Soβ¦what caused Muskβs break with the liberals that put him into such a combative relationship with them? I get that heβs hooking up with conservatives but that appears to be the result not the cause. Did it become popular among democrats to hate him because of the grifting? Did too many big liberals got burned on Tesla or something?

And another thing. Yes Musk is a grifter, the archetypical American tech oligarch who runs off of hype. But the fact is, SpaceX is the most successful space company in the world. Tesla and ECs are flopping is really bad news for a certain sector, and sure Elon has frequently run hype scams that go nowhere. But the FACT is SpaceX has a working orbital shuttle, and Boeing does NOT. Starship will fail, but it wonβt sink SpaceX, theyβll just go the Falcon 9 route and make it into a semi-reusable heavy lifter β so the promise of super cheap lift wonβt happen, but itβll still be cheaper than everyone else (until China catches up and/or Roscosmos succeeds in their ongoing programs). Right now SpaceX offers the only WORKING American crew shuttle to the ISS β and if it wasnβt there everyone would be forced to go to Russia for that.
The wider issue isnβt SpaceX, itβs Boeing and other traditional American companies somehow failing to to BASIC shit. Thereβs literally no excuse why Boeing in 2024 canβt make a reliable crew shuttle when some ancient Soviet-era jalopy is still flying. American tech in general is in collapse and I wonder why.

First, The Constitutional Rights in the Bill of Rights are shit the Government can't do.
Second: The Constitution directly and explicitly states the subservience and harmony that the States must follow to the United States Constitution and requires ratification for admission into the Union. Freedom of the Press doesn't mean "freedom to journalists," it means the freedom of the printing press. It is what says you can print whatever shit you want and it doesn't matter how much the Government doesn't like it, it's your God given right.

Pelosi and Bernie started attacking Musk because he is a billionaire, Musk criticized covid lockdowns and the fact that Teslas Fremont factory was one of the few car factories still under lockdown when others were opened so Musk did a stunt (arrest me if you want, I'm going to open it)
this prompted pic related
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/12596
After that there started to be some animosity towards Musk from the democrats (though there has been an undercurrent due to the billionaire thing for ever I guess from a certain group within the Deomcrats, which I guess have gotten more extreme and influential in the last few years)
Then in 2021 you had Tesla and Musk get snubbed and not invited to a white house EV summit due to Tesla not being a union shop, but also perhaps because Tesla was starting to disrupt these automakers which presents a bigger risk to them (so a combination of not being union + threatening auto companies with unions)
At this point Musk was already getting a lot of shit, but where it started to actually get really bad was when he bought Twitter, removed the censorship and published info about government collusion and censorship
after that it has been basically non-stop attacks for almost two years, constant lawfare from the Biden admin with different government organizations going after Musk and his companies in every possible way they can think of

yeah, democrats themselves have been doing insane policies which is probably a big part too but I have the feeling that Musk would have largely ignored those if the democrats didn't actively try to go after him
he became aware of issues as a result of democrat fuckery, at least to some extent, I guess it might be impossible to say how much what occurred is directly the result of the lawfare and how much is just the retarded democrat policies themselves (like censorship)

I believe in using due process to prosecute thought crimes which are illegal under state governments who are not bound by the first amendment, and I want to see the supreme court stacked with people who agree with this constitutionalist interpretation.

Good summary. It should be noted as well that Musk veering closer to Trump is happening in large part because of this lawfare, people not interested in space things aren't aware of this at all. To them it just seems like Musk suddenly became a 'racist evil neonazi' out of nowhere. Musk being a poor communicator hurt him so badly on this front
2 of the funniest moments were when the media (obviously messaging on behalf of Biden admin) admonished SpaceX for "disabling Starlink over Ukraine", and the media focus in those stories were based around how Musk is helping the Russians, instead of the complicated situation relating to Starlink and the ongoing war. So SpaceX enables Starlink and inevitably the Russians start using it too... cue media stories about how Starlink is helping Russians. No win scenario for Musk there. Russian use of Starlink actually has been helping the Ukranians locate Russian military assets, but that's only known by people really interested in the war
Then when the Biden admin criticised Musk for not hiring enough immigrants.... and then later criticising them for hiring too many immigrants as it's a security risk because SpaceX works with the DoD.
If I was in Musk's shoes I would have partially lost my mind at this shit too. If there's an 8 year Kamala administration then they are going to make life hell for SpaceX

Whatever the reason for it, Strategic Defense is an undeniably partisan issue. Some Republicans support it (and the rest are ambivalent) but almost all Democrats oppose it. Maybe this is because Democrats are all pinko commies who don't want America to get an edge over the competition, or maybe it's because they genuinely believe it will destabalize MAD, or maybe it's because Regan supported it so they must oppose it simply for that reason, or because it sounds expensive and doesn't give more money to muh progrums for inner city chillins, or maybe it's because they think it simply won't work, or..... There might be dozens or more reasons why Strategic Defense projects are divided down partisan lines but at the end of the day the simple fact is that division does exist.
So presuming that Elon really does believe in Strategic Defense, either as a genuinely good idea for American interests or as a fantastic money maker that will fund SpaceX missions to Mars, if he wants to fulfill BP contracts he needs a Republican in the White House.

