Intentionally launching space junk to high energy orbits. Impressive money waster! Also throwing away reusable engines and structures, and depending on bottle rockets for the bulk of thrust, like this is 1500s China.
Oh and by the way, ULA is still for sale but absolutely nobody wants it... maybe he should talk about that? Because this man looks very very tired, demoralized, and wants to retire on a his private luxury ranch and his many beach houses around the world. He doesn't need more shekels, he needs to disappear into the hidden shadow world of disgraced rich people.

The only thing they have to "sell" is useless, outdated technology, and a bunch of dead weight employees, some signed contracts with US Mil, NASA, and Amazon. After a sale, these contracts should be voided out anyway, that wasn't what the customers signed up for. So really, all they have of value are some facilities, that would need to get extensively rebuilt for anything modern anyway, better for a real company with promise to just seek a greenfield facility and launch pad.
Really... Tory has nothing much to sell here, they bled the company to death.

These are actually pretty valuable. They're just not worth as much as Boeing would like to get for them.

These are also pretty valuable, but a lot of them have been leaving for other companies recently so the argument that it's worth buying ULA to get the team isn't as solid as it was 12 months ago
>After a sale, these contracts should be voided out anyway
That is exactly the opposite of how contracts work
>So really, all they have of value are some facilities
This is one thing that ULA 100% does not have. The launch complexes at SLC-41 and SLC-6 are owned by the Space Force and rented by ULA. After the last Delta IV Heavy launch from SLC-37 the USAF inked a new lease that signed that complex over to SpaceX without any involvement from ULA. They did the same with SLC-6 at Vandenberg.
>they bled the company to death
They didn't even do that! Boeing/Lockheed just bet on the market remaining the same as it was in 2010 and when the market changed they were unable to adapt because they couldn't agree to invest in a strategy that the other might profit more from.
Do you actually know anything about what you're so angry at?

Eager Space said something similar in one of the videos but I guess its a matter of perspective (was SLS a way for NASA to try to distract Congress so they can do commercial crew, or was commercial crew a token gesture by Congress to try to decrease the criticism)
is there really that big of a difference? seems to me certain people at NASA and congresscritters are basically fused at the hip and then you have people in both places doing their own thing, being horrified at whats happening but not having enough power to do much about it
the only congresspeople that care about space are the ones that have oldspace industries in their states (perhaps increasingly new space lately), the rest don't give a single shit because they don't think space matters

I think there is a STRONG argument to be made in court, a change of ownership and management to an unknown absolutely changes the reliability, risk, and schedule certainty that these entities signed with ULA for in the first place. If it becomes a different company, gutted and restructured, with the usually experience mass exodus, this constitutes a breech of contract, and an easy out for those who signed. Its just a lesser value product than what was promised.
I get where you're coming from, and I am not attacking you, but this situation still stinks like shit and if I was a signed customer, I would try to get the fuck out by any means possible, thats just common sense.
ULA should just auction off their few valuable assets for cash, fold with dignity (if that is still possible), and call it a day.

The Orbital Reef thing likely isn't going to happen by virtue of who is behind it and Gateway is probably a scam. What's actually going to get inserted? Is Axiom going to make good on their "first commercial space station" promise? Will Starlab make it through the oldspace porkbarrel gauntlet?

A company being bought out could be an opportunity to renegotiate those contracts or seek some kind of exit, but it's nowhere near as easy you'd like it tot be. If you buy a company you also buy its contractual obligations. Those contracts already have exit and failure clauses already and those are designed to be quite painful so the contractor can't walk away on a whim. If things worked like that we'd have an endless corporate circle jerk of shell companies buying each other out and restructuring" just to dodge obligations that had turned slightly unpleasant. A buyout and restructuring isn't a breach of contract either, and it's in the buyers best interests not to Bain Capital the company in such a way that they can't fulfill those contracts, since if they can't launch those payloads then the much more painful failure clauses go off in their face.
The most valuable things ULA has are their launch contract for Kuiper (maybe worth $10 billion total if Berger's sources are accurate), their government launch obligations ($4.5B for NSSL-2 and probably about the same for the upcoming NSSL-3), and their staff, none of which can just be auctioned off.
ULA doesn't have a future after NSSL-3 runs its course in 2029, but they can absolutely ride their status quo until then.

