I just have a hard time getting excited for Starlink stuff period. It was fun when it was new but I've already had Starlink internet for a few years and they aren't sending fun stuff up. The cool factor imo is how often they're launching, it's insane and was the realm of scifi not that long ago.

We don't have a commercially available heavy lift vehicle launch tower. Starbase Tower 2 may someday come about. It's on the drawing board right now. ML-1 is real. You've seen it down at the KSC. We're building the base structure. We have all the crawler tracks done... I don't see any hardware for a Tower 2, except that he's going to take nine Tower modules and put them together and that becomes the Launch Tower. It's not that easy in launch platformetry.

>or at least be more spacex frenly?
yes, and they could use military money for starship and a base to basically circumvent NASA completely
Trump has talked about rebuilding and refocusing the military so actually starting a real military space programme would not out of the question IMO, in fact it would be a continuation to his starting of the space force in the first place, modernizing the military to focus on drones and AI
more orbital assets (surveillance, depots), using Starship for point-to-point and perhaps a military moon base would not be impossible
specifically about being more friendly then I think the Trump admin could stop the harassment of Musk and his companies by appointing new people to lead the agencies, perhaps start reforming some of them (but I don't think he could do that unilaterally and would need more widespread support in the congress and senate)

Arms needs to be robust. Aside from that, if the arms is robust enough and catch mechanism can cushion fine, there the risk is much less. However I think there will be more discoveries within the first 100 attempts and landings. Whether weak arms or weak balancing. The risk to the infrastructure is larger, which is my concern.
I think the 2nd tower arm catch is pointing away from the infrastructure, so there might be reduction in risk there. But maybe not so much for the first tower catches.

Another day, another Muskrat failure. The government should ban this clown from scamming more investor money, at this rate it's only a matter of time before one of his 'rockets' kill a bunch of astronauts and fall on an elementary school. It's been proven time and time again, a grift company like SpaceX doesn't have what it takes. It's time for congress to end this commercial stuff, beef up NASA, and trust the old hands.

they then switch to discuss your latest compliance with the optional community measures set out by management, and why such measures are so important for a critical engineering firm

>Booster landings are considered secondary objectives to a launch's primary mission of delivering payloads into orbit. However, in recent years SpaceX has delayed launches due to poor recovery weather conditions, as it does not want to lose the first-stage hardware, which probably costs at least $20 to $30 million to manufacture, test, and deliver to the launch site.
>The earliest that the Polaris Dawn mission could launch is now Friday morning, at 3:38 am ET (07:38 UTC) from Kennedy Space Center, in Florida. But that is dependent on both weather and, now, SpaceX becoming comfortable with understanding the landing failure of Wednesday morning's Starlink launch.

It does, it's just that it's really hard to notice the delay. They're only launching a couple time a year so there's always a gap of multiple months between flights and internal incident investigations after a failure can take years before there's any report to submit. SpaceX is the only company where the LSP can move faster than the regulators.

Also there hasn't had to be an investigation after an Atlas V launch. The last Atlas that whiffed was an Atlas I that launched way back in 1993. You'd be better off looking at the investigations after the Delta IV Heavy demo launch in 2004.

>It's unclear how long it will take for the FAA to approve a license for SpaceX to launch and recover the rocket on the next test flight or when SpaceX will complete the upgrades on the launch pad. Elon Musk, SpaceX's founder and CEO, suggested earlier this month that the flight could take off by the end of August, but the condition of the launch pad and remaining tests indicate a launch is still probably at least a couple of weeks away.
>Catherine Koerner, NASA's associate administrator for development of exploration systems, recently told Ars that SpaceX has made "tremendous progress" with Starship on the program's first four test flights. The next milestone in NASA's $2.9 billion lunar lander contract with SpaceX is for the company to demonstrate it can transfer super-cold methane and liquid oxygen propellants between two Starships in orbit. The most recent information from NASA indicated this mission, which will require SpaceX to have its second launch pad operational in Texas, was scheduled for the first three months of 2025.
>Koerner didn't offer an updated schedule in an interview with Ars earlier this month, but she suggested there's a lot of work to do before SpaceX is ready for the ship-to-ship refilling demo. "They have a number of milestones that they have to reach before they can get to the point where they do that," she said.
>“This next flight, and the next several flights, are not contract-deliverable milestones for them," Koerner said. "These are learning milestones for them that they do for their own development activities."

It's not true, call me a Boeing shill if you want but the incident is 100% on Delta and/or the tire maker. The average person knows very little of the sorts of incidents involving aircraft unless they are reported by the msm. I'd expect the anons here to know better however.

While you are right, and while the FAA have indeed been pretty good with SpaceX, it nonetheless highlights the fucking absolute retardation of over-regulation and bureaucracy. One little word was changed in the FAA license and now, because of formality and technicality, the FAA needs to do an investigation all because some check boxes were met and there was a “loss of vehicle”.
The FAA probably doesn’t even want to do the paperwork and would prefer if they didn’t have to!