/k/ reporting
Still confused as to how no other nation has stolen the designs for, and reproduced, reusable launch vehicles yet. I know reverse engineering is a fuckload more complicated than it sounds, but the Falcon 9 has been landing boosters for nine years now. You'd expect someone else would have figured it out, leaked something, etc.
Not even necessarily talking about the Russians or the Chinese, you'd think the Euros would have gotten close enough to SpaceX to be able to figure this shit out.

The ESA to this day thinks that re-usability is a fluke and still want to go expandable with Ariane 6, but they're also fucking retarded.

>BUT BUT WE CAUGHT THE BOOSTER!
So, who cares, literally means nothing and you know it. Always a stunt to jingle keys in front of the retarded toddlers and make them clap. Starship hasn't launched a single gram of cargo into orbit and the booster was on fire long after being caught for that matter. The engines were free burning. Stupid fuck Elon didn't even install fire suppression on the catch tower apparently. What a fucking genius.

I think it comes down to other things that I associate with CGIslop, such as the shaky cam, the way the camera is quite close to the path of the subject without itself moving along (think of all the CGI slop where a non-moving camera is buzzed by a jet plane and shakes), but also the initial smooth gradient of the sky which looks CGI-like and even the puffs of white smoke/vapour above the machine.

Oh yeah. So one of the tricks of filming areal battles is to use a telephoto lease at great distances.

It's just that with BO being SpaceX's main technological competitor, it's just insane how far they are behind.

Yeah when it comes to rockets or planes if you want to make it look like real footage you have to "film it" from far away just like real footage. There were some shots in the movie Sully (2016) where the plane was about to ditch in the Hudson river and it look oddly real because the point of view was from far away.

Passion project may be a better word than side gig. Like actors, 2 movies for the studio and one for yourself. I also seem to recall Garth Brooks only got one track on his albums for songs he wanted to play. But, Gwynne runs the rest of SpaceX and the Starship project has no bearing on that. I think Elonβs autism might drive SpaceX into the ground without that separation in business.

Think what you want. Itβs just my assessment. Whenever Starship is involved Shotwell is nowhere to be seen. When the business of SpaceX is discussed, Elon defers to her. Phased management is a good thing. I donβt know that SpaceX would be where it is today with 90% of mass to orbit, sole manned launch provider for the US etc if Elon was running the day to day. Starship gives him an outlet to do great things without killing a business.

seems like no mishap should be necessary, though the booster did get slightly damaged >>16427672
but assuming no mishap, the profile of IFT-6 might still be restrictive (like IFT-5 was) for SpaceX not to want to launch it

They would have been if not for what >>16428153 said. If your engines are likely to suffer catastrophic, mission-ending failures then using a bunch of them is absolutely the opposite of what you want to do because it introduces more single points of failure. Also the N1's engines couldn't even be test fired which made them even more unreliable.

This is a NASA problem. NASA is helmed by bureaucrats and manned by DEI; inspite of this it believes it can conduct a moon landing with the laughable scheduled it's outlined. I think Destin is right in saying it's a clusterfuck and the participants don't really know the plan.
I recognize that Elon is sensibly using the lunar mission as a vehicle to secure funding and infrastructure to pioneer towards a self sustaining Martian colony - An important goal for advanced technology to survive the upcoming competency (dysgenics) crisis, and civilization collapse.

They'll probably reinforce the nozzles to withstand the now known flight loads. Part of the reason they're doing the big revisions is because they're starting with a ship/booster that don't have enough stuff to actually meet the operational goals of the system because they don't want to end up with the bloat that comes from having stuff that they insisted they needed but end up having no idea why they have it.

Starship could have gone to orbit on IFT3 for fuck's sake. There's no magic barrier between 99% of orbital velocity and 100%, successful orbit is literally a flight plan change away.

because it would require more stringent regulation and testing in-orbit burns first
it is more critical to get booster landing and ship re-entry done first, so they did that first
pretty fucking simple
even the shittiest smallsat launchers are able to do in space burns, so why do you think this is something unachievable for spacex with starship? or even so difficult you think its some kind of point that makes sense to argue at all

The FAA won't let them. Spacex needs to demonstrate an in orbit relight to get the license. They probably haven't done it yet because that's two relights instead of one for the landing burn which might fail and you would miss out on testing landing. Now that that the landing stuck the target, they can move on.

donβt ask me. There are people within these agencies who jerk off to the idea of having an ounce of authority.
One time an F9 launched without the proper NOAA camera license and broadcast the view of the second stage from orbit and SX got hit with a huge fine and werenβt allowed to show camera views pending a regulatory review so the subsequent launch stream just ended after launch as if it were a NSSL mission.
NOAA loves pulling the ITAR card and making you go through mountains of paperwork like some sort of fetish

they might skip it like they skipped IFT-5 with the identical profile to IFT-4
if they think there is not much to learn, optimizing for shortest time to a operational vehicle might mean making big modifications again and/or going straight for V2 Starship with IFT-6
kind of depends how long FAA is expected to take, how close the V2 ship is to flying
Isn't the next V1 stack basically ready to go pretty much? need like static fire for the booster + tanking tests for the stack and they could launch it

They will be proven on IFT7 when it fucking flies lol. The amount of damage the flaps suffer during a reentry over the Indian Ocean has almost zero weight to regulators needing to issue delays.

