Simplerockets: 2d intro to orbital mechanics and rocketry basics like staging. Like a (much) simpler KSP. This could be a good gateway drug for people who are too intimidated by KSP. I have ~20 hours on Steam.
Simpleplanes: Pretty easy to use but interesting aerodynamics simulator. I have ~2000 hours on Steam, and hundreds more on my phone.
Simplerockets 2 (renamed Juno): 3d rocket simulator, has some things better than KSP and some things worse. I have ~100 hours on Steam.
Factorio: factory simulator. Basically what we will need to do when we go to Mars/Moon/Alpha Centauri etc. I have ~7000 hours on Steam.

Its not just journalism doing it, its the regulators actively doing it. A while ago they released the number of autopilot crashes. Without any reference to any other crash. Or from any other company. The journos used it to claim autopilot was unsafe.
These aren't done accidentally or innocently. Its political.

To respond to this from Mike's blog, it doesn't work because the radius of the universe has changed with expansion. Both the radius and min acceleration would change in cosmic history, according to QI the min acceleration is 2c^2/Dh. So the acceleration should be different, the radius certainly isn't. You can't talk about expansion and then assume everything is constant.
This is fucking numerology level bullshit. It's nice he's returning to his crackpot roots.

If you are were following the same path I did for undergrad. Electricity and magnetism would be in you physics class 2nd semester freshman year, and you will continue with that in an analog circuit class 1st semester sophomore year. Fluids was 2nd semester sophomore year, alongside thermodynamics. Aerodynamic 1 in the first semester of junior year, with aero 2 and experimental aerodynamics (aero lab) the following semester.
Now if you are in a worse program, I have seen ones where you don't do Aerospace specific classes until second semester junior year, and it is like they waste you time in general education and then general engineering before letting you do your major specific stuff. If I had to guess this is done so undecided people can go in without a plan and they don't have to nail down what they want to do until junior year.

SPACE TOURISM HERE WE COME

> MAJOR MILESTONE ALERT Spaceship Neptune's capsule structure is now complete! This #capsule will be used in our next test #flight, which we are calling Flight 2. In 2021, we successfully flew a capsule simulator to #space with Flight 1. Since then, we’ve been designing and manufacturing the pressurized capsule, which will be used in our upcoming uncrewed flights to test corner cases. Data gathered will inform the build of a commercial-grade capsule and pave the wave for crewed test flights later next year. The completion of the capsule structure is the result of highly #complex and integrated work that our Founder, Co-CEO and CTO, Taber MacCallum, calls “one of the greatest iterative collaborations I have ever seen,” and marks a pivotal step toward offering the world an extraordinary, completely reimagined #spaceflight #experience.

Fluid mechbics is required at 2nd semester junior but I could probably take a concentration class in that 1st semester right.

PS. it's also kind of irrelevant even if it is true, properly terraforming mars is going to take monumental time, money and effort anyway, considering everything else you'd need to have in place to actually terraform it, you would have to bring large amounts of mass from off-world anyway, so it's a moot point to begin with.

Those are orbital nuclear bombers, right? Designed to spend years in orbit with their bellies full of bombs, ready to launch a sneaky attack. And at the end of their lifespan they can just land in a military base, their unused bombs recovered. So they don't waste good bombs and don't release 235U and 239Pu in the atmosphere as it would happen it they were to burn at the reentry instead of landing.

ULA has no future. ULA will only do 3 launches in 2023. SpaceX will do around 100. I used MS Paint to put both companies launch histories in the same scale. As SpaceX's launches grew, ULA's shrank. Now with Atlas and Delta retired, they're left beholden to BO for engines, and BO has shown no capacity to deliver anything on time. Because ULA has tiny & unreliable current and future cash flows, if it does sell it will be for a pittance. Everyone who is paying attention can see the writing on the wall. Their reliance on BO and the success of SpaceX has killed them.

No, and it would be highly impractical to try. Not many materials exist that are significantly harder than stainless steel, and the mixing technique of friction stir welding might not play well with the bulk composition of the alloy. FSW is best used in highly soft and ductile materials, of which stainless is neither.

