Upper stage reentry and landing is 100% necessary for the Mars thing so I doubt they will give up. It's clear that this vehicle will never visit Mars, so maybe they will give up on this one, but they always talk about how there will be an 18m width vehicle in the future. I think that will be capable of the 150t fully reusable thing, but it probably wont have reusable launch pads.

Been reading up on RTGs and after looking into thermoelectric generators without the radioisotope component makes me wonder, would it be practical to use the Seebeck effect to take excess heat from spacecraft and space stations and use that to simultaneously generate power while cooling the craft?
Since most spacecraft seem to be more focused on dispelling excess heat that is generated rather than having to generate heat on their own to stay warm. Obviously it wouldn't do much at the scale of current spacecraft, but it could be scaled for inhabited megastructures that could struggle with radiating heat fast enough to stay comfortable. This is assuming that the efficiency of thermoelectric generators improves in the near future.

The men who die in war are just considered more disposable because they aren't highly-educated, trained, and healthy. Instead they're just healthy (most of the time). Although many astronauts, especially during the first years of spaceflight, were military men.
In general most men are considered disposable, especially those of lower status due to lack of education, physical attractiveness, or socioeconomic strata. It's why no one cares if a middle-age man kills himself but a young woman committing suicide is a tragedy that makes local or even national news.

What is the vapid point you're trying to make? Do you think soldiers just get sacrificed and that leaders and fellow soldiers don't do everything they can to keep that from happening? The nature of conflict necessitates risk. There really isn't such a thing as a "safe way" to attacking an enemy machinegun position anon. But soldiers and armies don't go out of their way to just get killed with no regard to safety. But war given its nature, demands sacrifice. It's almost as if that's an instinctual virtue or something.

Word salad and missing the point.
I didnt say people go out of their way to get killed in war buddy. The fact is no-one cares when they get killed, but if several thousand people died in spaceflight everyone would lose their minds.
14 people died on shuttle so it was viewed as a travesty and they cancelled the program. If 14 people died in a war do you think politicians get together to cancel the invasion? No. And your pseud stuff about risk or whatever is redundant because it all applies to space.

yes it's much safer. read casualty reports from basically any war. check the portion of wounded to killed, the number dead from disease, and the portion of dead to mobilized, as well as the health outcomes from specific injuries, notably burns and limb damage. and civilians are far and away the safest they've been in recorded history

you are genuinely fucking retarded for wondering why people die in war. they die because killing people is literally how one wages war. killing is war and war is killing. one cannot wage war without killing, on BOTH SIDES. since you're both trying to heckin unalive each other, youre gonna get corpses. in spaceflight killing people is unnecessary. it's a contest between man and nature. In war it's a contest between man and man to see who is to goodest at killing

A much better question is:
âwhy do we accept death as a ânecessityâ in war, but ânot an optionâ in human spaceflight?â
Personally I think itâs because youâre mobilizing hundreds, thousands, sometimes millions to front lines of an enemy trying to kill you. But in spaceflight, itâs been a mere 60 years of sending up one at a time, two at a time, seven at a time max. Every individual is way more personal and special and worth trying to keep alive. If we ever commit hundreds, thousands, millions out into LEO, the Moon, and Mars then dying off Earth will become way more of an âinevitableâ thing as it is just probabilistically going to happen, like car crash fatalities or passenger plane crashes.

>read casualty reports from basically any war. check the portion of wounded to killed
Modern militaries have extremely high combat personnel to non combat personnel ratios due to the mechanization of modern militaries. The bulk of an armored division (60-70%+) would be comprised of non combat personnel. hence the skewing of data. It should also be noted here that casualty reports from low intensity conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan don't contain casualties from either host nation forces, private military contractors and police forces, who took the brunt of enemy action during said conflicts.
>the number dead from disease
Vietnam was the last war where US forces were exposed to the elements for long periods of time and weren't mostly operating out of combat outposts, and you still had high numbers of casualties due to disease.
I can't see how you can think war is "safer" now. Everything is more lethal.

If the orbiter and boosters were fully and rapidly reusable then using a drop tank was an amazing decision.
Think about it, it would have been like the falcon 9 but better. Instead of spending an entire stage with all its avionics and engine every flight, you just spend a drop tank, which would be very cheap in a mass manufacture situation and would also have plenty of margin to be used as orbital fuel depots for deep space missions if the Shuttle wasn't nerfed.

