>takes multiple starship flights (12+) to refuel for moon and 6+ for mars missions
Why not build a space station at this point?
Use the 100 tons to orbit to put up modules to build a station in LEO, then send that to the moon or mars orbit instead of a starship direct approach.
You could use station modules currently in development which will launch on starship anyways, like the Airbus loop which has room for growing food as well as a centrifuge for limited artificial gravity. You can just strap some blue moon landers in there too for surface excursions. All that could be done with less launches than it would take to refuel one starship and it would have way more leg room too.

all the far away objects having a gravitational influence on the sun have almost the exact same influence on all the planets in the solar system, so they move together.
If you dont give the same influence to every body in the solar system to move then youwill fuck up the solar system. thats why a near encounter of another star would be bad, because it would have a noticeabily stronger influence on outer planets than the sun and fuck up their orbits.

Each refueling launch is one launch that could put up 100 tons worth of station modules and cargo. 6+ starship launches would result in a massive space station that could house dozens of people comfortably for the 6 months or so it takes to get to mars and back.
Explain to me why they should instead launch fuel into orbit on those 6+ launches.

this isn't true, right? if you accelerate the sun in any particular direction, the planets won't be affected at all. their orbits would change once the sun has moved and eventually fall into the sun or get lost into interestellar space but that's it

I wonder how much air-time you could get with an ultralight little drone on the order of soccer ball size that used nitrogen thrusters. Hell, what about disposable off-the shelf CO2 cartridges?
With lunar gravity you might be able to have the thing complete decently big circuit around you or a point-investigation and return on just a couple cartridges.

Basically, but much smaller. The guts of a cellphone and one or two more instruments attached to a thruster array, all enclosed in a wireframe ball made with little carbon fiber struts for impact resistance.
Something you could clip to your suit on an EVA, program a route on the spot, and toss the little guy up to go fly it.

They really should team up with India (maybe this already happened, in a sense?) because of the natural symbiosis.
I have been to MANY US/Canadian border towns, from BC all the way to Quebec, and every goddamn one of them has a gigantic, stinky paper mill, churning out billions of rolls of ass wipe, presumably for export.

An extremely basic sketch. Obviously the thruster orientation wouldn't be straight up and down like that, I've abstracted the throttle control area as one big blob, I didn't even render the sensor//computer area opposite the CO2 tanks, etc. You get the idea.
The cluster of cartridges would ideally be hot-swappable as an entire unit, the gist being that you could pre-load a few fuel hubs and only screw/unscrew one big assembly while on the EVA instead of every fiddly little tank.
I also only vaguely know how to do some of the stuff required to actually build this, but I may try to slap together some prototypes and figure it out along the way.

Holy shit you wouldn’t need propellant on a simple device that uses spring tension on the Moon. How high could you realistically lob something like this? It could be pretty simple, as another anon suggested—no more massive than a smart phone. A couple of cameras, software for mapping 3D on each hop. A motor that pulls it into tension and hops it again. You could do gyros for stability but honestly you could skip that and just have a weighted bottom so it always lands on the same side ready to spring hop again

In 2019, Telesat contracted with Blue Origin on their New Glenn rocket and Relativity Space with their Terran 1 rocket, for satellite launches to their LEO constellation.
In 2020, Telesat filed plans for expanding the satellite count to its LEO constellation to over 1,600 satellites. In November 2020, Telesat announced that it will become publicly traded on the American stock index NASDAQ in mid-2021.
In July 2023, LEO 3 satellite was launched.
In September 2023, Telesat announced a new contract with SpaceX for 14 launches with up to 18 satellites on each launch for the Lightspeed constellation, starting in mid-2026

Elon is up there with von Braun (in terms of being based)—but likewise while Elon doesn’t have an SS past or isn’t Luth*ran, he did feed his child hormone blockers and he is extremely reddit lol. Even still, I like him, and him buying twitter certainly saved it from Vijaya Gadde and the other libtard power-hungry sycophants willing to block anyone with conservative views. But he can’t come in and just change it to “X” that is so larpy. It’s Twitter. It was always twitter.

