So with tesla investing in magnesium alloy tech do you think it's possible for it to replace steel in a future starship?

Not unless they want a starship that is very flammable at reentry temperatures up but maybe that's the point of the research. Magnesium alloy is already common in cars.

>Recent developments in magnesium alloying has led to the formation of two alloys, WE43 and Elektron 21, which are self-extinguishing and significantly less flammable because of their composition. Likewise, an anodizing process called Tagnite was formulated to deter any concern with galvanic and saltwater corrosion.

Yes. I'd like to see it work in full scale profitably instead of just in a pilot plant. You can extract any trace elements from brine if you have enough money to sink. But this is not as insane as extracting gold from seawater.

That shitty but popular, bullshit clickbait AI generated and stolen 3rd party content YouTube channel "Great SpaceX" is actually run by a bunch of chinks in Malaysia. Its a group of young Asians, they revealed themselves in a years old episode, barely speaking English. But at least its not Pajeets, they seem to be (or, were, until clickbait profiteering set in) just engineering nerds, fans of spaceflight like us, but from a shitty country that cant possibly participate in such lofty goals.

Team space is a relic of the shuttle age where every company under NASA agreed to stay in their lanes so they could keep sucking up as much money as possible using cost plus comtracts and when NASA didnt have a choice but to fraternize with their enemies like the Russians. Team space no longer exists in the industry due to the disruption of new space, and anyone that still uses it in this day is either so naive they still believe that we could all work together like some communist utopia in a competitive commercial setting, or they are crybullies that are attempting to use the concept of team space to enforce a faux moral superiority they have over anyone else that even dares to criticize NASA and by association old space like Boing or Locksneed. They are either fools or malicious, almost no in between.

I understand why you're mad. The last thread becoming a Ukrainian shitfling fest is irritating, and I don't want the thread to turn into speculative scifi. The reason I ask here and not on lit's /sffg/ is because that general is usually crap, and because I am specifically looking for realistic depictions of spaceflight. Scifi or realistic speculation, either way I'm going to get better recommendations for what I'm looking for here. I'm not interested in far-future fantasy.
Would you dismiss books like Zubrin's as off-topic? Those are also speculative fiction, largely, but seem to be on-topic for the thread.

>the only way we're getting a colony on mars is if it has (economic) value
the fag's entire video hinges on this one incorrect assertion so there's not actually much at all to dig into. All of his videos are based on the claim that the point of space colonization is to funnel resources back to earth and that if colonizing a planet isn't directly profitable for earth-based interests then it's completely impossible. He briefly acknowledges that spacex has starlink and elon funding but handwaves it as not being enough
>mars is less profitable than the moon, has less raw materials (he doesn't provide any argument for this)
genuinely thinks that the 9 month travel time between earth and mars is going to severely impact the price of shipping raw materials either way; I don't think he gets that the fuel cost/dV requirement is very similar, and he intentionally ignores that the 9 month travel time is entirely coasting. Baseless assertion that (uncrewed resource vessel) travel time impacts profitability.
He's also a helium 3 retard who thinks lunar h3 for fusion power is going to be *THE* major industry - once again he somehow doesn't even know that we can just make helium 3 for cheaper than it would ever be to mine on the moon and return to earth. Neutron activation of lithium-6 in a breeder reactor creates tritium, tritium decays into helium 3, literally infinite fusion glitch. As a matter of fact we as a species currently vent more helium 3 to atmosphere than we use in fusion experiments, because it's a minor waste product from reactors that nobody bothers to capture.
I'm disappointed at how little actual meat there is in his videos to rip into, everything else entirely hinges on the two or three baseless and easily falsified claims. He also ignores the importance of ISRU on mars being able to create methane and acts as though hydrogen is the best option for fuel while avoiding mention of the many issues it incurs. Wasn't even worth the time to write this up

I'm genuinely concerned about starship orbital refueling having issues specifically because of the autogenous pressurization system. Currently both Starship and Superheavy use exhaust gasses from the turbopumps for pressurization, which means H2O and CO2 gases are introduced into the cryogenic tanks and form ice. We know pretty much for certain that icing in the tank is what killed the booster in IFT-2 and probably also caused IFT-3's landing relight failure, and I suspect that IFT-2's starship had icing issues as well. Elon picked turbopump exhaust for pressurant because it eliminated heat exchangers on the raptors (best part is no part) but now they're having to add in a ton of ice mitigation shit all over with baffles and extra filters on the engine inlets, and that's not even considering the potential havoc of using dirty, ice-contaminated propellants to refuel a depot.
Elon's said something like 'if everything's going perfect then you aren't pushing hard enough, you should be failing at least ~10% of the time' or something along those lines, and I have to wonder if eliminating heat exchangers is the push too far that will cause issues down the line. My pet theory is that they'll add heat exchangers to the Vacuum Raptors, because the booster should be significantly less sensitive to both the contaminated propellants and also the added mass of ice catcher filters, whereas starship is much more sensitive to added dry mass and filling a depot with water and CO2 ice is just mega stupid. If they add a heat exchanger to RVac then they don't end up with 2 different sea level raptor SKUs but they still fix the issue on Starship. Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk, I will now drink hydrazine.