That's an Ariane 64 fairing.
Either they're using the exact same fairing (not unheard of) or they're trying to pass Ariane hardware for their own.

They had to do major upgrades to the arms with struts because they shake uncontrollably whenever they try to close around the booster. They need to stay rigid or else the booster will fall right through them, I think the only reason IFT5 hasn't happened yet is because they aren't finished testing the new design

This is just what's been reported so far for August. I agree it's retarded to ground Falcon 9 for tipping over on landing but as you can see the problem here isn't Boeing or Airbus or a particular aircraft, it's the fact that all tires can potentially explode when inflated. It's an OSHA issue if anything.

He's famous for two reasons, he wrote 100 stories when most people didn't have a single keyboard in their house, and he has good ideas that people with skill can do something with, like all those movies. My mother (twitter retard) suggested I read Cujo when I was like 11, and I still don't get why. They're stuck in a car for 400 pages and then some guy cums on their bed? What the fuck. I tried reading some of his sci-fi short stories recently as that's closer to my interest in space flight, but they read as a coke fueled
>and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened, and I forgot to mention this background thing where this other thing also happened
There are probably hundreds of people publishing books on Amazon for $0.99 that deserve the fame and fortune more than King ever did, and if he were forced to start now instead of the 70s, no one would ever know about him.

Just a reminder to all that the unshielded dose rates in radiation belts aren't very relevant since the majority fraction of that radiation is low-penetrating beta particles & very low penetrating energetic protons, meaning shielding materials like polyethylene can block nearly all of it.
Humans will land on Io while it's still being irradiated, and they'll do it inside well shielded habitat sections atop big hydrolox stages (big to offset the habitat mass).

Too far future to really be thread relevant, it just depends on what people end up wanting to do out there. If the moons or Jupiter's orbit are useful then there's a cost benefit to be examined but we have neither the motivation, the cost, nor the benefit. Even automation benefits from a lack of radiation though, so it's hard to imagine a future where they can but don't.

probably to learn how to work with hydrogen for the upper stage of New Glenn
its a pathfinder vehicle basically, doing this weird tourist hopping instead of a smaller orbital rocket
I guess it has its benefits as you learn how to land and this should translate to a suborbital booster somewhat and there is logic behind doing this instead of doing a (more) revenue generating orbital rocket as they don't really need the money
with oldspace methods and people it would have taken very long with either strategy and the problem is not the strategy here, its that they are fucking slow as shit and bezos was scammed by old space retards

He claims not to remember writing certain books during coke-fueled writing binges, and having read more than few of his works I can believe it. I don't know what his demons are but he always includes weird perversion somewhere in his books and it always feels out of place. At least the first Dark Tower book is kind of neat if you ignore the rest of the series.

So if New Glenn actually launches, will they be forced to do a mishap investigation if the barge landing doesn't work just right? I am just saying, we should keep an eye out for selective enforcement of this. I have a sneaking suspicion that if that landing fails, it will be chocked up as a test, or some other excuse that was not extended to SpaceX for Starship testing or this landing incident.

Depends on their license, and if it has the same wording. They might just plan on licensing each NG launch independently (one at a time due to slow cadence) and it won’t have that “destruction of vehicle” clause or whatever.
That being said, is BO’s recovery vessel still manned or is that the old one they scrapped? The new one might be autonomous. If it’s still manned then there is def a cause for investigation of some sort with every failure lol

It took them a while, but SpaceX brute forced the research & development and can now weld together stainless steel sheets into pressure vessels that can withstand insane amounts of pressure. Pretty fast and cheap! And safe, apparently, as NASA trusts this process to form their HLS lander that will land humans on the Moon and eventually house them for ~30 days.
That being said, why are people like Axiom bothering to do these new LEO stations the “old-fashioned way,” with each module probably costing millions of dollar in machining and fabricating? Isogrid, isomill, whatever. It’s laborious and expensive and just needs to hold 1 atm of pressure give or take. What am I missing here?

Not a good excuse. It is said that inflatables have better shielding than even the best whipple shielding.
There is theoretically nothing stopping axiom from ordering a SS pressure vessel with docking port(s) scaled down to fit in a Falcon Heavy fairing—and just adding bigelow (SNC owns the IP now?) inflatable material to the inside. Problem solved. And it could be done in a month.
Instead they’ve been milling these gay ass cuck modules for YEARS. Same with Gateway’s HALO module from NorthGrum

The fact that SpaceX doesn't put much stock in patents doesn't mean that they'll post a twitlonger describing exactly how they do it. The older methods are well understood in the industry and just about any company can use them without any extra investment of time and funds, provided they're willing to put up with the drawbacks.