Sitting around in LEO is not a goal in itself. The point was to get some experience with people living and working in microgravity, which we had enough of decades ago. We know it's not livable long term.
10x more important now to figure out what different fractions of Earth gravity do to the body, esp Moon and Mars level.That means getting to the lunar surface for longer stays or simulating with artificial gravity stations.
NASA, though, is stuck with its inertia wanting to do the same things over and over, and drags others down with it (eg CLD program).

It'll be funny to see the pie graph for expenditure when the Mars city is fully self sufficient.

Can't believe that in 67 years of spaceflight, artificial gravity was only properly tested in space only once, during Gemini 11 in 1966, when they tethered two spacecrafts together and made they spin a bit, generating 0.00015 g. That's it, can't find anything else up to this day.

i wasn't very aware of it at first, but i've noticed an uptick in panic from common EDSers as well as spacex "competition" every time starship checks another "likely impossible" hardware requirement off the list.
first it was whether or the 2nd stage flip idea would even work, then it was whether a 1st stage of such thrusting magnitude wouldn't just destroy itself, then it was starship's unique method of staging, then it was reaching orbit.
re-entry not working was one of their last lines of defence, after this the only thing copers have left to hide behind are the catch mechanism and in-space refilling (that last one is so weak it's hardly even worth mentioning.
every time they lose another goalpost, and they're running out of places to move it, the panic is real and visible.

It's not just space topics or space journos. Bad disaster response after the hurricane and poor immigration policy have taken the zeitgeist from disgusted with the government to openly hostile towards it. Coverage of Artemis' disastrous progress is getting a boost from those overall trends. It's no longer considered impolite to say openly that the government is doing a bad enough job that they should be made to stop.

Martian civics is a centrally important subject for any colony project and it's better discussed early than late
like, how do you select your leadership bro
is it a military command structure or civilian leadership
>le voooote
lmao how quaint
yes, allowing rich earthers to buy themselves a ticket and hence a vote will have NO negative consequences trust me bro
they have done such a good job with Earth, I'm sure those monied and very competent individuals are the BEST choice for any colonization project
"Mars, like all other “celestial bodies”, is legally regarded as the “province of all mankind” in the Outer Space Treaty. The Agreement prohibits national appropriation with respect to planets and other space objects, or any part of them. Accordingly, Martian bases, stations, settlements, and colonies will be regarded as operating under the jurisdiction of their originating nationality. Private corporations will likewise operate under the law of their originating jurisdiction, as will any colonies they may establish."
Have fun with your colony governed under current American legal code, or even better a Chinese one.
Yes, that's good enough. No way to improve that system.
The FAA WILL exist on Mars since you have no desire to tackle this problem beforehand.

for me, it's dividing the crew into sections responsible for operating and maintaining essential systems like security, power, life support, communications, weather monitoring, psychological profiling, horticulture, medicine, navigation and landing coordination, etc and shuffling them in staggered fashion one or two at a time between different sections periodically for cross training purposes
each section so constituted would hold self-contained and regular elections to select a representative from their section to serve on the Supreme Council, which itself would write binding legislation based either on a 2/3 majority system or unanimity
they could be invested with the power to elect a dictator in times of emergency, but that might not be necessary unless there were some kind of deadlock between members on a particularly important issue
no term limits, if you keep getting reelected by your section that indicates you are the most qualified
for these government functions to proceed, every essential system must first report fully functional first
if there were a critical failure in one of these systems, it's the task of the government to coordinate relief efforts and identify the problem before continuing with their prerogative operations
what am I missing here