that's extra bulkheads/common domes, unnecessary dry mass. again a symptom (adding extra parts that aren't needed) of the disease (eliminating a part that is). using clean uncombusted warm propellant from heat exchangers would allow you to have only one CH4 and one LOx tank and not worry at all about contamination, which optimizes dry mass and keeps better parts commonality with non-tanker starships. Water and CO2 ice in the tanks and the payload bay door are the only real problems Starship hasn't fixed yet, and one of them is extremely easy to fix without adding much mass or complexity.

if you are worried about something like that, the tanker portion that gets deposited into the other ship or depot could be entirely separate from the propellants that the ship uses to get into orbit and get back
i.e. a complete non-issue, an extra tank-wall might decrease the mass to orbit but who cares really, this is supposed to be reusable
what less mass to orbit translates to is more launches, which just means more propellant used on earth
slightly higher cost, not an issue on a level that jeopardizes the concept itself
its still going to be a complete step change and paradigm shift (however cliche that is)

I realize that, but the ice causes more than just upmass issues; it also affects reliability. Going back to heat exchangers on at least RVac only adds a few parts total but could eliminate several times as many other parts, and all while improving reliability AND launch cadence as well. With the current ice buildup in the tanks they're absolutely going to have to detank any residuals and purge the CO2 and water before they can refill and fly again, if not every single launch (it will be every launch, but even assuming it isn't) then every two or maybe at the extreme every 3 launches because the fraction of ice in the tanks will increase for each non-purged reuse cycle. Using dirty exhaust gases for autogenous pressurization is just such a dumb choice that causes so many goddamn issues all for the sake of eliminating one minor part.
Elon is flying too close to the sun on this one; the voices in my head told me so.

Mars will experience absurd deflation as literally everything there goes for its price + it's mass in launch cost down to just its price. I have no fucking idea how that will work out economically but it might mean the SpaceX investment ultimately trickles to all the early Martian industrialists. There will probably be a constant trickle of luxury goods stowed inside the crewed ships that still arrive after the cargo ships stop. Maybe there's a sizable market for Mars rocks, but I doubt it

Not a real problem, tap-off pressurization is being done to get a working vehicle fast. The real issue with the heat exchangers is that it's another difficult flow rate & timing balancing act, not worth solving now while there are more useful problems to solve, but it will be solved. Think of it like the disposable hotstaging ring.

not enough war, and too many comforts. Survival used to be a struggle even as close as our grandparents’ lives when a lot of work was manual, you could die easily from a cold or flu and medicine was a lot less trivial, food was more locally sourced and in some cases “grow or starve”
Now everyone sits around staring at their electronic rectangle all day looking for problems, and making up issues
These problems won’t exist in space when you don’t give a fuck about earther politics bc you’re too busy worrying about Bob and Lisa outside the mars hab doing an EVA to fix the leak. You’re too busy helping Janice find the source of the catastrophic greenhouse collapse due to some chemical. You’re too busy fixing the ISRU machine so you don’t run out of oxygen.
Problem is, these earther problems such as identity politics exist within NASA and shitty contractors like Boeing and it is holding us back, tethered to Earth

surviving re-entry is going to happen next time, booster catch might very well happen next time too
ship docking and prop transfer won't be a problem whatsoever, why would docking be difficult exactly? just need working RCS
they already demonstrated small scale prop transfer, well enough to complete that small NASA contract
the only real question marks are booster catch to a smaller degree and ship catching to a higher degree
so if booster catch works on IFT-5, I think its just ship catch to go really + refining all of it which will happen with more flights
Anonymous at Mon, 26 Aug 2024 21:20:10 UTC No. 16346647
Convince me that SpaceX chasing booster catch and reuse now instead of focusing on Starship space operations (relight, control, payload, reentry) is the right move because I can't see it

