Elon :
SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years.

If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges, then the crewed missions will be postponed another two years.

It is only possible to travel from Earth to Mars every two years, when the planets are aligned. This increases the difficulty of the task, but also serves to immunize Mars from many catastrophic events on Earth.

No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity. We want to enable anyone who wants to be a space traveler to go to Mars! That means you or your family or friends – anyone who dreams of great adventure.

Eventually, there will be thousands of Starships going to Mars and it will a glorious sight to see! Can you imagine? Wow.

The fundamental existential question is whether humanity becomes sustainably multiplanetary before something happens on Earth to prevent that, for example nuclear war, a supervirus or population collapse that weakens civilization to the point where it loses the ability to send supply ships to Mars.

One of my biggest concerns right now is that the Starship program is being smothered by a mountain of government bureaucracy that grows every year. This stifling red tape is affecting all large projects in America, which is why, for example, California has spent ~$7 billion dollars and several years on high-speed rail, but only has a 1600 ft section of concrete to show for it!

While I have many concerns about a potential Kamala regime, my absolute showstopper is that the bureaucracy currently choking America to death is guaranteed to grow under a Democratic Party administration. This would destroy the Mars program and doom humanity.

It cannot happen. Your help would be much appreciated. This is a fork, maybe the fork, in the road of human destiny.

I just had one of those thoughts. Have we reached the point where, barring the realization of human immortality, our species is functionally at a dead end due to the nature of many hypothetical projects taking generations to accomplish where they'll be dropped for either political convenience or a lack of interest by a successor within an organization, or because some fundamental skill was lost and it's deemed that the cost of carrying forward isn't worth the effort to have the project be a success? NASA now reminds me more of SETI than it stands as some great beacon of hope for the future that it once did. The ability to care about anything is difficult when it takes 20 years to do some very basic experiment that gives a modicum of usable data. Nobody cares about that because of time scale.

I believe him when he says each launch campaign will be exponential. I don’t think 5 SS to mars is enough, they’re all going to fail. And even if they are successful I still don’t see humans being fast-tracked to go there unless there are hundreds of Starlink SS launches to iron out problems on Starship.
8 years bit maybe, 6 years ehhhh but only if 45 wins and Elon can suddenly launch once a month and really get the ball rolling, FUCK NO to humans on mars in 2-4 years

An anon in the prior thread was asking what’s important to study to make a career in space stuff. Here’s my answer. Anyone have any other insights?
Obviously the technical stuff is important-- that should be your primary focus.

Something a lot of academia will overlook is learning how some projects succeed and others fail. There are a lot of examples of brilliant scientists/engineers doing cool stuff but the 'missing piece' never materializes to operationalize their innovations, so all their hard work is wasted (or rediscovered a long time later). A few business courses would be wise, maybe even a business minor (take at least these courses: accounting, finance, management, marketing, maybe game theory [although at my university it was a 400 level econ class with tons of prerequisites, you can often email the prof and audit it for free with no credit/grade rewarded, or just read their textbooks such as Games of Strategy by Dixit & Skeath]). With these skills, you can make informed decisions on teams/projects to join that have a higher probability of success. Also, in most companies there's a career track for individual contributors (ICs) and a career track for managers. You might be a better manager of other ICs than an IC yourself, and the business stuff matters a LOT for managers. Good ICs are nice to have, but a great manager can have a disproportionally large impact on the likelihood of success. (and consequently bad managers [like Bob Smith at Blue Origin] can squander mountains of talent-- BO and SpaceX have roughly the same number of employees--and many BO employees are even SpaceX alums!)

I'd also read some books/blogs on startups/space industry: The Lean Startup by Ries, Zero to One by Thiel, Casey Handmer's blog, Liftoff by Berger, Stratechery etc.

Cards Against Humanity claimed that Musk had destroyed land owned by the company along the US-Mexico border that it bought in 2017 to thwart then-acting President Donald Trump’s border wall. Cards Against Humanity was suing Musk for $15 million. The company announced the lawsuit on Twitter / X and launched a website called elonowesyou100dollars.com that outlined the feud and upcoming legal action. Many users on X reacted to the news with memes and posts that championed Cards Against Humanity. Others criticized the company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_for_Space_Exploration
It sought, among other things, to develop Orion by 2008, to conduct a manned trip with it in 2014, going back to the Moon (and even with plans to the far side!!) and eventually to Mars. Always the same lofty goals. Do you want to know how it went? Anyways, a few years later it was replaced by Obama's plans in the next presidential term. By the general public's logic, NASA lied. In fact, can't stop lying and breaking promises over and over again.

