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

Designing Dragonfly, NASA’s Titan explorer (the article is a year old)
---
https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/features/designing-dragonfly-nasas-titan-explorer/
> 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.

> 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/national/telangana/skyroot-aerospace-raises-225-crore-funding/article67475715.ece
> 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-founders-offer-to-take-company-private/
> 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.

Airbus and Voyager sign agreement with ESA on Starlab commercial space station

https://spacenews.com/airbus-and-voyager-sign-agreement-with-esa-on-starlab-commercial-space-station/
> 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.

Rocket Lab to launch hypersonic test vehicle for the Defense Innovation Unit
The suborbital payload is a scramjet-powered vehicle made by the Australian firm Hypersonix
---
https://spacenews.com/rocket-lab-to-launch-hypersonic-test-vehicle-for-the-defense-innovation-unit/
> 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.

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.

They would never hard embed (unless you're talking about splicing in a different ad for each user) because the strength of digital advertising is being able to target specific users (and being able to comprehensively and exactly measure impressions and conversions).

Hard embedding makes the first impossible and the second more difficult.

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.

Its way worse because in the past there was lot of competition. Now its a single large elite cabal controlled by handful of people at the top that share the same cocktails.

There are almost no competition, thats why you get the unified propaganda. The only remaining competition is X and the conservative media.

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.

> Frank Borman, an Air Force test pilot, astronaut, and accomplished businessman who led the first crew to fly to the Moon in 1968, died Tuesday in Montana, NASA said Thursday. He was 95 years old.
> Borman, joined by crewmates Jim Lovell and Bill Anders, orbited the Moon 10 times over the course of about 20 hours. They were the first people to see the Earth from another world, a memory of "wonderment" Borman recalled decades later. Apollo 8 produced one of the most famous photos ever taken, the iconic "Earthrise" showing a blue orb—the setting for all of human history until then—suspended in the blackness of space over the charcoal gray of the Moon's cratered surface.

https://europeanspaceflight.com/cnes-publishes-call-for-the-demonstration-of-reusable-launch-systems/
> The launch directorate of the French space agency CNES has published a call to support industry-led demonstrations of semi-reusable micro and mini-launcher systems that will include the deployment of a passenger payload.
> The call sets out strict technical requirements for the demonstration missions. The launch vehicle will first need to be successfully demonstrated in an expendable configuration. This will be followed by the first flight during which the first stage is recovered. A second flight with the recovered first stage refurbished will then need to be completed within 12 months. 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.

> 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.

---
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/10/ron-baron-expects-spacexs-starlink-to-go-public-around-2027.html
> 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 think it is essential before this launch that we agree on a catageroization of Starship as either a spaceplane or capsule

Anonymous No. 15850550

>>15850533
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

and just to add, i was amazed at how stupid the shuttle design is when i found out the tail actually can't be used during entry because its not in the airstream, so they had to rely fully on rcs for yaw control. 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

It's a capsule

The "wings" aren't actuated control surfaces; they're there for stability purposes. It's the same thing as the lifting body re-entry of the Apollo capsule: it uses the atmosphere but it doesn't maneuver with it

>The original X-37 was to feature an AR-2/3 engine for maneuvering and deorbiting, which uses Hydrogen Peroxide and JP-8 as oxidizer and fuel. Later the propulsion system has been changed to a hypergolic nitrogen tetroxide / hydrazine version with a robust propellant load for maneuvering in space and for the deorbit burn.

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)
