Hypothetically speaking, would a reusable rocket with high test hydrogen peroxide and kerosene or methanol be viable? Sure, the ISP wouldn't be nearly as high, but a closed cycle design using catalyzed HTP to run the turbopumps should allow for a longer service life and be easier to control/throttle.
You also don't have to worry about any cryogenic containment for the fuel or oxidizer, making logistics easier for the ground staging.

The steam from catalyzed HTP would put a lot less wear and tear on the turbopump than the much hotter combustion gasses that are usually used to drive them.

considering that falcon water landed softly several times before attempting droneship landing, yet crashed into the droneship 5 times, I think it's guaranteed they will destroy the launch tower with Starship a few times

they are going to perfect it much more due to that
and aren't they building another launch tower? the extra launch tower could be used purely for landing attempts to not damage other equipment
if there is not water deluge, not tank farm and other infrastructure, then its going to take much less time to repair it after a failed catch attempt

just catch it and if works, drive a moving mount underneath

Martin Marietta selected JP5-H2O2 as the cycle for their Black Horse spaceplane because the prop mixture is literally 85% oxidizer so it makes aerial refilling with one tanker easier. The downside is that H2O2 decomposes energetically when struck by cosmic rays so good luck shielding a depot of that on orbit.

Assuming I don't care about credits, what's a good way to go about self studying math to a college level?
Would just cracking a college textbook and doing all of the problems be enough rigor?
Should I watch online moocs as well?

It looks like it was always $50 but they did a $10 off sale during the summer. If the game ever makes it to version 1.0 they will probably increase it to a full AAA retail price but anyone following its progress will likely know well in advance of that and already decided if they want to buy it or not.

Okay, I finally started watching this and I get a weird clame at the very beginning. He said that many people use money as an excuse for poor results. Moreover, he said that over various 15-year periods NASA got the same amount of money, even when adjusted for inflation. I got numbers from wikipedia, put them into excel and got different results. The obviously got the most money during Apollo era, second one was 1988-2002, when they were building ISS.

If you actually use that board, go outside and discover something you want to dedicate your life to, or just go to college and have something to do. If youre using /pol/ and arent dedicating your college education/career to spaceflight then you probably arent serious about it, or anything else for that matter.

STEM types naturally leave their political phase very quickly. And it's not because of not taking enough tranny ethics or because of money or because they become kiked. It's because when you're in these fields, you realize very quickly that you're indispensable to society. Even if your field isn't being heavily funded right now, a regime change won't really affect your quality of life.
Politics become just meaningless in respect to this. You realize those that cling to politics or regimes or anything are actually those lacking skills. Sure I don't want the society I live in to be garbage, but at the end of the day every single society on earth right now would provide a comfy life for me due to my autistic interests and skillsets.

Maos China largely didn't and your life as a physicist in the Soviet Union was fine. Maos China destroyed academics who ARE chained to society, but that is a separate class from STEM. China literally wouldn't be where it is right now if they had actually purged their engineering class. Instead, what everyone complains about, is the purging of academics which clearly doesn't have long term impacts on societies.
Similarly, the Soviet Union would not have been able to keep up with the West technologically if it was horrible for the upper levels of the STEM class. It was too easy for that group to escape and in fact many of them became or fed the oligarchs that ended up taking over indicating again that they were in positions to make those moves.

The engineers and scientists from the era of collapse also did just fine for themselves. Again because they are highly valued by every single society. It's not just because their labor is valuable, but because their labor is RARE.

SpaceX should definitely take a Cybertruck to the moon on the demo missions as a meme payload. I would be very surprised if Musk misses that opportunity, hes very good at spectacle.
Getting it to the lunar surface would be hard, but getting a car to the surface is essential anyway if hls starship will serve NASA for everything it needs.
Cybertruck on the luanr surface would be a boost to Tesla publciity, and with a rover on the surface we could get external images of the Starship which would be absolute historic kino.

Elon's lost the plot over at X. SpaceX and Tesla's future is probably fine, but could be put at risk if that starts to bleed over. It's amazing how quickly he's gone from "Community Notes is the greatest thing ever, which keeps everyone honest" to him trashing Community Notes because the collective consciousness tried to keep his bullshit in check and now its apparently been taken over by state actors. Talk about cratering the confidence in your own platform in one easy stroke after spending weeks and months talking about how its a robust system that requires an overwhelming amount of users to come together to create a note with verified users and requiring a lot of votes to bubble up to the top.
Jokes on me I guess, for believing that the platform would one day go on to be something important for the Moon or Mars; and jokes on me for thinking that he'd somehow dodge the Howard Hughes phase in full.

