I don't think its NASA specific, just another example of government bureucracy and basically the incompetence it incentivizes
it could very well be these same exact people were much more effective under a different culture, at least that is what Musk seems to think
the examples he used during the All-in interview were west-vs-east germany and north-vs-south korea
a country gets divided up arbitrarily at some point for a while, different managment cultures (in a sense) get employed
the other one is much more productive and these start compounding year after year so the results become massively different after a while

Because it has to flip when landing, and that makes sure that the fuel goes to one end. The last thing you want is for the fuel to be sloshing around somewhere other than the pipe that comes out of the fuel tank.

it only takes one wrong slosh to get air over the drain pipe, so you want to make sure that the virtual gravity is always going the right way, and you can't be sure of that with the header tank somewhere else, especially with the regular big tank
you want it on an extreme end of the rocket when it flips because the centrifugal force is strongest

How do you play the factorio game when you’re doing something niche though, such as commercial stations? You’re not going to need thousands of modules. It could work for someone like SpaceX (though they probably don’t want to run a station for NASA, that’s a lot of work but I digress) they could leverage their already-factorio business model via Falcon and Starship industrial chains and just make station pieces as well. But how could Axiom do it? How could Rocket Lab play factorio with satellite buses? When there isn’t high demand?
That’s what I don’t understand. Musk had F1 but quickly pivoted to F9 and started pumping them out like crazy. How did he get away with that?

Looking for habitable worlds is a reminder that rare Earth hypothesis is right. Combined obviously with rare evolution too.
When you look at pictures of galaxies you are probably looking at many galaxies which have no spacefaring life in them at all. I would conservatively guess its in a ratio of 2 dead to 1 alive, but the number could be in the thousands, or easily could be so high that the entire observable universe is dead.

Yeah you're right. I wasn't even thinking about the start of life, but that adds a whole extra layer which by itself is fatal. Just the probability of a perfect planet and evolution of life on that planet are insane. The albedo of Earth has miraculously changed over the course of its history to compensate for the changing luminosity of the sun. What are the chances of that!?

our civilization was far from inevitable, it rests on a large number of astronomically improbable events. There are basic fiilters like does the planet have the correct amount of water, is combustion possible in the atmosphere, is useful photosynthesis possible etc which all rely on an increidbly rare planet to begin with. In our solar system Earth is the only planet with a perfect ratio of water, all the others being deserts or water worlds. It is the only planet where you can start a fire in the open air, which I know is caused by life, but you could have a world with different chemistry where that doesnt happen. It is the only planet where useful photosynthesis is possible because it has a thin enough atmoshere to allow energy rich radiation to reach the surface, but has a gigantic moon acting as a dynamo which diverts the highest energy radiation away from the planet. Even if all these conditions are met, the planet must remain perfect for billions of years around a changing star, and going by Earths example we very nearly passed through the entire habitable history of the planet without any complex lifeforms developing

Something is necessary, after Christianity's search for truth led to its own murder, it took the west no time at all to destroy itself with Nazism and communism. We still haven't figured out a solution, we were just rich enough to distract ourselves with music and drugs (every decade since Woodstock can be defined by a genre and a drug). Now that things are getting rough, a pseudo religious ideology has shown up again. This is a dire unsolved problem worse than any other we face.
I've been exploring some method for logic based fanaticism, and I think it may have something to do with space exploration. Space and time are infinite, so if you assume infinite expansion you can draw a cubic function of human lives over time. At some future point, say a million years, you could say that shifting the curve a second to the right reduces the human lives by a trillion. So every second wasted in not spreading out through the stars costs a trillion lives. If human life is inherently valuable then the math is obvious. Nothing would be more important, and expending your life to remove an impediment wouldn't require a second thought. I'm not sure how to codify it but I probably will attempt to start a cult when I do. Be on the lookout for a rust red cathedral in boca chica

I don't think this is as unreasonable as Berger is making it out to be. ~400 satellites is a a constellation about 60% the size of OneWeb. If they've got the same form-factor as OneWeb's satellites and can launch 34 at a time that'd only need 12 Soyuz-2 launches to deploy everything, which would be easy for RSC Progress to provide and wouldn't break the bank of even a Russian-funded project. You should be able to do build this for less than $5 billion, but when you work in Russia you do need to budget a bit extra for graft.

