previous head of roscosmos rogozin accused berger of doing something in syria, but it got mistranslated as him accusing beric of being a barbriminal instead.
rogozin's life story is one big clownshow, just one funny joke after another since spacex came along. first he lost his market share, then his position then his balls.

Question: I have a JWST that I want to launch to Lagrange point using Starship. Since starship primarirly goes "only" to LEO, I need to include my own propulsion + fuel as part of the payload, but there's plenty of space for that.
This is in contrast to how JWST was originally launched using Ariane5, directly to Lpoint. Do I understand the difference in operation correctly?

You do realize that Starship refueling would exist right? There is no need to do your own propulsion to the Lagrange point. Maybe you need propulsion for adjustments when at the Lagrange point but theres no need for a whole separate section for once you get to LEO to boost all the way out to the Lagrange point just refuel and the Starship will take you there. This is like the absolute basics of Starship, where exactly are you coming from as in what board?

I saw this a long time ago so I can’t provide receipts but I saw a SX employee on twitter saying that at this point they’re still prioritizing hardware/software and they aren’t exactly prioritizing launch cadence yet. i.e. internally, they’re still okay if the time between flight 4 and flight 5 is longer than it was between flights 3 and 4.
Supposedly cadence is going to be a priority further down the road. At this point they want to make sure they can successfully hit the milestones they need to hit, so they’re going “slow” (relatively speaking) in many areas in order to get things right before flight

Doesn’t matter, we do these things because we want to. Look at the ISS. No one built it with self sufficiency in mind. We didn’t expect to find raw materials to turn a profit in LEO.

>An important note on “dissent” and NASA deliberations on Starliner. The agency’s culture truly has changed. There is much more open dissent now than in the past, and it is better tolerated. Why am I bringing this up? Because I believe the robust internal NASA debate over Starliner’s safety is healthy and will ultimately result in the correct decision being made.
>Smart people I trust say there is still a decent chance that Butch and Suni come back on Starliner. That is preferable to NASA for many reasons (keeping second crew provider, enormous task of reshuffling ISS logistics etc). However the decision will absolutely be made on crew safety. Now that it has been publicly confirmed there is “dissent” within NASA about Starliner’s viability, I do believe it will be difficult to put the genie back in the box—that is to convince all stakeholders that it is best to fly crew home on this Starliner.

Another banger from OIG
>While NASA requires its aerospace contractors to have quality assurance programs that comply with SAE International’s AS9100D standards on quality management systems, we found Boeing’s quality management system at Michoud does not adhere to these standards or NASA requirements. NASA engages DCMA to conduct surveillance of Boeing’s core and upper stage manufacturing efforts at Michoud, and when deficiencies in quality are found, DCMA issues Corrective Action Requests (CAR) to the contractor. CARs are labeled Level I through IV, with Level I the least serious deficiency. From September 2021 to September 2023, DCMA issued Boeing 71 Level I and II CARs, as well as a draft Level III CAR. According to DCMA officials, this is a high number of CARs for a space flight system at this stage in development and reflects a recurring and degraded state of product quality control. Boeing’s process to address deficiencies to date has been ineffective, and the company has generally been nonresponsive in taking corrective actions when the same quality control issues reoccur

I might be in the minority here but yeah even if they ultimately choose to fly back on Starliner, it’s good that NASA can have these deliberations and raise concerns. And whatever choice they end up making will be one that had to have been argued for very very hard until a majority are satisfied.
That being said, I personably think the evidence points to Starliner simply being too unsafe to try and bring humans back on. We’ll see how NASA feels about it.

So the astronauts are stuck up there now, and they'll have to come back down with SpaceX's Dragon, right?

I get your point and at a certain point yeah, even $7 bil or some crazy number per launch doesn’t really matter when it’s pennies on the dollar of America’s insane budget. But at the same time you can’t excuse the fact that it’s a bottleneck. They were pumping space shuttles out like hotcakes. Meanwhile they can barely get a single SLS out of the factory over the course of 3 years (Artemis 1 launched in 2022, Artemis 2 is currently Q3 2025 and is likely to slip to 2026)
Inexcusable. That’s a shit load of money and resources and it’s shit like this and MSR that creates problems down the line for more important missions and projects.

I think the plan is do the two or three Artemis missions (after killing lunar gateway as an unnecssary complication) and then either kill it entirely or switch to an entirely Starship based mission profile that's 1/100th the cost. I think attitudes will change once Starship or even New Glenn are actually putting things in orbit and mission planners realize all the new stuff they can do that they never had the budget for otherwise.

