Ok but for real, what happens if there is a stricken spacecraft docked to the ISS that is unable to perform a controlled departure from the station? Do they give it a toss with the canadarm like that battery pack? Leave it there as a storage closet? No way the can fix it with an EVA, right? Surely NASA has a contingency plan for this.

>Do they give it a toss with the canadarm like that battery pack?
That would depend on if it has an attachment point that the arm can latch onto. I do not think that it does
>Leave it there as a storage closet?
They'd have to for the short term. It can't leave under its own or any other power and the station tends to find a way to make use of any available volume. The Bigelow test module ended up as a generic storage space once it defaulted over to NASA control.
The really big issue would be that for as long as it's blocking one of the two docking ports on the American segment you can't have Crew and Cargo Dragons docked at the same time. The people in charge of scheduling crew rotations and resupply are going to be boldly discovering new levels of Hell.
>Surely NASA has a contingency plan for this
For something as bad as this? Probably not. The best they can realistically do is pray extra hard that it doesn't happen.

Because it was a requirement back then, the N1 was spec'ed out as a ballistic missile in addition to a launch vehicle. The 1962 version had a 75 ton payload capacity to LEO and was expected to carry enough warheads to be able to annihilate the United States in a single launch.

How financially viable would a Hubble-equivalent private space telescope be?
I can't find any solid data on what it costs to get time on one of the big telescopes, either space or ground. Do research teams even "pay" for that with grant money or do they just submit proposals and get assigned priority appropriately?
Between straight-up renting time on the thing and employing an office full of grant proposal writers to vacuum up government and institution money, what might the ROI look like on a project like that? I bet you could build and run a better version of that thing for so much cheaper without the usual government bloat.

Honestly the FAA shouldn't have proclaimed test #3 a mishap, either. Good that they're seeing sense now.
The only one which required government involvement was #1 (because of the launchpad) and even that was a Texas problem.

Chuck the fucker retrograde, either with Canadarm like you said or send some astronauts out there to give 'er a heave. Once it's far enough away, use whatever control authority is has left, if any, to slow down even more so its orbit decays sooner.

I hate to be the devil’s advocate fag but
I know these types of dudes. Yes it is innocuous humor. But at a certain point it gets annoying/weird, especially if you know “engineer personality” people. I don’t think it’s outlandish to think that Musk (as much as I bend the knee and worship his autism for progressing us 50+ yrs forward in spaceflight) is probably letting a ton of weird, awkward autism slide at the senior-level; resulting in very very strange interactions at his companies. I hate to say it but doing shit like having IVF children with a subordinate is VERY fucking weird. Making penis jokes when you’re a hyper-smart but hyper-awkward twink when there are smart women in the room adjoining you at the white board is weird.

reminder what berger said 5 days ago:
>The microscopic structural cracks are located inside the small PrK module on the Russian segment of the space station, which lies between a Progress spacecraft airlock and the Zvezda module. After the leak rate doubled early this year during a two-week period, the Russians experimented with keeping the hatch leading to the PrK module closed intermittently and performed other investigations. But none of these measures taken during the spring worked.
>the Russian leaks are now classified as a "5" both in terms of high likelihood and high consequence. Their potential for "catastrophic failure" is discussed in meetings.

We're not seeing a mass evac of the station it's probably not a hull breach. There was an American spacewalk coming up that would have involved Crew-8 commander Matthew Dominick, so that could be the commander that was mentioned. The audio we got was a SpaceX flight surgeon and there was mention of "post splashdown," so I think the most likely read of the very limited info we have is that there was a incident in the pre-walk prep and Endeavour might be getting ready for an emergency return to Earth.

Here is a full transcript of the radio traffic in question from the NASA ISS live stream:
So if we could get a commander back in his suit, get it sealed and step into procedure 5.180 for suited hyperbaric treatment, section three for oxygen post-splashdown, that would be my recommendation. How copy?
Copy. Understand that this is a best effort treatment, and so whatever you can do is going to be better than doing nothing. And just as an FYI, prior to sealing, closing the visor and pressurizing the suit, I would like you to check his pulse one more time. How copy?
Correct, yes. That would be, actually, Sif [sp?], you're on this call. How much oxygen do we have remaining in minutes?
Perfect, so yes, then I would like you to have 100% O2 flowing via mask while you get the suit on. Prior to closing the visor and pressurizing, I'd like you to do a pulse check one more time, and then step into 5.180, section three.
Is there a way that the mask can be attached? So is there a way that we could get the suit over the head, have the visor open, and put the mask at least close to his face while you finish sealing up the suit, or is that not feasible?
Copy. Copy.