Yes. Risk aversion was the main problem, which led to low cadence. Cadence was ramping up before Challenger, then cadence never recovered and a whole host of Shuttle capabilities like carrying cryogen deep space stages were scrapped forever due to safety.
SRBs were retarded because the fuel is the most expensive and complex part so it makes no sense to reuse them, they basically added a very high lower bound on launch cost, which was the cost of two gigantic missiles. The tech wasnt ready at the time, but if NASA had droneship recovered boosters they would have been over half way to solving the Shuttle.
There were a whole load of things with the Orbiter which turned out to not be reusable, or at least not without extensive repair every flight. Maybe they could have been fixed if rapid iteration was allowed, but I fear Starship is going the same way, despite all the prototyping.

It's impossible for it to work with any of those present factors.
It's worse when considering the frankly already bad payload for a vehicle it's size. Falcon 9 added more heat shielding on block 5 which is why there are black areas. Block 4 was recoverable but not reusable due to thermal ware on the vehicle. Inevitably this will happen to Starship, and the performance will get worse. They also need a total redesign of Raptor. Musk said it many times and it's true. Present raptor dumps water into the tanks which then freezes to ice and clogs the engine inlets. It was responsible for the IFT2 and 3 RUDs. And clearly tanks which get filled with water ice are not rapidly reusable.

is there a goldilocks zone for gravity wells? apart from the obvious requirements for us as humans. supposing we have advanced enough tech (genetic engineering/synthetic bodies whatever) and no energy issues, what is "the best" gravity well to be in? more than Earth? less?

If we lived inside a nebula would scientists actually think the aether exists like they did in olden times?

There's a theory of social catastrophe along Malthusian lines that predicts war or something involving similar violent loss of life when the number of young, unmarried males rises too high in a population.
From that perspective war is an unfortunate but necessary correction, because those who die in the largest numbers are young males and their death corrects the gender imbalance.

Truly necessary, sure, but it's been said that graveyards are full of necessary people; if they really are truly necessary then training up a replacement ought to be priority zero just in case they get hit by a bus or something. And you can't really have a functioning organisation without trustworthy people. Excellence does seem to at least be somewhat implied by necessity, though.

This is a reason why africans are notorious for violence. They fought in atomized warrior bands where the storngest survived and took the women. Europeans and Asians have lived thousands of years in agricultural societies where the state chipped away at it's warrior generations by expending them in wars, where their fertility is actually far lower than non warriors, unless they get to rape a lot when they win. Often men would even be conscripted for life into the military basically making them incels. That combined with the pruning away of violent and antisocial behaviour through wide use of the death penalty produced modern man.

I don't understand this mindset of "EVs will never replace ICE cars"
I charge at home every day and leave with a full battery. People who can't charge at home can charge at work. It's not hard to build public chargers. We did it with gas stations which are way harder to maintain. And for road trips, you have superchargers.
I think EVs work for at least 50% of the Western world's population. Worries about battery replacement, poor performance in cold weather, low range, are all leftovers from the first generation of EVs from 15 years ago and aren't relevant anymore.

Unless you're also including the electricity -> biofuel efficiency step, this isn't exactly like to like. Many things are able to substitute in electricity for fuel (e.g., most people's cars), but some things really do need fuel for either density/specific energy reasons (e.g., planes, rockets) or needing to be refuelled quickly in harsh environments (e.g., tanks). I do agree that most biofuel production is stupid and wasteful, but we're going to need _some_ either biofuel or synthetic fuels indefinitely for these uses.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

Thornburg says the company is developing a spacecraft built around the concept of solar thermal propulsion, which uses solar energy to heat propellant and produce thrust. Such engines have been studied for decades, but have never been developed for practical purposes. The company has not disclosed its propellant of choice, but Thornburg said it is storable on orbit, and not toxic like hydrazine. (It might be something like ammonia.)

ISP in the context of rocketry stands for "specific impulse," which is a measure of the efficiency of a rocket engine. It represents the amount of thrust produced per unit of propellant over time and is typically expressed in seconds. The higher the specific impulse, the more efficiently a rocket engine converts propellant into thrust.
As for "Starship," you might be referring to SpaceX's Starship spacecraft, which is designed to be a fully reusable spacecraft for missions to Mars, the Moon, and potentially other destinations in the solar system. The specific impulse of the engines used in the Starship will depend on whether you are referring to the Raptor engines meant for the Starship itself or the Super Heavy booster meant to lift it.
As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, SpaceX's Starship uses Raptor engines that are methane/liquid oxygen-powered and have a specific impulse that varies depending on whether they are in a vacuum or at sea level. For the vacuum-optimized version (Raptor Vacuum or RVac), the specific impulse is higher, possibly around 380 seconds or more. For the sea-level version, it is slightly lower, possibly around 330 seconds or more, due to atmospheric pressure affecting the engine's performance.
Please note that these figures are subject to change as SpaceX continues to develop and test the Starship and its engines. For the most current and detailed specifications, you should refer to the latest information released by SpaceX.