When starship is functioning it's a matter of launch windows. Cash is a solved problem. Do you think NASA will even have the Orion heat shield done next window? NASA is such a small portion of SpaceX revenue now with starlink that even if it means they cut ties then it doesn't matter. The federal government would need to step in and say they can't do that. And then I'll have the names and addresses of the people who made that decision. And then we'll see.

I think Musk is serious about going, and doing a lot of it on his own dime. But NASA is going to voluntarily offer a ton of resources to do it together. I think Musk knows this. NASA knows this. Hell all accounts point to NASA being very proud of their relationship w/ SX who are very quickly becoming their preferred partner.
HLS Moonship is giving NASA intimate knowledge to Starship and you can bet your ass they will be more than happy to throw together a joint Mars mission eventually with all that they’re doing right now. I think Musk will have aspects he will be fine doing on his own; but ultimately NASA will be there to put in the work and get them the resources they need. And this will likely be the future of NASA as they pivot away from ownership like how they do with SLS/ISS right now and the landscape changes to private stations, private landers, etc.
NASA provides R&D facilities and money. NASA provides legal framework for nuclear reactors. Stuff like that

it doesn’t help that there’s nothing but incentives to slip and just ask for more money. I guarantee you NASA will be very careful about how they award these type of contracts going forward. But it’s not like Boeing is going to see a contract past its current obligations anyways. No amount of political power could get NASA to sway at this point, I don’t think. Everything NASA does is via a bid and so long as SX is bidding, NASA can always award them the more competent grading and tell Boeing to take a hike. which is what will happen going forward.

Tranny ideology is taught in schools and the ideology of gender fluidness. Then the promote it by making kids see drag shows and such. Then when kids get confused because of this propaganda, they are then transitioned by the state governments with the help of the councilers and school. Thats without the parents ever being told whats happening to their children. If the parents disagree with this ideological propaganda, they are told they are sexists and racists and their children are being taken away by the state to be transitioned at the state clinic.

As soon as there is a successful booster catch, everything is going to change. That will be such a massive advancement in modern technology. Putting things into orbit will be nice, but the ability to reuse the booster? That is the big hurdle that needs to be figured out. It's going to happen, we just don't know how soon.

Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, and Stoke Space are all still in the game. Stoke is proving that you can develop a full-flow staged combustion engine with a shockingly small budget and they're trying to leapfrog the status quo by going for full reuse. Blue has a partially reusable launcher that's almost big enough to qualify for the super-heavy lift class and could be used to replace SLS as an Orion launcher if you put a Centaur V on top as a third stage. Neutron is probably going to be the Antares of the reusable age, but that's better than nothing. Also, Northrop might get in the game too if they decide to put landing legs on their Antares 300.

If it significantly damages stage 0 or the tower, then all the time spent in repair will be time spent in refining and producing Raptor 3s. While they go through their present supply of 2s or they'll just scrap all existing 2s and transition all future flights directly to Block 3 Raptors, and pushing the bar even further.

Yeah. It's an interesting juxtaposition to be in. Here: >>16315952, SN569 of Block 2 seems to be the highest numbered engine that can be seen. And all these are valid and useful engines, but its clear that Block 3 SN1 is just vastly superior to them all; and it makes most sense to start using these on flights as soon as possible to start getting that flight data to further optimize and improve them. So what then do you do with the hundreds of engines you already have on deck. One avenue is simply to test them till failure and accrue more data on the engine, but that's not nearly as useful as the design is already obsolete. The other is to mount them to ships and yeet them to orbit, but you're limited by regulatory limitations and political rubberbanding between parties that like you and hate your guts.
It's the ultimate curse of efficiency and clean slate design, where the ability to exceed is ultimately limited by the regulatory structure that can't wrap its head around the pace of innovation. Which increasingly seems to be why Elon threw his hat into Trump's rink. Getting a guy who'll dismantle the bureaucracy that's holding you back to such a massive degree that, so that you don't innovate yourself into an early grave because you can't fly fast enough, makes sense. Unfortunately, there's a lot of other negatives in doing that too; and it's unclear if that is the right choice or not in the grand scheme of things.

