Pay close attention. The rest is just a tube.
No, the injectors fail after ignition...
There is only one mixture, and the outlet widths. It makes more sense to bore holes into a solid block, but aside from that, the equation is 3 variables from 2 inputs, the divided pressure, the expansion, and the temperature. It is not complex to wave the function to find the optimal with a computer. You may even make guesses from intuition about the natural elements, and test it on your computer. It is not rocket science.

>>14825486>Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced that it has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) to explore the possibility of using the Company’s Neutron and Electron launch vehicles to transport cargo around the world. The agreement will also see Rocket Lab explore using Photon spacecraft to establish on-orbit cargo depots and deliver re-entry capability.Each amerimutt can now receive one (1) AR-15 with a full magazine by orbital drop pod, anywhere in the world.

>>14827216>what projects in the last 15 years would you not have funded in exchange for funding solar sail and laser based propulsion, and ______________? Constellation and SLS. Is this even a serious question? Start CRS in 2004 instead of Constellation, CCrew after CRS succeeds, and then do CCrew 2: Reusable Upper Stage With A Robot Arm Boogaloo as the threshold for full Shuttle retirement. Then once the Shuttle is retired for something commercial and cheaper with true equivalent capabilities and we're not digging through the couch for spare change for LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE BUDGET we can do solar sails, nuclear propulsion research, space telescope spam, etc. without worrying about some fucking contractor in the middle of a corn field and his Senator having a say over future manned rocket design.

>>14827157>>14827203>>14827223>Elon Musk wanted to "slow down" his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter months after Russia invaded Ukraine [...] "Let's slow down just a few days," Twitter's lawyer said, reading out Musk's texts during the hearing. "Putin's speech tomorrow is really important. It won't make sense to buy Twitter if we're heading into World War 3."that's literally it, he did not even express any positive or negative opinion about him, elon man bad i guess?
>>14826015Implications?
>>14827229I mean there is no slaughtering the sacred pork barrel and things are dysfunctional but in a functional government, the second Falcon Heavy demonstrated commercial payloads SLS would have been put on a fixed cost budget to fly or die and then been promptly phased out instead of sunk cost fallacy. But it's a pointless hypothetical like most hypotheticals.
>>14827230the should spend it all to hire a bunch of blacks and women, especially foreign blacks and women, who can't do anything on their own successfully and then fire all of white males

>>14827238He's just using any possible excuse to try and worm out of an acquisition he pushed for in the first place.Twitter wasn't for sale and he pushed hard to get them to sell, once they were happy with the deal and willing to sell he said "nah forget it".Musk is bad but not because he quoted Putin or names the jew, it's because he acts like a jew.

Anyone know what the fuck this thing is? Bill gates backed startup working on a reusable rocket https://twitter.com/marcushouse/status/1567329597884370944?s=21&t=G3-eSWp2O9HTJ96G5hHPew
>>14827321oh boy, yet ANOTHER launcher!we need more payloads, not more launchers
>>14827323We need at least two fully reusable heavy lift launchers. Right now we have zero; Starship isn't ready.
>>14826554>This optically coupled particle and laser beam are governed by two fundamental coupling phenomena. The light guiding occurs due to the higher index of refraction inside the particle beam compared to the vacuum of space outside the beam. This same principle can be seen in step index fiber optic cables. The particle guiding requires the particles to be at very low (sub-Kelvin) temperatures to effectively couple the beams. Once the atoms are cold, the high intensity laser creates and potential “well” through a dipole force that the particles will stay trapped in unless they gain enough energy to escape the well.This will be amazing if it works.
How long until a starship is on the pad at LC 39?
>>14827333It's also going to need lots of military backing because it's functionally a death ray.
>>14827284It came out in the court filings that twitter was reporting a significant portion of its bot traffic as real users. Which is effectively lying about demand for your product, and thus lying to advertisers your primary clients about the value per ad buy on the site and also investors who use MAU as a metric of health to invest more or not. Now of course most of silicon valley cheats like this but none were ever taken to court for obvious reasons.
>>14827333that is so fucking elegant
Who could utilize LC 39C? That shit was empty for years, could a larger rocket be put on the pad?
>>14827230Starship development, coke, and Icelandic hookers
>>14827321A FULLY reusable rocket. That's part of the second stage engine. The first stage is going to be a pretty conventional looking Falcon 9 clone, but the second is more conical and seems like its going to use an aerospike that'll double as a heat shield for 2nd stage reentry. It's also a hydrolox engine, which tracks with their statements about it being the "highest performing upper stage" out of all the new small launchers. One the company's co-founders was in charge of BE-3/3U development at Blue Origin so it's not like they lack any experience with the awkward stuff.
>>14827343>Now of course most of silicon valley cheats like this but none were ever taken to court for obvious reasons.If anybody remembers a while back when Elon advertised on twitter that he was putting together a top-tier legal team to actively and aggressively pursue specific issues and which would report directly to him—this is why. He's been planning the twitter bout for a while, and I don't think he'll be done stirring the pot after that. Everything that's happened with the twitter deal (on his end at least) has been part of a very deliberate strategy.

