Dont forget all the bullshit lawsuits, over HLS and numerous other things, usually focused primarily on stopping SpaceX.
They even patented the stupidest idea for a "reusable" booster, just put a thermite welding charge in each foot and weld it to the fucking ship deck to "stick" the landing.
If BO is to redeem themselves whatsoever, its going to take 5+ years or longer of continually exceeding expectations, consistently delighting us with brand new innovations. This has zero chance of occurring.

I know why they're starting with T-Mobile. A lot of the Starlink work is done in Redmond, WA which is right next to T-Mobile's headquarters in Bellevue. That makes the iteration loop super tight for them to work out all the early bugs, and then it's just a matter of adding more bands+carriers to the Starlink half of the design.

The site needs users to exist. Adhering to local law while actively encouraging the people under bad laws to yell at their government is how you keep the site existing. You may be literally too retarded to understand this, but I'm trying to explain anyway.
He's already "challenging" the EU by following only the letter of the laws and censorship demands. They're broadly unhappy with how he runs the site because he's telling the local teams to interpret things in favor of free speech wherever technically possible.

That sounds like sci-fi bollocks but I'm guessing this does not work on the same principle as a simple solar sail i.e. solar wind particle momentum transfer

The people who are critical of SpaceX form very few of their own opinions. Elon is an idealistic autist who has little restraint when it comes to pissing off politically influential people or groups who get in the way of his goals. Those groups put out bad pravda about him in response, which is where the brainless members of the chattering classes are told what to think about things.

Surely all those filters plus the two layers of tank width giant sieve screens and all their supports to take tonnes of H2O snow weight under multiple gs are far more fucking heavy than just pumping the lox from the tank through heat exchangers. Plus all the complications from this H2O snow ingestion bullshit.

I wonder if there is some conflict with the raptor dev team which is why it's not happening.

what would be the effects of heat exchangers on the LOX side of the raptors?
would bleed some more thermal energy I guess, would add some mass and complexity to the raptors (more difficult to get higher pressures perhaps), pure hot oxygen would be more corrosive to any piping than dirty oxygen but without heat exchangers you need triple filtration which probably adds a lot of mass
though there are benefits with the dirty oxygen autogenous pressurisation as you could use dirtier oxygen as propellant in the first place, doesn't matter if you have some CO2 in the system, this will probably have benefits from a propellant cost and reliability standpoint and perhaps has implications for mars?

so
1) heat exchangers
+less dry mass overall (heat exchanger adds mass, but no need for triplicate filters in tank and no parasitic ice mass)
-more complex raptor
-pure hot OX more corrosive
-need purer OX for propellant

2) no heat exchangers
- more dry mass from multiple layers of filters, but less mass on raptor
-clogged filters will cause problems if not engineered or sized properly
-need to purge ox tank with tons of co2 and water ice
+simpler raptors
+maybe better max performance for raptors

And the current design is giving them lots of troubles. So much mass was wasted on making that design work. I often hear "best part is no part", but by getting rid of the heat exchanger they had to add lots of filter to prevent clogging, and they definitely weigh a lot.

I’m not sure how far down the pipeline Starlab is.
It’s a Nanoracks project first and foremost, who have launched hardware to space. So they aren’t just some handwave cradle company. But, they have bounced partnership between LockMart and Airbus—and as far as I can tell it is really just a preliminary design and I don’t know if it will ever come to fruition.
They assured $160 million for Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD), more than BO [$130] or NorthGrum/Dynetics [$125 mil] but I recall Berger saying CLD was a really poor program that he doesn’t see going anywhere beyond maybe one more round of funding.

To me it looks like a redesign of their proposed ‘Research and Manufacturing Facility’ (AxRMF) which, as far as I understand it, is a converted Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM).
Brief bit of history, the italian space agency built multiple PMMs, one of them is an ISS module (named leonardo), donatello is used for ground testing by LockMart for who knows what reason, and rafaello has been sitting in storage and Axiom recently acquired it. They plan on adding a docking adapter to it

My city installed a fiber loop a long time ago when it was a huge deal and not at all common, and then as soon as the first round of funding ran out they gave up and never connected it to any businesses, literally just 3 government buildings. Over the next TWO FUCKING DECADES several private ventures independently offered to take over and finish it and they were told "no fuck off it's government infrastructure" and so the multi-hundred-million dollar fiber loop sat completely unused for so long that it was eventually totally outclassed by the continually upgraded copper and wireless phone networks.

dirty propellants are going to kill any possibility of depots; they either need to ditch autogenous pressurization and add helium COPVs (will literally never fucking happen, mass penalty + one more extremely shitty leaky gas to handle making reuse times longer and requiring entirely new SQD hardware) or go back to heat exchangers. dealing with pure hot gaseous oxygen is hard but doable, soviets managed ORSC half a century ago after all.

