>Angara-100 The Angara-100 was a 2005 proposal by Khrunichev to build a heavy-lift launch vehicle for NASA's Vision for Space Exploration. The rocket would consist of four RD-170-powered boosters, an RD-180-powered core stage, and a cryogenic upper stage using a modified Energia RD-0120 engine, the RD-0122. Its payload capacity to LEO would be in excess of 100 tons.
All the pieces are there.
Build it.

The RD-170 and 180 are available. It's debatable if the tooling for the RD-0120 is still around. If it is, it's been collecting dust since the 1990s and you'd need to spend as much restarting the production line as you would doing the same for the RS-25. Russian finances being what they are this would be a considerable problem.
There's also the problem that you can't still an RD-170/180 in a URM-1 module, so you couldn't use the established Angara pads or GSE. The A-100 would have to be a Zenit superheavy somewhere other than Vostochny. Funding that is going to be an even worse problem than revivifying the RD-0120. It's taken almost a decade to get Site 1A functional at Vostochny and you could write a Game of Thrones rippoff chronicling the findom and corruption that's plagued the project.
And then Russia would need a 100 ton payload that they're willing to pay for.

Why would the core stage be less powerful than the boosters? I thought the core stage was supposed to provide more of the thrust at liftoff since it is usually bigger, and the boosters would be added for marginal thrust upgrades.

I think 2026 for the first cargo or research/test flights to Mars is definitely feasible since Elon Musk claims that Starship is already orbit worthy, the biggest issue is getting Martian reentry correct since there's no way SpaceX can do their rapid development on Mars unless they send like 20 Starships there to collect a huge mass of data from various reentries. Instead they have to do it the oldspace way of models and simulations.

Musk said they hope to get propellant transfer working by the end of this year, but definitely end of next year
A mars starship would need to have pretty good boiloff mitigation as well and on top of this they would have to dedicate launches for first testing uncrewed landing on the moon and then be ready for Artemis 3 in September 2026
as the tweet says this would require a fast ramp, doing HLS stuff and Mars cargo simultaneously needs a lot of propellant launches

I would assume just making the booster diameter larger. Clustering boosters just adds a lot of additional problems you don't want. Musk said that FH was a much larger technical challenge than they were expecting, and even though they solved the problem with FH there's undoubtedly problems with a Starship Heavy as well.
Either way you would have to redesign the pad for a Starship Heavy and a larger diameter Starship. It makes more sense to create an entirely new class of booster compared to just sticking two more boosters on. I mean, that's exactly what they did with Falcon.
Also, can the core stage on FH even rtls? You would possible need to create an entire barge or repurpose an oil rig to land the center booster on a Starship Heavy. Sounds like even more of a headache.

I would think by the time they have a need to start strapping superheavies together, they will have achieved rapid reuse and have multiple launch towers at Kennedy built for high cadence SS/SH ops. Developing all new infrastructure to accommodate Thiccship seems like a lot of work if you've just finally build up everything for starship.
>>14974312
If there's a reason to launch something bigger than starship can handle and there hasn't yet been developed a larger class of launcher, then they may start strapping superheavies together as an interim solution just like Falcon Heavy.

You still need to develop new infrastructure to accommodate Starship Heavy.
>>15974327
Exactly what this guy said. It's a matter of cost and time. If they had infinite money and resources than an interim solution makes sense. But we saw what happened with FH and the delays that program had. Also, will their workforce have more experience building large class rockets than can be relatively easily scaled a couple meters or will they have more experience integrating multiple boosters together onto a single launch vehicle? My hunch is that scaling a Starship/Booster 33% more would be a more worthwhile problem to solve compared to an already interim solution of Starship heavy.
Anonymous at Sat, 13 Jan 2024 20:03:33 UTC No. 15974332

The problem here would be plumbing and reliability vs designing an brand new engine.
As you scale the number of engines you scale the pipes and plumbing as well which could include unforeseen technical problems and it might be more worth it to just design a brand new GigaRaptor or some shit. Nobody really knows the answer to this question.
Musk did mention having a nuclear starship so that would be cool. Idk if it will be on the current class of starship or on a future larger class

I remember seeing some pic about electric thrusters when that argon hall thruster was revelead
some research/theory that you could make them much better, though you would need chemical engines for landing
not sure if it makes sense to have multiple different types of engines, that would make things pretty complicated
and what do you gain? a bit more mass or something? just make the starship bigger

Yeah... no.
Ion thrusters are good for what they are. They require MASSIVE amounts of energy. You would practically need a nuclear reactor on board to power any meaningful amount of thrust from Ion thrusters for Starship. Methane is good enough for Mars.
Not to mention, hydrogen is much easier to produce for rocket fuel for Nuclear and you can still use Methane fueled NTP.

