Musk said they need like two consecutive successful soft water landings before catch testing of Starship, I'm not sure IFT-4 counts as successful (it was like 6km off course, which is pretty good but I would'nt say 100% successful)
I don't think it would be impossible they test ship landing with IFT-6, but I doubt it
they might skip to Starship v2 directly, do the booster landing again and iterating on it (regardless if it works, there will still probably be plenty of stuff they can improve on), just try to do a water landing with V2 again to see how the new flap placement and so on works (so basically doing IFT-5 again but with the new ship)
IFT-7 might be a ship landing test or another IFT-6 copy so they have the two consecutive successful water landings with a ship, then IFT-8 with ship catch
this is assuming that reusing the booster and ship remains top priority
if reusing the ship is lower priority and reusing the booster is the high priority due to the loss of 33 engines each time, then IFT-6 might test the stuff they tried on IFT-3 (in space relight of an engine, testing a payload door), then IFT-7 starlink deployment if the door works? simultaneously test starship water landings and booster catch of course

Does anyone else has some hidden desire for a space launch with astronauts that fails lethally? I don't want the astronauts to die and I obviously don't want the added regulatory hurdles and delays that would come for SpaceX but there is something in my brain that desires that it will happen and that I will witness it, I mostly have that before a manned launch.

you're retarded and didn't read my post.
most other launch providers you'll hear a certain amount of tenseness in the countdown voice (unless you're autistic in which case you might not notice people's tones).
this guy's voice sounded positively bored and a playful pitch instead, which is unusual and i haven't heard that before.
but it makes sense with spacex since these guys perform launches so often compared to anyone else on earth, they're probably the most well-trained ground control team in history.

I don't get the hate for comparing objects to a more common object to better visualize size.
This really isn't a metric vs imperial thing. It's just a realization most people don't work with measurements on a daily basis, so it's just easier to make a comparison rather than give a number.

Flights to the station take a northerly trajectory out of the cape that has Dragon passing near Ireland after it crosses the Atlantic. Emergency rescue craft have a limited range and in the event of an accident you'd like to come down as close to help as you can. The shuttle had a few similar plans for transatlantic aborts that would aim for runways in Morocco, Spain, or France if something fucked up within a very specific window.

I think I would be fine with that if they didn't very clearly intend to have the livery go over those sections then change it last minute. makes it look half assed. I think my main gripe is the blue section directly into copper tones. ditch that (or all the paint really, it would look great as raw aluminum) and it goes back to being cohesive and cool.

yeah i have a co-worker like that, faggot thinks colonizing space is heretical because "god gave us the earth" which i guess he somehow interprets as not being allowed to colonize other places.
when i pressed him on the fact that it states nowhere in the bible specifically that you cannot live on another world as well, he just sort of stuttered awkwardly and shut down the conversation.

Perhaps the FAA corruption is worse than that; is the biden regime upset that musk isnt censoring enough people or shadowbanning on demand?
Could it be even more horrific: The government fears that many decades down the line, musk and co might make a self sufficient mars civilization which cedes from US control, and want to take over control of spaceX to prevent that eventuality?
I'd say yes to all.

It is impressive that this new suit has demonstrated mobility that is at least equal to that of the US's AxEMU, which by all accounts was the most advanced planetary EVA suit yet designed. Most of the differences seem to be superficial, like the arrangement of the DCM and the dimensions of the PLSS. We have no reason to assume that it cannot operate at zero-prebreathe pressures, especially if its a copy of the Z-2.5/AxEMU (which by all means it likely is).

Yep, just hide the failures and setbacks.
They are NOT wealthy, and NOT hardware rich.
Loss of the first engine was a huge setback, their manufacture and design are insufficient. And they continue to hide major schedule and budget roadblocks to illegally pump the stock, lie to the parties that signed launch contracts, when they are in a major demoralizing slump.

As you can see in >>16401523 and >>16401527, the EPG of the AxEMU does not have the sort of pleated knees/elbows as were present on the demonstration (black) mockup. Flat pattern (using gores) construction eliminates most of the recesses that dust could get trapped within. Regardless, it'll hardly make a difference, as that shitty lunar regolith is going to be clinging to the EPG just as much as always.

