They can't physically cycle the pad for multiple launches in a day as it's currently configured. Not enough time. Also they would need a launch license for each individual flight, which would not occur.

>Eris is very dissipative—more so than should be the case for a body that’s frozen solid the whole way through. Eris must have melted significantly early in its evolution and must still host a warm convective ice interior (Fig. 1).
>A subsurface ocean, similar to that which has been proposed for Pluto (9), is not required by the model, but is one of the scenarios that is now a very plausible explanation for what’s lurking under Eris’s surface—a possible ocean world 90 times further from the Sun than the Earth is!
>An interior as dissipative as what Nimmo and Brown have inferred for Eris must be significantly different from Pluto’s interior. While both objects are likely differentiated, Eris’s outer ice shell must be convecting as opposed to Pluto’s conductive shell; these two worlds transport heat from their interior to their surfaces fundamentally differently.
>A warm interior also provides a neat explanation for one of Eris’s other few known properties. Eris’s convective ice shell might be too malleable to support large-scale topography, naturally explaining its low-amplitude light curve.

I just pulled those numbers out of my ass lmfao didn't expect people to actually believe it.
A quick Google search that links to some unrepeatable sources says that we could probably survive up to 1.5 G for a long period of time but with some chronic health issues.
If cryosleep/hypersleep ever becomes a reality then humans could probably survive for much longer in higher Gs since maintaining consciousness would no longer be an issue.
>>16398216
You would be able to adapt to higher Gs up to a certain point, there's a limit to how much your bones and muscles can strengthen to. Where that limit is, I dunno, but it's probably less than 3Gs.

Reminder that your local elected officials—republican, democrat, mayors, governors, representatives, senators l—literally don’t care about space and are asleep at the wheel and would only really care to let SpaceX proceed unhindered if someone like China randomly landed on the Moon and scared them.
I guarantee you maybe only 3, 4, 5 people TOTAL in the entirety of congress know what Long March 9 is, what LM10 is, what MSR is, that Chinks are trying it to. They think Starship and Branson’s plane are the same thing, a folly project of billionaires.
If you’re mad that SpaceX isn’t receiving political favors it’s because any care for SpaceX is skin deep and the only thing that matter (to the people with authority and control of the purse) either see him as le bad twitter man or le based trump man and this is as deep as the conversation about SX goes in their head.

is BEYOND RETARDED. Half the political sphere of our modern world are globalists who will not just let you “go to mars” on a whim
Is his current politicking annoying? Yes!!! But doing nothing is worse for the mars project so too bad so sad; you either play the game or you get thrown off the board as a useless pawn and SX understands this

Legal issues. SpaceX is considered part of the defense industry which limits their operations outside of the US and their hiring on non-US nationals. The DoD would throw a hissy fit if it turns out some irrelevant fucking island country got rocketry tech even if they didn't have the economy to build a cardboard model rocket.

look at all the missions we've done to Mercury so far, all have needed multiple planetary flybys to bleed delta-v to get down the gravity well, which adds multiple years to the mission. Plus we can't use aerobraking at the end. And then a manned mission would have to climb all the way back out of the Sun's gravity well to get back home to Earth. It's just hugely expensive compared to other destinations.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/image-released-of-mysterious-object-shot-down-over-yukon-in-2023-1.7049241

>An image of the unidentified object shot down over Canada's Yukon territory in February 2023 has been obtained by CTVNews.ca.

>Released through a Canadian freedom of information request, the grainy image appears to be a photocopy of an email printout.

>Heavily redacted documents show how the image was approved for public distribution within days of the headline-grabbing incident, but then held back after a public affairs official expressed concerns that releasing it "may create more questions/confusion."

>A U.S. F-22 fighter jet shot down the object on Feb. 11, 2023, shortly after it entered Canadian airspace in the Yukon territory, which borders Alaska. It was one of three unidentified aerial objects(opens in a new tab) blasted out of the sky that month following the high-profile Feb. 4, 2023 downing of an apparent Chinese surveillance balloon(opens in a new tab). Shot down over Alaska, Yukon and Lake Huron between Feb. 10 and 12, 2023, the three objects were reportedly much smaller than the towering Chinese balloon.