Boring company is not showing crazy progress because it's unironically a really fucking difficult problem. Making a reliable machine that can chew through whatever material at a fast speed and all its ancillary bullshit is unironically probably more difficult than starship. The main reason their Boring machines are quick ish compared to other machines is because they scaled down the tunnel size which is no good if you want to be drilling habitat tunnels. I sort of wonder if it's even possible without resorting to crazy shit like nuclear/plasma drill heads.
>He can independently do batteries and solar panels and drilling and electric rovers for moon and mars internally within SpaceX

Tradeoff is that it's basically unable to be serviced. Elon claims they will cut them open to service and weld closed but I have my doubts about that. Pretty sure they will have to swap out whole sections of the faulty engine. But if they are making enough that they can just swap the problematic engines out and the replacement engine parts aren't too expensive to then it doesn't really matter?

the difference this time is that they didn't include a specific date they could launch by. As you know spacex and the FAA work together on approval for the flight plans, so in the past when they've stated these dates it's because they've got word from the FAA that short of any unforeseen issues in the plan or mishap reports, approval will be granted by that date.

Tesla was, in my opinion, a way to generate revenue while going all in on battery technology. Much like the Merlin and F9 were built to be a workhorse and generate revenue to get to Starship.
>neuralink are still pretty new companies with respect to what they are actually doing (hardware)
Neuralink has created some serious technology. They are still new, and even the FDA gave them "breakout technology" status to speed up progress. Being able to control a computer 100% with your mind can easily be integrated into full-blown control of anything you connect to. Imagine being able to connect to your car and drive it with your mind. I would bet every dime I have there is some internal study to connect a Neuralink device to a Tesla. I could do it and I'm an amateur engineer at best.

There's a ~50% chance they will roll a pilot remote supervised fleet of ~100-1000 Teslas for the public to play around and for Tesla to get the feel of their service. And then scale it up from there.
They probably have a v13 cooked in the background waiting to roll out for their taxi fleet.

Imagine what Tory is feeling. Imagine being the CEO of a rocket company and being THAT wrong. So sure of himself that Spacex was exaggerating how clean the Raptor 3 design is by releasing pictures of an incomplete engine. So unable to consider the possibility that Spacex had simply done the thing they said they would do, because he thought such a thing wasn't possible, because he could never conceive of his OWN company managing to create such a thing.

If SpaceX plans on eventually producing a 1000 starships a year (and assuming a 10:1 ship-booster ratio), that means that they will have to produce around 12300 raptors a year minimum, assuming that by the time they're at such high value production levels they're using 9 engines on starship. That is roughly one 1.375 Raptor engines coming off the production line every hour, every day, year round. Very difficult, but entirely doable by SpaceX I believe. The company will have to grow significantly in size though to manufacture that many ships, boosters, and engines, and maintain the logistics for large scale Mars colonial operations. Probably looking at a similar number of Employees as Tesla for SpaceX by 2040 (so around 150k)

I firmly believe that SpaceX knew there was a failure mode on the table with the changes that NASA demanded. So when it fuggin eggsploded on the pad, they just said: "See? We warned you." For the same reason they were able to diagnose the problem almost immediately and fix it in very little time. NASA then took it on the chin because it was literally their fault the failure happened and this couldn't be contested.

Oh, my bad. So, the root cause of the explosion is known. The titanium "bullet" that resulted in the destruction of the capsule formed as a result of changes to the capsule that NASA demanded. It was a spontaneous explosion, but it wasn't a spontaneous incident. Had they allowed SpaceX to keep the design as it was, unmolested, the failure would not have occurred. It's been years now, so I can't recall the exact change that caused the failure, but if I recall it had something to do with Super Draco placement. I could be utterly wrong because I have only ever seen anyone talk about this happening a handful of times since the year it occurred. The findings are pretty easy to locate though if you Google the investigation's findings. NASA were the ones who asked for a bunch of shit like smaller windows/placement, fewer seats, etc.

no, something around up to 400 have already been used, scrapped or tested to destruction
so maybe max 200 Raptor 2s, but more likely something like 150
39 are used on each test flight, Ship v2 is going to use Raptor 2s I think
so maybe they don't need to scrap anything after all, they might have all the engines they need for the current test campaign

Shielding is the big problem. It's basically the only realistic reason to ever harvest an asteroid. All the manufacturing would still happen on earth and be launched, but surrounding the thing with ten feet of gravel might be cheapest with something already up a well. It likely will not be needed for a very long time though, as it's really a solution to a human forcing function. When Mars becomes the type of place where you might want to bring children or retire to then it'll make sense. Imagine putting a child into a Starship for eight months, or exposing a normal 70 year old's veins to gravity after 8 months of 0g.
More likely though is that the Aldrin Cycler is a product of chemical rockets, and something large enough for spin gravity may be able to be moved with some other method of propulsion that gets much easier to develop once mass to orbit gets cheaper.