>>14827375>oh no, how are we ever going to be able to handle the same fuels which were used successfully on a daily basis without much issue in the 1940s, during a desperate war situation with limited access to raw materials, regular bombing raids and no digital computing equipment

>>14827373First we need to send out a bunch of colonies to stars with only gas giants. Chucking roggs a relativistic velocities us going to get us noticed.
>>14827381[Leaks and valve troubles intensify]
>>14827375They seem to know what they're doing, or at least understand what they're up against. They claim that they've got the design of 2nd stage engine and TPS where they want it to be but they're also being Blue Origin levels of secretive about anything resembling technical details. I don't think they've even made any definitive statements about what their payload capacity is going to be, just that "it'll be sized to fit the market."
>>14827364>Their reusable second-stage design eliminates the brittle ceramic tiles that have required detailed inspections and lengthy refurbishments on other space vehiclesis that shade being thrown?
>>14825486>Forgot "Spaceflight General" in the subjectScrub this thread, roll it back to the VAB.
>>14827404Maybe a little, but it'd doesn't cost anything to point at the Shuttle's flaws.
>>14827270Ideal you are head of NASA and given $100bil now (congrats, it seems 50bil may be small penuts in spaceflight) You get to pick the teams and team coordinators and helpers to plan missions, how do you want that money spent
>>14827296>idk, maybe funding the entire starship program, and starting a moon and mars base with the remaining $45 billionIf the entire starship program can be funded for $5 bil, and Elon Musk is worth like $600 bil, and some part of him was gonna buy twitter for $44 bil, why wouldn't he just put 5 or 10 into starship program?
>>14827323What kind of payloads? A company can't really afford to take the risk that they will profit later if they start now to make devices and materials for moon base and mars colonies, or commericial space stations
>>14827333What about this is so powerful or energetic? The laser is gaining energy from? And how does it propel the probe so fast, how is the probe recieving the energy, can the laser be attatched to the back of the probe? How does it retain accuracy as it gets further?.