>>16231258
Well, I think at this point, because the hypobaric exposure is the big problem, and given his exam, I am concerned that there are some severe DCS hits, and so I would recommend trying to get him in the suit as soon as possible, and giving oxygen as best as able during that process, but the best thing would be to get him in the suit ASAP.
Thank you. Just as a FYI for you, I am still about one hour out from MCC-X. Unfortunately, we will need to keep doing the phone situation until I am able to be there. I am currently stuck in traffic.
While we don't have other flight surgeons on call, while I am stuck in traffic, I can reach out to see if there's anyone who can get there sooner than one hour. That being said, there really isn't anything we could do in person that we can't do over the phone at this point. Unfortunately, the prognosis for Commander is relatively tenuous, I'll say, at this point, to keep it generic.
One thing, I don't know if you got this message before, but I did find a, through Dan, I did find a hospital in Spain that has critical care facilities and hyperbaric treatment facilities. Would you like me to give you that hospital and their phone number again?
Okay, so that is San Carlos, S-A-N-C-A-R-L-O-S, in San Fernando, spelled the normal way, and that's in the province of Cadiz, C-A-D-I-Z, in Spain. And that phone number is country code XXXXX . Again, that number is country code XXXXX. How copy?
Copy. In the meantime, I will continue my trek in. Otherwise, I will see if a flight surgeon can be there sooner, and then you are free to call me with any updates or any changes. If the crew do get suited and start the treatment and they make a call down, I would request to be updated at that point. Thank you very much. Anything else I can do for you, Sif? Thank you, bye.

To state the obvious, your financial viability would hinge on cutting up costs and then minimizing your operating costs. Can't say much about the business case though.
>cutting up front costs
The obvious thing to do would be to trade manufacturing complexity for mass where it makes sense and take advantage of COTS parts as much as possible. For launch costs, you'd bank on starship's supposed low $/kg to orbit, but depending on dimensions though you may be able to get by with a Falcon 9 in some configuration.
>cut operating costs
Big difference between now and the early 90s is the capability and power draw requirement vs size and cost of computers. You could have a lot of on board processing done to minimize/optimize data that needs to be downloaded through the DSN, or even better yet, use starlink some how instead of the DSN. Once your data is on the ground, hopefully your private enterprise would be much leaner and more efficient with its manpower than a public entity to keep salary costs down.
>business case
There's only so many university astronomy departments with only so much budget to spend on imagery. If that adds up to be more than what you manage to get your cost down to, then sure, viable, but probably not

From what I've been hearing, if Dragon makes an emergency undocking soon, they will be splashing down by Spain.
I feel like of them got depressurized, and they are going to do an emergency landing to try and save him. I've seen divers who come up too quickly puff up from the rapid drop in pressure, but this is a whole different environment. I think we may have our first death in space.

You need to leave on the ship you arrived on. A Russian Sokol suit wouldn't be able to hook up to the life support systems on Dragon or Starliner. You could just pile everyone in without suits but NASA would only go for that if the station suffered a major breach, and the Commander needs to be suited up and linked into an oxygen source for the current treatment to work.

A pressure regulation valve opened well ahead of schedule and depressurized the capsule prior to reentry. This was back when Soyuz crews were even more mass-constrained than they are now, so there wasn't a budget (or room) for them to wear pressure suits as a part of normal operations.

>At approximately 5:28 p.m. On the CDT, the sound was broadcast live by NASA over a simulated audio link on the ground, indicating that the crew member was experiencing effects associated with decompression sickness (DCS). This audio was inadvertently garbled from an ongoing simulation in which crew and ground crews train for various scenarios in space, and does not relate to a real emergency.

Don't make it out of expensive materials then? Starship allows the use of cheap n heavy materials like glass over beryllium. you also don't need complex mechanisms. I bet you could get the cost down a fair amount and make a Hubble successor pretty easily. There would be tradeoffs In capability but that's something you would discuss with the scientific community at large to address their needs.
If you make the whole thing automated it could run 24/7 on a schedule without management.

