>Anduril, a defense contractor known for its use of robotics and artificial intelligence in military drones, has set its sights on becoming a major supplier of solid rocket motors to the Pentagon. The company last year acquired the startup Adranos, which invented a fuel called Alitec — a mixture of lithium and aluminum to power solid rocket motors used in tactical missiles and space launch vehicles.

American space flight progress is insulting and depressing but I hope that all the focus on defending Israel is worth it. Meanwhile China and even India is not just catching up but ahead of us.
The Boeing disaster was humiliating and I'm just glad they didn't kill anyone.
We lost the science and capability to do spcaeflight because American Jews demanded to rewrite history and science to remove anything that's slightly perceived as antisemitism. If I could explain the ginormous amount of resources and money that goes into shit like the Iron Dome (trillions in just cash) it would be insane.

Probably not. Apollo was still cool even 40 years later because what came after Apollo was disappointing and lame in comparison. This time spaceflight progress isn't likely to to halt and revert; it's going to keep progressing. F9 and SS/SH probably aren't going to remain "the coolest thing" for long, just like the Redstone rocket didn't remain "the coolest thing" for long.

How likely is it that the real target date Xi has given for Chinese on the moon is October 2028?
There's a significant risk Artemis 3 will slip beyond 2028. Xi knows it would cause a political shock in the US if Chinese astronauts are walking on the moon while US astronauts remain grounded. It could have some effect the US election, and Xi could use his ability to order a landing either before or after the US election for leverage. US elections are usually quite close.

Second mission: manned launch of capsule and lander and docking in lunar orbit
Third mission: moon landing
Or they gonna make it like apollo so more missions?

You know all the startups exist in the wake of SpaceX and NONE of them are profitable. SpaceX itself isnt even profitable. ULA is so pathetic because they are the only for profit launch complany, the space launch market is very small and almost all these startups will go bust in 20 years time. There was a similar explosion in space companies around apollo and they all went bust during the shuttle era. Even rockwell who made the damn shuttle.

Elon's manifesting of sucess even against the market is not usual. Most people are cynical and seek profit, once Musk is no longer around then if SpaceX is not profitable it will be trimmed until it becomes profitable. That means no more epic space ship development programs. Just starlink launches until the cosntellation is complete, then the winding down of Falcon to just a few flights a year to manitain the constellation.

>Warp drives are exotic solutions of general relativity that offer novel means of transportation. In this study, we present a solution for a constant-velocity subluminal warp drive that satisfies all of the energy conditions. The solution involves combining a stable matter shell with a shift vector distribution that closely matches well-known warp drive solutions such as the Alcubierre metric. We generate the spacetime metric numerically, evaluate the energy conditions, and confirm that the shift vector distribution cannot be reduced to a coordinate transformation. This study demonstrates that classic warp drive spacetimes can be made to satisfy the energy conditions by adding a regular matter shell with a positive ADM mass.

What the fuck is your problem? If SpaceX cut back all development and stuck with F9 for 20 yeras they would be profitable now. But that ISNT the real world. In the real world they are not profitable due to their tremendous R&D budget. WTF are you so mad about?

You are the retard buddy. It's fact that no space companies apart from ULA are profitable. That is to say, the dynamism and rapid development we are seeing is unsustainable without FOMO venture capital. Musk is incredible at generating FOMO to fund his ventures even when they never turn a profit, im not dissing him or SpaceX, but if SpaceX actually tried to run a balanced budget tomorrow they would have to scrap Starship. Fact.

I think I read somewhere that four test launches of CZ-10 were planned. I can't remember where though, or how authoritative that source was.
If that's the case, I think those launches would be
1. Unmanned test of CZ-10 as well as Mengzhou including a high energy return, similar to the first launch of SLS except with a fully functional capsule
2. Unmanned test of Lanyue
3 & 4: Unmanned full mission including docking, landing, ascent, docking and return to Earth

yeah, they decided on a design a year ago. historically landers always end up being the pacing item for this sort of thing because they require the most mass autism and the most redesigning. you're going to see unmanned LEO test flights of a lander well before they try putting boots in the regolith.

