there are two big base modules next to each other which are connected by a two section corridor to a module with an airlock
you can copy paste this design on the moon, the two modules at the base of the long corridor (or "shaft") can be evacuated to the another module and if the corridor gets damaged, people at the airlock can evacuate with suits to another base

>On Aug. 27, NASA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) released an audit of Mobile Launcher 2, the mobile launch platform the agency is building for the Block 1B version of the Space Launch System. ML-2, originally projected to cost $500 million, now has a formal cost estimate of $1.8 billion, the audit revealed, adding that the cost could grow to as much as $2.7 billion. The platform was also in danger of not being ready in time to support the scheduled late 2028 launch of Artemis 4.
>In a report in May auditing preparations for Artemis 2, the directorate suggested that OIG was overstepping its bounds by commenting on engineering issues, which it claimed created conflicts of interest and could “compromise the integrity of existing safety processes.”

>Spacewalks are among the most dangerous activities astronauts perform, but they give them an unfiltered view of Earth from space. NASA astronaut Ed White, who became the first American to perform a spacewalk in 1965, joked that he wasn’t going to go back to the Gemini spacecraft because “this is fun.” When he did finally return, he called it “the saddest moment of my life.”
>Gillis said she also felt she could have stayed outside the spacecraft longer. “Stepping out and seeing the cusp of the world is absolutely incredible,” she said. “It felt as if the time just slipped away. And by the time I got to the end of it, it was already time to come in. So I wish we had a maybe just a couple more minutes to see it and experience it and take it all in.”

On the other hand, the OIG should DEFINITELY be telling other people how NASA's contractor fucked up and cost the taxpayers a billion dollars more money by making a huge mistake.

I really think its that simple, if it could be shown they might be able to go to space as well or that the technologies developed will benefit them then they would not be mad and I doubt talking will help solve it

>VIPER’s cancellation is bad for lunar science, but good for NASA. Especially in a constrained budget environment, NASA should be willing to cancel more missions, sooner.
>In that same report, the GAO reported that the project was on track to exhaust its total funding by July 2024. That seems to have come to pass, and NASA announced on July 17 that it had canceled the VIPER mission. According to NASA Headquarters, if not for cancelation, the total anticipated cost of VIPER would have been $609.6 million—not counting the now $323 million lander—for a September 2025 launch at the soonest. (That’s the earliest Astrobotic’s Griffin lander will be ready.)
>However, if indeed engineers had managed to build a perfect rover, ready to fly, the total mission cost would still be $609.6 million—a $100 million more than anticipated, after its price had already doubled—on a mission promised initially for $250 million, and based on a mission that had already cost $100 million in development. The scandal isn’t that NASA canceled the mission. The scandal is that NASA waited this long.

The use case is if travel between the moon and Earth is as ubiquitous as travel across Earth by plane is today. This is very far future, and I can't guess at what economic incentives would bring this about because there currently are none. Point is though, it might be convenient to spend your all time in pretty much the same gravity. Unless you mean stick the rotor city in a vertical lava tube instead of excavating? That would depend on the stability of the geology but ultimately probably make more sense

Unironically, !!
The world is missing a Sagan-type figure who apolitically gets the public interested in what’s beyond our atmosphere.
Even with $/kg going down, the reality is that it is still the domain of the rich (such as Jared) who can afford to push the boundary. This leaves a bad taste in many people’s mouths though. The narrative needs to change. There needs to be a global paradigm shift that takes the realm of Space out of the shadow and instead casts it in the spotlight of hope, optimism, exploration, cutting-edge science, and a benefit for humanity and the planet.

Look at the original Cosmos—inspiring, interesting, fascinating.
MacFarlane’s reboot with Tyson starts off by bashing religion and only focuses on the popsoi aspects to keep popcorn munchers happy.
Tyson is blind to the obvious. He can tip his fedora and collect his shill paychecks—he will never be an instrument of change like Carl Sagan was

I know you guys wont like this, but Musk is essesntially grifting with his mars shit. he may be accelerating space tech, which is a good thing, but even putting a man on mars in our lifetime is fucking unthinkable. how to return is the hard part, not to mention the absolutely lethal doses of radiation anyone will experience on the way.

so you think the lander will be able to effortlessly escape mars orbit? lol, lmao even. you will have to land a return rocket independently and make sure that thing doesnt fuck up its landing, or kill the crew on the way back, imagine trying to launch a rocket with just one or two crew members. it borders on unfeasible, nay it is unfeasible.
the most feasible way is send three rockets, one with the lander, one with the return rocket, and one with the fuel to get back. it just spirals out of control with extranious variables though. theres a reason they propose sending a terminal patient. they aint coming back this century.