I think it's more likely than not that New Glenn will at least make a launch attempt next year. Starship will also reach initial operational status next year, but it's going to be putting in work practicing fuel transfers for Artemis and launching Starlinks for a while before it gets listed for commercial customers. SpaceX wouldn't be planning on trying for 150 launch years in 2024 and 2025 for the Falcon 9 if Starship was almost ready for prime time.
On the other hand, Blue's said in the past that they were planning for a monthly launch cadence for New Glenn at its peak, which seems to be a significant lack of ambition considering the competition it's up against.

Blue of the past was when Jef was in his yacht phase and they were just grifting for his money to share with oldspace. I think now that Jef is switched on there is urgency in the company. He has a lot of work to change the company culture, but it was his idea to get that NASA contract where they have to hit a 2024 launch window. If he really is invested now then at very worst case they miss the launch window and he goes ballistic and fires most grifters

what Jef said about one way door decisions is true, an example being the diameter of starship.
They downsized the ship significantly from the 2016 variant primarily because they had so much trouble making large carbon fiber tanks, but when they made the switch to steel they didnt increase the diameter again, and over the course of the steel era we have seen them increase the length of the ship and booster edging back toward 2016 performance. Ultimately they will be stuck with another pencil shape rocket which is worse than taking the time to realize they should have upped the diameter. Ship landing tolerances will be worse on other worlds, and the booster will need to use more prop to land amongst many disadvantages

"We're going to become the world's most decisive company across any industry."
---
https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/
> During the interview, Bezos candidly acknowledged this. "Blue Origin needs to be much faster, and it's one of the reasons that I left my role as the CEO of Amazon a couple of years ago," he said. "I wanted to come in, and Blue Origin needs me right now. Adding some energy, some sense of urgency. We need to move much faster. And we're going to."

I'm a 1 but I like Bezos. The hate here was justified when it was about the contract BS he tried to pull for HLS but now it's transformed into a much more retarded form of hatred where BO is some irrelevant company.
BE-4 is done, that's the hardest part. Their factory is mostly done, the first NG is almost ready and it's an ambitious design. They're not going to beat SpaceX obviously but they're a clear second and the market has more than enough space for them

There are companies spun from spacex doing the third party last mile to any-orbit. People have confidence in SpaceX, they have confidence in people who worked at SpaceX, they have confidence in those that work with SpaceX to deliver the last mile service products.
So RocketLabs's niche will shrink considerably. Their neutron wont help them as thats just competes directly with Starship at an unaffordable price/capacity

ULA is (hopefully) going to get Vulcan off the ground with BO's BE-4 engine, so that's cash for BO. Plus we all know that Jeff Who is going to buy ULA, so it really doesn't matter to be honest.
They also initially didn't go with SpaceX, because Elon bad. But Amazon board members are suing the company because of it. Amazon did purchase 3 F9 flights in 2025, but that was after the lawsuit came to be.

People said SpaceX would fail because they are launching sats so far that there wouldn't be anything left to launch.
I guess once they hit 100 launches this year, its over? Nothing else to launch?

The day we saw the big scrapped mandril was a hoot. Then boca chica came online. For a short while the idea at spacex was to have boca 'compete' with the Florida startship production site, that was dropped tho

they havent even built landing legs or a thermal management system to make sure all the fuel doesnt boil off by the time they get to the moon. Everything which has ever landed or flown around the moon used storable propellants for that very reason. SpaceX needs a miraculous thermal management tech to prevent all their fuel vanishing.

They're still building the factory, the second mega bay, Massey's test site and second tower. They probably already have some HLS hardware, but I don't expect a full HLS prototype and V2s until at least the middle of next year, when they will have the factory somewhat completed.

i'm in new zealand and i haven't seen people wear masks in public in a long time. you can't even make people wear them anymore and there are no restrictions on doing shit either, so i don't understand what i am looking at here.

In which timeline is KSP2 a full game? It is a half assed demo. KSP1 with mods mogs it.

At least look at the features and performance improvements for the next update before making dumb claims, they're not just adding science parts.
