It pisses me off that the only reason we have this problem is that congress mandated that orion can't launch on anything besides SLS. The solution to this problem is obvious, launch it on falcon heavy and test the new reentry profile. It's too late now but it's still a damning inditement of nasa that this obvious solution hasn't even been floated.

Its actually not that. The group is around 70-90 AU out, which is near Sedna's PERIHELION not aphelion or inbetween. They say
> The new result has multiple implications. One is that the Kuiper Belt may extend farther than formerly believed, or that there is a second Kuiper Belt beyond the one observationally discovered in the 1990s. A second implication is that the New Horizons spacecraft, now about 60 times as far from the Sun as Earth, is not past the Kuiper Belt as earlier expected.
Honestly, now I'm just more confused. You would think that the planetary disc would leave a pretty smooth distribution all the way out to its edges, but if it turns out we actually have a second outer belt, then what cleared out most of the stuff in between? It cant be planet 9 because that was theorized to have a high inclination to match the theory. Also, how long until more of these new objects are actually found and identified if they exist, or how can they verify if NH is past the kuiper belt or not?

I mean like smooth decrease in distribution when it was first formed no? Maybe im stupid here but mass density of the disk would smoothly decrease the further out you get if no other planetary bodies have been formed yet. This would extend to modern day Kuiper belt/scattered disk since no large planetary masses have been detected that wouldve cleared a significant path in its orbit no? If this secondary outer belt does exist what wouldve made that drop in mass density between them happen?

This is 70-90 AU out while the known kuiper belt is 30-50 AU. After that was assumed to be the scattered disk which was a far less dense area. My question is what cleared the area between 50-70 AU out if there truly is a new belt out there.

Why would it do that you think? You can see in these images that they start out with a smooth distribution, and those extra belts/cleared bands are from planetary masses sucking in everything in their orbit. Its why planets have the requirement of clearing their orbit to be classified as such. These generally have a pretty smooth distribution though like I thought. I can look into it more I guess

For me, it's "Mars: Inside SpaceX" from NatGeo. I loved that documentary, it really gives you goosebumps during some parts, felt like a movie. I wish they did a second part that is now focused on Starship.

>if SpaceX were allowed to play with nuclear, they could be launching swarms of deep-space probes with Starship left and right in all directions to explore it all.
SpaceX isn't in the probe business because it's neither profitable nor useful as a step towards colonizing Mars. Congress wouldn't pay for a hundred kuiper belt probes even with the launch costs reductions SpaceX could bring to the table. Congress would pay for one probe and they'd give the contract to JPL and you know exactly how that would turn out.
Elon getting into nuclear would be a great idea, but not because it'd be good for advancing spaceflight. If he started mass producing cheap thorium reactors he could do to the power utilities what he's done for electric cars are space launch services.

my thought exactly. I hope Bezos at least realizes this and has it on the table. It needs to have that barnyard engineering a la Super Heavy. Learn to make it cheap, and get the reuse to 50, 100, 250 flights, even more…
Right now GS1 is an artesian factory princess that can only be reused, at best, 25 times. That’s not good enough

I'm aware, but with the price reductions that Starship will be able to offer I'm sure many institutions and some companies will start looking into it and we'll get something. Not saying it will happen overnight, but it's a good prospect compared to the alternative that oldspace offered us: maybe 1 or 2 more probes into the Kuiper Belt this century(!!) and.. that's it. Also, I can see them developing in the future something similar to RocketLab's Photon, basically a common bus for anyone to customize. The only roadblock here is the nuclear part and the DSN thing, but the latter would be more trivial to solve.

Agreed on the nuclear reactor point except the specifics around the fuel choice really don't matter, what actually matters is having ~10 megawatt electric scale modular reactors with high core temperatures that can be deployed on the Moon and Mars.
A 10 MWe reactor needs roughly a 30 MWt radiator. For a radiator with 0.9 emissivity (equal to brick) that means a radiator 12,000 meters square, or 110x110 meters. Sounds like a lot, but it's something that could be delivered in a small number of Starship launches, and once we have one reactor running and supplying a constant 10 MWe day and night, fabricating more radiator panels for additional reactors becomes very doable. A radiator panel can be as simple as a printed aluminum plate with internal fluid channels and a top coat of lunar/mars dust sintered on to increase the emissivity. Hook them up to a thermal fluid distribution manifold and you're done.
Also high temperature reactors are beneficial for the Moon in particular because it means even in daylight the radiator can remain much hotter than the surrounding land yet still be cooler than the reactor core.

suddenly communists get in power and they want to kill all "rich people", this would include anybody that has gone to space, but they also kill the people responsible for launching rockets so they can't do anything with space stations (at least on the short term)
a martian base would die off, space stations with perhaps more consumables might survive a while longer

I'm not sure what ties Rwanda, Angola, and Nigeria have with the African Business Alliance but they're all Belt and Road members.
The big ones to keep an eye on are Turkey and Indonesia. Both of them are geopolitically important countries that have expressed and pursued interests in space and they're both very good at playing the East-versus-West game.

