You remember how much trouble SpaceX used to have getting a continuous stream on Falcons from launch to landing? The existing TDRSS network is just not built for high-bandwidth functions like that, and because it's riding on a Centaur Starliner goes a lot further downrange before staging so line of sign comms are impossible. "Just adding starlink" would technically work, but it's also a design nightmare that Boeing really doesn't want to have to address.

No. They are working on Raptor 3 and Block 2 currently. Block 2 is the biggest hurdle aside from Raptor 3, and Block 3 can't happen until Raptor 3 is being made at scale. If there are delays with Raptor 3 then I could see Block 3 being pushed to 2026/7. Block 3 is otherwise very easy as it's basically just a taller version of Block 2 where as the bulk of Block 2's changes are in the Booster/Starship and not the engine.

Yeah, Zack proposed a theory that the stage separate damaged the hooks that hold the interstage to the booster and that's why it didn't release when it was supposed to which he backs up with footage and simulations in the video. This is potentially why the Booster lost control and came down at fucking Mach 1.

>Until recently, the telescopes on Maunakea were managed by the University of Hawaii, but in an attempt to work more closely with indigenous Hawaiians, management of the observatories has been handed over to the newly established Maunakea Authority. The Authority contains representatives from local government, the university, as well as the observatories themselves. It is also intended to feature people with experience and understanding of Hawaiian culture in order to help guide the most appropriate use of the mountain.
>As part of the handover — and as part of a deal to hopefully obtain a permit for construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope — the University of Hawaii has agreed to decommission three observatories on the mountain. Now, the first of these — the University of Hawaii Hilo's 36-inch Hōkū Keʻa Telescope, which was used for teaching — has been removed.
>removal of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO), which is much larger with a radio dish that's 10.4 meters (34 feet) in diameter. Having seen first light in 1986, the CSO actually closed in 2015 having been superseded by new instruments such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.
>The third telescope to be removed will be UKIRT, the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, a 3.8-meter (150-inch) telescope originally owned and managed by the U.K., but which, in 2014, was handed over to the University of Hawaii. Since then, it has continued operating in an automatic, unassisted mode.
They're all cucks but couldn't give two shits about a tiny teaching telescope and two outdated one's being removed. EBO is going to die within the next 20yrs anyway.

Hard to be excited when it probably won't make it through reentry, no guarantees of the RCS being fixed, or half the Raptors not succumbing to the sloshing when they attempt landing, desu. I expect slight progress then another month or two of waiting, not as much progress as last time unfortunately

SN10 does it dramatically faster and lower than SN15. 15 just sort of tilts down gradually using the Raptors, whereas 10 visibly slid horizontally through the air when it flipped. It is very anticlimactic

Boeing actually did more work. SpaceX got gibmedat technologies from NASA which is part of why they got a lower funding. Dragon 2 was a NASA capsule from start to finish in all but the design frills. the one substantive design element Musk wanted (propulsive landing) never happened. Everythign else was done in house by NASA and given to SpaceX. Boeing took it upon themselves to do almost all the design on Starliner.

>A5/Starliner CFT: NASA commentator: "The team here on the ground keeping an eye on the port side of the spacecraft, particularly the manifold valves, noticing some helium increasing (sic) coming out of that valve, so the team is going to step through procedures to close that valve."

Starliner has seven RCS thrusters on each of the four doghouses, for a total of 28. It's really looking like it was designed with hyper-massive redundancy as a necessary feature. "It doesn't matter that the shitty thrusters we bought from Aerojet fail all the time because we have so many of them!"

>That review did turn up something he called a “design vulnerability” with Starliner’s propulsion system where, in a rare circumstance, the spacecraft would not be able to perform a deorbit burn if two adjacent “doghouses” that contain RCS and larger orbital maneuvering and attitude control (OMAC) thrusters failed. That failure, he said, would knock out enough OMAC and RCS thrusters to prevent existing backup plans for carrying out a deorbit burn from being implemented.
>Engineers developed a new deorbit reentry mode that would use two burns of four RCS thrusters in that scenario. Such a failure mode would be “very remote,” Nappi said, appearing in less than one percent of potential combinations of failures.
as of right now they should be fine on coming back. they'd need many more failures before that'd be a concern.

idk about the docking, but they will surely get short of RCS fuel for re-entry. If they can't orient the main shield front for re-entry, chances are they will burn uncontrolledly. I don't think they will risk that much.

Lets see if they arrive safe first. A leak can rotate the capsule and the RCS will fire automatically to correct it, thus wasting even more fuel.
Worst case they are left tumbling in LEO preventing a dragon or soyuz rescue.

I'm sorry, but did Starliner already fail the mission? Oh, that's right. The mission isn't even over yet. In fact, it's only day 1. Does not having all your RCS jets on day 1 count as a mission failure? Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make these posts when the mission is still on? Boeing is still financially solvent right now and they have been the best company in the Commercial Crew program for how many years now? They're up against one of the worst companies in spaceflight who just happens to be ahead in crew launch because they're feeding off the energy of having a competitive fixed-cost contract. But you know what? They still fucking suck. Boeing is one of the best fucking contractors in spaceflight, they launched the biggest rocket ever 2 years ago and would've launched it again this year if fucking Lockheed didn't choke. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when the Chargers wins and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, S29 just lost another tile when it needed to keep it on, just like the S28 did. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a post on this general again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these anti-Boeing topics because you're a faggot hater who doesn't like the company because they're good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking corporations on the general, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your posts now, you're a retard.

