>The history of the ISS, which took till 2011 to complete, has not been all plain sailing. One early sign of trouble was a 1984 report of the US government Office of Technology Assessment, which spelled out in embarrassing detail that the object of international cooperation in space was not to enhance NASA’s capabilities, but to distract US allies from developing their own. It cast a new light on previous cancellations such as the Space Shuttle flyback booster, to which the British Aircraft Corporation had made a major commitment, and highlighted the subsequent under-use of the European Space Agency’s Spacelab module, which a 1997 report described as “Europe’s most expensive gift to the people of the United States since the Statue of Liberty”.

>In his book Endurance, Scott Kelly describes his battle, throughout his career, to get NASA to take the issue of carbon dioxide build up seriously. In the battle to save Apollo 13 and bring its crew home, a device had to be improvised to scrub carbon dioxide from the air, bringing the partial pressure back from 15 mm of mercury, which was far above the limit for safety, to just 0.1 mm.
>In Kelly’s investigation, he found that the US Navy does not allow carbon dioxide to rise above 2 mm (0.3 %) even if the noise of air purifiers risks giving away a submarine’s position. NASA regarded 6 mm as the upper limit and routinely allowed 4 mm, at which the astronauts suffered headaches and lapses of judgment, extremely dangerous in space. Permissible levels in spacesuits were far lower. Neither astronauts nor cosmonauts had complained for fear of being replaced, but Kelly had decided to retire after his 340-day stay on the ISS, and the parallel study being conducted on his twin brother on the ground made him too valuable to bring back early, so like Chapman’s Homer he could ‘speak out loud and bold’.

This final spacesuit testing milestone took place at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, June 24-28, utilizing a historic chamber facility previously used to support testing of America’s earliest spacesuits and spacecraft during the Gemini and Apollo programs. Built in the mid-1960s, the facility was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and remains in use today to support various space industry tests.

New mega bay. Also demolishing tower one because it's not tall enough, and the OLM is a shit design, so they need to rebuild them both. They can't just add more sections to the first tower because it's filled with concrete.

You're thinking too small. Political donations make your business the "national interest" of your country and is especially useful when your business involves other countries. I foresee either a SpaceX request to launch for ESA at their spaceport (unlikely) or a continuance of future ESA-controlled KSC launches. This may also involve Starlink.

That's an very short time for Blue to actually integrate all of their various pieces of hardware and then run them through any amount of integrated testing. The second stage is also a completely new design using engines that have seen exactly zero real flight time, which is a pretty huge temptation for the second stage curse.

there's something to be said for this. when bureaucrats and managers put their asses on the line, they're still going to be dumbasses, but at least they're dumbasses who pay the price for their own fuckups. it's something that's increasingly rare in the west. reminds me of how that chernobyl miniseries demonized dyatlov as the stereotypical evil boss when the real dyatlov received a near-fatal radiation dose searching for missing workers.

This. We need to build bases on Titan and Callisto so that we can investigate the gas giants and their satellite systems. We also need to build a base on Pluto to prepare future humans for the construction of the Pluto Relay which will be used to travel to outer systems.

Mars is rich in CO2. There's 3.8 liters of water per cubic meter of Martian soil. There's brine flows that have been confirmed on the surface of Mars on dunes, and there's massive ice caps. If at any point you'd want to do explosive mining on Mars, sulfur is integral to achieving that and all other elemental options are all in support of that. Sulfur concrete would be good for basically building a hydrophobic layer for radiation shielding on the surface in the event of a particular nasty geomagnetic storm or simply for building a massive underground reservoir that's a few hundred cubic meters in volume. Which would be really cool to see on Mars one day, where a surface and underground colony basically would have a subsurface fresh water "lake" in which aqua flora and fauna can be grown and harvested and humans could scuba dive into.

>SpaceX was awarded $267K on July 15 for "Special Study for Emergency Response." A similar contract was awarded when NASA considered Frank Rubio on Dragon. During the July 10th press conference, Steve Stich, program manager for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, mentioned NASA had looked at Dragon contingency per Butch and Suni waiting for Starliner to be cleared for return, so this may be related.
>And we have a NASA response for context:
>"The study is not related to Starliner. NASA continuously explores a wide range of contingency options with our partners to ensure crew safety aboard the International Space Station. Over the past couple of years, the agency has worked with its commercial partner SpaceX to provide additional return capability on the Dragon spacecraft in the event of a contingency."

They couldn't manage the budget and the budget increased 30%. This kicked off a review on whether the project could be launched at all. Given the $1 trillion/y in interest rate alone today in the US, the republican party wants wants NASA to cut the laggards. NASA doesnt want to cancel SLS. So its cutting smaller programs that are failing to meet the standard.
30% review is there as a fail safe for when programs are deviating. You dont want to reward failure.

When are they going to switch gears to mass production? Will they? If Starlink revenue continues to approach the NASA budget I could see SpaceX and the new network of space startups just doing exploration missions themselves

>>16288278
Ideally NASA/SpaceX would cooperate to explore together. But with SpaceX building their own war machine and war chest to fund their war efforts, SpaceX will likely eventually lead their own missions due to difference in priorities + capabilities of SpaceX.
For smaller companies, they will have the choice of following SpaceX's leadership to take a chance/risk or staying with NASA's leadership. This event will be the real fracturing between future of mankind from government led to commercial led.

ironic considering what is happening with SLS, its basically eating all other programs
but killing mars return is promising, perhaps they will kill SLS after a few missions, get the companies/people working on it to start doing something actually commercially useful
Starship will open up whole new industries so the 53 gorillion different companies might as well start applying themselves there instead

you can likely achieve a level of angular momentum that yields some benefits to say shaving off some years from lightspeed; timespace, time as a distance, yet that is the problem on the inverse (proper time) you still hit like 98%, what's the point if you blew up a ton of rockets to get there, the point is you want to double your speed eventually basically, not 98% of double.
