The day the savior was born.
In November 2023, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope observed a massive cluster of galaxies named MACS J0138.0-2155. Through an effect called gravitational lensing, first predicted by Albert Einstein, a distant galaxy named MRG-M0138 appears warped by the powerful gravity of the intervening galaxy cluster. In addition to warping and magnifying the distant galaxy, the gravitational lensing effect caused by MACS J0138 produces five different images of MRG-M0138.
In 2019, astronomers announced the surprising find that a stellar explosion, or supernova, had occurred within MRG-M0138, as seen in images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope taken in 2016. When another group of astronomers examined the 2023 Webb images, they were astonished to find that seven years later, the same galaxy is home to a second supernova.
Two images of the supernova are seen in the Webb NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) image above (see the annotated image that highlights these features version here), but an additional supernova image is expected to become visible around 2035.
In this image blue represents light at 1.15 and 1.5 microns (F115W+F150), green is 2.0 and 2.77 microns (F200W+277W), and red is 3.56 and 4.44 microns (F356W + F444W).

After Challenger it was no longer acceptable to risk a crew of human delivery drivers on every national security space launch.

>Why use RS68?
Because the only engine in stock that used hydrogen and was in the right size class was the RS-25, and using those on an expendable commercial workhorse was clearly not a good idea.
>Why Hydrogen?
Back in the late 80s and 90s everyone was desperate to get a working SSTO to the pad, and they were all convinced that required a super-efficient engine, which meant it had to use hydrogen as a fuel. Low fuel density and high structural mass were overlooked for the sake of The Dream.
>Why gas-generator?
If you're going to be designing a cheaper, simpler RS-25, you need to lose complexity somewhere.
There's actually a few interesting papers on all this. I'll see if I can dig any of them up.

More engines means more points of failure, and almost all rockets are designed without much margin in that regard. If the mission is screwed because the first stage blows a single turbopump it makes sense to have as few turbos as possible. One of the big selling points of the Atlas V design vs the Atlas IIAS was that it cut down the number of engines systems from nine to three and the number of staging events from four to two, all of which was supposed to make it more reliable. To get an engine that's as dependable as the Merlin you need to fly it as much as the Falcon 9 does, and before SpaceX the only other rocket that aspired to that kind of flight history was the R7.

From SpaceX's VP of launch
>Super disappointing and sad to lose booster 1058.
>Tippy boosters occur when you get a certain set of landing conditions that lead to the legs having uneven loading. Heavy wind or sea state then cause the booster to teeter and slide which can lead to even worse leg loading. In this state, securing with the OG is super challenging and often only partial successful
>We came up with self leveling legs that immediately equalize leg loads on landing after experiencing a severe tippy booster two years ago on Christmas (first flight of 1069). The fleet is mostly outfitted, but 1058, given its age, was not. It met its fate when it hit intense wind and waves resulting in failure of a partially secured OG less than 100 miles from home.

NASA already knew exactly what happened (Feynman basically said that he realized people were spoonfeeding him the data needed). The Commission was a political exercise and so appointing people with the clout needed to strong-arm bureaucrats was more important than actually having experts look at it, since the people with the most technical knowledge on the issue were NASA engineers who had already identified the problem. But a random engineering phd working on the SRBs can be silenced far more easily than the likes of Ride or Armstrong.
Altogether it's an interesting demonstration of how to manage organizations, although the Reagan administration was working in an ideal environment since there were an abundance of highly qualified and highly prominent individuals to choose from. If you were to attempt the same maneuver against, for instance, the EPA then you'd be hard pressed to find people with both the technical qualifications and the public clout needed for the job.

Would BO buying ULA really just be about acquiring ULA's order book and staff? I think Vulcan would perfectly complement NG. Vulcan covers the payload range where using NG would be wasteful. NG is 45t to LEO. Vulcan is 11-27t to LEO depending on variant.

Vulcan will find work even after New Glenn starts flying because even if NG is cheaper per kg it's going to have a Falcon Heavy tier sticker price. A VC0 or VC2 will have an edge for any LEO work that's not a max-capacity constellation building flight.
The government is also going to want Blue to iron out any lingering issues with New Glenn before they put a pricey NRO payload on board.

I wouldn't get too cocky yet. It all depends on how well Starship works and how fast SX can get it working.
The Chinese line is likely going to climb a lot in the 2025-2030 span. There's a lot of Chinese F9 clones in the pipeline and several of the companies behind them have announced grand plans of producing 300-500 engines per year. The Chinese graph would probably be higher than it is today if not for the post-2014 restructuring of the space industry, from an industry that was essentially just one big SOE, to an industry that has many companies of mixed ownership, and all the temporary personnel shifting, organizational chaos and work disruption that it entailed
The Russian line will probably recover to prewar levels in a few years. Borisov said they needed to start building one satellite per day. The Ukraine war probably made Putin take space a lot more seriously than he previously did, as indicated by how he replaced Rogozin with Borisov

China's done an impressive job not falling too far behind SpaceX using just a fleet of expendables, and they're already setting up to mass produce constellation hardware. They're not going to lack for payloads once the Zhuque-3 or Nebula-1 are operational.
The war's made the Czar take a bit more interest in spaceflight, but I think it's the threat posed to the cosmonaut program by the ISS's looming retirement that's going to get the biggest response out of Russia. They've had a near continuous presence in orbit going all the way back to the beginning of the Salyut program. Having that fall into a gap era like the post-Skylab years in America would be too big a blow to national prestige to be allowed.

