and there is plausible room for chronic underperformance if the ship doesnt shake off enough ice during the launch and carries it to orbit.

Investors grant Astra extension on loan, NASA still studying Orion heat shield erosion from Artemis 1
---
https://spacenews.com/investors-grant-astra-extension-on-loan/
> BERLIN — Investors in launch vehicle and spacecraft propulsion company Astra Space have given the company a four-day extension on a loan to provide the company more time to line up a longer-term funding deal.
> In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission late Nov. 17, Astra announced that JMCM Holdings LLC and SherpaVentures Fund II, LLP has agreed to extend the maturity date of a loan, provided earlier this month, by four days to Nov. 21.
> Those investors had provided the bridge loan, originally valued at $3.05 million, as part of an interim financing deal announced Nov. 6. The deal, with an overall value of $13.4 million, included buying an earlier loan to the company as well as the purchase of stock warrants.

https://spacenews.com/nasa-still-studying-orion-heat-shield-erosion-from-artemis-1/
> BERLIN — A year after the launch of the Artemis 1 mission, NASA is continuing to study the performance of the heat shield on the Orion spacecraft, a review that may take several more months to complete.
> Jim Free, NASA associate administrator for exploration systems development, said at a Nov. 17 meeting of the NASA Advisory Council’s human exploration and operations committee that Artemis 2 remained on schedule for launch on the Orion spacecraft’s first crewed mission late next year, but that NASA would not proceed until it was sure it understood the problem and made any changes.
> In the months after Artemis 1 NASA managers said that they noted more erosion of the material on the heat shield than expected during reentry.

if they don't make a half size booster and launch it at a suborbital pad and make it hover over to the orbital mount to try grab it with the tower arms for a minute before it flies up and goes back to the suborbital pad then they're lining themselves up for a really hard time
proving you can do it before actually trying to grab a big bomb that HAS to be caught to prevent damage would prevent a possible catastrophic explosion

one thing they could do without new infrastructure and so on is to just make a shorter version of the booster but otherwise keep it the same thickness and so on, but even then you would have different aerodynamics and again, the damage from a half-length would not really be that much less than from a full size one
not sure what you mean with "small", but I of course assumed it would mean scaled in all dimension equally, not just the lenght
doing a cut off "mini" booster would still be kind of pointless as again, they can start using these starship test flights for launching starlinks, so actual get some useful things out of it while they continue testing the other systems like landing

Shouldn't SpaceX be able to do some simple separation rockets? It makes one wonder what's even going on in there

>It STILL explodes

I feel profound shame every time this launches. It completely erodes the prestige associated with studying aerospace engineering. Spoiler alert: it's not "fun" like popsci pseuds make it out to be. Aerospace engineering is a precise discipline. If you don't respect the exactitude required, you get what we've seen in the last few "starship" launches.

It's sort of like letting a retard into university. Even if you "admit" them, they still don't have the capacity to perform. In like manner, trying to do aerospace manufacturing in a tent and welding everything by hand doesn't produce a launch vehicle: you get an amusing novelty at best.

Meanwhile, with actual launch vehicles
>Saturn V: works on first flight (as in NO EXPLOSION)
>SLS: Functions perfectly, sends Orion into a perfect cislunar trajectory

Why? Because these systems took their time and did things right. Trying to do something but doing it wrong only results in waste.

You will never be a real launch vehicle. You have no credibility for human rating. You have no inherent redundancy. Your skin is a mottled patchwork of scrap welded together in a tent, instantly discernible from the smooth perfection of a real pressure vessel. Real aerospace engineers can detect an unsalvageable system with faultless accuracy, and you will never fool anyone.

All the "validation" you get -- all the sóyboys' ebullient cheering -- comes from the empty minds of the laity. Real engineers mock you. You bring shame to the American aerosoace industry.

Eventually, the forces of a launch will be too much for your imperfection to handle, your tank will fail, and the RSO will send the command to unzip you.

While running 33 engines for 2:40 might be significant, it's nowhere near what Musk's publicly stated intent demands:

>Fly a booster (chill, start)
>boostback (restart)
>retropropulsion (restart)
>land (resart, with enough accuracy to be caught)

and repeat multiple times a day.

The operational stresses on everything in those engines (and the encompassing booster systems) are going to be enormous. If it's failing now, when is it going to fail then?

And the Space Shuttle never had an engine-related loss: Challenger was human error by deviating from operational bounds, and the foam strike was because they wanted to redo the foam to avoid CFCs or something similar.

>SpaceX is using sloppy manufacturing and validation practices

>Consequently, major, unpredictable failures are likely to occur

>Therefore, the system is unsafe and irresponsibly developed

In opposition, the Falcon 9 used well-established launch vehicle design, manufacturing, and deployment practices. SpaceX simply modulated the enactment of these practices, with the aim of optimizing efficiency. Even the booster landings were not an entirely novel area of development, with existing technologies utilized in concert to achieve a modest new goal. This resulted in cost reductions and cadence improvements, while preserving a safety profile comparable to prior systems.

Even so, extrapolating this to a completely novel system (like starship) is unreasonable. The best historical record is the N-1, and the present performance of starship is comparable.

By the looks of it, yes. The timestamp shows a significant outgassing inconsistent with engine output behavior and also inconsistent with what an FTS would do. It was also asymmetric in that it was on one side only. So I strongly suspect a decompression failure of some kind: either one of the RVACs exploded or the hydraulics in the skirt exploded and the surrounding shrapnel punctured other engines that the FTS computer found the ship to be have asymmetric directional thrust, which would deviate it from its flight profile and that triggered the explosive charges and destroyed the ship.