>NASA and SpaceX prepare for impact of Florida Hurricane Helene on Cape Canaveral


With Hurricane Helene approaching Florida's Gulf Coast, NASA and SpaceX are preparing for potential impacts on the Space Coast.

While Brevard will not be in the direct path of the storm, strong winds, heavy rain, and threats of tornado activity are expected to impact the area. Expected to make landfall late Thursday, Hurricane Helene is a big storm whose outer bands will reach across the state

Wednesday afternoon, the Brevard County EOC said it would enter Level 2 activation Thursday. That's the middle level prioritizing personnel to react to weather emergencies.


With the Crew-9 launch already moved to Saturday, SpaceX stated on X (formerly Twitter), that they would move the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft − which were standing upright on SLC-40 Wednesday morning − back to the hanger this evening.

The Space Force is not currently planning any closures, yet conditions are being monitored.


NASA has entered HURRICON IV status, which means 50-knot (58 MPH) sustained winds are anticipated. During HURRICON IV, NASA follows government issued checklists which ensure all equipment, property, and personnel are prepared.

"Teams with Kennedy’s Exploration Ground Systems Program are ensuring the safety of personnel and flight hardware and have begun preparations ahead of the potential impacts of the approaching weather system," she said. "This includes walkdowns at areas where hardware and ground support equipment are located, including inside facilities as well as at Launch Pad 39B, and storage and/or removal of any items that could become debris. Teams will continue to operate based on the center’s guidance."

It's probably not too expensive at first, the marginal cost to them is basically zero. The real key is getting into the market, once they're in the market everyone has to pay for Starlink, nobody is going to take long-haul flights with no internet or shit internet. It also means airlines can and probably will in the future get rid of inflight films, which probably aren't cheap either. Flights are a totally captured market once they're in, there is zero alternative to Starlink.

Like they're gonna tell us that?
Every private company negotiates their own deal. Apparently there are no data caps, SpaceX is expecting to expand capacity MASSIVELY once Starship is able. These early contracts are probably price gougers, hopefully long term lock-ins, because data is about to become cheaper than ever.
Being first to offer it is huge, and every major airline is now kinda forced to sign up, or be shunned by passengers. I would expect this to even make some airlines fail because of it.

There genuinely will not. Who is going to do it? Blue Origin? Everyone else is going to get absolutely slaughtered on launch costs. How are you going to compete with SpaceX when they can offer better service for less? The problem is that internet is totally fungible, I don't care at all who is routing my packets. If two people are selling internet, one at 50Mb/s for $10, and one at 60Mb/s for $9.50, the one at ten dollars will have ZERO customers, even though it's most of the way there. For someone to compete with SpaceX they have to build a better launch vehicle, better satellites, and be able to provide a faster cheaper service. It's not going to happen. Starlink has relatively high switching costs too, I can't imagine it's cheap to install those antennas.

The problem for BO is that they can't "compete" in this market, 99% of the way there is the same as 10%, they have to somehow develop better satellites, a better cheaper launch vehicle, better ground infrastructure, and leapfrog SpaceX's already substantial lead. I just can't see it happening. I understand that New Glenn looks pretty good on paper, but close doesn't count here. If Starship starts missing key milestones and New Glenn actually ends up working perfectly, and it's somehow cheap, and BO rolls out something better than their current lackluster sats, then SpaceX should be pretty worried.

well yeah kuiper is shit compared to starlink, but starship is missing and has been missing key milestones for years. at this point its obvious that if it ever fufils the dream of fully and rapidly reusable while being cost effective then that will only come after years more hard work. optimistically half a decade more. pessimistically never. It wouldnt be quite as bad as space shuttle in the pessemistic case because at least it can fly unmanned to carry high risk interplanetary payloads, but it could easily end up like shuttle in other regards. Shuttle was sold on the exact same promise as starship.

