I like chinaspace more than the average /sfg/ fagā€”but even I am unimpressed. Even if china got multiple ā€œprivateā€ rockets flying, each with capabilities similar to F9 and EVEN if some had reusability, itā€™s not really that interesting other than it makes USA oldspace look lazy and inefficient for not being able to do the same thing.
But anyways china doesnā€™t really have impressive capability and they arenā€™t doing anything that the west can already do better

Yeah no shit they didn't have a choice, they had to get shit done instead of jerking off to inefficient scifi mission plans.

Now, Artemis on the other hand had a choice and they chose a stupid mission architecture. That said I hope it works out in the end. Even if it utterly retarded with current technology, someone has to keep pushing progress and chinks certainly can't do anything more than copy Apollo-era burgertech.

China's going to let them all tear each other to pieces and lets whoever lives live. The personnel experience generated by the failed attempts can be absorbed by one of the survivors or folded into CASC for building reusability to the LM-9 and 10.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with any of the proposals. They're all possible evolutions from conservative ELVs to simple RLVs following the Falcon 9's basic pattern. They won't all work out but the odds are pretty damn high that at least once of them will.

Next level cope, or are you a newfag?
Falcon heavy was meant to be ready in 2013 and it was meant to be flying to Mars every launch window, the only reason it came so late and launches so seldomly is because it was in development hell and ended up being way more expensive and complex than planned. It was supposed to be easy, just three unmodified falcon boosters, it ended up being a completely different rocket. Elon tried to cancel it several times

It seems like a hardware revision is going to be needed also. Optimus, along with basically every other humanoid robot, has that weird partial crouch even when the legs are at full extension.

>Two Blue Origin officials told Ars that the company is not currently planning to perform a full-scale test-firing of an entire New Glenn booster, with all seven of its BE-4 engines, before the inaugural launch. If this holds, it would be unusual. These hotfire tests are a standard part of preparing of the first flight of a new rocket. Just this year, we've seen ULA test-fire its Vulcan booster, Europe's Ariane 6 rocket go through multiple hotfire tests, and SpaceX's enormous Super Heavy booster fire up its engines on the launch pad.

To do stuff humans currently do where value is to be gained.

1) In a factory, there's division of labor. Simple stuff by humans where you take part from one desk and move to another and place the parts in right arrangement. All factories are designed with humans in mind right now. So they have a role there for the next 40-50 years.

This is a chart I made to show subscribers and revenue from data on wikipedia back in September. They had 2m subscribers at that time, and I used the simplifying assumption that all of them are on the same plan of $110 a month (in reality, the commercial/DOD users are more expensive, and I'm not sure if third worlders get some kind of localized pricing/discount). The trend fits a 2nd order polynomial with an r^2 of .9982.

imo it's not the technical aspects of this generation of rockets that matter the most for China. What matters is the restructuring of the launch industry from just one big SOE (CASC), to one having many companies of various ownership structures. It is bad in the near term because it causes a temporary slowdown in the industry as CASC bleeds skilled labor and there's a lot of chaos and reinventing the wheel going on, however more competition and diversity of ownership structures is good for the industry in the long run.

Apart from the usual benefits of competition, it also means Chinese payload providers and operators don't need to fear an upstream quasi-monopoly creating a competing product, like western satellite companies need to fear SpaceX doing another Starlink. So it allows for a vertically dis-aggregated industry, which increases competition and reduces barriers to entry for innovative startups. There's also been a vertical dis-integration within launch itself, with AALPT and AASPT selling engines outside of CASC and JZYJ appearing as a pure engine provider.

I don't think there will be as much consolidation of the sector as some other people seem to think, at least not in the near-mid term. While there's no way for all the current 12+ Chinese launch companies to persist, I think China's launch industry easily has room for CASC + CASIC + 5 or more other companies.

China will probably want to expand Guowang from the current 13k plan to match Starlink's 40k+ because China wants the ability to offer any country the same level of service as America. There's the G60 alternate constellation. China has a clear interest in power satellites. The PLA likely has virtually infinite demand for reconnaissance satellites and prepositioned on-orbit space weapons, as long as they can be built and launched at reasonable cost. And space stunts will probably be funded lavishly from the 2030s onwards for prestige reasons, like in the 1960s.

