Does someone have the link or image to the article talking about how the pajesh programmers at boeing used "Delhi time" in an internal clock on either starliner or on the 737? Everything seems to be wiped from the internet yet i clearly remember this

You're probably thinking of shartliner, that was 11 hours off where it should've been. But that would only put the "timezone" somewhere in East Asia, and most likely that clock was running off mission elapsed time anyway (power on was roughly 11 hours before launch)

Guess there is still a reason to watch starlink launches. We take it for granted, but it is still incredible the quality of launch and on orbit footage we get on a regular basis. This view wouldn't exist if they just played a data driven animation. This reminds me to be more thankful for what we have.

People keep saying SpaceX might spin off Starlink, however I've yet to see an explanation of how Starlink would be supposed to maintain a strong competetive edge when it is no longer vertically integrated with Starship
Anonymous at Wed, 8 May 2024 12:22:07 UTC No. 16165695
>>16165685
it would be a subsidiary of SpaceX, it would still be vertically integrated
this would just allow SpaceX to have some of its business in public company so there is a more liquid market for the shares but still own more than 50% of the company and thus control it

though it would introduce complications and lawsuits and so on and would be a step towards splitting starlink off completely, but SpaceX could do the IPO in a way that SpaceX retains some special voting stock to keep complete control
the IPOed shares would just have the right to get a certain percentage of profits via dividends eventually
Anonymous at Wed, 8 May 2024 12:30:48 UTC No. 16165708
and to add to that, I would think that any monopoly or anti-trust would be independent of starlink using spacex for launches
not sure if there would be some implications on pricing i.e. SpaceX wouldn't be allowed to sell launches for lower prices to Starlink? But if they own over 50% anyway then effectively that would be happening anyway

this spin off starlink thing is pure copium. spacex itself will go public in 2027 because investors want to exit on (you)r liquidity. They issued elon an ultimatum behind the scenes. Its been over 20 years for some of them and they want to finally cash out. Elon is jaded about the whole situation because he knows it will complicate his vision for going to Mars (making it basically impossible) which is why he is switching gears to a Moon base. Sad really. He got so far but got tripped up by the jew 2/3rds of the way to making life multiplanetary.

an exit would be possible to do with Starlink by converting SpaceX shares into some number of Starlink shares or even simply giving all shareholders one share in starlink per one share they have in spacex and then they could divest the spacex shares in private markets if they wish
If musk doesn't want to make SpaceX public, then SpaceX is not going to go public, its as simple as that

Under the arrangement you propose, shareholders would have no rights or control over the means of production most critical for Starlink's competetive edge (Starship) and would be vulnerable to getting rugpulled by Musk at any future time.
Musk could take his ball (Starship) and go home to build "Gigalink" or whatever. Starlink employees would of course quit their jobs and join Gigalink because they know that's the only viable future. Shareholders would be left holding the bag of empty factories and a rapidly deteriorating constellation.
Seems like that arrangement would depress the valuation a lot.
Couldn't SpaceX just as well take out a loan against future Starlink profits?

Musk frequently makes deals that involve raising money. See for example the Twitter acquisition. If he is seen as keeping investors' money locked up and splurging profits on what they see as vanity projects, it will be a huge dent to his fundraising ability. Musk has of course said he wants to enable Mars colonization, however investors probably see the Mars hype as just a branding and recruitment strategy, not as a declaration of a genuine business plan.

Musk still makes deals that involve raising investor money. See for example the $7.14 billion equity from 19 other investors for the Twitter acquisition. SpaceX did another funding round as recently as 16 months ago. If he is seen as keeping investors' money locked up and splurging profits on what they see as vanity projects, it will probably cause a huge dent to his future fundraising ability.
Musk has of course said publicly that he wants SpaceX to enable Mars colonization, however investors probably see Musk's Mars hype as merely a branding and recruitment strategy, not as a genuine declaration of the real long-term plan for SpaceX.
Maybe Musk is genuinely intent on Mars colonization and doesn't think he will needs to raise any more money in the future, or maybe thinks he can rely solely on "ideological" investors. We will see. He seems vain and "big picture man" enough that he might decide to focus on legacy and trying to get a prominent mention in the history books rather than just further expanding his business empire.

