I dont know why people are saying 5 or 6 engines will fail ... The engines from ITF-1 were the first batch of the Raptor 2's , we are already in the 300 something batch .
ITF-2 has engines with the serial number 120-150s , so those on the middle .
1 or max 2 engines will fail during the whole flisght

I've just been using them as the first stage engine for my TSTO double spaceplane (Boeing style shuttle proposal) with seven (7!!) (VII) terriers as the second stage engines)
because I'm using the S3 fatso tanks it is only stable at AoA below ~40 degrees, if you try to go side-on to the airstream you lose control authority and it becomes exceedingly stable in a flat spin and you plummet from space to the ground
it is VERY funny when this happens

I've always said, IFT1 obviously happened so that SpaceX could get more money ahead of the funding round. Raptor development is in deep trouble. They launched with no chance of sucess and knew it would make the pad inoperable becuase self destructiong the pad and then having an excuse was better than the world knowing the horrible state of the raptor.

Higher interest rates => tougher competition for investment dollars (public or private). No dithering for years in development hell. You need to be getting cash now now now.

Designing Dragonfly, NASA’s Titan explorer (the article is a year old)
---
https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/f
> A planetary lander that can fly to new sampling sites will be able to do far more surface science than a slow, trundling rover. Easy flight in the super-dense atmosphere and ultra-low gravity of Saturn’s cryogenic moon, Titan, makes it the perfect celestial body on which to test the idea. Paul Marks spoke to the team behind NASA’s Dragonfly.
> In 2034, high above Saturn’s largest moon, the handiwork performed years earlier by engineers at a laboratory in Maryland will snap into action, if all goes as planned. After a six-and-a-half-year cruise through deep space, punctuated by a gravity assist from Venus, a NASA-funded probe will plunge into the thick orange haze of Titan’s upper atmosphere, a heat shield protecting the planetary explorer ensconced in its aeroshell from the incandescence of atmospheric entry.
> This explorer, Dragonfly, will be unique in the annals of space exploration. An octocopter roughly the size of a Mini Cooper, it will fly out of the aeroshell and descend to its nominal flight altitude of 400 meters, where it will train lidar and high-resolution cameras on the terrain below to seek a safe, solid landing spot.

> Why so long? Titan’s smog-laden atmosphere extends up to an altitude of over 1,200 kilometers, or 10 times higher than the atmosphere of Mars. At the surface, its density is 4.3 times that of Earth’s, and its atmospheric pressure is 1.4 times higher. And with only one-seventh of Earth’s gravity gently tugging the spacecraft down, the consequence is a very slow descent indeed.
> Once safely on the surface, Dragonfly can begin what its designers hope will be more than three years of science operations at dozens of sites. After landing, the drone will sample the surface material beneath it, analyze its chemistry and beam its data to Earth. But unlike wheeled rovers, it can then start its rotors again and fly off to some very different, and very distant, geological locations — using its cameras to navigate optically, informed by mapping data gleaned from flybys of NASA’s Cassini probe — and do another batch of surface science.

Skyroot Aerospace raises ₹225 crore funding

https://www.thehindu.com/news/natio
> India’s leading private space-tech company, Skyroot Aerospace has raised an additional US$ 27.5 million, equivalent to ₹225 crore, in a pre-Series C funding round led by Temasek, a global investment company headquartered in Singapore on Monday.
> Skyroot Aerospace, founded in 2018, successfully launched India’s and South Asia’s first, and till date the only, privately developed rocket on November 2022, marking the Indian private space sector’s entry into the space launch market. The company offers on-demand, cost-effective, reliable and regular space launch services to the fast-expanding global small and medium-sized satellite market, with satellite operators who look to deploy single or constellations of satellites across orbits as its customers.
> It was the first startup to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) which grants access to cutting-edge facilities and unparalleled expertise. With its Vikram series of rockets, specially designed to deploy small and medium-sized satellites into space efficiently and reliably, Skyroot is poised to transform the space launch capabilities of the country, according to the release.

