Latest Russian "timeline" shows only single Soyuz going to #ISS in 2026 and 2028, no flights in 2030. I wonder if NASA knows that it will have one crew exchange opportunity in those years? (...and we can ignore the shown ROS schedule as completely, positively unachievable):

Can mars ever be truely interpendent? Maybe they can be self sustaining but it seems like they can never avoid the total destruction by getting nuked, so they can always be coerced by earth. Unless maybe they get nuclear weapon but even then, they will never have enough nukes to destroy earth completly but earth has enough nukes to destroy every human infastructure on mars and a single starship would be enough to deliver enough nukes to mars. And i also assume that earth has better capacities to counter rockets filled with nukes since mass producing antirocketrockets and developing new technologies is easier on a planet with billions of humans.

Elon said the latest Starship launch actually would have made it to orbit if it had included a payload. Because the ship was lighter than usual there was excess propellant, and they were venting the oxygen which led to an explosion.

Is building BE-4 the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than building a BE-4. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are designing, prototyping, building and testing an engine for at least 18 years solely so it can go and get flown into space by another man. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little engine - deciding on an architecture, designing the turbine and fuel pumps, making sure the combustion chamber doesn't melt or explode, pretending desperately it's somehow comparable to Raptor. All of it has one simple result: its TWR is higher for the men that will eventually use it to orbit their payloads.

Made the perfect engine? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random man who had nothing to do with the way it was built, who integrates it. He gets to ignite it on launch day. He gets the benefits of its reliability that came from the way you designed it.

As a man builds BE-4, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to make an engine for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

They could, but that would mean pulling out of their ISS participation, which would ground the cosmonaut corps for years until the new station was ready. That's a big problem because "paused" almost always means hard canceled when it comes to the Russian space program. Things that stop almost never start back up again because all the funding vanishes.

They don't need to though, because ROS modules are already under construction. The advantage of starting ROS around 2030 is that the components can limp along to completion with minimal funding while the cosmonauts keep flying and the Kremlin doesn't reallocate their budget.

This applies at present to any non-nuclear state. But it doesn't mean that states can't be self-sufficient in practical terms, just that they fall under the sphere of influence of one of the great powers.
Mars can certainly be self-sufficient. It's not like a space station. There are resources right outside the door to be had. They may choose to import hydrogen in bulk rather than extracting it from water. Nitrogen may also become a commodity. They can probably trade with overall expertise of orbital construction, since access to Mars orbit is so easy which would lead to an advantage in space infrastructure.

Some interesting information about the Gravity-1 rocket

Yao Song, co-CEO of Orienspace, says he thinks the cost will be $5-6k/kg to orbit, which he says is currently the lowest commercial launch price in China. From the context of talking about remote sensing satellites, I think means to SSO. He also says the Gravity-1 can be ready for launch within 5 hours from being built, and that it can carry 20-30 remote sensing satellites at once.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avvi_A2BLg8

Jean Deville says CGSTL bought 4 Gravity-1 launches at $27m each, which works out to $4.2k/kg to LEO or $6.4k/kg to 500km SSO

it's funny because CZ-5 is actually pretty cheap ($3k/kg which is expendable F9 level) and they finally have a foreign customer for it but it takes a really long time to prepare it
they only managed to launch it once last year which puts it behind Delta IV Heavy in terms of prep time (it did two back to back NROL missions once)

They managed to launch three times back in 2020, so they can hit a better cadence if they try. I think most of the problem is that China's domestic payloads are small and launching to undemanding orbits and they can't get international GEO customers because the State Department/ITAR won't let American sourced tech fly on Chinese rockets.

You can get expendable launch vehicles to work economically if you can build them cheaply enough and launch them often enough. The problem is that reuseables will out complete you logistically, so you'll end up with a low cadence because lol no payloads. Your production line ends up working at maybe 5% capacity which drives your price all the way up and your problems start feeding off each other like a toxic relationship.

and if they snap out of it a few years later, its too late, their bodies are permanently disfigured and they might have even made themselves infertile
you are correct that men that would have been social outcasts anyway starting to take hormones might not affect the gene pool too much, but percentages this high (15-20%) then you are going to have some damage anyway

> Unlike proposals to build solar power stations in space and transmit energy down to earth, all the generation would still happen down here. Crucially, these reflectors could help solar farms generate electricity even when direct sunlight is not available, especially during evening and early morning hours when demand for clean energy is greatest. Colleagues and I call this concept “orbiting solar reflectors”.
> With the reflectors orbiting 900km above us – about twice the altitude of the International Space Station – we estimate that the illuminated area on the Earth would be approximately 10km across when at its brightest. Therefore, a system like this would not be aimed at individual rooftop solar panels but large solar power farms, typically located away from inhabited areas.
> Each pass would extend energy generation by about 15 to 20 minutes around the dawn or dusk hours. This is important because those hours are when electricity demand is the highest and often exceeds the amount being generated by wind and solar, meaning coal and gas power plants are used to compensate. Reflectors may therefore help abate fossil fuel use without needing to store energy during the day.

