Why cancel both Ares I and Ares V—only to design some brand new, functionally similar “Space Launch System” rocket from scratch?
They couldn’t just axe A-I while keeping Ares V/Orion alive? Yes I know jobs, corruption, etc. but I’m wondering how they justified this to the public at the time? Why did NASA start from scratch?

Cygnus would be much more useful if there was any place to go in orbit besides the ISS. Once we have enough inhabited spots in Earth orbit to do orbit-to-orbit transfer of cargo or passengers I suspect we'll see more of its kind.

That'll depend on how cost effective it is versus Cargo Dragon and Dream Chaser. It was a project made by kerbaling together as many subcontractors as could be easily assembled. Antares 300 should be cheaper as a base vehicle than a Vulcan VC4, but Falcon 9 is still probably going to be setting the lowest launch price.

That's the point though, it amortizes differently. Dragon and Dream Chaser are Earth-return vehicles that go up and then come down, ideally on reusable boosters, and have a bunch of dry mass to survive reentry that limits their performance on orbit. Cygnus (or a related can-with-a-service-module) goes up and stays up for its entire life, so it amortizes by ferrying cargo between stations over and over again while remaining on orbit. Think more of a mini Gateway with refillable chemical propellant tanks than a Progress clone.

It's because they fear nature worship and all forms of existence outside of man's domain. They see space colonies as an extreme form of paganism (which would be metal as fuck, actually) and thus a threat to their position as Chosen and their mission to have dominion over nature.

Carbon monoxide is about as dense as kerosene, so a mass fraction similar to the Falcon 9 upper stage should be possible.
The Isp of carbon monoxide is a bit better than solids but worse than hypergolics, I'll pick 290s as my assumption.
To launch to orbit around Mars you need about 4500 m/s. At 290 Isp, 4.5 km/s of delta V is achieved at a propellant mass ratio of 80%. Both stages of Falcon 9 easily exceed this, so even after factoring in some thermal protection system mass & other reuse hardware, a CO fueled Mars reusable SSTO should have a payload mass ratio of at least 5%, maybe more.

Obviously methalox is going to perform better, but if generating CO turns out to be a lot faster and easier than generating CH4, Martian launch vehicle designs may gravitate towards CO fuel for economics reasons.

Carbon monoxide does not readily filter out of the air, and you'd need to do something to produce it or otherwise separate it from your source gasses. Mars' atmosphere only has twice as much carbon monoxide as it does water.

What really happened is that they simulta eously gave NASA two conflicting situations: a mandate to return to the Moon and a massive (Obama hated NASA) budget cut. NASA, being a political animal on top of a massive core of engineers who are made of can-do attitude, took one look and said "we're going to do this, but really fucking slowly". Low-rate production of items with long lead times is the functional equivalent of building a military plane (a "hangar queen" even, a la the must-be-climate-controlled B-2) from scratch with a brand new cadre of fabricators since you can't keep them continuously employed. It cost absurd amounts of money to build and maintain what they had, and that was with absolutely neglecting maintenance and repair of their infrastructure.

for me the fact its a failed earth sister twin makes it cool. Just a reminder that even if you find something roughly earf sized in some distant system and in its goldy lock zone even with planetary spin, it does not mean its actually anything close to inhabitable

On the other hand it also fuels speculation what if Venus did not get fucked up in its crib which destroyed its rotation and magnetosphere. If it had similar properties to earth and was formed from the same material could cross planet insemination be possible with asteroid bombardments. Where pieces of venus and earth periodically fly to each other with some hardcore basic life hybernating on them. While its rare enough event that the planets develop their own ecosystems separately in relative isolation while periodically having some cross overs. If it happened in this very mediocre system how likely it is that earf likes in other systems might have successful twins in the same system.

An 18 kN engine that uses storeable propellant and gets better isp. than a pressure fed system would be an interesting product for a lot of groups that don't actually design their own propulsion, and the DoD seems to like sourcing them for various projects.

all falcon heavy proved is that fuel crossfeed is a dead end.
falcon 9 was already in a position of having an uncomfortably small fairing, and increasing the payload mass without increasing the fairing severely limited it's usefulness.
new glenn is in the reverse position. huge fairing relatively light lifting capacity. it would benefit from strapping two copies of itself to the sides. not that BO would be able to pull it of on any reasonably timeframe and budget.
also tory is a coward for not strapping 8+ boosters to vulcan.

Mars has infinity CO2 everywhere and to get it you run a pump. H2O is going to be a much bigger headache to obtain. As mentioned previously, a CO/O2 powered rocket would easily be able to launch single-stage to low Mars orbit, carrying roughly 5 tonnes of payload per 100 tonnes of gross mass.

It's lower performance than methalox BUT it would be significantly less energetically expensive to produce per kilo payload delivered to orbit, and would certainly be simpler to generate, when considering the whole process of collecting feedstock thru final synthesis.

How do you intend to manage the separation of one oxygen atom from the CO2 to produce carbon monoxide? As far as I can tell the only reliable synthesis path from the available starting materials is electrolysis of the carbon dioxide and then partial combustion, but that would leave a lot of soot and CO2 and be highly inefficient.

Astra licensed the Reaver from Firefly and modified it into the Chiron engine for Rocket 4. If Rocket 4 ever flies (which is increasingly unlikely) they will eventually need kickstage propulsion or larger booster engines, so Ursa Major might get a contract out of that.

Depends on the depth of the oceans. Deep oceans on Earth tend to have shitty ecosystems cuz they're nutrient deserts. Some big undersea volcanoes on an ocean world supplying a constant stream of erupted minerals may support complex life, but otherwise I wouldn't expect much.

The real problem is that light also doesn't penetrate the ice. People imagine Europa's ocean as some light and cheerful place but it's the darkest black you've ever imagined, with either solid ice or hard vacuum on top, and a long way down if you sink. No fucking thanks.

Europa's surface ice being baked by radiation has a side effect: oxygen is continuously produced and trapped within the ice crystals. If Europa's ice is convecting (as it seems to be), its subsurface ocean should be oxygen rich. In fact the O2 production rate would support complex multicellular life akin to deep sea organisms here on Earth.

Can we all agree that another autist war of real thread vs fake thread would be awful and to just smoothly transition over to the early staged thread once this one hits page 10? The edition on the early thread is fine and this one was horrible so there was some justification in early staging, though he should've just waited.

There's no way anything can survive asteroid collision so hard it sends something flying at escape velocity. The thermal shock and Gs alone would vaporize any cells.
Then you would need to survive hard vacuum and hard cosmic radiation.
Then you would need to get insanely lucky and actually hit the other planet.
Then you would have to survive re-entry at interplanetary speed.

Life is resilient, but not that resilient.
No, not even tardigrades and archea.