>relight, control, payload, reentry
shit they already know how to do with F9 and Dragon, if they don't solve booster and ship catch then all that other shit is somewhat irrelevant with respect to the goal of rapid reusability
they also did this previously by starting to work on the ship before the booster, the ship was more difficult so thats why they worked on it and did the bellyflips and so on, the booster was a somewhat known quantity (just scaled up) from F9
and going even more back, starting with the raptor before starting to do other stuff
the most difficult and thus probably most time consuming problem first
otherwise you might be in a situation where you solve a bunch of easy shit first, use time for that and then are unable to solve a difficult but critical problem and can't get the system to function, if you drop the programme at that point you wasted a lot of time on the easy problems that became moot

If the catch attempt fails and knocks out Pad A for some time thats time wasted that could have been spent on more Starship flights
Also really fucking tired of seeing a Starship flight, it goes well and then Elon comes up with next batshit crazy idea to pull off on the next one which means FAA has to spend extra months reviewing it for the license, and now its already almost September with no flight on the horizon, I wanna see more launches sooner dammit

I think he refers to the fact that SpaceX skipped doing engine relight and payload door testing on IFT-4 even though they tested those on IFT-3
i.e. they are prioritizing ship and booster landing and catch before getting payload delivery to work, another strategy might be to do payload delivery first and start launching starlinks and then after that works try to start catching the boosters and ships
the latter is what they basically did with F9, they didn't directly try to do re-use of the booster, it was a secondary mission after payload delivery

If it's called one thing on government paperwork, that doesn't mean that is "technically" the name, as if government paperwork filed by SpaceX is the most authoritative source for what something from SpaceX is named (it isn't.) Whatever Elon personally calls it is the most official name it has, and the most "technically correct" name.

Hmmm. It’s complicated. One side believes the earth is flat, the other openly love Nazis and WvB put man on the Moon and was in the SS. But there’s so much overlap it doesn’t matter
Simple answer is that, by and large, nobody cares about space really. Whether you’re alt-right, libertarian, far-right, progressive, communist… no one cares and no one has co-opted space as a political movement aside from “lefties like climate science” but even that is skin-deep and they equally shriek about the emissions that rockets give off so…
If you want a “party” that supports space your best bet is this sort of new emerging “Unity Party” of Trump, RFK, Tulsi, and most importantly Elon who is putting the bug in Trump’s ear about space flight, nuclear power, American-led AI, etc

didn't think of that but that is actually a very good way to create jobs in all states and simultaneously incentivize private space corporations doing good tech as these will be the customers
so a bunch of jobs in all states and some of that money will be funneled to the space technology sector through contracts of all kinds
as long as space force continues to try to procure through private companies instead of through cost+ contracts like NASA has done in the past and with specific contractors
pretty nice to not need actual scientists/engineers as that might be difficult to do in every random state, but it makes sense to decentralize military bases and the workers/soldiers there can be basically anyone (though I guess a bunch will need technical knowledge too)

The difference between having a 50 state space national guard systems and having one Space Force is that the 50 will produce massive competition between each other, which is what made SpaceX so good to begin with. It was all of SpaceX's newspace competition that lit a fire under Musk's ass and made him devote the resources necessary to beat out all the competition.

Polaris Dawn is Gemini 2.0, its existence, launch, and success, is basically the ring of the final bell that the era of old space is over. Gemini's prime contractors were Martin Company and McDonnel Aircraft Corporation. Both of which folded into Boeing when Apollo matured. There's no need for Elon to gloat, SpaceX is now defacto the new Apollo and will define Artemis and beyond via Starship. Gloating is for the mentally weak. Boeing would gloat, SpaceX lives in an echelon of its own, and none in the past decade have come close to challenging their skill, prowess, and insane capabilities. Not even Bezos with his infinite money cheat code and Blue Origin, despite forming around the same time, and having spent equal to or greater than SpaceX in cost, have achieved similar.

>350 Bar
This is just SpaceX autism trying to make their engines as powerful as possible. The rocket industry is really the only industry where they try to push absolutely everything to its max just behind the threshold of catastrophic failure, rather than trying to design rockets that have decent safety margins so that you don't have retarded shit like a high percentage of your rocket launches being scrubbed because of multiple fuel leaks or rockets going kaboom because you just had to eek out a few extra kilonewtons of thrust or a few seconds added onto the isp.
It's like instead of designing a Toyota Corolla, they keep designing F1 race cars.
>inb4 getting to space is hard
When you're trying to maximize absolutely everything for full payload potential, highest efficiency, etc then yeah, getting into space is hard....Or...You could design a less powerful rocket with a smaller payload that actually works when you want it to work and operates at safer pressures that aren't constantly on the precipice of blowing the fuck up. Shit even for rocketry, 350 Bar is a very high pressure. A lot of rockets work at like 150-200 Bar. 350 Bar is just straight up what the actual fuck are you doing nigga levels of pressure.

