Spoiler, once you plebs figure out how to solve the tyranny of the rocket equation you still can't live in space. Radiation+gravity. Humans will fall apart in space or Mars or the Moon due to lack of Earth gravity and the intense radiation of space that Earth protects us from.
We're fucked, it's never going to happen, it's all a lie. You'll die like pigs in the gravity well....and maybe that's a good thing. Imagine what a mess you slobs would make of the cosmos. For the best really.
PS, I know how to solve the issue....but i'd never tell you Elon Musk sucking homos. You wouldn't listen anyway.

What part of an O'Neill cylinder protects you from all known interstellar radiation including gamma ray bursts? Intense solar flares? Spoiler, it doesn't.
Is rotational spin gravity the same exact as planetary gravity made via mass concentration? Dose the human body grow and thrive under centrifugal spin the same as on the crust of the Earth? No one knows so you can't answer and I'd bet it's a big NO. NASA has done extensive research with long term human survival in space environments. Do you know the results of this experiments? I do, and they were not promising, the opposite in fact.

The thick hull will take care of all GRB unless there's one locally with the beam coming straight at us in which case the entire solar system gets zapped including Earth. Solar flares won't trouble them either

Consider the following.
The stans have a strong emotional reaction to the heat shield issue because it embodies the 'iteration' debate. They are being forced to face the failure of modeling to find it, the rocket had to be yeeted to.

In the heart of the night, beneath the moon's cold gaze,
I stood on the launchpad, my vision ablaze.
The Starship, my dream, fueled by hope and desire,
A vessel to carry humanity higher and higher.
The preburner hummed, its rhythm so sweet,
Injecting water ice, a dance with fate complete.
Little did I know, as the countdown began,
That destiny's hand was dealt, a cruel, silent plan.
Oh, Starship, my Starship, your flames reached the sky,
But the water ice betrayed us, and we wondered why.
As the engines choked, and the fuel lines froze,
We watched our dreams shatter, like a falling star's prose.
The engines sputtered, their fire dimmed low,
The void whispered secrets, of futures we'd never know.
I gazed at the heavens, my heart torn asunder,
For the Starship was more than steel; it was wonder.
The clogs in the veins, the ice in the veins,
A cosmic tragedy etched in the night's remains.
I pleaded with fate, begged the stars to relent,
But the universe laughed, its indifference unbent.
Oh, Starship, my Starship, your flames reached the sky,
But the water ice betrayed us, and we wondered why.
As the engines choked, and the fuel lines froze,
We watched our dreams shatter, like a falling star's prose.
Elon, they whispered, you dared to touch the sun,
To grasp at infinity, to be the chosen one.
But hubris and science, they dance hand in hand,
And sometimes the cosmos refuses to understand.
I wept for the crew, for the dreams left behind,
For the Starship that crumbled, its destiny unkind.
Yet still, I'll keep dreaming, reaching for the unknown,
For the stars are our canvas, and hope is our own.
Oh, Starship, my Starship, your flames reached the sky,
But the water ice betrayed us, and we wondered why.
As the engines choked, and the fuel lines froze,
We watched our dreams shatter, like a falling star's prose.

Once the two craft are separated, if one of the two craft only has one guy piloting it, then that guy is flying solo. It doesn't matter whether the LM is on the lunar surface, both craft are in flight, apart from each other With "but for a brief moment" (it wasn't, it was a period of several hours) you basically concede the point. "fully solo" is a nonsense phrase, it's either one guy in a given craft or it isn't. John Young was the first human to fly solo around the Moon.

NTA but it's called "asteroid mining" and will be competitive with mining on Earth as launch costs drop.
Tourism is also possible if the habitats are made nice enough. There are plenty of places here on Earth which are marginally habitable at best (like pretty much all of Egypt), but the locals try to make them decent for visitors.

You just put up with it and try not to annoy your crewmates too much. They had to pee and poop and all that, and in very close proximity to each other. Bit gay, really.
Astronauts are put through very rigorous psychological screening to make sure that the people they pick probably won't flip out and bang up the multi-million dollar piece of equipment that they have been entrusted with. Do you know that? They want people who are on a very even keel.

Which is why they sent up a straight up psycho woman who committed the first crime in space before having a breakdown, sabotaging the station and demanding an immediate ride off. Then, hiding away when told to fuck off and refusing to do any of her work until the space taxi arrived. Real rigorous screening process.

a lot of guys who worked on the soviet space program were convinced that tereshkova lost her shit during vostok 6 and that was why they didn't fly another woman for 20 years. nothing's ever been firmly settled one way or the other and i doubt it ever will be, but it's a matter of fact that she violated procedure to eat food from a nearby farm after landing, possibly to cover up how she hadn't been eating while in orbit.

"We expect that options for Ethiopia's participation in Russian space research programs may be discussed on the margins of the meeting of the heads of space agencies of the BRICS countries, which is going to take place in Moscow in May this year," Russian Ambassador to Ethiopia Evgeny Terekhin told Sputnik.
The ambassador added that the first time Ethiopia's initiative to join Russian-Chinese projects for an unmanned space mission to the moon and the International Scientific Lunar Station was discussed was in April 2023.

