Nobody wants it really. The contracts already secured are really the final countdown to the end of an obsolete company. Its not just why would anyone buy it, but why would anyone talented actually work there? They can only retain very old "talent" who are end of career retirees who are calling it quits by 2032 or before. And even they know, its likely they will be forced out even sooner than that.

how much would that be, and how efficient is the conversion? because that sounds like a good idea to me, considering that energy storage from solar energy is kind of difficult with the tech we have today, so storing a ton of energy as antimatter to heat water later when needed sounds good, if the process is efficient enough

On the night of 8/12, the OASES observation system at Ishigaki-jima observed the Moon's moving image and found at least 40 Moon flash candidate events in just 5 minutes. There have been no reports of 5 lunar flash candidates observed in such a short time.

I mean the obvious answer is that you shouldn't have to. This conversation can only happen if multiple things have gone wrong in a row. But now that they have, the answer is to not try anything until Butch and Suni have a separate craft with dedicated space suits to take refuge in, which could also have the switch flipper. If they want to make an automatic switch flipper from the ground they definitely could do that, but you don't get into this position in the first place by allowing your engineers to make the right decisions quickly.
An obvious second question stemming from your question is, why the fuck don't they just use the automatic switch flipper they already have in robonaut, and if it can't do that then what the hell can it do and why does it exist and what have they been doing for the last decade with $30 billion

Exactly what I’ve been thinking. Not only that but NASA is actively testing a new robotic helper, at least I’ve seen them testing one at the JSC mockup facility right next to flight hardware and actual Axiom mobility suit testing for Artemis. Seems like such an obvious use for billions of dollars if (when) they decide to bring back Butch and Suni on Crew-9.
Like are we being naive? All it would need to do is go through the undocking procedure, which is a slow process anyways and could be handled by the slow ass actuating fingers and arms. The only argument I can think of is if it needs to be flown manually. Didn’t butch and suni have to take it out of automated docking and do some manual flying to dock in the first place? Could be a problem that robonaut might not be equipped to handle.

Only reason would be all the talent with the NSSL connections that can be leveraged for all future efforts. That said, if SNC were to buy ULA, it would actually be interesting in that they would not longer technically have to rely on NASA contracts to fly Dreamchaser. They can rate it for VC themselves, and then launch payloads to orbit as a competitor to dragon for private missions for any parties interested and also compete with NASA for ISS, Axiom/Vast/Gravitics station launches, and/or flights to Gateway if and when that becomes a thing.

Unfortunately, regardless of who ULA gets sold to, they carry a strategic risk that's impossible to derisk, which is that their flight hardware core stage engines are BlOrgin. Which means that any BE-4 failure that happens at launch, during flight, during reentry slowdown, and up to landing burn, will INSTANTLY ground VC until FAA approves BlOrgin and thereby ULA. Neither ULA nor potentially SNC have any answer on what happens to their company if and when BlOrgin encounters a failure or vehicle RUD.

What actually happened was that Challenger blowing up fucked up NASA's launch schedule for a decade. Galileo was supposed to be deployed in May 1986 by Atlantis on using a Centaur G-prime, and would have arrived at Jupiter in late 1988. Shoemaker Levy-9 was a highly eccentric two-year orbit that approached Jupiter every second July. Galileo would have arrived too late to see the 1988 pass but it would have observed the one in 1990. That would have given astronomers enough data to predict it would dip within the Roche limit in 1992 and we would have had front row seats for the impact in 1994.

But Challenger blew up in January of 1986 and the Shuttle stopped flying until 1988. Galileo didn't launch until October of 1989 and since Shuttle-Centaur had been canceled it had to ride on an IUS solid kickstage. That meant it had to take a much more roundabout gravity assist trajectory, and in July 1994 it was still 18 months out from arriving at Jupiter.

If it wasn't that O-ring it was going to be something else. NASA had fifteen missions planned for 1986. With that sort of rate something going wrong was less of an "if" and more of a "when," and the Shuttle-Centaur program always had some very loose ideas about how mission safety was supposed to work.

Still, if everything had worked out we would have seen Ulysses and Galileo launch back to back in May, Atlantis would have deployed the Hubble Space Telescope in August, and Discovery would launched from Vandenberg twice.

That's incorrect, as any failure condition has an impact on Vulcan due to the engine performance and ability to stay ignited falls into question. An engine failure is an engine failure independent of whether its ascent or descent. ULA doesn't have the flexibility to say "well, our booster was descending, but loss was built into the flight" which Blue has, because they intend to land the rocket and reuse it over time.

The previous thinking that the core was small and had cooled down too much was wrong, it's the other way around.

Makes one wonder how much that could affect (the still quite in its infancy) planetary formation in the coming billion years as radioisotopes decay, presumably decreasing the time they'll have any geological activity and its intensity. Guess we won't be around to measure that anyway.

Samefag, one other take away from this is there is more seismic activity than previously thought. The oversized core blocks a greater percentage of S-waves than does Earth's. A large marsquake was detected right before the lander shutdown.