It not a freak occurrence. OFT-1 had its own share of thruster failures which were written off as "not a real problem." It looks like it's just a trait that Starliner isn't going to escape without a serious redesign that no one wants to do. Boeing has to ride with it because when it comes to propulsion the only real options anyone has are build their own thrusters of buy them from aerojew, and Boeing doesn't have a space propulsion division.

They're up against one of the worst companies in spaceflight who just happens to be ahead in crew launch because they're feeding off the energy of having a competitive fixed-cost contract. But you know what? They still fucking suck. Boeing is one of the best fucking contractors in spaceflight, they launched the biggest rocket ever 2 years ago and would've launched it again this year if fucking Lockheed didn't choke. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when the Chargers wins and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, S29 just lost another tile when it needed to keep it on, just like the S28 did. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a post on this general again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these anti-Boeing topics because you're a faggot hater who doesn't like the company because they're good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking corporations on the general, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your posts now, you're a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don't you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That's just you, you're always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

As it stands, it doesn't. They have all the helium valves closed to try and stop the leaking. Carrying on with the mission like this is fucking madness, they need to abort. Although I wouldn't want to be riding the first shartliner with fucked up thrusters back through re entry. Non zero chance they open the valves to maneuver to the ISS and shit goes horribly wrong, leaves them tumbling, even if they manage to dock I'm pretty sure they will have to call off taking the shartliner back and call a SpaceX uber to collect them.

The biggest disapointment has been the tile system. They still can't get them to stick during liftoff, and elon said even one tile lost is expected to mean loss of vehicle. Should have went with active cooling

No I think just installing the hardware itself to allow transpirational cooling adds a ton of dry mass to the booster.
i.e. you are penalized with a hardier starship with all the plumbing needed to do this. It’s even heavier than the TPS tiles

My prediction from the start is that they're gonna frag a tower and then start landing it on droneships "temporarily". It'll be fine though cause they can already get an insane flight rate with falcons, tower landing isn't needed.

Divine intervention.
But really they have a built in way to compensate if it starts to turn or otherwise lose stability, and the engines do most all of the piloting once it gets subsonic. It's insanely impressive that the wing survived at all though, since it was already substantially weakened before hitting the most stressful portion of reentry. Just goes to show how sturdy stainless steel is, not like the tin—sorry, aluminum—can vessels of the past.

have to demonstrate a deorbit burn with starship before payloads, so one test flight at least
the booster might be able to test landing on the chopsticks already, the ship needs to demonstrate multiple back-to-back controlled landings before attempting tower catch and when they do block upgrades, they need to do the demonstrations again
this is so the ship doesn't blow up and scatter debris all over brownsville

The hardware is nowhere ready for reuse. So caught boosters would be scrapped for a long time. It's not necessary to do any missions. You have one tower and even if the damage isnt catastrophic it just delays launches that can be testing everything else. Just be patient and build another tower. There's also little question if the tower catch is possible, so it's not some uncertainty looming over the project that needs demonstration

If Starliner can't safely dock with the ISS (without risking many more lives) and can't de-orbit then extreme options have to be pursued. Only other option would be getting a Dragon to dock to it and rescue them, which would be a much better option if possible. They're up a very tall creek currently and their paddles keep breaking.

You're actually backwards. In Hollywood space kills instantly (though this is changing as people become aware). In real life most experts agree, though obviously no one has tried it, that space would be survivable for at least some number of seconds if medical attention could be rendered fast enough. But it's not necessary. They have pressure suits. Like I said, it's just whether the temperatures and radiation could be tolerated for the time it takes to go a few hundred feet. I was just curious whether that would be feasible in an emergency.

I'm not sure if anyone's ever seriously thought about doing it in real life, but it should technically work. The androgynous part means that there shouldn't be any technical difference between the stationary station ports and the mobile ship ports. You'd just designate Starliner as the stationary object and then have Dragon pull up to it.

>Active and passive docking roles
>During a docking maneuver, one vehicle assumes the "active" role and the other vehicle assumes the "passive" role. A particular IDSS port can be manufactured to be able to act in the active role, the passive role, or either role. If a port (e.g., the ones on the ISS) is passive-only, then the other spacecraft must implement the active role. If a port is active-only (e.g., the ports on Crew Dragon and Cargo Dragon, and Starliner), then the other spacecraft must implement the passive role. This means that spacecraft with active-only ports cannot dock with each other using these ports.[

I think the camera facing backwards might've been obliterated, which was why they didn't switch to it at the end.

>it's just whether the temperatures
Total physician here: but does temperature matter? ISS is in a vacuum, it has trouble getting rid of heat rather than losing it. Not enough particles to steal your heat by convection/conduction so you're only losing it by radiation.
Being on the moon is different though because there's a thing you stand on that has particles and it gets cold and hot.
Seems like the #1 issue is whether you have oxygen. So: if you strap a SCUBA tank to your face hard enough, would you be okay?

Thoughts on Japan, they basically have their own oldspace, but it is not degenerated to the same degree as the US's. They also have a tiny, basically unfunded new space.

only small part of it, stickies autodelete comments when it goes over 1000
that seems to start only after the coast phase, so it misses like 2h, misses the booster landing for instance