Whether an industry benefits from a high concentration or not, depends on how great the returns to scale are. If the whole is clearly far greater than the sum of the parts, then you want a consolidation.

Otherwise, absolutely not. Economic theory is clear, that the more competition, the better. The basic economic theory of perfect competition says that the lowest theoretically possible price charged to customers can only be realized when there are so many vendors that none have, as an economist would say, significant market power, and collusion becomes practically impossible.

So it's a balancing act, and it's hard to tell what the optimal level of market concentration is without having detailed technical knowledge.

China's population crisis is a myth, mainly perpetuated and accepted by people who have never touched an economics textbook in their life. While it is true that China's population pyramid looks bad on surface inspection, it is not when you look deeper.

China does not need more people, because isn't using the ones it has well. China's agricultural workforce is still around 25%. It should be less than 5% for an advanced country. China's urbanization level is 60%. It should be over 80% for an advanced country. So there's lots of room to better use the people it already has.

China also doesn't need people in the sense of raw biomass. It needs natural scientists, engineers and relevantly skilled labor. Low skill labor is just going to become less and less useful in comparison, and more and more of a political liability and source of instability when they can't find good-paying jobs. And when you look at the trends adjusted for education and skill level, China's demographics are excellent. Even if universities froze student throughput rates tomorrow, China's human capital would still increase for the next 40 years as the current examination rates perpetuate through the labor force and as the current large crop of novices accumulate experience.

Also, China is still accumulating physical capital, which is a factor of production as important as labor and human capital is. Even if China's human capital stagnated tomorrow, China would still have economic growth from

Companies relocating from China is just because Chinese wages are rising, which is because Chinese labor is in such high demand. There is a temporary dip in exports and an outflow of capital, however this says less about China than it says about the rest of the world. Lower exports are natural because of high interest rates in the US and EU. Capital outflow is perfectly expected for the same reason

People sometimes point to China's slowing growth as evidence, however there are many other reasons contributing to that. For example, popping the real estate bubble, using the Three Red Lines policy, is a temporary reason. There are also unavoidable fundamental structural reasons that will permanently slow down China's growth. For example:

China has already seized most of the low hanging fruits in terms of infrastructure investments and other capital investments

There are benefits to urbanization and agglomeration, however there's a limit how big you can build a city or a metro before it becomes impractical and the agglomeration effects in fact become negative due to congestion. Several of China's major cities like Beijing have hit that limit, hence the plans for urban clusters like Jingjinji/Yangtze River Delta/Pearl River Delta, including building a new auxiliary capital Xiong'an in Hebei almost from scratch to relieve congestion in Beijing.

China is getting closer the technological frontier. They are also facing export controls on what existing technology they are allowed to use.

China has decided to make supply chains more resilient to sanctions. Such duplication and reduced economies of scale increases the resilience of the economy however it obviously slows growth compared to just importing it. They have decided to develop most technology at home, even that which they are not banned from importing. Focusing resources on reinventing the wheel obviously decreases growth compared to just importing existing wheels or wheel technology

etc

China's one child policy will be looked back on as an even bigger blunder than Mao's Great Leap Forward. Although the One Child Policy ran from 1979 to 2016, fertility hasn't recovered. The median age is 39 years, with 1.2 live births per woman with a GDP per capita at PPP of $21k . Each of these metrics is worse than the US which has a median age of 38 and 1.8 live births per woman and a GDP per capita at PPP of $76k. Each person born during the decades of the One Child Policy will need to take care of their parents and grandparents-- so that's one worker with potentially 3 elderly dependents. And doing that with far fewer resources than Americans have.

Why does this matter for rockets? Well, because an increasingly large share of the resources of China will be devoted to care of the elderly, the resources that China can devote to other pursuits like rockets, the military, etc will necessarily decrease. A lot of rocketry relies on having high quality inputs, so it's not like China can just prop up the rocketry sector -- rockets rely on many other industries like having a pipeline of enough good engineers, high quality metallurgy, machine shops, chip fabs, etc.

one thing that >>15921174 also fails to mention is that while yes, china is trying to increase it's human capital and build a strong middle class of educated workers who will be useful in more advanced fields, it's not happening anywhere near fast enough to replace the economic powerhouse that is their quickly aging and leaving industrial sector.
all those industries that still form a major part of china's economy and job provision will either leave the country or possibly not even find enough people to replace the old workers.
there's a problem in that newer chinese generations now enjoy a certain level of luxury and are genuinely too spoiled to work in the horrible conditions their parents did, their population may be aging but that's not an explanation for the massive level of unemployment especially in the younger part of the populus.