Besides the unproven hypothesis of dark matter and few alternative theories of gravity where a considerably small amount of matter is required to produce the same gravitational field strength, nothing really appears plausible to exclude one or the other from the cosmic substratum. To explain the force field that binds galaxies and clusters together a new theory has been proposed with the intent to find a time-independent metric-tensor solution to the Einstein field equations. The heuristic approach demonstrated the stability of galaxies rotation through a flat stellar shell or a galactic rotational curve operating like an equipotential (isothermal) sphere shaped by massless topological defects created during the early universe. Astronomical observations and mathematical analysis supports this model comparing localized gravitational fields capable of flat rotation, i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii.

you'd imagine that alot of it is already costed or paid for by contracted launches, especially on the starlink/starshield side, spending is a lot more speculative on starship where the only current contract is the HLS stuff

In 40 years, there'll be a sizable presence on the Moon and Mars assuming no major wars or biological threats that lead to major regressions. At point which, large scale mining efforts will be underway in the belt. The real struggle is between 2024 and 2040, everything after 2040 goes exponential. I wouldn't be surprised if by 2050, LUVOIR-B will have already launched and observing the universe for at least half a dozen years or more with potential captures of Alpha Centauri and/or Proxima Centauri planetary bodies. Which in turn will spur colony ship building towards the stars. We went from nothing to industrial revolution to splitting the atom in under 50 years. We went from splitting the atom to putting a man on the moon in half that time. We went from that to squeezing the compendium of human knowledge into a piece of manufactured glass in a similar amount of time and then went from that to developing AI models in half that time. Human progress is starting to see exponential growth in terms of discovery and applicability.
The next 12-15 years is a repeat of the progress curve as the last 2 sets of 12.5-15, before another big leap is likely to occur in half that time: 6-8 effective. The biggest limiting factor for acceleration of human progress over the next 40 years is accessibility to vast amounts of energy incredibly cheaply.

There's no such thing as "already paid for". Because if they didn't they'd have the extra lofty money. But I'm just saying Musks enemies might make the expansion costly. Giga Mexico was supposed to start this year, but due to negative political and media attacks on Tesla, the receptiveness/demand has gone down a bit. So I worry about Boring Company's expansion a bit. Not so much about Starlink or Starship.

Leaving aside geopolitics, ideally the goal is to get all humanity involved in space exploration. It is not an accident that ESA, JAXA and CNSA all do different things. They are all advancing the goal of space exploration by all possible means and are naturally trying to avoid duplicating the efforts of another space agency (aside from, you know, not sharing rocket and instrument design). Russia could still be part of space exploration if they truly desired it. Their Venus probe for instance is still the only mission to that planet likely to launch in a decade

Dragonfly may be the most ambitious science mission NASA has ever attempted: sending a car-sized, nuclear-powered octocopter to explore the surface of a distant ocean world.
In a voyage straight out of science fiction, Dragonfly will deliver the most expansive suite of science instruments ever dispatched to another celestial body. Dragonfly will cover more than 50 miles of the organics-rich Titan surface, landing, collecting and returning results that could change our understanding of life in the universe.

I once had a book called Atlas: Story of a Missile, the author's name was "chapman" I think? Anyway I destroyed it when I was a dumb teen and regret it now decades later that I'm actually interested in the subject matter. I haven't been able to find a PDF of it though, it's an old book. I'd like to read it one day. Thank you for reading my blog

The Atlas was originally operated by General Dynamics, but they sold off their space systems division to Martin Marietta in 1994, shortly before MM merged with Lockheed who was building the Titan IV. The EELV competition also kicked off around that time and there was a lot of uncertainty if Lockheed-Martin's new vehicle would be an Atlas or a Titan; some materials from the time refer to it as the "Titan V." The Atlas name ended up winning out in the end, partly because Titan had a bad run of high profile RUDs in the early 90s. The Atlas family had to pass through the Atlas III as an intermediary step to give the new Russian engines a trial run, and that started its own development cycle under the name "Atlas IIAR," and the R designation also stuck around in some early Atlas V descriptions.
tl;dr, I don't really know. If you really wanted a definitive answer you'd need to dig into an autobiography of someone who was actually working at LM at the time, but given how fucked up and unclear everything is skipping a number doesn't seem that unusual. At least it's better than the labeling the poor Delta IV Medium ended up with.

Titan's really bad run didn't start until 1998 which was well after the EELV competition was settled, but both of the Titans Lockheed tried launching in 1993 blew up and that wasn't a good look when you compared it with Atlas II's perfect operational record.

It must be powered by some massive fissile stockpile with a very long half life. It has to be built like the pyramids and designed to stay put for millions of years. As long as cheap penny pinching democratic governments aren't financing it, it's doable

I hope they got that backwards, unless the ablative part just just the backup in case they lose a tile.
I'd still be afraid the heat of reentry would cause the ablative stuff to expand and pop tiles off on accident.

Build up Mars as best we can. Then if Earth is ever temporarily destroyed with all the humans on it through a giant asteroid hit or something we can send some people from the Mars colony back to Earth a few years later and restart civilization.