Also this. If you leave it up there as long as Hubble has been up then you get your money back and make a profit.

Do a joint DoD/private sector project. Harvard alone has an endowment of over 50 billion dollars. Split the cost of the telescope 50/50. Pitch it as a NEO detector, and then have all of the different Unis who would want to use it kick in a percent of the cost of the development in order to gain access to the data and time on the scope. Hell, if you want to make an it an international project, then expand it to include different organizations and unis that aren't American. 2 billion sounds like a lot, but if the DoD covers half, that's 1, and if the rest kick in 50 million each (shit they could find in their sofas) then you would easily be able to take care of the construction of the telescope.

You still need a good mirror. Those are always expensive at hubble scales, even for dirtside telescopes that don't need to worry about mass constraints.
Honestly, your best bet is probably going to be some kind of big interferometry constellation. Pick the best optics you can and then buy them in bulk. Operating a flock of a few dozen networked satellites will let you get away from bespoke problems and make it easier to continuously maintain and upgrade they system.

One of its potential capabilities I like this it won't cost 2 bil though. Also we are talking about more than one telescope. I'm talking about like a dozen so you get economies of scale on the expensive parts. Imagine 12 bigger than Hubble optical space telescopes operating in orbit. You could do so much with that.

Yeah I'm aware but the mirror isn't going to cost 2 billion and even if it's several hundred thousand dollars or even a million per mirror that will be the bulk of the cost of the telescope and the rest can be done a lot cheaper than Hubble.

Never underestimate engineers and their creative ways to cut costs. If you aren't paying the premium aerospace prices for parts you can get away with a much cheaper telescope. Also again, Hubble was mass constrained. This telescope has over 100tons to work with. There is basically no mass constraint here. No need for lightweight composite or aluminum. You can use steel and other suitably strong and heavy parts.

The problem with mirrors is time. One of the main reasons why they do segmented mirrors in the first place is because they take less time to grind and polish than huge single mirrors do. Going back to Magellan, it took them something like 13 years to grind and polish all of the mirrors. There is probably a way to cheat this with laminates, but what the fuck do I know?

The primary mirror would form within a huge circular frame and remain in liquid state with an extremely smooth surface for collecting light. >FLUTE’s technology approach is theoretically able to scale up to very large sizes.

smaller terrestrial worlds like Earth however the only real way is for them is if they perfectly aligned with us and their parent star which is rare.

based on my sample size of 1 star system where I definitively know how many gas giants there are and roughly know how many terrestrial planets there are. I'm going to say the terrestrial planet to gas giant ratio is 12ish to 4.
I assure you this holds true in all places and at all times throughout the universe

damn, whenever I see antares I think back to what could have been had orbital sciences won out against spacex in commercial cargo. Falcon 9 is a very different rocket from what first launched in 2010 and antares has received zero upgrades. they were both a similar size and now antares looks goofily small compared to falcon. We could live in a world where orbital sciences and ula grifted commercial cargo for a bit, and where the most exciting thing in spaceflight is new Glenn. No doubt all the other rocket startups would have not received VC money without the example of SpaceX.

Some projections are putting peak population by 2100, and the lions share of pop. growth between now and then will be in Sub-Saharan Africa, but even birth rates there are starting to fall. Not a single advanced industrialized country (aka places that care about and are advancing technology by producing highly skilled workers) has a positive native birthrate. This is very bad news for everyone. By the time millennials are hitting retirement age there will be a deep demographic crisis in every western nation. Japan, China, Korea will probably get there a decade or so earlier earlier. This will probably mean a prolonged period of economic and scientific stagnation and the end of any notion of colonizing space.

How much do telescopes cost?
>Hubble ~$8 billion (in today's dollars)
>Webb ~$10 billion
>Roman ~$3.2 billion
And $4 million probably isn't even enough to pay for the ongoing operations staffing, at least not at anywhere near the level of these telescopes.
I think your business model is wrong, though, because it turns out there's a ton of for-profit satellite telescopes. They're just pointed down at the Earth. GIS is big money because (unlike astronomy) it's actually useful. That's 'useful' in the sense of "the people paying for it can use the information to make more money than it cost to use."

