The fact that the LM-12 has such perfect overlap in capabilities with the LM-8A was a bit confusing until I realized they're built by different groups (SAST and CALT) who are probably chasing the same LEO constellation market. LM-12 should be cheaper to fly since it doesn't have boosters or a hydrogen upper stage, but CALT said they were setting up to produce 50 8As per year so they might be able to brute force their way past that with economies of scale. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out, at least before rockets like the Tianlong-3 and Zhuque-3 come along and make all of these expendable vehicles irrelevant.

The most mass launched in a year by a single country was 500 tons.
10 Starships launching 200 tons 5 times a day would be 20 times that much in one day and 4 million tons per year.

I don't think the relative cost matters that much. I think both LM-8A and LM-12 are meant to be the "conservative track" for launching China's megaconstellations - designs that are as cost-effective for GW/G60 launch as possible without being so ambitious that they are at risk of encountering delays - as part of a wider hedging strategy at the national level. LM-8A and LM-12 being CALT's and SAST's respective contributions to that purpose. Neither of these rockets are likely to have a long career, because they will be made obsolete by reusability within a few years.
I think the relative production rate of LM-8A and LM-12 will be based on whatever workshare is needed to fill up their respective factories, not based on their relative cost.
CALT should already have a lot of 3.35m and 2.25m production equipment from the hypergolics that are being phased out. WSLC already has a underutilized pad able to launch LM-7/8. It makes sense to use this for LM-8A. SAST builds LM-6, 6A, 6C and LM-5 boosters, so they can repurpose their 3.35m equipment to those.

We've already got one schizo insisting that the moon isn't real. We don't need competing delusions. Russia's made threats in the past about shooting down GPS birds with their own ground based ASAT systems, but it's dubious that they be able to hit a target two-thirds of the way to geostationary orbit. Russia also does not have any co-orbiting payloads at that altitude. If they did it'd be all over space twitter. Those autistic astronomers are about to independently track when Russia moves its assets around in geostationary orbit to snoop on other peoples' hareware. You can't have secret hidden satellites.

Youtube comments buried on TF latest vid, seems legit desu
>You're gonna love this juicy insight coming from industry people, mostly on NASA side. Musk's 40-50 tons is embellished, actual metric is 35 tons or less. The reason why performance is so far off in reality compared to claimed/promised is due to high dry weight and lower ISP which is 8-10% lower than reported performance figures. They also throttle down the engines a bit, so no wonder NASA is questioning the viability of engines. They can only bring some limited improvements by extending the stages with versions 2 and 3 and adding several hundred tons of fuel, but nothing near 100 tons let alone more than that, rocket equation is a harsh mistress. There is no expendable plan whatsoever, they can’t afford to expend them due to lack of engine production.
>The engines have a built in design flaw that causes water ice to build up in LOX tank which then clogs inlet lines and causes cascading engine failure on relight, this is why the booster keeps exploding. The engine flaw was introduced with Raptor 2 as the parts they deemed "obsolete" or "low value" that got deleted from Raptor 1 involved a standard heat exchanger that wouldn't result in water being produced from preburner combustion and getting frozen once reaching the LOX tank like it is the case with 2, it would only result in gaseous oxygen being put back into the tank as part of the autogenous pressurization. Best part is no part as they say. They're trying to fix this by adding more strainers, but doesn't seem to be working as it only got past boostback before failing again last time. The boostback burn was also off nominal and off course.

>Their HLS interior is almost completely empty with a few bunks on the side and straps for cargo. Yeah, it's bad. For this program Musk prioritized hiring fresh out of college inexperienced people and even those with no background in aerospace whatsoever, and it sure shows with all the rookie mistakes. NASA tells SpaceX it’s not gonna work and SpaceX does it anyway, they’re not listening. This thing can do nothing but eventually launch their V2 Starlinks, if they don't run out of money first, and even that will be compromised due to much lower performance in reality, which won't be good for their already money bleeding Starlink program. As it stands with this performance, it would take around 40 orbital refillings for HLS, so making things a bit better won't help much for it to not be an unworkable and unfeasible concept. It's a total dumpster fire at this point.

