead the charge on this completely-neutral-and-not-at-all-biased carrying out of justice?
>>17084178She got better.
>>17084473Justice is carried out by the Judicial. Elon will have his day before a grand jury and trial jury.
>>17084489That isn't congress, which is what you said in your original post but you're just here for off topic trolling so carry on.
>>17084471thats now how it works
>>17084491Congress refers after investigating. Then the Judicial branch takes over. Learn some civics
Since Elon is Chief Engineer of SpaceX, having him spend weeks on Capital Hill instead of staying hard at work at the drafting table may seriously impact the development of Starship and other projects.
>>17084502starship is far enough along, but yes for other projects
>>17084489Right, the oh so unbiased i-hate-elon-and-want-to-execute-him jury at the lets-rape-and-kill elon trialNothing fairer in the world than that
>>17084489he won't, you are an EDSer fantasizing things.
>>17084453>outcompeting incompetent industry slackers is cheating!no, everyone should have copied what spacex was doing right after the first falcon 9 landed rather than sitting and staring in denial for 5 straight years, faggot.>with which spacex barely makes any moneywrong.
>>17084502it would have some impact, but he has other engineers working under him, he can make high level engineering decisions and he can make them from a distance because of this thing called the internet.
>>17084500Just be honest, you don't give a damn about a fair trial you just want to have him tried and convicted on some bullshit charge to strip everything he's accomplished away from him because you're a jealous and insignificant dustmote and it enrages you he's not.
>>17084515>wrong!SpaceX only made a "profit" last quarter because of AI bubble revenue. Before that, long stretch of red ink
>>17084518Been a juror on many cases and have anyway stayed true to my sworn oath. Most other jurors do too. Elon will have a fair trial.
>>17084523Any outcomes of cases you were a juror in should be overturned and a retrial should happen
>>17084523you're not lol, you're a mentally ill loser desperate for attention.>elon will have a fair trialhe won't have a trial at all, you're talking about fantasy trial that you've created inside your head.
>>17084520wrong
>>17084471You need probable cause before you can start an investigation, and then that investigation needs to provide enough evidence of possible wrong-doing to go to trial. And then, if guilt is established, the punishment has to match the conviction. When anyone starts with "he's going to jail and we're taking his companies away from him," it's a political show trial and justice has absolutely nothing to do with it.
>>17084520because they were reinvesting all the money they were making back into more growth.do you...not understand how companies work?
>>17084529There is no "probable cause" for congressional investigation. They can investigate any topic, person or group they wish. Note their investigations of comic books and music.
>>17084532Congress can investigate things, but it has zero prosecutorial authority.
>>17084534Congress refers to the Judicial as mentioned before. Highschool Civics, so you haven't learned that yet.
>>17084536Congress can recommend, but its investigatory power is meant to look for gaps in law and oversights in regulation, not to refer an entity for criminal charges. To do so anyway risks tainting the process, and is likely to lose the case on any subsequent judicial appeal. Civics.
Wasn't Elon already investigated during all of the Biden admin? what did that achieve?

>E-2 has achieved steady expander cycle mode.>In this test video, 30 seconds of expander cycle mode are demonstrated on the tail end of an 80-second test fire that began in Ox-Rich Staged Combustion (ORSC) mode. In expander mode, thrust was reduced from 23,000 lbf to 6,500 lbf, corresponding to a 28% throttle setting.>To our knowledge E-2 is the first kerolox rocket engine to demonstrate a transition from ORSC to expander cycle operation on the same hardware during a test fire, thanks to our LOX cooled combustion chamber. This low throttle capability could be useful for landing burns by reducing thrust to weight ratio and providing greater flexibility to correct deviations from the planned landing trajectory.https://x.com/launcher/status/2117412014041813464
Kinetica-2 had it's second flight an hour ago, putting up another 18 sats in one of China's constellations. With Falcon 9 exiting the market, I wonder if China will take over the commercial launch sector?

>>17084213Post his gay like lmao
>>17084943nobody else has sats that fit through the pez dispenser. The harsh reality is that SpaceX has enough internal demand that they don't need or want to sell launches to others, and they are more than ready to retire Falcon, evacuate Hawthorne, CA, and launch nothing but StarLink, StarMind, and Artemis refueling missions.
>>17085009Yes, right now Starship is optimized for Starlink, because it brings in revenue immediately. There will be variants for specific purposes like depots, Starlink, HLS. Depots will start flying in a few months, HLS will start flying late next year. Commercial payloads will get their own variant as well. It's a non issue.
>>17085014Did it come to you in a dream?
>>17084213at least they will not suffer when the engine explodes