Iran, the Stans, and North Korea haven't signed on with ILRS but that's just a formality, as is Taiwan's current non-signatory status. The remainder of the ESA only accounts for about 5% of the agency's budget and doesn't have a big industrial interest like Germany, France, and Italy, so it's safe to say that space just isn't a priority for them. None of the other countries on the map really matter.

Ganymede is the best celestial body for terraforming, even better than Mars in my opinion. As that inforgraphic shows, already has a lot of water, just hidden under the surface, along with a magnetosphere and a very thin oxygen atmosphere. We would just have to electrolysize enough oxygen and transport enough nitrogen to get a breathable atmosphere, assuming there's none to be extracted from the moon itself. But I don't know if it has enough mass to hold onto an atmosphere thick enough for humans and it might get pretty cold when it's in Iupiter's shadow, even if the tidal forces from Iupiter can generate heat..

I actually wasn't aware Callisto had its own magnetic field until I looked it up because of your post, so I thought it wouldn't be as easy to terraform.
I stand corrected, Callisto is probably a better candidate than Ganymede because there's less radiation.

Ganymede is almost 50% water ice by mass dumbass, try to terraform that and you'll have yourself a nice multi-hundred-kilometer deep ocean world with no land and all of the previously accessible rocks and minerals sunk to the bottom.
Also, an atmosphere warm enough for a person to survive in would very rapidly escape due to the velocity of gas particles in the upper atmosphere being close to escape velocity.

Incredibly Smug official CZ-6 drawing from Casc from a decade ago
https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=Mj
>"Hello everyone, I’m the Long March 6, the latest creation of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and the newest member of the Long March rocket family. My designers affectionately call me 'Liu Liu.'
>As a post-90s rocket with good looks, highlights, substance, and responsibility, I’m naturally born handsome.
[...]
>"My private special vehicle integrates functions such as transportation, vertical erection, and launch umbilical tower all in one. By sitting in it, I can complete the entire process from testing to fueling and launching. Moreover, the vehicle can be autonomously controlled through a computer, achieving self-navigation and precise positioning at the launch site, with a positioning accuracy error of no more than 5 millimeters in all three directions. Compared to this, automatic parking seems trivial. Ladies, are you tempted?"
[...]
>"Actually, I have many other highlights, but I won't go into all of them here. If you're interested, feel free to keep following me. Lastly, I have to mention my designers — their average age is under 35, they’re good-looking, promising, and single ladies, you better act fast!"

Upcoming predictions:
• Starliner deorbits and lands perfectly fine, and Boeing begins to snarkypost against NASA and say it was always safe
• FH-EuroClipper gets delayed right before launch, either because FH orders a hold on the countdown or because Europa Clipper has issues and they want to assess
• New Glenn goes PERFECTLY. GS1 lands fine, GS2 does what it needs to do. ESCAPADE then fails and it’s purely a Rocket Lab issue
• Too many Raptor failures during Starship flight 5, we don’t even get close to seeing a mechazilla catch—the flight itself will be worse than Flight 4

callisto is the furthest and is the ideal candidate. All the moons except for io have large stores of ice, but calllisto is the only one far enough away to not give a lethal dose of radiation.
Europa would be lethal within a day, and ganymede within a few months.
The Jovian gravity well is much more severe than the ones surrounding the moons, so it will always be whatever body is furthest, if you're looking at it from the perspective of fuel.

Damn, okay. That's actually the most exciting thing I've ever heard about Blorigin. I think Beñoz is despicable as a person but I admire his accomplishments with Amazon.
If he's really going all-in on BO, I expect some pretty quick progress if there's any shred of college-age Jeff still alive in his heart. At one point he really did seem passionate about space—it's a shame he let the company fucking languish for two decades. I hope he starts aggressively cutting fat in the company and redirects the brain that built Amazon toward space technology. In a truly ideal scenario, he'd abandon rockets altogether and focus on orbital vehicles and colony hardware/logistics.