They are paying SpaceX to launch Canadian-made satellites on reusable Falcon 9s, with their own ground stations, for sovereign use by Canada under their rules (once in space, full control by Canada). This is okay with me, smarter than other government money pits, like Ariane 6, which cant accomplish things like constellations. They outsourced the launch costs, unlike the stupid ESA, and NASA's SLS.

Is that just another slight upgrade of von Braun's Aggregat 8 design like the Ariane 5 was?
Imagine how wonderful the European space program would currently be if Hitler had won. He was already 20 years ahead of everyone else in the 1940s, and since we're just now starting to exit the half century long post Apollo setback, that means Hitler would be 70 years ahead of what we've currently got and that doesn't even factor in nazi Germany's demonstrated ability to bring new technology into action quicker.

It’s like asking what if the CSA won the civil war, would the Confederate States of America now have the ultimate space program because they would have Florida, TX, all the gulf coast production facilities, etc.? It doesn’t matter because the CSA loses in any scenario so there’s no point in speculating.

How feasible is it to make a modular space station from multiple connected starships, fuel them up in Earth orbit and fill them with supplies, then boost them on a multi year trip to wherever we want, with removable starships for landings? ISS already demonstrated that people can live in space for over a year just fine, so this setup would be even more comfortable than ISS, and it's just a mobile station to wherever you want to go, with optional return to Earth orbit after a few years to resupply and exchange people. Sounds much comfier than spending multiple years in a single starship. Could even make it rotate for some artificial gravity.

Oh so an entity like SpaceX only has time and resources to do one thing like fly Starship? They can’t also do other things like, oh I don’t know, try to perpetually shatter the rocket booster reuse record and develop other things such as Dragon 2 viewing domes and EVA suits and EVA rails.
Sorry if this response is a bit petty but I’m just trying to drive home the fact that, yes, you can do a fucking Venus flyby and still focus on lunar landings and Starlink and a Mars colony. And that’s just using ONE (1) company as an example. There’s also NASA with SLS, if it never dies. And probably maybe blue origin if they ever get off their ass.

There's only three real challenges to Venusian sample collection: Pressure, Getting back into orbit, and Temperature.

Using wikipedia numbers (its quick and easy), we're dealing with 92 atmospheres of pressure. This isn't insurmountable, as not only do we reguarly go deeper than that in our own oceans, it isn't even that deep comparatively. Sources vary, but most military subs are capable of a depth equal or greater than the Venusian equivalent, aka 920 meters below the surface. So, we just gotta send a fucking submarine, lol.
>Back to Orbit
While it is true that we have reguarly sent shit to Venus, it is only some of the things we didn't drop onto Venus that have come back. Venus is massive, compared to the other two inner planets we haven't stepped on yet, with a gravity of 8.87 m/s squared, and its atmosphere would require us to send a probe capable of having over 27 km/s of usable Delta-V when it lands. In essence, we gotta land a fully fueled ship, capable of surviving Venus's atmosphere, just to get it back.
>Temperature
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, at 464 degrees Celsius. Thankfully, we have an alloy capable of surviving not just the insane heat, but also the stupid fucking dissolved sulfuric acid the air has: Stainless steel. Jet fuel can't melt it, and neither can Venus, and it's corrosion resistant as well.
>What do we need to do?
In essence, we must bring a second spacecraft, made of stainless steel and rated to a depth of 1000 meters below Earth's oceans, with enough fuel to launch itself back into orbit, and yet also capable of landing itself and carrying a probe made to sample Venus's surface. That's a tall ask, yes, but I think it could be done within the next 50 years or so. We know, roughly, Venus's atmospheric composition, and could make gas chambers capable of testing our probe ferries, as well as testing our remote equipment under high temperatures. Don't want our comms to die.

Funnily enough, remaking the Block 5 F9 with half-meter thick SAE 904L steel and strapping it to a starship should be good enough for the purposes of this mission. Pressure, temperature, and corrosion resistant enough for the hour or two needed to get the sample and gtfo, and able to actually leave Venus. Of course, getting it to Venus is another question entirely.

