Impressive.

With this most recent achievement, fate has, in a single stroke, marked the decline of the west and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the Chinese dragon, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of western powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. The blessings of Chinese space technology, AI robotics, quantum direct-current electricity, space habitats, gamma titanium mono crystal turbines, unmanned autonomous A.I. spaceships, and space colonies will be the instruments with which China affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-western world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Western leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.

Hell, they're probably happy they can sell off some of the shit they'd otherwise flare and thus waste. Just purify it to the desired purity and ship it, and it'd be even easier to do vs RP-1 because Methane and LNG dont really require chemical processing, LNG even less so.
Hell for methane all that's really needed is to chill the gaseous output of the well until everything heavier than methane condenses out, and pump out the methane into a chiller unit to liquefy it for storage and shipping.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? So much methane is produced, the vast majority is burned on site rather than being collected. They send it up a pipe and light it on fire. That's what that image depicts. It's not a case of "we don't know how to get rid of it." We DO know how to get rid of it, just fucking burn it.

They know that they will not get to claim they are winning after Starship lands. They also arent likely to know that won't be this launch.

So on Dec 10th SpaceX is going to launch SiriusXM's SXM-7 to geostationary transfer orbit and then land the booster downrange. Apparently this sat weighs 7000 kg. But according to wikipedia's numbers the F9 shouldn't be capable of doing this while being reusable? I'm guessing their numbers are just bullshit or what?

ULA chad here. When I came here today to educate you all on exactly what a real launch company looks like, I expected to be all alone. Alas, there was another. We ULA chads are rare indeed, but when we come together, we can do great things. Results over rhetoric cannot simply be a slogan. It cannot just be even more rhetoric. Results over rhetoric must be a result in itself. ULA has proven time and again that we are all capable of greatness. ULA inspires the future while spacex, yet again, per the usual, disappoints. From LRO to New Horizons, difficulty be damned, ULA does what needs to be done. Humanity deserves results.

The plasma thrusters are just for station keeping, but that old hypergolic tooter there that's derived from the apollo program and very much refined over the years will be doing the orbit raising of the satellite. A ~7t satellite doesn't need to be handheld all the way to orbit.

New Glenn is weird. We've seen absolutely nothing of the actual rocket itself. It's a surprisingly ambitious design and frankly I'm not sure that they're up for the challenge. At least not in a reasonable time frame. And I'm still not sure how they're going to make landing on a retrofitted ferry *that has people on it* work. Sounds kinda pie-in-the-sky right now. It doesn't inspire confidence either that New Glenn didn't make the USAF's cut for 2nd round funding.

I would like to see more newspace companies succeed, but I don't like the smallsat launcher business case. That rockets scale up better than down is a simple matter of physics and it bares out in the economics, Rocketlab is not an especially cheap launch option for its payload. The sole moat for small launchers is that they can make a return without a big rideshare and so give each payload a dedicated orbit, but that just needs larger rockets to field their own tugs or bring in third party services like Momentus to be disrupted.

There's only one turbine in that design, anon. You're seeing one LOx impeller and two kerosene impellers on a single shaft design with the turbine that makes it spin in the center left. There's a low pressure kerosene impeller on the far right and a high pressure kerosene pump on the middle right. The low pressure pump feeds directly into the combustion chamber, but the high pressure pump needs to be able to spray fuel into the preburner, which is always the highest pressure volume in the engine. It'd be a waste of turbine power to bring all of the fuel up to preburner pressure since the preburner is oxygen rich and most of the fuel doesn't pass through it anyway.

I'm a fan of using current momentum to reach one's goals. I mean, the movement is already there so you might as well make use of it.

In this specific case you could fight off "we need to focus on our planet first" positions by co-opting rage against boomers. Something like: "THEY got to experience the moon landings, but are saying that WE can't do the same because we have to devote our entire lives to cleaning up THEIR mess??? No. We will not give up our dreams just because you fucked up the planet. We do both "

There are many other ways you can go about this. It's actually kinda fun taking current trends and altering their trajectory so that they better service humanity. If you really wanted to be completely unapologetic about it you could, for instance, construe people against new moon landings as being racist, because the REAL reason they don't want new moon landings is because they don't want minority groups on the moon in the history books. It's a bit ridiculous, but hey, pic related.

Many people genuinely believe the earth to be flat. If I had to estimate, it'd be at least a few million in the US.
This is not necessarily a misconception limited to just space flight, but it is 100% an example of how badly science educators have failed at least the last 2 generations
i don't really know how to fix it, as slick youtube videos and bastardized forms of American Christianity are the main culprit, but something needs to be done.
On a related note, about 1 in 10 people believe the moon landings were fake, so take that as you will. That's gotten better in recent years though.

