>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.

>propel our star - and therefore the entire solar system - forward
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

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

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.

Baseless alt history speculation. They would have been squeezed out of supply chains regardless, and ultimately nuked no matter what.
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.

Yup based WvB.

Begged him, made up statistics and reasons for its importance. Von Braun was so fucking based it’s unreal. Driven purely by autism and love of the game.

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. But even discounting them—you can do a venus flyby through starship and not “detract” from Mars

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

>Pressure
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.

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.

But at the risk of letting the gap between us and China close a little tighter, which is a scary thought

I wouldn’t go that far, for now at least. If Starship was snubbed from HLS downselection I might agree more. 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. It doesn’t feel nefarious though. Just… bureaucratic. Strangled by red tape and regulation. There needs to be huge changes that frees up SX

unrelated to space flight but I find it interesting how people feel the need to add alliteration when parodying things. neither smart rocks nor brilliant pebbles have alliteration, but your plays on it do.

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.

The US hasn’t had a culture of innovation when it comes to space flight since the 70s.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

so.. what else is out there for Polaris 2 to be the first in something, that is feasible to do within a reasonable amount of time. and that wouldn't require that many modifications to the Falcon/Dragon architecture? no lunar flyby, no hubble reboost (sorry, NASA is too risk adverse), no falcon heavy launch, no polar mission (fram2 will be the first one), no long-duration flight, anything else that could be interesting?

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.

So which side are you? Russian or Chinese guy looking to hamstring SpaceX, or angry Indian guy who fucked up betting with Crypto?

neither, i always have been very pro spacex, and even pro musk regardless of his dumb commentaries, but now there are more chances that spacex gets more damage from musk's literal calls for assassination of highly likely future president and involvement in culture wars than from spacex theoretically decreasing its perfomance in case musk loses direct control of the company

>Maybe all intelligent life gets this retarded before it ever gets interplanetary
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.