Astra founders offer to take company private

https://spacenews.com/astra-founder
> CEDAR PARK, Texas — Two founders of Astra Space have offered to take the launch vehicle and spacecraft propulsion company private for nearly $30 million.
> In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Nov. 9, the company said it received a non-binding offer from Chris Kemp and Adam London, chief executive and chief technology officer respectively of Astra, to take the company private at $1.50 per share. That would be more than double the $0.74 share price the company had at the close of trading Nov. 8. The deal would value the company at nearly $30 million.
> In a letter to that special committee, Kemp and London said they were responding to a request from that committee to make an offer. “We believe that Astra’s strategic objectives and business prospects will be best served as a private company,” they wrote. “Taking the company private while delivering a meaningful premium to current shareholders allows for the best interests of shareholders as well as the Company, its employees and its customers to be met.”
> Kemp and London did not disclose their sources of financing for their proposal but said they “anticipate raising $60–65 million of capital.” That funding would cover buying the outstanding shares, transaction expenses and bridge financing while the deal closes. They added their plans are also based on the expectation the company will close an ongoing funding round of $15 million to $25 million the company announced last month.

https://spacenews.com/airbus-and-vo
> CEDAR PARK, Texas — The European Space Agency has signed an agreement with Airbus and Voyager Space to study potential use of the companies’ Starlab commercial space station as a successor to the International Space Station.
> Airbus and Voyager said Nov. 9 they signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ESA during the European Space Summit in Seville, Spain, earlier in the week. (Dylan Taylor, chairman and chief executive of Voyager Space, is the vice chairman and a shareholder of Multiverse Media Inc., the parent company of SpaceNews.)
> ESA could also provide cargo and crew transportation for Starlab, the companies added. The agency is starting a commercial cargo initiative it announced at the summit Nov. 6 that seeks to have a vehicle ready for missions by 2028. That cargo vehicle could later evolve into a crewed vehicle.
> “This agreement with the European Space Agency is critical as we continue to foster international collaboration in the space domain and move towards succeeding the International Space Station with Starlab,” Matthew Kuta, president of Voygaer Space, said in the statement. “We look forward to working with Airbus and ESA to extend Europe’s footprint in space and ensure they remain a leader in the new generation of commercial space exploration.”
> “Our collaboration on this next-generation space station builds on a long and successful partnership between ESA and Airbus in developing and operating a wide range of crewed and uncrewed spacecraft,” Mike Schoellhorn, chief executive of Airbus Defence and Space, said in a statement.

https://spacenews.com/rocket-lab-to
> WASHINGTON — Rocket Lab announced a new mission for its suborbital launch vehicle — a 3D-printed hypersonic drone built by Australia’s Hypersonix for the U.S. Defense Department.
> The mission, projected for early 2025, is funded by DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit. DIU, based in Silicon Valley, works with commercial space companies to help fill military technology needs. The suborbital mission awarded to Rocket Lab is part of DIU’s HyCat project, short for hypersonic and high-cadence testing capabilities.
> In a Nov. 8 news release, Rocket Lab said DIU’s mission is the seventh on its suborbital launch manifest.
> DIU’s payload will be scramjet-powered hypersonic vehicle made by the Australian company Hypersonix. The 660-pound drone is about 9.8-foot-long and has a 3D-printed airframe.
> “The HyCat mission will demonstrate HASTE’s ‘direct inject’ capability by deploying the Hypersonix payload during ascent, while still within Earth’s atmosphere,” said Rocket Lab.

That error caused a chain connecting the crane to the beams to snap and strike Rios in the face. Another worker who was present confirmed Rios’ account.

If it common sense was common, we wouldn't be in this situation. The legal mess we have in this country are created due to ~250 years of laws being written in without any expiration dates.
All laws must have expiration dates. Anything important can have 20 year expiration dates. Anything personal can have 5-10 year expiration dates. Entire libraries are created to maintain old laws that have never expired. And libraries upon libraries to interpret those old laws.

The point is that the company should make sure that employees don't have to rely on easily missable hand signs and instead have a voice link of some sort or something. If they then still don't use it, the company can argue that it did everything to provide a safe way of doing things. Safety measures are as much liability protection as they are actual injury protection, it's a win-win if done properly.

Let’s be very honest again. We don’t have a commercially available universe-sized hard vacuum. Space may someday come about. It’s on the drawing board right now. The atmosphere is real. You've seen it down at Michoud. We're building the troposphere. We have all the strata done, ready to be put on the surface of the Earth at Stennis. I don't see any hardware for an outer space, except that he's going to take an atmosphere and remove all the gas and that becomes outer space. It's not that easy in cosmogony.

OK with those comparisons it looks somewhat reasonable. Still a shame for the injuries of course and SpaceX should properly report to OSHA as required but at least generally in line with what are probably not unreasonable comparisons.
As a more general observation after reading the article though I do have to say those OSHA fines should be about three orders of magnitude higher for a company of this size, if someone dies or has a career-ending injury with OSHA finding safety violations, it should be an actual cost of doing business instead of a mere annoyance. Even if you add three zeros to all those fines it'd probably still cost SpaceX less than an F9 launch per year, but at least it'd be noticeable.