18m is best. 12m might be best for purely aero reasons on ascent, but a super fat starship is best. It provides the obvious advantage of a wider base so you can land on unprepared surfaces with greater tolerance and without big heavy legs. And crucially if the vehicle is going to be flying multiple times a day then being too long is a showstopper because it lowers your tolerance to high level winds so you can never do reliable on demand point to point travel.

Calling SpaceX the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time) in the space industry captures the enthusiasm many people feel about its achievements and impact. Here are a few reasons why SpaceX often receives such high praise:
>Reusability: SpaceX revolutionized space travel with its focus on reusable rockets. The Falcon 9 rocket is notable for its ability to launch, return to Earth, and be reused for multiple flights. This approach significantly reduces the cost of access to space.
>Cost Reduction: Through innovations and efficiencies, SpaceX has dramatically lowered the cost of launching payloads into space. This has made space more accessible to a broader range of customers, including smaller companies and countries.
>High Cadence of Launches: SpaceX has achieved a rapid launch cadence, setting records for the number of missions conducted per year. This operational tempo is unmatched by other commercial spaceflight companies.

Musk briefly attended the University of Pretoria before moving to Canada at age 18. He acquired Canadian citizenship through his mother.
At Queenâs University, he matriculated and later transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned bachelorâs degrees in economics and physics.
In 1995, he relocated to California to attend Stanford University, but after just two days, he dropped out to pursue ventures in Silicon Valley1.
Founding Zip2 and X.com:
Musk co-founded Zip2, an online city guide software company, which was later acquired by Compaq for $307 million in 1999.
In the same year, he co-founded X.com, a direct bank, which eventually merged with Confinity to form PayPal.
eBay acquired PayPal in October 2002 for a staggering $1.5 billion2.
SpaceX: Revolutionizing Space Exploration:
In 2002, Musk founded Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) with the audacious goal of making space travel more accessible.
As CEO and CTO, he led SpaceX to develop groundbreaking technologies, including the Falcon rockets and the Dragon spacecraft.
SpaceX achieved several milestones, such as the first privately-funded spacecraft to reach orbit and the first privately-funded spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station (ISS).

They have sufficient width in their facilities to increase diameter from 9 to 12, and the rest of the fancy hardware is just dome jigs, which they've already showing willingness to scrap and redo. The worst thing they might have to do is make the fins fold so they'd fit through the doors, and that's something they might have to do anyway because of insufficient control authority. It's entirely doable.

Oh, Starship Version 3, so big and bright,
You stood there like a boss, ready to zoom.
With engines bursting, sparks flew out of sight,
But little did you know, you'd meet your doom!
The ice, that sneaky, creepy little beast,
Crawled up inside your engines like a slug.
It had a frosty feast, to say the least,
And left you helpless, like a big, fat bug.
You coughed and sputtered, trying to break free,
But that mean ice just wouldn't let you go.
You fought so hard, but it was plain to see,
That you were stuck, like someone's stubborn toe.
And then, kaboom! You burst in blazing light,
A weird and wacky ending to your flight!

NASA should die out and only make probes anyways, if they focused on that and let Starship do its thing by removing mass autism it would be another golden age of planetary discoveries. We would get ice giant probes out the wazoo, space stations would be getting made by commercial companies for pennies on the ISS dollar, anybody would be able to pay for a microsat to hitch a ride to Saturn, ah it would be glorious.

Dynamics is fine. Its not Statics piss easy but I just took the exam and all I had go worry about was (everything is rigid body btw) IC (piss easy), principle of work & energy (slightly difficult, only slightly in determining what work is positive or negative) and Angular Momentum (piss easy). Kinetic moments is also easy. I didnt have to do rigid body impact which I suspect may have been much harder but NMP anymore

We probably have slightly different curriculums as the only thing I know will be on the test is 3D angular momentum, which is the last unit he did. My guess is that the other problems will be a Work-Energy problem (eh), System of particles problem (easy) and a Linear/Angular motion problem which can be annoying. The thing is he likes to add in random pulleys at times and its been a while since ive done those so ive been practicing.