To NASA’s credit they simply throw out ideas (typically in the form of viability studies) but are simply told what to do by Congress. Kind of a retarded system, especially when NASA can be told to do X, devote years and billions of dollars to it, only for Congress to say no no no we are canceling X we are now doing Y. NASA also has a “use it or lose it” style of funding so they can’t just save up money and make their own independent choices and spend money on things they want to do

How about the russkies? In February of 2004 the deputy director of Roscosmos announced to the public the Kliper project. This vehicle was supposed to be part of a modular system that, as part of a bigger spacecraft, enabled it to go to the Moon and even to Mars. RSC Energia's plans for their interplanetary spacecraft included a vast solar array that dwarfed the habitable module at the center. There were already proposals for Russia to reach the Moon in September of 2005!!! Of course, none of this ever happened, but hey, a couple of years ago in 2022 they promised a gigantic never-seen-before nuclear tug, first of its kind, that could take a crew to Mar- never mind, already cancelled.

I am once again preaching to the choir here but literally HOW can you have EDS like thunderf00t/CSS/etc and think this is all some sort of “scam” when they are almost literally pulling tricks out of a magic hat with material design? And these aren’t just investorbait powerpoint things. They have made Raptors that push the envelope of low cost and high performance. They have shown you can just weld tanks. Flight 4 was an insane success, especially impressive when you consider the absolute joke that was Mk1 Starship and how fast they have advanced since then. These tanks hold insane pressures, raptor safely contains immense chamber pressures and outputs unbelievable thrust all at a low cost. It’s not just impressive it’s undeniably game-changing

Some people at JPL looked over the problem and what they concluded was that the absolute best we could do with modern tech was a 24 hour mission lifespan. We've got better thermal insulation tech than the Soviet's did but even that can only keep electronics functional for so long when you drop them into an environment as hot as Venus. Teams trying to plan longer term missions either have a big hole in their outlines labeled "develop groundbreaking new technology" or are trying to design rovers that run on clockwork instead of electronics.

In fact, roscosmos is such an embarrassment that in their 35-ish years of existence, as far as I remember they've only had only 1 single successful mission on their own beyond GEO, the Spektr-R teslescope, which was in a highly-elliptical Earth orbit. The other 2 were collaborations with Germany (Spektr-RG) and ESA (ExoMars). Seriously, can't find anything else, I thought there were at least 2, even remember having commented about it in this general some years ago, but can't find it now.

https://www.romania-insider.com/romanian-in-conflict-with-italian-space-agency-over-failed-mars-mission
>ARCA Space Corporation, a company registered in New Mexico, U.S., founded by young Romanian entrepreneur Dumitru Popescu, was recently accused by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) of being responsible for the crash of the Schiaparelli module
>According to ASI, ESA awarded ARCA the contract to test the flight and entry into atmosphere of the module, which was worth EUR 1.1 million. ARCA, however, ran into a series of problems and cancelled the tests ASI told Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
>ARCA issued an official statement denying ASI’s allegations. The company says that it was only in charge of testing the parachute used for Schiaparelli’s landing on Mars, which worked fine, according to the ESA's preliminary investigation results. According to ESA, it was the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that didn’t work properly; ARCA claims that an Italian company was in charge of testing the Inertial Measurement Unit.
>ARCA said it would initiate the necessary actions to have Enrico Flamini, the leader of ASI’s scientific team, “support the costs of the statements that have generated a press campaign against ARCA”.

Dormant, or potentially active extremophiles may be discovered that could reproduce asexually in habitat areas or host and produce unforeseen byproducts.

I hate how we need gay still-in-development technologies like fusion, metallic hydrogen, or antimatter to get some of the best feasible specific impulse propulsion.
I wish we could just get everywhere in a reasonable timespan using chemical and nuclear (fission) rockets. Or that some of the schizodrives like the QI drive or EM drive were real. I don't want to wait another 40 years (or probably more like 80 lol) until scalable net-positive fusion is discovered/invented before we can finally get the technology to colonize the outer solar system or even start interstellar travel.