You are forgetting all the hundreds of refueling missions required, launch cadence, launch and catch sites, endless lawfare, political obstruction, environmentalists, and soccer moms being NIMBYs, complaining about sonic booms, the imminent danger of accidents, it goes on and on. Trump will lose and cant help at all, Elon is hated widely. Our only chance is a savior like Australia being bros and providing a mega launch site in BFE, or better yet, offshore launch platforms.
The first significant accident, or deaths, will halt everything.
This is a HUGE uphill battle, delays will mount, not the fault of SpaceX at all.
EVERY launch permitted will be of utmost importance, and Elon's scalability to massive cadence will be squashed by the powers that be. He will only get 20 or 30 a year, and fail as a result.

It's just a composite. Literally every landscape milky way shot is, cause you can't go more than 15-20 seconds without noticeable star trailing even at wide angles like that. You take long exposures that are tracked using a mount, and then you take a static image of the foreground that you want on a stationary tripod and then photoshop them together. That's just how these photos go.

Stop your soi-fi larping and please join the rest of us in reality.
The real threat is China poised to stake out land on the Moon and Mars by landing more Chang’e landers and eventually human habitats and boots on the ground.

That’s more “inaction for something they don’t even realize is an asset yet.”
It would do congress some good to be scared into reality (by China and Russia ramping up activity) and realizing they need to push Starship along with as minimal hindrances as there could be. Unfortunately, voters don’t care about space and ergo Congress doesn’t care either. Congress is in their own world reaping money and jobs and bribes from SLS/Orion thinking we can stay ahead of everyone else. And the shitty part is: they’re kind of right. For now.

Right now it just feels like the FAA isn’t set up to deal with a super heavy lift rocket coming out of nowhere, suddenly launching from a non-NASA site that doesn’t have all of the regulatory and environmental shit figured out since the 50s.
The gears are grinding as the FAA is trying to figure out how to go about it. It’s fucking shitty and slowing down progress without a doubt, we can both agree to that.

Day 5 post is the exception but you see what I mean about good newsposts mixed in with bad ones? So much spam nobody reads everything especially when the majority had already been in the thread. If you post only new things that are new info and not rehashes then people would read more thoroughly. If you put 10 different images in a line that arent unique or eye catching, whos gonna read that? You need to curate what you post so that it is useful/new info only and not rehashed.

It was a rough one. I wanted to track the special crater since thats the only reason anyone likes this moon but unfortunately the perspective I took had no shadows going around the outside so it becomes a blob midway thru. The parts at start and finish tho are pretty nice due to the shadows.

NASA got cucked before the great discovering of TNOs which hit its peak around the early 2000s. They were still saddled with the shuttle and are now saddled with Artemis, no free budget has been available for real science missions for a while. We lucked out with New Horizons since everyone and their mother knew of Pluto.

The US hasn’t had a culture of innovation when it comes to space flight since the 70s. If not for spacex and specifically Musk they would still stuck with SLS or even relying on the Russians to get shit to orbit and if anything should happen to Musk then stagnation will return indefinitely. Even now it looks like starship will be hindered by the US government purely to spite Elon even if it would be extremely valuable from a strategic point of view.
China is just gonna copy all of this and speedrun to the moon and Mars while Elon won’t even get permission for a static fire until all the local crab experts have been consulted on it’s potential damage to their habitats.

All they have to do is copy Falcon 9, and copy Starship, then produce the damn things on a grand scale. With no concerns about accidents, the environment, lawsuits, etc.
They don't need to innovate at this point, the plan is laid bare for fucking everyone to copy.
SpaceX is not struggling with design or manufacturing, they are struggling a hostile government administration.

You realise China has already eclipsed the US in ship building, fighter production, metallurgy refining, normal/electric vehicle production and basically everything else in between. The only place the US solidly stands above them in is orbital launch vehicles, but they just recently demonstrated a self landing first stage so it’s only a matter of time before they begin developing falcon 9 equivalents and eventually starship equivalents except without the constant litigation and bullshit hindering from their government that spacex has to deal with so they can spam as many as they want and as fast as they want until they get it right.
Also relying on this belief that China is just going to stop advancing and miraculously collapse in 2 more weeks is incredibly stupid and is pure cope. They aren’t going anywhere.