>>14825518Those are some beefy flanges
>>14827433ideally infrastructure payloads... things that help reduce the cost and difficulty of space like propellant depots and servicing satellites. i'd put up a demo sat that can be easily upgraded to show companies the potential and build a business off of that.
>>14827446so on the heavier side of a smallsat launcher, that's good
>>14827364>Reusable>HydroloxDidn't they have to replace basically the entire hydrogen-exposed half of the SSME every time it was "reused"?
>>14827453clearly they think they can deal with it. materials science has advanced a lot over the last 20 years so who knows
>>14827458Yes, twenty years of advancement but we still need to be using a 40 year old legacy design that uses none of these advancements. NASA is feckless and congress is willfully ignorant of their own incompetence.
>>14827453No
>>14827463we were talking about stoke not slsyeah you're right the SSME it uses are neat and all but they're pretty old tech at this point and this leak issue might reflect that. it's possible a lot of our antipathy towards hydrolox is rooted in legacy hardware that can't deal with it-maybe a fresh new design can tame it and get decent overall performance. i'm willing to give stoke a chance to impress me-so far they've actually managed to make good time on turning a vision into working hardware,which is refreshing compared to BO, who I am astonishe to note seem to have made no progress on new glewnn in the last year. like what happened to that new upper stage, or doing a fucking hop test?
>>14827458I'm not sure if you'd call New Shepard "rapidly" reusable but it's not the worst thing to have as a proof of concept. >>14827446That'd put it in line with Vega and JAXA's Epsilon. That's not a bad place to be if they can manage a quick turnaround with both of their stages.
>>14827474you’ll never escape the storage and impulse-density problem of hydrogen, and a dinky little BE-3 on a suborbital rocket that flies 4 times a year is a horrible comparison for anything scaled up to Falcon or Starship levels of power
>>14827471the leak is unrelated to the RS-25 outside of the use of liquid hydrogen
https://spacenews.com/nasa-to-repair-sls-liquid-hydrogen-leak-on-the-pad/>NASA will attempt to fix on the pad a liquid hydrogen seal that caused a Space Launch System scrub, keeping open the option to proceed with a new launch attempt later this month.>In a statement late Sept. 6, NASA said that technicians will proceed with plans to replace the seal for the interface called the quick disconnect between a liquid hydrogen feed line and the core stage of the SLS. That work will be done on the pad rather than rolling the vehicle back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center.WEARECALLING A PLUMBER
>>14827479oh right sorry i got the valve issue and the leak mixed up
>>14827251That makes it even easier for spacex to get good engineers. I love watching NASA crash and burn. I doubt SpaceX will be required to fly only nasa astroonutes.Jared Isaacman ends up being the first person to set foot on Mars. Angering all of NASA that it wasn't a black woman, that they fly their own mission 40 years later
>>14827481inb4 they just ignore the FTS timing out
>>14827485the first Mars mission has decent odds of being a suicide mission
>>14827481actually some good news, but don’t think for a second that something else can and will go wrong if they attempt another flight (pronounced ‘wet dress rehearsal’)
>>14827481>so I talked to the guy at home depot
>>14827463Don't you think what most of NASA and the companies they commissioned topsecret stuff, they really spent 20 million on SLS said they spent 20 billion so at least as bummed as the public is the money is a counted for, but it's really going towards making the super epic super futuristic tech.
>>14827488what are you talking about, we're going to have set down quite a few rockets full of supplies and machinery on mars before humans get shipped over-if one of those burns up shit is getting delayed big time. i'd say the first people to mars have maybe a 5-10% chance of dying from some kindof accident or something tops.
>>14827493yeah, that's "decent odds of suicide mission"
>>14827488At this point it feels like using a starship as a lunar lander for artemis is a bit of a suicide run lol. SpaxeC definitely had the most experience over dynetics a leidos company and BO by a long shot; but the rocket is nowhere near ready yet and they only have 2 years left
>>14827477>you’ll never escape the storage and impulse-density problem of hydrogenYou see the problem with statements like yours is that it is impossible to prove correct and entirely possible (if unlikely) to prove false. Metallic hydrogen may yet prove to be the optimum propellent for chemical rocketry. This is an area of ongoing active scientific research.
>>14827496at this point it's really obvious that we're a ways off being back on the moon. 2028 or maybe 2030 feel more plausible.
>>14827499impulse-density is literally a measurement you dumb fuck
>>14827488>the first Mars mission has decent odds of being a suicide missionThe crew should all be in their 60s and 70s, and have robot helpers, and exoskeleton power suits
>>14827499>I disagree with your quantitative data so here is a popsoi reddit alternative
>>14827496nah that'll be fine, it's the "yeah just set up a multigigawatt solar plant and kiloton fuel production facility or you aren't coming home" part that's spookyit'll work, but only steely eyed missile men and brass balled test pilots are going to be making that journey
>>14827505we need to contain the boomer menace, not allow them to spread
>>14827509if they can figure out how to lay out tons of solar panels/reactors before hand and actually generate a ton of fuel and oxidizer to prove it will work then the hardest hurdle will have been conquered. They aren’t sending a single soul over there until 99% of the infrastructure has already been landed and set up, and they are comfortable with ISRU
>>14827477But we're not scaling up to anything like Starship. We're not even getting close to Falcon 9. This rocket is a pipsqueak that's lifting a ton and a half to LEO. You'd need a first stage with a bit more power than New Shepard's chubby sounding rocket body but there's no reason why you can't design a functional hydrolox first stage if that's where your technical experience is. There's also nothing suggesting that they're going to use a hydrogen-fueled first stage. They haven't even started designing the that stage yet, so they might not have even know what they want to use yet.
>>14827515Okay then at that point go with hypergolic. Some mixtures outcompete even methalox and it’s not like you need to ISRU so why the fuck would you commit to hydrogen or methane
>>14827492No, I worked for an aerospace contractor that did work for most of the big names NASA, Bowing, SpaceX, Aerojet, Sierra Nevada etc.My fingerprints were on parts that took people to space. (well we did a good job of cleaning them but the prints were there at one point).I think NASA is just phenomenally good at wasting money. And while I wouldn't at all be suppressed to see a decent fraction evaporate off in the eather, that money is not being siphoned off to fund black opps research in the south pole pyramid. The F37 was a big enough cash cow for all the black ops folks to vampire away all the money they could dream of. NASA's budget is pitiful compared to those folk.
>>14827519by that logic neutron should be hypergolic
>>14827505>exoskeleton power suitsAre these going to be popular on Mars? The workforce setting up the solar field by metal hand