United has roughly 150 million passengers per year and 1000 aircraft, so in a given month the average United aircraft has more than 10,000 passenger flights.
Even if Starlink costs $100,000 per month per aircraft, the cost per flight would only increase $10.

Arguing SpaceX didn't accomplish anything because its competitors are stupid and incompetent is an identical argument to that guy seething on SpaceNews that SpaceX makes fat margins because everybody else is not competing with them. I've posted before about how much stuff had to go wrong for SpaceX to succeed (ULA using Russian engines being the number one dumbest maneuver of all time). That just means the CONDITIONS were favorable, they don't mean Musk and Shotwell only succeeded because others failed. DC-X would have eventually been canceled by Obama as too expensive regardless if it worked, and SLS still would have ended up costing billions of dollars per launch. In any alternate reality China takes and never relinquishes the price advantage in commercial space, and ITAR would look like an extremely flimsy excuse for why US companies couldn't launch on their rockets.

Assuming you're in a 1g 240m spin city like in the OP image, you'd need to fly at 104mph to counteract gravity. Some birds certainly would fly fast enough to notice, but it's not like you jump in the air and the station suddenly shoots out from under you at 104 miles per hour.

the space-animals program is currently in it's early days. So far the operation of rats in high vacuum is confirmed but only during greater or equal to earth gravity boost phase of launch. Once functionality of small furry quadrupeds is confirmed in zero G we will progress to ornithological flight dynamics.

Venus landing delta-V uis very low because of aerobraking - see red arrows.
Venus escape to Low Orbit is very high because of its atmosphere, plus a little extra delta-V to Escape and to E-V Transfer.

They need to realize that Starship and similar class subsequent vehicles will enable them to also experience ortbital spaceflight should they want to do so in their lifetimes for a price not much more than an overseas airline ticket.
They need to realize that Starship will enable design and launch of telescopes that can find and characterize true earth analog planets and not just speculative superearth candidates whose actual habitability is unknown.
They need to realize that redirecting the funds from spaceflight to earth based activities cannot solve all of humanities problems or even a few of them as you cannot solve many issues with money alone.
They need to realize what the ultimate fate of the earth is and without spaceflight humanity will share in the fate of this planet.

I hate the fact that the average woman likes astrology so much yet won't be the slightest interested in astronomy. They'll start their daily rambling about Mercury in retrograde or whatever bullshit, but the moment I start mentioning proper stars and constellations names like Arcturus or Orion they look at me as if I'm a weirdo/autist. wtf, it's not fair, you were the one who wanted to talk about stars in the first place.

I actually worked on the United wifi team a few years ago as a consultant and I learned a lot about how that stuff goes. There's a ridiculous amount of regulatory and compliance stuff to deal with and the release cycle is like 6+ months for software, let alone hardware.
I've always been a Delta person, but getting Starlink would be absolutely worth the switch and it might even kick some sense into Delta. They've been on Viasat forever and while they have free wifi, it kinda sucks just cause it's so slow. Not to mention there's the entire pacific hemisphere that's a 100% dead zone due to the failed viasat sat.

I don't think they are, but I'm very sick of seeing them. Everytime you complain about seeing them they go 'uh rent free, you don't see trannies it's in your head' but if you have literally any traditionally male nerd hobby there are troons bursting out the seams. Trains? Computers? Military equipment? Japanese cartoons? Obscure telecommunications equipment? Remote control cars? 15th century military lore? Spaceflight?
And that's online, true, but If you go to any sort of in-person gathering for that sort of thing they're there, and you can literally smell them. I'm very tired. The only place I've been able to avoid them and do 'male' things is church. I sincerely hope Eloin doesn't let them on Mars.