Each demonstration mission must also provide the capacity for experiments chosen by CNES. The exact capacity allocated to the agency will be up to the provider.
> The most significant of the technical requirements, though, is that the demonstration missions must prove the capability of the launch vehicle to achieve a performance (payload capacity) consistent with the market on which its business model is based.

SpaceX is gearing up for the second flight of Starship
---
https://www.washingtonpost.com/tech
> While future moon-bound astronauts will launch on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and fly to the moon in the Orion capsule, Starship is the spacecraft that is supposed ferry them to and from the lunar surface. Officially, NASA’s plan is to land astronauts there by 2025. But that timeline is likely to slip, perhaps significantly. One of the concerns is that Starship requires its propellant tank to be refilled while in Earth’s orbit by a fleet of Starship tankers in an immensely complicated choreography. None of those tankers have been launched — or built. And before NASA allows its astronauts to board Starship, SpaceX will have had to have flown the vehicle many times to prove its reliability.

About 50 min until Transporter 9 launch window opens
https://www.spacex.com/launches/mis
> SpaceX is targeting Saturday, November 11 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-9 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 55-minute launch window opens at 10:49 a.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity Sunday, November 12 with the same window.
>A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about 10 minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
>The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, Transporter-8, and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
>Transporter-9 is SpaceX’s ninth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. There will be 90 payloads on this flight deployed by Falcon 9, including CubeSats, MicroSats, and orbital transfer vehicles carrying an additional 23 spacecraft to be deployed at a later time.

Ron Baron expects SpaceX’s Starlink to go public around 2027
---
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/10/ron
> Billionaire investor Ron Baron told CNBC on Friday that he expects SpaceX to IPO its Starlink satellite internet service “in 2027 or so.”
> “We think that by the time they go public with SpaceX, with Starlink ... in 2027 or so, four years, the company will be worth $250 billion to $300 billion,” Baron said, speaking to CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin.
> The company’s leadership, including Musk, have discussed spinning off Starlink to take it public through an initial public offering once the business was “in a smooth sailing situation.” But timing of a Starlink IPO remains uncertain. Last year, Musk told employees that taking the business public wasn’t likely until 2025 or later.
> Asked why Musk would take public part or all of his space company, which has been private since its founding in 2002, Baron said “a lot of people have been investors for a long time and they probably want exits.”

I guarantee you he won't take all of SpaceX public, I think Musk is very familiar with the problems of public companies with Tesla
and if he has the majority voting power, can't he just tell those investors to go fuck themselves? Taking even Starlink public seems like a mistake, does SpaceX really need that much capital that quickly? I guess they might if they start building multiple launch sites and factories in parallel to start spamming Starships for Mars and just the cashflows from Starlink at 2027 won't be enough

its clearly a spaceplane. what capsule has actuated flaps and enters with its belly facing the air? It's just a logical evolution. We went from aeroplanes optimized for flight performance, to shuttle, with brick like aero characteristics and the ability to just about land without stalling and killing the crew if the nose is pitched up 30 degrees and its traveling half the speed of sound, to starship which is a super brick and in a stall mode the entire way down

It just seems like carrying a massive chunk of dead weight at that point. Liek a vestigial tail from back when it ws a normal aeroplane

I fucking told you nutoddlers nothing ever fucking happens but nooo I'm just a jewish oldspace shill who CLEARLY isnt warning you that FWS will do anything in their power to stop E, but just a fun hating tranny trying to ruin the launch! Well look now, I'm vindicated AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Why do the feds control airspace. Shouldn't states control their airspace?

Rocketship sounds more childish and less grandiose than Starship.

the rotors might not function in liquid and it would just sink, not to mention communication etc
flying next to one to take pictures would be cool though

isn't the liquid methane more dense than the atmosphere which I presume is a gas?

the methane density 0,657 kg/m3
titans atmosphere is 1.5 bar with 95% nitrogen
you think the drone is going to just work in the ocean? lol

and to top it off, pure water isn't going to cause a electrical short either
its the dissolved ions in the water that make it conduct electricity, not the pure water
but that wasn't why I thought it would not be good to take a dive with the drone, its that the liquid methane is much, much denser than the atmosphere, pretty analogous to earths atmosphere vs liquid water ocean (methane is about 65% the density which is close enough to water to be analogous)
