It's gonna have the government take away his Tesla subsidies, Saudis take away twitter, and the Antitrust Act take away SpaceX when Trump loses again.
Trump isn't serious about space anyway, a Trump win just means 4 more years of ISS jobs then NASA just ends as his handlers in Congress take over and dismantle it for more military spending and the US occupation of Iran, which is what Trump's owners really wants. You're not going to space with Trump. You're being drafted and paradropped into Tehran.

Now that SpaceX has perfected the super-heavy booster & Starship, whats their next even bigger project? Is it just going to be the enlarged Starship versions or are they going to come out with something that makes Starship & super-heavy look puny?
Also what happens to Falcon now that Starship is fully functional?
If Starship can do the equivalent of 10 Falcon launches in one go then is there a market for Starship to launch as frequently as Falcon has been doing?

Who knows what market opportunities will be created when LEO is dirt cheap to access. Starlink already is the first example of it and is projected to be a 100 Billion dollar market in the next few years. Would be cool to see some new forms of manufacturing based around microgravity.

Trump isn't winning. Musk's best friends have always been on the left. It's Democrats who subsidize his Tesla cars, $8,000 per car in direct cash aid to buyers. It's Democrats who want to spend billions on space missions that require his spacecraft, and it's Democrats that mandated his solar panels/powerwalls on all new homes built in California.
Musk's turn to people who think electric cars are gay and that earth is flat is retarded. He's retarded. His business is much bigger than him, and he represents it poorly. This will become clearer in about two months when he finds himself having to justify all of Trump's anti-science, anti-space, anti-NASA rhetoric while justifying new NASA missions. Democrats can cook up a 2nd SpaceX with subsidies in the exact same way Obama gave him billions to make SpaceX, and Republicans don't believe in SpaceX period.
He's made some bad decisions. SpaceX can stand on it's own without him regardless.

I own a Tesla and got $8,000 from liberals to buy it. $4,000 from the Federal govt and $4,000 from the state of California. Tesla is the core of California's gas car ban, which will be complete in 2035. 2035 is ten years from now.
Only liberal, democratic states are banning gas cars and requiring Musk's product. Musk going for Trump, the guy who wants to ban California from doing this, is enormously stupid.

b-but, I like The Martian :(, I'm very much aware that the dust storm thing right at the beginning was completely unrealistic, but I think everyone just has to accept it as a plot device and move on. Just think of it as an alternative universe exactly as our own, except that such storms can occur there. Also, it really does show us an interesting glimpse into a timeline where oldspace woke up just when SpaceX was starting, and put in the real effort to get us to Mars, albeit in a kinda inefficient way, thus rendering Musk's efforts not that relevant in this world. Consider it oldspace's last big accomplishment in fiction, before SpaceX came along in real life and disrupted the industry forever, while at the same time creating a turning point in space fiction. Nowadays if you don't take SpaceX or Musk into consideration for these kind of stories, you might as well consider them unrealistic.

Forgot to mention, although SpaceX is not exactly mentioned in Andy Weir's book, they do show up in a promotional piece for the movie, expanding the lore for it. Remember that the book was published in 2011 (writing began in 2009!), while the movie came out in 2015. They basically had their own space station, and helped construct the Hermes spacecraft.
https://www.docdroid.net/Zxk9zKw/th
>The Hermes was assembled in low Earth orbit with the new SpaceX Station serving as an assembly platform. Individual parts were transported to the station piece by piece.
So basically by 2015, when they started trying landing their first rockets, they were considered important enough that they kinda retconned the story a bit, and decided to include them.

Interesting bit of an interview with Andy Weir, stating why had he included SpaceX, there would've been no plot basically lol
>Q: SpaceX never appears in your book. Instead, there are the more traditional aerospace companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin. That surprised me.
>You have to remember that I started writing this in 2009, and they were not a proven company then. If I was writing it now, SpaceX would be in there but I would have to come up with a reason why they couldn’t help out with the mission. They might be too fast. I wanted the cooperation of the Chinese to be in there in some desperate situations and to depend on their rockets. That was a plot element I wanted.

its not really about speeding up or paying off thats the thing here, its about the alternative being actively harmful and slowing things down on multiple fronts
perhaps the trump admin will give some new mission to NASA targeting mars using SpaceX stuff, but that doesn't really matter
SpaceX will do it whether they get a contract for a few bil or not, its not like they really need it
the critical factor is to get the obstructing bureucrats out of the way and the choices are:

Probably due to the sheer number of things that could preclude an attempt at the last moment like a failed relight or some other anomaly.