I found a way to stump the chemical rocket faggots of /SFG/!
Have you seen hit movie "Interstellar"? Of course you have, you are space flight enthusiasts. What is the core scientific/mathematical issue put forward in this movie and how does it apply to us in /SFG/?
>The problem of gravity
This is what I preach here on /SFG/, we can not and WILL NOT ever be a multi planet species until we solve the "problem of gravity". Which is the basic idea that when you start computing the amount of mass we must lift off the crust of the Earth to start one self sustaining colony in our solar system it's obvious chemical rockets won't work. Not for one colony and for sure not 100 colonies. So we must solve the problem of gravity and we KNOW via the rocket equation that it CAN NOT be done with chemical rockets. It's basic math, math so basic popular fiction even knows it and explains it with better skill and intelligence than you anons ever could. Sad really.
Now I'm not here to suggest we jump into a black hole to make anti gravity magic wands. I'm just pointing out the undeniable fact that everyone seems to know except the big brains of /SFG/. We will never colonize space with chemical rockets, not now and not in a thousand years. The idea of diminishing returns has been in effect for rocket flight for decades. Vanity projects like Starship show that you can't just build a bigger rocket and even if you do you're still slave to the rocket equation. The sheer insanity of people thinking a poorly designed and poorly constructed silver cock rocket is going to colonize space is astounding.
If chemical rockets can get us to space colonies why did they need to solve the problem of gravity in Interstellar?

We will never colonize space until we solve the problem of gravity. Sky-Hook does this in a way rockets never will. Not a free lunch like they get in Interstellar, not a magic anti-gravity drive but it's the best hope we have outside of fiction and you pigs can't help but ignore it. Sad.

I used to think interstellar was ridiculous garbage because he survived entering the black hole, but after finding out that it's meant to be an impossibly big black hole, I guess it makes sense that he didnt die to tidal forces. The whole tesseract thing is gay though. Interesting idea but not pulled of well. I got the impression that the mysterious humans of the future who open the worm hole (another contrived part of the film) are not seen because they all decided to enter gargantua.

This has been a thing for a while, you just don't hear about it because SpaceX advertises the theoretical max payload rather than what it actually can do as it is now.
The HALO+PPE segments of the Gateway station are the upper end of what Falcon Heavy can lift.

How realistic is a full kerolox rocket with 100+ ton to LEO? Because as of now with the limited budget of Roscosmos, focusing on what they do best which is kerolox ORSC is better than trying to create a new RD-0150 hydrolox engine.

Their smugness is backeed by what one could charitably call a multinational eembezzlement setup that funnels taxpayer mney to multinational companies foor practically zeroo return.
Ariane 5 may have been a good rockeet for the late 90s/earlly/ 2000s to GEO launch market, but they utterly failled to make something new.
Especially in the last decade they literally covered theiur eyes and ears instead of getting the fuck going on a re-usable concept.
Which is why we get Ariiane 6, a DOA concept like Antares but it doesn't even fly yet. And will only ever deliver a few national security payloads and some 'I hate Elon Muskj' launches from Jeeff Bezoos.

the cognitive effects of CO2 are by far the most important effect in my view and it's shocking that it never gets talked about in popsci. It's all muh trees muh water. Polluting the atmosphere is an obvious great filter. Rome weakened itself through giving everyone lead poisoning and we weaken ourselves through giving everyone CO2 poisoning. The outcome may be the same, and this time the poisoning will be far more permenant.

you can't fix it at this point. Even in the Elon Musk biography by walter isaacson he says they need to eventually scrap raptor and make a new engine. He also said this on X. Raptor is unworkable and has a much lower than expected ISP. Future version of starship wont even have engine shielding which means any engine failure is almost guaranteed to cascade.

Decline in IQ and rise in ADHD are part of the same problem, most people diagnosed with ADHD nowadays are just kind of retarded but the doctor doesn't want to say so. It's the result of breeding patterns and increasing ambient CO2.
Rise in autism is linked to breeding patterns too (because people with higher mutational load have higher chance of autism) but being an austist is basically a death sentence for breeding so there must be environmental factors which I don't know.

If fusion is actually ever possible then that is the obvious source of power. In fact, distant civilization would probably avoid stars because of their tendancy to kill people in flares and eventually wipe out all the planets, not to mention their deep gravity well. There are probably hundreds of Earth sized objects between us and the nearest other stars. I lean toward thinking we are the only spacefaring race in the galaxy, but its possible that there are others, and that any space faring race gets into the interstellar medium quite quickly abandoning their star, and would therefore be undetectable with current SETI. If they are like humans they would probably have some fake moralistic reason for not going to stars, claiming it's to not interfere with biospheres, but in reality just because it's a hassle.

More like take into account the actual cost of the program not just the cost of raw assembly. SLS costs 2 billion per flight because it can fly only once every two years and programatic costs are counted. Starship had 3 flights in a year and costs 2 to 4 billion per year to develop. I will be generous, we can ignore the fact its been in development since 2016 and just divide 3 billion over 3 launces.

but SLS budget is still 2 billion per year and it's not in the development phase anymore. 2 billion per year in manufacturing, at 1 flight every two years, is more like 4 billion per sls. how much does orion cost in that time to build?

You get 27% of the mass-energy immediately, from the accretion disc glow.
The other 73% becomes black hole mass, which eventually radiates away as you implied.