That's not the same thing though. The analogy to that would be to take SpaceX public while Musk retains voting majority in the company through class A shares.
Even though Musk would control the company, shareholders would still have rights, and he would not be able to rugpull them

Zuckerberg has ~100% of his wealth tied up in Facebook. He'd be starting nearer to scratch than his current position if he kills that golden goose. Musk has multiple independent companies and thus a much better BATNA and can drive much harder bargains; investors know this and would be less willing to deal with him.
Also Musk is seen as a lot more erratic/less credible than Zuck. There's definitely a significant chance he would try to pull some shit and squeeze minority shareholders out. I'm not sure it'd stop investors giving him a majority using super-voting shares, but it'd definitely be on worse terms than Zuck has because of this risk, and maybe worse enough to make it not worth it.

Putting aside that CASC's new kerolox rockets aren't reusable. There should still be some cost advantages over the old hypergolics that justify the transition, right? For example, the new LM-6C versus the old LM-2D staple rocket. 6C has 3 engines. 2D has 5 engines. So it reduces mechanical complexity, which lowers cost, right? Kerolox propellant is cheaper to handle than the highly toxic udmh/nto, right? 6C is also more powerful than 2D.

The Chinese are for the time being likely going to focus most engineering resources and launch capacity on the commercial and military applications of space because that's seen as higher priority than space stunts. The American government isn't going to be moving any faster than it needs to be 1 step ahead of the Chinese.

The new series are an improvement simply by having rockets that are more powerful. And not just because they enable the launch of bigger things. Launching megaconstellations to LEO/SSO on tiny rockets like 2c/2d/4b/4c can't be very economical. 8a and 12 should be much better in that regard.

it's a seemingly infinite void, rather than something that curves round; if it wasn't flat, and you started traveling in one direction, you might be able to eventually loop right back round to where you started from

>Robotic spacecraft to Mars are currently required to be sterilized. The allowable limit is 300,000 spores on the exterior of general craft, with stricter requirements for spacecraft bound for "special regions" containing water.[40][41] Otherwise there is a risk of contaminating not only the life-detection experiments but possibly the planet itself.
>Sterilizing human missions to this level is impossible, as humans are host to typically a hundred trillion (1014) microorganisms of thousands of species of the human microbiota, and these cannot be removed. Containment seems the only option, but it is a major challenge in the event of a hard landing (i.e. crash).[43] There have been several planetary workshops on this issue, but with no final guidelines for a way forward yet.

No they certainly do, if somebody is genuinely faulting ULA for one valve failure when they did abort the launch before anything happened then its disingenuous and shouldnt be paid any mind to. So far no major failures that should be critcized, people are probably just worried about recent events and practices with Boeing in their airplane business and it spills over to their spaceflight side and as such also to ULA who are launching their Starliner.

One of the hardest things NASA has to explain to the people giving it money is that it can't ever spend *less* on ongoing missions or projects.
You cut NASA's budget and two things happen: maintenance stops on NASA facilities (incurring massive repair costs later) and NASA project schedules turn into fucking spaghetti. If NASA has already committed to a mission, cutting the budget means they have to do it really slowly, which means a few things: they have to pay people more in total to do the same amount of work (they have to keep the staff busy that whole time or they leave for SpaceX et al) and they have to maintain things they bought. This can get rather ludicrous like paying outrageous margins to some supplier to keep making parts that are obsolete by the time NASA needs them, or storing spacecraft parts in climate-controlled clean rooms for years on end (Insight cost 150 million to store BY ITSELF for a delay of two years after France fucked them on the seismograph).
That Hickham tweet comes from deep experience. He knows the Artemis mission is deader than Apollo, the only question is how long they're going to pretend its still viable

Guys I figured it out.
Lets humor Bob Lazar (UFO guy), and say that his testimony is real for a moment.
He said element 115 has antigravity properties whih was the most preposterous part of his claims. He was mistaken. It's actually the power source for the MHD drive the saucer uses. Think about it. If we could manufacture elements in the island of stability then they would be extremely useful for industrial applications due to being stable in ambient conditions, but would carry a tremendous amount of energy in the nuclei which could be relatively easily taken by bombarding them with radiation. It's like a super battery. One could imagine the UFO operating in the same way as a rocket engine, where once you get an initial igniton source the reaction becomes self sustaining (with the craft drawing in particles along magnetic field lines at high speed to bombard the fuel source)
The funny thing is he was close to being right, because he said how the element gets excited when hit with radiation, but then he went off about antigravity shit.