Germany is an occupied nation and has been since 1945. They are not sovereign and will do whatever they are told to do. The US has literally 30k soldiers there at any given time, has spied on the messages of their chancellors and politicians, has blown up their infrastructure openly and Germany has done absolutely nothing because they are not independent.
If the US wanted they could tell the Germans to revitalise their industry and stop shutting down their power plants or bringing in millions of feral retards and all those green politicians would do a complete 180 and follow the orders given to them as if it was their own genius idea. They won’t because destroying the industry of Germany just means all those companies will move to the US and the US industry will have less competition in general with Germany deindustrialised so they encourage it.

This is an outdated perception. China isn't cheap anymore, there are countries with >6 times cheaper labor. The difference is that China is full of high IQ people who are willing to work 60 hour weeks and give it their best. I highly recommend that you watch American Factory. It will open your mind to how entitled, lazy, and incompetent western workers are. There's a reason the chips you're using to browse 4chan right now were made in Taiwan, not the USA. Even the 50 billion chips act was not enough to overcome the barrier of widespread incompetence and bureaucratic dysfunction. And yes, I know Taiwan is not China, but the point is the same.

The next 10 years are going to be essential in deciding the future dominant players in space. Whoever pulls ahead now, will retain that lead indefinitely.
At this most crucial of moments, there is a fork in the road, and we have an incoming administration of even more hostility towards rocketry, big, disruptive ventures, and innovation in general. The US is fucked, Europe is fucked, Russia is fucked, India is rising, and especially China is emerging on top, while slowly realizing they have been given a gift by all of these formerly dominant, but now cucked nations.
These trends will not change, if only SpaceX can find a way out of the grip of Western governments.

>If Starship was snubbed from HLS downselection I might agree more
Starship selection happened during the transition period by an interm executive that retired shortly after so that politics cant pin point back to him as part of Biden admin's retaliation. They did however go after Kathy Leuders and demoted her and removed all role in Starship. She was previously promoted during Trump admin for her role in commercial crew.

Buying Starlink service for all remote unconnected Canadians would have cost say $2B. Instead, Canada opts for making their own constellation (Canadian jobs, pride) and will also have full control over censorship or whatever they see fit to do.
I'm not sure if the old Blue Origin or Relativity Space contracts are still in effect, or if Falcon 9 will be the sole launch provider now.
Its not a huge cost mistake, and retains some locally made pride and control, which is understandable.
>The internet satellite constellation is targeted to have a 30-50 ms latency. The satellites are expected to be around 800 kg (1,800 lb) and last 10 years on orbit. The constellation is expected to have a 16-24 Tb/s capacity with 8 Tbit/s (1 TB/s) available for customers.

So far their strategy of sitting back and selling shit while the US stabs itself and allies 30 times before jumping head first onto concrete has proven very effective.
Literally all they have to do is businesses as usual until the US and friends demographic issues become so untenable that they China can just expand without fear of sanctions or serious confrontation. I get that you will obviously try to cope and say China has a declining population which means they will explode in 14 more days, but they aren’t flooding themselves with pajeets or Haitians so long term they are in a much better position.

Japan was conquered and occupied by the US lmao. I mentioned earlier how Germany isn’t a sovereign nation, but Japan is just as bad with US military personnel numbering around 50k there. More than any other nation on Earth aside from the US itself. When the US made them sign the plaza accords they knew it would fuck up their economy, but they did it anyway because they are not independent and sure enough they got their lost decade with the dreams of their economy overtaking the US smothered. A loyal puppet will never exceed it’s master because the master can just order them crippled and they will oblige.
China is not a puppet of the US and does not need to accept or even acknowledge any demands made by them. The US cannot get them to cripple themselves nor can they even sanction them to death without crippling themselves due to how dependent the US has become after exporting all its industry. The dynamic is very different compared to 1980s Japan.