I could envision a motel-style station as a rest spot between a big journey and deorbiting, give the passengers a night's rest before they descend planetside. Of course, it'd be only for the super luxurious, since everyone else would rather either get it over with, or simply rest in their travelship before deorbiting.

Troons won't be allowed on Mars because they all, universally, have a history of self-harm and cannot be trusted near any life-critical systems such as airlock doors.
If one somehow makes it through the screening process, they will have an "accident" in space once they've pissed somebody off enough. In space, everybody is forced to be on their best behavior and not fuck with other people, otherwise retribution will be swift and final.

When access to orbit is so cheap that building one makes sense. IE: not any time soon.
We are at the beginning of in space living as a thing. The major customer bases are already known.
Near term is space agencies, rich people, Hollywood/media industry, and research for companies.
Mid term is in space manufacturing. Likely drugs being the biggest money maker unless some major material science breakthrough is made.
Long term space hotels. Those require artificial gravity as I suspect people won't want to deal with the long recovery period upon returning to earth.
Even longer term, in space living.

more crewed vehicles is an inevitability even if stankliner fails to deliver on price per seat. Dream chaser 200 series will be crewed we know that much. BO has experience with crew capsules (suborbital) but that is still experience and they could easily use that experience to make a BONG crew capsule or a capsule for another rocket if needed. RL has plans for a crew capsule (maybe). There are plenty of options for near term and near-ish term alternatives to dragon. There will be enough demand one way or another, the question is will these alternatives be ready in time to meet that demand.
It's just a matter of space x once again winning because they are ahead of everyone else by 5-10 years.

I don't understand why they didn't start developing one immediately after the design of NG was locked in. They have life support and other stuff they can pull from with the NS capsule. It's the most plainly obvious thing to do.
>>16379399
At the very least sierra space should seriously consider crew rating their second dream chaser 102. I genuinely think dragon alone won't be able to meet demand once stations actually start popping up in orbit. They can't service 3+ stations at once. Axiom, iss, and Vast all using dragons for months at a time will cause some problems. If crewed dream chaser doesn't come online soon that would also mean that starlab and orbital reef would also need to use dragon or pay a premium to use a hopefully safe starliner which may not even fly after all of the atlas Vs are gone...

would it be even possible to be conscious, even for a brief moment, during such thing? I mean, your brain and synapses are being torn apart in the process, all this with a frame of reference relative to someone outside of the black hole's influence, but the space itself around you is also being squished at the same time, so from your own frame of reference, if you could call it that, it would seem like you're not the one being squeezed, at least that much.

I would assume for a few fleeting moments as you cross into the part of the gravity well that becomes inescapable you could look down and see your feet and possibly legs succumb to relativistic effects but after that it's lights out as your brain gets crushed.
> but the space itself around you is also being squished at the same time, so from your own frame of reference, if you could call it that, it would seem like you're not the one being squeezed, at least that much.
I have wondered this as well, could you occupy and even be conscious of the world around you if both you and the space you inhabit were to be compressed all together?

Total time is irrelevant. The important thing is they have hardware that easily can transfer over to an orbital crewed vehicle and they could start designing and building it now but they presumably aren't for some reason even though they have a partnership to build a fucking space station with sierra space and Jeffy boy wants to build oneil cylinders. How are you going to get people to your space habitats if you don't have a fucking orbit capable crewed vehicle Jeff?

Never mind, investigated a little bit more and it seems that these missions have now become part of Tianwen-4, which will explore the Jovian system and perform a flyby of Uranus, so perhaps no Triton or Quaoar flyby after all. But who knows, it's too early and plans might change once again, maybe one day they could get their own dedicated probes.

An incoming Trump administration is more likely to press forward on proposed legislation to remove FAA oversight of commercial space flight. As we have seen recently, SpaceX has faced regulatory headwinds and appear to be targeted. This has had a very real impact on their cadence and therefore spaceflight. It will worsen under a Harris administration that will be free to retaliate further without consequence. As much as we'd prefer otherwise the issue is inseparable at the moment. It cannot be denied.

