ORLANDO, Florida—The Pentagon has approached SpaceX about potentially taking over Starship for sensitive and potentially dangerous missions as a government-owned, government-operated asset instead of contracting the company to launch payloads.
The company has been exploring its options in responding, Gary Henry, a senior adviser with SpaceX, told the audience at the Space Mobility Conference here Jan. 30.
SpaceX is already on contract for development of the Department of the Air Force’s Rocket Cargo mission, with the goal of delivering cargo point to point through space. But this is beyond that plan, Henry says.
“We have had conversations … and it really came down to specific missions, where it’s a very specific and sometimes elevated risk or maybe a dangerous use case for the DOD where they’re asking themselves: Do we need to own it as a particular asset … SpaceX, can you accommodate that?” he says.
“We’ve been exploring all kinds of options to kind of deal with those questions,” he says.
The idea is similar to how the Air Force moves cargo. At times, the service contracts with private carriers to deliver cargo, but for certain critical missions it uses service “gray tail” aircraft. In this hypothetical case, the military could take a Starship off the line for a specific mission and return it to SpaceX after it is complete.
Col. Eric Felt, director of space architecture for the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration, says there are certain concepts of operation that could be relevant for a government-owned, government-operated space vehicle.
“If we can buy the commercial service, that’s what we’re going to do, but there might be some use cases where there needs to be a government-owned, government-operated [vehicle] and that transfer can happen on the fly,” Felt says.

>Following Artemis I, teams updated the 68 high-speed cameras, which start during the final 12 seconds of the countdown to provide views of the rocket and surrounding ground structures during launch. The imagery also is used in detailed post-launch analysis.
>The updates on the cameras include:
>Software and procedures to ensure proper field of view of the rocket and spacecraft.
>High-speed digital camera firmware and digital recorder software to improve visual video quality.
>Optical control system software to ensure accurate setup.
>Upgraded faceplate purge hardware – a small tool near the camera lens that releases small amounts of gaseous nitrogen to remove any water that falls on the lenses.
>Personnel at Kennedy next will test the dynamic range of the cameras during a nighttime commercial rocket launch from a nearby launch site. Following each operation, teams will analyze the footage to ensure each camera performed as expected.

The board lied about being independent, thus making the shareholder decision not based on actual fact, thus meaning it was improper. Make another (or even the exact same) compensation plan, put it for vote again with the proper disclosure this time, shareholders will obviously vote for it again, issue solved. Now shut up and post about spaceflight, niggers.

No the board didn't lie. The judge's opinion is that Elon Musk has large influence over HIS company, therefore everyone under him is not independent. That includes boards whom he has some friends with, boards that dont talk to him but whom they own their career to him (like wtf?), and not just those but also claim third party independent consultants to the deal doesn't count, shareholder votes dont count, etc. Another opinion from the judge is that the board didn't tell shareholders the likelyhood of achieving those goals. lol
How is a board supposed to predict the future of the company that is nearing bankruptcy during that year? Who would have believed that Tesla would grow to 600+ billion worth today? No one. There is no foresight knowledge, there is only guesses, personal drives, hard work, persistence, luck, timing, etc involved.
The judge's opinions are weak at best.

not in this case, only to the supreme court of Delaware
and in fact this wasn't really a decision by the judge yet, it was an opinion with the option for the two parties in the lawsuit to come to some agreement, but obviously that isn't going to happen
the judge has to still write the actual decision, then that can be appealed to the Delaware supreme court
but seeing the shit that is happening I wouldn't really put too much faith into that court actually being unbiased
the shareholders should be able to approve of a new package and whatever after moving into Texas though, so even if this isn't appealed and it is actually voided fully, its not completely over
I'm pretty sure shareholders are overwhelmingly behind Musk here, the people who don't like him etc have mostly sold off although there are some exceptions

>NASA completed the sixth of 12 scheduled RS-25 engine certification tests in a critical series for future flights of the agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket as engineers conducted a full-duration hot fire Jan. 27 at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The current series builds on previous hot fire testing conducted at NASA Stennis to help certify production of new RS-25 engines by lead contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3 Harris Technologies company. The new engines will help power NASA’s SLS rocket on future Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond, beginning with Artemis V. Operators fired the RS-25 engine on the Fred Haise Test Stand for almost eight-and-a-half minutes (500 seconds) – the same amount of time needed to help launch SLS – and at power levels ranging between 80% to 113%. The current series is the second and final series to certify production of the engines, which include several upgraded components. NASA completed an initial 12-test certification series with the new components in June 2023. Four RS-25 engines fire simultaneously to help launch each SLS rocket, producing up to 2 million pounds of combined thrust.