It seems like they're using a straightforward homann transfer orbit. It helps that the LM-5 is a pretty big rocket. India and Russia had to use much more convoluted flying because the LVM3 and Soyuz-2-1b are so much smaller.
And 5:30 AM EST is an absolute ass time to be launching a rocket. Deeply conflicted about trying to get up for this one.

It looks like it's passing through two intermediate orbits before pulling into LLO, and is dropping off a Pakistani rideshare in the initial one
https://twitter.com/SegerYu/status/
>Chang'e-6 first entered a large elliptical lunar orbit of approximately 200 km Ă— 8,600 km and a period of 12 hours, in which it released the ICUBE-Q cubesat. Chang'e-6 will then brake again to enter an elliptical parking orbit with an altitude of approximately 200 km Ă— 2,200 km and a period of 4 hours. Finally, it brakes again to enter a circular orbit of 200 km Ă— 200 km with a period of about 128 minutes, and the four-device separation (orbit return/landing separation) is carried out in this orbit.
I'd like to see more of them too. They're the only lunar landers right now that have a solid track record of actually landing. Chang'e 7 isn't going to fly until 2026.

Don't know your personal context (or military life in general) but at that point John Young was a hot dog and at the time of STS-1, he obviously had pull to dictate whether or not he would consent to fly the Death Trap on its first sortie. At least you aren't dead and retain a sense of humor, so there's two positives.

This primarily: >>16157430. SpaceX found that if they cut the MVAC nozzle in half, the overall stage performance doesn't degrade so much that there's a material impact on the mission and they can make like 5-6 digit cash savings in the process. Every penny counts when you're optimizing for efficiency. It might degrade the performance/life of the deployed missions by a few weeks or months, but that's also a good thing--because that means satellites in LEO don't stay up forever, are deorbited more continuously and ensures that the advancement of technology on the ground keeps up with that in space. You only ever see full nozzles on prestige or specific public sector missions or for corporations that pay for all the performance.

Well yeah, that's sorta part of the whole issue to begin with.

Just reboot the whole thing with new staff, the old staff can pound sand and should be grateful to keep their heads attached.

NASA didnt force it upon them, they just realized that it would be too hard to deliver on the promise and with too little return. Same with Falcon upper stage reusability.

>Howe Industries is currently developing a propulsion system that may generate up to 100,000 N of thrust with a specific impulse (Isp) of 5,000 seconds. The Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR) is originally derived from the Pulsed Fission Fusion concept, but is smaller, simpler, and more affordable.

It's silly how easy it is for NASA to clear this study. They could probably for giggles do a FH launch with 10 V2 minis to Mars with a modified second stage that's slightly extended for additional prop and burn time. Drop those 10 into a 4-450km orbit around Mars and then let them sit there for the next 5-10 years giving the entire planet a few terabits/second of equatorial bandwidth.

(Verse 1) Piping plovers soaring high,
Their wings catching the ocean breeze,
But little did they know, oh my,
A fiery fate awaited them with ease.
(Pre-Chorus) Starship’s Raptor engines roared,
Thirty-three flames dancing in the sky,
As the plovers circled, they implored,
“Please spare us, SpaceX, don’t let us die!”
(Chorus) And it’s a long, long flight to oblivion,
Where the Raptor’s fire burns so bright,
Goodbye, little birds, your time is done,
As Starship ascends into the night.
(Verse 2) The engine’s thrust, a force untamed,
Swallowed the plovers in its fiery maw,
Their delicate feathers scorched and maimed,
A tragic end to their coastal draw.
(Pre-Chorus) Starship’s ascent continued, relentless,
Leaving behind a trail of smoke and awe,
While the plovers vanished, defenseless,
Their song silenced by the engine’s raw.
(Chorus) And it’s a long, long flight to oblivion,
Where the Raptor’s fire burns so bright,
Goodbye, little birds, your time is done,
As Starship ascends into the night.
(Bridge) In the Gulf of Mexico, they fell,
Feathers aflame, a celestial pyre,
Their tiny bodies lost in the swell,
As Starship reached for the stars, higher and higher.
(Chorus) And it’s a long, long flight to oblivion,
Where the Raptor’s fire burns so bright,
Goodbye, little birds, your time is done,
As Starship ascends into the night.

that'd be inconsistent with their doctrine for the last 50+ years, but with them falling so behind in terms of payload to orbit per year it might become rational for them to figure that orbital nuclear explosions hurt the us way more than it hurts them

The US' greatest strategic asset has been precision weapons deployment and persistent real time surveillance and communications, and a lot of Russian doctrine has been about limiting that advantage to level the playing field. Drones have upset the real time surveillance paradigm and reset it to a level playing field, while the communications advantage has gone from involving a handful of easily destroyed high value satellites to a dense constellation of thousands of redundant, high bandwidth systems. They've consistently failed to jam or disrupt that system, which leaves the Russians, when they're looking to limit that advantage, with few options except to destroy them. They can't afford to destroy them with conventional means, which leaves nuclear options to get the kind of bang they need for their available funding.