Surely even a COPV mass penalty would be better than a stupid filtration system lol
Either way I think this is just a temporary fix.

Open ended question to anyone more knowledgeable than me--I have been bad about following Starbase progress the last year:
Is SpaceX still having severe problems getting autogenous pressurization to work? Is it still even a goal at this point?

rapid reuse is still a decade or more away, prop depots aren't going to be tested until raptor 3/ship 2 is in full swing so if the autogenous pressurisation fixes at a less substantial mass penalty are integrated into either of those, it's not a big deal

they've used autogenous pressurization for all 4 of the last flights, and other than the icing issue (which is a massive fucking issue) there's no evidence that they've had any issues with it. the problem with COPVs isn't the mass penalty as much as it is having to handle yet another consumable, the consumable being the 2nd worst gas in existence when it comes to leaking, and that it's absurdly expensive. Helium is by far the best choice for tank pressurization and the extra mass for stepping up to nitrogen more than offsets any benefit with easier handling, but both are consumables that require extra handling and just invite even more problems with quick disconnects and the like. Autogenous pressurization is also much better for long duration flight and is more or less required for a depot unless you want to be flying up dedicated ullage gas tankers to the depot as well. going back to heat exchangers is the right idea, the mass penalty is probably less than what they've already added with filters and it lets them remove the filters which is deleting several parts.

Honestly using exhaust gas for pressurization is just like aspiring for no flame diverter, they fucked around and found out. if it *had* worked it would be amazing, but this is SpaceX and they'll 100% recognize the issue and take steps to fix it. Tower one went from concrete to a steel plate and now tower 2 is getting a proper trench, starships will go from using dirty gas to ice baffles and eventually fix all of it with proper heat exhangers. you can never know for sure what will and won't be a problem unless you test it, the important part lies in correctly interpreting the results of a test

Fuck around and find out is a great development method, but they indeed found out, and are up for the innovation challenge of this clearly mandatory upgrade. Engineering problems are solvable with elite, motivated teams.

Doesn't really matter as seeing the simulation is incorrect. A lot of what they are going on is assumption and incorrect rendering. Much like IFT-2 when the booster RUD shortly after boostback and they claimed it was a water hammer. They made a live model and everything to try and prove their theory. Again, it was incredibly incorrect and like I said before, they are using water properties for the simulations, making it almost pointless.

no, the preburner exhaust is hot enough that the CO2 and water are still both totally vapor, and reducing their temperature would also reduce the pressure meaning you need a higher mass flow rate to make up for ullage meaning you actually introduce MORE ice. they can't filter it until it becomes cryogenic in the case of the CO2, meaning it has to form in the tank; cooling the autogen gas to cryogenic before even using it to pressurize would defeat the point entirely because all of the gas would recondense and you'd get 0 pressure. The correct answer here is to go back to a heat exchanger and have only clean gases enter the tanks, there's no other way around this.

>>16355389
Autogen pressurization also caused the icing issues that killed starship on flight 3, I forgot to mention that earlier but they are using ullage gas for RCS meaning it ices up like fucking crazy. The weight of all the insane amounts of ice filters and baffles they've added is already more than offsetting any mass benefit they gain for removing some tiny little heat exchangers from raptor. Even non-rapid reuse will have issues as ice ingestion continues to kill engines and fuck with the RCS thrusters, they're going to be adding double digit percentages of the payload mass in filters to fix these issues instead of probably <1 ton of heat exchangers between SH and starship combined. In any case people are theorizing that raptor 3 probably has an Ox heat exchanger anyways.