That is a huge 'if'', at least in the context of making enough material to sustain a hypothetical engine. Makes me wonder if some kind of fusion-based power might be a more realistic solution. That, and Lazar really sounds like a complete fraud to me.

forgot to mention - it seems like a lot of thrust would be required to pull off those crazy stunts UFO's are reportedly doing. Wouldn't a MHD drive on a scale required to get a UFO to outperfom any man-made vehicle generate so much air displacement it would affect the water vapor in the exhaust and be visible from afar? Sort of like a sonic boom but shaped like a rocket exhaust.

We can't do it today, but if the power generation of mankind continues to increase then one day it will be practical to do so.
Maybe a fusion reactor would be able to deliver the performance to power the craft, but I'm skeptical. If it works it would definitely be heavier than a superheavy element fuel source for the energy output, so always lower performance. If fusion does work for that purpose then maybe hypothetical future civilization would use fusion craft for low delta v journeys and superheavy element craft for high performance trips.
An advanced civilization in the future would probably have enough energy to manufacture useable amounts of superheavy elements, especially if they solve fusion. People already use batteries so I don't see why they wouldn't use an order of magnitude more potent energy storage

Brazil's government wants to ban Elon's stuff because he started to think he can play around with foreign governments for fun. Brazil has bigger priorities than internet right now when food and water are bigger issues and the army and rescue groups can communicate fine for the most part and he announces the donation just now for good PR and the fact that he still has business with brazilian companies that ate tightly connected to the government.
Why aren't you whining about your corrupt government wanting to ban shit like Tiktok because it MAY be influenced by the Chinese government while Elon straight up said people should be impeached in Brazil.

Sometimes I think about the fact that things are happening on the scale of a coffee table everywhere in the universe.
When you look far away from earth you only see the big things, the further, the bigger. Jupiter doesn’t just exist as a ball thousands of times the size of earth, it has wispy clouds a foot long that billow for a second and then disappear.
A cubic meter of plasma inside some star in Andromeda is still just a meter across. Billions of lightyears away in some galaxy we’ve never seen on an exoplanet no one will ever think about a pebble is falling off a small mound or regolith.
This is happening in every cubic meter of the universe at all times. It’s too much.

True. It has kept me up on nights for my whole life. People say something is x million lightyears away as a way to say how it's unreachably far, but to me I think about how we only have to travel at the speed of light for x million years and we can actually go there, its a real place with real things, which is just mindblowing. These merging galaxies for example are 300 million lightyears away. all we have to do is travel at the speed of light for roughly the time that animals have existed on the surface of earth, and we can go there. It's an entire galaxy (or pair of galaxies). That's insane!

Maybe in service of hot staging? More thrust on the upper stage means less need to throttle the first stage down; staging on IFT-3 seemed to not be that fast, and there wasn't a payload or a full fuel load either. Or maybe they just figure more THROOST = more better all around (lower gravity losses!), which I can't really argue with.

Tesla has already pivoted fully to FSD/self-driving and Optimus, building cheap cars is not a focus anymore (though they will do it as well, but its a lower priority)
BYD basically gave up with self-driving and players like Waymo and Cruise are LIdar based systems, so they won't be able to scale as fast as Tesla is when Teslas fully camera based self driving system comes online
nor will anybody else for that matter, no other company has an appreciable number of cars collecting similar amounts of data as Tesla has, they don't have as much compute as Tesla has and probably don't have the AI experts either (though the last one might be possible to get)
Teslas FSD will be a similar technological leap as Starship is compared to the competition and will probably take about as long for the competitors to come up with a similar system, though you are right about the markets being artificially separated in spaceflight in ways they aren't necessarily for self driving (Tesla is about to start testing FSD and perhaps robotaxis as well in China right now)
whether this is good or bad for Tesla remains to be seen, but if the chinese launch market was open for SpaceX, they would completely dominate it right now, who could be able to compete?

