Fission doesn't need laser-inertial confinement, you just bang roggs together. I guess the closest would be a Nuclear Lightbulb / Closed Cycle Gas Core NTR where a gas core reactor is physically contained by a giant quartz crystal that transfers heat and UV+xrays to the LH2 on the outside.

>>16073333
Well that's my point though, by using inertial confinement. You could get an extremely powerful gas core like fission propulsion system without requiring all of the wacky batshit crazy engineering to keep them from exploding constantly. You would remove the constraints of having to worry about the walls melting or flushing out unused uranium. And unlike fusion ICF, you don't need massive fuck off lasers to do the near impossible (nuclear fusion), you can probably really easily achieve nuclear fission with some basic lasers and a basic setup fuel pellet.
So now you get an ICF fission reactor that can achieve ISP's in the 10,000's of seconds and thrust levels in the 1,000,000's of newtons all without worrying about the reactor itself exploding because there is no reactor. Just a pretty capable torch drive based on basic bitch fission.

Anonymous at Thu, 14 Mar 2024 10:10:22 UTC No. 16073887
SpaceX's Starship test 3 aims to push the boundaries of the super heavy launch vehicle in several ways. Here are the key objectives:
Successful burns of both stages: This is a core goal, ensuring both the Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage fire their engines effectively during ascent.
Testing Starship's functionalities: This includes opening and closing the payload door, a critical function for future cargo and crew missions.
In-space propellant transfer: Demonstrating the ability to transfer fuel between tanks while in space is crucial for Starship's reusability and missions requiring long durations in orbit.
First ever Raptor engine relight in space: Relighting engines in space allows for maneuvers and course corrections, a vital capability for future missions.
Controlled reentry and splashdown: Starship needs to safely reenter the atmosphere and achieve a controlled ocean landing.
This test flight also features a new trajectory with a splashdown target in the Indian Ocean. This path allows SpaceX to attempt new maneuvers like in-space engine burns while maintaining public safety.
Overall, this mission is a significant step in developing Starship's capabilities for future space exploration, including NASA's Artemis missions.

It seems absurd at a glance but I think it's actually not as crazy as it sounds. They can do precise landings already with Falcon, and that's with needing to do hoverslams. Superheavy and Starship can hover and have finer control over their thrust.

I have a feeling it's issues with the fuel intake again. The fuel being sloshed around and pushed up when the booster is falling is causing the engines to not relight. Maybe an issue that they couldn't fix on this booster because it was already assembled

bro they aren't even going to orbit this time, they're intentionally going to 250x50km orbit (which is suborbital) and then doing a boostback to 250x-100km or so, which is enough juice to end up in orbit if they did it in the other direction but won't leave them up there as a hazard if it doesn't work

Starship's planned reentry profile doesn't work even from easy suborbital reentry. This ship is supposed to return from the moon. They need to redesign the entire vehicle to increase its drag through upper atmosphere. This is very serious.

Ship 29 is on a test stand and had three cryo tests before, they need to static fire it as well as a booster, then stack and wet dress rehearsal. Ship 26 had a static fire but it has no flaps or heat shield so on one knows what its for, probably not a flight article.
If they went at absolute max speed I'm guessing they could do a month, realistically I'd say 2-3. It was 4 since the last flight.

Surprisingly that orientation may be nominal. In simulations, the curvature of the nosecone generates lift in that direction, so it needs to turn down relative to the airstream to prevent the ship from skipping out of the atmosphere.

when you're above 70km control surfaces can be sufficient to maintain attitude when you're already stable, but they definitely can't arrest you out of a spin. source: many failed attempts at landing spaceplanes in RSS/RO.

nose down is never going to be necessary to prevent skipping. a 90-degree roll will give you zero vertical lift force. faget's straight-wing shuttle had very similar reentry characteristics to starship and it never would have needed more than 80 degrees roll to prevent skipping.

We should savor these test flights while we still can. Years from now when Starship launches become at least as boring and routine as Falcon, we'll look back at this period of its development and miss the excitement.

It may be off nominal, since the ship never really had attitude control in flight, but the ship was dumping gas and the flight controllers operate in real time to try and control their vehicles to whatever their target destination is, so it's hard to be sure one way or another.

would it be risky for them to put some starlink sats for the next launch?
looks like getting past the fucking orbit is already figured out. well it's not fully expendable yet, they need to keep fuel for testing the landings.

Wasting Starlink on suborbital flights seem pointless and I guess that's going to be the next mission profile too, because attitude control failed and they didn't perform an in-orbit startup. Maybe they will go a bit further, to Hawaii.
I think it would be better to put a mass simulator there to test the dispenser.

That's exactly what you need for a mars mission. Even if you use an oldspace architecture it'll just require 20 SLS launches (ie 20 years) instead of 20 starship launches (a few months once its operational)

The thrust to weight ratio of a near empty booster is extremely high compared to a full starship.
The 3 center engines already have to deeply throttle to let Ship launch off of it without knocking the booster to oblivion
To keep all 13 center engines lit at their minimum throttle means Ship couldn't separate

They probably have to demonstrate raptor relight before they can go orbital, so next flight is almost certainly suborbital again. That said, the obvious goals are successful soft landing of both booster and ship*. Outside of those, we'll probably see more prop transfer and door operations. I'm thinking they'll probably go for a test of their slarlink pez dispenser hardware with a few V2 mockups.
*I wouldn't be suprised to see a long interval before IFT 4 while they redesign aspects of the booster and ship

It seems it's not aerodynamically stable at all and relies completely on active control, so if one fin motor dies for example then it's fucked during reentry. I wonder if the new version with offset nose flaps will be better in this regard.

Why do people obsess so much over whether Starship test flights can be categorized as "success" or "failure"? What does that even mean in this context? They are development test flights. Imo "success" and "failure" are only meaningful terms for certification test flights or operational flights.

Well done, USA. SpaceX is making history and reinvigorating interest in space. At this point, they should just cancel SLS.
