How about I make another thread on the mechanics of stability in an underice Europan colony and then get no replies about it and get told Im stupid and to just post current news with nobody answering again. Or I could try making an Ice Giant Probe edition and nobody discusses what could be done/found for the mission in terms of orbital trajectory or length of mission. Or maybe a Ceres Lander thread where everyone again doesnt care. I gave up trying original ideas for a reason, everyone either didnt care to discuss it or told me to do current news only. I guess Ill go back to doing what I did before and continue getting yelled at no matter what I do.

>Ukraine’s 125th Territorial Defense Brigade — stretched thin along a roughly 27-mile stretch of the Kharkiv region’s border with Russia — used reconnaissance drones to monitor, daily, how Moscow was steadily building up forces for a possible attack. But the morning it happened, May 10, the brigade lost all its video feeds due to Russian electronic jamming.
Its Starlink devices — satellite internet the Ukrainian military relies on for basic communication — failed, the first time it was knocked out completely for them since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
>“We were left at a certain point completely blind,” said a drone unit commander in the brigade. The Post agreed to identify him by his call sign, Artist, in keeping with Ukrainian military protocol.
>“This was the biggest problem, we didn’t see how they were moving, we only worked through radio or through phones where they still worked,” Artist, a 53-year-old sergeant, said. The drone feeds, he said, “simply disappeared.”
>Within days, the Russians had captured — for the second time — some 50 square miles of territory along the border, capitalizing on a moment of particular vulnerability for Ukraine’s military.

ignoring the bottles that are expensive because of diamonds or w/e it seems a realistic price is around 100-200k for a liter (maybe even 750ml). though given that it would require the design and creation of a micro automated distillery that works in space that also doesn't leak and then a way to return the distilled alcohol who knows how much that would cost.

Huh. So the unit economics should be able to be made to work out even without Starship but rather with F9 launches today. Big question, as you note, is whether there's enough margin left to pay off the capital cost of the orbital distillery, bearing in mind that, as the most luxury of luxury goods, there's going to be a brutal cost curve and hence upper limits on how much space hooch you'll be selling to recoup that outlay. #1 on the list is on there because of the supply constraint and has a market cap of $75M. Tens of millions of dollars might buy the distillery itself, but probably not the ancillary vehicles you need to get stuff to and from it. That's actually way closer to viability than I was expecting.

Yeah, sharing capital costs on power, stationkeeping, getting stuff up there and back down, etc with other LEO manufacturing (and, if part of a manned CSS, astronaut missions) would make lots of sense. At this point, I start wondering about whether the profit margin of space hooch can beat out space drugs, though, especially on a per unit mass (or maybe volume?) basis. But 'LEO manufacturing is so awesome that even profitable industries are getting crowded out by ultra-profitable industries' seems like a good place to be!

NASA never had "allies" in the Air Force. They were forced into an unwilling partnership by the DoD and NRO.
I doubt there's a timeline where NASA gets fully disbanded, since big government agencies are exceptionally hard to kill, but if NASA did get scaled back hard after Apollo it could kill off the Mariner, Pioneer, and Viking programs. The Soviets would rack up the firsts they'd be expected to with the Salyut program and would push harder for successful missions to the outer planets. They never had much luck originally thanks to how trash their computer systems were, but if they're not dumping Rubles into Buran to try and match the Shuttle program they might be able to address that. A few big Russian wins with some Mars or Jupiter probes could relight the old Sputnik fears and then we're almost back where we were in the 1960s. Or, without Buran the Soviets focus on getting a working heavy lifter and then try for their own lunar program in the late seventies or early eighties.

to answer your question, that kind of geometry may have made sense when they thought the orbiter would have its own big internal fuel tanks but the move away from that more or less invalidated the concept. our shuttle wasn't aerodynamically perfect but it got the job done without really having any more fuselage than it needed to.

the shuttle was supposed to debut in 1977 or 78 but Columbia only rolled off the production line in 1979 and it wasn't till 1981 that STS-1 actually took off.
the orbiters were meant to have a two week turnaround between flights but they could barely manage two months.

You can never be 100% sure just eyeballing things from a phone, but it looks like it's moving significantly faster than it would be if it was hitting air at just orbital velocity. A Dragon reentry would take a lot longer to cross the sky than this thing does.

SLS cost 11.8 billion according to NASA, who don't lowball their figures like SpaceX does. Like I said Starship cost at LEAST 10 billion so far (Musk said just running Starbase was 2 billion a year even before IFT1), and the real figure is probably 1.5x or even 2x that because SpaceX does creative accounting.
Musk is a genius visionary who is making this all happen through force of will, but SpaceX being an order of magnitude cheaper than competition is actually a myth. Hasn't been true since Falcon 9. Falcon heavy was meant to be a trivial strapping together of Falcon boosters and cost 1.5 BILLION and over half a decade. I don't care because burning VC and government money is a moral good, but they certainly arent doing anything on the cheap.

Just do what most do and read the conclusion.
>The erosion rate equation developed in the companion paper has been partially validated by comparison with optical density of the blowing dust during an Apollo landing. Integrating the erosion rate during vehicle descent to the lunar surface requires a soil model that tells how the soil becomes more resistant to erosion with increased compaction below the surface. Soil models based on thermal inertia of the lunar soil measured by LRO Diviner and on Apollo core tube and drill core data produce excellent fits to the blowing dust, but this requires a parameter that tells how cohesive energy of the soil increases with compaction. That parameter has been crudely constrained here by imagery of the post-landing erosion depths, but the permissible range still varies by a factor of three. This results in a factor of 2.6 uncertainty in the total mass of eroded soil blown during each Apollo landing. This can be improved by measuring k directly in the laboratory. The ultra-fines fraction of lunar soil is also not well-constrained, and this produces another +53% to 27% uncertainty in the total eroded soil. The new estimate of eroded soil during Apollo landings is 11 to 26 t, which is 4 to 10 times higher than prior estimates. This suggests that soil blown during lunar landings can cause much worse damage to surrounding hardware than previously recognized.

so lunar cargo landers would have to land pretty far away from other equipment or have some kind of shielding (natural or artificial)

Probably because it's part of the usual redundancy and the mission was completed as planned. Was the Dragon non-deployment investigated as a mishap by the FAA? I don't remember.

It just says "10 solid rocket stations" but there's no verb.
Presumably someone said the first bit about the liquid rockets and then the bit about the solid rockets.

That's what arguing with sg5 is like, though. I'm not sure he's admitted that nobody could possibly have been hurt during the LN2 test tank pop yet and that's just one example.

The clustering on those Dyson Sphere candidates is somewhat concerning. There are a few hundred thousand stars within 900 light years of Earth, but that's an order of magnitude short of the 5 million objects surveyed. The relatively short range implies that these candidate objects are very common in the cosmos, or they're actually clustered, which suggests a common origin.

humans or8ginated from the Pleiades thousands of years ago and colonized 2 other systems there. the settled Mars, but sometging went wrong (a great war perhaps). we still have monuments and pyramids on mars today. the surbivors fled to Earth and rebooted covilization, but a biblical deluge set us back yet again.
