it would be better to have a second skin and between it and the inner skin to flow the liquid propellant before feeding this warmed fuel into a holding tank ready for the landing. in this way the heat can be transferred to the engine where its obviously more useful.

From the way the hole was, we can tell the hole was drilled after the part was painted, the drill bit skated around on the part before it found purchase, and there was no evident remnant or residue of any patching compound that might have been applied before launch and then failed once in space.

highly likely the hole was drilled in space.

If I'm not incorrect, then you need to have some sort of really good explanation to explain why we DID NOT see Tracy successfully make it to the airlock where she would've been more or less safe, especially since repressurization would've begun immediately, and would've only taken an upper maximum of 10 minutes.
Usually, this borders on schizo-levels of dedication to the convoluted explanation. Forgive me for calling it a schizo theory.

you've had lots of denials from the american side but never any full explanations or any rationale for why we're so confident it had to have been drilled on the ground. no investigation reports made public. i can't make any claims to know what happened but it sure looks like there was something funny going on.

It's diplomacy.
Making it public and airing out the laundry would be very embarrassing for whomever is at fault, and for projects like the ISS where international cooperation is the aim, you can't really expose your partner as incompetent without threatening the cooperation itself. Thus the awkward situation and the mutual cover up.

Whatever happened, Rogozin obviously violated that principle, probably because he didn't care much for the ISS since it's so expensive, and became even more expensive after dragon, since NASA stopped paying for flights at exorbitant fees (I remember him making public comments on this). His superiors obviously disagreed with him, thus their more conciliatory language.

if the booster doesn't ballistic trajectory the tower and OLM into a new crater, and the tower catch is successful on fifth flight, it will completely upend the heavy and superheavy lift market without launching a single payload to orbit.

2) Haters are also obsessive and uncritical, but they reject and criticize famous individuals, often considering them to be frauds.
3) Haters are essentially fanboys with a negative disposition
4) The fame of the individual fuels both fanboys and haters, who are energized by their reactions to the famous person.
5) People who are objects of devotions like this can best deal with the situation by not engaging or overthinking their actions.

It was less about the ISS being expensive and more about Rogozin wanting to get his old job back. He was originally the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the defense and space industries, which meant that he was the boss of the the previous head of Roscosmos, Igor Komarov. Being vocally anti-western on social media framed him as very patriotic supporter of President Putin. This sort of brown nosing might have won him a favor or two if it hadn't been for the fact that he he broke the cardinal rule of government work in Russia: don't make your boss look bad. Under Rogozin's leadership corruption got bad enough that there were actually trials and convictions over it while Russia's space capabilities slid in a way that was visible to and frequently commented on by foreign observers, so he got demoted again to being senator of Zaporozhye Oblast where he could collect a much deserved ass full of shrapnel.

They don't just still exist, they're actually expanding. I'm not sure why they feel the need for a second east coast launch complex. It might be a sign they're planning on abandoning their claim for SLC-20 in favor of consolidating onto Northrop's preexisting facilities in Virginia.

So I get why they don't kaunch in bad weather historically but the launch cadence is getting high enough where it's becoming a detriment. How major of an impact is bad weather? How bad does the weather actually need to be to actually cause serious problems? If x% of rockets get destroyed in bad weather have we reached a total launch capacity in good weather to justify it?

It's so much simpler! And with the improved density you could fit over three thousand tons of hypergolic propellant into a shuttle external tank while shaving off over two tons of dangerous and unnecessary foam insulation.

going back and watching some old EDS videos and one goalpost movement i'm noticing is that a few years ago the line was that starship has no commercial applications because nobody needs 100t payloads in LEO. now the gripe is that starship will only ever be useful for its commercial application of putting 100 tons' worth of starlink sats into LEO.

Even if the booster crashed into the launch pad it wouldn't be game over. The worst thing would probably be if they miss and it hits the tank farm near the pad. The booster will more or less be empty by the time it's trying to land so there wouldn't be some huge fireball as if it was full. The tower is pretty sturdy, I don't think there would be any major damage even if the booster hit it.

My heart breaks for Tim since that Japanese guy pulled out of the Dear Moon mission. I can only imagine how excited he was for it even though it wasn't going to be soon. I remember when he made a video about it and surprised his family saying that he was going, and buddy looked so happy. It's my ultimate dream to be able to go into space at some point in my life. If someone told me that I was going, only to just cancel it I would be heart broken. Tim is a bit funny and autistic but I enjoy his content. I wish he could get a seat on a Dragon capsule like one of the Axiom missions. Instead of sending some billionaire with money to burn up there give the seat to someone that's pretty much dedicated their entire life to educating others on spaceflight.

It's visibly slowing down at a different rate than the booster, and they both have velocity towards the launch site as this is happening, so it can only land short of the booster even assuming it's not leveraging the little cross range it has by deliberately flying askew.
If it's anything like falcon, it's targeting the water, moving the impact point as it's "gliding" to just offshore and then moving it further as the engines come online and translates onto the landing zone.
If the grid fins lose any control authority, it ends up in the drink. If the engines fail to light it ends up in the drink. The interstage adapter can only ever land short of the booster if both those things happen so it physically cannot come anywhere near ground infrastructure.

So the one rocket that doesnt have any parts wasted and is worked mostly on private land or shared properties like LC-39A, has also been extensively checked over by the FWS, FAA and likely other agencies like the EPA, has to be limited in launches per year? Meanwhile New Glenn hasnt flown once or had all these checks and will be ditching its upper half? Glass houses, Bezos. Maybe a countersuit is in order.

Reinhard said that the mummies "appear to be the best preserved Inca mummies ever found", also saying that the arms were perfectly preserved, even down to the individual hairs. The internal organs were still intact and one of the hearts still contained frozen blood. Because the mummies froze before dehydration could occur, the desiccation and shriveling of the organs that is typical of exposed human remains never took place.

Nah, the ROSCOSMOS classification on payload to LEO is better.
>Small - <5t
>Medium - 5-20t
>Heavy - 20-100t
>Super-heavy - 100t+
It allows for a good split in the larger rockets and the definitions can change as more powerful rockets are introduced but right now Starship is the only rocket that might go beyond 200t.

If the corpse was permanently shadowed, it would stay icey for probably billions of years. If it went through repeated 90 minute freeze thaw cycles floating around outside the ISS, I couldn't say. The premise is stupid though, I don't get why you wouldn't just chuck it out retrograde with the arm and let the body deorbit eventually. I wouldn't mind being "buried at sea" like that.

Any of these scenarios also apply to landing on legs, and the tolerances for catching is something like 30° or rotation and tilt aka not a problem even if things start to go wrong

No matter how rich, no matter where he goes or what he does, he is a loser, he knows this and desperately wants to be anything other, but there’s nothing you can “do” to stop being a loser, and permalosers will never figure that out.