Doesn't mean they can overcome our immune system, which they have no reason to have evolved such capability. Nor their ability to multiply inside human body, again something they have no reason to evolve.
>asexual reproduction doesn't really need that much evolutionary pressure
No reason to believe they have evolved to multiply effectively or even survive in 1 atm, 20% oxygen, 20 degrees environment. You seemed to have forgot that Martian microbes, if exist, are evolved to survive and multiply better on Mars, not Earth.
>you seem to be assuming a lot about Martian ecology back when it had an atmosphere
On the contrary, you are assuming that Martian microbes would somehow evolve the ability to take advantage of humans and Earth like environment despite they have no evolutionary pressure to evolve such capabilities. You are assuming Martian microbes would randomly evolve such a set of capabilities despite the almost infinite number of alternatives, some of which would let them multiply better on Mars.

Preach nigga, it's like building a frontier railroad but in space. In fact the circumstances are almost identical. Work gangs have to work ahead of the infrastructure on slow travel times with expensive upfront and ongoing supply costs, just like the railroads. Once the road is established it slices travel time into a small fraction of its previous times and also eliminates stupid waiting for orbital transfer windows (very cool). Increases payload while cutting costs massively. A wise man would invest in optics companies, solar power companies, silicon ingot production companies. Imagine you invested in iron and steelworks just before the american railroad fevwr kicked off. $$$$$$$$$#$. Unfortunately this means the "we don't need roads where we're going" thing doesn't work out which makes me sad.

I support Martian colonization but I should say that Mars’s atmosphere may as well be a total vacuum compare to Earth’s at less than 1% thickness, it doesn’t even reach the Armstrong limit.
Also there’s ice on the Moon, and if that’s not enough, it takes slightly less dV with a lot quicker travel time and no biyearly transfer window to move water to the moon.
SpaceX is just moving forwards with Mars colonization first because Starship is overkill for landing on the Moon and is designed to aerobrake in what little atmosphere Mars has to get free dV for touchdown. Plus NASA and the ESA are supposed to be working on Moon colonization and SpaceX wouldn’t want to steal their thunder ;)

So I was watching videos about the early industrial revolution and learned that water>steam has an expansion ratio of 1700, I did a double take because isn't vac raptor only like 200? Does this have to do with the bell shape? You don't get that expansion ration just from high pressure steam right?

I don't mean for walking around in, I mean as a resource.
You can compress it, pass it through a plasma cracker, and get oxygen for very little effort, venting the carbon monoxide outside. You don't have to electrolyze regolith or be ultra-careful to recycle all your breathing gas.
>Also there’s ice on the Moon
Amount unknown, and if it's there it's in a few limited locations in an inconvenient form. On Mars you just use a shovel.

the expansion rate depends on the initial and final pressures, its not some fixed metric
if you had a hollow sphere the size of the earth that had perfect vacuum in it, you could release a single molecule in there and in principle the "expansion ratio" would be the volume of earth divided by the volume of that molecule (or the smallest container you could put the molecule in, in principle it could be the size of the molecule)

earths diameter is 12,742 km
the atomic diameter of He is 62 picometers
the expansion ratio would be 2.1 *10E17 or 21 quadrillion

I see this posted again and again in this general but almost every published paper on Martian terraforming claims that we will need one for long-term terraforming.
I know it will take a very long time for Mars's atmosphere to get blown away again if it were replenished but a magnetosphere also provides radiation protection to those living on the surface, and there's always the possibility of freak solar weather.

There is an interesting possibility to make a Mars colony virus-free. Theoretically every single immigrant could be screened for viruses and what ever viruses manage to get in should quickly go extinct in the small population. It could take hundreds of years for new viruses to evolve. At the same time the Mars colony eill be extremely vulnerable just like the
native Americans were. A native Marsian might not be able to return to earth

IMO composite tanks (either cryogenic tanks for liquids or composite casings for SRBs) generally make sense for small upper stages of small launchers, because when you work at such a small size, the 30% or so tank mass gain really matter for the stage's mass ratio and payload. I'm not convinced for lower stages.

they might honestly have deluded themselves into thinking starship was never gonna work before flight 4, but that's no longer the case and they're very very afraid.