>>14827513yeah automating it is impossible imo
>>14827522You can choose between>massively complex exoskeletons that have to be individually fittedor>a forklift
>>14827519The point of using hydrogen is that despite its downsides they have more experience using it than a more conventional mix like methalox or kerolox. They don't have that experience using hypergolic fuel and if they did they'd be smart enough not to use them on a vehicle they're intending to be rapidly reused. >>14827520>that money is not being siphoned off to fund black opps research in the south pole pyramid. You take that back. South pole megalithic cryptoarchitecture programs provide honest American jobs in all sixty states.

what's supposed to happen to a HLS after it has launched and transferred the astronauts from the moon?it just stays there in lunar orbit? wouldn't that mean an increasing amount of empty HLS just flying around as more missions are sent? would they have to reserve enough fuel per mission to get it into another out of the way orbit or back down to the moon thus cutting the maximum potential payload?

>>14828200Aaahhh I'm toooosting
>>14828200Bet they can get another few seconds of static in those 12 hours

>>148281792 weeks
>>14828311Not an aerospike. They are also only using half of the spaces available for nozzles (so final engine is 30) although you might've spotted that. Spacs are also sort of out of fashion now, so I guess they'll have to take a different route?"Welllllllllll if it is, it's an ugly one. It's designed to serve a purpose... not to be an aerospike." https://twitter.com/stoke_space/status/1549783748098396160
They are removing stuff from B7.1, so static fire today is very likely.
>>14828429With our voyeuristic luck it'll stop just after or before spinning up the pumps again without actually firing.
>>14828437does a rocket really static fire if noone is looking at it
>>14828437If it didn't take a century to fill the spacecraft in each closing we probably would have been on the 20-raptorBoost static fire
>>14828625if they didn't detank the booster after every static fire they could do 10 a day.if the engines weren't so experimental that they didn't have to pore over data and check them physically after every firing they could do 10 a day.

>>14827486Apparently they’re trying to get certification for 40+ days when it was originally only given the green light for 20 days by SLD 45.
>>14828804I hope it stars uncontrollably yawing towards Orlando and when they try to send the signal to blow it up it just ignores it because the batteries have run out of juice
>>14828804If they delay again in October what do you think their odds are of launching this year? If things slip past January 6th they'll need a third extension on their booster certification and I've heard that their odds of getting that aren't great.
>>14828815Yeah I don’t see a launch happening after october. In fact I don’t see a launch happening from now until october anyways lol. I think this thing will need to try february 2023 or later
>>14828815>third extension on their booster certificationThis can only lead to a RUD

>>14828836Now, out of nowhere, and for no reason, SpaceX is pussying out doing a full static fire of B7. Did Joe Biden threaten Elon?
>>14828839More likely it's required for more engine static fires.
>>14828835Good morning!
>>14828836Ahhh I'm deluuuuging
>>14828840Which brings up a question to which I'd like to know the answer: Say we establish a lunar base (RACE FOR THE BASE) at the south pole somewhere. What does that mean for sunlight?
Just realized >Artemis II launches net May 2024>A Falcon heavy mission will launch net April 30 2024>Starship pad at LC-39A will be operational by thenWe could see this pic related shot with Falcon Heavy, SLS, and Starship all in one picture.If LC 49 gets built, then that could be even more starships in the backround.Hell, Terran R is set for a maidan launch in 2024. We could potentially see all of these rockets on their respective pads together.gonna be so kino
>>14828817Yeah, but if they can't get another 6 month certification for the boosters they have to go back to the VAB and destack everything. Maybe they can reuse the boosters after pulling the segments apart or maybe they need to wait for the next set to be ready. If they don't launch by the beginning of January we're going to be looking at a much longer delay than just to February.

