No they have to first burn through all the V1s and then they will probably go for V2s. Also, they haven't even made a V2 yet and this isn't even confirmed to be the first ring for one so definitely not. Still, preeettty exciting I have to say, a new era of Starship and we atleast seem to be getting the first glimpses into it right now.

Reason I made it V2 edition was because I really doubt that they would destack ships with most of them stacked at this point and precedence, the only V1 not stacked is S33 which is literally getting scrapped as we speak.

Yeah, it was embarrassing. He took a week's dive into a complex program that involves multiple big government contractors and years of congressional funding politics and then lectured an audience who knew more about it than him. Not to mention he don't know how fast Starship is iterating, how disruptive the concept is nor of the finer details and flexibility of HLS. And all that nonsense about thinking apollo era thinking should be applied to artemis is retarded. We're not trying to land a 4 cubic meter tin can for a few days on the moon with infinite money backing the effort. The goals are entirely different and to achieve them you need to have Starship and its 1 cubic kilometer of payload volume. Not his greatest moment even if he had some decent points in regards to lack of proper communication.

I liked it, he rambled a bit but the core arguments against the mission architecture are solid, problem is they are stuck with the designs they have and I doubt anyone in congress will listen if modern NASA says they need to go back to the drawing board.
Maybe they will have to kill a crew to get the same political power the Apollo engineers got.

neptune is about 30 AU away from the sun. For solar lens telescope you would need to go about 500 AU. With pinpoint accurcy which relative position moves constantly with the orbit of the exoplant you want to observe

they're not oldspace though. With Vulcan, SLS and A6, you have a general idea of how things go: very delayed, very expensive and somewhat shoddy but also not likely to explode catastrophically. But New Glenn is actually somewhat ambitious: They are actually trying booster reuse + they have a new CEO. It could turn out like every oldspace launch, it could also explode/fail in an interesting way (see new shepard).

I forgot my point here: supersonic flight has Max Q in it at 2gs, this occurs at a good time to drop debris on Orlando
if the structure sustained heat damage during hypersonic reentry it's going to fail at or before Max Q

2Gs isn't a lot of force, relatively speaking, and it would require a pretty serious failure of the structures to experience that, but at the same time, it would have to survive reentry heating. This failure model seems pretty unlikely.

it's not that improbable. Long March 10 is also well into development and it's a pretty conservative design. China's deep space capsule has been in the works for almost as long as Orion and their lander is simple. They plans to have boots on the moon by 2029 and it's not impossible that they could do it sooner. Artemis is also well into development but still has a few pretty ambitious milestones to hit. A significant issue on Artemis II could be enough to delay the landing by a year or two and its already penciled in for 2027, so there's not that much of a lead on the Chinese.

China seems remarkably resistant to go fever. The various agency heads are always promoting some super ambitious new roadmap while the actual party leaders in Beijing respond with ambivalence and limited funding. I think having a slow but successful program that doesn't fuck things up scores higher with the Confucian mindset than the anniversarial glory at all costs approach the Soviets favored. Also, their NASA and NRO equivalents have to share the same-line item in the budget so their only so much gas to go around no matter how hard someone tries to slam on the peddle.

Took at minimum two months before anything even remotely close happened with IFT-2 prep because of launch pad damage (btw an eternal fuck you to trenchcels).

That's an already understood and accounted for fact. My point is that once Starlink goes cash flow positive and begins to bring in serious capital on a monthly basis, SpaceX might very well start taking actual risks with their booster/ship launches by adding Gen2 satellites into their ships on the launch to orbit. As at that point, a loss of a vehicle and satellite would be offset by the profits. Gen1 Satellites at 50 per launch adds 1Tbps bandwidth into the network. Gen2 Minis bump that to 4Tbps. A full successful Gen2 deployment would add 2.1Tbps. Which is a little under half of the V2 minis, but that's mainly due to the fact that the V2 minis are smaller than the V2s by nearly 2x, so Starship can only do 21 per launch currently (planned). But at the cost of reduced overall bandwidth, they can handle vastly more incoming/outgoing connections all via laserlinks and would come with the satellite to phone integration with a much larger cone of influence. All of which would create an escalating positive feedback loop of cash.

I would not be surprised if by 2026-2027, SpaceX looks to open up a third launch site somewhere along the US south east coast. So that they can launch from Starbase, Site 2, and LC-40 (if NASA allows it).

His argument would be fine if he just stuck to saying, "Why aren't we just redoing Apollo?" but he didn't. He even pulled up the slide on iteration, learning, and progressive steps to build towards an end goal from the very document he talked about for almost half an hour but then goes on to say 'Stop focusing on tech demonstrations!' (repeatedly) as if those very things weren't tech demos.
>We'll need 15 launches!
To put 150 tonnes onto the moon, not 10.
>We'll need to do fuel transfer, something we haven't ever tried before!
And the entirety of the space race was basically just two countries rubbing their science and engineering dicks together to do things nobody has ever done before. And so on.

My take-away was that he's afraid China will get back to the moon before America, and he doesn't want that to happen. It's why he focuses on the timelines not shifting, even though by all reasonable assessments they should be moved two years at this point due to the various delays. I dunno. He just sounded like an old Boomer who was terrified of China (Russia) getting to being first (back) to the moon and wants another flags and footprints mission.

The goal of the "independent" Chinese space launch companies isn't to create successful launch companies, it's to grow more aerospace talent. The core of China's space industry is just as oldspace as anywhere in the west and requiring new hires spend twenty years working at Boeing before being assigned to anything interesting is a terrible way to get graduates interested in the industry. A non-CNSA/CASC company lets them work on projects at a much higher level right away, as well as partly off-loading some of the funding to cities and provinces that want to invest in having a prestigious space industry.

And China's not going to turn down more launch capacity. Even with the rate their launching their still starved compared to the number of payloads they have waiting for rides.