Perhaps Trump the person might be, but Trump the politician created the USSF and brought back the NSC.

He can immediately order the installation commander at Vandenberg to ignore the coastal commission and proceed with the increased launch cadence.

Expendable vehicles make everything easier. If NASA had not gotten tied to the STS LEO bus and oldspace leadership was as dynamic and ambitious as SpaceX, then Mars 1980 would have been a goal rather than a fantasy, and Mars 1919 would have been a reality. Most normies actually think that reality happened. They take for granted that humans landed on Mars at some point and that people visit the moon a lot.

>Most High-density Exoplanets Are Unlikely to Be Remnant Giant-planet Cores
>Some exoplanets have much higher densities than expected from stellar abundances of planet-forming elements. There are two theories - metal-rich formation hypothesis and naked core hypothesis - that explain how formation and evolution can alter the compositions and structures of rocky planets to diverge from their primordial building blocks. Here, we revisit the naked core hypothesis, which states that high-density planets are remnant cores of giant planets that remain in a fossil-compressed state, even after envelope loss....We find that some high-density exoplanets can still possibly be naked cores, but the probabilities are lower than ∼1/2 and ∼1/3 for the ice giant and gas giant scenario, respectively, in 95% of the cases. We conclude that most high-density exoplanets are unlikely to be remnant giant-planets cores.

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask ti explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: --
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

I'm a sucker for adventure stories like Shackleton, Lewis & Clark, etc. so I love the Martian. I just watched it again yesterday. All the struggles are trivially solved in an age of rapid/cheap reuse and megatons of upmass/year enabled by Starship. But it's still entertaining. It is a closeish to realistic take on Mars. More realistic than John Carter. Moon (2009) is a pretty accurate take on near future space, but the economics of the plot twist seems unlikely to be worth it.
Casey Handmer has an amusing take on this: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/
So yes, I know its not the most realistic, it is a good story about the triumph of Man vs Mars. The most fragile Mars trip is going to be the first one, but SpaceX will probably have a few staged Starships on location, with (hundreds of) tons of resources and spares and margin for an unexpectedly long stay.
>>16435851
Yeah, its a nice looking ship. It's so large for such a small crew. Compare it to Zubrin's Tuna Can Habs, where people to Mars have slightly more room than Apollo (basically sitting in a van for like 2 years). lol.

maybe he doesnt care about that, but doesn't seem to be against private companies doing what they want with that
more about Starship delivering the cargo and robots that NASA would be making for science missions so NASA can focues on the science
he did talk about robots being more cost effective than humans for science, but that is quite a common misconception
didn't really seem to be against humans in space per se, just that humans in space as an excuse for science (assuming they were much less cost effective) is not good
but if he was shown that humans can actually be very effective for science missions too, then perhaps he would change his mind about that

Well I cant speak to what he meant on that. I would still assume that he means if you are only sending them to the moon for a science mission like getting roggs and not to build a permanent prescence, whats the point of sending humans. Artemis is not very serious about putting a permanent human prescence on the moon, thats like an aspiration they benched. Again, later in the article he mentiond that NASA has been cancelling science missions. I think he is essentially saying people can go to the moon probably on Starship (maybe should go), but not for stupid things that rovers can do like rock collection and shit. Which is a fairly reasonable position desu, its a massive waste of money to just go for that. We need permanent prescence and using NASA money on SLS and Gateway is a collosal waste of time and effort that would be better spent on other science missions and improving the plan for permanent US prescence than some rinky dink go up and down maybe supply this station no buildings on the moon.
NASA is not serious about permanent lunar colonization, lets face it.