The Roman empire both thrived off of and destroyed itself by importing free labor as slaves: The west follows its example.
The thing with China though is they have adopted a semi-western system: they're getting cheapish labor from their rural areas. Once that runs dry they're going to have to do the same as the west and import labor to keep economic activity up.
This gay earth is stuck in a stagnating system until labor costs skyrocket (if that ever even happens).

The reality is that if SpaceX doesn't do it, no one will. China will never support serious space travel for the very same reason our own bureaucrats never will. They hate anything and everything that could allow people to not be under their control. China would always need anything space related to be for Earth and dependent on Earth, because if there were something like a self-sustaining Mars colony there would be the possibility of it seeking independence from them. Expecting anyone but SpaceX to do it is functionally expecting humanity to be tied to this rock until we die.

Circumlunar / long duration would require a new service module if they weren’t visiting a station. Lunar would also require a new heat shield. Not impossible, and would absolutely mog SLS/Orion. But still—these are the challenges they would need to meet.
A one-off satellite servicing would be dumb imo. Dragon-Hubble makes sense as it’s a super sensitive satellite worth saving. But showing that Dragon can save *any* shitty satellite when Drafon is being phased out in the near-future for Starship is dumb. Plus the concept of a manned servicing mission is simply more expensive to do than an automated reboost of most satellites so it isn’t a good business model (again; this is why dragon/hubble works because it’s WORTHY of a one-off manned servicing mission)

Yeah perhaps replace “near-future” with “mid-future” but my point should still stand, no? Not really worth it to showcase “new” Dragon feature now that we’ve seen Starship fly four times already and HLS will land on the Moon soon enough. Starship is accelerating, even despite the doldrums of nefarious regulation. Polaris 1 made sense because it was more about showcasing the EVA suits and all they had to do was depress and climb up a ladder.
Juxtaposed to this: there is simply no need for Jared to show that Dragon can reboost a satellite. You’d need to pay for an entire Dragon flight to do this. No one is willing to do this except maybe NASA and they probably don’t have a payload they care about expect for Hubble and Webb, really

Dragon's internal life support should be fine for cirlunar work with a little bit of finishing off. dearMoon was originally going to be a crew dragon launched on a Falcon Heavy and Dragon 2's initial capacity for transporting 7 crew only got axed due to NASA's seat geometry preferences. The LS margins for taking 4 crew to the moon should already be there. A service module is needed more to provide propulsion that doesn't come from a few nose-mounted Dracos and a more capable deep-space communication system.

what I’ve gathered from the last decade of spaceflight—considering SLS‘s new tower for block 2, new glenn’s speculative third stage, Stretched Starship, and now what you said about a Dragon service module—is that if you’re going to build a ground service tower PLEASE ensure the upper ~33% of it it can retract up and down by like 20 or 30 feet to save yourself the headache of needing a whole new tower kek

With falcon heavy to TLI you'd have like 10 extra tons to play with, this shouldn't be a problem. The Apollo heatshield is also well documented, and while a little artisanal for SpaceX, would likely not take several years or several billion dollars to integrate and test.

Look I’m not trying to be a pessimist and I know SpaceX can work some real magic, but this is a manned dragon mission we are talking about. Look at Polaris 1 that literally just flew! They followed the regular Dragon-to-ISS flight profile and then pulled a big dogleg burn after the fact just to keep the regulatory paperwork as minimal as possible. SpaceX can afford to change things quickly for SS development but they aren’t going to barnyard engineer an upgrade to the Dragon 2 tower or try to put Dragon on a FH. Just like they aren’t going to independently chase propulsive Dragon landing or second stage reuse for F9. It’s within their scope, yes—but let’s be pragmatic here. There are just some things that aren’t going to happen even if they’re within the realm of possibility

The richest barely want to head to LEO, much less Mars. Spaceflight is still incredibly dangerous and uncomfortable, and pseuds who keep blathering on about it being a "billionaires playground" don't know what it's like to attempt camping in a space the size of a Camry for a week. Life on Mars is going to suck, and it will suck for hundreds of years, if not thousands. Consider how easy it is for you to walk outside and breathe fresh air, whereas on Mars literally every part about the environment is trying to kill you. You think every billionaire wants to give up their Mercedes and cliffside house in Malibu to eat a chicken sandwich grown in a tube and sniff your fellow colonists' farts for decades? Only the most psychotic and incomprehensibly tough people are going to Mars, which is why they will eventually be a race of superhumans.

