If successful, the commercial mission scheduled to launch Monday — dubbed Peregrine Mission One — will be the first time an American-made spacecraft has landed on the lunar surface since the end of the Apollo program in 1972. But Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren said that allowing the remains to touch down there would be an affront to many indigenous cultures, which revere the moon.
“The moon holds a sacred place in Navajo cosmology,” Nygren said in a Thursday statement. “The suggestion of transforming it into a resting place for human remains is deeply disturbing and unacceptable to our people and many other tribal nations.”

Clarke, as well as the trace cremated ashes of the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, and several members of the cast, including Nichelle Nichols, best known for her role as Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. The mission will also endearingly include longtime Star Trek fan Gloria Knowlan, a mother of eight from Vancouver who died 12 years ago, and whose family wanted pay tribute by including her remains on the flight. Hair containing DNA samples that are believed to be from George Washington, Dwight Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy will also be on the flight.
The Moon burial starts at $12,500 for Celestis, while Elysium Space’s lunar memorial service costs $11,950.

> (2/4)The disturbance of the MLI is the first visual clue that aligns with our telemetry data pointing to a propulsion system anomaly.
> (3/4) Nonetheless, the spacecraft’s battery is now fully charged, and we are using Peregrine’s existing power to perform as many payload and spacecraft operations as possible.

The Anon originally quoted asked if it should look like that. It should not. Your assertions that it is mylar imply you intended to tell the Anon that mylar folds and should look like that, implying they were somehow lacking in observation or knowledge.
We both know that's about how things went.
The implications we both left out are that photo shows physical damage of the lander -- with the 2nd stage still in view. This means the damage happened either before separation, or somehow during separation.
BO engines beat the payload to death, your only correct observation.

I'm not mylar-anon (he is a retard) but no part of the image they showed has Centaur or any part of the 2nd stage in it.
Peregrine wasn't even powered on until after separation, so it wouldn't have been able to take a picture.

I'm still skeptical of the announced 25 Vulcan launches a year goal, I know they say that it'll be faster with one production line but the sum of peak AV and DIV launches in a year is 13 rockets - or 15 cores. They may eventually break in the 20s of launches a year sometime down the line, but biweekly Vulcan launches?
(Note that I also share this skepticism with Ariane 6's announced 10-12 launch rate; I only believe in H3's 6 launches per year goal because it's frankly modest and already achieved by HIIA)

Michoud was originally planned to crank out thirty Delta IV cores per year. None of the EELVs came close to their original estimated flight rates because of the late 90s constellation failures. Kuiper doesn't seem ready to die yet so Vulcan might have enough payloads for that many launches. The real limiting factor is going to be how quickly Blue can produce BE-4s.
Ariane 6's rate is a lot more reasonable. 11/year is the peak cadence of the Ariane 5 (7) plus the peak cadence of the Soyuz-ST (4). Normally I'd say they don't have a chance of reaching that with Falcon 9 dominating the market, but they've built up a pretty impressive backlog of payloads.
H3 is the easiest success out of all of the new vehicles since it's only real goals are "be domestic so the JSDF can launch its own payloads," and "cost half what the H-2A did."

You realize that the engineers who work for these companies aren't the ones who decide what direction the entire company goes? And that decisions on something like a rocket's basic architecture are made so many levels above my hand that there's nothing I can do about it?
Vulcan is a fine rocket with a targeted mission set that SX has to expend a FH to accomplish. That positions ULA well in the market for at least the next decade. It's a poor vehicle for Kuiper launches, but "not being SpaceX" seems to have a value all its own. You should ask SX why that is (hint: hyperaggressive capitalism).
I work on the Reuse - I like the program and see it making bigger strides faster than anything else ULA is doing because we're allowed more off the leash than anyone else has before. But even with that - making the rocket even semi reusable has huge compromises to mission performance (mostly inclination & trajectory - you're limited on how fast the reuse part can re-enter the atmosphere). I think F9's architecture has advantages, but I'm also not a faggot who pretends that F9 and SS are the best do-all rockets ever made. They aren't. They're good at putting things in LEO - SS especially will dunk on any other constellation provider. But they're both trash at the sorts of orbits that Vulcan was meant to dominate in. Explaining away SS's inability to do anything outside LEO without refueling is just cope for a rocket that was designed to do one thing well - put 100 tons in LEO.

No - if it stays in LEO, it doesn't get refuelled.
If it has to go anywhere but LEO, it has to be refuelled.
"Cost" is always the quoted factor, but considering that again and again Elon's promises about $/kg don't materialize, I'd prefer to use actual facts. And actual facts are that SX quoted almost the same price as ULA for the NSSL phase 2 missions.
And that's still entirely ignoring performance or operations problems like launch slots - if SX is spending all their time launching Starlinks they don't want to give you a slot.