With all the new space inside (methane and LOX tanks replaced), you could fit some absolutely MASSIVE unfolding solar arrays inside those 9 meters.
Starship, especially the new Starship 2.0 has so much payload capacity both in size and mass it is unreal

It will naturally change with the economic and social conditions. Strict military discipline will be needed for the initial colonization phase. Everyone will be living in very close proximity and all working pretty much exclusively on sustaining and expanding life support infrastructure. There will be no room for strikes or deliberation on rationing, and no economic activity to speak of outside of maybe sexual favors in exchange for rations.
Once populations are larger, and redundant, decentralized life support infrastructure is built out, you can start to grow an actual economy with different sorts or workers and industy. At that point, you could start to transition to a republic with a strong technocratic/meroticratic streak.

If you're smart about dividing up your payloads, any rocket as big or bigger than a Delta IV Heavy can be used as the basis for a lunar mission. New Glenn's more than big enough, and once it's flight proven enough to be easily reusable it should be cheap enough that putting the mission together wouldn't require an absurd budget.

The turbulent flow and areas of low pressure allow moisture in the air to condense, the same thing can be seen on planes wings when atmospheric conditions are right. Rockets often generate this effect when transiting the speed of sound.

Unironically this, and generously subsidize motherhood if you ever want to see a martian birthrate that isnt arbitrarily close to 0. Sure, there will probably always be immigrants from earth, but it's likely to skew heavily male for a long time, just like the american west and modern mancamps. To add to that, its likely that any woman who does make the trip will be faced by all the same social and economic pressures that are driving down birthrates in the first world but x1000. There will never be a Martian civilization until there is a positive birth rate on the planet, and that won't happen unless that Martian society sees the role of motherhood as crucial to the building of their civilization as that of the engineers, biologists, techs, ect..

people mock spacex for having half baked cg animations with major design oversights, but if im not mistaken this design shows no control surfaces, are they suposed to control the whole descent using reaction control thrusters? seems like a lot of wasted prop, thiough shuttle controlled its yaw on almost the whole way down using prop since the tail wasnt in the airstream and was retarded dead weight, so i suppsoe its tradition at this point.

You can do that in the software industry. If you can 1) actually 2) make shit 3) that works, no one cares about anything else.
You can insinuate yourself into the role you want by starting or volunteering for projects that allow you to develop and show competence in skills compatible with your long term goals (either within your organization or in free software projects).

That's the worst possible outcome. Mars would be stuck with modern day politics, but with the US federal government able to force its disgusting ideals on much smaller and more dependent Martian societies. Imagine a government housing project on Mars with a generous helping of dangerous sexual predators and third world "refugees" (also primarily dangerous sexual predators). The only good thing about this nightmare scenario is how quickly they would all die. 10/10 as a death camp for undesirables, but 0/10 as a long term human colony.
The ideal is many tiny nation states that interact via trade and technology transfer, and whose only central coordination is for defense against Earthers and tubefags.
Similarly, their relationship with Earth would be limited to trade and technology transfer, plus brain draining away Earthers with skills.

Same with Virgin Galactic, it's barely suborbital. Calling yourself Galactic seems a bit shitty

Agree more to the second point than the first, Starship is more of a Starship than a capsule is, at least. It has fins and a nose, lands and takes off again.

Roscosmos will survive in some form. The needs of the Russian government can be met by their current satellite production capacity and the Soyuz-2. The real question is if the cosmonaut program is going to survive.

Life is good there, but some conditions can make it hard. The county has the highest rate of child poverty in the state, about a third of people in the middle and lower income range have no health insurance, and one in three people are below the poverty line.

Effectively illegal in America, both for environmental reasons and because it's illegal to operate dredges. Jones Act compliant dredges basically do not exist, so it is de-facto illegal even if that law is not explicitly on the books. Specifically, the Foreign Dredge Act of 1906. Whenever something sucks massively, the culprit is usually the government, and the government acts through laws. You could email your congressman and tell them you are ANGRY about dredges and want to know that you're voting for someone who take a firm pro-dredge stance. You probably won't do this though, things will continue to suck, and I'll die without ever passing the Karman line.

>depth of 50m
The pool with the iss mock up is 15m. Why do they need something that deep? That's getting into serious technical diving. Trimix and decompression time ect. Seems like a lot of added risk and complexity for training operations. For reference, the deepest you can go with regular recreational diving is about 35m, and depending on your dive profile, you'll only have 3-5 minutes of bottom time before you have to ascend. If you want to spend any useful amount of time down at 50m, you're going to have to so some long deco stops.
