>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.

Yep, this. Once you get out of LEO the high vacuum pressure becomes a big deal and the only way to practice for it is deep water diving. Astronaut training facilities need to build ≥50m pools to prep for deep space astronaut missions.

Once we start serious construction on the lunar and Martian surfaces, and in LEO, we'll probably start moving away from the gigachad airforce test pilot PhD paradigm and move towards a more industrial, skilled craft one.

a thousand years is a really long time, I would be surprised if a generation ship doesn't happen within 200 years
when you have the tech to process random trash like asteroids floating around to build O'neill Cylinders and the like, it doesn't really matter if the star system you are going towards has "habitable" planets
perhaps it might not happen in 200 years it taking more than that for humanity to fully saturate this star system and only then there would be significant pressure to get the fuck out
generation ships might not make sense either if you have AGI and can send fully autonomous robots to build the habitats for you and then upload your mind and send it there or something

First i thought it isnt a good idea since its just a fast fly by but when i googled it seemed to be interesting.

>Nextbigfuture notes that the design looks very simple and achievable. If it works then by 2030s we would be able to mass produce probes by the thousands to explore the solar system and sending out telescopes to the gravitational lens point would give direct high-resolution imaging of exoplanets in thousands of solar systems.

>The Wind Rider could reach the solar gravity focal line around 550 AU from the sun in less than 7 years. Putting telecopes at the gravitational lens lines would let us look at the continents and islands on exoplanets in other solar systems. We would be able use the sun to focus light with a billion times gain in resolution. The nearly one million mile diameter of the sun would focus light onto our telescopes.

But how likely it is to become reality?

It's their solution to the boiloff problem, consume 22 tons of GCH4/GOX in transit rather than needing solar panels, batteries, and refrigeration hardware, and 700kg of GCH4/GOX on ascent rather than batteries. NASA has literally never relied on batteries for a deep space vehicle until Orion and now it's causing a major Artemis delay so I suspect they want to go back to fuel cells.

The Flexible Lunar Architecture for Exploration (FLARE): Designed for the Artemis-3 Moon 2024 Mission and Beyond
The Flexible Lunar Architecture for Exploration (FLARE) is a concept to deliver four crew to the lunar surface for 7 to 14 days and then return them safely to Earth by 2024. This meets NASA’s internal 2024 lunar landing deadline directed by President Trump (Trump, 2017) and the “5-year” goal set forth by Vice President Pence (Pence, 2019). FLARE is an alternative to NASA’s Human Landing System reference architecture from the Design Analysis Cycle (DAC) #2 (NASA, 2019b). The minimum FLARE concept uses one Space Launch System launch, one Orion, one European Service Module (ESM), and one human lander to deliver four crew to the Moon for a minimum surface duration of 7 days and return them to Earth. FLARE adds a new capability, called the SpaceTug, based upon the mature and successful United Launch Alliance “Common” Centaur Upper Stage vehicle, with modifications. In FLARE, the SpaceTug provides propulsion needed to return the Orion+ESM from the Moon to Earth. The SpaceTug also provides propulsion to deliver the human lander Descent Element (DE) and Ascent Element (AE) separately to lunar orbit. The Orion+ESM then completes a rendezvous with the mated DE+AE in lunar orbit. FLARE also offers optional phases to the Moon 2024 mission. The SpaceTug can also deliver components of the planned Gateway - including the Power and Propulsion Element and the Habitation and Logistics Outpost - to lunar orbit; however, the planned FLARE destination is a Low Lunar Frozen Polar Orbit unlike the NASA DAC2 plan for a Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit. FLARE also provides an option to deliver precursor equipment - including a habitation module, crew mobility devices and an In-Situ Resource Utilization demonstration - to the lunar surface for enhanced crew exploration and science with the extended 14-day surface mission.

only with biomechanics tier stuff. Machines you design as living organisms that have evolution capacity to actively adapt to its surrounding conditions in a very wide scale parameters.

Way, way beyond deep in the highly theoretical advanced genetic engineering. Far cry from the crude mockery of metal, copper, silicon and rubber used in todays tools where if a critical wire breaks the machine shits itself until someone manually solders it back in its place.

Too bad the alien franchise is locked in the hands of shallow retards. The biomechanics idea demonstrated by Gigers artwork would make a great framework to explore the possibilites. Xenos briefly touched this subject in the only two good movies before they just turned into black and slimy space bugs to shoot at.

>Peregrine will soon return to Earth’s atmosphere and the vehicle is now about 234,000 miles away. We are working with NASA to continue updating and evaluating the controlled re-entry path of Peregrine. We do not believe Peregrine’s re-entry poses safety risks, and the spacecraft will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. We are validating this through analyses in collaboration with the U.S. Government. We will continue to operate the spacecraft and provide status updates through the end of the mission.