The way to beat the lunar night at the south pole is having solar farms at multiple points and then hooking them up with cables. It's still super inconvenient and nuclear won't happen in a long time.Mars is literally easier, travel time doesn't matter as much as power availability.

>>14828956Tory Bruno is so much smarter/realistic than zubrinites and muskovichs. ULA could probably overtake the industry with hydrogen depots
>>14828954>12mwhthe longest period of darkness on the best peak of eternal light is 7 days.that gets you 71 kw of continuous power during that time per 100 tons of batteries.that's less than the ISS uses, pretty bad deal imho.
>>14828954Actually why not integrate it? Use the ship itself as a megapack instead of unloading them, redesigning the interior with racks to hold the cells themselves you can probably get slightly more energy storage than the 12MWh base of mega packs, plus you won't need to unload them, just hook up the ship itself into the grid.

>>14828934Based.>>14828935Cringe. If brute force isn’t working then you aren’t using enough force.
>>14828982compare that to solar panels at about 1kw/kg, you could carry the equivalent 71 kw by yourself in lunar gravity.the distances to the other peaks at shackleton are tens of kilometers.more solar and hvdc cables is literally hundreds of times more mass efficient than building starships full of batteries and still having to power down to below ISS levels.

>>14829010They said that it was going to be cheaper and faster, but they also lied through their teeth about the shuttle's projected flight rate. They lied so brazenly about that even the Soviets were saying "these economics make no fucking sense." They say a lot of things. Don't trust them. They're still part of the government. If they actually cared about following the cheapest and quickest route they would have used a mix of orbital depots and second generation EELVs, or gone with a Shuttle-C design and a mission profile with distributed launches. Instead, the wrote in into law that NASA had to use a rocket that kept all of the old shuttle contractors happy and were handed a draft of a design that a bunch of congressional aids felt was the best way to do that. >>14829009It did have an upper stage; the "upper stage" was just going to be a mostly stock Blok-DM pulled off the top of the Proton that they'd stick at the bottom of the payload canister. Buran didn't need it because it came with its own OMS and Polyus didn't need it either because it had its own built in maneuvering unit. They also proposed a big cryogenic stage but that never got close to getting off the drawing board.

He tells the tale of his life indirectly while expressing his emotions and desires in a letter to his wife back on Earth in the first verse. In the 2nd verse the clone tells the listener about himself directly:I am a clone, I am not aloneEvery fiber of my flesh and bone is identical to the othersEverything I say is in the same toneAs my test tube brother's voice There is no choice between usIf you had ever seen us You'd rejoice in your uniquenessAnd consider every weakness something special of your ownBeing a clone I have no flaws to identifyEven this doggerel that pours from my penHas just been written by another twenty telepathic menOh, word for word, it says:"Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbq0EjSt7XY

Not to mention its fucking a paid service, while I think (could be wrong) with tmobile it will already included with service.
>>14829212they will also return the first Mars samble
>>14829213You need aerobraking to come back from the moon to LEO, or another 3.2km/s left in the tank. HLS doesn't have a heatshield so will stay out at Gateway.

So when spaceX announced their collab with t-mobile did Apple scramble to make this deal. Their emergency services service seems pretty inferior to what Starlink will offer
>>14829180Part of what the song is telling is that the clone has been bred or engineered strictly for the purpose of delivering labor, part of that engineering includes making the clone into a perverted, masturbation obsessed gigacuck. He is given a rich sexual fantasy life to keep him occupied during his off hours, he has a fake loli wife which he will never touch and a mechanical doll version of her who prefers to fuck other dudes. Regardless all that the clone still considers himself perfect in every way, wouldn't change a thing, masturbatory self-love is enough to satisfy his weak willed mind, he has no desire to escape his slavery, he doesn't even consider the possibly, his philandering robot sex toy's vagina will keep him on the job site, content and performing his daily duties until it is time to replace him.
>>14829246That's about another 30 tanker launches. Aerobraking is cheaper and simpler. I'd actually expect a crew launch Moonship 2.0 with tiles that just does the whole mission single stack aside from tanking up in LEO at a depot on the way to the moon.
>>14829228How? HLS needs minimal at most modifications to work as an interorbital crew transport, while Dragon needs a buffed heat shield, a service module to replace the cargo trunk, an uprated version of Falcon Heavy to launch it (that would also need to go through NASA's crew certification process) as well as unspecified modifications to LC-39A to be able to launch said rocket. >>14829242You usually go with aerobreaking because most spacecraft don't have the fuckoff absurd sized propellant tanks Starship has.
>>14829253>That's about another 30 tanker launchestotally wrong. there is no need for the tanker to be even close to full. just enough to get it and HLS back from NRHO or HEO. that is not a full tank.

