No. Its because interests aligned. Regulatory officials appointed by Biden admin with agenda against SpaceX. Corporate journos that align with Biden political agenda with trying to snip away at everything Musk related. Rent-a-chud with ESG willing to speak up out of 300 million people in the US for a negative spin. Regulatory technicalities written to be used whenever feelings can be steered.

They'd still claim jurisdiction (which the USN would enforce), since the US has international treaty obligations for American-owned spacecraft, launches, etc. I suppose they could launch from another country, but that would risk running afoul of export regulations or require them to move production, development, and really the entire company abroad.

LADS, Layered Ablative Ductape Shielding.
Flexible ablative shielding would eliminate the need for specialized tile shapes on any and all spacecraft, layering the silica-embedded self-adhesive strips allows for both ablation and rapid replacement during reintegration, with little to no technical expertise required.

So it seems that MS-27 cosmonaut Alexey Zubritsky was a former Ukrainian air force pilot who defected to the Russian Air Force in 2014.
>Received a bachelor degree on September 27, 2013 from the Kharkov University of Air Force "Ivan Kozhedub" (Ukraine) in "Military Administration (Air Force), Management of Aviation Units", "Flight Operation and Combat Use of Aircraft".
>"Consciously went over to the side of the occupier, did not follow the order of the high command. The switch to the occupierās side was motivated by high salaries, career advancement, and the opportunity to study in āadvancedā educational institutions of the russian space forces."

Well yes, but if Boing brass woke up from their delusional boomeranity it could be possible to salvage. It's obvious that lots of stuff goes on at Boing with no oversight and that executives are being fed false numbers. Soviet agriculture type stuff. I suspect that's one of the main reasons for their current state, other than their obsession with negros.

Use Dragon XL as service module. Dock with 1 in Earth orbit before departing for moon. Another one launched in advance to lunar orbit to wait and dock with Grey Dragon coming back from the surface and travel back to Earth.

If you enunciate the "a" and the "h" in "historic", then "a historic" sounds fine. The problem is that people often pronounce the "a" more like "uh", and muddy the "h" in "historic". That leaves you with an awkward interruption where you stop and then repeat a similar sound. Most people naturally switch between the two depending on how they're talking, "a" vs "an" isn't an actual rule, grammar is all made up. You just say "an" whenever it's awkard to say "a", it doesn't even need to be consistent.

I specifically included "hipster" because it starts the same as "historic". Just because you might *think* you pronounce it in a special way doesn't mean that it's actually true.
"It's traditional" is fine, twisting around headcanon about pronunciation isn't.

>What the fuck is a "muddied consonant" anyhow?
The kun'yomi pronunciation of the character ęæ (daku in on'yomi) is nigori; hence the dakuten may also be called the nigori-ten. This character, meaning "muddy", stems from historical Chinese phonology, where consonants were traditionally classified as "fully clear" (å
Øęø
, voiceless unaspirated obstruent), "partly clear" (ꬔęø
, voiceless aspirated obstruent), "fully muddy" (å
Øęæ, voiced obstruent) and "partly muddy" (ꬔęæ, voiced sonorant) (see Middle Chinese Ā§ Initials and ęø
ęæé³ [zh]). Unlike in Chinese where "clear" and "muddy" were phonological, in Japanese, these terms are purely orthographic: a "muddy sound" (ęæé³, dakuon) is simply a kana with a "muddy mark", or a dakuten; a "partly clear" (ꬔęø
é³, jiseion) or "half muddy sound" (åęæé³, handakuon) is simply a kana with a "half muddy mark", or a handakuten; a "clear sound" (ęø
é³, seion) is any other kana without either of these marks. In fact, the "partly clear/half muddy" consonant /p/ in Japanese would be considered "fully clear" in Chinese, while "clear" Japanese consonants such as /m/, /n/, /ɾ/, /j/ and /w/ would be "partly muddy" in Chinese. Meiji-era descriptions of the Japanese "sound" system (either the actual phonology, or the orthography) in terms of "clear" and "muddy" always referenced the kana spelling and the two diacritics dakuten and handakuten.

Rewatching estronauts starbase walkabout again. It was interesting seeing elons reaction when Tim started talking about an actively cooled heatshield, especially his comments about the tile heatshield ballooning in mass. I have a feeling these tiles are going to be little niggers endlessly, especially on the reuse front and they will ditch them in favour of active cooling.

Active cooling was the initial baseline when they switch to steel (October 2018), they dropped it later in 2019. Wouldn't be surprise if it makes a come back, I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a certain RLV size above/under which it is just objectively superior.