We know from IFT1 that the booster is insanely robust to damage and atmospheric stresses at least towards the engine side. However, the Ship may not be nearly as much. The thing to keep an eye out for Ship 26's changes or the next iteration, if they skip over it for IFT3, is there's added reinforcement to the engine skirt and ranks as well as to the shield. If we see that, then the aforementioned above would prove true. If we don't see that, then it might just be a hydraulics failure and the move to eTVC for the ship will fix that too.

Starship is a scam.
Elon knows it, but keeps selling Mars occupation while showing the world a failure each 6 months, which he dresses as "success" because the rocket managed to lift off, or "learning".

The reality is that all this can be engineered instead of improvising with real hardware.

The entire stack is faulty and inefficient in its conception. Everybody knows this, NASA and oldspace know this, they are just waiting for the inevitably coming catastrophic failure that will end Elon's credibility for good.

Reusability, refueling, starship landing, etc. All salesman lies.

50/50 on that. A lack of a flame diverter, led to a volcano underneath the launch pad and caused catastrophic damage to stage 0, just about. However, the Super Heavy Bidet is a flame deflector, and that seems to do the job--so a full diverter is unnecessary. It's a compromise, which is in the nature of life.

Water absorbs energy and then releases them as vapor. This has the effect of both reducing the energy from the blast and reducing the noise as well. Another benefits of water spray is it creates a layer of buffer for ground due to the water being pushed upwards. Then another benefit is that the water ejection quickly disperses the heat energy from the stand outward to reduce the concentration of energy within the blast zone.

Lots of benefits

The leading theory for that is the over-fast flip caused by Starship plume impingement on the side of the vehicle, leading to aggressive propellant slosh that exposed the fuel intakes for some of the engines and ultimately burst the propellant lines.

ULA will be fine if it trims off the fat and downsizes even more than it already has since the United Space Alliance days. Tory is leaning all in on government contracts and deep space scientific payloads. Starship is extremely good as a LEO transporter and as a Mars transportation system, it will dominante commercial space and lay the groudnwork which all rivals and chink startups will copy, but its not very good for high energy or complex orbits. Starship can't burn into a geostationary orbit and then deploy a spy sat, it can only do GTO, and more importantly the mission archietecture of 6 to 14 tanker flights for a high energy trajectory will not be stealthy at all. Expect ULA (or whatever its called in the future) to be getting more military payloads than SpaceX even if Starship is cheaper per flight than falcon.

It's true though. Small launchers are a meme. Why do you think SpaceX abandoned Falcon 1 the instant they could?
And Falcon 9 cant bus payloads to special orbits unless they bring their own propulsion to finish the job.
Starship will be able to do everything Falcon can do but better. However a super specialized rocket for autistic spysat and science missions will still have a market. why do you think Perseverance whent to Mars on a ULA rocket? it wasnt all corruption.

Retard you have to multiply by 4, February and March is the most probable date. Remember Musk initially said 2 months for IFT-2? Then it went out to 7, you have to multiply his predictions by 4.

>>15874158
the conversion ratio is actually 2.5x calculated from the mean of his predictions if I remember correctly, so 7.5-10 weeks, so late January to early February
it was a while ago, so it is possible the conversion ratio has gotten higher as Musks predictions got worse/more delayed, especially with covid affecting things

So can we agree to not use the other two threads when we stage? Mostly because of >>15874456 >>15874466 >>15874410 >>15874458 these posts, it seems like theyre getting shit up, and one literally says it was made with the purpose of getting deleted and is intentionally dog shit, so it would probably just be better to make a new thread instead of reusing the old ones. Also want to point out, that if we do reuse one of the old ones, even if its the better of the two (not really saying much), it would probably mean that we have to reuse the other thread too with the all caps. I dont know about you guys, but I really dont want to suffer through that second thread, and it will probably be alive until the following stage as well. I mean we could if you guys want that, but just want to know what we're planning on doing since stage is coming up on both image and page count. Again, if /sfg/ wants to retain continuity then lets use those threads but jeez are they bad. Would probably not set a good example either.

The absolutely batshit part of this, is that the 4 second on the pad followed by rapid clearance is done with Raptor2s still. Raptor3's will likely reduce that down to 2, maybe 3 seconds post ignition before it takes off--as they are adding 14.7% more thrust to the vehicle over current.

We didn't get this far as a species with a lack of vaccinations you donut. The covid vaccine situation was bad because it was a forced mandate, not that the vaccine itself was necessarily bad. mRNA is a major step forward for medicine, and mRNA based medical delivery is something that's been worked on since the early late 1980s. It's not an overnight creation and push as many imply it is.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Katalin-Kariko

>In 1985, with no further funding to support her research at the BRC, Karikó moved to the United States, where she accepted a position as a postdoctoral researcher at Temple University in Philadelphia. Four years later she took a position at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). There, with American cardiologist Elliot Barnathan, she demonstrated that mRNA, when inserted into cells, could be used to direct the production of new proteins. The breakthrough inspired her to pursue the study of mRNA-based gene therapy.
>By the late 1990s, however, Karikó’s work on mRNA and gene therapy had stalled—again, for lack of funding.
>Both researchers were interested in the possibility of using mRNA to stimulate the body to develop immunity against viral pathogens. In initial studies, they discovered that mRNA is highly immunogenic, provoking counterproductive immune responses in the body. However, when Karikó carried out experiments with a different type of RNA molecule, transfer RNA (tRNA), she did not observe the same immunogenic effects. That observation encouraged her and Weissman to experiment with modified nucleosides, which she had known about from her work at the BRC. The researchers went on to identify associations between specific modified mRNA nucleosides and reduced immunogenicity—a breakthrough that resulted in a technology known as non-immunogenic, nucleoside-modified RNA, which was developed and patented (2005) by Karikó and Weissman.
