i really thought
"surely they've wasted all those 4 years on the ground to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that NOTHING like the faulty clock on the 1st test happened again. i was going to shitpost about it burning up in the atmosphere but in my heart i believed that all those years of mucking about and delaying on the ground was going to make for a PERFECT launch where NOTHING goes wrong.
as it turns out gradatim ferociter is just a cope for oldspace companies that don't bother to do intergrated hardware testing and hope that that if they just simulate their simulation that can't account for unknown unknowns hard enough that it will magically go right the first time, which as orion and starliner have proven, it doesn't work that way.

Unfortunate they didnt pick Mark Kelly, wouldve been atleast nice knowing that there would be more NASA funding for Artemis (which would go to SpaceX as well) but it looks like Walz is in. Hopefully Trump wins then as he was far more friendly to SpaceX and NASA, allowed for Artemis to happen and will likely give SpaceX signficant leeway in ramping up Starship operations, which right now is the crucial point in allowing it to do so in order to meet the Artemis deadline. Otherwise it will stagnate and China will get ahead in the second space race while the US is blockaded by yellow tape put there by itself almost entirely for political purposes.

Probably some kind of integration issue. They had everything integration tested for autonomous operation but it wasn't tested when integrated with the software for manned operation. The earlier test flights didn't have the software for manned operation loaded. Once that was installed and tested, they would have needed another round of testing if they were to have both manned and autonomous modes integrated into the same system. Someone didn't want to spend the resources or they were under too much time pressure and arrogantly assumed things would go fine with the manned flight so the autonomous modes wouldn't be needed.
That's my guess and not based on any inside information.

Think others mentioned that Starliner already blew through the maximum the government is willing to pay and every penny now is another penny out of Boeing's pocket. The time pressure is not just about money but also about image as they've delayed things over and over again. That used to be ok when old space controlled the industry but with SpaceX showing what's possible, Boeing is looking increasingly incompetent with each delay. Of course getting your astronauts stuck in space and needing for them to be rescued by SpaceX or Russia while NASA tries to figure out how to unclog the Boeing debris blocking a needed docking port is even more embarrassing but that's the dice roll one takes when cutting corners.

For feed lines to melt, the temps would have to get really hot. Hot enough that it would impact the fuel and any other electrical subsystems or other lines stored near to these thrusters. There's no way NASA would crew rate this clusterfuck of a design where every launch and crew flight carries statistically significant risk of RUD-ing your rcs and/or maneuvering thrusters.

Not sure that question is answerable in any reasonable or rational capacity, rhetorical or not. But if I had to guess, it had something to do with cost and complexity and the set of actions they took is very similar to the set of actions they took with Max and MCAS, and the capsule's fate mirrors the two planes that fell out of the sky.
Anonymous at Tue, 6 Aug 2024 23:16:38 UTC No. 16312748
>>16312737
It's more like the autonomous docking/undocking code stack lives in a different branch than the rest of the capsule's avionics, which itself also had a further round of changes. So the two branches have to be rebased and all the merge conflicts have to be resolved. After that, more integration and validation testing for certification, before it can be pushed to the Starliner for an OTA update to make the capsule ready again. In that context, 4 weeks sounds appropriate. But the fact that it has come to this at all, is even a bigger procedural failure.

you're entirely missing the point, spacex didn't give a rat's arse about putin's ASAT capabilities, he could shoot down 10 sats and spacex would lose basically no money while russia instantly draws the ire of every neutral country with assets in space (which includes china lol).
the point was that elon noticed that while they were providing this service out of the goodness of their heart, everyone else providing direct or indirect aid was getting paid good money by congress.
he decided he wanted in on that, and that's literally the only thing the drama was about.
he also doesn't give a fuck about ukraine using starlink to drop mortars on zigger heads, he just wanted that to stay seperate from the civillian side of starlink which is why starshield became a thing, the DOD gets their own toy version of starlink to play with and it doesn't get starlink any bad press from pacifist hippies anymore, win-win.

He specifically said that it was just for few months as the initial assumption was the short war would be over by then. The Biden government didn't want to pick up the tab after the free donation service that saved Ukraine. And then Biden admin spread nasty rumors about SpaceX negotiating with DoD. Then the Biden admin tried to gaslight spacex by claiming they wanted to open investigation into SpaceX for not giving FREE internet to Ukraine for war into Russian controlled asset.

