The key word in there was "regens." The reason why you can't cluster RS-68s is because the ablative carbon nozzle can't take the heat load, hence, the notional regeneratively cooled RS-68s.

A damn difficult question. Beyond the inherent difficulties of low pressure environments, low gravity presents its own challenges. Weight may be down, but inertia is a constant, so everything behaves sluggishly compared to on Earth.

The three lunar rover proposals that got somewhat swept up/ignored after the starship update
https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/
>Lunar Dawn: Led by a company called Lunar Outpost, it includes principal partner Lockheed Martin and teammates General Motors, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, and MDA Space. The vehicle is being designed to not just survive but operate during the lunar night. It will also feature capabilities for robust and diverse commercial use, including a reconfigurable cargo bed that allows for the changing of payloads with a robotic arm.

The team plans to deploy the rover via the Nova-D lunar lander under development by Intuitive Machines. With its proven ability to deliver cargo to the Moon, the team plans to be able to replace tires and other components of the rover as needed over the 10-year lifespan on the Moon.

FLEX can carry two suited astronauts, accommodate a robotic arm to support science exploration, perform robotic cargo logistics, and survive the extreme temperatures at the lunar South Pole. Founded by veterans of SpaceX, Astrolab is taking a hardware-rich approach to development of its rover, with ample testing of its vehicle early and often. An initial mission to the Moon is planned for 2026.

not sure what kind of mental acrobatics you would have to do to think that, he didn't really expand upon other than saying iterative development sucks so I guess 3 failures is worse than 2 failures and that is why his opinion is dwindling? maybe

> Sierra Space Ghost Enters Flight Test Enabling Global Payload Delivery in 90 Minutes
Sierra Space, a leading commercial space-tech company and next generation defense-tech prime, building a platform in space to benefit life on Earth and protect the freedom of economic activity in the Orbital Age®, has successfully beta tested a revolutionary new logistics spacecraft, Sierra Space Ghost.
This new technology propels Sierra Space into a new era of national security space and space logistics, promising to redefine the way critical defense supplies are delivered across the globe. The Sierra Space Ghost Beta decelerator, part of the company’s recently announced Sierra Space Axelerator™ incubator, is a cutting-edge thermal protection system tailored for the safe return of small payloads from space. See video here and download photos here.
Last month, the first drop test of the Sierra Space Ghost was completed in Florida, enabling Sierra Space test engineers to fully understand the flight characteristics of the system and how recovery operations can be rapidly completed on the ground.
The ability to deliver critical supplies within 90 minutes to any location on Earth is a game-changing technology that could potentially turn the tide of a conflict. With this new technology, the warfighter on the ground could order pre-staged supplies that are waiting in an on-orbit inventory, or positioned with rapid launch capability, and deploy them down to Earth within 100 yards of where they are needed.

i'm of the mind that once HLS is finished then most of the development work on a manned mars ship is going to already be done. what's going to remain at that point is mostly going to be working on the landing/refueling infrastructure on mars and you could start serious work on that by 2030. spitballing, i'd say use the 2031 and 2033 transfer windows for testing prototype landers, land the actual refueling stuff in 2035, and then send people in 2037.

I think SpaceX is in the "figuring out the hard way" that their rocket won't work perfectly without a lot of development, they'll probably be able to start lobbing experimental starships at mars by the time HLS is working, and have boots on mars in the early 2030s (plus or minus 5 years?)
Of course there's also the risk of legislative interference if them crashing starships on mars makes regulators mad for some reason, or if people die on HLS, so there's risks that could delay it also

Well remember they also need to make those Starships easy to disassemble for parts, thats going to actually make it quite a bit different from HLS. Though to be fair for the first few years they will probably just use Starship as a hab until plans are finalized for Mars construction.

