Space Elevator is an impossible task, can't be done, never going to happen. HOWEVER, Sky Hook takes all the good of the Space Elevator and eliminates all the logistical and engineering issues to give you Space Elevator levels of cargo hauling at low costs with none of the down sides of a base station on the crust of the Earth.
>>16143190
This is ALSO NOT A SKY HOOK...it's an Orbital Ring. A great idea but we would need Sky Hook to lift enough mass to build an Orbital Ring. The Sky Hook is the gateway to all other space projects and all human space exploration. It's a simply math equation called THE TYRANNY OF THE ROCKET EQUATION and you people need to stop the cap.

Please explain why, what's wrong with Sky-Hook? what engineering or physics issues do you have with any of my proposals? How is launching chemical rockets sane when simple math tells us it's never going to do more than lift a we satellites into orbit? At this rate it'll be 2050 before a single ship with 4 people orbits Mars and returns home. Chemical rockets are a dead end and anyone with a brain knows it. Instead of admitting this you all point fingers and call anyone who speaks truth crazy or a "Space Skeptic". Humanity peaked in the 20th century, this is the slow decline into darkness.

Yes, it's dumb to have the skyhook at sea level but that doesn't make it not a skyhook. It doesn't really matter though because skyhooks are stupid and don't have a place in serious spaceflight discussions. The only places they're popular are in things like anime where they can be used for cool visual set pieces.

So you have no science or logical issues with Sky-Hook you just hate me and my ideas because????
You see folks, this happens EVERY TIME. No one can give me one reason Sky-Hook is a bad idea, no one can refute ANY of my points against chemical rockets, never. It's just cry baby faggots who refuse to debate or engage in anything that's not their specific brand of Elon Musk cock sucking.
Like I ALWAYS say. Find out the weight of the USS Enterprise 1701-D and then divide it by the cargo capacity of Musk's Starship. Even if his cock rocket worked perfectly, and it won't, it's impossible to make one starship with all the Space X launches ever. Can't be done. If you can't build a ship to house and feed and keep safe 150-300 people over 3-6 months in space then you can't colonize a planet. It drives me insane how blind and easy to fool you hairless apes are.
>>16143256
Space Planes are part of my Sky-Hook plane. The space plane meets the hook at 100,000 feet to transfer cargo. Flips the tyranny of the rocket equation on it's head. Total reversal of logistics. But that's bad .... for some reason.

Please explain with science why the sky hook will not work. You can't, no one ever does. They simply wave their hands and say
>skyhooks are stupid and don't have a place in serious spaceflight discussions
But you need to tell me why. I explain in multiple ways why chemical rockets have no place in serious spaceflight discussions. Here it is again in case you missed it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiol
This was published in 1903 or roughly 123 years ago. So it's been known since before you were born. Explain how you will lift one USS Enterprise 1701-D worth of mass into orbit with chemical rockets? If you can't lift that much mass you can't colonize space and chemical rockets can not do this. It's math and physics, you can't argue against math it just is anon.

Different Anon here: a momentum exchange tether has quite a lot of moving parts to any given orbital insertion, and requires a large and heavy piece of space infrastructure, and you need a rocket to reboost the thing to regain the momentum it spent putting the space plane or other payload into orbit in the first place. The Skyhook ends up being a middle-man for the act of putting things into space that you still have to pay off in the end, so why even bother?

I understand how Newtonian physics works, opposite and equal reactions. While I thank you for a valid response it is very basic and you people think I just pulled this out of my ass, I didn't. I've done research and read all the papers of people smarter than I who also did the research. There is no free lunch in physics thus there is no free lifting of mass off the Earth. We MUST get that power from somewhere...but if not chemical rockets than where? From space silly! By divesting sky hook from Earth's atmosphere and to some degree it's gravitational pull we now get to work with different variables to get energy. We can take solar energy gathered in space to power electic engines to push the station back into orbit. We can use light sails on the station and Earth based lasers to push the sails up, make the lasers nuclear powered too. There is a current project to build a space elevator but on the Lunar surface as The Moon solves the issues space elevator has on Earth, no atmosphere and less gravity makes it work like a charm on the moon. Here is the real gold anon, if we have tie the sky hook into space infrastructure tethers that go all the way from Earth orbit to the moon...well now we can us the mass of the moon to keep our sky hook in orbit and all that mass we lift off Earth is given the energy to do so by the Moon itself....please note the Moon has limitless ability to do this. I didn't invent this, PhD's did. Look it up.