I still don't understand how this works for the Starship. Do you complete a full orbit after deploying the starlinks the land right back at the tower where you started? What about the Starlinks and missions where you need a weird orbit like Polaris where you go over the poles? Is it really that simple or would they have to build catch towers in other places around the world?

relight next launch?
I wonder if SpaceX wants to do ship reuse before doing the orbital refilling demonstration or will they just go with expendable ships?
Ship catch might not actually be that far away now if this landing accuracy was perfect (like Musk said >>16427827), but on the other hand Musk said they need to do two consecutive precise water landings before they do a Starship reuse, and they don't have 2 stacks
so if they did do an identical flight and again got perfectly precise water landing, then V2 would be a different configuration and they would need to do two consecutive water landings again
maybe they could do Starship catch with V1 and do IFT-7 with V1? that goes against the rumours (or facts) about Ship 32 being scrapped though

yeah good point with the regulation stuff, if they can do two consecutive booster landings then it starts to be somewhat routine, should not be a big regulatory issue anymore
its just that I don't think they would do it purely for that, there needs to be some additional data they get or it seems kind of wasteful
preparing for launch and launching etc takes a lot of manhours so its not "free" even if you had to wait for a FAA modification again

you guys
that starship reentry was a close run thing
what if this model was simply too big
hear me out
the bigger something is, the more surface area is affected and hence the more potential points of failure there are
if you have less overall surface area, there's less chance of failure because there are fewer reactions
like why it's harder to crack a smaller nut than a larger one, or why a smaller water balloon is more resilient than a larger one

IMO to best way to wrap 2024 is by reaching orbit with flight 6. In space de orbit burn and landing. Beef up a little bit more the flaps , and re-do all the landings perfectly.
You enter 2025 with a full orbit capable Starship. Also, Flight 7 is Block 2 , even more exciting

What purpose does launching another Block 1 rocket serve? It doesn't seem as though the next ship on the line is capable of deploying a payload and trying to make the flight orbital would require another FAA review. I think there's a good chance that Elon just scraps it and moves onto Block 2.

They can verify some things they have in common with v2, and test things they wouldn't want to risk on v2
My guess is they will deliberately destroy the next v1 Starship to see if they can get away with no ablative tiles

in my opinion, reach full orbit (by doing an in orbit relight ) Then , get caught by the tower perfectly again, and then try to reenter without a burn through (although this may not be possible because of design)

It's less the loss of tiles and exposed ablative during re-entry it's that they're still losing tiles during launch.
The ablative underlayer isn't supposed to be there and was only added after the burn through of IFT-4, it's the tile attachment system they currently use needs a redesign, because the tiles work when they stay on.

Absolutely. That timeline cold war would have been an growing rivalry between usa/uk and german empire concentrated mostly around the north atlantic. This includes ICBM programs to carry the nuclear warheads over the ocean of which manned spaceflight was born out of as a prestige program
It would have been named something like V3 and launched from peenemunde (where they tested the V2s) space port by the baltic sea over east europe. with discarded stages falling over parts of ukraine and vatnikstan
Unless they decided to take the risk and build a brand new spaceport further down south somewhere in the new reich provinces near caspian/caucasus region

I get why people don't like the guy but if it was as easy as throw your billions at a bunch of smart folk and succeed the likes of bezo and Branson would be doing what space x is instead of settling for subortibal flights and low grav/0g tourism shit. For sure those things would make them money but like so would becoming the company with the most sought after launch vehicle for small payloads. Dudes for sure a dickweed but like there's a factor there that he provides that separates his aerospace company from all the other billionaire backed private aerospace companies.
Even the tesla shit like no shit he didn't invent the ev or revolution the industry in any major way but the grand vision he had make the pitch all that more viable. Like from an infrastructure standpoint alone there are alot of these ev companies who have tesla and Musk to thank for mudane bits like the charing stations.
It's also wild to me watching the same folk who are so anti Russia and putin also be against the company that hemorrhaged a considerable chunk of their economy in the lead up to present day. All because they don't like what the dude who owns the thing.

Nah, too much risk of dropping things on Prussia in the event of a RUD. They'd probably transfer launch operations to Crimea so they can drop rocket parts on the Caucasus and the Central Asian 'stans.