>SpaceX is not just about launching rockets; it's also pushing ambitious projects like Starship, which aims to carry humans to Mars and other destinations in the solar system.
Probably worth noting that the last test flight of 'Starship," in which all the engines appear to have functioned properly (none of them seemed to cut out in flight) the EMPTY rocket with essentially no payload was not quite able to get to orbit.
Laying aside engine reliability (let's assume for the moment that all of them working this last time is not a fluke, they've solved the problem of engines eating themselves during a flight and otherwise being destroyed), this looks like the rocket is MASSIVELY under-powered and the engines are not fit for purpose. If you can;t make orbit with an empty ship, the massive payload goals are not going to happen with this vehicle.

They intentionally aimed for just short of orbit in case it wasn't able to fire the engines to de-orbit, then it would intersect the ocean in the middle of nowhere.
Otherwise it would be a crap shoot as to where the orbit decayed enough for re-entry.

I mean, Falcon 1 was very simple. The hardest part would be getting the materials because I bet half of their original suppliers no longer exist or don't make those particular parts anymore. The knowhow is basically all there though. Kestrel was very simple and Merlin is still in production. A new Falcon 1 would have a crazy thrust to weight off the pad with a modern Merlin

It was moving at orbital velocity but not on an orbital trajectory. This was a sensible precaution since Starship's control systems hadn't actually been tested in space yet and no one wants something the size of Starship deciding to cosplay as a Long March 5B core stage. Given how Starship went into a slow spin that that couldn't be corrected for this trajectory was the correct choice.

of course. Every part has been tested to death. If it actually explodes then that would be a catastrophe for BO. Only reason Starship explodes is because they inject preburner exhaust into the tanks for autogenous pressurisation (probably a Musk idea) which creates water ice in the tanks and clogs the engine inlets. BO obviously doesn't do that.

At full throttle, a Raptor'ed Falcon 1 would be pulling 9.65g of acceleration right off the pad, and that's only going to get worse over the 59 seconds it'll take to drink dry the 21 tons of propellant in the F1's first stage. It's still well short of the Sprint's 100g record but it's bad enough we might want to think about investing in ablative fairings. If Elon ever does restart a variant of the Falcon 1 it might be a sign he wants to try and push Raytheon and Lockheed out of the interceptor market.

I don't imagine this would be a truck mounted system. Bunkers would need to store cold fuel, but keeping ~30 tons of methane and oxygen chilled is a trivial difficulty. The biggest issue with liquid-fueled missiles the loading time and with the speed SpaceX has been fueling starship you could force feed a F1 its prop load in less time than it'd take a Titan II crew to verify their launch codes.

The top right corner of the graph, labeled "Speculative Molecular Physics," represents propulsion systems with very high specific impulse values. These systems are still in the realm of speculative or theoretical physics and have not yet been realized in practice. Some examples of speculative propulsion technologies that could potentially fall into this category include:
>Alcubierre Drive: A hypothetical method of faster-than-light travel proposed by physicist Miguel Alcubierre. It involves creating a region of spacetime that moves faster than the speed of light, allowing a spacecraft to travel at speeds greater than the speed of light without violating the laws of relativity.
>Quantum Vacuum Plasma Propulsion (QVPP): A theoretical propulsion system that relies on the Casimir effect, which is the attractive force between two parallel, perfectly conducting plates in a vacuum. The QVPP concept involves creating a region of negative pressure in the vacuum, which could theoretically propel a spacecraft forward.
>Warp Drive: A concept from theoretical physics that involves creating a "warp bubble" around a spacecraft, which would allow it to travel faster than the speed of light without violating the laws of relativity. The warp bubble would be created by manipulating spacetime itself, rather than relying on a propellant.
>Gravitational Wave Propulsion: A speculative propulsion system that would use the energy generated by gravitational waves to propel a spacecraft forward. This concept is based on the idea that gravitational waves can be harnessed to create a net force on a spacecraft.
>Dark Matter Propulsion: A theoretical propulsion system that would use the hypothetical dark matter particles to create a net force on a spacecraft. This concept is based on the idea that dark matter particles could interact with normal matter in a way that would produce thrust.

it's possible we have some local panspermia cousins who want to observe us much as we'd want to observe any inhabited planets we could reach. automatically assuming there's no chance we've been visited is a lack of imagination. with that said, disappearing optical transients in old telescope data can be explained by far more mundane causes, including the gravitational lensing one given in the paper. i'm still not convinced that there aren't data quality issues in stuff this old too.
