Great rocket, but exceptionally awkward in how the core, the interstage, the upper stage, the payload, the payload fairings, and all of the boosters all arrived at SLC-17 separately and had to be pieced together on the pad. It was a minor miracle that they were able to launch this thing twelve times in 1998.

abiogenesis is extrememly commnon and happens perhaps an average of one every 10 suitable stars. mars has microorganisms. Even perhaps Mercury does. The chances of a planet having the perculiar eden like conditions of Earth for a long time, and then for whites to evolve is very very unlikely, basically impossible. Venus and Mars are examples which sustained earthlike habitability for a very short time.

which suggest it isn't rare at all
perhaps the environment where it happens is rare (certain type of star, certain type of planet, need a moon, not too far or near the galactic center etc) but the actual abiogenesis when you have the right environment isn't difficult as I remember it

They don't have an understanding of it at all. How exactly could they predict its frequency? They can't even make a cell in a lab without another living cell already doing the work. There is effectively no reason to believe abiogenesis one way or the other. As such, they can't say with which frequency it occurred as they have no idea of the initial conditions or elements of such. Rather, they tell you a story of what they want you to believe, grounded on nothing, and brimming with feeble materialist assumptions.

Even if you have the conditions, you still need about 100 proteins to spontaneously assemble themselves to make the simplest self replicating molecule. Lab conditions have spawned the proteins but it seems like the probability of a certain amount in one place scales exponentially downward.
It might work out that if every viable star had a copy of Earth with the same conditions for the same time, we would still be alone within the entire observable universe.

>Technicians offload NASA’s largest planetary mission spacecraft, Europa Clipper, from a United States Air Force C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft at the Launch and Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, May 23, 2024. Crews will prepare it for launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the Florida spaceport, targeting liftoff in October. Europa Clipper will help determine if life-sustaining conditions exist below the surface of Jupiter’s fourth largest moon, Europa.

In any case, if 300 million planets in the galaxy had ideal conditions over 500 million sqkm each for 100 million years but the chances of life arising in a given sqkm over a year is 10^-27 then not only is the milky way empty, the nearest 100 galaxies are too.

not hard to calculate that the structural mass of the rocket is overweight, resulting in a LEO payload capacity of only 40-60 ton.

2) The OP picture should be non-political and spaceflight related, bonus points if its relevant to a recent event, again to keep the discussion on topic.
3) The subject should be exactly as within the quotation marks "/sfg/ - Spaceflight General"
4) The text field should be short snippet of a subject related to the picture in the form "[subject matter] edition", then an empty line and then a link to the previous thread
5) The previous thread should have a link to the new one just created, announcing that a new thread was created with the text "Staging" and then multiple links on separate lines to make the link noticeable, the post with the link should also have a screenshot showing the page of the old thread so that no unnecessary drama is created due to early thread creation (early staging).

Wouldn’t a super low latency sat net constellation (like Starlink) completely invalidate stealth aircraft?
Like you’d just look down and see when the planes take off, and then track them.
Communicate with a less than 50ms delay to the SAM system, and boom you’re done.

You might not even need ground radars at that point, which also helps protect your air defenses against SEAD.
I guess the real SEAD battleground will become LEO, given enough time.

>As the commercial and military space sectors continue their rapid growth, the Space Force is planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade its launch facilities—and will consider expanding to other locations, a top general said May 21.
>“The United States’ current space launch infrastructure was designed in the 1970s and 1980s and pre-dates the Internet of Things (IoT),” SpaceWERX wrote in its solicitation. “While we’re currently able to meet national security space lift missions, our capacity to support public and private sector demand for access to space is falling behind.”
>One way upgraded IT and infrastructure could help, Garrant suggested, is by allowing personnel to supervise and launch rockets from opposite sides of the country. But there are plenty of technologies and upgrades to consider, he added.
>“It’s not just about fixing the technical debt of the existing infrastructure. It’s about building out the infrastructure,” he said.
>Space Force will soon start to collect more fees from commercial launch providers that use U.S. military spaceports, thanks to new authorities granted by Congress. Those funds will help fund more modernization efforts.
>Beyond just improving existing facilities, the service may soon start considering other locations too. A draft version of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act released by the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee includes language directing the Chief of Space Operations to brief lawmakers by Dec. 1, 2024, on “the feasibility of launching NSSL missions out of space ranges not currently utilized by the United States Space Force for NSSL, such as Wallops Island, Virginia; Pacific Spaceport Complex, Alaska; and Spaceport America in New Mexico after 2025.”

Nah. Getting enough resolution to look at something and say "yeah that's a plane" isn't hard from the altitude Starlink runs at. You won't be able to read the tail number but roughly identifying the type of craft would be trivial. Given the number of sats you have to work with, the coverage area for each can be relatively small, which works in favor of reducing optic size even further.
With a computer able to ingest and correlate all the feeds, you could effectively track all air traffic not obscured by clouds by using similar methods to how astronomers look for asteroids and KBOs and whatnot. You wouldn't need more than a ~dozen pixels per plane to determine movement and position, though that would make type ID harder. I'd be tremendously disappointed if the DoD isn't trying to implement a program like this with Starshield.

Not just that, but LEO sats with lasers give a clear precise position to missiles.