I would say that boarding operations would actually be very common in a future space faring society. Everything from enemy ships giving up so that they all don't die to stations and even colony stations having fuckshit happen like terrorist attacks or just social unrest. Having a boarding party becomes essential. Space warfare wouldn't all just be flinging casaba howitzers at each other and turning both fleets into glowing slag. Much in the same way as to how most wars on Earth don't result in countries expending their strategic stockpiles of nuclear weapons due to a low intensity insurgency happening in a region. Sometimes blowing up the space colony with no survivors isn't the best option. Dare I say, that is usually never the best option.

>Nuclear thermal rockets using indigenous extraterrestrial propellants
>by Robert M. Zubrin, Martin Marietta Astronautics
>If water is acquired on Mars, then methane can be produced (along with oxygen) by using heat from the nuclear reactor to strip CO from martian CO2, and then reacting the CO with H2O in the water gas shift reaction to produce hydrogen and CO2. Some of the CO2 is recycled to be stripped, and the remainder is then catalytically reacted with the hydrogen to produce methane and water. As can be seen from Table l, methane is an excellent candidate propellant for a NIMF vehicle, yielding specific impulses well in excess of 600 seconds. Furthermore, since it does not contain oxygen, the use of methane eliminates one of the major problems associated with either CO2 or H2O, namely oxygen attack, and would be compatible with conventional NERYA carbide fuel elements. Methane, however, fully dissociates at temperatures of interest for nuclear propulsion, and the free carbons thus created may cause coking problems. This is a question that must be resolved experimentally.

The Star Trek connection
A surprising number of child sex abusers appear to be Trekkies. Trying to figure out what that means, however, shows how little we really know about pedophiles
The first thing detectives from the Toronto police sex crimes unit saw when they entered Roderick Cowan's apartment was an autographed picture of William Shatner. Along with the photos on the computer of Scott Faichnie, also busted for possessing child porn, they found a snapshot of the pediatric nurse and Boy Scout leader wearing a dress "Federation" uniform. Another suspect had a TV remote control shaped like a phaser. Yet another had a Star Trek credit card in his wallet. One was using "Picard" as his screen name. In the 3 1/2 years since police in Canada's biggest city established a special unit to tackle child pornography, investigators have been through so many dwellings packed with sci-fi books, DVDs, toys and collectibles like Klingon swords and sashes that it's become a dark squadroom joke. "We always say there are two types of pedophiles: Star Trek and Star Wars," says Det. Ian Lamond, the unit's second-in-command. "But it's mostly Star Trek."

what happened to get rid of the true free float space walk for Polaris

>>16347251
it was never going to be true free floating with an umbilical, unless you mean letting them float out away from the capsule while attached to it. I think they're going to take lessons from the early gemini programs where astronauts doing the first EVAs had a terrible time manoeuvring in space and getting back in the capsule. Baby steps, maybe if it goes well they'll let go of the handles but I doubt it

But ended up using none of these because their long term plans are now just a Starship copy with Raptor copy and their short term plans need them to go to the moon and launch constellations ASAP so they just use upgraded versions of their old engine and a shitton of cheap open cycle kerolox/methalox engines.

They did make a good point in that twitter spaces yesterday though—the actual amount of usable land around the lunar south pole (LSP) with access to sunlight for energy and raw material is very limited. Artemis and ILRS obviously aren’t going to be pointing weapons at eachother but I think it WILL be a ‘might is right’ situation and whoever gets there first will a) have a claim to the prime real estate, and b) be able to spread hardware as far as possible as quickly as possible to claim as much land as possible

the thruster overheat due to insufficient thermal monitoring of the doghouses, the helium leak and the software fuckup are all three independent problems on the vehicle
this isnt just one "freak accident", its systematically fucking up, who knows what else is wrong with the capsule but not severe enough so they can't ignore talking about it

Helium leak is probably related to doghouse overheating but nontheless, to have problems that daisychain and cause other problems is bad
And the fact that the potential exists to ignite hypergolic fuel lines and detonate the entire service module is, uh, less than ideal

