I make everyone around me upset because I literally only care about space when it comes to politics. They try to argue but I'm like "Trump was better for space". Still can't believe how good Jim Bridenstine was at playing the game. Meanwhile Bill Nelson missed the opportunity to tell congress that China has already put a lander in the far side of the moon because he thinks we still don't know what it looks like back there. He could've doubled the budget with one sentence. Fuck I hope trump wins, just one person needs to tell him he could be the president that lands on the moon before China and he'd emergency executive order $1t to NASA

You could executive order a hundred trillion to NASA right now and nothing would change except boing and friends would make more money. It's not a funding problem, the whole institution is fucked from the top down and it's pure fucking luck that SpaceX happened or we would still be in the dark ages and begging Russian for Soyuz rides, which would be sort of awkward after we sanctioned the shit out of them.

why do you think more money would solve it? look at how much time and money has been used for SLS
its a competence problem and a management problem, not a money problem
you have diversity hires forced to work on retarded projects trying to jump through retarded hoops due to congress
not sure what is worse in this case but looking at something like JPL then giving more freedom without sensible management might not work either
but at least the rube goldberg machines that JPL is doing is more interesting than SLS
the problem is then that they try to monopolize the whole area and block anyone else so their funding doesn't get cut (which in retrospect was warranted, but perhaps they should have just worked on non-retarded shit=

One of the things which baloons budget is the amount of time wasted. I'm saying if there was political will then Starliner would just fly sooner even if it was less safe, so it would overall cost less. Likewise if SLS simply had a higher cadence then it would cost as low as 400 mil per launch instead of 2+ billion.

It's at least partially a funding problem. Most of the bad parts of Artemis and JPL's coonery were built to avoid Congress or a President sperging out and canceling them. That's also why NASA keeps punting on Venus missions.

I don't think you're fully considering the counterfactual. In a world without spacex it wouldn't just be starliner that nasa funded, there were other options. BO's biconic capsule and dreamchaser. BO bowed out itself so the second award would've certainly gone to dream chaser.
If dreamchaser got commercial crew funding, would it be flying right now? Maybe, since it looks like the cargo version is gonna fly before starliner does I think it's a good bet it beats boing.

Yeah, it's the same rebuttal as always. SpaceX is focused on step one. I don't know why these retards don't understand that. Imagine if step one is delayed or fails because they devoted resources to step 2 through 100,000. Cheap mass to Mars is the only thing that matters because literally everything beyond that step is reliant on it.

Wrong architect.
Early on mass build up of cargo/robots. With no return trajectory. Later on small crew for lifetime duration colonization missions with lifetime supply of basic necessities (dry compacted food/energy/health care). ISRU/green house to be established early on during the early cargo missions with robots for proof of concept. You build up from there.
When you start with wrong assumptions, you fail to reach accurate conclusions.

Being able to return is essential. For later stage colonization process. Not early on. Early on, its a detriment. For the first 10-30 years, its an absolute waste of energy. All the energy used by ISRU for return fuel could have instead been used to build up a base and power the entire early colonization process.
You missed the fact that Musk isn't taking SpaceX to mars as a rich tourism flight. He wants a full on self sustaining colonization. Not a 30 day stay and return nonsense.

After 20-30 years, hopefully couple hundreds could be on Mars living as a family/society/functioning civlization. It would still depend on earth for resources but hopefully enough to establish food and energy independence via solar/carbohydrates and green house. Maybe some chemicals needs to be exported from earth every now and then.

I hate to use the term "kerbal" but this rocket sure is. They strapped a bunch of Mercury cores together because they didn't have the tooling to make a single tank that diameter. More weight, less propellant.

Save money. If they don't need the efficiency from the larger nozzle, they will make the smaller one because Inconel is expensive as fuck and you aren't retrieving the engine.

Because the niobium alloy the engine bell is made of is fairly expensive. Shortening the nozzle wrecks the MVac's isp, but it also saves a lot of money, so it makes sense to shorten it when the Falcon is launching a payload that would normally be way to small for its capability. That's why you always see the short nozzle used on RTLS launches.

I posted this on /k/ but didn't get any traction so thought I'd repost here.
Infantry-infantry engagements on the Moon won't really exist.
>>There will be no Fog of War.
In the early days of Moon colonization, a Moon variant of Starlink will be deployed to the Moon, and it will have a constellation of hundreds or thousands of satellites in orbit. Each of these satellites will have many sensors and relays, so a real-time tracking of everything on the surface of the Moon is likely. Because there are so many satellites, the system is robust to losing a few with no system degradation. Also, with the way the orbits would be set up (assuming orbits of 100km, the satellites are going ~1.633 km/s and completing orbits in 117.8 minutes, plus precession) you won't see the same satellite for a long time. Also, because there's no atmosphere on the moon, all adversary rockets and satellites can be trivially tracked because altering course by burning propellant is quite easy to see.
>>Missiles.
Ok, so hypothetically the adversary has a bunch of infantry that leave their habitat and trek across the Moon surface (on foot and/or in rovers) and head towards your base. You would first warn the troops and their leaders. If they do cross your border, you can attack them with missiles. They cannot hide from the missiles. And because there's so little gravity and no atmosphere, missiles are hugely better than on Earth. The size of lunar ballistic missiles will be tiny. Like MANPADS tiny. Using some basic assumptions on a Javelin, if you shoot it at 45 degrees on the Moon it will go 2500km and hit in 30 minutes. Obviously with lunar-optimized systems these could be improved. The Javelin has about a 1kg explosive payload, which means a lethal radius of ~100m on Earth. On the Moon, the lethal radius of 1kg warhead would be far bigger (no atmosphere to slow down the splinters), and the spacesuits would be far more fragile.