Why is it not as easy as launching a large bus up on a FH and then individually launching giant mirror segments and assembling a giant telescope in space?The hubble successor needs to be comically huge. But I feel like just saying “erm orbital assembly” is hand waving. Surely it’s not as easy as just snapping LEGOs together

>>17085344it would have almost no delta-v, no propulsion, no navigational systems, no reaction control wheels, no solar panels.it is a vehicle built to move around and fly short hops on earth, it is not spaceflight, it is earthflight.
>>17085273Hubble's successor (HWO) will be 6-8 meters. It doesn't require assembly. The limiting factor is just how much it costs to build the thing. Studies of orbital assembly indicate it isn't much cheaper.The difficulty is that assembly of precision structures has never been demonstrated. You need the mirror segments to be phased and stable to a few nanometers. It is very hard. There are also different levels, from a almost complete modules launched separately, to a flat pack IKEA like assembly with robots. Assembly is a technology in its own right.
Our girl Rubin can't ith another firstAn international team led by researchers at Queen's University Belfast has made a discovery that has eluded astronomers for decades. Beginning in 1906, telescope observations revealed a population of asteroids leading and trailing Jupiter, which came to be known as the "Trojan" and "Greek" populations. Since then, astronomers have discovered similar "families" orbiting Saturn and Uranus, but not Neptune. Thanks to the Queen's-led team, the mystery of the missing Trojans has now been resolved

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/11/the-american-declaration-of-freedom-in-space/>It is America’s destiny to explore and expand our frontiers beyond Earth to the farthest depths of space. Today, my Administration reaffirms that our solar system and all of outer space beyond Earth are the province of all humans, and that our Nation will lead the way in the exploration, development, use, and settlement of these new frontiers — forging an interplanetary civilization founded on the enduring and inalienable rights of freedom and individual liberty.>Through the landmark Executive Orders and directives I have signed, we are reinvigorating human spaceflight, unleashing a competitive and thriving commercial space industry, and ensuring American space superiority for all eternity. We will return to the Moon by 2028, lay the foundation for a permanent American lunar presence, and hasten the day when an American becomes the first human to set foot on the red dunes of Mars. Together, we will build the facilities, develop the resources, and establish a permanent presence in space to extend the reach of American exploration, preserve our frontier spirit, and strengthen our national security for centuries to come. The nation that leads in space will shape the future of humanity — and that nation will be the United States of America.>NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim that the solar system and all of outer space beyond Earth are the province of all humans and are open to exploration, development, use, and the establishment of a permanent presence by American citizens consistent with United States law and the international obligations of the United States.

>>17085756You can do whatever you want if you don't get caught.
By combining physics-based modeling with machine-learning techniques, the new method accounts for tiny imperfections in the telescope that interfere with its ability to detect faint objects. When the team applied its method to existing JWST observations, it improved the telescope's sensitivity by up to 15 times. After the new method erased glare, it revealed a giant exoplanet in an image where conventional processing simply could not see it.The advance could enable astronomers to discover smaller, colder and fainter planets without changing the telescopes themselves.
The only election I care about is the go/no-go poll for TLI
>>17085812Depends on the magic system of your world but overall I’d say yeah. Harry potter establishes that you can fly on brooms and breathe underwater. Not too far fetched to say one could fly in space and cast some “atmospherio” spell (or whatever) to give them a pocket of air around them or something.Or take someone like Gandalf. He can’t fly on his own volition. But he has vague powers including magical and grandiose fireworks. I would take this in the direction of a wizard being able to build a steampunk style closed carriage, air tight, and it runs on some sort of magical propulsion system that flies it around the sky and the outer atmosphere and up into space
With Tesla both headquartered and incorporated in Texas, it can now use special “business courts” instituted by Abbott at Musk’s own urging. If cases from these courts are appealed, they go to the 15th Court of Appeals, a court created by Abbott and filled with 3 hand-picked judges, intended to reduce the chance that a Democratic district court (say, one in Austin, whereTesla is headquartered) gets final say on any issue.Guess which court just had all three judges flip to Blue?
>>17085812You can go to space without magic, so yes, a wizard would be theoretically able to go to space. Whether magic could be used to help with this is another matter, and it depends on the magic system.