>>16332358
I'm not a geologist but based on what additional information I could find the problem seems to be occurring at the core-mantle boundary and proper convective heat transfer is not taking place. Rather the crust and mantle are acting like an insulator hence the lack of recent volcanic activity. Further speculation was that the core underwent a reheat event for unknown reasons causing the lower mantle to melt and become part of the outer core and fucking up its composition. Newer research seems to constrain the size of the outer core somewhat so I'm not clear what the latest theories propose.

>A denser layer of silicon-rich molten rock could act like a thermal insulator layer, preventing the core from cooling and solidifying, Samuel explained. This, in turn, would help explain why Mars lacks a planetary magnetic field — Earth's magnetic field results from the way in which its solidifying inner core stirs up its outer liquid core, creating powerful electric currents that generate a magnetic field.

I skimmed through the tour and it was basically just about the tank manufacturing (machining ortho or isogrid onto the aluminium-lithium plates, bump forming them, then some clean and anodization before showing the stir welding)
didn't seem to talk about anything else really
Atlas used isogrid but Vulcan changed to the simpler orthogrid,apparently its 2x as fast to cnc machine, lighter and stronger

ISS has a 3D printer but anyone know how it deals with the gravity difference? Zero G seems like it wouldn't cause too much trouble but the ISS is really a complex free fall environment.

No idea, just as clueless as you are, but for a standard printer I wonder if an accelerometer wouldn't be all that's needed to compensate for movements that could somehow affect it on very long prints, I'm not sure the stepper motor would have such fine and precise control. That's an old one by the way, they have a fancy metal one up there now.

Wouldn't have to adjust for much. Your step motor operates through friction, the extruder is mechanically pressure-fed with filament, and the object still needs to get attached to the plate so the printer knows where the parts are. You'd get away with next to no support scaffolds though.

There's really no difference IMO. All the production is relative to the printer and nothing really needs gravity, the pressure from the nozzle and its adhesion to the existing layer are the prinsry forces. Stepper motors, screws and belts are independant of gravity. Even if you got every astronaut to push off from one side of the ISS I doubt it would make any noticeable difference.

Just a thought but the proliferation of television had only recently happened (mid 50s) and there were still only a few channels available during the Apollo landings in the 70s. Everyone crowded around to see walter cronkite cover the event on CBS.
No one watches cable anymore. Kids aren’t inspired by CNN or Fox, nor do they give a shit. Those are boomer drama channels.
We live in a boring, enfeebled point in the history of internet/television. For example, remember in the early 00s-10s when you’d watch let’s plays of your favorite game? Yeah now if you try to look up gameplay of these games you’re met with hundreds of modern archived livestreams of gameplay that have replaced these pre-recorded let’s plays. That’s unfortunately what it’s moved to. This sort of shift from “push media” to “pull media” where kiddos and the public are needing to actively search out what they want instead of it being fed to them.
It will take the public actively looking for a NASA livestream of these Artemis landings, which if they’re not interested in already then they’re not going to watch. NASA has an uphill battle they need to be prepared to fight (in terms of getting the public primed and ready for this. It NEEDS to be on the radar) and I’m afraid they aren’t prepared to do what is needed. Elon will be a big help with X and his own tweets that get lots of engagement. But NASA needs to have a plan to incentivize the public.

yeah i'm of the same mind, the moment i heard all the yapping about cryogenic propellant it just sounded to me like the first thing that midwit naysayers clamped onto because "it hadn't been done before" despite the fact that we know how fluid works in a vaccuum and we've had ullage thrusters for about half a decade now.
the very first time i heard a close friend of mine mentioned it as we were discussing it i just had to kind of shake my head in disbelief, this is what people thought was going to hold up this super ambitious project, as opposed to, y'know, re-entry, landing both stages and especially the tower catch.

Not necessarily a “land grab” (normies shit their pants at the idea of le colonialism) but somehow you have to make it into a holy war of the evil ILRS program vs the “democratic” Artemis.

if/when going to space becomes more commonplace like with space hotels or a moon colony then people would understand the importance of launch sites and so on as far as it concerns those directly but I don't know how you would make the general public more interested in space in general
but there are some practical applications already which affect people like starlink (of course you have stuff like GPS but you don't need many launches for that)

But aren't launches like 1.5-2.0 thrust-to-weight? Is "spaceflight is high G" a myth?
Is it only during reenty? Is it even a problem to faint from high G's during reentry and then wake up during the parachute decent?

less grief if you have 2 men and 2 women on board, these are bound to be very competent people if they are working for SpaceX anyway
are they the 2 best if you stack rank all possible spacex employees that would like to go on the flight and have similar experience (one needs to have medical experience)? maybe, maybe not, but does it matter in this case?
it very well could be the case they are, the fact that DEI has become so widespread kind of poisons everything

and in fact if you look at it from the experiment point of view, it probably makes sense to have women and men on board as most of the experiments are about the effects of radiation, microgravity and so on in space so it makes sense to see if there are differential effects
its not like Polaris Dawn or SpaceX are highlighting the sexes of the crew members in any way (unlike NASA is with the Artemis missions where it seems to be basically the top priority)