The Terrain Relative Navigation payload on the perigrine was designed to test out autonomous landing capability for future missions.
There are also a lot of other scientific payloads that were designed to operate during landing rather than on the surface of the moon, so potentially you get a lot of good data on the ride down.
Hilariously, the lander actually included WiFi capability for the cuberover payload, so you are correct that you can use it as a WiFi router, but that probably wouldn’t be very useful in a translunar orbit

The bisector (two-piece shell) PLF encapsulates the spacecraft. The payload attach fitting (PAF) is a similar sandwich composite structure creating the mating interface from spacecraft to second stage and payload fairing. The PLF separates using a debris-free horizontal and vertical separation system with spring packs and frangible joint assembly and immediately destroys your payload.

of course it matters, they get more profit due to having lower costs
and in general they can start bringing prices down when it is more clear that launching payload has price elasticity
it doesn't right now because it takes time for new space industry to spool up, but I'm pretty sure Starship would start lowering prices even if there was no competitors
and this can be modeled by purely profit motivated reasons again, total profit and revenues going up with high price elasticity

SLC-6 basically became free after DIVH was retired and seemingly ULA didn't want to launch Vulcan from there. It looks more like SpaceX initiative since it allows not just for vertical integration but once operational, it would increase rate of F9.

if there's anything i know from my experience with furries on other forums it's that they are highly obsessed and highly spiteful. i've had multiple instances in years past where a furfag got ousted from a community and then tried his very best for the next few years to destroy said community through all manner of means.
you can call me obsessed in turn but i believe that the krystalfag guy was one of those.
whoever's pulling all this bullshit also keeps falseflagging unhinged nonsensical responses every time the furfag is mentioned btw, which further leads me to suspect it's him.

On Reddit, someone who said they were one of the people affected reported getting an email at the end of the day Jan. 4 informing them they had been laid off effectively immediately, and lost computer and building access within an hour. “It was shocking and lightning fast,” that person said.
https://www.reddit.com/r/JPL/commen
> 80 (and counting) contractors were laid off last night, myself included. Basically an email was sent at 5:30PM saying you're fired effective immediately and not to show up the next day. I didn't see the email until 6PM, then I lost all logical access at 6:30PM, so I couldn't even send out files and messages to my team! Then, I couldn't badge back into my building. It was shocking and lightning fast. Based on what I gathered from conversations, JPL employees will more than likely experience layoffs as well (although I would think they'll have a significant heads up, unlike contractors). Layoff city indeed.

They also play the FCC/ITU "protest everyone's frequency proposals" game to an extent but their seething competitors are far worse with that do it hardly counts.
Those are the public ones, who knows what goes on behind the scenes but Musk didn't get to where he is by turning the other cheek no matter how magnanimous he used to act (lmao Tesla (((open patent))) poison pill). ULA Anon is a bit high on the seethe but he isn't wrong. Musk makes it a game of pushing the limits and rules as far as he can and then one step further everywhere, it wouldn't surprise me to see it in contract negotiations as well. The actual truth is that SpaceX is far enough ahead that they don't need to be purposefully anticompetitive to undercut everyone else.

But you tell me why SpaceX changed their stance from "rideshares are too much effort for the little extra money we could make from them" to "we're gonna enact TSD with no regards to profit margin". It's not for cadence since they launch like three these per year.

Stuff is being launched on these that would never launch on microsat launchers
And where are you getting that they arent making any money? They even added a second kind of rideshare now for other orbits

What you are vasically saying, they should not serve some markets (and leave money on the table + remove opportunities for launch for some customers alltogether) just so that some dmallsat launchers would have a chance get some business? That is retarded

>And where are you getting that they arent making any money?
They're not making no profit, but simple mathematics says it's far less than a normal mission. They have maybe 100 customers per Transporter mission, most of those will be at or below the 50 kg minimum buy-in, which at $275k gets them to ~$30 million per launch, which is about half normal rate and a few years ago was barely above cost. T'ain't much, especially once you consider the extra effort of dealing with dozens of customers and payloads which is the entire reason they didn't do it before. Even if the various tugs and larger sats get them to normal mission revenue they're still making less margin than on a single-payload flight.
>>15965586
>What you are vasically saying, they should not serve some markets
Nah this is obviously a good thing for payloads and market share and all in good competition, but it clearly constricts the already small addressable market for smallsat launchers even more. Sure most of those weren't gonna make it anyways but this way it's even harder, meaning from the possible SpaceX point of view there's less investor money being siphoned away to others and fewer chances one of them could actually get big enough to compete. People here like to complain why nobody's building a Starship competitor, it's because that shit costs billions and without being able to get a foot in the door you're not gonna get that money.

Each middleman passes some of the cost on to their customers. They pay it because small launch is stupidly expensive $/kg (if you have a 50kg payload you can buy an entire $6M Electron flight or go rideshare/tug).

Very long but insightful read: Artemis is the sudden revival of Constellation because China landed Chang'e 4, which admitted was impressive but not really novel. But that didn't stop Washington from hurriedly piecing together Artemis.
Apollo was similarly rushed but had the funding and national will to do it.