>“I am so proud of what our team has accomplished with this mission. It is a great honor to witness firsthand the heroic efforts of our mission control team overcoming enormous challenges to recover and operate the spacecraft after Monday’s propulsion anomaly. I look forward to sharing these, and more remarkable stories, after the mission concludes on January 18. This mission has already taught us so much and has given me great confidence that our next mission to the Moon will achieve a soft landing,” said Astrobotic CEO, John Thornton.

What is wrong with people, we shouldn't encourage this kind of pathetic environmentalist space mindset cause its just going to lead to endless bitching and regulation when SpaceX start leaving hulks of dead Starships on the moon or lunar orbit, or Mars/Mars orbit and people will find their excuse to start bitching about space junk/debris like its a big deal out there

India has plans for a new facility at Kulasekharapatnam so they don't need to dogleg around Sri Lanka when aiming for polar orbits. The only thing that would keep SaxaVord from launching something eventually is if all of the European small launch companies go under, and that doesn't seem the most likely right now. Aside from that, there's really not much coming up beyond Starship that needs a new launch site, and even that is going to be sticking to established locations until SpaceX returns to sealaunch platforms.

> The saga of Falcon 9 development might provide some insight into what we might reasonably expect with Starship. Falcon 9 was designed to be reusable from the outset, yet it took 5 years before SpaceX managed to recover the boost stage and another 2 years before it was reflown. However, they achieved a huge amount with Falcon 9 even without reuse

Obviously to make it lighter for landing. If they landed it in the ocean with a half tank of liquid oxygen that would be a huge problem. They had to blow up a Falcon 9 in the ocean one time because it was too dangerous for crews to detank it and make it ready to transport.

Because they weren't 100% sure that hot staging wouldn't cause the booster or the ship to explode. So there was no point in putting in an actual payload, and they just added extra LOX to simulate a payload instead. IFT-2 was more about hot staging with a bonus of trying to get the ship to orbit. IFT-2 confirmed that their hot-staging design is a good one and the booster will hold up fine during separation and the initial flip.

Even their engine shutdown and relight sequence was flawless. Where it went wrong, for the booster, was the fuel slosh which nuked the downcomer, which destroyed internal plumbing and caused massive air bubbles in the fuel tank. This subsequently caused the raptors to explode in succession, and that triggered the AFTS. The fuel slosh happened because the booster flipped way too quickly and in process, reignited its engines and underwent a thrust vector profile which led to outcome we saw.

So for IFT-3, I would expect that they'll do a slower flip or use the autogenous pressure as hot gas thruster to do a complete turn before an engine relight and maybe put a payload on the next Starship too.

they're minimally load bearing if at all, but they're hugely important for thermal management as the shuttle's radiators are integrated into the inside surface of the doors. That's why on even the (very few) missions where the shuttle had no payload in the bay, they still opened the doors and kept them open until it was time for reentry.

NASA planners aren't allowed to acknowledge SpaceX Starship existence due to hostility between Biden admin and Elon.
However, they aren't completely stupid and they want to make plans using Starship (if nothing else).
Solution to that conundrum is to "invent" hypothetical NASA spacecraft. One that entirely coincidentally happens to have exactly the same parameters as Starship, but is absolutely in no way associated with SpaceX.
That way they could have projects with Starship in mind ready to sign off should the political situation change

The first Mars mission should be sent with self-sufficiency and self-expansion in mind from the outset, even if it balloons the cost of the mission and requires many more starships, everything needed to build basic industry and agriculture on Mars such as CNC machines, baby chickens in cryostasis, and databanks with information for everything technological from chemistry to electronics to surgery. Skilled chemists/geologists should be sent to prospect and find ways to refine Martian ore and Mars should have the ability to make its own electronics day 1 even if it’s antiquated vacuum tube shit. Anyone that isn’t there for resource extraction/production and colony construction will be dead weight.

Allegedly, the plot of land is owned by a registered sex offender; and its for sale, but the person is asking for couple of million dollars. SpaceX's reputation would take a colossal hit if they bought that plot of land, so they're doing the most obvious solution: building around it. They'll just wait until the person in question dies of natural causes, which would default the land back to the state, and point which they'll purchase it probably.

Martian dust storms are harmless. Wind speeds reach several hundred kilometers per hour, but with only 1% atmospheric density of Earth, the force pressure of that speed with that density is equal to being poked. You could go outside, stand in it and not be impacted.

>antiquated vacuum tube shit

You know, given Mars's atmosphere, that makes a lot of sense. Does the process for integrated circuit lithography benefit in any way from a low pressure/near vacuum, low temperature environment?

From off the top of my head, the process of making ICs involves manipulation of liquid water and silicone near the atomic scale. One could see the construction of tubes as preferable from a resources/manufacturing standpoint.

Waste heat as well. Like how Curiosity and Perseverance use RTG heat to keep electronics from failing, it could also supplement central heating.