The "gotcha" part, as you didnt watch the thing, is NASA isn't a civilian program even, its part of national security tech program just like airforce/navy/darpa/spaceforce/etc.
What he wants is NASA(not congress/president) to get back the game of designing/building rockets and procuring services from companies that will build the hardware to NASA's spec. He says its not about increasing money as Apollo era did it with less money than current era, adjusting for inflation and 10/15 year chunks of programs. He doesn't buy into series/parallel funding. What he thinks is that American as a society lacks purpose and thus all the money is going to waste.
The big problem here is that this is a vague wishful thinking. His concerns about privatizing rocket industry is somewhat valid, but still its a matter of contracting. Just create a separate contract and buy the ship outright from SpaceX. I'm sure SpaceX can sell ships/designs/maintenance to US Gov directly, at a right price ofcourse. Its just currently its more cost effective to just buy a ride ticket instead of buying the whole rocket.

That's certainly the big thing I see. Starting with a comically overpowered vehicle so you can massively derate it certainly helps, but conventional EVs are designed with the hot bits, including any "radiators" (i.e. fluid-to-air heat exchangers), on the inside, with airflow directed to them. For radiative cooling, you need the hot bits exposed -- either provide a direct thermal path to body panels and let the whole thing heat up to 75C (or whatever), or use a fluid cooling loop with radiators (real ones) mounted externally. Either way it's a big overhaul.
Otherwise:
Suspension will need an overhaul, with lighter springs for sure; not sure about shock tuning.
No GPS, so you'll probably want some sort of local navigation beacon system for best results, at least if you plan to have fully autonomous driving (vs executing pre-planned maneuvers ala mars rovers, or straight-up R/C from lunar orbit).

The original GPS came online in 1993 with only 24 satellites. You could definitely get a workable portion of Mars covered with a single Starship.

if X goes bankrupt then it will trigger a lack of confidence in Elons other businesses which will also be fatal or near to it. Thats exactly why in 2008 he went all in on BOTH SpaceX and Tesla, becuase if Tesla collapsed then he would have had way less in terms of assets sloshing around to loan against, and more importantly the air of Musk invincibility would vanish and people would stop investing in his infinite cash loss companies. The entire business model around Musk is that sure the company will keep losing money, but it will grow and never fail.

A userbase is not a revenue stream and it's not cheap to run. X does need to turn a profit eventually. It was on a pretty sad track prior to Elon's purchase, but advertisers and Elon are busy fighting over who holds the power in this particular relationship: the platform operator, or the advertisers and the groups who want to take advantage of advertisers to enforce their will on others? That's all this comes down to, in the end.

Revenue stream will come from users in the end. Current transition looks painful but thats to be expected as you need to wean off of the corruption. But the path forward is there, user subscription rate is going up, usage is going up, they get ~10M new users per month, etc. On top of that, their financial services should be getting ready soon. Various states are delaying the license to operate for political reasons, but they'll have to give in sooner or later.

Also don't forget, only the paranoid survive in the end. There are contingencies planned. Musk is worth $250B today. Losing $40B is nothing to him, if it means paying off the entire twitter debt himself. Even if that translates to him losing $100B networth due to stock fluctuations, it means he still has $150B + the complete ownership of X, which will generate billions per year due to financial services + subscriptions.
Plus not all advertisers are boycotting. Only the big establishment ones are that are strongly aligned with Biden admin are. There will still be ~50% still using the platform, even if you exclude all the communists.

>any way to get the rough estimate
list all the systems you need and put some bounds on their cost
At a minimum you need to maintain CO2, O2, humidity and temperature. Aside from temperature it seems like the rest will largely depend on how many crew you're designing for.

Helicity Space, a space fusion propulsion startup, nabbed a $5M seed round to develop its novel engine
How it works:
-- Plasma jets are shot along a track in its engine.
--The jets merge and compress, heating up to fusion condition of 100 million degrees Fahrenheit.
-- The fusion reaction fuses deuterium (hydrogen) atoms, resulting in energy for direct thrust
Lots of work ahead: Helicity is shooting for a protoflight in 2032 and self-sustaining engines in 2040. However, when operational, it could propel a spacecraft to Mars in two months, Jupiter in one year, and interstellar space in just ten years

Ackchually, "middle lower" implies a mid low tier dong, possibly one too small to perform the procreative act.

How it works:
-- A team of highly trained illustrators and graphic artists create some images on Fiverr for $50
-- A grasping social climber extrovert who spends all his time "building connections" and worrying about his appearance asks the smartest acquaintance he can talk into doing it for free to make a PowerPoint
-- 1% of the sociopath's friends of friends are stupid and rich enough to give him money, but this is enough

Don't they have a free-floating 6axis robot they can use to give Clear the run of the station? I remember they were doing some tests with it years ago. Maybe already returned on one of the cargo missions though.

Georgism is a great first take, but I suspect that modern economies derive too much of their output from resources that are unrelated to the use of land for it to be completely effective. You might have to tax other kinds of productive resources.