Spaceflight is like software, it lives and dies by iteration speed and engineers being unblocked. Companies fail because they put too much paperwork and management in the pipeline of technical decisions. This is impossible for government agencies and public companies to avoid in current lawfare environments and so SpaceX will keep whipping everyone's ass until another privately held company reaches orbit.

random thing that just came up in a spaces talking about incorporating companies (with respect to Musks compensation package)
Mars might become the epicenter of new innovation and companies because there will be so much less regulation
after independence, you are going to start with a clean slate with no bullshit regulation that was written 300 years ago or accumulated during the existence of the republic (or whatever form the independent mars becomes)
not sure how long its going to take to get independence
some autonomy should happen pretty soon but it will be under USA federal regulation I guess? if its started by Musk and SpaceX and it comes from USA at first, they will want to keep control for as long as possible

It likely won't. EV market growth is about to slow and stall in many markets in the not too distant future, not least because of electric grid limitations. EV competition is about to get extremely brutal, especially the competition from Chinese EV companies like BYD. There will likely be a global EV subsidy war, which non-Chinese manufacturers are likely to lose because their governments can't into serious industrial policy, just like they lost the photovoltaics and battery component and rare earth wars and are on track to lose the war over >14nm semiconductors in a decade. An escalated US-China trade war or other geopolitical tensions could also upend battery supply chains for non-Chinese EV manufacturers, because China now has 90% market share of many critical battery upstream components. At least Tesla has their Shanghai factory though.

Why not just use one of the hundreds of different industrial robot designs that already exist today? If you want mobility, why not just a robot on a cart or rail? Etc. Tesla bot seems like a narrow niche product that is superior only for some very specific applications, not a universal wide-demand product like EVs are.
If the idea is to create a robot that can be installed in a cheap and simple "just plop down where a human used to be" manner that requires no modifications to your facility, then it will require some really amazing AI.

This is interesting in that there appears to be no structure to support thrust loads from the side boosters. This made me think of the very Kerbal idea of the side boosters flying alongside the main, and using the one connection to crossfeed fuel and oxidizer. Just the thought of the control needed to fly the boosters together with such minimal structural connections is comical.

Its both. The "big thing" hardware wise is Tesla's manufacturing/mass production path. The "big thing" software side is they can already and effectively navigate the world with their FSD vision system. Now the next "big thing" is to teach the bot how to control itself by learning from humans, and then learning from itself via their supercomputer training simulations system (same network that their self driving cars system use). Currently the limitation is training hardware, so both car self driving (navigating) and robotic (handy skills) will be competing in resources. They'll building the training hardware necessary and expanding as they go along, so that might not be too much of a bottleneck for long

BYD overtook Tesla in number of sold BEV units in 2023Q4, the vast majority of them in China.
I think the reason Chinese car manufacturers are going abroad isn't because Chinese consumers hate Chinese cars. It's because Chinese car manufacturers can build more cars than there is demand for in China. The Chinese car market is reaching saturation levels, almost all of China's potential first-time car customers have bought cars now, and so now there is mostly just demand for replacements. Also, in the case of EVs, charging infrastructure and electric grid expansion is a constraint for EV adoption growth rate.

Another company was able to train a robot vision model so make coffee from minimal data. Lots of research in this area too. Tesla's advantage is scale and willingness to commit I'd say. Anyway easier to replace human done tasks with a human style robot given the ease of collecting data for it. Besides just visual you could hook up motion sensors and stuff like that.

Yes, and SpaceX could succeed because of well-designed federal procurement, support from the state in terms of space infrastructure access, and the existing pool of skilled labor and expertise that had largely been created thanks to previous government action
Elon Musk's main companies succeeded because of US industrial policy, and Americans hold it against him. Instead, they should applaud him for rising to the occasion to implement the US government's industrial goals, and making use of the state's provided resources arguably better than anyone else did at the time. Yet apparently many Americans think that the only "good" entrepreneur is one who operates solely in free markets, and who relies entirely on private resources or pulls himself up by the bootstraps

Starship refueling ladder going from LEO to EML2 and then launching from EML2 to Jupiter or Saturn as an expendable kickstage would be the ultimate chemical rocket system for probe delivery. After that it's time to go NEP (and QI if it works).

