Future rockets
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HiP2AK5tB3BZUcPtSNJwV6Pfgel-QGnk?usp=sharing

>Above we have averted the curtain of the future and taken a peek at what space rockets of the near future will look like. The first on the left "Scout" (18,000 kN thrust) uses solid propellants, which may significantly lower its cost. Perhaps as soon as 1962, the 3-stage giant "Saturn", which has a first stage thrust of 800,000 kN, and which may be able to take supplies to the first researchers on the Moon. The next step has only single-chamber, though it is equally powerful, which in 1970 will be developed to be the multichambered, 3,000,000 kN "Vega" rocket (second from the right). Around 1970 we may have the first ion-spraying engine, which as the final frontier in space propulsion can take spacecraft to the edges of our solar system (third from the right). Nuclear rockets, which utilize uranium as their reactors' fuel, should be ready around 1975 to carry payloads which other rocket types can't.

The former will advance high power electric propulsion, Gateway for instance will be injected into orbit around Earth and it will have to burn its way to NRHO. That technology would be hard to scale up to enable fast transit human interplanetary missions such as the 'Mars in 39 days' proposal by the creator of VASIMR, nuclear is far too heavy and solar would require panels on the order of hundreds of thousands of square meters.

>>14571347
Because that’s not how the Australian convict labor program worked. The vast majority (men and women) were petty criminals, little more than thieves and conmen. Australia was in essence a large “parole” programs where they lived in near freedom, besides the required labor and church services. After a number of years they could not only become free but pardoned (but only if they never returned to England or Ireland). Many became shop keeps, small landowners, missionaries etc especially after the first decades when programs to incentivise something like homesteading were rolled out. Many also however became poor indentured farmers, similar to peasants and saddled with serious debt.

I think some were yes but it was mainly a way of turning useless mouths in debtors prisons and slums and so on into a hopefully valuable extension of British empire near India, the indies, indochina and China. This would have come right around the loss of the American colonies and the British empire was conducting extensive trade in the region. as a matter of fact the first fleet (the fleet which dropped the first wave of convicts) conducted trading missions both before and after dropping off the convicts, before returning home.
The goal was definitely to create a stable colony of some size - the convicts even brought their families in some cases but I believe this was mostly in later settlement waves. I think some of it was driven by domestic politics in Britain but I don’t know a huge amount about British politics in the late 18th century lol

Is there anything cool about Psyche besides the science goals, the laser communication experiment, and that it will launch on a Falcon Heavy? The spacecraft is based on a Maxar/SSL bus with underwhelming SPT-140 hall thrusters that will be turned down to the point the specific impulse will be <1,500 seconds. I guess JPL wants to use legacy technology based on GEO satellites but watch as they still manage to fuck something up. How they managed to charge almost a billion to build this, I don't know.

Had one try to install a 9V battery in a smoke detector by pushing the connector against the flat side on the bottom. When I asked what he was doing, he said if he connected to the top, the thing would keep beeping so that must mean he connected it wrong. They're not even midwits.

That's not even close to accurate and it have large lithium ion batteries to power it during driving and help it survive the lunar night. A rover that will never stray far from base is not a good application for nuclear, but with solar it doesn't really matter if the panels are on or off the vehicle as their mass is insignificant and little panel area is required to keep it charged, unlike say an Earther EV that drives hundreds of km each day at high speeds.

The Lunar Roving Vehicle had a mass of 210 kg and a range of 57 miles despite using 1960s battery technology.

Could you imagine if “For All Mankind” was just a straight retelling of the Apollo Applications Program?
Season 1 followed the creation of the lunar base in the 70’s
Season 2 followed the first manned mission to Mars in the 80’s alongside all of those issues with Soviets on the moon in the show
Season 3 could continue with the colonization of Mars in the 90’s or maybe follow space startups at the time

I think another issue with For All Mankind is that, because it’s a TV show, it has to follow the same characters over and over again. This isn’t realistic. But it’s why people joke that the show’s main characters are disaster magnets because each time they show up, stuff goes wrong.

If I made the show, I’d make each season focus on a different set of characters, with occasional appearances from earlier ones.

Anyways, to end my rant, “good” alternate history is 100% doable. The online series “Eyes Turned Skywards” is also a post-Apollo story that is fun to read. I also recommend “Voyage” which follows a mission to Mars in the ‘80’s with Apollo tech

These claims were seen as violating the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and did not receive wider international support or recognition. Subsequently, they were largely abandoned.

It's stuck in some legal tomfoolery. The $44B price was based on Twitter being no more than 5% bot by volume, which anyone who's been on twitter will tell you is wildly inaccurate. Elon demanded some proof of twitter's bot population and they outright refused to show anything. Elon's still putting pressure on them as are a number of states whose retirement funds have a substantial investment in twitter. Either Florida or Texas is is looking like might sue Twitter for defrauding their investors.

Things are still happening but the ADHD clickbate news cycle got bored with it and wandered off to screech about other stuff.

I worked at ULA for a while. Honestly the people are mostly pretty nice, the stress is fairly low and you get to learn/work on cool projects. After a while I felt like I stagnated and decided to move on. The industry has a conservative culture of reusing/repurposing existing designs versus creating new stuff so that can be frustrating at times. I suspect SpaceX is the exact opposite of everything I described. Massive overtime is not for me so I wouldn't even consider working there.

Damn bros. I really want to work in spaceflight. There's plenty of opportunity around but they either require multiple years of "spaceflight experience" first, or I get ghosted.

Dude educational satellite companies are about to explode. The launch cost is getting low enough now that pretty much any community college or well funded high school can afford to have a club for students to build and launch a cubesat kit. If you're an engineer without a lot of aerospace experience (or a new grad with not great grades) these companies are a great foot in the door.

worked at a small-ish start up, got my balls squeezed hard on some weeks, but otherwise the work flexibility was amazing. Learned a ton and worked on cool shit with cool people. Pretty sweet and also spooky to get responsibility/ownership of some big critical project, knowing jack shit about it, and then figuring it out in the end. It's great to talk and irlshitpost with coworkers about the latest rogget/space thing, from the perspective of inside the industry. Was a great time for me, but it all depends on your preferences and priorities I guess.

[Anonymous No.14573894]

It really depends on where you are and what you're working on, and the industry is insanely small.

If you're into science oh man are you going to have a fun time in a field that loses maybe 20% of its scientists each year to other disciplines because the funding just isn't there and the acceptance rate for grant proposals is low

Also >>14573695 is totally bullshitting about getting laid, unless you're in a startup with a very young crowd most of the people you're rubbing elbows with are married and have been since grad school

The specifics of what I do are enough to uniquely identify me. I work on an engineering team in the main Alameda building, and also get called on to help other teams. My part of LV0010 worked better than the equivalent part on LV0009.

>>14573878
There are multiple people with actual dyed purple hair on staff and people who lean into the pronouns meme. There are also a bunch of straightlaced ex military. It's a weird contrast but I've learned in my career it's one common to federal contractors because of veteran employment programs and diversity quotas.

Just the biggest fucking red herring.
Spacex has their foot in the door and that's all that needed to happen. With some successful launches under their belt it'll be trivial to request more. Then China does something in space that actually worries the DoD and suddenly it's of utmost importance to national security that Spacex be allowed to launch as often as they damn well want.

Give it time. That will be upgraded as the safety is proven and env impact is lessened, thus increasing launch counts modifications.