While SpaceX is certainly far ahead by any measure, I think energy imparted to payloads would be a fairer measure than upmass. Not all payloads are to the same orbits. Neither can you compare a theoretical LEO payload ability either, because different rockets are optimized for different orbits.

What's holding Russia back the most right now is the omnipresent corruption. A new Russian station won't produce that many launches on its own but having the program as a government priority will scrap off a bunch of the Rogozin lookalikes. After that things will take care of themselves.
>>15941969
China's biggest issue is that most of their rockets are in the same weight class as the Delta II. They're starved for lifting capacity which is one reason why their dozen independent spaceflight companies haven't started dying off yet, despite some of them having terrible records with their early solid fuel attempts.

Russian corruption is such a cliche explanation, especially when the people saying it usually are from the country of Future Combat Systems, Littoral Combat Ship, Zumwalt, Ford, SLS, Orion and guided artillery shells that cost $100k each.
I think that what is holding Russia back isn't exceptional corruption, rather it is an insistence on a high degree of autarky. It means they are resilient to sanctions, however it also means they lack the benefits of of economies of scale.
Russia's industry will never be world-class, because they refuse to specialize like for example Taiwan or South Korea do. Russia will never have a very high GDP per capita, even when adjusted for purchasing power, and they can never have a big economy. Yet the insist on trying to do superpower things without having a superpower economy or industry, which means every development and acquisition program is chronically underfunded and moves at a glacial pace and uses technology that is 10-20 years behind the state of the art.
There's not much point for a Falcon 9 in Russia because they haven't had that many payloads to launch to justify reusability. They might in the future, hence the Soyuz-7 project. However they need to increase payload production before there's any point in finishing Soyuz-7 development.

America's economy is very highly integrated in international supply chains though. America can afford to be, because the countries that America depends on aren't going to sanction America.
I'm not talking about just military stuff. I mean the economy as a whole. An illustrative example is Apple, America's most valuable company. They licence British ARM chip designs, their logic chips come from Taiwan, other stuff from Japan and South Korea, most their gadgets are made in China.
TSMC in Taiwan in turn gets their machinery from Japan, the US, and the Netherlands, which in turn depends on parts from Germany. And on it goes.
Russia's economy is and was not highly integrated in international supply chains. We can see that because their economy took just a -2.2% real GDP hit in 2022 despite being subjected to "nuclear" sanctions, becoming the most sanctioned country in the world. By now their real GDP has already recovered to past prewar levels, and they expect 3.5% real GDP growth in 2023
The US military is funded by taxes on the civilian economy and also benefits from economies of scale from the civilian economy. An illustrative example is Boeing, GE and P&W. They sell to the whole world. This helps fund R&D that the military benefits from. Russia didn't have that, their planes fell too far behind and they didn't have the money to fund R&D to catch up.

Also, America benefits from economies of scales in arms exports to a greater extent than Russia.

You can look at the Purchasing Managers' Index, which is made by S&P Global based on surveys to companies. Russia is in the top tier both in Manufacturing PMI and Services PMI. Above 50 indicates expansion, below 50 indicates contraction.

It is a bit funny to compare with many EU countries. Germany and France rank among the last.

You're only looking at small slices while neglecting to see the bigger picture.
Yes, America has integrated more with the rest of the world recently. However it has not always been so intertwined with others. Despite this, it has never has the problems that Russia has. Ironically enough, it has started having more "Russian" esque problems now as it has gotten more integrated with the rest of the world than it ever has before. Autarky is not an explanation for national economic failure, corruption, sluggishness, and general incompetence.
You're pulling the national equivalent of "muh socioeconomic factors" right now.
>>15942106
Your point?
No one says corruption doesn't exist in America. However it is demonstrably far less pervasive, harmful, and broad (both in reach and time) than anything seen in Russia.

To not fully fuel a stage would be quite suboptimal use of a rocket. If they want a different orbit then they would use a different rocket designed for it. For example, China's CZ-7 is optimized for LEO and CZ-7A for MEO/GTO

How do you know America has less corruption? How do you even measure corruption level in order to compare it?
We know that America has less petty corruption than Russia, i.e. bribes and embezzlement by low-level bureaucrats and policemen, the kind that regular people see and notice.
Grand corruption by politicians is much harder to see and measure, because it is usually legitimized by law and can involve very intricate schemes. However, we know it is systemic because America's entire political system depends on kickbacks aka political donations and favorable media coverage from private media companies. However, America has other advantages that compensate and lets it have a strong economy anyway, such as dollar hegemony, large economies of scale, and being integrated in global supply chains.

Musk not eager to take Starlink public
---
https://spacenews.com/musk-not-eage
> Musk, speaking in a Dec. 21 audio session on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter and also owned by Musk, argued that it did not make sense to take Starlink public and that he had no difficulties raising money for it privately.
> Musk has said for several years that he had no immediate plans for spinning off Starlink and conducting an initial public offering (IPO) of shares to raise money. That included a comment in a 2020 talk where he said he was “thinking about that zero” when asked about a Starlink IPO.
> However, he was more circumspect about a Starlink IPO in an online interview in June. “It would not be legal for me to speculate about a Starlink IPO,” said Musk, who has sparred with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the past in his role as chief executive of automaker Tesla. “I think it’s against regulations to talk with any kinds of specifics about a future public offering.”

Density of users is probably negatively correlated with population density (at least to some extent). People in large cities have little need for Starlink since there's so much existing infrastructure.
>doubt there's a lot of Starlink users in the middle of the Amazon
Amazonas has a population of ~4 million. If Starlink is the main internet provider then they'll naturally have more traffic than European countries with much larger populations were only a small portion of the population uses it.