Something I learned early is that diversity and the exchange of ideas frequently leads to better outcomes than when the team is all alike. Many more positions are filled by women (inherently smarter than men, I think) but more needs to be done to gain the perspective that people of color bring. It’s a societal problem that reflects itself in a technical work force. More mentoring and opportunities down to the grade school level need to be available.

Not really true, sheltered dogs that were well socialized with other dogs as puppies and well socialized with humans their whole lives act like you describe, but a dog that was separated from the litter too early will be fearful and aggressive of other dogs, and a dog that has had bad interactions with humans will be shy of human interaction, and will likely be aggressive too.

Neither planes nor cars would blow their minds. The current state of space flight would probably disappoint them. Computers would doubtlessly be interesting, but they would be familiar with the premise of mechanizing and automating mathematical procedures; so you could get them up to speed on the premise of computers pretty quickly. Global communication networks would be nothing new, nor would the premise of recorded audio or video. The quality of our A/V technology would doubtlessly impress them, as would the extent to which it permeates society, but you'd not be blowing their mind with inconceivable things.

They would also likely be deeply unimpressed with many of our social developments, but that's a story for another board.

Dogs are by nature playful and social. They are only accepting of people by nurture. A dog must actually learn to be comfortable around humans. The same is true of wolves, but the period in their lives at which they can be socialized to human is extremely short. In dogs this time is extended massively, but a dog that was born and never saw a human until it was three years old would not immediately trot up with its tail wagging if you called to it. It would probably shit itself and run away from you.

>The Magnus Maximilian LP is the third studio album by German-born American rapper Wernher von Braun, released on July 11, 1962, by National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Paperclip Records. The album was produced mostly by Oberth and von Braun, along with Ernst Stuhlinger, U.S. General Holger Toftoy, and Robert Lusser. Recorded over a two-month period in several studios around Huntsville, the album features more introspective lyricism, including von Braun's thoughts on his rise from rags to riches, the criticism of his music, and his estrangement from his family and wife. A transgressive work, it incorporates horrorcore and hardcore hip hop, while also featuring satirical songs. Featured appearances include Cernan, CEY, Thomas Stafford, Snoopy, and F-1.

Delta Clipper would have worked if there had been the political will to fund it and iterate on it. It's no coincidence that Jeff Bezos / Blue Origin hired a bunch of guys that worked on it. They're working on a reusable SSTO. It can work, with enough payload for human passengers, but of course it's not going to be lifting heavy payloads, but that's not what it's for. Reusable SSTOs would be specifically for shuttling humans into and back from orbit.

People who assume that SSTOs can't work are operating off a just-world fallacy; they assume the Delta Clipper failed because the idea can't work, not because of petty political/funding reasons. But the truth is we live in a world where shit that could work often fails for shitty reasons unrelated to technical feasibility.

>>12413036
LLO period is what, like 2 hours? That might work, though it would limit the length of the race. For best low latency control maybe you'd limit the race to 30 minutes or so when the controllers are high above the horizon and relatively close.

I'm rapidly losing hope that they'll amount to much. How does a company that touts "millions of people living and working in space" expect to get there when they have seemingly no plans to launch people to orbit and have been dragging their heels on launching anyone even suborbital for years? What do they expect to accomplish by using oldspace's playbook, especially when they don't even have a shot at military contracts for several years? What market niches do New Shepard and New Glenn satisfy? How does the man behind Amazon's empire fall so flat here? Blue Origin would be dead on the water the second Bezos loses interest.

That's probably why they're entertaining this weird project. Get someone else to foot the bill while launching children's highschool projects to space to show how easy space access really is. Normally attaching yourself to this kind of project would be a bad idea since the chance of falling through is pretty high and it's a lot of wasted time and effort if that's the case.

They could burn nitromethane. Nitromethane is commonly used to power RC vehicles, and can also be used as a mono-propellant (though I'm not sure if it would work in any commercially available RC engine as a mono-propellant; I think all probably are air-breathers, because why wouldn't they be unless you were going to the moon?)

If not nitromethane, there are other fuels that could be used. For instance Otto Fuel II, used by the US Navy and others to power torpedoes, could be made to power lunar vehicles as well.

Yeah but why would you ever have it build just a little bit of stuff when you could have it produce living space hundreds of times that of Earth in another star system prior to human arrival?
I think they'd still be pretty pissed even if it only consumed their asteroids. Also unless they are far less worried about AGI then we are then I think they'd find it incredibly reckless to give one effectively infinite and completely unsupervised power like that.