Like any escape plan we are limited to what we can grab and find. That leaves us with few options and basically one source of energy, chemical combustion based fuels. We must take these heavy fuels with us as we fight gravity to escape out Earthly prison. However we must bend the knee to the Thranny of the Rocket Equation meaning we can only every take a small percentage of payload for a very large amount of fuel. Lets say on the best of days we spend 90% of our launch mass in fuel and end up with a tiny payload into orbit.
But how do we fix this with Sky-Hook? Simple. We get our energy from space and now we don't have to haul it up against the pull of Earth's gravity. Where the energy comes from, space vs on Earth, makes a huge difference in the equation. Like I said in another post, the Moon's mass can eventually be tied to the sky hook system and the mass of the Moon will be the energy the system uses to lift mass out of the gravity well.

Now divide that 950 by launch windows and factor in delays for weather and failures. It's more like 1200 launches. One launch a day would still be how many years of starship launches to build one starship to explore space?

The sky hook system generates lift via eletric engines powered by solar or you can shoot lasers from Earth to power the station via the light energy or capture via a light sail to push the station higher into orbit as it lifts mass off the surface. Once the system is tied into the tether to the Luna Elevator it will use the mass of the Moon to lift. Yes this will take a long time but the tether from Sky-Hook to the Luna elevator will have central stations at the Lagrange points to allow easy access to the Sol system and eliminate the need for complicated transfer windows we must use when launching chemical rockets from Earth's crust.
Like I state here >>16143301 the key is that we are getting our energy to lift from space based sources and don't need to lift chemicals into space, this flips the whole situation upside down.

Unironically, using a high specific impulse engine to reboost the thing with deliveries of argon isn't the worst idea but I have no idea how the thing's supposed to stay dynamically stable during reboost, and the flight rate's going to be restrained to whatever time it takes to regain the lost momentum in the skyhook, and the higher the specific impulse gets, the longer it inevitably takes. How do you keep it dynamically stable during reboost, and how long does it actually take to replenish?

What do you mean? Ion engines generate ions with electricity and these are funneled and made to produce thrust. Have you never heard of this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_t
Power is generated via solar panels or lasers on Earth shot into space to special collectors that convert it back to electricity. This electricity powers the ion engine. It's likely the ion engine alone wouldn't be enough so things like the light sails pushed by Earth based lasers seems more viable. Lasers pushing things unironically is over powered, lots of possibilities.

Look at that huge communications dish on the center of the ship here >>16143322
. That alone would take like 4-8 Starship launches. It won't fit in the cargo hold as a single dish and that's like 4% of the ship in the picture. I'm sure it would take 30-50 launches to get one of those segments of the ship. The entire thing would be 600-1000 launches. Don't forget you need to launch the crew too. Even if you use low averages for adults weights it's a lot of mass in human flesh alone. What about the food and water you have to haul into space? You'll need so much more mass than just the basic displacement of the ship. That's what I'm trying to explain is you can't lift the people, parts, and ship with chemical rockets. It's mathematically impossible.

Thank you for a valid criticism. I assumed ion engines work in space without any need to refuel. I will look into this and see what I can find out. But like I said on the best of days ion thrusters are very weak and we want to lift a lot of mass into space. We need to equal thrust to counteract the mass we seek to lift. So that's why I started looking into lasers pushing light sails. Like I keep saying the issue is energy and getting it from the crust into orbit. Elon seeks to lift chemical into orbit via brute force, I'm advocating we use weightless light to transfer the energy to orbit instead. But I'm a schizo, ignore me KEK.

Sky Hook is in orbit, it lifts mass off the Earth's surface, this takes energy out of the system, now sky hook is in a lower orbit, eventuially sky hook will lift enough mass and lose enough energy that it deorbits and burns up. We stop this from happening by generating thrust via energy while in orbit. Now instead of falling down as we lift mass we stay in the same place. We seek to thrust upwards with equal force as the mass exerts to pull us down. This is simple physics first described by Sir Issac Newton.