The atmosphere of Earth is only really visible for the first ~15 kilometers or something like that. After that, the sky starts looking very black because of how thin the air is. At over 12700 kilometers wide, the visible atmosphere's extent over the surface is 0.12% of its diameter, and is much less than one pixel in this frame.

A modern camera can be made cheap, with minimal mass (I presume, at least). Super gay to omit it, even if this is just a self-funded demo mission made as a passion project by a few researchers for cheap.
Look at NASA’s Galileo. Neither the craft nor the entry probe carried a camera, and now nobody talks about that mission. Because there’s almost no public science benefit if they can’t see interesting photos.
Juno almost went the same route, thank GOD someone decided a camera was a good idea for public outreach!!

The issue is that they're not probably happening any soon due to:

What was the point of your dad leaving your dick in your mom long enough to conceive you? It was the first probe to orbit an outer planet and refined a lot of data on the planet and its moons the Voyagers could only get a snapshot of in flybys. In addition to a probe that gave vital insight into Jupiter's atmospheric composition.
In other words, it was building on past exploration and insights to lead the way into new exploration and insights. The reason you launch probes in the first place, numbnuts.

Zubrin's entire career was spent on a plan that worked around constraints of launch. Launch has been solved, so Zubrin's new problem to solve is how to make enough constraints for his plan to even be needed. Weird and ironic. A 30yo Zubrin would undoubtedly be ecstatic about recent developments, but he's now old and the elderly can't adapt.

To say he is a scammer and fraud has been proven wrong time and again.

USA wins by removing red tape from SpaceX and allowing Starship to really spread its wings. But alas, our country is in civilization suicide right now and the globohomo bureaucrats in charge would rather hinder our entire spaceflight sector for personal reasons rather than see us flourish and kick China right in the balls and curbstomp them deep into Earth (which we are more than capable of doing, if we only had no self-imposed hinderances)

Too hard to estimate either at this point honestly lol. At least the US has SLS. China still needs to bring LM10 online. And what’s more, Mengzhou (capsule) and Lanyue (lander) need to be constructed and likely tested (unless they want to ‘do it live’ and risk astronauts)
I personally believe Lanyue is going to be a HUGE limiting factor. CMSA claims parts are being made for it now, but this has been a vague statement. Even chinamen are skeptical of this claim. It’s in the same vein as “Long March 9 parts are being fabricated,” despite the design still being in flux. And as of right now, Lanyue still has minimal design factors. i.e. it needs to ditch its kick stage close to the lunar surface and can only support missions up to six hours. This makes me believe they are working with really, really tight margins here and when LM10 inevitably lifts way less than they hoped for, then the lander will need further redesigns.
So count china out for a long time.
But also count USA out because Orion has heat shield safety issues likely limiting it to 2026 or 27. And NASA had the bright idea of offloading pretty much every other critical component to Artemis (suits, surface hardware construction, lunar network relays, etc) to new business with sketchy funding sources. We might not even have space suits ready even if they decide to fly Artemis II anyways and get Artemis III landed “before the decade is out”. USA can do it by 2029 but everyone needs to kick it into high gear and Congress needs to throw out some ludicrous life boat contracts with lots of $$$

Honestly as edgy as it sounds… who cares. I’m serious. I get that regulation is important (to a degree) and that you can’t be “above the law” and just allow one company to do whatever it wants. But spaceflight is such a niche sector and SX has shown they can be pretty self-regulating. As long as there is some sort of check-&-balance system to ensure they don’t ACTUALLY endanger human cities with debris or explosions, let SpaceX do whatever they want, whenever they want. Same with blue origin, same with firefly, same with rocket lab, etc. etc.
The whole FAA oversight was great when rockets were just Delta IIs and Falcon 1s and Falcon 9s every few months. Now the candace has truly gone exponential and the FAA/NTSB can clog up the system with bureaucracy and paper filing and formalities. Spaceflight needs its own regulating entity and these companies need to be able to semi-self-regulate (within reason) and fly

