Long ways, I'd say hard enough in the Z axis to overcome the friction of air with enough velocity anti-spinward to cancel it out - so basically a function of the dimensions of your tube and its rotation, and the air pressure and humidity you maintain. Same factors, different vectors to get it across wall to wall.
My fun idea is riding a bike or running anti-sprinward fast enough to 0 your rotational velocity and just floating around for an afternoon. You could bring one of those little battery powered pocket fans to putt around with.

Apparently the LM-5 launch date has been moved up to 2025/2026 instead of 2027. Looks like China is speeding up development, maybe due to the new lunar space race with America.

I bet you already knew the answer. 2029 is the deadline they must meet because that is the 80th anniversary of the creation of PRC. Let's be honest space flight is not a profitable enterprise except when you are scamming people with IPO. Capitalist nations like US has no real motivation in a money blackhole like this. They only beat USSR in moon landing and Mars Rover. Moon landing (by humans) was done within an election cycle too, surprise surprise.
It is better to invest money into weapons because at least other countries would buy that, or you can force other countries to pay your bills with that.

The trouble (for NASA) is that once you reenter from the moon it's easier to just keep aerobraking all the way down and land, rather than a deliberate skip out, circularizing in LEO, docking with a lander, transferring crew, and then landing the moon lander uncrewed. This means it'd make way more technical sense to just crew rate Starship and drop Orion/Blorp entirely... but that would make Congress shit depleted uranium bricks and cancel the entire Artemis program.

in fairness the modern landing program is way more ambitious than the original, and with a tiny fraction of the budget of apollo even before Biden slashed it further. The lander has to be a league above the LEM in terms of performance due to the retarded mission profile NASA demands so they can use orion, and not to mention that they have two orders of magnitude lower risk tolerance than they did during apollo. Apollo was willing to take 1 in 10 chance of loss of crew.
If modern NASA was willing to take such risks and pay out appropriately then SpaceX could have mocked up an apollo style landing system derived from dragon and falcon before 2020

Why do retards actually believe that Interstellar is at all realistic? Id like to see the calculations behind how they got that space station to stop spinning and why it didnt just shear in half at some point from the torsion on the space station counter rotating the ship. Not to mention the impossible fucking ice clouds, the ridiculous notion that mile high waves would exist before the planet is ripped apart more than that, unstable orbits, 'gentle singularity' and wormholes are entirely theoretical, the stupid notion that stating in orbit around Millers would decrease time dilation so much when the nigger would rotate to the opposite sufe of the planet with more dilation over 40 years, the drastic change in time dilation AT ALL from going down from orbit, no spaghettification happening, so much. Its a good movie but holy shit shut the fuck up about it being realistic.

>The most recent example is the White House National Space Council’s “Novel Space Activities Authorization and Supervision Framework.” Ostensibly created to “create an agile framework that can respond to changing needs as we scale to the future,” the December 2023 document is more a leash than a catalyst for the creative economic expansion of the newspace revolution now underway.

LMAO, I foresaw this exact shit happening too, they're gonna use the National Space Council to regulate the fuck out of private space, get ready for missions like the Polaris Spacewalk to walk an impossible regulatory landscape

>overshooting the mark by creating a web of interagency interactions that will in fact control the private sector in space by ensnaring it in the threads of various bureaucracies with no clear accountability nor ability for those private actors to understand or appeal the sources of those restraints. This trap begins by placing responsibility for setting and enforcing regulations in the hands of both the secretaries of Commerce and Transportation, giving neither the power nor leadership to create a streamlined system for approval of plans and projects. This one action on its own assures maximum confusion, expense and delay for anyone planning a new space project.

He makes a good point about the title of the bill too

>Clearly born out of the United States government response to international pressures to control what those crazy American disruptors might do in space, just look at the title for the tell. “Novel?” The document defines this term as referring to anything “not directly regulated under the current U.S. regulatory regime.” It may be true that American citizen space activities are considered “novel” from the global bureaucracy’s perspective, while government space projects and programs are considered routine, the baseline, and the standard. However, it is a poor choice of words for our own government to adopt this language. Words have meaning, and coming out the gate, labeling the space equivalent of the diverse and dynamic American private sector economy as “novel” is a bad sign.