They actually need 24 rockets, but that's spread out from here to 2030 so it's only about 5 extra launches per year. If you discard the plan to have 400 satellites in orbit by the end of the decade as completely unreasonable (which it is since they haven't started building the satellites yet) and let the timeline stretch out meeting the launch demand becomes almost trivial. Russia's launch rate has always been held back by a lack of payloads. Getting the funding is going to be a lot more difficult than contracting the boosters.

It's easy to keep production going when you keep production going.
America stopped work on anything relating to the Saturn and thus the tooling and methods where lost.

There is no inherent roadblocks to keep something manufactured for an exceedingly long time. Especially for something as bespoke as a rocket engine where nearly everything is produced in the country.
If anything it should get easier with time. If you manually machined something 70 years ago, you can use CNC machining instead and get more consistent results faster.

Nothing is lost with a change in management when it comes to the physical places that manufacture things. The Soviet space program pretty quickly pulled itself together after the fall of the Union.

If anything the decrease in government support after the fall would only increase the use of historic designs due to already having parts and engines ready and avoiding the investment required to produce new designs.

Part of that is because the Soviets were centrally planned dumbasses. You'll read accounts of major planning meetings and you'll see them struggling with questions like "how to we provide enough tasks to keep all 70,000 workers at these design bureaus from sitting around idle?" Having lots of different engine production lines helped with that. They also preferred to have rockets tailored to launch a specific payload rather than designing a standardized rocket and fitting their payloads to that with some extra capacity left over. That was why they had a dozen different R7 variants flying before they standardized everything with the Soyuz-U. Having separate customized Soyuz/Voskhod/Molnyia types all flying at once helped keep worker utilization at 100%.

They worked for the central idiots. They were good at making engines but had no say in what engines they made or how the projects were planned overall

They had a lot of engines because it was useful for keeping everyone working. They kept the engines after the wall came down because maximizing employment was even more important in the 1990s and it was a lot easier and cheaper than designing and building new engines. Russia has barely built anything new in the last 40 years.

I can explain this one. Really theres 2 reasons for it, the first is a deliberate policy by the US government to fund soviet space activities so their engineers don't go rogue, secondly since the US never developed a ORSC engine the only engines available in the US were hydromeme or gas generator. The soviet engines despite being decades old were far superior to anything else available in the US which led to a lot of american companies buying them for cheap.

Life goes on?
That's quite literally what happens when seemingly major historic events happen.
90% of the population goes about their daily lives. This would include anyone involved with manufacturing, well anything.
If the top management ever dissolves. People don't suddenly stop going where they are employed. More often then not when the administration or management structure collapses, workers create one of their own.

Plenty of examples where factories abandoned by owners with employees left to fend for themselves often form a new company producing the exact same products. Just without the gross mismanagement.
A working management structure would forcibly remove workers and dismantle the factory should they want production to stop

I wonder: let's assume that you aren't an engineer and have no actual knowledge of mechanical engineer, but have unrestricted access to any tool that might help you build (DIY) and run rockets and rocket engines (incl. fuel), as detect and mitigate problems. do you think you would be able to "learn by doing" and actually make a working rocket, launcher or whatever?

Per the United States Supreme Court, no. The regulations are created by the Congress, and enforced through the agencies. If the law that created the agencies says nothing about a particular subject, either the inference to create said regulation must be created carefully to be sure it maximally fulfills the function of the legally created boy for the purposes in which it was made, or it is unlawful. We have spent the last 40 years in a situation where these agencies could come up with whatever they want with minimal oversight of what they decided to regulate because the Courts created a precedent where they said "Chevron Deference" to say that they can run themselves, and that time is now over.

Understanding the details of fuel grain combustion are a bit beyond me, but the mechanical of casting a solid propellant motor are fairly straightforward. I never got into doing that but I knew a few model rocket guys a few decades ago that did. Anyone with the right tools and materials should be capable of doing that. If you can get basic solid fuel manufacture down then upgrading the design to a pressure-fed hybrid engine shouldn't be impossible either. Improving would just be a matter of iteration with the only big question being if I'm smart enough to figure out why the latest design is working better or worse (spoiler: I'm probably not).

I honestly don't really pay much attention to bureaucratic nonsense even within the USA, let alone the rest of the world. I don't think the rest of the world really needs it because they still have systems where the Sovereign gets to do whatever it thinks it needs to, or can do, without much of anything in the way of limits, in the name of governance.