Musk said 5 years for cargo, 7-9 years
Mars launch windows in the near future are every 780 days or 26 months: 2024, 2026,2029,2031,2033,2035,2037,2039,
2024 is not happening
2026 is possible for cargo, but SpaceX will probably want to concentrate on Artemis and other LEO stuff, so they probably won't launch cargo in 2026 either even if it was theoretically possible if they concentrated on it
2029 is thus the first real opportunity for cargo missions and SpaceX is going to send multiple ships and try to land, they can send them spaced out a bit so they can iterate on the landing procedures if the first ones fail (though can't iterate on the hardware obviously)
if all of the cargo landing starships fail due to some big hardware problem, they will have to launch cargo ships again in 2031 and thus the earliest possible crew missions are pushed back (so not 7 years, but 9 years for first missions)
would be surprised if they aren't able to fix the problems by that time, its not like landing on mars hasn't been done before and spacex has a lot of experience with retropropulsive landing and should have lots of experience with re-entry at that point as well and even if re-entry into earths atmosphere isn't identical, the knowledge should help a lot with mars re-entry
so 9 years sounds pretty reasonable to me
if 2031 cargo doesn't work, then they still have 2035 which would be launch window attempt number 3 for landing cargo and still be within the 15 year window for the first human landings
at that point I think its more of a question, is Musk still on mission? That might be one of the critical factors here, not if the engineering problems can be solved with concentrated effort

However EML4/5 would work, though with more or less the same probabilities as Earth:
- the plane of the Moon orbit must be aligned with the Sun
- and you need to be at the right time of the orbit of the Moon

I think that as long as you're in the same plane as the moon and your orbit is between LEO and 2 times the altitude of the moon, eclipses can happen. If I had to guess, I would say the lower you are, the more frequent are the eclipses, but they're also shorter

it seemed like the sun needed to be basically 99% occluded before cars had to turn on their headlights, which makes me think lack of sunlight won't even start to be an issue until humans start to settle out beyond saturn orbit.

Yeah, it was pretty remarkable that the sun had to be nearly totally occluded before I could really look at it safely without the eclipse glasses. Prior to that, you wouldn't even be able to tell there was an eclipse coming without the glasses. Gives you a good impression of how powerful the sun's radiance is, and yeah, I doubt the average person would notice much of a luminance difference on Mars during the daytime compared to Earth.

its over
China and Europe have been greatly improving their satnav systems while the US has been lagging behind
China
>With 56 satellites in orbit, China’s BeiDou is now nearly twice the size of GPS. It also has over ten times as many monitoring stations, many of which are in developing nations.
>BeiDou’s larger size is a critical advantage over GPS. A Belfer Center report notes that BeiDou’s larger constellation offers greater PNT data availability and, in some cases, greater accuracy in many areas of the world.
>China also has ambitious plans to enhance BeiDou’s accuracy, security and reliability even further, in part by launching LEO constellations and better sensors.
>The primary concern is that in supplanting GPS’s position as the dominant global satnav service, BeiDou will erode America’s political and economic influence in key regions. Establishing GNSS dominance will consolidate China’s hold on global infrastructure, creating new and stronger dependencies on Chinese technologies, infrastructure, services and diplomacy in various regions. As [BeiDou becomes more dominant] within a country’s infrastructure and economy, China’s influence will increase at the expense of U.S. influence.
Europe
>The U.S. is currently replacing 1990s-era GPS satellites with GPS 3 satellites, [but GPS 3 is a decade behind]. Originally intended to launch in 2014, these satellites [are a small upgrade over] GPS 2, [e.g. 1-3 meter better accuracy], which is worse than Galileo. GPS 3F, which is expected to provide additional capabilities, could take until the mid-2030s to be completed.
Commercial
>While the U.S. does have a growing number of commercial partners with LEO communications satellites in orbit, which could become effective GPS alternatives, there are decided disadvantages to relying on for-profit instead of public GPS — the most important of which is cost.

Smart thing to do would be to send orbital infrastructure in 2026 and have some empty starships attempt virtual landings for data collection as a secondary mission. Then next cycle cargo ships have a high probability of success.

Thats because its not space you fucking moron its just the upper atmosphere. And theres a difference in how planes vs satellites are constructed, this satellite is undergoing far less stress but is also built to withstand far less therefore it looks like a plane which undergoes more stress but is built to handle more. Also in orbit theres much less you can dissipate energy from air resistance into so that might be some function of it to absorb the energy by rocking slightly.

Vibrations from extending the solar panel set up oscillations. No air to damp them so they take a long time to settle down. Notice how regular it is.

as long as it takes, but assuming it takes more than two attempts just seems ridiculous to me
completely failing during the first launch window (all of the spaced out cargo ships failing) would be surprising
they could send like 20 of them and just space them out every few days to arrive, so they have time to analyze the data somewhat for the next cargo ship