There's no reason to believe Avio's timelines since they have never met them.

From what I understand, they got M300€ back in 2022 to develop grasshoppers and a 60t thrust Open Expander methalox engine, the current plan is

>2025: ~7-8tf thrust DC-X like methalox grasshopper to fly a few/several km, with restarta capability (like the recent landspace test, but smaller)
>2026: ~20-25tf thrust VTVL vehicle that will demonstrate a typical launch profile with reentry burn, landing burn, with a S2 demontrator for Vega E
>late 2020s: Small RLV derived from their IFD with probably <1t payload using their 60t engine (60-120tf)
>early 2030s: Medium-lift RLV

Unambitious, yet they won't even keep that timeline, but there's also no reason to hate it unless you're italian, since it's entirely funded by italian taxpayer's money, and that funding would never have left italy, and there's a serious italian alternative to Avio.

It's a strange disconnect almost as Falcon was already rather successful at the time. The explanation may be that most EDS sufferers simply don't follow rocket development closely and didn't fully appreciate the significance of Falcon let alone what Starship would mean.
>they're very very afraid
ULA/Arianespace are afraid as they should be. It's the random EDS sufferers that are puzzling as they don't seem to realize the thing that they're afraid of is a charicature of a man that only exists in their head as a series of twitter posts.

The average EDS sufferer is not aware of anything in spaceflight whatsoever. You get people posting on twitter about how spacex has never flown a single successful mission. When they say it's a "vanity project", or "billionaire toys" they mean it literally, a lot of them are not aware spacex has flown anything to space.

xkcd being as cringe as it is, people need to remember this comic when talking about spaceflight. The average normie thinks the shuttle is still flying and they think it goes to the moon.

landed softly, tipped over because it;s in the water, explodes because the top of the booster just made a 70 meter drop into the ocean at full speed.
i fell trees for a living and there's a lot of momentum going into things that tall tipping over, big trees, often need some cushioning in the place you're going to aim them because the fall could shatter the wood's structure and ruin it's value. a hollow tank like the booster would obviously rupture easily even on contact with water at those speed.

I was anti shuttle by then but my first memories of spaceflight were my dad telling me about what happened to Challenger and the names of the other orbiters and how Endeavor came to be as a result of that. Then sometime later listening to an AM radio broadcast of Discovery launching while we were driving and him explaining the throttle back for max-Q and then hearing the callout for throttle up. It seemed really awesome and stuck with me more than any launch I ever watched on TV for some reason but then again it was the only game in town at the time. Also memories of him explaining how insanely expensive it was and why the turnaround times were so slow which was why we only got a few launches per year.

bill nelson understands the score, he knows oldspace is unsalvageable at this point even if he was once a champion of it, he knows spacex is the future and he knows all the people who tried to fight spacex's mars ambitions after they succeed will be forever seen as pariah's in history.
he might be a snake but he made his strategic side switch at the right time, without being too obvious about it, in a way i sort of admire that.

I don't think the colony would actually succeed with that very long, but in the mean time SpaceX would be making access to space very cheap which is good (assuming this DEI shit didn't affect SpaceX too and thus make it less effective as an organization)
so in a sense this isn't really compatible with what SpaceX is now, it and all Musks companies are very big on merit
so this pushing of a degen left ideology would have to be separated from the running of the companies in actual fact and I think would have to be separated from starting a colony too

no, because if he was pushing far left ideology i wouldn't have to worry about his companies succeeding, they succeed the because they hire on merit, unlike many of their competitors today, with that merit and their cultural drive for colonization instead replaced with white guilt and DEI hires, i don't think they would've even gotten falcon 9 re-use working.

If Elon supported far-left policies then he wouldn't be a billionaire entrepreneur.

Although I don't think Elon is actually as based as a lot of posters here claim he is. I still like him but someone who was genuinely racist like EDS sufferers try to make him out to be probably wouldn't be giving internet to every brown and black third-worlder for dirt cheap. Also he hires a lot of pajeets and is pro-Israel.
If he really was capitalist von Braun then he would be putting Rods From Gods into orbit above shithole countries instead of Starlink and would be more open to Ukrainians enacting TZD with Starlink.
