I'm trying to design a...wait for it...
fan-jet/ram-jet/scram/jet combination that also shuts off its air-breathing capacity at high altitude and converts to a rocket engine.
I admit freely this probably cannot be done.
Also notice that I didn't say turbo-jet or turbo-fan because I've already concluded that the rocket mode is going to destroy that turbine at the output.
It's a fun project, trying to figure out a way to close off the fan intake and the ram/scram intakes independently for various modes of operation.
I want to run it on methane so it has a chance of getting put into a self-refueling SSTO space plane. (On airless worlds, it tips up and takes off in rocket mode, otherwise is takes off like a plane. If O2 is available, it is air-breathing.)
Yes, I already know it is likely impossible to combine all these, but it sure is fun to try to design it.

After a certain point launch cadence is more of a payload availability problem than a rocket production problem. Delta IV was supposed to launch thirty times per year but there just weren't that many payloads on the market, even if they could have paid Delta launch price. Once the Kuiper factory comes online and starts mass producing satellites ULA will be able to start launching Vulcans as quickly as Tory can build them.

It wasn't competitive at price because the few launches it had needed to carry all of its fixed costs. If more payloads signed on right out of the gate it could have been competed with the Ariane and Proton on price. It didn't get those jobs because the telecommunication constellations it had planned to launch all went bankrupt and the only payloads left were a few yearly geostationary launches, and most of those had already signed contracts with Arianespace or ILS.

I was briefly looking into making a startup related to construction on Mars.
Hardware side I was looking into how one might make bricks from compressed Martian dust. Constraints unique to Mars would be lack of water, lack of limestone, lack of binder. Water ISRU on the scales required for concrete is a ways off, and there's not enough easily accessible calcium anyway. A binder would need to be shipped in and the binder mass per habitable volume is really really bad. Assuming Starship, you would have access to human labor and electricity (and probably a small excavator no matter what you're doing), so you could have someone dump dirt through layers of screens, and then compress the fine dust into bricks with an electric hydraulic press. You could make the bricks like big legos and fit them together with no mortar. There would be a few standard dies so you could build walls and arched roofs of a set size. You would then inflate a liner inside, already made for the building of that size on Earth. It would bring down the shipped mass of a sturdy structure to the weight of the plastic.
Software side it would tell you how many bricks of each size you would need and how to assemble them in order so someone with no training could jump right in.
Ultimately I realized that every freight starship will be livable volume once emptied and one of the first results of industrialization will be better construction than dirt bricks. It solved a problem that didn't exist. There's also no application on Earth.

Right now I'm working with someone at a local seaside university. She has a specialization in oysters and we're seeing if we can manipulate the microbiome to deal with perchlorates somewhat. The idea would be to flood and agitate a small pressurized area, seed with oysters, let them bring the perchlorate levels down, and slowly expand outward, flooding new area and draining the old once the dirt is processed into something not poisonous. Ideally you'd get biomass, calcium carbonate, and safe dirt over a practically infinite area for the mass cost of a small fish tank and related equipment, and some amount of plastic per acre. It may work, it may not.
My current life goal is to have a fully developed and palletizable system of something useful for Mars by the time they're ready to start sending stuff. I currently run a completely unrelated company but as soon as one of my ideas gets past the exploration phase I'm dropping everything and moving to Austin

Nothing is happening without large scale water ISRU for electrolysis, I would take that as a given. The problem with concrete is more in making portland cement. Very energy intensive and requires specific minerals in large quantities.

But yeah I'm positive there are opportunities out there. Starship is changing constraints that were so constant since the inception of space flight that no one has actually done the work to dream of what would go into fully industrializing a planet. Like as an actual task, with a set of steps to be done in real life.

I'm skeptical, especially for the early days relevant to my bad idea. You don't want something so essential (return) dependent on all your machines working. Also you likely wouldn't be able to create enough fuel to hit the Earth return window a month after arrival in the case of emergency. For the first handful of windows, some significant percentage of the Starships sent to Mars will have nothing but insulated fuel inside. Maybe they land, maybe they're a depot in LMO, but until Mars is way more industrialized they have better things to use that water on.
Consider the attached pic and add heavy mining machinery and secondary processes. There will be children born on Mars before they refuel a Starship with ISRU.

It'll basically be like mining for iron on earth. Sure it's there but you need heavy equipment to utilize it in any reasonable quantity. I mean whatever, there's a path to utilizing it, just not very soon. Like I said, you can just send fuel depots in the meantime, it isn't an issue.

Developer Rob Lauer said the spaceport would include a space pilot school, a post-high school STEM academy with space vehicle simulators and a takeoff and landing mechanism for space planes, not rockets.
“We would be seeking a license for horizontal launch vehicles versus vertical launch rockets,” he said.
Lauer anticipates private space planes will become much more accessible in the coming years and says a spaceport here would make Las Vegas a hub for space tourism.