I would imagine that SpaceX would get an emergency order to mobilize 1 or more Crew Dragon capsules that are slated for the next commercial or ISS mission, with priority launch asap to the station. The capsules would sit in a parking orbit outside the 200m no-entry zone. One by one they'd enter as lifeboats to offload the crew complement and then the ISS becomes a rogue object. Which is a mega yikes.
Worse, if everyone is offloaded from the ISS, then there's also a complete breakdown of relations between US and Russia, as there's an agreement that any given time, ISS must be populated by US astronauts and 1 Russian (if I remember correctly on the details).

I imagine is a specific procedure that would be used by the extraction crew to pull out an astronaut in need of an emergency on the boat. Hence the procedure specifics. Essentially: go to the checklist for what you do when the capsule is in the water and you need to pull for emergency and repeat on the ISS until you can get the person stabilized. Everything said is said explicitly and there's no hidden meaning bullshit. Anyone trying to read between the lines is a fucking moron and should be dismissed. Ain't nobody got time for 21 questions.

SpaceX would sacrifice a Crew Dragon capsule for NASA in the event of an emergency of this magnitude. NASA can always back pay them for the loss as part of the emergency sortie or whatever later. Trying to nickel and dime in the middle of an emergency is peak faggotry and no aerospace company, not even Boing, would resort to that. Plus the PR win of a company sacrificing a capsule to ensure an astronaut in emergency got to care in time vastly eclipses the loss of the vehicle as a result.

Elon started spacex and every lead engineer he interviewed wasn't good. He said this openly over a decade ago. The mocked him, called him a con artist and fraud. He and another engineer designed everything from programming to engine to landing struts and pad. Up until falcon heavy that was the set up
Other guy retired Elon handed it off. Falcon heavy stalled Elon came back designed the starship and raptors as well fixed heavy then left again.
Starship and raptors stall Elon comes back raptors 2, 3 then starship is launching every 4 months
Still to this day retards will deny he designed everything. No one else can do what he does with rockets. He's tried to step away. He always has to come back and advance them boring, then 4 Tesla plants completing the Twitter

No. They would either been torn apart by the dynamic forces upon ejection, and/or their parachutes would be burnt by the passing SRB plumes.

oh come on. look how many places there are to eject that aren't in the plume. eject to the left. eject to the right. eject straight down and just wait 200 feet to deploy the chute. it's not that hard. worst case you get a little dust on it.

>baby's first lesson in demographics
A 1000 years ago the world population was still on its slow linear climb it had been on since antiquity. The only reason population was growing at all was because of the social dynamics that lead to very high birthrates. Women had pretty much no access to contraception, education, or economic prospects outside of home making, among many other factors. Today the dynamic is totally reversed and any woman who would go to mars is going to be a highly educated, driven, career oriented woman who will face all the same pressures on Mars that are cratering birthrates in advanced economies, but x1000.

Tesla's valuation is mostly based on expectations of Tesla solving self-driving and other quite possibly AGI-tier problems, it is grossly inflated if compared to other car or energy companies, therefore if you were to expect the market to be rational or """efficient""" (it isn't), Tesla would have to make true on that to justify its valuation (or actually become the sole carmaker on the planet, but considering how their car business is suffering right now, that's not happening anytime soon). Elon has been pumping the stock to stay at that valuation by promising FSD to be ready in the following year every year for close to a decade now, the current carrot is the Robotaxi reveal later this year while the current iteration of "FSD" is clearly still not able to fulfil that moniker and Tesla's investor relations is telling analysts that there won't be robotaxi revenues for years.

Better information I guess (not lying to your shareholders would help, too)? But ultimately some of it will always be based on vibes and opinions so perfect efficiency isn't possible anyways. Either way that wasn't my point, I was just describing one aspect of the current state of Tesla.

This metric fails to take into account that a statistically significant portion of the population by 2050 will begin moving offworld to the Moon, Mars, and across the belt. 10Bn for Earth is just fine. It's a bigger issue if the curve isn't exponential on the Moon, Mars, and the belt. Then there's cause for concern. An infinite growth for the Earth is not sustainable accounting for the constant bickering and conflicts that persist across the planet with parties willing to toss nukes over whose sky fairy came first--even though, logically, they're all the same fucking fairy.