It's not, but it's not a bad idea. With a single RD-191 at minimum throttle a cluster of five URM-1 modules plus landing gear would have a thrust-mass ratio of less than 1, which would mean that it wouldn't need to perfect Falcon 9's hoverslam.

The problem is that this is planning on using a downrange barge landing, and Russia doesn't have the easily means of getting something this size from Vladivostok back to Vostochny. It also seems to need a hydrogen upper stage, which is something Russia's had a lot of issues with in the past and doesn't have any infrastructure to support currently.

Very crudely: Inertia is caused by quantum waves pushing against objects, and quantum waves are naturally dampened in certain directions because of horizons, this dampening explains why galaxies stick together when they should scatter. (The previous explanation for this was dark matter)
Since the waves can be dampened, we can exploit this by dampening them artifically with electromagnets, if we dampen in one direction we get thrust in that direction, allowing us to get thrust without fuel, by pushing against the waves

To clarify this anon's point, the Unruh radiation bath is the same in all directions except when damped by mass (this causes gravity) or by acceleration (damped in one direction, intensified in another, this causes inertia). The reason quantum events don't seem to obey gravity is that unless the waves coalesce into actual photons, quantum scale events literally don't have gravity.

That is laughable. What's missing is the long list of stuff which MOND cannot explain, like the fluctuations in the CMB, lensing, like the bullet cluster or clusters in general. Things which McCulloch totally promises he can explain but you can see any of the details.

>>15994133
It's "predictions" for galaxy dynamics have already been falsified, with wide binaries.
The paper McCulloch wrote on the topic just copied old data which made the mistake of just averaging over all the objects. But if one looks at the actual distribution it looks nothing like MOND without the EFE (which is what QI copies). People are still arguing about GR vs MOND, but QI is just way off.

China only wants submissive partners and Russia has too much pride to be anything less than an equal.

They haven't caught up yet to Russia's skill with staged combustion but they're not far off.

Additionally, since LEV-2 was deformed from its spherical state in its stored state, we were also able to confirm that it was successfully deployed and driven on the lunar surface after being released from SLIM. Furthermore, under autonomous control, LEV-2 used an image processing algorithm to select high-quality images that were within the SLIM's field of view from among multiple images taken using its onboard optical camera, and then sent them.

Mission operation teams do shit like this all the time because they're cowards and the public will move on without caring about what the actual fuckup was that led to the termination, there is is never any consequence to being highly misleading about it. All the propellent leaked out of your spacecraft and it can't even maintain attitude control? Insist that the problem is that it's low on power and that you will continue trying to reestablish contact.

It's like the Spirit rover who JPL got stuck and rendered it worthless, when it finally died it was 'ooooo a dust storm killed it, solar is hard :('. All while they allude to under sizing their power system to only meet their very short design life criteria and that they don't actually want to do long term missions, citing limited scientific value. Ingenuity lives on out of pure spite, or perhaps because they used a bunch of off the shelf commercial components like the battery cells which have managed to be better than anything they could have come up with.

>It is traveling at 4.72 miles per second. If over the next few months it increases in speed instead of falling out of orbit then this would be evidence that the Quantum Drive works. They want to raise the orbit by 100 kilometers (60 miles). This should start sometime in the next 1-8 weeks and the drive will be on for a month or more.

>1-8 weeks

They need full control of the whole satellite including the reaction wheels because the thrusters don't gimbal. That means they have to wait for all the other payloads to go first.

One thing the article doesn't mention is that like all capacitor driven systems this produces pulsed thrust, so you can vary the thrust by altering the pulse rate.

The two biggest problem with Artemis is
1. they have no real long term plan (if they did you would've seen a lunar constellation already)
2. the Orion spacecraft is NOT CAPABLE of getting down to low lunar orbit, it uses NRHO!
The Constellation folks probably thought they were clever designing Orion in a way that is different from Apollo ie. a space station orbiting the Moon but its stupid.

Problem is Musk for Biden admin. Remember the HLS admin saying fixed firm price is flawed few months ago? Or the demotion from active role for Kathy? Or the Bill Nelson and Biden admin not being able to say the SpaceX/Tesla word for a year+? Or the snubbing of starlink contract from FCC as a first act of the Biden admin? Or the starlink negotiations being leaked by Biden admin to CNN as a hit piece?

These aren't random events. Connect the fucking dots. The current aim is to paint SpaceX as a bad choice for them to discontinued partnership or to make it look as bad as possible.