The problem with the rocket/spaceflight industry is that you need to account for complete failure, on more than just one occasion. Even putting aside something like SpaceXās purposeful ādestructive iterationā approach, you still have unexpected failures which is the shitty part. Iām not a euro and I make fun of Europe but the EU really should be offering a helping hand for serious commercial companiesāwith the expectation they will have a couple of total vehicle losses and require financial life rafts to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and try again

As I understand it the environment with investors is a lot more challenging in europe than america and china. Europe never really developed a venture capital mindset so failures like this could be killer. Whereas in the US or china stuff like this is baked in from the start. Hell, the tianglong 3 failure was way worse than this by all metrics but it has only delayed the maiden launch of it by like 2 months last I checked. The euros just can't tolerate failure like the chinese and americans can.

RFA shared video of their failure and has superior PR, ABL has never shared a video of their failure.
RFA has corporate backing and as one of the two main german LSP startup, have good chance of becoming a "german champion" in European launchers. ABL was basically dropped by lockheed who prefers to buy contracts from Firefly.
RFA at least aims to diversify (Argo...) and has plans for larger launchers, ABL tries to cater to the small responsive launch market when they take 6 months on pad to prepare a launch..

It really just comes down to the fact ABL is slow, like oldspace tier slow. Their first launch wasn't scheduled till 18! months after this static test. A failure here basically means more than 2 years till maiden launch on top of all the previous delays. RFA was going to launch sometime this summer if the test went well. RFA is just way more nimble and likely to succeed than ABL is.

Chinese orbital launches (and some suborbital ones) of the year so far.
As far as I know, 5 commercial launches are planned for September:
A Ceres 1, supposedly in the second week, from Jiuquan
A Jielong 3, around the middle of the month, from a barge near Haiyang
A Kinetica 1, at the end of the month, from Jiuquan, carrying a private commercial capsule demonstrator.
The first Long March 12, from Wenchang's Commercial pad #2
A Long March 8 from Wenchang's Commercial Pad #1, likely carrying the first operational satellites of the Guowang constellation.
At least 2 other non-commercial launches have NOTAM so far

>'Catastrophic' SpaceX Starship explosion tore a hole in the atmosphere last year in 1st-of-its-kind event, Russian scientists reveal
>In the new study, published Aug. 26 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers revealed that the second explosion temporarily created a large hole in the ionosphere ā the part of the atmosphere between 50 and 400 miles (80 and 650 kilometers) above Earth's surface where gases have been ionized, or stripped of electrons, and turned into plasma.
>"Usually, such holes are formed as a result of chemical processes in the ionosphere due to interaction with engine fuel," study lead author Yury Yasyukevich, an ionosphere physicist at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP), said in a translated article from the Russian state media site TASS. This is the first known time that an ionospheric hole has been created by a "catastrophic phenomena" such as a human-made explosion, he added.

He's a self-confessed socialist who tried his hardest to implement Chinese-style authoritarian policies during the lockdowns. He's made dozens of trips to China going back to the late 80s and has a lot of businesses ties with Chinese leaders, both as a private citizen and later as governor of Minnesota. He met his beard while they were working as teachers in China through a Harvard exchange program and married her on the anniversary of the Tienanmen Square Massacre. Beijing has given him multiple glowing endorsements and has said that he is "very positive for America."

The plan is to strap them to the cargo pallet under the normal seat configuration in the event they need to bail. The Starliner suits are incompatible with SpaceX hookups so I think they would just do a shorts-and-t-shirt return, with this risk being justified as an emergency scenario.

The truth is, both companies probably werenāt required to follow any specs on this so both just did an independent in-house design.
For practical reasons though? NASA should have demanded a specification.
For āmight makes rightā reasons? Anything SpaceX does is basically the de-facto because they are based and fly safer missions more than anyone else therefore you do it the same way as SpaceX or you are probably doing it WRONG
Side note: off the top of my head SX outsourced life support to, I think, ILC Dover (or at the very least they did when originally starting Dragon 2 design) and thereās a high probability Boeing outsourced it too, maybe also to ILC Doverāso this is all to say itās strange they ARENāT the same even just by sheer coincidence

It was mentioned during the press conference that NASA had let both Butch and Suni try the spare suit on. Since they said it worked, I would assume it is good enough to function as an IVA suit when worn.

They haven't told us what criterion is being violated and how. I would assume that they don't want just favorable weather forecast for the landing area. They'd want a quite a big area of favorable weather so that even with bad forecast errors the likelihood of developing dangerous conditions is low.

Computer models are an absolute shitshow a week out from now and beyond although the accuracy at that range becomes questionable. They show among other things a hurricane in the gulf and another in the atlantic. So two more weeks. Their best weather window so far has been the one they passed on.

SpaceX should seriously consider establishing an alternate landing recover site near Hawaii or something. Although that area has been unusually active lately as well it typically sees much less activity than the Atlantic in late August. Picrel is the GFS at 246 hours from now showing a Cat 2-3 hurricane in the gulf. The ECMWF shows a similar storm although further north, Starbase possibly impacted.