AALPT said they will increase production to 300 engines per year, so clearly some mass-produced rockets are intended to use them. Space Pioneer uses the basic YF-102 for their TL-2 rocket, however they likely won't need that many engines, nor will they need the reusable YF-102R variant. SAST will need new rockets to build after the CZ-10/10A start vacuuming up all available YF-100.

All these are for-profit companies, responsible to their investors. They aren't given investment money to "innovate", they're given money to create a viable product ASAP, and the best way to do that is to follow the trodden path of the industry leader (SpaceX).

If you want to see innovative projects, look at CASC and CASIC. Those large SOEs can afford to take on risky unproven projects, because they are not strictly for-profit companies, and a project delay or failure won't cause those companies to go under.

Sierra Space has proposed a larger version of LIFE, designed to fit into a seven-meter payload fairing, with a volume of 1,400 cubic meters.
> LIFE is intended to be one of Sierra Space’s contributions to Orbital Reef, the commercial space station being developed with Blue Origin and others. Sierra Space, though, has proposed launching a LIFE module as a “Pathfinder” space station before Orbital Reef. The company received an unfunded NASA Space Act Agreement in June to give it access to NASA expertise and data to support work on Pathfinder as well as the crewed version of its Dream Chaser spaceplane.

Realistically (and if it even happens) space colonization beyond the initial stages will be exploitative beyond belief, imagine the degree of control a government/corporatocracy can hold over its citizens when air and water must be derived technologically. I think we can't help but be hopeful when talking about space colonization, and that's good because if we accept that it'll be tyranny it'll be worse in the future.

Once starship is up a running, SpaceX should send a few of their welders and iron workers up to try out different construction techniques. I think they should try building out something like picrel around their depot. They could scrap early model tankers on orbit instead of the ground and repurpose those tons of stainless steel into a monolithic structure.

One interesting point I came across with respect to the cargo versions of the landers on the moon is that if ISRU is done on the moon to split water to get hydrogen and oxygen, starship could still take advantage of that as most of the weight of the propellants is oxygen
they could just take extra methane, decreasing the payload a bit but overall probably getting the cost of mass landed on the moon down then load up on oxygen for the return trip
you would have a bunch of extra hydrogen left though

its pointless to harden a spacecraft, it would require way too much material. Even modern tanks arent resitant to simple shape charges, let alone aeroplanes. Spacecraft will use active protection systems kind of like the trophy system on american tanks but much longer range. they will use stealth as their primary defense. I think hydrogen will be the fuel of choice for military spacecraft due to the clean burn, and they may inject a third chemical into the mixture to reduce the signature of a burn even further

Bring ultra heavy fuel oil instead of methane, then hydrogenate it into methane in situ lol

In all seriousness though, just doing oxygen ISRU lets you swap 300 tonnes of oxygen for useful payload (stuff that can be loaded in LEO, like liquid payloads eg ammonia, resins, other chemicals). The added cost of figuring out methane ISRU on the Moon may not be worth the relatively small payload/performance bump for a looong time

I think instead of developing individual bespoke vehicles for serious logistical and industrial purposes in space, we should instead develop what is effectively giant metal versions of lego technic parts and let people build their own vehicles and machines in situ as required. later once we know better what we need and what works, we can develop those bespoke vehicles with very low risk of wasting all that time and effort on lemons.

You'll only need a bulldozer for some of the time, the rest of the time it'll just be sitting there gathering Martian dust under a tarp awaiting the next use. If you can get modular components and simply disassemble the 'dozer when not in use and put those parts into another machine that IS in current use, well that'd be pretty damned efficient.

>Furthermore, it’s crucial to consider why the National Academies haven’t yet adopted lessons learned from the rapidly evolving commercial space industry. New space companies have demonstrated the effectiveness of rapidly designing and testing inexpensive prototypes in ground and space tests to find weaknesses early on. With new, lower-cost rockets featuring larger payload fairings, we have the opportunity to design systems without tight weight, dimensional and power constraints that previously limited experimentation. For instance, Pete Worden, a former director of NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, is a member of a team developing a 6-meter telescope incorporating heavier but relatively low-cost mirror technology for only hundreds of millions of dollars.