The "regulations" that FAA is using against SpaceX are not "the law", because they were not passed as such by Congress (aka elected representatives). If it is entirely made up by bureaucrats without ever being passed by elected representatives, it's not The Law.
That's the point of the Chevron ruling.

not really, spacex will likely use the same maneuver that they do with falcon 9 where it's set on a trajectory just short of land until the landing burn starts up and corrects it's flight path onto the launch site, if the engines either fail to light up or the onboard computer decides it has issues with too many engines and refuses to, it just dumps into the ocean close to shore, so i don't think it's threatening anyone.

none, considering the landing area will be cleared of people just like at launch and even during the worst case scenario where it crashes at full speed into one of the towers, it won't really have enough propellant left in it to create a dangerous explosion for anyone outside the exclusion zone.

There’s arguably still a market for the “not Starlink” second provider option, i.e. people with EDS and governments will still award contracts for constellation internet purely because it isn’t Musk’s Starlink. OneWeb will have to duke this battle out with Kuiper, though, who are likely poised to win by sheer brute force because Bezos can throw cash at everything until he wins a silver medal for second place right behind SX

Idk if you’re being sincere or just saying this in jest but optical photos are actually pretty valuable from a scientific standpoint and the reason they are often false-color is because the optical cameras are collecting more than just pretty photos for the human eye. The false color comes from emphasis on filters that can differentiate different materials and fluids to maximize scientific output. Spacecrafts usually don’t carry iphone cameras, they carry niche scan and stitch sensors that individually collect specific wavelengths of lights

>COP28 saw a bunch of countries including the US, France, UK and Japan to triple nuclear by 2050
Those countries killed off their civilian nuclear power plant construction industries years ago. Just look at the recent EPR and AP1000 projects in the US and EU to see the current state of the industry. They might struggle just to maintain their current capacity, since they have a lot of old reactors that will need replacements or lifespan extensions.
The countries with healthy civilian nuclear construction industries are China, Russia and South Korea, in that order. And that's assuming Westinghouse doesn't succeed in blocking further APR1400 exports. 87% of reactors that started construction in the 2017-2022 period were Chinese or Russian designs. Ironically, neither China nor Russia joined the tripling pledge.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/01/rus
The tripling by 2050 isn't going to happen. It would require an additional 750GW, assuming no existing reactors are decommissioned before then.

Too much was purposely destroyed.
Whereas N1/L3 was, "adjusted to GDP", an effort almost comparable to Apollo, so little remains.
It's actually amazing how well such a large project was hidden for so long; of course the CIA had general knowledge of it, they had enough satellite pictures and logistic information to know about the general scope of the program, but surprisingly little more. And on the western amateur side it was basically nothing more than vague rumours until the perestroika. There even were space academics denying it existed as late as 1985.
And on the soviet side it was hardly better, I remember dmitri_v's (long time NSF/NK.ru forum user who was an Engineer at OKB-1/NPO Energia working on Energia in the late 80s) account that he basically only heard rumors about N1 because one of his classmate had a father who had worked on it, and even after literally getting hired at the company that made the N1, he never heard of it until he specifically searched the archives for some references to it.

God I'm really salty Archive.org's Journal of British interplanetary society compilation is unacessible after the lawsuit, there was some great article ~1984 article about the knowledge of the N1 back then.
with nice quotes like ""There is little or no evidence that the G-Class/Lenin booster ever existed, there is no evidence that the alleged July 4, 1969 Launch failure ever occured"
Generally JBIS had some great articles on soviet/russian and chinese spaceflight from 80s/90s, on top of gems on british spaceflight history (not as informative on american and european one) and a lot of these can't be purchased anymore from their site. I downloaded some of them but couldn't download all.

Eh, don't write it off entirely
This is a good zeitgeist check on what capital thinks of space (it is a huge waste of money)
Even with the potential of creating a new market on a scale that hasn't been contemplated in centuries they are correct in pointing out there is no case for this beyond Elon's obsession and the usual spaceflight appeals. The economic rationale is as ever that you will make more money staying on Earth, and they find it baffling anyone would do something so "wasteful". It's a bracing reminder that greed is not always a useful motivating force. Also these morons are blowing multiple times SpaceX's budget on buying GPUs based on vague promises that ML models can replace a human workforce, so they're just as quixotic

Why did Musk gamble so much of his reputation on a Trump victory?
It seems like a very risky, and clearly unnecessary decision.
Like he spent a ton of money, (and dignity frankly) trying to ingratiate himself to the Facebook boomer demographic, people who think the earth is flat and that Electric cars are a Chinese government conspiracy.
This is all presumably so that he could get some kind of sway in a potential Trump administration.