The fins are really dumb only because it limits them slapping three cores together or adding SRBs to the side for extra OOMPH. Though I suppose they decided they didnโt give a shit and didnโt want to ever try any of those options so itโs fine I guess.

I'm still not 100% sure what the gameplan is for Stoke. I think they're well run and competent (a full flow staged combustion has been demonstrated!) But I'm not sure what the business model will be. Starship is almost certain to work at this point, and probably before Stoke can get many payloads to orbit. And once Starship is live, the total upmass available on the market will go up by orders of magnitude, which means the upmass price could tank.

Even with Starship and BO launching New Glenn I personally think there is still money to be made with a medium launcher. Maybe just maybe a small launcher if you can actually find a way to get it to launch in crazy numbers.
Donโt discount the government/private contractors wanting options. And yes I know SS is set to be cheap as hell but even if SeX offered it for FREE, there is still going to be a niche for a medium rocket. For a while rocket lab was my speculative winner for this but they are taking forever with Archimedes, on top of the fact that Neutron has stupid design choices that seem like they will just be amplification of Electron issues. Meanwhile stoke (who I admittedly havenโt cared for) are moving VERY fast and are showing results at the speed Rocket Lab needs to be doing. I think theyโre going to secure a nice little niche if they are serious about this.

Still lots to prove. I guess itโs admirable going from nothing to a giant ass FH-tier rocket; especially in a world where people have been needing to do F9 clones for a decade now with no one across the globe doing it until now.
But they want reusability right out of the gate AND the original reusability profile called for 100 reuses per rocketโฆ now that number is down to 25 and might not ever even come close to that number. Meanwhile F9s are pulling 22 reuses from a design where ten reuses seemed impossible just a few years ago. I wouldnโt be surprised if SX pump out more reuses on a F9 than BO ever do with NG
New Glenn is retarded in this regard and if BO treat it like ULA treats their rocket it doesnโt matter if they have reusability unlocked in their skill tree, theyโll just have another old space style rocket trying to compete with Vulcan and Ariane 6โs markets.

Oh yeah I donโt disagree but also we need to look at the facts: SpaceX themselves barely fly FH because 99% of the market can be handled by Falcon 9 w/ upgraded Merlins. And on top of that we can all see how swimmingly Starship/Super Heavy is coming along. I donโt think thereโs going to be any sort of โFalcon Heavy voidโ to fill, as SX will keep F9 online for a while to fulfill contacts and SS will simply get better and cheaper. Rough market for BO and like I said theyโre probably just going to be competing for the scraps that will want to fly on Vulcan-Centaur and Ariane 6

Until the pandemic I worked for a regional telecom that served mostly rural areas.

The company did the minimum amount possible to keep those funds with absolutely dogshit DSL service using decaying equipment and ancient telephone lines. We did upgrade to fiber in some areas, usually if a town built a new subdivision, we'd wire it up with modern equipment, and those customers would be profitable but for the most part, it was the government subsidies we received that kept the company alive as it's difficult to profit from someone at the end of a 5000 feet of copper line installed during the 1950s.
At a "all hands" meeting someone asked the CEO about Starlink providing an alternative for most of our customers and he looked like a deer caught in headlights. All he could come up with is that we'd look into some sort of partnership with Starlink and moved on to the next question. Starlink has no reason to partner with us unless forced to do so by the government. And we spent lots of money lobbying to keep those subsidies going.
There are at least two other regional telecoms with similar business models. All are trying to get into supplying services to businesses instead of being completely reliant on consumers since if that subsidy ever goes away, such as being declared redundant due to Starlink, all three companies will instantly be bankrupt. It probably would be less expensive for the government in the long run to buy people in those areas Starlink terminals than to continue to pour billions into decaying old copper lines and mechanical switching stations. Biden (or his handlers) hating Elon Musk probably is the main thing stopping this from happening.

Extended payload fairings aren't bothering with reuse or recovery as far as I've heard. Gateway and the occasional National Security launch are the only customers who have a serious interest in them, and both of those have the kind of budgets that won't care about paying for more disposable hardware.