all the sex positions are already discovered, zero g changes nothing
but the sex ops division should have a seat on the council, even if they aren't subject to rotation (rather, those who volunteer would be relieved of their duties by the next scheduled volunteer to prevent burnout) and are an opt-in service available to each section
they would probably coordinate with the psych section to assist in building profiles

by that point we will have determined if there is any exobiological threat to human life and hopefully have found microbes in the water
it's only really important for the first few missions, until we retrieve a representative sample for study
>2 hours every ingress and exit on decon
more like 21 days dude
they quarantined the Apollo astronauts for 21 days when they got back because they stepped on the moon
last I heard PPO wants to have these quarantine measures in place *during* the first manned mission to Mars because the probablility of microbes existing on Mars is far higher than the moon
>cleaning your shit
that's still going to be important so you don't fuck your seals with the dust you would otherwise track in though
the moon dust on the Apollo missions was very bad, literally ate away layers of their boots/visors and comprimised the vaccum seals of their sample containers it was so abrasive
Mars dust is fine as talcum powder, aerosolized, and sticks to things because it has a static charge
though it probably won't be uniquely abrasive as moon dust because of erosion it's still going to be a bitch to mitigate and that procedure WILL involve laborious cleaning
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar
>With the new objectives to extend human space exploration missions to the red planet, exposure to Martian dust cannot be ruled out, assuming that some dust and soil will be brought inside the Martian habitat by returning astronauts, as was the case during the Apollo missions to the Moon. However, even less factual data exists for Martian soil and dust compared to lunar dust.

sure there were some who never stopped pointing it out, like you and me, but many were still trying to "fair" to ULA at the time and you heard a lot of coping that a new rocket flying for the first time with very vibratory solid rocket motors somehow wasn't shaking anything, when that's a problem many different rockets using solids have experienced.

it isn't
Mars has only an intermittent and splotchy magnetic field generated by magnetic particles in the soil and dust, no magnetosphere because dynamo is fail
which is why space weather is even more relevant to Martian climate than Earth's
Pluto does have an active core, and currently it isn't known whether Pluto even has a magnetic field.
Everything said about that is speculation about obseved rotation.

It takes a lot of infrastructure work to get a good HD video stream after the rocket gets out of sight of the cape. SpaceX can only pull it off with starlink and even with that it took them some time to get all the issues worked out. ULA only has the TDRS birds for downrange comms and geostationary satetlies aren't great for livestreaming

Yeah, but they didn't have continuous launch-to-landing streaming until pretty recently. All of the times Falcon 9 would pass into a dead zone and then pop up sitting on a droneship were times when it was passing out of direct line of sight with the cape. It's hard to get good video from Centaurs because they usually don't start up until Atlas or Vulcan are well below the horizion

Do note that it's not necessarily because they burnt longer than what was shown that they had to compensate. Maybe the additional burn time was simply because of the delayed launch later in the window, and they forgot to update the stream interface.

They're still used because they were a cheap way to add some extra performance. The earliest outlines for the Atlas V and Delta IV didn't include them, but the Delta IV Med ended up needing them because of RS-68 under-performance and the Atlas V leaned all in on the dial-a-rocket idea instead of going after the Atlas V Heavy

they have so many downsides.
1 history proves they're not much more reliable than liquid fueled sideboosters
2 they're not really that much cheaper than people always harp on about, it's not a very significant difference.
3 throttling a solid rocket motor throughout flight to deal with max Q is not easy, and because it's literally patterned into the solid fuel it's not easy to make major changes to a rocket's trajectory before launch on the fly.
4 as you might know they're impossible to turn off, this is a massive risk factor in human spaceflight especially.

