I did this from like November all the way until April/May when I had to tardwrangle /sfg/ OP status away from you all since it was so horrible after IFT-2. It went pretty well then I left you alone for the summer and you already know whats happened with that. Im back here to make sure /sfg/ goes smoothly.

as a zoomer i can somewhat attest to this, turns out people who have no interest in spaceflight are far more likely to gain it when they see a car launched into space than when they see some black woman talk about inclusivity and how their cubesat will help prevent bangladeshi's from drowning.
what's going to attract more attention, some boomer or cringeworthy failed teacher doing a "science outreach program" where they talk down to you like you're retarded, or some company posting nice drone footage of the largest rocket ever constructed?

it's kind of an irrelevant question because the reality is if boeing did proper intergrated hardware testing on the ground like a normal company they WOULD have caught the overheating issue, as we can see with ground tests after the issues were discovered in-orbit.
the fact of the matter is that this thing should've never been allowed to launch and WOULDN'T have if boeing gave a fuck about intergrated testing and caught the issue.
the fact that they didn't is either extreme negligence or intentional malice for fear of finding more issues and further delaying the launch.

There are incredible people within NASA who take risks with these sorts of things. It could have easily been a “good ol’ boys club” with Boeing. And right now we’d be relying on a fucking SOYUZ RESCUE with independent American access to space essentially shelved all over again.
People were pointing and laughing at SpaceX even as recently as the FH demo. Don’t forget that. Choosing them was a risk, in many ways. Choosing Starship for HLS was a risk.
But these risks have paid off in spades.

The whole story is crazy. They made fun of rogozin and soyuz. Rogozin then took to Fedor’s twitter account (Russia’s anthropomorphic robot similar to robonaut) and called a group of cosmonauts “drunks”

What does /sfg/ think of Suni? I had become extremely misogynistic and racist but after seeing her tour of the ISS she seems like a very intelligent woman. That undid some of the brainrot I got from /pol/ and now I'm only moderately misogynistic and racist, but I think as long as candidates are selected based on their skills and ability, then ultimately their race and gender doesn't matter. The libtards dream of all races in space can become a reality, as much as I'd like for whites and east Asians to leave them behind to make an ethnogalaxy. So long as we can uninamously agree to desert the kikes on Earth I'm happy.

Boeing and oldspace in general is like the "dumbphone" of Nokias, works reasonably well but they are being disrupted by a new company (SpaceX) which is akin to smartphones coming on the market
there are other companies trying to catch up and copy SpaceX but none have started to use these new technologies yet (reusable boosters)
they have captured the launch market much like Apple captured the smartphone market (and phone market in general) initially

Shifting gears here real quick but Musk removing public likes has been really annoying. People like Jeff Bezos rarely comment or retweet, but they like stuff on a daily basis and it was interesting to pick their brain and see what they were liking. Now that option does not exist anymore.

you could probably build an emergency life support unit to fit into a cargo dream chaser as an emergency rescue craft: think oxygen tanks and scrubbers to last 24 hours. Thanks to the relatively gentle reentry profile you wouldn't need too much in terms of seats and padding for the astronauts, just specific spots to park people in to keep the center of gravity within some set bounds.

They were testing well beyond operating conditions and told NASA immediately. Joint investigation found a problem both of them didn’t even expect to be possible, and a design change was made immediately.
Boeing apparently knew about the teflon seal issues on both previous flights and withheld it from NASA.

Removing public likes increased the usage of the like function significantly, which improved the quality and quantity of data available to the algorithm design team—and that increased engagement is generally just good for the site.
Likely better to have it as an option per account rather than a universal property of the site, though.

Clearly not, fellow autist. With snowpants, gloves, heavy jacket, thermal+longjohns, big hat, scarf, undercoat, you're basically wearing an environmental suit designed to regulate body heat and prevent death via exposure to the elements. In that way, is it so different than a spacesuit? I'm not looking forwards to winter, I barely camped at all this year.

the problem in question isn’t PR, which SpaceX is very open about. Starbase is free for all eyes. Hell they explicitly opened the VAB doors yesterday to show off the new ship.
This guy (trans fag most likely) is claiming SpaceX hides data and info from NASA which a) they don’t and b) Boeing literally does

Soyuz has more total launches but it also has a lot of failures in its history. The R7 family has 1,954 orbital launches and 109 failures between all of its members for an overall success ratio of 95%. Falcon 9 only has 366 launches to date with three failures, for a ratio of just over 99%.

Soyuz's record does get better after you get past the earlier variants. The Soyuz-U had an individual record of 97% across 786 launches.

It’s not, Nelson said he is “100% certain” Starliner will bring more humans up to the Station in the future. The only way this fails is if Boeing drops out and says they no longer wish to pursue the Commercial Crew contract (although I believe they are beholden to do a certain number of mission attempts anyways)
Crewed dreamchaser would be really dumb honestly. The more I see technical people in the industry discussing crewed DC the more and more I think it would be a disaster

Anonymous at Sat, 24 Aug 2024 22:54:10 UTC No. 16342267

imo artemis 3 needs to be modified to use starliner instead of orion. since it's just going to stay in LEO anyway there's no use in going through the expenses of using orion. plus, we can use it as a chance for a second crewed flight test to get past all of starliner's teething issues.

Boeing could just say they refuse to do any more missions and NASA would have to sue them over a breach of contract. But for NASA to sue Boeing over this would appear absurd, why would NASA want to use a cursed capsule so badly they are willing to sue over it? Perhaps Boeing and NASA would settle on Boeing paying their way out of the contract for some unspecified sum of money.

Umm based. Although I’ve heard the new Tundra and 4runner engines have problems—which is very uncharacteristic of Toyota.
Also it pains me to say but the Toyota lunar rover that JAXA is (supposedly) committed to building for Artemis looks retarded and an open-cabin Cybertruck that you just climb in and drive with your EVA suit would be way, way cooler

Toyota ICE vehicles are better and more efficient in every practical respect for consumers, they are far more practical vehicles to actually own and operate.
>faster
Teslas move faster, whereas Toyota manufactures their cars faster. It's not practical for me to treat public streets like a race course, so driving fast isn't actually relevant to anybody who's not a retard.
>cheaper
Toyota cars are FAR cheaper than Teslas, what the fuck are you smoking?
>modern
Subjective nonsense.

>less maintenance
People regularly put 200k+ miles on their jap cars without ever taking them into the shop. Teslas crap out far faster and the repair situation if you ever get into an accident is abysmal.

I'm sorry stupid, the reason boeing is bad is because they don't make things that work and are too busy bribing congress for their human centipede of stealing taxpayer money. If they worked it would be good, nothing to do with 'le new paradigm, new technology' or whatever silicon valley tech buzzwords you like. Electric cars are heavy and expensive. I like light and cheap.
Also, electric has no soul. That't actually the most important part other than working. For example, I hate the spacex eva suit because it looks soulless, the ancient suits we've been stuck with with are cooler.

They had commercial ambitions maybe forty years ago, but the H-2 was WAY to expensive to be competitive against the Ariane-5, let alone cheap post-cold war slavlaunchers like Proton or Zenit. Since then they've been content to just try and have a domestic rocket for government payloads that's not stupid expensive, and they've done pretty good at that. Each generation of H-rocket has been half the price of the one before it.