I'd be more concerned with getting things into shape where NASA feels comfortable flying Starliner-1. If the Starliner program doesn't die they can always launch Starliner-6 to one of the post-ISS commercial destinations. 2030 really isn't what everyone should be worrying about right now.

this is some extreme cope and it flies directly in the face of the gradatim ferociter bullshit mottos that oldspace farts use all the time.
this was supposed to be an approval mission, i final intergrated test to show that those last 4 years spent fucking around were actually worth something and resulted in a functioning spacecraft because "we may not be hardware rich and we take more time but when we launch it's gonna be perfect".
all the oldspace cunts and their lapdogs used the same narrative on SLS, chiding the starship program as being incompetent because they're blowing up rockets with no people on it. and orion basically had a similar shitshow moment where it returns and there's giant pieces of the heatshield that flaked off, though thankfully there wasn't anyone onboard that one.
this was a DEMONSTRATION mission, to show that your fucking vehicle is ready after congress paid you more money for it than they did spacex and you spent years and years ironing out additional bugs when your competitor was already flying tens of manned missions.
this pisses me off so much, they turn their own slogans about how they handle development on their heads as soon as it's convenient.

So despite basically being finished it got shut down because it surpassed $600 mil projected program costs. I wonder if it would cost near as much for any prospective buyer. Even โonlyโ $300-400 mil would still be a fuck ton of money to pay.

Funny thing is that it's almost true with Google except the "subsidy" is the legality of spying and selling information about the public. One law could wipe out Google as they're almost entirely dependent on ads and data brokerage. They wouldn't be bankrupt instantly as Google has lots of cash and physical assets, along with a few trickles of income from other parts of the company, but their income is highly dependent on one income stream.

>NASA has been studying various contingencies, but officials appear to have settled on two different options for bringing the two astronauts back to Earth. They could still fly back on Starliner if NASA engineers become more comfortable with the uncertainty about the thruster performance, and if so, they would do so during the second half of this month or the first part of September. Alternatively, NASA could launch the Crew-9 mission with a complement of two rather than four astronauts, and Wilmore and Williams would join that "increment" on the space station and fly back to Earth in February 2025.

>Following China's launch of 18 G60 satellites on August 6th, Slingshot is tracking over 50 pieces of space debris that pose a significant hazard to LEO constellations below 800 km altitude.
>Tuesdayโs launch of 18 G60 satellites onboard a Long March 6 rocket is the first deployment for the Shanghai Spacecom Satellite Technology (SSST) groupโs Thousand Sails constellation โ which is expected to initially consist of 1,296 satellites, with plans to expand to around 15,000
>โIf even a fraction of the launches needed to field this Chinese mega-constellation generate as much debris as this first launch, the result would be a notable addition to the space debris population in LEO,โ said Audrey Schaffer, Vice President of Strategy and Policy.
>This isnโt the first time that a Long March 6 satellite launch has generated debris in LEO. In November 2022, a Long March 6 breakup led to hundreds of pieces of debris as reported in NASAโs Orbital Debris Quarterly News
More bad news. The Long March 6A might have a design flaw where the upper stage passivates itself by exploding.

Oh another tidbit worth noting (btw I am sourcing this from the last Starliner teleconference):
I remember an anon yesterday claiming the thruster doghouse could [potentially] cause the main fuel to leak. This is incorrect. The way the doghouse is designed means it could DETONATE THE ENTIRE MAIN FUEL TANK.
I simply do not see a scenario where Bill lets them come back on this spacecraft. Thatโs not a design oversight that is an incompetent design failure.

If Starliner is made to fly home empty, for example, the spacecraft will require a software update to configure the vehicle for an autonomous flight home. That would essentially revert the Starlinerโs computers to run on code the company originally wrote for a 2022 uncrewed test flight โ and NASA and Boeing havenโt revisited such software changes in a couple years, according to Stich.
Engineers then would need to run the software update through its paces at whatโs called a โintegrated test facilityโ on the ground, Stich added.
โThatโs really what would take time if we were to pivotโ to returning Williams and Wilmore home aboard the SpaceX Crew-9 mission, he said.

It is mind boggling stupid. What if something happens to the crew mid flight that doesn't kill them, but they fall unconscious, or the controls break? At that point boing pajeet code just kills them because they were too fucking lazy to have an auto pilot capability on call? And they've had years and years slower than SpaceX to develop it?

For $6/hour (this is a LOT in India) they will be eating very well.