>>17085848It's a replacement not a gender bend fag boi
>>17085816I never read the books so I'm not all that familiar with the Harry Potter magic system. But was there ever a height restriction where brooms or flying cars became unstable?I guess in Arcanum it would impossible since magic and technology do not mix. If a magic user even gets close to technology it starts to destroy itself.
>>17085851Nta but altitude would be restricted by breathability and temperature, wouldn't it? Assuming infinite energy for ascent, eventually you'd get light-headed and cold like Lawnchair Larry. A magic broomstick could, in theory, deliver a frozen student to LEO.(10 points for Gryffindor)
>>17085812wizards should not coexist with space. they may be able to astral plane flight, but space flight as we know it should not be a thing in a world with wizards.
>>17085764it won't, this is another piece of delusional fanfiction.
>>17085847
>>17085858>>17085857hivemind, my image is better though.
>>17085852>Assuming infinite energy for ascentI suppose that's where it might fail. Using magic does seem to use some sort of energy. They probably would get tired well before they reach orbit. Perhaps if they use a large enough broom to hold multiple wizards you could have them jump off once they get tired.
Anyone have the image or the fantasy space knights and their “ship” has severed dragon heads as propulsion engines?
>>17085862I gotchu>>17085860Are the wizards or the brooms the energy source? I don't know harry potter stuff. Either way you could stage the spent portion, be it a used broom or a lifeless wizard.
>>17085860Brooms seem to have inherent speed limits based on the quality of enchantment and craftsmanship (modified a LITTLE by skill and extra juice from the wizard aboard), so they wouldn't be able to get to a proper orbit. However, they don't need an explicit power source, the brooms just slowly degrade in performance over years/decades. Long-distance flights are totally possible, and I'd guess about as physically demanding as riding a motorcycle.So a reasonably fit wizard in an EVA suit could reach a sufficient altitude in a few hours to get slimed by a Starlink satellite.

>>17085869I presumed it was the whole dragon, they need lungs to draw in air and convert it to thrust after all.
>>17085869There’s got to be some gross necromancy going on there. I doubt liquid rocket fuel is stored there. I would imagine they have some sort of unholy H.R. Giger tubing shoved up the necrotic asshole of the decaying dragons and it pumps a food sludge in that can be converted to fire
>>17085874yes, and behind that is a bunch of unpaid peasants with wooden bellows pushing air into the dragon's body.

>>17085886Wrong and retarded post>>17086150Wrong and retarded post>>17086154Wrong and retarded post
>>17086042Wrong, nobody killed themselves, there is no reason to. Elon musk is not getting arrested, spacex is not getting nationalized.
>>17085980Lol EDS schizo btfo’d
>>17085984Russia is a decrepit corrupt and collapsing hellhole which could never sustain a spacex like company.Elon is not going to russia.
Why haven't any space agencies used Moe and Curly's fuel formulation? It has been demonstrated to have vastly superior specific impulse and energy density to anything else in use:https://youtu.be/gTXEr7sO9rQ?t=1256
>>17086330Who tf is that third fatso on the left, I’ve never seen him in my life
>>17086331Shemp's alter-ego
>>17085945WTF MAKE IT STOPWTF MAKE IT STOPWTF MAKE IT STOPWTF MAKE IT STOP
>>17086082I would prefer a scramjet cannonbut in any case, barrel length and the atmosphere will be the problems for any vaguely gun-like launch system on Earth
>>17086346Maybe the retard should focus on space and not go full into politics? He had the moment of clarity but then decided to come back like a moron. He can only blame himself.Also blue tsunami was obvious for months and giga red stocks after midterms were just as obvious. It's going to come back but anyone smart sold weeks ago and is now waiting for historic dips. Space stocks are just getting hit in crossfire they will all soar. Especially SpaceX competitors.
>>17086353>Space stocks are just getting hit in crossfire they will all soar. Especially SpaceX competitors.All of the datacenter moratoriums are bullish for spacex.
If I wanted to read about politics I'd go to /pol/
>>17086363von Braun would have loved KSP so much
>>17086363>AGH, scheisse, timevarp killed me again!
>>17086353everything is getting hit retard
>>17086124Wouldn't have happened if they designed a competent Moon rocket instead of slapping Orion on a Shittle tank

>>17086390spacex is good at building infrastructure, building AI that people use not so much.
>>17086390Wow, everything is computer
>>17086390yes, the moratoriums will mean less compute overall, which will mean the spot price will be even higher and spacex will probably be able to manuever better than others (like they already have), so the compute they do build will be a even bigger proportion of all compute that is builtand then you have orbital datacenters after that, this will probably make the economics become feasible even earlier than before
>>17086390elon 'order of magnitude' musk does it again!
>>17086399looks heavy and complicated. why don’t we use a nice pressure fed hypergolic with pyrotechnic valves instead
>spitter leftists coming to terms with the degrowth party they voted for acting on their degrowth platform
>>17086417CSI starbase had a long post about that he doesn't care if space gets completely demolished because other things are more important (not really sure what he means, but ok) and he could get another job if the youtube thing dries up (I would assume because interest in spaceflight goes to nothing as everyhting gets bogged down and nothing happens anymore)
