After listening to the latest biography written on Musk, it's such a shame that he purchased twitter. Apparently he has a habit of manufacturing a crisis in his head when things are too calm, that kind of contextualises that leaked email where he said SpaceX would go bankrupt in 2021 if it wasnt flying several starships to orbit a year by 2022. If he wasnt embroiled in twitter imagine how far he would have pushed SpaceX by now.

I don't believe that HLS Starship will ever fly because it just looks too goofy to have Orion use such a massive system as the lander.
It's a shame NASA had completed Orion but not their gay lunar lander by the time Constellation was cancelled. If they had the lander but no deep space command module then Starship could hop in and perform far better than it will with the task its actually been given.

The revolutions occurring in the industry are questionable at best. Synthesizing drugs in space still isn't the unicorn people hoped it was three or four decades ago. The economics for asteroid mining still fail to close compared to terrestrial production. Without a business case who's going to rent out space on those stations besides the government science programs?

The Accident Report is in on the Osiris Rex parachute failure:

> An investigation by engineers from NASA and Lockheed Martin, which built the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft and sample return vehicle, found that build plans for the mission weren't specific enough in instructing technicians who assembled the return capsule."In the design plans for the system, the word 'main' was used inconsistently between the device that sends the electric signals, and the device that receives the signals," NASA said in a written statement. "On the signal side, 'main' meant the main parachute. In contrast, on the receiver side 'main' was used as a reference to a pyrotechnic that fires to release the parachute canister cover and deploy the drogue. "Engineers connected the two mains, causing the parachute deployment actions to occur out of order," NASA said.

There's no easy short term answer. The real answer is long term vision Musk has. The internet has become a propaganda machine for the establishment. This is the complete opposite of what the creators of the internet wanted back some 50 years ago or so. There's no freedom anywhere on the internet for people to speak their mind, so Musk bought out twitter. At the time, everyone claimed all his Tesla holdings were overinflated. It was. It was inflated so much. He was worth close to $300B at the time. So he sold parts of it and now its stabalized. In short, he only spent money that was deemed worthless/fake to buy out the smallest social media for the cheapest.

The Apollo LEM would be totally incapable of completing a landing and return in the Artemis archietecture. Everything is built around the fact that Orion is a heavy shitcan with way too little delta v, so that lander has to be insanely high performance. Cryogen fuels are basically essential.

NTA, it wont take that many launches for a Mars transfer and landing. The whole thing is that Starship is designed for Mars not the moon, so it's actually harder to land on the Moon than to land on Mars. It takes similar delta-v to transfer to the Moon or Mars, but for the Moon you need to bring your own fuel to land and launch because there is no aero braking and the necessary resources dont exist to refuel on the ground.

If you consider Michael Griffin's extensive background with kinetic SDI and his association with Elon Musk immediately preceding the founding of SpaceX, and the fact that SpaceX has been developing precisely the high capacity launch capabilities needed for Brilliant Pebbles, I don't think it's silly to think that SpaceX has been angling for SDI contracts from the very start.

If you want to believe that Elon Musk really does want to get to Mars, then a good first step would be to 1) Prevent or win any major wars that would get in the way of space exploration. 2) Made obscene amounts of money by selling the solution to such major wars to the US government. Winning the contracts to develop/deploy Brilliant Pebbles should be insanely lucrative and could plausibly bankroll a serious Mars colony.

I believe they might get to a few a week, maybe even two or three on the same day, but multiple a day for several days in a row? They won't be ready for that kind of launch cadence in time for Artemis. Maybe in 10 years, but not in two or three years.

With Starship they could launch 50,000 easily.

The best case scenario for SpaceX here would be a near-one-time occurrence of Starlink scale launch contracts of up to 200 launches bidded at maybe $50 million a flight. $10 billion isn't chump change and is nothing to scoff at, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the telecommunications industry, and it's not improbable that Starlink could soon yield that kind of annual revenue without a one-time influx from defense buildouts.

SLS is an entirely different rocket tourist. The HLS is launched and refueled through Starship. And the difference is that it can bring along 150 tonnes of payload and 1000m3 of habitable volume. You can effectively make a moon base with just one of them.

And even than the 15 launches meme is not some set number. That's based on outdated performance numbers for a Starship is fully reusable mode. If they wanted they could just launch 4-5 expandable Starships instead.

I guess that make sense. But using up 4-5 starships per launch can't be anymore sustainable than using and reusing 15 per launch.

>>15909662
I don't think you can make a lander of any size or payload capacity that is fully reusable and goes from LEO to NRHO to Moon to NRHO without ballpark 5-10 refuelings in LEO.
The argument to be had is whether these refuelings cost you less than throwing away a stage of your lander. Medium to long term with fully reusable tanker flights it's obvious they will. Short term and especially with expendable tankers there's no way.
Also all cargo launches can bypass gateway going straight to the moon so you can save on that too.

the number is irrelevant, that is something people don't seem to get
what matters is cost, this system is designed to be reusable
doesn't matter if you needed 100 launches
as long as those 100 launches are cheaper than one launch by another rocket (lets say SLS) then it still makes sense

Anonymous No. 15909687

>>15909674
Well, obviously not. It's should purely be something done during time constraint. SpaceX will be able to produce a Starship once a month by next year or perhaps even more by the end of it. And even throwing out 5 expandable ones wouldn't even amount to half the cost of one SLS launch to put it into some perspective.

Seems to me the bigger the rocket, the riskier the launch. Why don't we send all the equipment and fuel up to orbit on big rockets, then send the astronauts on smaller safer rockets? It just seems like we are still doing things like the Apollo days: send the whole hog up all at once. Unnecessary risk to life.

Huh. It looks like the leak happened exactly halfway up the ship and not at the base where I expected it to. And we know the ship split in half thanks to those pics of it after it broke up. What went wrong I wonder? Is there something particularly difficult about how the starship rings in that area are joined together?
