>A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch October 7 with the European Space Agency's Hera spacecraft to visit the binary asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos and investigate the system after the impact of NASA's DART spacecraft in 2022. DART tested an asteroid deflection technique that could move an object off a collision course with Earth.
>Three days later, on October 10, SpaceX is supposed to launch NASA's $5.2 billion Europa Clipper mission on a Falcon Heavy rocket to begin a six-year journey to Jupiter, where it will explore one of the giant planet's icy moons. The Falcon Heavy uses essentially the same upper stage design as the Falcon 9.
>Both of these missions will require two burns of the upper stage's Merlin vacuum engine to send the Hera and Europa Clipper spacecraft out into the Solar System. They also have limited launch windows to depart Earth and still reach their destinations. Hera's launch period runs from October 7 through October 27, and Europa Clipper's window extends from October 10 through November 6.

Europa clipper is supposed to launch in 10 days, but the launch window is almost a month long

probably similar problems as with the SLS i.e. incompetent people working there as technicians, bad communication between different parts of the organization (I think this was already shown previously, two different software teams got pissed at each other and didn't talk so there was no integration testing before the actual launch), ignoring clear problems (the difference compared to SpaceX here is no hardware rich development and testing, so the problems don't get solved until they absolutely have to which delays everything)

It depends on how the law is written. The FAA can no longer just show up in court and claim they are right because they are the FAA. For context, the case that overturned Chevron came about because a federal agency said fishing boats in new england had to have federal inspectors aboard to ensure they don't overfish. The courts had found this to be reasonable, but then the agency went further by saying not only did they have to have the inspectors aboard, the boat would also have to pay $800 a day for the inspector. This would have bankrupted them so they sued the agency for regulatory overreach and won.

The worst is when you talk to oldspace NASA and industry people (like on that Artemis discord) and they try to say launching on FH didn't save NASA a billion dollars because if you do accounting tricks and don't count various buckets of money SLS costs less on paper than it actually does.

These sort of prople will say saving hundreds of millions on launch costs is irrelevant if the payload costs billions.

Idk if you have noticed but ocean life populations are getting reamed by industrial fishing and their willful disobeying of catch laws. In my country they were required to install cameras on their boats in case accusations were brought forward. Guess what? Every single time fishing companies have been taken to court the cameras have been faulty. "Sorry sweetie the sea is a harsh environment, the cameras just failed :^)". Pick a different industry to defend against government niggers because every fucking fishing nigger should be wearing ankle monitor tier body cameras.

overfishing is like voting in a so-called democracy
regardless of what you do as an individual, the eventual outcome is going to be determined by what a bunch of other assholes do, so your own actions are irrelevant to the outcome you get

the answer is to make people bid on the right to fish
it doesn't matter what you do with the money, but spending it on building fish populations sounds reasonable
you'd have to enforce compliance internationally in most cases, though, which makes the whole scheme impractical

If its 150T, then V2 large = 93, V2 mini = 180

yup, mars landing in 1981, permanent bases on the moon and the red planet in the early 90s. Biggest disappointment in history. Instead we got a generation of retards denying the apollo landings, calling space fake, and claiming we'll never get out of this gravity well in our lifetimes. von braun, korolev, glushko, chelomey, etc, all rolling in their graves :)

People's IQ dropping like rocks, hundreds of millions of people struggling to live by the day, with absolutely no time or energy to care about space colonization. One crazy person, one ill situation and thousand of nukes erasing all human progress for centuries.
Rampant greed, rampant anger, people scared 24/7 , everything is designed to be harmful , to be negative, to have an effect on you, people with no soul taking decisions, millions of oblivious people being told to look to other side.

What was once my hero, the misunderstood genius with a rough childhood, who "was always thinking about new ways to optimize the machine", who had a clear plan and was willing so sacrifice everything to reach that goal, the person who was a ray of hope and commitment in the increasingly bleak world , now it is transformed in what he used to hate. A shell of the past self.

Now, we walk into the unknown, only a few strings hold still the idea. The concept. The reason that we are here now in this site.

Without BO? Quite a bit less talent pool in the newspace, BO has been the second incumbator for Astronautics skill behind SpaceX over the past 15 years. Also important for keeping the DC-X teams and skills around.
Some quite interesting R&D done with NASA over the years that wouldn't have happened.
No BE-4 so Vulcan is AR-1 powered.
Quite a bit less investment in test infrastructures in the cape, stennis, alabama...