I thought the hate on the FAA recently was a bit unfair, considering it was SpaceX's own fault that they didn't apply for a new licence until the last minute instead of applying ahead of time. But this tweet here is just wrong, why is the FAA demanding licence for modifying a TEST model? An operational model I can understand needing to review any modifications, but this is just for testing, which would go through many modifications.

>>16399061
The FAA shouldn't review vehicle modifications at all if no humans are aboard and the modifications fall within broad established boundaries. Do I need a new hunting license if I decide to get a different gun? I don't, however there are restrictions on the sorts of guns that can be used for different types of hunting. The FAA's only concern should be ensuring the rocket does not collide with an aircraft or harm people on the ground which is easily accompished with a TFR and launch exclusion zone.

That's how it's been so far though, each new flight has required vehicle and operational modifications to be reviewed. It's a test flight yes but that just means changes have potentially even more likelihood to affect behaviour so you want to review that carefully. The TPS thing is a bit silly but it's probably just a standard response to cover their bases, I doubt TPS changes make much of a difference at this point especially with reentry over the ocean so it probably amounts to "You changed it? Any expected differences in how it holds up? Alright fine, approved, next change". I think a lot of these nitpicky issues are coming up because visibility on this issue is rising so they want to make sure they leave no avenue for "you didn't properly check this minute change" enviro seethesuits.

>>16399079
The long pole now are the environmental reviews and those could've started their up to 60 days runtime a lot earlier if the modification request had come in before mid-August. At that point the safety review might've ended up the long pole. Elon said next flight would attempt a catch immediately after IFT-4 so they had enough time to submit the changes earlier.

Anonymous at Thu, 26 Sep 2024 19:13:08 UTC No. 16399088

>>16399086
okay, lets say the make a request very early
what if they want to modify the vehicle a bit more? send the request again which resets the timer again?
so SpaceX basically has only a small amount of time to do engineering before they need to send a new request, and then fuck around waiting for months to actually test these things
the optimal action here might not be to send the request as early as possible if its expected that the modifications are iterated for some time until a good enough solution is reached if it takes months every time anyway
if the engineering solution actually works during the test, then that is much better than modifying and testing it again due to this months long wait time between every iteration (assuming the modifications, engineering etc would not take any time at all, of course they take time as well which probably increases the optimal amount of time to use on the mods as well)

>>16399088
Presumably they know what they're going to do with the next flight article for a while before it's done, so that's the point to submit the changes. But in case of the environmental reviews that are at issue here both things are related to trajectory, which probably could've been planned shortly after IFT-4 and then submitted. SpaceX knows from the past IFTs that these changes trigger reviews and inter-agency consultations with the 60 day thing so they should expect it and try to get it in as early as doable to avoid delays due to it, in this case I think they could easily have done it earlier.

>>16399091
Only to a point I think, and anyways for prior IFTs these consultations usually didn't use all of that time, so it's decently likely that that'll be the case here, too (but the FAA expecting November probably means it'll take till then even if the consultations are done earlier).

>>16399094
>The FAA isn't qualified to make such a determination.
I think the intent of AST is to be, but yes from what I heard it's rather SpaceX presenting the rationale for why it doesn't affect safety and the FAA signing off on it if it makes sense to them.
>Why is that a problem?
They're already being sued over approving Starbase and with Musk painting an ever bigger target on their backs they're going to want all their ducks in a row. It's as much self-preservation as avoiding unnecessary further delays (and if they do it right it protects SpaceX, too, because if lawsuits come and all is done to the letter they can just tell them to fuck off and show the proof).