Someone steal this idea for a future mission, please.

Fact is that plasma/solar wind interaction/dynamics in space are just a huge gaping unknown, we need a tech demonstrator at least. But in order to interact properly it needs to be outside the Earth's magnetic field, which makes it much harder to launch a low profile test on some SX Transporter flight.

It's an unrelated detail that he sold more than half of his shares and then complained about losing control of the company? It's my mere assertion that he doesn't want more ownership despite doing that? You absolute fucking nitwit, you were the person who first brought up a compensation plan in a failed attempt to move the goal posts, most Tesla investors would be completely okay with that if it meant he would actually focus on running the company and not being a retard on twitter or interfering with geopolitics. That is not something he wants.

Not much of a complaint, and he doesn't seem to be looking to divest since he's using Tesla inc to diversify their product portfolio, not making more startups that he controls.

Part of the problem was that the P120C A6 wasn't lifting quite enough mass to LEO make it worth Kuiper's time. The P160 went from a possible future upgrade to a thing that was absolutely going to happen at the same time that Amazon bought everyone out of stock for med-heavy launch capacity. The core is pretty much a stock Ariane 5 H173 aside from a slightly improved Vulcain engine.

The 160s only give it a 20% boost to LEO and a 10% boost to GTO. Ariane was always a rocket that was optimized for GTO missions. They did think about a more LEO-capable two engine version back in the early 90s, but binned the whole idea because LEO they felt LEO wasn't worth it as a market. Adding more SRB is really the only thing they can do at this point to try and adapt to a new market.

Well to be fair they were right in the 90s given a lack of Hermes to send to Mir or the ISS. Everybody wanted high orbits. LEO as a major satellite space relies on replaceable mass produced cheap sats and/or refillable thruster propellant (or QI lmao), none of which was around before SpaceX.

In Ariane's case they're explicitly a jobs program so they're locked in to a bad architecture AND politically threatened by reuse. It's the SLS of Europe. They use SRBs to feed French and Italian missile companies, not because it's better for launch. SpaceX existing completely outside the legacy ICBM supply chain and having financial incentives for reuse AND having the spare cash flow to get there iteratively is pretty much unique.

Politics aside and just focusing on the tech:
The secret to SpaceX's VTVL is the 9xMerlins having a variable thrust ratio of 40% and only having a thrust of 36-85t, which combined with the mass of the F9 stage 22-25t, can easily achieve a vertical landing.
Other companies are unable to do this due to a lack of engines with appropriate thrust.
Most engines have a thrust of >100t, with a 50% throttle of >50t, while the rocket body weighs only 14-22t, makes vertical landings impossible.
Then there's flying a steady cadence once you have your reusable rocket.
Most companies/programs are just not that fast moving or have the culture and work ethic of SpaceX

>Serious question: is making a reusable rocket this tedious?
They don't want to make reusable rockets; most launch providers don't have enough stuff to fly and don't launch often enough to keep people employed making rockets if they build reusable launch vehicles. That's why ULA went with the "SMART" bullshit: it keeps their guys employed making all their rocket stuff, but stops them from buying so many engines from their supplier (BO).

It's quicker to build slightly larger boosters and hope your payload increases more than your cost than it is to design a whole new reusable launch vehicle. And they are working on reusable rockets. It's just that in Europe those programs have to fight for funding with Avio and the solids cartel. A lot of nations have practice and hardware from their solid SRB programs and converting those into a small launcher by adding on a stage or two is a pretty quick and cheap way to get to space.

And there's nothing inherently wrong with hydrolox. There's a lot of reasons why it's not optimal, but the eighties and nineties left a lot of groups with a lot of experience working with hydrogen, and when that's what you've got it makes a lot more sense to run with it than it does dropping it for something that performs better on paper. Hydrogen is a bitch to work with but it's far from a deal breaker.

presumably they'll be catching that in bottles all over the place
if they actually make some sort of maneur fermentation plant to produce methane i will have a hefty kek

a colony of machines that can produce more of themselves, around a long burning nuclear reactor, and solar panels on the outside. damaged stuff gets recycled. some material loss is fine.

Why didn't they just do their whole production & testing set up in God's Country Arkansas, next to one of the many waterways, and do all the testing needed there

So far nothing has been done that needed a coastal launch site

There's no magic TWR where a hoverslam becomes "impossible", your timing margins just get tighter and tighter. Whether they're too tight for a given engine's startup/shutdown to meet depends on the engine.

But certainly any institution without extensive experience landing rockets ought to be making things easier on themselves, rather than harder.

they don't have to evacuate the whole are to do testing
cryo testing has already moved to masseys, static fires will probably move there as well
they don't build them 500 miles away because that would be extremely retarded and this has been talked about before, probably brought up by you

You have enormous cryogenic oceans that you could use as a cooling medium.