Without Kuiper, on top of that, ULA and especially Arianespace's prospects would be bleaker, a good bunch of investments were met to meet the orders, SMART would probably be dead, Ariane 6 upgrades too.

Overall while operational capabilities wouldn't be different the non-SpaceX american astronautics would be at least subtly if not noticeably lagging compared to ours.

However, I would expect something more procedural and free to do whatever the player wants, a sandbox. This looks like your actions are very limited, and you are just following along with the script. I still admire the dedication of the developers, though, true space autists like us, it's just that in real life nobody would play a spaceflight simulator, it's a very niche genre.

Normies at my office were recently talking about the Starliner fiasco, and expressed concern that the astronauts would now be forced to ride home on Elon's unproven spaceship. The consensus seemed to be that they should just wait until "NASA can come and get them." They literally think that SpaceX just cobbled together something in the past few weeks specifically to "rescue" the astronauts, and that it's at risk of exploding like the rest of their rockets.

North Island is totally wrecked by intensive dairy farming, South Island is just as bad and has the added bonus of huge pine plantations fucking everything up. The New Zealand you see on Lord of the Rings is basically just the Southern Alps and some other pockets of national parks. Also we are getting 9999999999 Indians every year and we don't have giant sprawling cities to house them like other countries so they just stack them like firewood in every crevice around the nation. Oh and don't take your dog to a river downstream from intensive dairy farms, the water kills them when they drink it :)

They know that a Martian colony won't be right away, don't they? It will start as a temporarily manned outpost, then a permanent base which will expand and slowly turn into a colony. The important part is that the development of the outpost from base will take many years, if not decades. SpaceX won't be shipping dozens of people there every period, as first we will have to learn how to live there.

> Should Gateway be canceled, the biggest losers would be SpaceX and Johnson Space Center in Houston. SpaceX has a contract, potentially worth billions of dollars, to supply the Lunar Gateway over a 15-year period. SpaceX has plenty on its plate, so losing a logistics contract like this is salvageable. As for Johnson Space Center, teams leading the Gateway project could transition to working on more robust surface activities.

In the short term, mars would at the very least have less extreme swings in temperature which might mean lower highs and higher lows. It would be warmer of average.

In the long term, it's hard to say how the climate would evolve. Water vapor clouds reflect sunlight and infrared emitted from the ground. Snow on the ground reflects sunlight. It could actually be colder after the climate stabilizes.

Just like everything else it will be a lot easier to establish how to do it once it's actually possible to try it.

The alternative is the approach of modern day NASA. They'll spend decades debating the virtues of various methods using increasingly sophisticated and correspondingly speculative theories only to then declare victory after dumping some beans sprouts onto a pile of sand and gravel.

Sardines are for all intents and purposes are an infinite supply of food because they reproduce faster than anyone can fish them. But Tuna, Cod and Lobster take several years to mature to the right age to be pulled out of the sea and are much more valuable, so fishing rights are much more important.

I believe with Lobster, who is allowed to catch them rotates along the east coast of Canada and the US community by community, month to month.

you only need to do that kind of service exporting as long as mars isn't self-sustainable
if mars owns and operates companies on earth then that is also a source of cash flow (lets say a foundation from Elons holdings of SpaceX, Tesla etc)

This, NASA leadership is totally paralyzed, CLPS has failed, SLS 1b/Orion/Gateway/SLS-LM are all stuck in design and test hell, let alone the incoming bankruptcy of Axiom.
The entire Artemis programme was cobbled from the ideological leftovers of Constellation without any forethought for commercial partners. You can see this in the complete fuckup of the current design of Gateway and the current concern that HLS would destabilize the station. There's zero communication between the different Artemis teams let alone to NASA leadership.

What is the limiting factor for upper bounds on terrestrial planets? Is it volume or mass? Is there a gray area between “earth-like” and “neptune-like”? Is it a gradient? Or after a certain mass do minerals and rocks just not form and everything is more likely to either be squashed into a dense core/mantle or sublimate into a giant atmosphere like neptune and uranus?

The fathers of rocketry like von braun and tsiolkovsky read science fiction books as children and decided to combine math with realistic options for getting an object into an artificial orbit, just as the moons and planets orbited.

The moon already has something extremely valuable to harvest, which Helium-3. It has less gravity so launching rockets off the surface would be easier. It has water and fuel precursors, so life is more sustainable. It's closer.

Mars has all of the problems with habitability - most even worse - that the moon does but no clear valuable resource to extract.