>After considering these foreign legal systems, we conclude that Chevron is not inevitable if we understand Chevron to mean either its current two-step formation or a judicial deference regime that fills a similar space. Italy and the UK, despite some indications to the contrary, are best thought of as having eschewed Chevron deference. Two countries with something similar to Chevron — Germany and Australia — give their deference doctrines significantly smaller domains than Chevron. Canada was the only country that we studied that had a similar form of deference. Moreover, Chevron’s focus on agency authority to act with the force of law and statutory ambiguity is nearly always absent in other countries’ deference doctrines.

You got it.
If you don't bend, you break.

The sway in the tower actually widens it's tolerances.
That's why modern skyscrapers are designed to gently sway back and forth during an earthquake or 100 mph winds, if they didn't have any give they would experience structural failure when the forces involved become too great.

Bureau 1440 actually demonstrated the same end-to-end video communication Kuiper did a few months before - august 2023 - and an operational size satellites were launched in May

IMO it's like, max 2 years behind Kuiper and G60/Qianfan in maturity, problem is funding. It's VERY much ahead of Europe's IRIS2
It's not quite as big as Kuiper or G60/Qianfan, satellites are 150-200 kg and they only plan 300-400 of them for operational capability (full scale is 900, which they hope to reach by 2035), it's also a private program that is moving faster than Sfera, IMO without the war it would have been possible to deploy this decade or early next one, problem is well, the war.

Funding might not be as hard to get as it would be otherwise. Starlink has performed exceptionally well in Ukraine and there's a lot of people in the Russian military that would like to have a similar system for their own use. For all the talk about a 1440 constellation putting high speed internet in every Russian home it's the dual-use possibles that would get something like this funded.

And it's a low bar to say that they're ahead of Iris2. Even the constellations that haven't officially announced yet are ahead of Iris2.

Rare Earth Hypothesis is, at the very least, consistent with ALL observations thus far made. It always amuses me when people get all huffy and start citing the number of stars in the galaxy and the number of galaxies and all that crap.

Like bro, okay. Add up all those zeros. How many orders of magnitude are you at? A reasonable estimate is 10^24 stars. Oooooh such a huge number amirite? Is it really though? If there are only 24 independent 1-in-10 dice rolls that need to occur for a planet with human-like life to develop, that's your 24 zeros already. Or just twelve mere 1-in-100 shots to clear. What are the real obstacles and how likely are they to be cleared?

One hint is that it took life on Earth something like a billion years to go from unicellular to multicellular. That development jump alone eats up several of your 24 zeros. And after unicellular life develops, a technologically advanced life form is by no means a given! It's not as though evolution works towards human-like lifeforms as a goal, it just selects for survival and if it "prefers" anything it prefers dumb crabs instead of smart apes. Even if life gets to the state of advanced ape, how likely is it to survive and thrive long enough to develop even basic radio technology? Anatomically modern humans got genetically bottlenecked at least once, probably several times. Our survival was by no means a given even once we became clever apes who knew how to knock the rocks together. It could easily be the case that we simply got quite lucky to even be here. 24 zeros just isn't a lot.

If we assume all life starts out aqueous then the bottlenecks past multicellular sea life are having well watered land area capable of hosting primitive plants, and periodic major impacts. The land area offers an escape from sea predators for plants (it is MUCH easier to adapt photosynthesis to land), and competition for rain and sunlight among plants will drive along all axes until something like trees emerge. Then eventually animals figure out air breathing to escape danger or for better performance, so you just need to keep rolling the "shuffle land animals" dice with major impactors until tree animals with dextrous limbs and 3D navigation brains emerge. I'd wager that at least 10% of planets that evolve ape like life develop chemical spacecraft if given sufficient time before the star kills the planet.

NTA but I'm confident life did not start in the sea and that water worlds cant produce abiogenesis.
life probably started in volcanic lakes which would evaporate most of their water content during volcanic activity leaving behind a chemically rich pond.
There is the first problem after abiogenesis. How does life get from the pond to the sea, and howdoes it survive the very different conditions in the sea?

At one point there were multiple species of human living at the same time in our planet. Also our closest relatives in the ape family are humanoid and they are intelligent too in case you forgot.

Not only that but every single step that created the humanoid body plan of one head two arms two legs and a torso can absolutely happen on other planets. The laws of physics shape animals into the same body plans all the time, it's called convergent evolution. There is nothing stopping a quadrupedal animal from evolving on another planet. There is nothing stopping that quadruped from taking up an arboreal lifestyle (trees have evolved multiple times!). There is nothing stopping that arboreal quadruped from developing grasping appendages. There is nothing stopping that quadruped from coming down from the trees and becoming bipedal.