A wild tiger wouldn't do this unless you made it mad or perceived a threat to it's cubs. Prey are always ambushed from behind. If the prey turns around or spots the tiger first it will abandon the attack. It doesn't know a human can't outrun them. It also doesn't know a human can't smell them thus ambushes are also always from downwind. Therefore I find this scene highly unrealistic even without the sci-fi elements.

>Around 83 percent of NASA's facilities are beyond their design lifetimes, and the agency has a $3.3 billion backlog in maintenance. When you consider NASA's $250 million estimate for normal year-to-year maintenance, it would take a $600 million uptick in NASA's annual budget for infrastructure repairs to catch up on the backlog within the next 10 years.
>"In NASA’s case, the not-uncommon tendency in a constrained budget environment to prioritize initiating new missions as opposed to maintaining and upgrading existing support assets has produced an infrastructure that would not be viewed as acceptable under most industrial standards," the panel wrote in its report. "In fact, during its inspection tours, the committee saw some of the worst facilities many of its members have ever seen."
lmao, SLS is eating all the budget so NASA facilities are falling apart

Yes, this was reported back when Congress cut NASA's budget by half a billion dollars
They deprioritize nonessential spending to accomplish their mission. This has severe long term ramifications, just like their work slowdowns when they need to fit into budgets over multiple years

Deep Blue Aerospace's VTVL demonstrator, note the lack of gridfins, like SAST's which did a 10km hop last june.
This one is planned to have a 10km hop very soon and a 100 km/new shepard-like one in a month or two. Components may be reused for the 1st orbital launch.

China really is going to overcome the US in space. Its just a matter of time now, they will figure it out, then mass-manufacture the goddamn thing, CHEAPLY, efficiently, and without any safety/environmental/business restrictions. So what if a species goes extinct, a bunch of people die, valuable land gets stolen from private ownership, or a site gets horribly polluted, THIS goal is above all of that. They can literally do ANYTHING, without any fear of consequences, basically the SpaceX method on steroids, to just try and try again, eventually it will work.
The West is on a losing path, this is fucking blatantly clear, and any "leader" worth shit would have sirens going off right fucking now, and take action.
I could see Musk getting so goddamn frustrated with this bullshit in the next 5 years that he defects to China, along with the most elite SpaceX team member, and 100% of the know how, in great detail.
He would be such a valuable asset to China, they would let him retain all the privileges he loves, including breeding hot women. Its right there for the taking, get to Mars in ANY way he wants to pursue, blank check for spending, and live an ideal life inside the Chinese regime. Tempting...

People (who dislike Musk) always want a copout to explain why SpaceX is so successful despite their prenotion that Musk must be some sort of “con artist” scamming cities for boring tunnels, hyperloop, swindling people with a tesla roadster, etc.
So, similarly, in their own heads they make up this excuse that somehow NASA has personally kept Falcon 9 on life support all these years and that they paid for its entire development in the first place—and that now they are solely paying for Starship through HLS. It’s quite bizarre.

Musk is so desperate to get to Mars, he teamed up with Donald Trump as a last resort. This is unlikely to work, and was a final toss of the dice to remain loyal to the US and still succeed.
Come 2025, and SpaceX (+ all his other companies) get absolutely shit on even more by a Kamala administration, endless lawsuits, could be a tipping point. Clearly he is a bold, decisive, and fearless free-thinker, and a total defection to China cannot be ruled out.
Remember, Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun? He changed sides drastically too, certain assets will simply gravitate towards the regime that will assist in his vision, this moral compromise is not unreasonable for the pragmatic man with a grand vision.

If a man get kicked enough times, he will adapt and change plans. He could realize, he wont get everything he wants, but can sacrifice some ideals (as did Wernher von Braun) when your hand is forced. Going from a Nazi to an American was certainly a compromise in his values, but was smart enough to just shut the fuck up, tolerate that, and enjoy the clear path to the solar system.
Also, remember the Trump assassination attempt? Elon also has a target on his head, and in China, he is (largely) protected, provided he sticks to the plan they agree on.

