once the paradigm shifts such that rockets are expected to be reused, often hundreds of times with limited maintenance, RDEs will makes sense. much like it makes sense to have a more expensive jet engine for that little extra fuel efficiency, it adds up over the 20+ year lifespan of the engine.

True, but its also true that they're testing it rigorously because they dont know if they can come back safely and are thus stranded in a sense due to the fact that they cant even give a date on when to come back. Giving date would mean the vehicle is safe and testing it optional. Its not optional and they dont know for certain the condition of the vehicle.

You need competent and intelligent white or east asian workers, not fat fucks and mystery meat mutts. Ask TSMC about their American plant disaster and that's after billions were thrown at it as well as it being a critical defence product. Turns out when you offshore your industry for half a century, dumb everyone down with corn syrup and smartphones, import tens of millions of low IQ squatemalans and mix them all up in an unholy melting pot that it's pretty much impossible to recover what you had. SpaceX unironically has the majority of engineering talent in the country working for them.

just spitballing here but LM10 is probably way more capable, plus it’s a flagship rocket (that is to say it gets priority r&d and resources) designed for use with mengzhou (aka crew-capable) from the drawing board

CZ10 (tricore) is an older concept and THE moon rocket (with hydrogen upper stage,man rated...), with the monocore CZ10A being a derivative of it.
So the state owned CASC/CALT are doing their own thing for the national lunar program, the monocore version will mainly be used to launch Mengzhou (Shenzhou's successor) to Tiangong.
TL3H is definitely not certain,and anyway, is not supposed to be manrated and lacks the high energy insertion performances since it's full kerolox.

AFAIK yes, TL3 is advertised with 17t to LEO in expendable mode and like 14t in downrange reusable, vs 22/17.5, but I may be wrong.
That's despite TL3 being 30-40 tons heavier than F9

I’ve spent enough time making fun of russians and europe for chasing the whole “F9 clone” thing poorly. Russia and Europe are now two rocket generations behind and are still chasing these retarded half-scale F9 concepts as we speak.
I’m not surprised China wants to emulate (blatantly copy and steal if need be) what they see as the benchmark of rocketry. No one else is doing it. Also the chinese copy everything anyways so this isn’t out of left field to me I guess. not a chinaboo just need that itch scratched that I used to get out of russian spaceflight

They are in the ISS with the capsule docked. Capsule was shitting its helium gas all the way to the ISS, developing more leaks all the way and starliner is currently on "indefinite safety review" while they try to figure out if it's going to kill them on the way down. It only can stay for 45 days though, will have to return soon and they will be on it. No way boeing takes the mega L on this one and there would have to be a whole reshuffling of rosters plus sending dragon up with empty seats to bring them back. The press would be so bad if they got rescued by Elon that they will 100% risk killing the poor bastards.

Space pioneer are refusing to call it the test failure, only say that there was a "structural failure between the rocket and the stand"
They then boast that they broke a record in thrust level during test of chinese launchers and reached twice higher thrust than previous test by other companies.

1. LM-10 can send 26t to TLI, the other rockets can't
2. Hedging redundancy
3. Competition
4. CASC will have a huge installed production capacity of YF-100 engines and nothing better to do with it once the LM-6/7/8/12 expendables become obsolete in the near future, so they might as well use YF-100-based engines for a reusable rocket and for the lunar program

This liftoff wasn't supposed to happen
The location of Xichang for a launch site was chosen due to military-strategic considerations during the Cold War. It was a location that was relatively well protected from attack yet also at sufficiently low latitude for GEO launches. Up until the 2010s, there was little money for spaceflight in China, so it was hard to justify allocating space funds on the construction of a brand new launch site just because of the spent stage issue. During the 2010's there was more money for space and a new launch site was built. However the new coastal launch site at Wenchang was built for the next generation rockets, that use kerolox propellant. Those kerolox rockets got delayed and the production ramp-up has been slow. Hence why they're still launching from Xichang and dropping the spent stages over populated areas.
The cadence at Wenchang is likely to increase dramatically in the near future. They're building a new double-pad launch complex (HICAL), a new double-door VAB for WSLC pad 201, a new Long March 8 final assembly and test facility designed to process 50 rockets per year, and a brand new pad and VAB at WSLC for the Long March 10. So Xichang might get shut down in the not too distant future.
>CASC’s Xi’an-based Sixth Academy is also ramping up production of the YF-100 kerosene-liquid oxygen engines which power many of China’s newer Long March rockets. 80 engines are expected to be delivered this year, up from 60 in 2022, allowing a wider use of these rockets.
>“In the near future, Wenchang will see its launch frequency go from between six to eight times a year, to 20 or 30 times a year,”

>During the test, the first-stage rocket ignited normally, and the engine thrust reached 820 tons. Due to the structural failure of the connection between the rocket body and the test bench, the first-stage rocket was separated from the launch pad. After liftoff, the onboard computer automatically shut down the engines, and the rocket fell into the mountains 1.5 km southwest of the test bench and disintegrated. The test site is far away from the urban area of Gongyi. Before the test, we jointly improved the safety measures with the local government and organized the evacuation of surrounding personnel in advance. After investigation, there were no casualties.

Political theater is the answer they go with. I've seen guys who believe that landers went to the moon, but people didn't, that the entire program was unmanned. In the case of 13, these people believe that the incident caused them to abort the mission, and create a spectacle that people could grip onto while no one was in any real danger.

From the IPCC AR6 report Ch.11:
>It is likely that the global proportion of Category 3–5 tropical cyclone instances2has increased over the past four decades. The average location where TCs reach their peak wind intensity has very likely migrated poleward in the western North Pacific Ocean since the 1940s, and TC translation speed has likely slowed over the conterminous USA since 1900. Evidence of similar trends in other regions is not robust. The global frequency of TC rapid intensification events has likely increased over the past four decades. None of these changes can be explained by natural variability alone (medium confidence).
>The proportion of intense TCs, average peak TC wind speeds, and peak wind speeds of the most intense TCs will increase on the global scale with increasing global warming (high confidence). The total global frequency of TC formation will decrease or remain unchanged with increasing global warming (medium confidence). {11.7.1}

Here's a lot of vague statements about things that we've got hard data on and could give a strong yes/no answer on, followed by an unambitious prediction about what's going to happen in the future. This is why most climatologists get stuffed in the same box that we keep astrologers in.

It's a lot like Ariane 5 in regards to trajectory, where the boosters and core stage loft it really high and the upper stage adds horizontal velocity while following a particularly ballistic arc, losing altitude for a good part of the burn until it circularizes in orbit.

It's a cheaper Delta-IV M at the very least, the H3 has a much lower payload capacity, but that may be down to that INSANELY LARGE DOGLEG MANEUVER they do to avoid the islands to the south for some reason.

this is because of the Japanese willingness to get paid like dogshit and work slave labour hours and also be a functional economy instead of a jobs program sometimes (just don't look too hard at their melon situation or the idols)

Having the H3 built almost entirely in-house by Mitsubishi does help. Meanwhile, the Delta IV was being designed and assembled by this all-star dream team

Oh, you all need to read the whole story:
>The U.S. Justice Department is pushing Boeing to plead guilty to criminal fraud in connection with two deadly plane crashes
>Boeing will have until the end of the coming week to accept or reject the offer, which includes the giant aerospace company agreeing to an independent monitor who would oversee its compliance with anti-fraud laws
>https://apnews.com/article/boeing-
The government is charging Boeing with fraud, and at the same time they are allowing them to take a plea deal of guilty and they have to hire someone for a few years to oversee that they don't commit fraud again. Thats it.
Biggest slap on the wrist I've ever seen.