It's not going to happen. The government already tried to get Lockheed and the other defense contractors to make the tech available but nothing came of it. The real research is being done by the sol foundation. Very promising results came from Garry Nolan's work with "experiencers". They found a tangible difference between the brain of an average person and the brain of the people they were studying. It was found in whole family groups, just like John Mack and co. Found through their research on the phenomenon.

There are various forms of seti not just radio. They also want to search for laser comms as well. Some want to do "near seti" which is searching our solar system for artifacts or signs of intelligences. All are valid.

I just wish they also researched abduction cases as well. If people are reporting literal non human intelligences on earth, you would think at least someone would be interested in looking into that. even if there is only a 0.0001% chance that it might be legit, it'd still be the biggest discovery in all of human history.

Irrelevant. That's why you take large, diverse, sample sizes and use control groups.

Treat it like a police investigation. Police work with memory all the time and they have plenty of ways to deal with it. One of the most basic things they do is withhold specific details from the public. Say a woman murders a guy and accidentally leaves a red purse at the scene. They don't disclose this detail to the public. That way when a tip comes in regarding a strange woman entering the house with a red purse but leaving without it the police know that tip is more likely to be legitimate.
The same technique was used by abduction researcher and psychologist John Mack. He and his colleagues would keep certain details a secret and use them as a marker for legitimate abduction cases.

When you hear the same small detail over and over and over from vastly different people who do not know each other that becomes much more compelling than just one guy telling a story. It's not impossible to study this subject. No one has really made the effort to do so. It's a real shame too because we are losing valuable witnesses every day. This phenomenon has roots all the way back in the late 1800s. They've traced families back that far, and it may go back even further though that is more folkloric content which is less likely to bear fruit upon investigation.

Blue is antispace because technological innovation in the short term and human expansion in the long term threaten their ability to control everyone. Red is also (mostly) antispace because red is usually just blue with different branding. Red-vs-blue understandings of American politics are fundamentally flawed. The two party scam is just kayfabe set up to train the populace to only choose between two parts of the same group. In the past quarter century there's been a rising anti-establishment movement that manifested in two outsider factions on the left and right. The Regime was able to subvert the anti-establishment left almost completely, but was only partly successful with the anti-establishment right.

Antispace is earther status quo; prospace is always some type of insurrectionist belonging to one of a range of political philosophies

Some boomers, mostly zoomers though from what I’ve seen after being here a few years. Its mostly total geeks who know the internet (young) and are also obsessed with everything space. Boomers don’t find this place because they usually go to more common platforms like YouTube or for those a bit more professional they paying out to L2 at NSF which is a different forum that is dedicated to spaceflight. The thing about them is it costs money to post and is again extremely professional so you can’t say Nono words like you can here. So this general is the place where you can discuss spaceflight and such indepth while also being free to say what you want in relation to that. And yeah as you said right now we are infested with election tourists from r/T_d who are constantly on about muh party and shilling for whichever candidate.

This feature is KEY and the most innovative item on super heavy, aside from the Raptors themselves.

The new lifting scheme, both with the crane jig, and chopsticks, is now a 4 point grip for stability.
The second stage has 4 points, now the booster does too. Measure the spacing between the upper and lower points on the ship and booster, they are the same.
Hanging a booster from 2 points is inherently unstable, it will swing, and we do not want humans holding tag line ropes to get the fucking thing on the mount without banging Raptors on the sides. And the vertical launch mount alignment pins are fucking gay, and must be removed before launches. They are deleted for being gay and lame.

Yeah at some point they will be stalled on tower 2 because they need the catch data to know how to proceed. A repeat of flight 4 would only yield data about the new heat shield's performance and perhaps also improvents to raptor startup reliability that were made if any.

yes, they are retificient because the tower catch is the next critical step
heatshields can be iterated with or without tower catch independently on every flight, doing a launch which would basically only be about testing if the new flap heatshield works better or worse than the last one (that did work to an extent already) is basically just minor iteration
and if FAA wants to be the slow cunts they are, wasting launches is very bad
they get to the goal of full reusability quicker this way overall even if the time between IFT-4 and IFT-5 is longer this way (it shouldn't be really, that is just FAA fuckery, deciding to consult FWS about shit that they didn't care about previously and now that is confirmed by this complete bullshit fine about things that happened a year ago and they don't even have the jurisdiction over)

maximizing the amount of launches is not the actual goal here, its to develop a fully reusable launch system
launches give you new data which are critical for the development, but doing something that you already know works is pointless, minute iteration can wait

Like the part that said tank farms fall under the range operator? The FAA insisting it needs to rubber stamp something another government entity already approved isn't going to work in court anymore. The FAA's testimony on what the basis of the T-2 hour poll "rule" is will be something like because that's how so and so used to do it so that's how it must be done because it just does okay?