The one child policy made sense during the period it was in effect, to avoid a deluge of biomass that the country and economy had no ability to meaningfully and effectively absorb. It also freed up resources for investments into infrastructure, that otherwise would have gone to raising children that the country had no use for. China still has more people than they know what to do with even to this day

South Korea and Japan didn't have such a one child policy yet they have low fertility ratio anyway. It's not just a matter of the OCP.

More elderly causing the dependency ratio to decrease will indeed be a drag on the economy compared to if it didn't exist, however it will be more than compensated by things like picrel. The people who would perform the menial labor of caring for the old and infirm will not be skilled aerospace workers. China, like much of the world, has and will have an excess of low skill labor anyway, and the problem will only get worse due to technological trends with AI and automation.

What matters isn't worker-to-dependent ratio, what matters is economic-output-to-dependent ratio. Talking about raw labor force headcount is meaningless. A skilled person with proper tools and infrastructure can be 100 times more productive than an unskilled person. If raw labor force headcount was what mattered, then both China and India would already have been the world's leading economies since long ago

Assuming China can recover the fertility rate to ~2 in the not too distant future, they will have followed the optimal path. The CCP seems to be slowly laying the groundwork for it. They abolished OCP. They're trying to alleviate the worst issues with getting children: cost. They are trying to deflate the real estate bubble so that higher living area won't be ruinously expense, and banned for-profit tutoring to avoid the tutoring arms race causing costs to spiral.

New Glenn more advanced than Falcon? I'm not sure. I think once New Glenn can get the first stage reliably landing and reused in a reasonable turnaround time, then it will be at parity with the Falcon family, (which has been doing that since 2016). Until then it's inferior. And it remains to be seen whether New Glenn will actually get to a reusable 2nd stage with high operational cadence before Starship. Personally I think Starship could reuse a 2nd stage in 2025, NG could do it no earlier than 2026. Pic related.

It makes sense if you assume that NASA values urgency for the Mars mission. If the test fails then they'll miss their launch window and the payloads would have to wait 26 months anyway. Such a delay might cost a comparable amount to just building a replacement payload, so the expected value of cost might be lowest if they just wing it.

That was actually intended to rapidly deploy satellites into orbit faster than the Soviets could nail down the orbital parameters.

Logically, it wouldn't work for snatching satellites. The self-destruct mechanisms could be triggered to blow if the satellite experienced any unplanned accelerations, without any input from the ground. It would be insane to bet a whole shuttle+crew that you have an hour to get the satellite to the ground before it gets sent a kill signal.

Disarming bombs is hard enough on the ground when you already know the device's design. The amount of fail-deadly mechanisms the soviets, or anybody else, could cram into their satellites makes disarming them in orbit completely impractical.

>>15921872
They did things the thought could work, not things they knew would almost certainly not work. A lot of that confidence was collective delusion, but there can be no delusion about the threat of booby traps in Soviet satellites.

Here's just one possibility; a booby trap bomb is entirely contained inside of a pressurized compartment. If pressure in the compartment drops, it blows up. This rules out drilling into the compartment, or breaching it in an way. Now you can put components for even more booby traps inside that compartment, assured that American astronauts can't tamper with them.

The more corruption is exposed the more people will see the extent of corruption.

It will all go on official records, which is the most important part

So apparently the reason nobody's building new concentrated solar in the US is that ONE site at Ivanpah, NV was killing 6000 birds a year - they were attracted to the shiny collector and flew across the beams. Would a microwave rectenna for beamed space solar have the same problem of popping birds that flew across the beam?

for what? what they did might not be technically illegal even if it was clearly politically motivated and ad hoc, the rules might give the FCC enough latitude to make retarded choices like this with the implicit assumption that if they do too much retarded shit, congress etc will step in
just like the lawsuit against SpaceX due to the refugees or any number of these retarded things