SpaceX is going to keep pushing Falcon 9 as hard as they can for as long as that's their best option, but the launch rate is going to fall of hard once Starship starts finding its legs. A could easily see a 200 launch year, but 400 wouyld need either a major setback with Starship or an outright failure of the project. Also, you can't really dodge the "w/o weather delays" issue. There are not 365 good launch days in a year and 400 launches would functionally have Falcon 9 launching daily.
I still really want to see it too. Falcon 9 is what the Space Shuttle was originally sold as. With Falcon 9 as it currently is we could handle all commercial launches, build a Freedom-class space station, and then use that station as a staging point for a permanent manned lunar program.

Is it even possible to have like a small capsule or ride ship that only traverses in the orbit in an extremely efficient manner? Ideally carrying ~1-2 tons of cargo+2-3 crews. As a means of transportation between different space stations. Between Earth/Moon orbit. It would only be for orbital flights to/from orbital stations

What would be an extreme example? Maybe one station in polar orbit and another in an equatorial orbit? Suppose you had to send 2T of cargo from one to the other - would it be “cheaper” (Delta V wise) to just land the cargo on Earth with a Starship and send it back up to the other station?

for a situation like that the cheapest way to do it in terms of delta v would be a bielliptic plane change and it'd probably cost like 6 km/s. you'd also have to pass through the van allen belts to do it which is something you'd really rather avoid if you had crew. if we're imagining a world where starship launches are cheap and reliable then that'd be a much better option.

Prob not directly, but there could be other pressures on him from other people who might be pushing. But its likely just a matter of time. What do you imagine is the most likely and probable safe time line for when a hypothetical dearMoon project would come to be? 2024/2025 is an absolutely no go imo. 2026 is possible. 2027 too. Now that I think about it, there maybe other constraints like NASA being prioritized which may push dearMoon off further into 2028 or so.

So, when starliners thrusters shit the bed due to this leak that will no doubt be exacerbated or even blow out because of the launch and the astronauts are left stuck floating in some random orbit, what options to save them even are there? Can they scramble a dragon to dock with starliner? It's the same docking port as ISS so I assume so. But if starliner is tumbling badly then they are pretty much fucked right?

>In the meantime, Maezawa's priorities also likely changed. According to Forbes, when the plan was announced in 2018, the entrepreneur had a net worth of about $3 billion. Today he is estimated to be worth only half of that. Additionally, he scratched his itch to go to space in 2021, flying aboard a Russian Soyuz vehicle for a 12-day trip to the International Space Station.

buddy you know this is bullshit. Or maybe you don't know, I'm not sure which is worse.
It's the same material, same kind of melting temperature, same inability to survive lunar entry velocities. All objects designed for those entry velcoities use ablator because non ablatives arent viable. But ask musk said ablator would weight too much.

Nobody is going to fix hardware like gryos for free. They were only ever talking about boosting the orbit, which is becoming ever more pointless because it's going to fail before it burns up. Polaris doesn't have the hardware or the experience to actually consider a real servicing mission.

A slip beyond June 6 could lead to a significantly longer delay. Steve Stich, NASA commercial crew program manager, said at a May 31 prelaunch briefing that ULA would need time to replace batteries in the rocket if the vehicle does not launch by June 6. Gary Wentz, vice president of government and commercial programs at ULA, said that battery replacement work would take about 10 days.

I addressed it in the dedicated thread. The paper is impotent seethe that wouldn't make it past academia. Step one is cheap mass to mars, spacex is solving step one. That's it! It is that simple. If you see holes then you should get to work filling them so the future biggest company in the world buys your product. Or you could write a seethe paper and do nothing

In 2016 I remember thinking this was impossible, not because the rocket might not be finished, but because they were not putting any work or money into the equipment needed to build a base on mars. The only comparison is the ISS life support system and they were casually mentioning a life support system that was many times more complex and 20 times bigger.

It is two separate issues. Having the rocket doesn't change base development time.
>>16205003
They said this about solar panels and batteries. That just isn't the same as what would need to be a triple redundant life support system. This is a complex piece of engineering. It might take a decade of development time itself. ISS requires constant resupply from Earth and it is a quick escape pod ride home. This is not easy engineering.

The point is it's impossible to return from Mars because 1. the delta v requirementis greater than what the ship has, and 2. the earth entry velocity would destroy the ship. 2. is the same reason why dearmoon was impossible actually, and at some point the jap guy realised.
