and KSC doesn't have to deal with the inconvenience of being on an island, a real one where you can't just drive in over a bridge. the only good reason to pick an island off your mainland's coast is so you can launch to whatever inclination you want.

Actually the best reason you would pick an island is so you can have unlimited launch cadence without the populace sneeding about starships blowing out their windows every hour. Unfortunately tanegashima has like 20k people on it.

Anonymous at Mon, 1 Jul 2024 08:12:59 UTC No. 16262590
>>16262581
I think a lot of it is just the smoke and partially burnt fuel getting sucked up into the low pressure area behind the falling rocket.
The lower half of the booster is also where the fuel tank is, so if there are any leaks or ruptures the fire is going to be very fuel-rich, making it dark and sooty.

The firewall is easy to circumvent for anyone even a little tech savvy. Really viral shit like this doesn't even need to breach it since it can spread enough on their own platforms before it is stamped out. The consequences of hurting national feelings is the bigger problem than the lack of easy access to outside media platforms.

If you read the articles you would find out that most of the time they burn up in return but sometimes pieces survive and they are looking in to it so it will always burn up in the future.
They admit there is a problem, and they are trying to fix it, this is not only spaceX, but nasa who wants to adress the problem.
You can find these articles on google with no problem.
Now compare that to CCP china that has been dropping it's stages for half a century now on rural china and doesnt seem to give a fuck, knowingly dropping hypergolic stages on them.
The most recent test with the rocket that ripped itself from the platform and went up, china claimed the onboard computer shut down and the rocket was nowhere close to civilisation, meanwhile we know both of those are massive lies.
We see the engine blow up, not a shutdown, and from the several vidoes and from maps we can see how close the towns where.
All fucking lies by the CCP.
I know you wumao's are going to turn this in to a "see its okay if spaceX/the US does it" hypocrit thing, but that's bullshit.

Xichang is the biggest source of the problem and it had its first launch in 1990. They're also slowly working to fix the issue - the fix is Wenchang - so I guess they're excused too.

Putting aside that SpaceX's fuckup doesn't excuse your government's malicious disregard for human life.
An inert structural member that has unintentionally survived re-entry isn't the same as knowingly and repeatedly raining nitric acid on your own populace chang. Bottled cancer raining from the sky every time you launch isn't a "oops it happened again teehee" contingency, it's the default outcome your space agency expects and your government doesn't give a solitary fuck it happens.

China has been testing&launching rockets from deep inside china since the start of the cold war, and the first stages had to go somewhere all those decades.

And the only way to "fix" it is to have the stages do a controled landing like falcon 9, but i dont see the chinese pulling that off as good as spaceX did.

Remember just few days after IFT-4 launch when Musk said he was going to catch at next attempt?
People then predicted it would take 6months - 1+ years to build the second tower. And thus if IFT-5 fails to catch, SpaceX would be set back by 1+ years because of lack of towers.

>We see the engine blow up, not a shutdown
While SP is certainly trying to put a positive spin on things, this is not necessarily technically a lie. The computer was probably programmed to immediately shut the engines down if it detected anything wrong with any part of the propulsion system.
>the rocket was nowhere close to civilisation
The sentence SP used was 火箭跌落在距离试车台西南1.5公里的深山中,箭体跌落山中后解体。本次试
>The rocket fell into a deep mountain 1.5 kilometers southwest of the test platform, and the rocket body disintegrated after falling into the mountain. The test site is far away from the urban area of Gongyi
"Far away" is relative. Although, translating just 远离, it apparently just means "away" or "removed", with no "far" in it by itself, that's something Google Translate added. I have no idea what the exact connotations are of 远离 in terms of magnitude. Again, it seems SP is trying to put a positive spin on things without technically lying.

Yes, at a certain level it is. Vessels traffic every part of the high seas, even east of New Zealand, yet it's still considered an acceptably safe place to crash space junk. There is no place that is entirely and always void of people. Actually, the South China Sea might be a more dangerous place to drop stages than the Gobi wastes around of Jiuquan.

I don't know what you mean by "shutdown computer". I don't think there needs to be a special computer for that.
The computer shutting the engines down in case of a malfunction being detected would be an entirely normal and sensible way to prepare a test like this. It's a very reasonable to think that the computer would have been programmed in such a manner.
>if it had one, it did jack shit by the looks of it.
What do you base this assessment on? To me it looks like the engines performed normally, until some kind of malfunction caused a kerosene leak (black smoke) at which point the engines began to wind down. This wind-down may have been due to the malfunction itself, or it may have been due to the computer detecting the malfunction and shutting the engines down.

That's an interesting way of saying they considered it too expensive or cumbersome to design it in such a way that it would certainly burn up or fall in the ocean. It's not like they paused launching to redesign Dragon after this happened; it has happened several times. So they've clearly very intentionally decided to accept this risk.

We had an asteroid make a close flyby last night. 2024 MK didn't come exceptionally close, only 290,000 km, so it was inside lunar orbit but not near enough to be inside geostationary. That said, it was around 150-250m across so you could spot it with a fairly small telescope.

The US Justice Department contends that Boeing violated an agreement intended to resolve a 2021 charge of conspiracy to defraud the US government [Ted S Warren/AP]
Published On 1 Jul 20241 Jul 2024
The United States Justice Department is pushing Boeing to plead guilty to criminal fraud in connection with two deadly plane crashes involving its 737 Max jetliners, according to several people who heard federal prosecutors detail a proposed offer Sunday.
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, they said.

