So in the 60s they could build all the hardware for a moonshot in a decade starting with no idea how to do it.

But in the 2000s they only build one capsule in a decade starting knowing *exactly* how to do it?

I mean, sure, they have half the budget they did, but that should get you further than this shit, right? They even had to get ESA to make the service module.

Maybe they're not as motivated because so few people care now?

The crewed missions have been halted but there's still cool stuff going on with new horizons, the rovers, OSIRIS-REx, JUICE etc.

Maybe they need more funding to innovate at spaceX level?

It is my hunch that their love of reliability is limiting them, a uncrewed mission could have a 30% failure rate at 1/10th the cost with no issues right? Isn't that what india/spacex does?

I don't know much about it

Didn't SpaceX's earlier shit fail a lot?
I don't know the failure rate for either.

Imagine they made really cheap janky rockets and launched up parts for things at $300/KG, they could make three parts for a space station and have one explode and it would be fine.

>mfw the mission is a complete and catastrophic failure.

Americans cannot into space, Let the Russians design and build the spacecraft. Or even the Europeans.

Nasa's last big idea was an ancient lifting body design that failed horribly several times and was compromised by the military to carry out retarded missions that had no net benefit on humanity Expecting any different from the latest is absurd.

SpaceX's quality control and engineering environment is really shitty and involves a lot of cost cutting. Expect a lot more failures as they progress. It's only a matter of time.

I was looking to work there until I did some research. Fuck that.

>Didn't SpaceX's earlier shit fail a lot?
First three launch attempts failed on Falcon 1. Each time, it was a different issue, and they fixed the problem.

Launch 1 was a corroded nut that failed in the first-stage engine. (It was their first demonstration of a flyback rocket: the debris landed in their machine shop.) This was with the Merlin 1A engine, which used ablative cooling, and therefore could only undergo limited testing before actual use. They responded by starting to develop a regeneratively-cooled engine, which could undergo extensive testing, and be reused without major refurbishing.

Launch 2 used the same Merlin 1A, and this time the booster worked, but there was a rough stage separation, which damaged the upper stage

Launch 3 was their first flight with the regeneratively-cooled Merlin 1C. The booster worked again, and the upper stage separated smoothly, but after separation, the booster rammed the upper stage.

Since then, they haven't had a launch failure. These (and the fourth Falcon 1 launch, which worked) were all development flights, like the maiden flights of the Falcon 9 and Falcon 9 1.1.

It wasn't so much a matter of poor reliability as a matter of their development process involving testing by flying. Everyone has some surprises during development.

See, that's where the current safety politics of NASA fail us today. In the 60s, they would have skipped to the crewed moon flyby mission. There will be no relevant data coming from this that we don't already know of.
What this mission tells me is that they're not sure how to make spacecrafts anymore.

Actually, in the Apollo program, they flew six unmanned test flights of the CSM (the Apollo capsule), four with the Saturn IB and two with the Saturn V, before trying a manned lunar flyby.

Now they're planning to do only two unmanned test flights of Orion, only one on SLS, before launching crew with a completely untried upper stage.

If anything, NASA has gotten less safety-conscious since Apollo.

really? I've heard the opposite, that they QC the fuck out of everything they make. Did that change recently?

As for engineering environment, I've heard it is more like a silicon valley startup than an aerospace contractor: informal, perks like free snacks, but long hours are expected and lots of folks burn out. No cutting corners, but they do design for low cost rather than maximum performance. Russia is where all the QC faults and cutting corners is happening.

>they do design for low cost rather than maximum performance
There isn't really anything you can call "performance" on a launch vehicle, though.

Normally, "performance" would mean something like speed or maneuverability, but all launch vehicles have to go to orbital speed and none of them are maneuverable in any meaningful sense.

There's just the amount of payload you can get through the atmosphere and up to a certain speed. But on other types of vehicles, that would be called "capacity" not "performance".

And SpaceX is certainly not aiming for low capacity. The Falcon Heavy will be roughly twice as powerful as the next nearest competitor, except for the SLS, if that ever gets done.

Other things where you could make meaningful cost/"performance" tradeoffs in a launch vehicle are also hard to find. A high failure rate is too costly to accept: you get nothing out of building the rocket and you destroy a satellite costing tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. So there's no money to save there, so SpaceX makes things as reliable as possible. The labor is the most expensive thing, so using cheaper, inferior materials just means you're making inefficient use of your expensive labor, and losing valuable capacity. So SpaceX uses state-of-the-art materials and gets the best mass ratio.

As for the engines, there are two measures of performance: specific impulse and thrust-to-weight ratio, and there's a tradeoff between them. SpaceX gets the best thrust-to-weight ratio, which is part of why they can build the biggest rocket.

I'd say for a whole launch vehicle, there isn't such a thing as "performance" which you can sacrifice. The launch business is only about cost, capacity, reliability, and schedule. Getting inflexible ideas about how they should be achieved, like by maxing out specific impulse or minimizing liftoff mass, is just bad engineering, not engineering for performance.

The uncrewed test flight of the Orion spacecraft will reach an altitude of 3,600 miles before re-entering the atmosphere to demonstrate the capsule's heat shield.

I actually live right up the street from NASA, I could walk to mission control right now if I wanted too.

People don't talk about this but about 2 years a guy in a laboratory around here figured out some serious shit on plasma propulsion and gave some speeches about how to get to mars in like a few weeks and the moon in less than a day using plasma engines. It started to get some track and as soon the new administration and politicians faggots got wind of it they cut it out. It wasn't much, or guaranteed to be the future, but it was a big step the right direction.

NO-ONE thinks "unmanned" means anything different than "uncrewed",
Except that "uncrewed" COULD actually mean there are passengers on board, but no crew.

Technically true, but the term has never been used with respect to any craft that are configured to carry passengers.

Nevertheless, I did originally say it's a MORE accurate term, not the best one. Ultimately I would prefer the use of 'uninhabited'.

>>6922405

Come to think of it, 'unmanned' suffers the same explanatory shortcoming as 'uncrewed' does by your reckoning. To 'man' something means to crew/operate it, which is different from being a passenger.

>>6922463

No it isn't.

And I don't care if you're tired, check your spelling.

>>6922470

Just because the term is currently recognized as such by dictionary sources doesn't mean it wouldn't be optimal to change to something else. Seeing as we as a species commonly differentiate between the sexes/genders, but are evolving into a society where they are undifferentiated in terms of various roles, I would prefer that such terms reflect that new paradigm.

A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism.[1][2] It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species population.[3]

jfk told the world that america was going to the moon. nasa were shit scared but got money thrown at them and they pulled that shit together.

things have changed. there were huge plans for the shuttle program that were unrealised. we were supposed to be on mars by now and we quite possibly could have done it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 4 12:29:43 2014 No.6923606 Had russia won the race to the moon, we'd have colonies on mars by now. Murikkans only care when they can weave their mutilated jew slave cocks at the world