There is no funding for space unless it's useful for military conquest. Space X mostly launches DoD payloads and look at Starlink, currently being used by both sides in the Ukraine war to kill each other with FPV drones. Humans are disgusting hairless apes who care more about porn and killing than real science and exploration. The Saturn rockets were just a by product of the Minuteman missile program. They only had a Moon mission because they needed ICMBs to kill Russians.

Hey limp dick I know this might blow your mind but I literally read and watched everything about the sky hook and adjacent projects. I watched all the videos and read all the reports. NASA did extensive research into space planes decades ago. A lot of this stuff is old science that got put on a shelf because it wasn't useful for military applications. There is no money for space exploration, not even Space X. They get all their money from government contracts.

Link to the article about NASA's new ion thruster getting sent to the moon next year.
https://www.universetoday.com/16407
I'll admit I need to brush up on electric propulsion but from what i've read so far it seems the ion engines can take years to burn through the fuel due to the hyper efficent nature of the engine. I might actually do some math and see how NASA's new engine fits in with the sky hook but like I said I want to live endless mass off Earth so I need A LOT OF THRUST to counteract this. Doubtful even the new ion thrusters can do it alone but there is no need for them to work alone. But even if we say the ion engines need refueled with gas once a year we just send new gas up in a space plane or even an old stinky rocket. It's trivial to refuel the sky hook yearly from Earth. It looks like ion thrusters would be viable and would be easy to refuel. So there the one tiny crack you found is filled already.
So here we are, 100+ posts later, lots of limp dicks breathing hard and throwing around insults but not a single valid point of rebuttal. Now ask yourself why you hate this idea so much? Because you didn't think of it first? Because the TV machine didn't instruct you to like it? It works, you can't deny it, and it's the only solution to the issue.
I'm going to bed, but remember faggots. I'm literally always lurking in this fucking sub and you avoid my wrath because I will it and nothing more. Cower in fear plebs, your cock rockets won't save you.

It's technically feasible, but ultimately a waste of resources unless you're hauling truly gargantuan amounts of mass not only into orbit, but from orbit as well (these must always be matched), which is why I don't believe they'll ever be built. If you do need that amount of upmass, mass drivers or even space elevators will give you the same but better.
We've also gone over why near term interplanetary trade is economically infeasible, which is why the need for sustained upmass like that isn't needed.

It's untested and would require significant time, money, labor and other resources to test, develop and commercialize.
There's no reason to believe it would be profitable even after all that. Launch prices are currently falling rapidly and capacity is increasing even more rapidly, which makes this the worst possible time to try it.
Supposing all those issues were resolved overnight, what would use it? You still have to design a gay suborbital spaceplane that can use it. Not only does that not exist, no one is even planning to build one. There's not even a plausible use case for one, other than "I want to play Star Wars IRL."

the fact is he complied with the reasonable order - not law! - that footage of a stabbing be blocked in australia.
the problem is that he stood his ground when they further demanded he block it across the whole world. the government is trying hard to obscure that fact, but the fact is that an unelected american is using the office of the "esaftey commission" to attempt to censor the global internet on behalf of the australian government. this is fucking ridiculous, can you imagine if china, india, russia or the saudis demanded that facebook remove all footage of a protest in their country? actually, it would be more accurate to say imagine if brazil demanded an american company removed footage of some random favela shooting, because australia doesnt even have the power to muscle around. its a retarded request with no president. albo knows it and is relying on the australian reflexive dislike of foreigners who break australian rules.

Something stinks in arianespace. More than usual, I mean: In their latest hot firing test of the upper stage it turns out they never actually started the engine, only 'put the APU through its paces'. Not only that, but there isn't any mention of any kind of test during the period in the official Ariane 6 progress updates. It was scheduled, but then isn't mentioned again. Even worse, it seems like there was some kind of anomaly in another test last year that they haven't found the root cause of yet.

Sci fi spaceships are very quickly going to seem quaint.
Pic related is a table I made a year ago on what it would look like for Starship to launch 150 tonnes per day, with a new starship added every month. Given these assumptions, the upmass is ridiculously large. After 3 launches, the mass of the ISS can be in orbit. After a year, the mass of the Donnager. After 3.5 years, the total mass of the US Navy.
If you have a specific criticism of why starship won't work, I would love to hear it. Even if these assumptions are too rosy (upmass is less, or its reuse cadence is slower), it will still revolutionize space.