Further if they have a powerful enough lasers (~100kw) thats fired for ~10 secs, it should be able to destroy any jets/missiles near outer space. 100KW x 10 seconds = 1 million joules of energy poured into a metal over 10 sec or ~100K joules/sec. With 50% efficiency, thats 50K joules/second. Or ~100K degree celsius of temp heating up any metal/carbon composites.

If the laser sats are in low enough orbit, orbital drag will dissipate the heat. The thin atmosphere combined with giant radiator. Hell, you can even network swarm of sats that work together to function together.

imagine a single central laser weapon sat that has large enough radiator, but no power source (solar panel). accompanied by a fleet of 5-6 lasers whose sole job is to generate solar power and transmit laser power to the central laser wep sat.

Current laser defense systems are around 300kW and even those have limitations, they can burn through drones but they're not dumping power fast enough into targets to take out larger or fast missiles.

And that's at shorter ranges. If you fire them from satellites you'll have issues with dispersion, atmospheric perturbations and simply keeping a good aim on the targets while moving at high relative speeds.
We're talking about hitting coin-sized spots from 400km while moving at 7km/s.

>>16193953
You could have a thermal soak and radiate it slowly afterwards. It's not like would fire continuously, in LEO they'd only be over the target site for a short time anyway.

That's just retarded.

And PV has efficiency losses. If you beam a megawatt of light onto a central satellite you'd have to shed a lot of heat just from collecting it. Mirrors would have less loss, but you don't need those either. Just aim the 6 lasers jointly on the same target without the intermediate step.

I wouldn't bet my infrastructure on that just yet. Plus even if it does work it would make things more expensive.
And lowering their orbit also makes them easier to shoot down.

only true when you're starting from a blank-slate design process on your ASAT missile, and Russia cannot design new weapons
their current weapons are sufficient for the task already, so going lower has zero effect on that

>>16194032
If they can use cheaper missiles to shoot them down that's not an improvement for the sats.
Making them more expensive and carry less payload is not an improvement.
Increasing their visibility due to constrained orientation and constant thruster firing is not an improvement.

It's a countermeasure with drawbacks. So yes, a few bags of ball bearings do mean a massive impediment. Though of course it's denial for both sides. But if the deployed capabilities are asymmetrical then the one with fewer assets in space will be tempted to just salt the earth for everyone.

Let's be very honest again, we don't have a commercially available heavy lift vehicle. Falcon 9 Heavy may someday come about. It's on the drawing board right now. SLS is real. You've seen it down at Michoud. We're building the core stage. We have all the engines done, ready to be put on the test stand at Stennis... I don't see any hardware for a Falcon 9 Heavy, except that he's going to take three Falcon 9s and put them together and that becomes the Heavy. It's not that easy in rocketry.

The give Bolden some credit, that quote was from 2014 and Falcon Heavy had such a difficult road getting to it's first launch in 2018 that Elon repeatedly considered canceling it. The only other common-core launch vehicles in service were the Delta IV Heavy and Angara A5, and neither of those had easy development cycles. The Atlas V Heavy never happened and the Vulcan Heavy almost certainly never will. Common core designs look like they'd be cheap and simple but they never seem to work out that way.

>Thus, by a combination of guard rings and guard caps to make the self-gravity more uniform, the use of the Earth tides augmented or compensated by 100-kilogram masses, and a slight rotation of the sample volume, it is possible to cancel all the gravity inside a sample volume of material some thirtycentimeters in diameter and tencentimeters thick (the size of a birthday cake). The technique can be used at any orbital altitude, but the best results can be obtained in a space manufacturing facility in geostationary orbit. In one example that I calculated, our birthday-cake sized sample disk of water had the gravity fields inside decreased by a factor of a thousand, so that the maximum gravity acceleration anywhere inside the disk was less than a picogravity or a trillionth of an Earth gravity. At this level of acceleration it would take an atom eightseconds to fall its own diameter

No it's not. I think we know this because the semantics of the genetic code with triplets and stuff is actually kind of arbitrary, or at least it wouldn't be the same if abiogenesis happened in today's conditions. Also it's extremely improbable because we already have strong evolved life that would immediately kill the weak new life.

that's not an argument against it happening though. it's just that if it's happening then it'd be really hard to spot, unless you're tracking every single microbe on the ocean floor.

Its constantly happening.

Water + underwater volcano = melting soup that generates amino acids + primitive cells. These are even being recreated in lab simulations as well. Its happening, constantly and spontaneously. Its a natural outcome of themix

That's retarded and anti-evolutionary. You don't just get cells.

If it were happening at that rate we would notice it easily. The reason it's not happening is competition.

one problem with "le tungston rod from space" is you can't just "drop" it.
but this picture had me thinking. There's a guy standing there.
Lets assume spin gravity.
Could a spin gravity station "drop" weapons down to earth?

orbital velocity at 200km LEO is 7.789 kilometers per second
so you would need a spin station that has tangential speed of 7789 m/s and assuming you wanted to keep the 1g centripetal acceleration, you would need to have a spin station with the radius of 6186 km
so basically a spin station with the radius close to earths radius

you can pretty easily get phospholipid bilayers though. And if you handwave some self-replicating molecule SOMEHOW coming about, then it’s not so crazy to assume it found its way into a cozy little polymorphic home and that becomes the cell. It’s that easy in abiogenesis