In any case, the biggest benefit of the FFSC is the potential for quicker turnaround and longer engine life at a given performance level, not just in efficiency

That might work as an interim solution, however it'd be a bit wasteful to keep what would be essentially an over-engineered steel fairing on all the way to orbit

Certainly! It’s essential to strike a balance between functionality and efficiency when designing space vehicles. While an over-engineered steel fairing might be wasteful for the entire journey to orbit, there are some considerations to keep in mind:
Protection During Launch:
The fairing serves a crucial purpose during the initial stages of launch.
It shields the payload (such as satellites or spacecraft) from aerodynamic forces, temperature variations, and debris encountered during ascent.
A robust fairing ensures that delicate instruments and payloads remain intact until they reach the vacuum of space.
Weight and Efficiency:
You’re right that carrying an unnecessarily heavy fairing throughout the entire journey to orbit could be inefficient.
Engineers often optimize fairing design to minimize weight while maintaining structural integrity.
Some rockets even have fairings that split into two halves and jettison early in the ascent to reduce mass.
Reusable Fairings:
In recent years, reusable fairings have gained attention.
Companies like SpaceX have developed technology to recover and reuse fairings, significantly reducing costs.
These fairings are equipped with parachutes and are retrieved from the ocean after separation.
Customization:
Depending on the payload, fairings can be customized.
For smaller payloads or specific mission requirements, a less robust fairing might suffice.
Tailoring the fairing design to the payload’s needs can optimize efficiency.

Tesla probably can't win on price against BYD in the long run. As you say, product differentiation through self driving software is the escape hatch that Tesla is running towards. Though the obvious problem with that plan is that they don't really have fully functional self driving yet and they need to sell cars *now*.
Of course, another reason for the aggressive cost cutting might be that Tesla wants to put every dollar they can muster on self driving development.

>if the chinese launch market was open for SpaceX, they would completely dominate it right now, who could be able to compete?
IDK what you mean. AFAIK China's space sector is currently constrained by launch capacity. If they had access to F9, it would let them deploy their megaconstellations a lot faster. Launch providers like CASC and CASIC would continue as normal because they are SOEs who don't adhere to market principles. The launch startups could also continue as normal because they are funded mostly by continuous equity injections boosted by state-owned VCs, and would probably get guaranteed contracts from the state until they've matured enough to compete on their own.

The technology to perform a brain duplication or upload absolutely does not exist yet and may not for a very long time, if ever.

It has zero appeal to anyone who has background into science. Its not just because the homunculi is a wacky idea but neuroscience/biology/physics support the exact opposite. Of there not being one.

Qualia is a term used to describe the state of a homunculi experiencing stuff, if a hard qualia/homunculi pusher is taken seriously. Thats just religious stuff thats right up the alley for the homunculi and thus is unfalsifiable.
A soft stance on qualia is arguing that we have what appears to be a "subjective experience" where there's a "subject" and an "object" duality in an event and where the relations between the two is played out.
The soft stuff gives room for proper analytic explanation. The task is then to trace the origin of the subject/object duality to dismantle the qualia thesis. If we go to the source, we find that we have to go to the event itself. Suppose you're look at this thread and wondering/reading/thinking. Whats happening in this event? From a third person scientific perspective, you have a person staring at a screen and using keyboard/mouse. From a first person perspective, you only have whatever is infront of your eyes, hearing range, tactile sensation, etc. Your senses. Thats where the event is first being recorded in the brain. But that event is the complete picture of what your senses tell you. Then the brain parses the information from the senses to make sense of the event and situate the body in time and space. For that to happen, it needs to create a frame of reference as the center of the event. This is the directionality/intentionality/will power/etc. Further, when analyzing the event, it needs to create a self-locating reference point so we know where we are in time-space for navigating the world and survival. So when an event is parsed in our brain, we get both our narrator and the narrated.