>>Like I ALWAYS say. Find out the weight of the USS Enterprise 1701-D and then divide it by the cargo capacity of Musk's Starship. Even if his cock rocket worked perfectly, and it won't, it's impossible to make one starship with all the Space X launches ever. Can't be done. If you can't build a ship to house and feed and keep safe 150-300 people over 3-6 months in space then you can't colonize a planet. It drives me insane how blind and easy to fool you hairless apes are.

Yeah, I have USS Enterprise 1701-D in my calcs. It's 190,000 tonnes, and if Starship can lift 150 tonnes, that's 1267 launches. With the 1/day cadence, and 1 new starship added monthly, that will be only 8 months after Starship gets online.

It's a simplified prediction describing an optimal scenario, but it's also not wrong, per se. Once Starship does start hitting its stride it is capable of putting truly stupid amounts of mass into orbit. The one potentially misleading thing about this is that until we get major off-world fuel production operations running most of starship's lifted payload is going to be propellant instead of physical hardware. Even if we were using Starship for something as local building up geostationary solar arrays we'd still need to be launching more gas than we were package.

Oh, it will work alright. What won't work is any economic justification for establishing a Mars colony, nor any economic model for sustaining one. How do the Martians participate in Earth's economy to pay for even cheap shipment of goods to Mars? How do they pay for all the R&D to even create their Mars colony habitats/etc in the first place? It's not going to get done.
Mars colonies aren't happening but Starship IS HAPPENING, so logically the true purpose of Starship must be something other than colonization. Something that could make SpaceX a lot of money, something that requires an absurd amount of mass in LEO...

"On April 24, the UN Security Council did not accept the amendment of Russia and China to the resolution of the United States and Japan on the non-deployment of nuclear weapons in outer space. Moscow and Beijing insisted that the document should include a ban on all types of weapons"
So basically US and satellites want to put weapons into orbit while Russia want space to be free of weapons and have cooperation of humans

The lie is that someone made Russia abrogate its signed treaties. Russia always chooses to do things first to try and seek an advantage for the lowest possible cost and consequence and uses subterfuge and deceit to try and say whatever they're doing is justified once it stops being convenient to deny everything they've done. They've done this for violations of ballistic missile treaties and nuclear weapons alike. Trusting Russia to uphold anything it signs or does is a mistake, and as always, Russians will start cackling, claiming "Russia Stronk" as if their insufferable douchebaggery is a sign of power and prowess rather than as evidence for why not nuking the entire country into a tomb while America had a monopoly on nuclear weapons was a mistake.

That's a fairly reasonable worry. Falcon 9's had a nearly uncontested decade to set itself up as a launch hegemon, but the Chinese market is going to see multiple reusable vehicles coming online and fighting for marketshare inside of a year or two. My worry is that by going with a more conservative medium-class rocket they'll get outperformed by other launchers that went for EELV-class capabilities right from the start.

Yeah, the stated payload mass fraction to 500km SSO is 1.4%, compared to 2.4% for TL-3.
If they're cobbling together a rocket using parts and tools that are easily available off-the-shelf, maybe they are a bit limited in what they can do
In any case, even if it was better, I still don't really see the business case for yet another rocket in China at this point. There are already so many. Maybe they've decided to take their chances anyway just because the cost-of-entry to the industry is low, or maybe because Henan province wants to see its space industry expand and offers subsidies

My guess would be that it's more fad-chasing than anything else. SpaceX made space launch a cool proposition that could theoretically lead to massive commercial success, so a lot of people decided to ignore the lessons SpaceX learned with the Falcon 1 and make a clone of that their primary business model. Now we've got a nice graveyard filled with former smallsat launch providers. China might be having a similar situation with medium-life vehicles. Too many groups come in with a product that doesn't really match the needs of the market and end up crashing as a result.
I think there's going to be room for two or maybe three RLV's in China. None of them are going to prosper the way the Falcon did, but the competition is going to give Chinese payload producers some of the lowest $/kg rates in the world.

