no incentive by companies to go to the system. the biggest incentive for companies to go outside of earth is the lack of atmosphere and life on mars or the resource rich asteroids in between mars and Jupiter.
unless we so royally fuck ourselves that the entire fucking solar system, including the oort cloud becomes un viable for companies to extract minerals from we arent going to proxima centauri any time soon, but the technology will def be used to get to places far out like the oort cloud or the kuiper belt or jupiter's many moons

>Project Hephaistos recently identified seven M-dwarfs as possible Dyson Spheres (DS) candidates. We have cross-matched three of these candidates (A, B \& G) with radio sources detected in various all-sky surveys. The radio sources are offset from the Gaia stellar positions by โผ4.9, โผ0.4 and โผ5.0 arcseconds for candidates A, B, and G respectively. We propose that DOGs (Dust obscured galaxies) lying close to the line-of-sight of these M-dwarf stars significantly contribute to the measured WISE mid-IR flux densities in the WISE W3 and W4 wavebands. These three stars have therefore been misidentified as DS candidates. We also note that with an areal sky density of 9ร10โ6 per square arcsecond, Hot DOGs can probably account for the contamination of all 7 DS candidates drawn from an original sample of 5 million stars

>The most likely root cause for the early boostback burn shutdown was determined to be continued filter blockage where liquid oxygen is supplied to the engines, leading to a loss of inlet pressure in engine oxygen turbopumps.
>The most likely root cause of the unplanned roll was determined to be clogging of the valves responsible for roll control. SpaceX has since added additional roll control thrusters on upcoming Starships to improve attitude control redundancy and upgraded hardware for improved resilience to blockage.
What the fuck is in the tanks that's blocking the filters and valves? Don't they purge them with liquid nitrogen to get everything out? I've never heard this be a problem with any other rocket.

100-200t? Not many are claiming that, certainly not in the near future. More than 25t? Seems very likely.
Picrel is Space Pioneer's new factory in Zhangjiagang. This is the assembly facility. It has three main assembly halls with two rails in each. On the empty field in the background is going to be built a component manufacturing facility (currently components are manufactured in Tianjin). CEO Kang Yonglai said they've raised 3 billion yuan so far (about 400 million dollars). Space Pioneer's TL-3H tricore variant will be 68t to LEO. They're assembling the first unicore TL-3 in that assembly area right now. So a >25t to LEO rocket by Space Pioneer doesn't seem like a pure hypothetical.
There are also other companies that are quite well funded, many of which have a Falcon 9 clone far along in development and intend to make tricore heavy variants in the style of Falcon Heavy. For example:
- CASIC: KZ-6 and tricore KZ-6C (big state-owned aerospace conglomerate)
- Orienspace: YJ-2 and tricore YJ-3 (had raised over 1 billion yuan as of middle last year)
- iSpace: SQX-2 and tricore SQX-2B (idk exactly how much money they have however they do have a working mox engine)
Another well-funded startup is Landspace, that has launched several rockets already. They're working on the BF-20 200t FFSC mox engine since 2021 which they intend to be ready by 2028 for a 10m diameter fully reusable rocket (e.g. Starship clone). They're probably getting full technology transfer from CASC (who develops the YF-215).
>1000s of engines
If you sum up all the stated or implied plans for liquid engine production, of companies that have liquid engines on the test stand right now and that have made such statements, you get well north of 2000 large engines per year. Perhaps not close to all of that will come to fruition however there's clearly a lot of investments being made into engines. Even if you only consider CASC, they plan close to a thousand per year.

LM10A is NET 2026 and LM10 is NET 2027. That's not really "forever" in an aerospace context.
As mentioned, the pad is under construction. There isn't any obvious reason why there would be much delay once the pad is built; the engines have been on the test stand for a while.

Familiarize yourself with Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology. The final stage of heat deathโwhere all matter has dissipated through one process or another into energyโis indistinguishable from the moment of the Big Bang.
Groups or entities with sufficient control over the universe in the black hole era will be able to influence the distribution of matter in the next cycle, and probably encode themselves into it in some way.

That claim is bullshit. If you ask most astronomers these "super-ultra mahoosive structures" probably aren't even real. There is no objective definition of what is and is not a structure on the scales, none of it is gravitationally bound. It is defined entirely by the algorithm (code) used to find it. The issue is that if you run these people's codes on random data, it still detects "structures" of equal size. Spurious structures emerging from pure noise. Just because a code has detected something doesn't mean it is really significant.

I am currently experiencing the effects of post orgasmic illness syndrome, so the answer to that could be interpreted as a yes. However, rest assured that my interest in this planet is purely scientific and environmental in nature here and not anything to do with romance.
I just think it has a very interesting color scheme and atmosphere. A mysterious and strange alien world that on paper should be as boring as a barren rock with all history erased, but isn't nonetheless. I much prefer it to Mars.