I know jared wants Polaris 3 to be a Starship show with humans but if he’s willing to wait a while I think it would be unimaginably beneficial to do some sort of HLS pre-check mission. Bonus points for being extra bold (which he isn’t afraid of) and showing that a dragon-Starship architecture could indeed be used to get humans from LEO to the Moon and back. It would be a final show-of-force against SLS/Orion and could help drive the nail in that coffin

You stupid retards are missing the fact that China is at least 20 years behind on technical knowledge and that they can’t do anything organically unless someone else has done it first. Their F9 equivalent only gets 12T to orbit when a F9 can do 17.5 even in reusable mode. Aside from it being political suicide that is simply never going to happen, if Musk “jumps ship” to China he loses all the people at SpaceX running the show. Shotwell isn’t going. Raptor Matrixbro isn’t going.
He might be able to reverse engineer what he has now from memory alone but good luck. If you’re actually arguing Musk leaving for another country is in any way a realistic probability then you’re an idiot, sorry.
And no, if the POTUS situation doesn’t go in his favor he’s still staying and fighting the system with words and legal action. /sfg/ can be so retarded I swear. You think he’s going to give up on HLS and America to Mars for fucking China?? Listen to yourselves

When America kicks you in the balls repeatedly, he might change his mind. America is changing, and his minority support is dwindling.
Remember, Musk is a big ketamine enjoyer, if you know what that experience is like, it causes one to rethink your core life principals every time, by a return to center, and then finding the best path out. This could lead to a total abandonment and do-over, if necessary. Just to keep the dream alive. Also, China would allow him to do crazy unethical shit with brain implants, AI, and other ventures.

without a hubble reboost mission I'm not really sure what Polaris 2 could do that is beyond what they did
maybe test welding in space or something, launch some kind of test platform separately, rendezvous with it with dragon and walk around testing the suit and more complex work in space
I think the main problem is probably that dragon is pretty small so the spacewalk will be short

We don't need the fucking CEO, we need the elite engineering talent bros, and as I said, they will defect as a team, they are truly all-in on Musk's groupthink. He wont get everyone, but a core talent pool, many of them young, will go, and you best be sure 100% of the IP will be coped in great detail and "stolen" from the US, in a treasonous act.
But, treason is okay to a country who's government has gone to absolute shit (in their opinion, it has). China could ink up a deal that is favorable to this elite group, and they can quickly rebuild what they want to do (albeit, somewhat hobbled, because China)

Ignore the stupid ass china posters and ‘mars is impossible’ retards. It’s just engagement bait, I assume–and contributes nothing nonetheless.
In lieu of a magnetic field, what would be the easiest way to quickly orient yourself if you were around the lunar south pole? At first I was thinking that the astronauts could lay down small, simple solar-powered stakes at specific points as they do EVAs further and further away from their base that could “ping” their ipads or suits or whatever and help orient what direction they are facing. But the lunar south pole has the problem of dubious sunlight.
Perhaps a handheld star tracker? That’s a bit more work though. A device will be needed that’s as easy to use as a compass on earth. Btw NASA has put out a public request for such a device. They aren’t even asking for hardware models—they’re offering a cash prize just for specific ideas on paper alone (for me it’s not about the money it’s about the recognition of a 4ASS lunar compass actually being used for Artemis)

>At first I was thinking that the astronauts could lay down small, simple solar-powered stakes at specific points as they do EVAs further and further away from their base that could “ping” their ipads or suits or whatever and help orient what direction they are facing.
Technology like that would take at least 5 years for modern DEI hires to develop, you understand that right?

me, nigga. I only recently started working hard at life because Elon inspired me with his plans for Mars. I went from drinking in my grandma's attic to a net worth of $750,000 in the last five years, and I'm leveraging that to develop a component of Martian ISRU so specific and esoteric that if I said what it was here I'd show up on Google. If I get a billion dollars I'll be the second billionaire on Mars. We're going, I'm going

If you assume people would leave Earth for "better life", as in big ranch and lifted truck, then yes, it's completely wrong expectation.
People will sign up to settling Mars will go for seemingly irrational reasons, with quasi-religious mentality and live in relative squalor in order to be part of something bigger than themselves.

China is a nice place to live, but I think contrary to life in the west, the more powerful an individual becomes the more they're held in check by the central government.
As a middle class nobody in China you can generally do whatever you want with zero government interference, but if you are powerful enough that your actions have political and economic consequences, you won't be free to make your own choices.
It's probably one of the shittiest places to be a billionaire.