>>14829068>even the Soviets were saying "these economics make no fucking sense."The Soviets were very good at economics, their goal was not expanding their own economy, their goal was to allow the economy to provide whatever limited resources were necessary to stave of a revolt and skim off all the rest for their personal private war chests. When Brezhnev decided he needed a new bag man to carry off all his cash, he married his daughter to a military officer, a guy named Chubanov. The two didn't know each other, they never developed a relationship even after marriage, but because Chubanov was married to Brezhnev's daughter, the boss could be assured the money given to Chubanov would stay in the family. Chubanov was given the task of skimming wealth from the Uzbek cotton industry and in turn the Aral sea was drained over time to produce cotton to make money for Chubanov. Chubanov lost his protection after daddy Brezhnev died, he was arrested and it came to light that Chubanov had at least $5 billion in West German and Swiss bank accounts, skimmed from cotton sales. That was just the amount they were able to recover, he may have made off with more and that was early 1980s money. $5 billion in 1980 was enough to pay for the construction of an HST. The Soviet space program could've had an HST if they'd wanted it to, they managed their resources towards other aims instead. They knew what they were doing and their execution of their economic plans hit the goal precisely every time. Anastas Mikoyan's son Stephan wrote an autobiography which will fill in the detail for you if you want a primary source account, he was a fighter/experimental test pilot and airplane salesman for MiG and fills in details about the USSR aerospace industry as well

man, KSP is frustrating as hell. it's not the rockets blowing up, i actually enjoy the process of trial and error there, slowly putting together better and better designs. it's the random shit, like parachutes deploying in the middle of a launch no matter how i stage the rocket, the designer telling me i didn't put a manned module on the rocket despite the fact that i clearly put a manned pod there and can see it, the random auto-snapping the parts do when i try to put them on and so onthe game honestly just doesn't feel complete, feels like an alpha version. i wish there were a more... functional rocket design/spaceflight sim, but it doesn't look like there is one

>>14829319Those things have never happened and I have about 300 hours in KSP.
NASA's astronaut selection is fundamentally broken. Around 80% of the time on station is spent on maintenance. NASA should be hiring under water welders, not some meme over-achievers like Jonny Jim
>>14829345I've been playing KSP on and off since before there were planets and that shit happens all the goddamn time.
>>14829348I guess I'm lucky then.
>>14829346i couldn't care less lol. i care about rockets
>>14829358rocket"s"? More like rocket. Only starship matters everything else loser rocket
>>14829346let's hope the new gen of space stations have much better performance-ideally you'd want less than 5% of the crew's time to be spent on maintenance.
>>14829339this show is goofy and stupid
>>14829370That's a funny way to spell "fantastic and awesome".
So with the newest iPhone you have to point it at certain point in the sky to connect with a satellite, and it's for emergency use only.Meanwhile T-Mobile deal with Starlink will allow any smartphone to connect with the internet anywhere on Earth.
>>14829368New generation of space stations will have privately hired astronauts hired only to do maintenance.
>>14829375Internet is a bit of an exeggeration. The most you will be able to do is to send and receive text messages.
Diversity is mission-critical.
>>14829368They will be better, at least at the start. A lot of the maintenance work comes from how stupidly old the modules are. The main components of ROS were built by Soviet engineers to be the core of Mir-2 and if launched back in that role would have reached the end of their expected operational lives while Bill Clinton was still in office. The complaints that cosmonauts have over the work needed to keep their geriatric half of the space station running justifies Russian alcoholism. New commercial stations will be new, and they should be cheap enough to decommission and replace before they get to the state the ISS is currently in.
>>14827333>photon particle couplingSo try on earths magnetism
>>14829265good news anon, it turns out even a very small version of this can work at the scale of making like 10 kgs of iron per day. one or two of these modules and a basic steel production system could churn out a few tons of purified steel per year, very useful for an early stage colony to make tools and structureshttps://youtu.be/GJKoBgBCPW0?t=276