Your spoonfeeding, sire:
Thruster assembly on Starliner’s service module. Shitty design.
Here it is pictured open, but in space it is closed and placed with insulation. Boeing did thermal modeling and testing on earth, and only expected it to reach a certain temperature. Ordered thrusters and fuel assembly lines from Aerojet Rocketdyne to-spec based on their modeling; AeroDyne simply did what they were asked.
They got to space on this flight, put it in manual for docking which fired the RCS more than it would have on automatic mode, and realized the enclosed doghouse assembly was acting like a thermos trapping heat.
Hypergolic fuel lines run right behind the throat of the engine and if the doghouse gets hot enough, those fuel line will explode. The hydrazine lines only need to hit 400°C and the fuel within will undergo vigorous decomposition.
There’s a chance a deorbit burn might overheat the doghouse past this temperature.
Not sure why they didn’t experience it this bad in the first two flights, especially the first one when the RCS went crazy. But apparently the overheating is mainly caused by the aft thrusters and other flights used lateral and forward thrusters more.
Oh also apparently Boeing DID know there were issues with the doghouse and teflon specs and did not reveal it to NASA and that’s apparently an ongoing source of megafrustrarion right now and NASA is fucking pissed but that’s more watercooler talk with unconfirmed sources.
Obligatory but I have to gatekeep—lurk more

blaming fifth columnists for sabotaging your war effort from within is a cope that comes naturally to any country which is doing badly in a war. there were two waves of panic in the west over foreign agents in ww2 - one in summer 1940 as france fell, and one in early 1942 with japan's staggering successes in the 6 months after pearl harbor. in retrospect quislings played a trivial and badly overstated role in the axis war effort, but it's impossible to feel that way in the heat of the moment. if china ever started kicking our asses in a war you'd see the exact same pressures for internment, for the same reasons.

>NASA OIG has found multiple instances of award fee earnings inconsistent with contractor performance and that NASA’s use of such awards may limit the Agency’s ability to motivate contractors to improve performance and control costs. In October 2018, we reported that NASA rated The Boeing Company’s performance for the SLS Program as “Excellent” or “Very Good” despite the contract being billions of dollars over cost and several years behind schedule. As a result, we questioned nearly $64 million of award fees provided to the company. Further, in March 2020, we found the ML-1 contractor Vencore Services and Solutions was rated as either “Excellent,” “Very Good,” or “Good” despite design errors and contractor employee turnover that led to increased costs in the millions and significant schedule delays. See NASA OIG, NASA’s Management of the Space Launch System Stages Contract (IG-19-001, October 10, 2018) and IG-20-013.

this might actually happen realistically, Artemis is such a shitshow and if USSF contracts SpaceX by itself to do a moon base and on orbit depot infrastructure, I'm pretty sure they are basically guaranteed to do it before NASA gets through with all the shitshows

I'm expecting something to happen as the moon represents a national security issue instead of a jobs program. This would set an incredible precedent. A private moon base that breaks no treaties, funded by the military.

listening to the spaces with berger and diamandis yesterday people have no idea what starship is, how close a moon base is, the fact that real estate is actually somewhat restricted around the south pole and thus access to simultaneous cold traps + 24/7 sunlight and that China might very well land there before Artemis and claim areas for themselves
none of this is appreciated by the public, they have absolutely no idea what Starship means
just another big rocket that keeps blowing up, a complete boondoggle by that insane Musk
I think this is even a sentiment many non-Musk haters have, they don't know or give a single shit, the appreciation of Musk from the right is basically only due to X de-censorship and endorsing Trump
and I'm not sure it would be very easy or possible to make the general public understand these facts, perhaps Musk will be able to make Trump understand them or perhaps the space force does
NASA and congresscritters certainly won't as it is against their interests
they want gateway, SLS, new mobile towers and so on for jobs programmes and a wholly private moon mission would jeopardize this as people would start to make comparisons

Guys I must regretfully retract my earlier comments about the chinkoid lunar water discovery: I misunderstood before but now I see.
You know how helium 3 is embedded into the dust grains on the Moon due to solar wind? You know how the concentration is so low it's basically irretrieveable? Well, turns out regular hydrogen also gets embedded into dust on the Moon, except it's massively more common, so much so that for every 1m square patch of soil of a depth of about 40cm, there's enough hydrogen to make 50 liters of water. To produce it all you need to do is collect the dirt, ideally the dust, and bake it at a bit over 1000C, and water vapor is produced.
This basically means the poles of the Moon are IRRELEVANT to industrializing & colonizing the Moon, and what actually matters is the ability to transport huge amounts of cargo to the Moon to get as much industry up and running as fast as possible, which Starship will let us fo better than anyone else. Americans stay winning, and once we win the Moon, it'll be permanent.