Fucking how? It looks like there's a new ring of connectors, yes, presumably for plumbing and sensors, and the upper housing section is larger, but that's it. Everything from around the top of the turbopump down is just gone. You can say everything was just "incorporated" but 99% of the volume of plumbing is the internal volume where the fluid flows. Raptor 3 is like a third of the actual volume of Raptor 1. Where did everything go?

Lying about the reality of biology to young impressionable children is why more of them are getting confused, you dolt. If i were to institute propaganda in schools on every level that teaches 6 yearolds that they can become tranformers and transform into their favourite car, then when they act confused and say they might want to, instantly prescribe them medication without telling their parents, or telling their parents their child will kill themselves if they do not use this medication, then reccomending surgeries to the 6 yearold child that cut off their limbs and replace them with car parts, they’ll probably do it too.
These kids have no fucking autonomy to understand if whay they’re feeling is even temporary or permanent, they just live in the world that they are taught, that age is where the basics of your worldview and understanding of reality come into play.
Tell them they can fly if they flap their wings hard enough and soon you’ll find dozens of children at the bottom of a cliff’s edge.

For raptor one specifically, alot of the wiring is data logging for basically every potential trouble spot where there could be an issue with flow temperature etc all for development purposes
Raptor two delated alot of this data logging hardware.
Raptor three is a culmination of probably millions of simulations and billions of data points from all the previous engines. Even more hardware was delated as raptor three is now at a point in design where there is such little guesswork anymore about how the engine operates, how propellent flows and the temp fluxes involved.
Any type of plumbing or sensors from the pumps downward that you don't see probably doesn't need that much of a physical pathway and can be incorporated invisibly into the engine
On F9 where they also have lots of data on how Merlin runs, they were able to solve the oxygen leak issue by deleting the sensor and piping as it just wasn't needed
Merlin could very well end up like raptor 3 with all the data they have but they are hamstrung by NASA because F9 is a heritage vehicle and a redesign would mean completely new recertification

If that doesn't work I've got like 3 separate flying superfortress ideas to try next.

The USA needs to adopt a zero tolerance policy and try to prevent chink boots from even coming close to the lunar surface. We used to have balls and sabotage shit back in the 80s, why don’t we do that anymore

The glowies who inherited the surveillance state of the 60s are like 3rd generation wealth, utterly incompetent and reliant on others. Modern glowies are a pale shadow of the Men who came before them, much like with NASA.

Alright that’s it, cancel MSR. But also when China does their own mars sample return we either intercept and steal it or just blow it out of orbit so they can’t win.
They don’t deserve the stars

Wait, I just looked up the actual numbers and the moon is estimated to have only 0.6km^3 of water? How spread out is that? It isn't just solid clear ice is it? Is it going to be cheaper to just send up a few Starship loads of water?

Easy, a cubic meter of water equals one ton, 0.6 of a cubic kilometer is therefor 600 tons. That's only a couple Starship launches.

Blue Origin literally already has molten silicate electrolysis cells that produce all the necessary materials to feed their solar cell printer, which they also developed. We already have all the tech we need to immediately start building up in-situ industries on the Moon and Mars, today.

It really depends on what NASA actually has to offer to SpaceX. I don't think even we appreciate just how far ahead of the rest of the industry SpaceX is.

hydrolox upper stages are limited in their LEO payload capacity because they have proportionally lower TWR with heavier payloads than denser propellant stages get.
Basically it looks better if you only consider smaller payloads sent to higher energy trajectories.

600,000 Lunar Starship launches. I was comparing to Earth reservoirs.
>>16316824
Right, but in what form? Is it like Earth rocks where every shovel full has a few components? Like you have 5% water in a handful of moon dust? I'm just not convinced it would ever be more cost effective to scrape moon dirt than to ship more water and fuel from Earth.

Yup, to them lying comes as natural as breathing. First, they'll say that you're right-wing conspiracy theorists if you suggest that X is happening. Some time later they'll say that X is real and it's a good thing and you're far-right X-phobe if you think it's bad.

That Starship data is for expendable mode, right? Current version can launch about 50t to LEO and Block 2 will do 100t.

There's no "current version" for Starship. The Raptor 3 engines alone would save 50T of mass. Not to mention other design changes that increase thrusts, efficiencies, etc that would increase payload well ahead of 100T design limit.

It always existed, but what it actually exists as is genuine revulsion of your birth sex because your mind is telling you you shouldn't be what you see. That isn't what's happening. People are miserable because culture tells them that everything they like is shit and gaslighting themselves into thinking something must be wrong with them instead of with society's values and expectations, so they get told "maybe you're miserable because you're trans," and since everyone supports that decision, they go for it, but then it doesn't help because they aren't, and that's why most of them commit suicide.