what are some good books to serve as an intro to spaceflight, beyond just "i like rockets, they're cool"all i'm seein is textbooks, and those are just unbearably dry to me. i don't need the stuff i read to be super easily digestible pop sci, but sittin around reading a series of equations from a textbook is just too dull
>>14829415For now. Twitter used to be the same way.
>>14829431Behold, the /sfg/ canon.http://projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/
We know there are a fuckton of startups working on small launchers. Are there any startups working on medium/heavy lift vehicles? (Besides Relativity)
rockets should be long straight smooth and skinny, with no changes in diameter and no protrusions
>>14829495Side boosters are cool.
>>14829149do they explicitly say what they plan to do with a HLS after its returned from the Moon to Gateway?
>>14829495amen brother
>>14829507Nope. They're very careful to mention that once the NASA astronauts leave the HLS, NASA is done with it as far as contractual obligations are concerned (they do mention "disposal" though, so I imagine there is some language in the contract about hazard mitigation).
Isn't spacex supposed to be working on their own eva suit?
>>14829507No, but there are few ideas1.do unmanned landing on the moon with reserve fuel and keep it there as an emergency moonbase for later missions2.reuse it for future manned missions3.keep it docked to lunar gateway somehow as a part of the station4.send it back to earth as part of the ISS or some other future station. 5.destroy by crashing in to the moon for data.
>>14829517For Polaris Dawn, which is supposed to be happening in 3 months although they still haven't released anything yet
>>14829518Send the depot to refuel it.
>>14829474Medium/heavy is normally a bit outside of what startups are usually capable of. You want to start with something smaller to get the basics nailed down and build up a successful history for potential customers. Relativity is actually a good example of this, starting with Terran-1 before trying to get Terran R flying. Firefly is teaming up with Northrop Grumman for the Antares 300 which will lift in the same weight class as Antares 230 and Neutron. "Beta" will probably develop into a more advanced version of this post-acquisition, maybe with some reusability. Pivdenmash is (in theory) working on the Cyclone 4M, but domestic Ukrainian rockets were a dodgy proposition before the current war. There's a few ideas that have been floated by Chinese "space corporations" that would be in this class, but those groups are all pretty focused on monetizing derivatives of the DF-31/41 ICBM, so I'd be surprised if any of those plans are more than talk. None of those groups are really startups in the proper sense. Firefly teamed up with big aerospace, Pivden is an old Soviet design bureau, and the Chinese companies are all just the PLA hiding behind a shell corporation. It'd be nice to see more players trying to go straight for 10,000kg/LEO but the ones that do try (Beal, Kistler) usually don't turn out all that well.
>>14827840>22 years labor campGulag is back on the menu.
>>14829518I wonder if you could fit it with solar electric propulsion unit that take a few months to get back to LEO for refuelling
>>14829518>1.do unmanned landing on the moon with reserve fuel and keep it there as an emergency moonbase for later missionstoo little fuel>2.reuse it for future manned missionstoo little fuel>3.keep it docked to lunar gateway somehow as a part of the stationtoo little docking ports>4.send it back to earth as part of the ISS or some other future station. too little fuel>5.destroy by crashing in to the moon for data.maybe enough fuel
>>14829527i think stoke has picked a good place to aim at for a first rocket-1.6 tons to leo is decent, and i doubt they stop with that

>>14829602spacex has a warm relationship with israel-they put an israeli citizen in orbit recently and israel is an enthusiastic member of the artemis accords, with several major companies involved in space technology. how is the non-jew gates funding a rocket start up a jewish plot to move into an industry they already have a strong role in?
>>14829542It'd be interesting to see just how much they can scale up their design. Their second stage engine is supposed to be integrated into an actively cooled all-metallic thermal protection system. That sort of design might have a hard upper limit on just how big it can go.
>>14829614love the rick and mortar style
>>14829023yeah they accelerate too quickly and leave my range too fast to reliably hit with birdshot
>>14829409kek, that makes me think that if Zubrin were a billionaire and as popular as Musk he would've been cancelled long ago lmao
>>14829630he's an odd duck-on some level i don't think he's ever fully shed being a LaRouchite. even when i don't agree with him i always find his writings interesting. i'm going to miss him when he dies, which i really hope doesn't happen until he gets a chance to see humans on mars.