I fail to see how Zoobrine's political opinions are spaceflight. Also didnt Trump get found on Epsteins receipts for 'massages'? Why would he support that as well as Trump's dismal record for encouraging spaceflight? (USSF was basically already independent while in USAF just not officially so him making it official did nothing and Artemis is a horrible program that wastes money on SLS over paying SpaceX to use Starship)

here is a long rundown of the situation, but basically the 45 limit was due to batteries only rated for 45 days, but they they extended that 45 additional days
that might or might not be extended even further
>The delays have reached a point where NASA is now revisiting that 45-day limit on Starliner. Stich said on Friday’s call that the batteries have shown nothing so far that would limit their performance or create additional risk if the mission is extended. “The risk for the next 45 days is essentially the same as the first 45 days, so we’ll go update that limit,” he said.

excerpts of lines that would never be written in american press coverage:
>However, the path to the peak of scientific and technological innovation is never smooth; setbacks and failures are inevitable and should be seen as opportunities to learn and correct mistakes.
>Although this test failed, fortunately, there were no casualties, and only some property damage occurred.
>From another perspective, although this incident has sparked much discussion, occasional setbacks are hard to avoid in scientific research and industrial exploration. Some criticisms on the internet may be overly harsh. If we abandon innovation due to fear of failure, many innovations might lose their breeding ground. On the contrary, believing in professional strength and creating a moderately tolerant environment might further stimulate innovative vitality.
>It is believed that, taking this incident as a warning, commercial space-related companies will be more rigorous in safety control. In the exploration of the scientific world, failures should not become "roadblocks." With enough tolerance and support, these failures could turn into "stepping stones" for moving forward together. With eyes set on the stars and the sea, nothing can stop the steps of progress.

chicken manure needs to be composted first. quail are better suited. they need less room, mature to laying age faster, make less noise and the manure is milder/less smelly.
composting with worms and black soldier fly larvae recycles nutrients and produces protein to feed to the birbs.
guinea pigs can be fed on pure gras, which grows very fast, but also do well on a diet heavy in pellet food. they also do well in small spaces with many animals. you could argue that rats are even more efficient and prolific.

Crops are grown in dirt on Earth due to a surplus of dirt. The conditions on Mars are different. Pressurized space and dirt will be limited but electricity will not so you'll have extremely dense hydroponics or aquaponics. The cost per acre will not be competitive with hydroponics so you won't use it for that. It's just a normal economic forcing function. If you do have an area with dirt you'd make it into a park like in the picture in the tweet we're referring to. A space like that would be a luxury, the investment worth it for the psychological benefits and nothing else.

It's hardly news for anyone who's been watching closely. ITER employees have been privately saying 2034 or 2035 for a while now.
The article says French regulators halted construction "briefly" but it was actually almost 3 years. The reason the blocked it was because they had different segments of the vacuum vessel all made in different countries, and the Korean and Italian ones were damaged during manufacturing and wouldn't fit together, but they sent them to ITER anyway.

once you start growing things, you have biomass waste containing nutrients. the most useful thing you can do with that is composting it and filling up plant containers and beds/build up topsoil in a dome. hydroponics is more productive, but soil is more stable, requires less tech and maintenance and allows to grow crops that don't do well in hydro. soil will accumulate over time.

when ITER was first devised there were two ways to resolve containment - building a giant tokamak or making better superconducting magnets for a smaller tokamak. they went with the former since that was guaranteed to "work" in the sense that they could announce they'd gotten a bunch of firsts and secure further funding, even if it wasn't really getting them much closer to economically viable power generation. in the meantime MIT's figured out how to make better magnets and they're going to have a much smaller and cheaper demo reactor online well before ITER does.

Sure that's where you'd get the biomass to fill the dome, but that doesn't mean the dome would necessarily make more sense for actual productive agriculture. The value of a park on a world with no nature is probably higher per acre than than the value of productive farmland. Farmland is also way less productive than hydroponics per watt and per man hour. It would also be less consistent. I could see a community garden (an extension of the general psychological benefit) but nothing for actual production. I don't think these comparisons are unreasonable

The current arms will be scrapped, the tower needs additional sections and major refurb to accommodate ship v2, the water cooled steel plate is a short-medium term solution and will eventually need to be replaced by a real flame trench (even when watercooled, the steel is still being ablated away slowly). Musk has also mentioned that the current hold down clamps/booster QDs need to be reworked and replaced as the current version has a fatal flaw

lol I know this is ragebait, but next time an urfer morally chastises you for having an interest in space exploration (this unironically happens way too often), and starts with their "muh urf problems" speech, just retort to them saying that maybe they should get more angry at the fact that much of the money humanity spends "here on urf" are done on pointless endeavors that have nothing to do with fixing poverty and hunger. For instance, the global sports betting industry market size reached a whopping $90B (2023), while the global sex toys industry was estimated at $35B (2021). While we are at it, the global film industry (including home entertainment revenue) was at $136B in 2018. Maybe we shouldn't spend so much on dildos and marvel movies, and start solving real problems?

I don't think terraforming mars would actually be as costly or time consuming as commonly advertised. At least up the level where you don't need a full pressurized space suit when you go outside.
The problem with mars right now is that it's locked in a negative feedback loop. The poles are so cold that it snows CO2 which makes the thin atmosphere thinner thus colder and makes it easier to snow CO2. But even so the loop is barely keeping ahead of the heating sun. All we need is a little push, something to make the poles a little warmer and the dry ice will start melting, thus making the atmosphere thicker and making it warmer and so on.
I suggest orbital mirrors.
