>>12430370
The two seem to show similarities since the origin of Orel was due to ESA and Russia wanting their own counterpart to Constellation, but it seems like if there were any direct similarities then those are gone or minimized as the two capsules diverged in their development. The Orel was supposed to launch on whatever replaces the old Soyuz (Soyuz-5, Angara, whatever), but who knows if both will ever fly together.

Why were there so many test flights and such during the Apollo era but now there’s few?

Because they probably get a hard on every time they tell Elon he can’t launch. They make ambiguous safety rules and if they are in a bad mood they will tell SpaceX it’s too risky at the last second. Elon fucked off out of california but he will never escape the shitty federal government bureaucracy so long as he is launching on land.

Based. They should just designate the entire area as a “cosmodrome / nature reserve”. Kick out the boomers, and if you enter and go past the signs then you do so at your own risk. See pic related.

>This past year alone, SpaceX has completed two low-altitude flight tests with Starship SN5 and SN6 and accumulated over 16,000 seconds of run time during 330 ground engine starts, including multiple Starship static fires and four flight tests of the reusable methalox full-flow staged combustion Raptor engine. Additionally, with production accelerating and fidelity increasing, SpaceX has built 10 Starship prototypes. SN9 is almost ready to move to the pad, which now has two active stands for rapid development testing.
>SN8’s flight test is an exciting next step in the development of a fully reusable transportation system capable of carrying both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. As we venture into new territory, we continue to appreciate all of the support and encouragement we have received.

F9 does the same, as does Delta IV, the orange turd including the OG orange turd tank and the Atlas V.
If it's got LOX in it, it will contract. If it's got subcooled RP-1, it will contract even more, if it's fully cryogenic, it'll contract even more again.

This is why raceways and so on are flexible and whatnot.

It exploded during pressure tests, Anon. And I'm pretty fucking sure they only downgraded it from flight hardware after Elon threw a shitfit when he saw all the shitty welds in person. The original idea was to hop that thing, I think. At least it seemed like that for the longest time.
Only after MK1 did they go back to actual tank pathfinders when they learned it wasn't going to be quite as easy as getting a few water tower guys.

Man I’m getting nostalgic now. I remember the first announcement in like December 2018 about “HEY LOOK ITS A WATERTOWER” and the debate that followed. I remember watching it slowly come together.

Man I know Starship is far from done but it’s really been amazing seeing the program come to life. I remember thinking that the failure of SN3 meant that Starship was over. I remember being excited when SN4 finally made it only to an hero. I remember watching those shitty test tanks back in January even BEFORE SN1. I remember watching SN5 fly upwards and thinking “oh fuck that Raptor is gonna run engine rich again.” It’s been a long road boys. We’re seeing the golden age open again.

No, not if that's all you did.
If you took the Shuttle ET as a reference structure, modified it to mount RS-25 engines to the ass end inside of a shroud, added stubby X-37 style wings, and lengthened the thing to increase the gap between the two tank bulkheads and make space for a cargo bay, then developed a reusable liquid fueled side mounted booster to strap to either side, then you could make a vehicle that would be a direct improvement to Shuttle but would still be fairly shitty owing to the very large dry mass, bad wet-dry mass fraction, and booster-sustainer design.
It would be better to swap propellants for something more dense, go to a more effective TSTO design with a reusable first stage booster, and oops end up with something that converges on the Starship design.

This would be a shitty outcome although on the upside we would probably get better looking fins (bottom ones look fine, top ones look dumb and thin and idk how they will survive an atmospheric reentry)

It hadn't been done yet, so it was all experimental, but as >>12432370 said they had basically figured it all out. Also, this was the first return to launch site attempt, which also signaled some confidence that it wouldn't blow up on the range.

I’m confident that if CRS-7 didn’t fail, it would’ve been a successful landing.

Also that gives me two questions.

1) What would have happened if CRS-7 DIDNT fail? Would we still see the “Full Thrust” version? FT was the gateway for the block V and it showed up at just the right time? Or would our version of the FT take longer to appear (v1.1 has gradual upgrades).

2) What would’ve happened if SpaceX landed a v1.1 core? Would they try to reuse it?

Gosh I prefer not to think about those “what if’s”. Like it’s all fun and games to think about what Elon will do in the future. But it’s also scary to think about what would have happened if falcon 1 worked the very first launch. Maybe they would have flown it for a while. Maybe F9 would not have booster reuse. Maybe elon would then have just gone with a propulsive dragon to land on Mars. I think all the failures just push SpaceX to do better things and I’m glad we are where we are today because they make great products

>the first return to launch site
That only means burning a lot more fuel up there, since it has to do a 180, but everything else should be the same.

I actually prefer landings on land vs landings in the barge because the video is shown entirely with no cuts at the best moment.

Yeah. Part of me is, for example, sad that C201 blew up, but I’m glad C205 didn’t blow up the ISS on accident.

Also I was a dumb teenager when CRS-7 blew up. I fell for the NASA propaganda of Government=Good Private=Bad and I sincerely HATED the Falcon 9. I think the Minotaur-C was my favorite rocket at the time (formerly Taurus).

How did you guys get into SpaceX? I watched SES-9 live and from there I fell down the rabbit hole.

bet the crew of SpaceX's tugboats lead interesting lives. Wonder if they have to work hard to bring rockets home during rough seas

Do you guys know if super heavy will be landing on a droneship at all? I've heard conflicting things over time.

They overestimate the logistical improvement of not having to stack two stages (dumb because stacking is something you have to do anyway to install the payload) and the underestimate the difficulty of designing a functioning SSTO ("lol just build TWR >100 engines that get 380 Isp at sea level and 470 Isp in vacuum and mount them to a reusable-TPS coated airframe with a wet mass fraction of 93%, simple as")