It also makes it literally impossible to trigger the FTS on stage 1 of the Vulcan. Is there a separate FTS charge on all 2, 4, of 6 SRBs, as well as the core stage 1, and stage 2?
Having 8 different FTS systems seems ridiculous and dangerous, and we all know the SRBs are going keep going, become uncontrolled nigger chasers as soon as the center rocket is lost.

back when the shuttle was designed this whole srb reliability thing was valid. liquid rocket engines werent mature enough. F1 had terrible isp comparible to a solid, and was estimated to have a much higher chance of failure than a solid. Engine failure on Apollo would be ok, but on shuttle it would be fatal.
Since then oldspaceheads have just repeated the srb reliability thing even though its no longer true and doesnt even make sense on non shuttle style vehicles.

It's not that easy.
The FCC has to prove space to cell transmissions will not disrupt the very careful arrangement of various channels that the phones operate in (the "cell" part of the cell phone), so I imagine they're looking to see if Starlink is accurate enough to only beam down into a specific cell without causing interference in others.

They literally had to allow some limited, non-profitable testing, at a snail's pace, because the companies that are trying to prevent DTC it are also planning to do the same fucking thing themselves, just later, so they wont stop it, just make it really really slow. Which especially pisses off Elon (with good reason) since they have already invested a lot in launching the damn things, well before the competition, who will have an inferior product.
Also those are the usual players, who have bribed congress to do whatever the fuck they want.

I don't think there's any chance of them making back their development budget but as long as they're flying more than one or two times a year it shouldn't be difficult to cover their operational costs. There's also a lot of sounding rocket payloads that would like to ride on a fully reusable vehicle if that makes their mission cheaper than launching on a Black Brant. Being the only company to run a semi-successful space tourism business isn't a bad look either.

tl:dr Vulcan is under old rules, as is Falcon 9 right now
Falcon Heavy and Starship are under new rules, which seem to be much stricter
at least the list of stuff that is designated as a mishap is much more specific and longer, but it seems kind of complicated and there might be instances where something that would be a mishap under the old rules is not one under the new rules. some of this is also directly under the interpretation of FAA (specifically 4,5 and 6 in the second screenshot that explains what is defined as a mishap under part 450, they explicitly say "determined by the FAA")

starship already launched 4 succesful test flights.
you're probably a retard.

>Even the reusable 4-segment SRBs
In all fairness, reusing SRBs is a big gay meme.

"succs" is half of successful, isn't it?

That ULA thing is just a disgusting looking rocket honestly, SRBs protruding, nasty sagging diapers around the engines

FAA will not require an investigation for Vulcan anamoly. Elon should have sucked off biden and lick the pussy of Mrs. Harris. Tony did, and it paid off

It's a Space Force licensed launch. The FAA can't do anything but shake a fist at them. That's why there's no grounding orders.

LandSpace (dumb name) is by a wide margin the safest bet. They already made orbit with their Zhuque-2 and in doing so became the first methalox fueled orbital launcher in history, and Zhuque-3 has been in development for quite a while.
Notice how 3 of the other 4 launchers started off with solids and are just handwaving the pivot to liquid like it's a total non-issue, and more importantly at least 2 of those solids are just off the shelf military SRMs. LandSpace already have good working liquid engines that use the same fuel they intend for their reusable rocket, and they've proven they can get to orbit with 100% developed-in-house hardware rather than slapping a kickstage on a retired ICBM and calling it brand new. iSpace did have that implessive hopper test, the one that blew up... but LandSpace already had successful hopper tests before that. I don't imagine they'll achieve reuse on their first few flights; however, if the FAA drags their feet enough the first (partially) reusable orbital-class methalox rocket may end up being chinese.

Space Pioneer would be in the lead if they hadn't accidentally launched their first stage test hardware. I had LandSpace in the lead earlier on but SP is buying their engines from a CASC subsidiary which let them pull ahead. Now things are more of a tossup. I don't know if we've seen a fully assembled ZQ-3 first stage yet, but SP had a TL-3 S1 with a second well into assembly.

I always said that Relativity should have just kept T1 flying as a marketing stunt while looking for customers for their giant object printing technology. If they're not building the tank walls, pressure domes, or fairings, are the engines the only parts of Terran R that they haven't outsourced?