Venus is just full of buzzkills, right down to the Venera missions. Measuring the compressability of the lens cap instead of the soil, along with with the lens fap failures were honestly some of the biggest JUST moments in space exploration thus far. Along with the fact the pressure and heat may not even be the main problem as opposed to the sulfuric acid dissolving everything. Oh and sending 2 probes for shits and giggles even if you already know they'll blow up is also kinda maddening but also morbidly amusing in its wastefulness.
If Venus had plate tectonics the greenhouse effect might have been delayed enough to form some more interesting features.

Plasma magnet thrust vector is always antistellar, but for a large KBO it makes sense to use an array of sails with different tether lengths to angle the overall thrust such that it reduces prograde orbital velocity and thus drops the orbit.

don't NTRs have like 650 isp and with enough propellant to reach a proper mass ratio considering how heavy the engine would be, there wouldn't be enough throost to take off?

That's LANTR you're thinking of. Initial T/W is about 13 with 500s Isp even at a retarded 7:1 oxygen ratio. IIRC the minimum T/W for useful first stage NTP is 20, so you'd still need chemical boosters.

it's the swing wing shuttle! started out as a triamese but then they ended up settling on a more conventional booster/orbiter two-stage concept. the vee-tail's all you needed for control during entry and then the wings popped out once you went subsonic. not a bad idea but nasa got skittish over what would happen if the wings failed to deploy.

Almost correct. A space economy needs trade to happen WITHIN space. The ISS is like McMurdo, an isolated science lab with government contracts for crew transfer and resupply. There's no "antarctic economy," it all happens at home. Similarly, a "space economy" requires people in space conducting trade with each other. This could be transfer between stations, it could be batched downmass services, it could be mining NEAs and the moon, it could be Lagrange point colonies selling food and electricity.

yeah but you're underrating how much and how fast perceptions shifted. in 1939 space travel was still a completely fringe idea with no reputable scientists advocating for it that no government was going to devote serious money to. the german VfR had to disband in 1934 for lack of funding and von braun was launching 900kg rockets 5km into the air for the army. it was only because of the war that the VfR alumni became the german rocket program in the first place.

>World's first! Jet/Rocket switching engine (Mixed system) Practical level of thrust has been successfully demonstrated!
>PD Aerospace Corporation has successfully demonstrated the world's first combustion of a โjet/rocket combined cycle engineโ based on detonation technology.
>In 2022, we successfully conducted an initial experiment of โjet/rocket switchingโ based on detonation technology. We have now developed this technology to integrate a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) with a conventional jet engine. The โJet/Rocket Combined Cycle Engineโ was successfully developed and demonstrated, and a practical level of thrust was achieved. The engine has achieved a practical level of thrust (Jet: 1.6 kN, Rocket: 5 kN).
>The new engine is a simple, compact, hollow, circular rocket engine that has been developed using detonation technology cultivated up to now, and is fused (hybridized) with a jet engine. This allows the engine to fly at high altitudes where ordinary aircraft cannot fly. This enables flight at high altitudes (20 km or higher) where the atmosphere is thin and supersonic speeds (Mach 5 or higher) are possible, which are not possible for ordinary aircraft.
>In the future, further development of this technology will lead to the main engine of a spaceplane, which will realize space travel and high-frequency spaceflight.

oh geee I didn't realize how close we were to having ZERO progress in aeronautics/rocketry during the 20th century due to those darn perceptions! You're right we probably would have taken a nice long refreshing nap as a civilization for about 60 years instead of doing what we did do, hey but maybe with all those resources freed up by not having that little kerfuffle going on from 39 to 45 we (or the Axis, or the USSR) could have at least put a man in orbit by 1999 don't you think? No, that would be pretty fanciful wouldn't it? Especially since there would have been no geo-political competition between power blocks in this magical alternate 20th century, oh and Nazi Germany was just kidding with all that Sanger bomber talk they had no interest in having any capabilities like that I'm sure.

Port of Duluth remains the most attractive launch location in all of great lakes. just need to get the laws changed so rockets can fly over boats.
Otherwise perhaps south of New Orleans would be a southern alternative. Security would need to shoot intruders on site due to shithole proximity

>just need to get the laws changed so rockets can fly over boats.
an easier solution might be officially recategorizing all boats on lake superior as landing barges so there's no legal issue if something falls on them

Can someone explain why there is no concept to cleansheet design a lunar landing archietecture using falcon 9? You can assemble a substantial stack in LEO in under a month even if it takes 10+ lanuches. NASA have always been shills of orbital assembly, have they got cold feet all of a sudden now that the opportunity to actually do it has arose?

A company can only do update-worthy things so fast anyway.
If you want more space-related progress updates/news to discuss then you should also look at news from outside the US. For example, there are progress updates/news from some Chinese space company almost every day (because there are so many of them).