I only say he must be an employee so his family cant sue if the mission fails. Like all new crew vehicles require testing with elite NASA test pilot/astronauts, until certified for civilian use. Unless Elon's hand is forced by the US Government, and send NASA's chosen crew instead (BIG mistake), they are probably going to need to send exclusively their own employees, who legally swore on a stack of bibles, declaring explicitly their contracts "this is risky and accept death, without slowing SpaceX from trying again immediately."

Basically every chinese launchers fall within 4 categories:

>Derived from 60s hypergolic ICBMs, itself reverse engineered from 50s soviet rocket, using the same tooling,engines,infrastructure that were built under Mao.
>Derived from the same "building blocks" that China spent 25 years (1990-mid 2010s) developping from reverse engineering Energia/Zenit.
>Derived from the Solid ICBMs that the chinese developped in the 80s/90s/2000s, some are literally repurposed missiles (like the one that launched today), other are "just" civilian applications of the same technologies.
>Very Recent ones made from copying the general architecture and solutions as SpaceX has (Zhuque, Tianlong...), almost all of them have Hydrocarbon/LOX GG engines inspired by Merlin.

He had told them to turn it off prior. They didn’t. Then the safety checks weren’t in place to warn him it was on either. So he simply went to do his job which he thought he was safe to do and it turns out it wasn’t.

but this was not a safety issue and not an issue for launch success either
it was a landing issue, something that no other rocket does

did they ground the fleet for the landing failure? even when it was happening I couldn't find an explicit statement from someone involved that falcon was grounded. the FAA just said they were requiring an investigation.

That’s still a safety issue. And I’m just arguing from my perspective and experience. I’ve seen entire fleets grounded for a worn bolt hole. It wasn’t a safety issue in the sense that people could die, but rather that shot could fall off the plane that wasn’t supposed to. Turns out every plane in the fleet had the same wear, and now that bolt is on the maintenance checklist (that mode doesn’t fly anymore so it’s moot, but still).

You can be excited for launch to the point that you’re on the edge of your seat but no normal person even if they’re not hiding their emotions screams like a little girl at a launch like this. Look at how sportsballs fans react to their team scoring a touchdown. Thats what a normal person looks like. You stamping your feet flappin your hands pointing at the screen and screaming unintelligible things because you’re about to cream your pants at the thought of a launch is not normal.

It probably would given the launch cadence that SpaceX is looking at for the boosters especially with all of the damage that OLM takes on lift-off, the new flame trench on OLM-2 will mitigate that improving longevity.
I still suspect that the current tower will need to undergo a big redesign to not only increase height (definitely going to happen with Starship V.2 & 3) but to also improve the range of motion of the catch arms and minimize the tower shaking when it moves the arms

if youre talking about efficiency then 100% unironically true. they developed falcon 1 and 9 for a tiny fraciton of the cost of what a legacy provider would take. then falcon heavy cost 1.5 BILLION. which was pretty high and similar to a legacy company. Now starship costs at least 15 BILLION and hasnt even reached a useable state. by the time it is working it will cost more than SLS.

Does super heavy get caught on the pins or the grid fins? I thought they were doing grid fins because that's easier, and if the ship is slightly rotated the pins would miss. But I've never seen any actual information on it. And the catch arms would need additional hardware to pick the ship off the grid fins and settle it on the pins to secure it.

I've thought about that but electron is too small for even one person. with a 700 lb payload capacity, even if you limit your astronauts to 100 lb short women, you only get 600 lbs for pressure vessel, life support, attitude control, and docking port. that's a hard ask.

you could make the capsule not store pressure. that adds risk and the need to dock to an airlock on the space station.
I've been coming at this from the perspective of using international docking system standard but if you really wanted to save weight you could design an new standard that is narrower gauge and has a built in airlock on the station side.