The case stems from the department’s determination that Boeing violated an agreement that was intended to resolve a 2021 charge of conspiracy to defraud the US government.
Prosecutors alleged at the time that Boeing misled regulators who approved the 737 Max and set pilot-training requirements to fly the plane. The company blamed two relatively low-level employees for the fraud.
The Justice Department told relatives of some of the 346 people who died in the 2018 and 2019 crashes about the plea offer during a video meeting.
The family members, who want Boeing to face a criminal trial and pay a $24.8bn fine, reacted angrily. One said prosecutors were gaslighting the families; another shouted at them for several minutes when given a chance to speak.

When starlink is 'done' and launch cadence dips they'll rake in pallets of cash from starlink subscriptions without the ongoing expense of launches. The global commercial launch market collapsing because SpaceX launched everything is very bad, the starlink launch backlog collapsing because SpaceX launched all of them will open the cash floodgates.

What is the acceptable risk exactly? How do you weigh the risk against the economic/military/scientific need to launch? How do you balance the risk of launching inland versus the military need to keep your launch sites protected?
Have you calculated the risk and benefit posed by SpaceX launches and concluded whether the risk vs benefit is acceptable? Big chunks falling on things like camping grounds suggests the risk might not have been that low. Dragon is mostly a vanity project anyway, and the benefit of launch is quite low, compared to for example observation, navigation and communication satellites that are critical military/economic national infrastructure, so the threshold of what is acceptable risk should be far lower for Dragon.
Unlike CASCs large and mostly empty aluminium balloons, Dragon chunks and COPVs are hard to see, fall with high terminal velocity, and arrive with no advance warning

It's a retarded idea. With just some napkin math you can see that getting enough intake airflow to match the oxygen flow rate of a rocket requires impractically high air flow at the intake (gaseous air has extremely low density and is 80% not oxygen).
Once you have accelerated to a speed where might have enough incoming air for the gay air breathing engine to be beneficial, you'll already be running out of atmosphere.

You have to read the Gallic War. One man changed the history of the world because he wanted to and murdered and enslaved millions of French while doing it. Caesar was based beyond belief. It's not surprising that people worshipped him.
Just the fact that it's autobiographical and from a significant historical figure makes it interesting. You won't find anything better to read.

Any particularly good reason an orbital launch vehicle needs to be launched from a mobile platform? This feels like an icbm with plausible deniability.

Russian space station time table was signed by head of Roscosmos:
2027 first science-energy module launched
2027-2030 additional 4 modules launched to form station's core
2031-2033 launch of 2 additional modules
Soyuz-5 joined project of Russia and Kazakhstan first launch planned 3rd quarter 2025. New signed contract between Kazakhstan and Russia include at least 2 launches every year from 2028 to 2039
Amur-spg reusable rocket development continues. New engine created for this rocket tests will start in October this year
Work on super heavy rocket frozen in 2018 will continue based on data gathered from Soyuz-5 launches

About Soyuz-5 in a recent interview
>Currently, the components of the first flight launch vehicle are being manufactured. The first stage engine has already been manufactured and delivered to us, part of the sets of on-board equipment, tanks and rocket compartments are being manufactured. Most of the elements for the assembly and welding of tanks have been manufactured.
>We plan to deliver the rocket to the cosmodrome in the third quarter of next year. The first launch of the launch vehicle is scheduled for the end of 2025. We hope that by this time the ground infrastructure will be ready.

Except there really are a few ways that it can try. First of all, it has to know where it is in orbit, so it can know when it's getting near "bad" places, and have a good idea when to stop forwarding data. And then it has to relay data, so in a part of the world where there are no ground stations, there's nowhere to get internets from unless you have the frickin' lasers set up.

It means the radiation pattern of a beamformed phase array does not have holes in it and it is not very high gain. If you want to deny coverage to an area crossed by the wave then you have to design an effective phase-shift key because otherwise physics says your broadcast is going everywhere and there is nothing you can do about it. This is something the ITU knows, which is why they work to deconflict frequencies rather than coverage areas.

Generally you want to build a rocket inside, but to launch, the rocket must be outside. There are a few ways around this:
The building can open or otherwise move. This has its own problems but has been done.
Alternatively the rocket can be transported to the launch site and lifted onto a stationary launch platform. This requires cranes that either have to survive launch or leave the area prior to launch.
The mobile launcher is a 3rd option, that makes different compromises. It essentially moves the loading onto the launch platform into your assembly building. You end up leaving different equipment at the launch site, and depending on how you design your mobile launch platform, it could be moved by a separate system that then departs before launch or under its own power and has to ride out launch.
Each option has pros and cons. And each has its own analog in the missile world.

Kind of a stretch but you could integrate it in a clean and climate controlled hangar and then drive it out arbitrarily close to the equator. Sealaunch thought the benefit outweighs the trouble of towing the fat bitch to sea. I imagine driving on public roads to be quite cheaper and faster.

First strike: ASAT
Second strike: Rapid response satellite replenishment (either on orbit spares or easily launchable replacements) and more ASAT
Russia and the US also appear to be going for mission kill (lasers, paint, EMP) and China is going for disruption (ground station compromise / satellite compromise). I seem to recall a very odd Chinese Army graphic indicating one second-strike response is actually to launch cheap suborbital sats for temporary battlefield use.

California Condors are well known to be among the most retarded birds. Literally went extinct in the wild in 1987. They were reintroduced in the Grand Canyon and Mexico, and their population has been gradually climbing. Still critically endangered, current population 561 (up from 27 in 1987, before conservation efforts)

astra didn't launch from a truck but they basically sold the pentagon on how they could launch from anywhere on three days' notice. being able to launch from places where you can evade detection is useful for a lot of things besides ICBMs.