Are you retarded? Scratch that you definetly are since you are spazzing out about muh juice. He literally says there that SpaceX can accomplish this and at a fraction of the cost, he also clearly states that we should still be sending things to the moon. That obviously says that funding should go to SpaceX for ALL of these missions due to their reusability and capabilities, which means MORE funding goes to SpaceX. Quite literally /sfg/s exact position on Artemis and you still have to complain that a super mainstream and popular journalist is spreading it to the masses because you are obsessed with shoving /pol/ rhetoric everywhere you can. This is obviously not cutting all public funding and you are maliciously strawmanning his argument because you are a deranged /pol/ack that needs to go back. >>>/pol/

Literally states SpaceX should be sending all these things NASA has (which as an EXAMPLE he said robots and cargo) to the moon and you somehow think he wants no NASA money to go to SpaceX. He ALSO SAYS
>As someone who greatly respects science and strongly supports space exploration, the more I have learned about Artemis, the more it has become apparent that it is a colossal waste of taxpayer money.
OBVIOUSLY he wants space exploration to happen when he says he STRONGLY SUPPORTS IT and only singles out Artemis as in need of rethinking

You assume the absolute worst because you are a deranged autist and cant be happy when he leaves even the most obvious things slightly vague.

It'd have to be ULA. The only other non-SpaceX rockets launching from Vandenberg right now are Firefly's Alpha at SLC-2W and Northrop's Minotaur at SLC-8, and neither of those come anywhere close to needing 60 launches per year. Phantom hasn't even started on their pad at SLC-5 and aren't even thinking about any launches before Q1 2026 (and are probably a scam), New Glenn launches out of SLC-9 are even more hypothetical, and we don't even really know if ABL is still functioning as a company. ULA and Vulcan are the only other serious business in town.

Probably, but it's hard to make any solid judgements on that until we actually know how much propellant it carries, what its dry mass is, and what the final specs for the BE-3U are. Some of the best numbers we have for those are guesses from nearly a half-decade ago.
On the other hand, a Centaur V is 4.8 tons dry with 55 tons of propellant, and the double RL-10C-1-1s have 212 kN of thrust at 454s isp.

I've got it, I know how Elon can keep the flaps on Starship from melting. All he has to do is pour a couple of jugs of radiator fluid in there (maybe some good GM Dexcool, you know the orange stuff) and put like a 100 psi venting radiator cap on there and as soon as those babies get "rainbow" hot that 50/50 coolant/water mix will flash to steam and it will vent out the radiator cap (you know just like how it's supposed to on your car if it's overheating so your engine doesn't melt) thus taking a huge amount of heat with it.

You are putting quotation marks inside of a greentext, which is redundant because greentext represents quotes which I am pointing out. You also still prove my point, because your ‘fake story’ is also just a fake quote of me to try and poke fun at it. So why use quotation marks on what is already in greentext?

How exactly are they going to catch starship?
Right now they use small steel sockets under the flaps. But thar seems near impossible to quickly grab while hovering. Any other exposed steel would melt. Can't use the flaps themselves because tiles are weak, even the way the catch arms rubbed against the booster would destroy all the tiles lining the sides.
I guess the only solution would be some sort of large deployable hooks?

What about like this, its like the tower catch except you're sliding down one side on the back of the ship. Then instead of a foot you have a hook. And it hangs on one point. No tiles risked, and the nose has a lot of structure, this should be above any payload stuff. The only thing I'm concerned about is the ship crumpling where it contacts the tower because it's probably not meant to have things pressing into the side.
It would be nice to catch it with the launch tower for re-flying tankers but you might have to settle for catching it with a different tower if you can't make chopsticks that can do both. Maybe this thing would work in modified chopsticks on one side and in an open position.

GAO report :
The new report, published Thursday, finds that the Exploration Ground Systems program had several months of schedule margin in its work toward a September 2025 launch date at the beginning of the year. But now, the program has allocated all of that margin to technical issues experienced during work on the rocket's mobile launcher and pad testing.
"Earlier in 2024, the program was reserving that time for technical issues that may arise during testing of the integrated SLS and Orion vehicle or if weather interferes with planned activities, among other things," the report states. "Officials said it is likely that issues will arise because this is the first time testing many of these systems. Given the lack of margin, if further issues arise during testing or integration, there will likely be delays to the September 2025 Artemis II launch date."
An independent review team has completed an assessment of NASA's work on the heat shield, but NASA has not publicly commented on these results or its decision moving forward. In response to questions from Ars this week about a decision on whether to take corrective action, an agency spokesperson said, "The Artemis I heat shield investigation process is still underway, so NASA has not made any decisions yet."