>>14829788Raptor was never developed for a booster in its inception circa 2009. It was meant to be a hydrolox upper stage engine for Falcon. At that time, Merlin 2 was meant to power their super heavy lifters, the Falcon X line, using kerolox.

This person is fundamentally broken in a way that makes them dangerous to others. Behave accordingly.

>>14830271By realistic I meant something more akin to a sandbox spaceflight simulator rather than some Star Wars game in which physics are nonexistent and you are locked in some area in space where you can't do anything else except for shooting the bad guys. And also having decent graphics, Kerbin in unmodded KSP is a giant pixel for goodness' sake. And lastly replace the kerbals with humans, imagine the kino footage we could get of our games.Also, it's not necessary for it to be super hard for the average player or basically require an engineering degree to be able to play it, if that's what you mean by boring. It could have several levels of difficulty, all the way up to something like Realism Overhaul in steroids.

>>14830456Fucking lurk more. The rule exists to prevent idiots competing against each other by making threads early which on a slow board like /sci/ would mean multiple ongoing threads. The way to stop it is simple and doesn't require moderation staff, early threads simply won't be used. This thread was a one-off.
>>14830451pretty sure stampanon is not the /n/ schizo, and I’m almost certain stampanon is also finnanon
>>14830475I don't like finnanon/stampanon either, but they're not actual trash like the schizo
>>14830474>This thread was a one-off.wrong
>>14830479stamp anon spams too much HOWEVER I happen to have printing and engraving autism and I follow a bunch of stamp accounts on twitter. Actually about 3 years ago I started a (digital) soviet stamp collection from pics I found on dvach and wikipedia and as soon as he started posting the actual physical stamps in high resolution I turned into patrick bateman with envy lmao
>>14830475That guy is just trying the start shit. The idea doesn't make any sense, if they were the same person he would legitimize the early thread by posting the archive in it.>>14830479What? He is literally the best /sfg/ poster and he goes out of his way not to attract too much attention to himself. Leave the man alone. Captcha:Twat2
>>14830487collagefag(stampfag(you)) hasn't made the last two threads
>>14830487he's a spamming nigger and I don't like him>>14830483I turn my autism towards violence mostlyfucking expensive hobby, I recommend black powder revolvers
>>14830487Its over, the jig is up, the genie is out of the bottleStampfag IS the schizo
>>14830267KSP2 should be developed by a bunch of qualified autists as a side hobby, as opposed to some SphereOfInfluence game devs larping about knowing orbital mechanics. That way their passion translates directly to the game, and it isn't dumbed down for people to stream "lmao exploding rockets" on Twitch as the FOTM game.
>>14830533I don't really think KSP 2 would ever get big on twitch, not even as a fotw/m thing. It's just very non-conducive to that type of audience.
>>14830534I remember when the full version first released, it got "big" on Youtube when let's players made videos and they couldn't understand how SRBs worked. Now it has gone back to being gatekept by spaceflight enthusiasts.
>>14830456fuck off
>>14830474This fag did the exact same shit on /toy/, it's targeted general ruining garbage. Any good mod would rangeban him for good measure.
>>14830548We just need to make a proper new general once this one hits page ten and ignore the other one. And if mods delete the real one then we chimp out.
>85% of Globalstar’s capacity will be allocated to iPhoneshttps://twitter.com/DJSnM/status/1567729429908160513lol wtf
>>14830557Stop fucking up generals you ass
>>14830576Okay, newfag op.
>>14830576We've restored decorum in the general this way in the past, and we'll continue to do it in the future
>>14830561SpaceX wins again.
>>14829960Elaborate.
>>14830710no voice for SOS SAT applel thingonly short messages and it may take 10 min to send
wait apple is funding globalstar? they have a 3,080 satellite megaconstellation under development.https://spacenews.com/globalstar-agrees-terms-with-global-customer-for-terrestrial-connectivity/i thought they were just running with a few satellites but it looks like apple is helping them grow. looks like they're using rocketlab too, so rocketlab will have launches secured for a long time.

>>14831021Yup >>14828836
>>14831006And our government were retarded enough to try and bail them out
So the design of HLS has changed once again. You can see that solar panels on the nosecone are missing, which implies that they're now most likely retractable.
>>14831106>>14831106>>14831106Proper new thread
>>14831074Solar panels won't be exposed during launch, they're way too sensitive for that
>>14830576Mods better clean up the extra spam thread then>>14830577retard