That's K2, which I chose for its pyramid shape, but I understand your point. It took about 27 years to build the great pyramid using the technology of the time. A 9km version would likely require centuries. Then there's the issue of the ground supporting that much weight, so site selection will be important.

One problem with near Earth space is that it's near Earth.
Make a big laser on the ground and you can destroy pretty much anything you want in near earth orbits, same deal with ASAT interceptors.
Near earth orbits are inherently vulnerable, especially since you orbit around pretty much the entire Earth.
I wonder then if geostationary orbits that put the Earth between you and a terrestrial adversary will be valuable.
Likewise distant orbits further out in cislunar space, a good example might be earth-moon L2 where you are permanently shielded from the Earth by the moon.
The paradox here is that if you are close to earth you are vulnerable, but far away from earth you have sanctuary.
This might have strong implications for ISRU, IE: there may be strong value in having alternate sources of consumables to support orbital operations, if an adversary can effectively interdict earth launched craft in LEO.

The reason countries don't fuck with each others' satellites is because they also share the same planet, you can retaliate on land. If you're not affiliated with a state you have no such protection or way of defending youself.
If you start amassing weapons you're a Threat to National Security for every nation on earth. Even if you could avoid getting killed you won't have business partners to trade with.
If your business is lucrative enough, a government would want in on the racket, commissioning and funding NASA/CNSA/Roscosmos/whoever to take the asteroid.
If you're not part of a state and land your asteroid pieces on an island, who's there to prevent the closest 20 countries from hijacking your cargo by ship?
Even when true space colonization starts, the idea of new nations forming is not really possible before those colonies are completely self-sustaining, and as powerful if not more than Earth's nations. This might never happen in this solar system.

The problem is some people that grew up during that time didn’t seem to notice and continue pushing for action and antagonism against modern nations which don’t give a shit about ideology like the Soviets, but just want to make money and maintain stability in order to continue making money.

Wonder where Soviet space tech would have ended up if they hadn't become paranoid about the "real purpose" of the Space Shuttle and diverted so many resources into Buran. In some ways, China lucked out in being late to the space party as they were able to skip the shuttle fad entirely.

I find it beyond hilarious that the Soviets got SO spooked by shuttle that they spent a shit load of resources, time, money, and R&D into building a shuttle clone—only to fly it once kek
Buran aside, energia itself was super cool but was similarly wasted (I believe part of the problem was that its production was spread across all of the CCCP sort of like SLS is now, for what reason idk, so producing and shipping the parts became prohibitively expensive)

early spacex were very quiet about their ambition to reuse falcon, because shuttle existed and was already 'reusable' and extremely expensive. the biggest argument about reusing rockets was always 'look at shuttle'. Even thunderf00t made this argument many times.

It's hardware rich. The green flame means the engine is eating itself alive during the burn. Means that can't test it more than once, maybe twice. Generally you want to be able to test multiple times to destruction while gathering leaps of data. But unlike SpaceX's hardware rich, where they build a ton of these and test them constantly. RL is acting like Below Orbit, where they've built like 2-3, and each failure sets them back massively.

>a lifting body can be thought of as a fuselage with little or no conventional wing.
>lifting bodies generally minimize the drag and structure of a wing for subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic flight, or spacecraft re-entry
Ergo Starship is a lifting body, NOT a spaceplane

Is the plan with Starship to slam it into the ocean like Falcon 9 RTLS if the landing burn doesn't have satisfactory control? I assume they would have some sort of divert abort option even after they commit to a chopstick try.

You mean super heavy? I've wondered a similar thing. No clue what the fuel margins are but its probably tight and they won't commit to a catch if something is off nominal but there's always a chance something goes off nominal in the time between. What then?
