Was SS carrying a dummy payload?

If not it's a bit worrying that it almost completely exhausted its fuel an was still short of orbital velocity by some distance.

If there was no payload, why would they load full tanks of propellant? Amount of fuel was adjusted for the ship's weight, with or without payload.

there could be a bit of fuckery going on here since nobody knows the dimensions or weight of the payload. Expect the new line from Common Snese Skepticians and ThunderfEEt to be that the payload was much lighter than we would expect and that SS chronically underperforms.

and there is plausible room for chronic underperformance if the ship doesnt shake off enough ice during the launch and carries it to orbit. Seems like a paradox here where if they make a more substantial stage 0 then pressure waves will knock off less tiles, but it will also knock off less ice decreasing ship performance

Unfortunately Elon has been going with more realistic estimates over the past year or two, which make me anxious because I havent been able to tell if he is as confident as ever but just counciously revising to more conservative figures, or if hes losing reach of the mars idea.

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.

> 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.

i think getting the tower to grab the ships and boosters is going to be really fucking hard
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

they would have to build completely new infrastructure to build it, move it around, launch it, catching it would with the chopsticks might not even be possible without modifying the chopsticks, the testing from that would only transfer partly to the actual real boosters they are building, the damage from a half-size booster would not be that much smaller than from the full size one

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
just like they did with Falcon 9

Thinking about the boostback burn, have raptors ever been shut down and relit so quickly?
I understand it's more than likely a fueling issue but even the center engines experienced some very rapid changes in operation, assuming it when from full throttle to minimum and back again.

This is just becoming embarrassing...

>36 sea level + 3 vac engines thrown away
>Complete disrespect for the precision necessary in aerospace applications
>Idiotic "hot" staging...

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.

It seems that there was clearly an explosive decompression event of some kind at this timestamp from the ship. Like an engine failure or hydraulics failure. Enough that in the few seconds that followed, all telemetry from all 6 engines ceases and then the FTS immediately disassembles the Starship.

Ok so I guess 33 engines all firing with no flaws for 2:40min is no big deal because some minor problems might or might not be happening inside

Remember this doesn't have to be perfect it just has to work, you have the NASA mindset of chasing perfection, the engines and plumbing must be perfect and with 0 margin for error, that's how you end up designing shit like the RS-25 which was nearly flawless but cost hundreds of millions and required lengthy refurbishment

Clearly you don't get SpaceX's ethos, but look at Falcon 9 for what it looks like, only company to still be recovering boosters to this day.

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.

This "ethos" of cost-cutting and rushing it might be fine for other tech-bro companies, but it's not appropriate for spaceflight.

Perhaps a more precise statement would be

>Starship is an ambitious and immensely complex new engineering project, with few or no precedents

>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.

Booster will be easier because it should be able to throttle down to hover. Also they know what they want to do, and aren't going to waste tries on midwit bullshit like parachute landings.
I think more important will be how long until SS can put some satellites in orbit. Then it becomes an expendable with free hardware for landing tests, just like the early F9 flights.

246 landings total, highest was 18 landings on B1058. Theyre still refurbishing B1058 which was the first in Block 5 and first launched in May 2020 but they also do expendable launches, so the last 'new' vehicle was October 2023 for B1079 which was expended and is a Block 4 ship

They had months to check and recheck this. I get developing hardware rich, but this just seems sloppy. People just not checking each other's work properly.

That being said, if this was just a literal calculation/programming error, that means the booster hardware itself might actually already be up for the entire flight profile. That would be neat.