Anonymous No. 16389871

>>16389868(me)
you could also not have a docking port at all and force the station to birth the entire capsule into a large airlock to save even more mass. but I don't think that's in the spirit of the question so I'm not going to consider it.
let's say no birthing, the spacecraft has to be pressurized and be able to maneuver and dock itself.

How long can an MMU keep someone alive? If you've got some tethered life support during rendezvous then you only need to disconnect and maneuver over to the station yourself and go inside the airlock. If no berthing like you say then this probably won't work, what's a docking ring weigh anyway? It'd probably be the bulk of your 500lb spacecraft.

Seems the 55mil figure is out of date then. Either way it's still not economical for small stations unless they start putting up 7 at a time. 1-2 Station keepers. 2-4 government/nasa researchers and the rest could be space tourists.

Ideally we get a fully reusable medium lift specifically for crew and cargo. Hopefully stoke makes a 10-15ton rocket that can do 4-7 crew to orbit with just the price of fuel /refurb being the main factor in cost. That would allow for small space stations to live comfortably in orbit with ticket prices in the 100k range rather than 20 million

You are using shit flinging tactics to make anyone that criticizes your horrid behavior seem less reputable. I am not even the original anon which would be easy to tell if you checked the typing styles. Nobody likes or wants you here. You can samefag as many replies as you like to pretend like you won but any real /sfg/ regular can see you stick out like a sore thumb. You know I’m right but you refuse to admit it. You are acting like a manchild. You don’t have to keep rabidly defending yourself like this. We are all anonymous.

since 2015 and especially in 2016 /pol/ got fucking murdered by newfags from plebbit who never got bullied off this site afterwards, they're STILL here and they STILL think they belong, matter of fact they all think they're oldfags now. as a result i fucking spit on these cuntbags who think they deserve a lick of respect just because they have chuddy opinions, that's not good enough.

I haven’t been complaining about FAA hate since last thread, I put it on filter until it’s done since I don’t want to discuss it and honestly it’s worked out pretty well. You can discuss it I’m just not gonna look at it anymore and I feel like right now that’s for the better. I accept I was wrong in trying to silence it since so much of the recent news has been on it, I still hold my opinion though. Probably better for me to just filter it since it is on topic discussion so I haven’t been talking about that since then. Those are also not me, here’s proof.

If you ignored it and posted about rockets instead it would go away, but I'm guessing you can't actually participate in a discussion about rockets, can you?

Just ask me 50 years ago if venus has lava and you would have the right answer. instead you ask scientists who waste your money for 100s of years and then after trillions spent they say "we really cant know for sure but it seems to shit like a duck and eat bread crumbs like a duck...idk im agnostics!"

To the credit of planetary scientists there has only been limited data from limited missions around Venus. Everyone thought the evidence for volcanism would be extremely “in-our-face”. Instead, we’ve had trouble identifying active melt flows, tectonic activity, ash-induced lightning (or hard evidence of lightning of any kind whatsoever), etc.
But bear in mind what I said earlier—only limited data. It took a team of researchers dusting off what I believe was old Magellan data and re-analyzing it in fine detail to notice strange topological changes from different orbital passes to suggest active volcanic activity.
WE NEED MORE VENUS MISSIONS, VENUS IS ACTUALLY INTERESTING

Yeah the Magellan data was synthetic aperture radar data from a probe launched in 1989. Simply putting modern sensors and a camera on an LVO orbiter would be insanely useful.

The plan is to probably establish intranet spheres around the Moon and Mars eventually, once humans are there.
As for gatekeeping scientific data: that works for earth observation (i.e. MAXAR and stuff) but not really for other planetary bodies. The demand is purely scientific at that point, and people autistic enough to care will simply call you a paywall asshole and probably be smart enough to find a way to hack your data one way or another lol

So much has gone right with the Starship program but we’re still so so far from the end goal it’s unreal. These things need to be flying on the order of months/weeks; not once or twice a year
>inb4 it’s the FAA
>inb4 it’s a democrat political attacks against Musk
I don’t give a fuck and I don’t disagree, I’m just pointing out the fact that SS has a shitload of engineering hurdles it still needs to jump and it needs many more flights to sort them out. Hell there is probably at least 5-10 fundamental ship-killing problems that exist the tankage/plumbing/engines that they haven’t even considered as a failure mode yet just because they have a lack of flight data at the moment