god I hated that trope so, so much. A shame, because the visuals in that movie are superb. It's always the same with "sci-fi" movies nowadays. humans = bad, capitalism = bad, expanding and colonization = bad, space = bad. It's the complete opposite of the 60s and 70s version of the genre. They also go out of the way to make the characters so one-dimensional it's embarrassing to even continue watching. Prime exampe, "Elysium". You now have a horde a anti-intellectual, mouth-breathing normies screaming "it'S juSt liKe EllySIUm!1" every time something space related takes place. Completely ironic that Matt Damon even agreed to take part in that movie, considering his participation in Interstellar, a film that deals with the consequences of people not caring about space anymore, and The Martian, which is the most realistic spaceflight movie of this era that I can think of and first comes to my mind.

Why no lunar flyby? Dragon was always designed to return from the moon and Mars with its super chunky heat shield. Maybe ECLSS is an issue but perhaps you can increase the free flight endurance with one less crew member. Falcon Heavy l, if needed in order to actually throw Dragon that far, might be the largest actual modification in that case but really only seems to be a dynamics and analysis problem since all the hardware for that pairing actually exists.

>A major X4.5 solar flare was produced by AR 3825 on September 14th, 2024 @ 15:29 UTC. The event was associated with a fast moving halo coronal mass ejection (CME). Although the eruption is directed mostly to the east, the western flank of the plasma cloud does appear Earth directed. A passage past Earth will be possible within 48 hours.
>Unsettled to active levels are expected on 15 Sep due to lingering
influence from the 11 Sep CME. By midday on 16 Sep, influences from a
positive polarity CH HSS, combined with the arrival of the 13 Sep and 14
Sep CMEs, are likely to increase conditions to G3 (Strong) storm levels.
Combined CME/CH effects are anticipated to persist into 17 Sep, with G2
(Moderate) geomagnetic storm conditions likely.
>The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at normal
to moderate levels, with a chance for high values, through 15 Sep.
Values will likely decrease to normal to moderate levels following the
anticipated arrival of the 14 Sep CME. There is a slight, yet increasing
chance for the 10 MeV proton flux to reach the S1 (Minor) solar
radiation storm levels on 15-16 Sep due to influence from the 14 Sep
X4.5 flare event. Barring an additional event, probabilities will
decrease somewhat on 17 Sep after the arrival of the 14 Sep CME.

Anyone else agree that a higher launch cadence would actually protect wildlife? If a bird or some other animal sees a starship launching it's not going to build a nest too close. More frequent launches increase the probability of this.

If you only launch once every 2 years like SLS then yeah a bunch of wildlife is probably going to nest around your launchsite and get incinerated on the rare occasion that you send a rocket up. Spotted owls don't make nests in Mcdonalds drivethrough.

I’m consciousness of that. I think it goes without saying that /sfg/ unanimously knows this. I’ll vote accordingly. It just feels like the world is going to shit, is all. And I’m tired of feeling like I am being dragged down with it. We need hope and I don’t know who can deliver that. SpaceX and the dream of a colony is my medicine; but society perhaps needs something more. The roots are now tainted, there’s a systematic disease that has spread to the core of society

It'd be cool if a couple hundred of us could just get on a boat and sail towards some unknown, uninhabited land, but that era is in the past. Our only option is offworld, it's the only way to follow the same imperative that led people to find new lands and settle them, now that the map of Earth is all filled in.

life is on a race against the clock as soon as it drops darwinian selection pressures. people have completely random genetic mutations with absolutely no filter now. 95%+ of mutations are bad mutations because we were already very well tuned life forms by our environment. we need to advance tech faster than genetic decay can advance, and it is not clear what will win. even if we gain mastery over the human genome, that is a whole pandoras box which will destroy us. the elite will use gene editing to destroy human conciousness among the lower classes and create a cattle race. eventually they will interbreed withthe cattle race and human conciousness will be lost forever.
