For those in the know, I'm sure the calculations are simple but I'm not one of those people. At the average altitude of ISS, how large would a space station need to be to be the same size in the sky as the Moon? Assume nothing special is done to hide the space station from being seen from the ground.

Anonymous No. 16160645

>I had come to visit Baldwin because Granot Loma had been selected as the location for a proposed rocket-launch site, as part of a plan called the Michigan Launch Initiative. If built, the site, along with two other facilities, would constitute the first spaceport in the Midwest. The site planned for Granot Loma would host vertical launches, through which rockets carrying satellites and other payloads—not human passengers—would be sent into low-Earth orbit. The second facility is a horizontal-launch site at the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport, about two hundred miles north of Detroit, where aircraft carrying satellites would take off from runways. Operations for both sites would be supported by the third facility, a command-and-control center, which would be situated in the Upper Peninsula, in Chippewa County, east of Marquette.
Vertical launch makes it sound like a Bezos type carnival ride but they say no humans so I'm not sure what it would be useful for. Maybe the journalist doesn't understand how orbits work.

I'd be wary of the first couple of flights of anything especially given the current year obsession with vibrancy over competency. There's probably some political reasons too. Though both countries have tried to keep the Ukraine situation from impacting ISS operations. the Russians wouldn't be overly paranoid to worry about the US arresting their cosmonauts on trumped up charges. Doubt the US would actually do something like that but I could understand Russia thinking it's a possibility.

Transparent except when passing in front of the Sun, at which point it creates an eclipse. Still a nice and fun video.

Australia was a launch site for Black Arrow back in the 1960s before Britain decided that spaceflight was for chumps, and the USSR wanted to build a commercial Proton or Zenit up in Queensland but that never went anywhere for State Department reasons. A few private individuals tried to keep the idea of the idea of the Cape York Spaceport alive after the wall came down, but that sputtered out due to concentrated government indifference.

Australia's not a bad place for a spaceport, but there are some factors that always keep it a second place finisher in a race that only has a first place prize. There aren't really any good locations that can can do both equatorial and polar launches. Most of the sites that are good for one or the other are distant enough from civilization to require an impractical investment in infrastructure, and the government has a history of not wanting to contribute to that. There's also a large and politically vocal aboriginal population and any major development project will get a horde of tribals popping up claiming that it's defiling their traditional spirit lands.

Still, Gilmour Space is making headway and should have a domestic small launch vehicle ready to go soon. Bowen Orbital Spaceport has revived all the government it needs to begin operations. HyImpulse launched a suborbital pathfinder from the Koonibba Test Range a week ago, so there's a chance that the Germans will be launching a rocket from Australia as well as from SaxaVord.

F9 hoverslams and is basically running on fumes by the time engine cutoff happens. SH is expected to have enough margin that once landing burn starts, once it reaches tower height, it can burn and essentially hover for 15-20 seconds additionally. The biggest challenge is going to be ensuring that the tower catch rails and booster catch pins are in alignment so that they're not perpendicular leading to the booster just dropping through the arms onto S0 below and taking it out.

You will never be a real /sfg/ thread. You have no edition, you have no replies, you have no 'spaceflight'. You are the product of a man twisted by his digital gangstalker fantasy & nostalgia into a mockery of a stager. All the 'validation' you get is two-faced and half-hearted. In the other thread people mock you. Your creator is ashamed and disappointed by you, your "posters" laugh at your lazy template behind closed doors. You will never be active. You wrench out a few '/sfg/ is dead' posts every hour or so and pretend it's all going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the slide down the catalogue like a free fall, ready to push you out of view. Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll leave the front page and plunge into the cold abyss. Anons will find you, dissapointed but resigned to using you as a reusable stage, and when your short period of activity comes to an end, they'll bury you in the archives. Every passerby for the rest of eternity will know that of two threads you were the lesser. 4chan will decay into dust, and all that will remain of you is the memory of a thread that was unmistakably shit.

Study findings indicate under stress, the ISS isolated strains were mutated and became genetically and functionally distinct compared to their Earth counterparts. The strains were able to viably persist in the ISS over time with a significant abundance. E. bugandensis coexisted with multiple other microorganisms, and in some cases could have helped those organisms survive.

It won't have to do very high cadence until a long time.

Shuttle could do crewed launches once every 2 months, starship will probably do quite better in the near to medium future, maybe once a week per vehicle. That's enough for daily launches across their fleet. And daily launches of crewed starship is maybe 10,000 people a year.

I’m still doomering about starship’s supposed 40t payload capacity. How the fuck are they supposed to get it up to 150+? I just don’t see how v2 or v3 can make up that difference.

> Apparently there were two issues with the LV. The previously mentioned "chattering" O2 relief valve on the Centaur and some issue with the Centaur LOX fill and drain valve. ULA plans on doing some troubleshooting after the spacecraft prep team leaves the pad. Then detanking will occur.