Orion is actually pretty cool, I just wish it wasn’t $1 billion per launch. Unacceptable. That cost puts it on the chopping block when it comes time to cut the fat because Artemis is too expensive with nothing to show for it. Sooner or later there WILL be commercial means to get NASA astronauts to the lunar surface. Maybe if Orion was $200, $250 mil per launch it would be worth keeping. But not $1 billion… sorry you’re outta here

It's another episode in federal agencies doing everything in their power to screw over Musk. But really this is decades of power consolidation into the bureaucracy stretching its muscles:
>Step 1: impose substantial, highly onerous regulations
>Step 2: cooperate with "preferred corporate partners" whose lobbyists treat you to expensive dinners (at minimum) in exchange for actually being able to do shit
>Step 3: enforce the letter of the ""law"" against any company/citizen who refuses to play ball
>Step 4: if (3) doesn't work, simply make as many frivolous allegations as possible, imposing ""civil fines"" without any external finding of guilt
>Step 5: drag your feet to slow any appeals process so that by the time it's resolved you are ready to start again at step 3
The good news is that the Supreme Court is finally sick of this shit and has imposed serious barriers to steps (1) and (4) by overturning Chevron (i.e. ruling that Congress makes laws) and holding that the SEC couldn't issue fines without a jury trial (i.e. upholding the 7th Amendment)

don't forget their employees rolling up to spacex facilities and jeering at spacexers in the early days.
no, all these oldspace fucks are just pussies who can't be sincere and use the "w-we're all teamspace" motto whenever their motives, decisionmaking and business practices are questioned, but behind the scenes these people are fucking SEETHING excessively because al lot of these people are still in pseudo-denial about reusability outcompeting them.
if you pay attention you'll notice oldspace fags always subtly try to imply that falcon 9 reusability hasn't been "proven" to be cheaper in breathless terms, A.K.A a lot of them believe spacex outcompeting the fuck out of them is conspiracy and govt collusion on spacex's part rather than incompetence and complacency on theirs. you saw it recently again with arianespace with their comments on spacex.

that's mostly the more sideline EDS crowd doing that in my experience.
their derangement syndrome forces them to disown spacex and by extension musk of any difficult achievements, so anything that was impossible and spacex would never accomplish and they should just stop trying is now easy and oh oh actually actually someone else did this vaguely arbitrarily similar thing before so it's not impressive at all see?
watch for the orbital propellant tranfer demo and how these people will act afterwards, for about 5 straight years we've been hearing nonstop from midwits with a chip on their shoulder that it's impossible or will take years to solve and then spacex will just do it and suddenly it'll be like they never said anything and spacex shouldn't be boasting about such a modest accomplishment.
you really can't win with toddlers like this who's modus operandi would literally collapse if they admitted that they were wrong and their worldview was upside down.

The second you open that tin, oily fish-smelling particles spray everywhere and get onto everything. Being oil it won't dry, it just stays oily. Now they HAVE to deorbit ISS.

iss should get turned into an aquarium when it's deemed unsafe for humans. shit would be hilarious. ideally they would have the internal volume taken up 50% by air and 50% by water so fish would swim into air pockets and flail around until they drifted into a water pocket again. would be very interesting seeing if they could adapt.

ISS should have always had a monkey in a cage too. He should have been put up there in initial construction and still there now causing a ruckus and screaming. it would have been a great test of long term effects of zero g

On-going cracks and air leaks in the Service Module Transfer Tunnel are a top safety risk; and NASA and Roscosmos are collaborating to investigate and mitigate the cracks and leaks, determine the root cause, and monitor the Station for new leaks. However, in April 2024 NASA identified an increase in the leak rate to its highest level to date.

Virtually all helicopters use rotors, not propellers. Those that use propellers are weird and rare exceptions.

>>16399485
It's not a "linguistic difference", nobody calls a helicopter rotor a propeller, because it isn't one.

Reminder, FAA is delaying SpaceX due to legal technicalities rather than following the intent/spirit of the legal procedures.

Anyone that is honest and forthgoing would find no issue with SpaceX's Flight 5 plans. Instead they are holding SpaceX hostage due to politics

They both use propeller to convey the concept to readers who may not be familiar with rotor, which is also why Berger used propeller in his book.