Stoke's the only one with a similar ideological drive to Spacex built into their corporate culture. They're shooting for 100% reusability out of the gate and are shamelessly adopting key moves from Spacex (stainless steel for manufacturing ease, among others) while throwing in their own twist on second stage recovery. RL has started growing oldspace barnacles, and Blorigin was always there. It's a matter of linear-progression attitude versus exponential-progression attitude, and Stoke is the only one that seems to have the latter.

Stoke's rocket is scalable, especially the second stage engine+heatshield - just make the pumps bigger and add more nozzles. Hobbitlab's wacky decisions on Neutron mean they would have to start a 3rd gen design nearly from scratch.

You are a retarded proonter. Even if the market is saturated NOW, full reuse will put them in a class of their own for the speed and price they can offer their customers that will easily outcompete other partial or no reuse rockets. The market wont be saturated at that point as they would be the most obvious choice for any small payload customers.

RL shot themselves in the foot. Neutron should have had the ability to throw a [future] booster under it to convert it to an even more powerful rocket
But the stupid ass carbon fiber design means it will never be anything more than a booster with an expendable second stage

LunarCHADS stay winning. I wonder what the surprise reservoir of carbon will be. Every time someone looks a little harder at the moon they find more carbon, I'm convinced that it's actually abundant and we just don't know where to look for it yet.
Also what's the accumulation rate on hydrogen? I wonder if you could designate like a 10-mile-wide track around the entire moon that nuclear trawler/processors could slowly trundle around and continuously produce abundant water for the whole population.

They're also a hypernigger to actually land on due to the plane changes required from TLI, so we'll eventually build lunar surface infrastructure to optimize for landing sites near the equator and comm relay towers at the poles.

No literally just heat it, to 1200 C I think. The hot hydrogen reacts with the iron oxides & pulls the oxygen away, I presume.
Constant sunlight is okay if you don't mind being entirely confined to one (1) crater rim. If we want the Moon we need to build on the Maria, which means we need megawatt-scale nuclear reactors for the Moon. Could also use solar & storage solutions, like batteries (expensive) and fuel cells (scalable based on how big your hydrolox storage is, also can endlessly reuse the water obviously).

Well find carbon in the original, un-impact-processed crust of the Moon, just gotta dig deep enough. Worst case scenario we will drill 100km borehole wells & run hot oxygen down & capture the upwelling water vapor and CO2, want more carbon drill more holes. Works for mining sulfur and other volatiles too btw.
>what's the accumulation rate on hydrogen
Very slow, think of it like oil on Earth, we'll use it way faster than it regenerates but it won't matter. As the Moon runs out of dust-water the value of water will go up & the other colonies in the outer solar system will see a market for their infinite supply of ice. Thus there will be a large transportation network between the Moon and the outer asteroid belt, at minimum, and maybe further out depending on whether we have fusion propulsion yet.

>To make a 2028 launch date for this mission, NASA said it needs to have the ML-2 tower completed by November 2026. Both NASA and the new report agree that there is a zero percent chance of this happening. Accordingly, if the Artemis IV mission uses the upgraded version of the SLS rocket, it almost certainly will not launch until mid-2029 at the earliest.

Limp is a billion times better than Bob Smith, but what Blue Origin needs is a megaautist who is always teetering on violating ITAR, sharing info on a day to day basis.
Limp is open but he only disseminates information like this after BO posts it. Sort of like a

Off the top of my head: a chief of supply chain, a person who specializes in contracts and customer relations, I think he fired the guy in charge of upper management and brought in some old amazon chick.
I don’t know what the fuck Bob Smith did besides collect a paycheck. Limp seems to be leveraging Bezos’ assets to get the ball rolling so I can only tip my hat. I still think Blue Origin is gay though lmao

USA semiquincentennial (250th bday) is in 2026.
The bicentennial celebrated around 1976 had a great and timeless logo designed by the guy who also created the NASA worm.
I hope we get a cool semiquincentennial logo and throw it on rockets, especially if Artemis launches are happening (kind of doubtful, Orion heat shield might fuck this all up but I won’t blackpill)

This agrees with findings published back in November suggesting hydrogen was trapped in the regolith: https://phys.org/news/2023-11-hydro
I personally think it's a bit overblown to say "there's water in them thar hills!" based on samples from two locations. It's definitely something Artemis III should be looking at.