>I think there's going to be room for two or maybe three RLV's in China
I think there's going to be room for a lot more than that. Just GW and G60 are 26,000 satellites that need to be launched before 2035/2037 to meet ITU Resolution 35 deadlines, and they'd probably launch a third constellation if they thought they had the capacity to do it in time. There will likely be all kinds of very large EO constellations using tech similar to Minospace's stackable 230kg SAR satellite. Those could easily amount to several tens of thousands. The commercial value is good, the military value is even greater.
CZ-10A is an RLV that's probably going to be dedicated to the manned space program (because its payload mass fraction is poor). CZ-9 is an RLV that's now apparently going to be dedicated to high-energy missions and super-large object lifting, and won't partake in the regular LEO trucking business. Those alone are two RLVs that won't be competing directly with the others.
CASC and CASIC are each developing a methalox F9 clone. Those are two RLVs that won't be allowed to dominate the launch market and kill off the commercial competition that the government wants to foster. Long term, they'll probably be restricted to secretive government payloads.
I think the Chinese government probably wants to have at least 5 different commercial launch providers, in order to have cut-throat competition and have room to let companies to fail. So I think that, for the foreseeable future, they will make sure to divvy up government contracts accordingly.
>it's more fad-chasing than anything else
Fad-chasing might be an explanation. Still, they'd need to also convince someone else to cough up the investment money for it; they don't seem to be a large company. Although it might be relatively easy to find the money if they're using off-the-shelf solutions; they don't need a lot of money for that

You want poor indentured slavery on Mars? Poor people should not be subject to Mars. Only the rich must be allowed to go to Mars, to protect the chi-I mean the poor.

honestly this looks like a modest, basic moon landing program. no messing about refueling, unproven rockets, starships, and how much do you think LM10 will cost compared to SLS per launch?

Most retards on this site do not comprehend to content of this post.
They believe that "the rich" hoard all of their money in one big pile locked up in some bank in Switzerland.
They actually think "taxing the rich" will make the rich poorer, while they (and the poor) get richer.
Why must the average person be this retarded? What did we do to deserve them being such a plague upon this board?

yeah but artemis is saddled with a crew launcher that can't fly more than once a year by design. if we get in a situation where china's landing 3+ times a year that may be the quickest path to killing SLS so i'm not entirely displeased with the situation.

Why do you think I believe any of that?
I think that the 1% going from owning 17% of the economy in 1990 to owning 26% now is bad.
I don't want to make them poor, I don't even want to stop them increasing their wealth I just think 3% of the economy going to them every decade isn't sustainable.

Well everyone here seems to understand the boomers had a much better economy that us so lets revert from our neoliberal economic policy to the liberal economic policy of the 50s.
Things like a 50% corporate tax rate, major government projects that pay well, higher capital gains tax.
Crash the housing market by banning corporate home ownership and limiting residential property ownership to 5 per person.
There is plenty that has worked in the past, we don't need to try anything new, just tell political donors to get fucked and start serving the people again.

youre looking at it back to front. they are effectively making their share of the economy (and thus the whole economy) bigger every decade. it isnt "going to them", they are making it from scratch.

The standard of living for the lower classes is markedly and measurably decreasing. Even if they are producing to create that growth, it is demonstrably happening in contravention to the state of everyone else at minimum. Given the abundance of Rent Seeking behavior and increasing prices of essential goods and services above and beyond inflation, their growth in wealth is probably directly at the expense of the well-being of the lower classes.

What do you think is a good upper limit? Will it be a problem when 60% of the economy is owned by 1%? Maybe 90%? Or will it not be a problem even when they own 120% (possible because "they are growing the economy").

That's a very nice plan which relies upon very sketchy preconditions.
Wresting representatives off of the teat of political donors is far from trivial. I'd say it's basically impossible, actually.

The hard part is to do it legally they have to vote to make political donations illegal which isn't in their best interests.
There have been other methods used to replace government structures.

That's why China will land before America, and it will be seen as a giant geopolitical coup by normies who don't understand the nuances in the archietectures.
An overwhelming majority alive today in the turd worldist alliance think America faked the original moon landings. Once the chinks beat America to the moon late 20's it will become a key point of turd world historical canon that China landed on the moon first. It will probably be the prevailing opinion among MIGAtards assuming they dont't become more resistant to disinfo