>>16355462
the visual render doesn't matter, it's just eye candy. everyone should understand that CO2 ice is denser than LOx and therefore sinks. you're as dumb as those flerfer faggots who see NASA using CGI for launch animations and then claim the earth must be flat because HUR DURR THE CGI IS FAKE THEREFORE EVERYTHING IT REPRESENTS MUST BE FAKE AND WRONG TOO THERE'S NO WAY ANY MINOR DISCREPANCY BETWEEN CGI AND REALITY COULD EVER OCCUR. 0 capacity for nuance, you may be dumber than starbase nigger

- ULA building rockets using engines from a company located in a significant geopolitical risk area (Ukraine) that promptly got cut off in 2014
- Orbital Science getting bought ("merged") and killed after their Antares fuckup at Wallops, this also killed Pegasus XL
- Blue Origin just fucking around (New Shepard) before during and after SpaceX started launching
- ESA killing Ariane 5 without having a replacement rocket active
- Vega getting grounded for years for a redesign after its launch failure
- H3 / Epsilon launch failures requiring redesign
- Amazon buying literally everyone's spare launch capacity after SpaceX started launching commsats to pay for itself
- ULA selling out its entire remaining Atlas V inventory without having a viable replacement
- SpaceX getting huge NASA contracts (CRS, CCP, HLS) after elbowing its way into ULA's NASA launch business after the lawsuit over Lucy's launch vehicle selection process

I argue if SpaceX was founded say five or ten years later, the SpaceX we know would not exist. One of the other aerospace companies would pick up Tom Muller and his ideas. Koenigsmann and Shotwell likewise would have success elsewhere and not keen to join. More critically, SpaceX would probably miss out on the COTS program.

Because there is a legal channel to challenge those orders. Brazil has none. They threatened to arrest the employees and the lawyers. On top of that, the way in which the censorship is done by the judge is different from the way in which other countries are doing. Brazilian one is done by the judge. The judge appointed himself the judge/jury/executioner. Stepping outside the bounds of separation of powers between the courts, congress, and the executive office. So its illegal in brazillian constitutions.

but if its 250k customers, then servicing those is not going to be free (not to mention the loss of revenue)
I don't think SpaceX can keep this going forever, so at some point they will be cut off but perhaps SpaceX and Elon hopes Moraes backs off or something else happens

Ah. Well it’s a really old station anon. I’ve heard they spend more time doing manual labor for physical station repairs than they do actual experiment hours these days.
On top of that, Russia has had an increasing problem with more and more corruption and loss of work force (and sanctions have limited their supply chains ever since they marched into Ukr for a special two day operation) so new russian hardware sent up is failing and having critical design failures at a seemingly exponential rate. And now similar problems are rearing their head on America’s side because of Boeing’s loss of skilled workers as they have shifted away from prioritizing good product over short-term shareholder value.
A series of unfortunate events. But these problems can be solved by retiring ISS and shifting away from Russia and Boeing and towards SpaceX and, uh…. there isn’t really a good spacex competitor so keep your fingers crossed other competent people can rise up in the USA to save NASA’s ass

I wonder on a fundamental level how Starliner contrasts with Dragon in terms of dealing with heat. Dragon simply has a white shell and no additional heat dump or thermal reflectors besides the white paint that I can think of. But it seems to be enough. So maybe HLS will be the same.

just go back to the original 12m diameter version, now that they switched from carbon fibre to stainless steel that shouldn't be quite hard, right?

I don't think it works purely from a surface area vs volume perspective. There's a reason plants generally have lots of flat broad surfaces, or in the case of algae are so small that they're mostly surface.

You have ~2m^2 of skin, only half of which will be facing the sun at any time, and you can get at most ~30% efficiency converting sunlight into ATP. Photosynthesis doesn't benefit from light intensity above ~100 W/m^2. Assuming you lie naked, flat on your back or your stomach 16 hours a day in constant 100 W/m^2 sunlight and get an unrealistically high 30% efficiency, you can get an additional 400 kcal per day.

Starlink has informed Brazil's Telecom Agency that it would not shut down Twitter in Brazil.

250k Brazilians use Starlink, including many hospitals and schools in remote areas. Brazil's MoD released a letter stating that Starlink is vital for military operations and strategic readiness across the country.

Judge Alexander previously froze the bank accounts of Starlink when Twitter refused to cooperate with his orders, even though Starlink is a separate legal entity, but Musk decided to give Brazilians free Starlink access instead of shutting it down.

>inb4 brazil starts shooting down starlink satellites.

He's undermining the president and his administration. Why would the state department stick up for him? The feds will dispose of him if anything.

remember when they tried to delay Dragon because they thought Starliner would be completed in time for them to be the first American company to send astronauts to the ISS since the Shuttle? kek

>The 2003 Alcântara VLS accident was an accident during the Brazilian Space Agency's third attempt to launch the VLS-1 rocket, which was intended to launch two satellites into orbit. The rocket ignited on its launch pad at the Alcântara Launch Center, killing 21 people. It is the third deadliest space exploration related disaster in history.

Brazil doesn't have the best luck with their space programs. I think Starlink is going to be fine