The reality is German car companies are facing death in China. Both Tesla and BYD are there to replace both the legacy gas cars and european companies in China. On top of that, Tesla is eating European cars in Europe and others in US.

A kerolox gas gen design would just big a big Merlin. SpaceX did think about a Merlin 2 that was in that same neighborhood, so it's not a completely terrible idea. Merlin 1 doesn't seem to have any issues being heavily reused despite an inefficient power cycle and using sooty fuel. That said, SpaceX did ditch the Merlin 2 for Raptor, so there's also probably an even better argument for using staged combustion. I remember Stoke saying that complex power cycles weren't that big an issue back when the announced that they were going for full flow staged combustion on Nova's booster.
I think a lot of the hesitancy around staged combustion is just leftover oldspace lore from the 1980s. Before the end of the cold war everyone was saying that ORSC engines were impossible to actually build, which was why everyone obviously should use fuel rich hydrogen like the shuttle. Then after the wall came down and everyone found out that the Soviets had been flying staged combustion kerosene engines for over a decade the narrative changed to "It's so super complex that only someone like Aerojet could ever do it, and they say it's too hard to be practical (without lots of government funding)."
Gas gen would be simpler and cheaper and wouldn't have any issues getting the job done, but staged combustion would give you a more competitive vehicle and wouldn't be an impossible goal for a reasonably funded and well-manged group.

Specifically I was imagining a tripropellant SSTO that uses Venture Star style linear aerospikes as its primary engines that are assisted by the RP1 engines that shut off about halfway to orbit.
The orbiter would also have pop-out attach points for generic turbofan engines so it could fly itself from one site to another (it would be too big to fit on the Shuttle carrier 747), drawing from the same RP1 tanks that it uses for orbital launches.

If you're thinking about an SSTO you're going to need anything other than gas gen. Anything that gets you more efficiency just went from something desirable to an absolute necessity.

That's an endurance that goes from something measured in hours to something measured in months. That's useful if you want to pitch Centaur V out onto a heliocentric orbit and then have it perform a deep space maneuver that would have normally been the spacecraft's responsibility, but there aren't that many missions that could take advantage of that capability. Orbital refueling is going to be way more useful and the one thing Tory never seems to talk about is how Centaur V/ACES is supposed to get tanked back up.

It's very easy once you figure it out/get something working. The problem with difficulty perception is that most people think of space probes, which are almost always new designs, which means they're hard.
The first Falcon booster landing was hard. Ten years later SpaceX lands more reliably than most people launch.
Space itself is a clean vacuum with mild dose rates and harsh thermals. Space is the ideal environment for a machine to run with zero maintenance for decades. The only issue is we're not used to designing shit for that environment so we suck at it on the first attempt.

> She explained that Northrop Grumman’s Passive Refueling Module (PRM) was developed with government funding so it went through a specialized assessment as government-owned intellectual property. This led to its approval as a refueling standard for military satellites. However, Bulson stressed, this does not preclude adopting other commercially developed options.

Yes. Northop-Grumman isn't commanding B-21 missons. Once SS is mature, DoD wants to purchase a few (and hopefully throw $/ political weight behind developing it first). Like other pieces of high tech military equipment, the DoD will own and operate it, but have some SpaceX contractors advising on ground support and maintenance.

Noncompete clauses are explicitly non enforceable in California. It's why they still have a startup culture.

The entire porn market should have gone under the second cheap webcams became commercially available to the public. Who wants to see some tatted up whore with a thousand cock stare pretending to enjoy her thursday at work? That performance is so far removed from real sex as to be ridiculous.

>shareholders will obviously vote for it again
Why would they? Musk has already delivered his services. Musk's only leverage is to threaten to withhold future services.
Besides, even if shareholders did vote to reinstate the same comp package, the judge would just void it again unless Tesla's board is swapped before the vote. And the judge might void it again anyway unless Musk's worst enemies are appointed to Tesla's board because that's the only thing the judge considers to be "independent".

Never said that, didn't imply it, bad try.
I said the professional porn industry doesn't need to exist when any person can create the material themselves for free, and distribute it for free. There's no need for a market model.

everything other than SpaceX is a meme or a grift or both
they're also-rans whose best case scenario is using legislation or litigation to do some rent seeking
Rocket Lab is both