Because the only upper stage engine America had at the time was the RL-10 and no one was going to suggest clustering 13 of them to match the J-2X's thrust goal. And "Custom upper stage" doesn't really mean anything. The engines are the hard part; the rest is just tanks and plumping. The J-2X would be a bitch to develop, but that's mostly because of Aerojet being Aerojet. Everything else is either simple to design or already mostly done.
The upper stage was a bit heavy as it was originally planned, but that's why its only a good start. If you make it half the original size and put a 5m Delta IV upper stage on top you'd have a launcher that could match the Ariane 5 ECA for GTO payload and double the Proton-M's GEO payload.
>>16362985
Yeah, but that'd use stinky engines from Russia, made by Russians. This rocket would be all American, with a solid fueled first stage made in Utah with the blessing of perfectly normal Mormon congressmen.

nta I find it weird they pulled out of gateway airlock. I think they were jaded that Artemis wasn’t a 50/50 program but come on… it’s not like they could have built their own lunar rocket and lunar lander. Still though, would have been fun to go back to the Moon with POCKOCMOC. Do they think they are going to get a bunch of free shit from China with ILRS? They’re in for a rude awakening when they get backstabbed after China just steals their ideas and dismisses them

In all honesty, once Starship is in serial production and regularly flying people around the solar system, I think Russia might just find an excuse to say that space sucks anyway and they never really wanted to go there and stop their manned space flight program. The alternatives to this are
>Develop their own Russian Starship clone
they can't do this, realistically or
>continue flying with legacy hardware
which invites a direct comparison between America's new hotness and their antiques.
So I think a sour-grapes bow out of space is their most likely response. "Space sucks, we didn't want to go there anyway."

The Russian space program has existed in a perpetual stage of "it's so over" ever since the Wall came down. They'll manage to keep trundling on somehow, and there will still be R7s flying after the Falcon 9 has finally retired. Soyuz was good enough for Brezhnev, it's good enough for you.

The spacecraft, which are believed to be Starshield satellites, make up the third batch of what the NRO calls its “proliferated architecture.” Liftoff of the NROL-113 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base is set for 8:20 p.m. PDT (11:20 p.m. EDT, 0320 UTC).

What NASA learned from the Viking experiments is that identifying life remotely is incredibly hard, you have to make lots of assumptions about the soil chemistry because you cannot measure everything in one tiny little package. What they learned from ALH84001 mars meteorite "fossil" debacle was that the evidence for life must be indisputable or you are just setting yourself up for humiliation. Better to be slow and cautious than ruin your reputation. For a more recent example see the arsenic life announcement by NASA made in 2010. That was organisms in labs on Earth, and they still fucked it up.
Also it's misleading to say there haven't been any more experiments, there have been better instruments they just aren't specifically called life experiments. Curiosity's SAM is a much better sample analyzer than Viking's GCMS. It has detected organic compounds. Then there is ESA's TGO which studies the atmospheric organic compounds like methane, which failed to detect it to very low levels. If you're still upset about this ESA's ExoMars rover will carry a newer instrument like Viking GCMS.

I’m not arguing for a complex meme boltzmann brain or some randomly assembled clock with gears and dials floating around out there that assembled from pure chance.
I’m just saying there is a pretty good certainty that almost any and every combination of chemicals exists, or has at least existed at some point, given the sheer size of the universe (beyond huge), given the sheer amounts of stars with planets that can act as chemical laboratories (again, it’s a huge number), and given the age of the universe (billions and billions of years)
Any alloy you can think of could have been naturally forged by complete chance on some strange world far far away, simply by virtue of natural reactions.
Just look at Earth, it created life. That’s pretty strange isn’t it? Is it more crazy to say steel was forged somewhere else, with iron mixing with natural carbonate deposits somehow and making some super-meme alloy that mirrors what we make here on Earth?

It’s not going to be able to launch and land humans for quite a while. Yes you could find a way to do a dragon rendezvous in LEO but what about getting back? You’d need to do aerobreaking to kill that interplanetary velocity (NASA would say no to that). Orion’s advantage, on paper, is that it can simply return to Earth and reenter in the event of an emergency.
A manned starship would not have that advantage for a long time. You’d be better off doing a lunar dragon with upgrades

No you wouldn't. In one of eager spaces videos he proposes an architecture where you send a tanker starship to refuel lunar starship in LLO and apparently if you do this you can land the tanker via aerobrake and the lunar starship will have enough fuel to slow into LEO.

FH is sadly just a bit underpowered for single launch crewed lunar capsules unless you do some frankenstein gigantic hydrolox S2 which probably won't fit on the 3.66m core.
The chinese made it just a bit bigger and it works on paper, but at this point FH isn't worth it for single launch lunar crew.

Something in a near geostationary transfer orbit would be in direct sunlight most of the time, so it'd just be a matter of knowing where the object is supposed to be and having a big enough telescope to resolve it.

I am quite confident in my abilities, Anon, but be my guest and disprove what's written in the first paragraph of that article? NASA says as much in its report.
https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations
>The vehicle arrived at Wallops Island on 3 November 1964 and was successfully launched 15 December 1964. This launch was an all-Italian endeavor and gave Italy the distinction of becoming the third nation to place a satellite in orbit following Russia and the United States. For the record, Great Britain and France had satellites in orbit, but they had been placed there by United States launch teams.

Oh interesting I see what you’re talking about now. Oddly enough it turns out the actual mass of Dragon 2 is kind of up for debate and SX has never published the actual number anywhere. Some assumptions come from a NASA press release during DM-2 (though the figure given was a lowball estimate), some have tried calculating it based on acceleration data, but either way it’s listed as “12.5 T” and Orion is listed as “10.4 T”

Its a second rate project for sure, but I'm backing it (non-financially) in spirit because we need more players. And someone needs to do the carbon fiber rocket, just to prove it out either as a white elephant or a shining star. Even SpaceX was lured by its advantages at one point. Never know until you try and follow through, even tho it looks grim and unfeasible. That carbon fiber tech will be VERY useful for other space-based, non-launch vehicle uses, like structures, farings, etc

They're in the running but I wouldn't put them "ahead" of Italy. Israel only has the Shavit and that's an electron-sized rocket that's launched 12 times in 36 years. Most of Iran's rockets are also small launch and they use twice hand-me-down tech that the Norks got from the Soviets back in the 1950s; Iranian LREs are just one generation away from using nitric acid as an oxidizer. Nothing North Korea has can match the Vega for payload, they hardly ever launch anything, and when they do it usually explodes.
But, yeah, those are the only ones I'd really put Italy clearly ahead of. Comparing Vega to South Korea's lineup is harder because while Nuri has better performance Vega has actually flown more than two successful missions.

Rocket Lab built it but I believe it’s a NASA owned payload so basically they are taking the bullet here. They know it’s too risky but it’s easier and more cordial to say it’s a “them” problem, versus “yeah we just don’t fucking trust Blue Origin at this point”

I own no RL stock, but Peter Beck's post on behalf of Rocket Lab clearly indicates they are open, willing, (and likely wanting) to bail on BO, and launch the goddamn thing themselves with Neutron, since they have a capable rocket coming soon and this is a real mission that they know the payload intimately, can tolerate loss, and the fact it just makes sense for them to own it.

No, Rocket Lab went with carbon fiber for electron because there are some significant weight savings and smaller rockets are more sensitive to that sort of factor. On top of that New Zealand has a lot of carbon fiber production experience to draw on from their ship building industry, so it was a lot easier for RL to use than it would have been for other companies. Now that they're really good at working with CF sticking with it is easier than changing to a completely different process and material. It's kinda like how Japan still uses hydrogen for its main engines instead of methane or RP1. They've got enough time and skill invested to make it work more easily than the other options.

No, they meant the Maiden launch will happen in november, but with the second launch's payload,, while the second launch was previously planned for December.
Considering the 2nd and 3rd S2 are gone, I doubt they'll be able to do a 2nd and 3rd launch anytime soon.

Saturn's obviously had at least one major energetic breakup among its attendant moons. Big chunks colliding with several of the remaining satellites doesn't seem like an unlikely event.

It was intended to defray costs by using it for both like Apollo+Skylab, as part of the Constellation/Ares architecture. Unfortunately a Delta IV Heavy was not enough to get Orion's piggy self to the ISS and the Ares-1 was canceled, so CRS/CCrew took over instead.

>Unfortunately a Delta IV Heavy was not enough to get Orion's piggy self to the ISS
To be precise Orion was designed specifically to be too heavy for either Delta or Atlas to carry it in order to justify development of the Ares-1. At the start of Orion contract bidding most companies proposed capsules that could be lifted by then-current rockets but NASA rejected them all

lel, if Boeing was capable of controlling outcomes they wouldn't have shit their pants publicly and repeatedly on this project
but they have and therefore they can't and therefore what Boeing executives want is irrelevant and therefore your post is pretty fucking gay

Why is Orion so heavy anyway? Is it the stores? Did they build the thing with lead shielding because muh solar flares?

I keep forgetting that both StarLiner and Orion are bigger than the Apollo capsule.