Update on the environmentalists that tried to stall the Starship test. The lawfare is on in full force
https://www.chron.com/culture/artic
>The South Texas Environmental Justice Network said in a press release Tuesday that the community was "distraught by the negative impacts of the launch" and is frustrated with the "lack of concern for public safety and health." When Starship launched on Sunday, it happened after Elon Musk's company curiously finessed a last-minute launch license from the Federal Aviation Administration. Launches were previously said to be delayed until November.
>Now, those opposed to SpaceX are preparing to gather outside a public meeting the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is holding in Brownsville on Thursday to review a permit SpaceX is seeking. The organization says it plans to hold "Fuera SpaceX" signs and hand out information about its concerns specifically over SpaceX's proposed permit to discharge deluge water they describe as polluted into a delicate ecosystem.

Many parts dating back to early 2021. Those Raptors were very very very old , they never tested all the 33 raptors at the same time correctly.

Handmer did a short story version of the Martian where it's taking place in a Starship context.
As I recall Watney gets left behind accidentally and is making his way through a vast automated industrial site with starships coming and going, overwhelmed with supplies but with no easy way to tell which ship contains food and which contains concentrated nitric acid or whatever. It was cool.

P/E is price to earnings ratio. Hype doesn't increase earnings and it just raises the price when people buy. You're just buzzwording.
Also people buy tesla stock because they are growing and have low market share, so there's no ceiling in the way. They also deal in intersecting technologies that branch out into other revenue streams so all the eggs aren't in the car basket. Solar power, batteries, autonomous driving/AI, superchargers, semi, vehicle insurance, heat pumps, robots. Tesla batteries, electric motors, and interior design goes into spacex spacecraft, that's just what I know about. Data captured by cars and robots improves AI, and AI improves cars and robots. Elon wouldn't have been able to walk in and hostile take over twitter without tesla software engineers. And you're like "yeah he should throw away some chess pieces" lmao.

That's the point retard. Tesla's P/E is astronomical, investors have been pumped up with so much hype that Tesla cannot possibly ever accomplish what investors expect of them. Eventually the "FSD in two more weeks" shit isn't going to work on investors anymore. Elon should get out now and let it collapse under some other chump's watch.

Musk hasnt changed much. Hes been mixed libertarian for the past 20+ years, anti-regulation, anti-big gov, pro-America, etc. Elon's stayed the same. Whats changed is the shift of the political parties who are now changing their positions. Back 20 years ago, Rs were in favor of censorship and war. Now its the Ds in favor of heavy mass censorship and pro-war party. Abuse of federal agency to target political enemies from the D are corruption of politics as well.

With an ISP of ~800 seconds on a ~20 ton second stage (basically the same as DCSS) and an 80% propellant mass fraction, with an Apollo Command and Service Module and Apollo Lunar Module as payload, the nuclear upper stage could apply a Delta-V of 2.963 km/s. This is slightly short of the 3.12 km/s needed for a trans-lunar injection burn from Low Earth Orbit, but increasing the gross mass of the nuclear stage to 25,000 kilograms would give 3.478 km/s of Delta-V, which would be more than sufficient and still within the stated gross mass lifting capabilities of the Falcon Heavy.

Without an upper stage, Falcon Heavy would still be very short of the Delta-V needed to put the rest of the payload in orbit, and that would necessitate a much larger nuclear upper stage than a piddly 20,000 kilogram one, and you'd need a lot more engines to make up for the gravity losses.

Its going to be tough for them to get 2 starships in orbit at the same time to dock and do what is only a demo, but using full size vehicles.
A true refueling mission is much more than can be achieved in 2025, even by SpaceX. They simply must have 4+ operational towers, and reusable vehicles, before they can get a useful ship refueled to the point worthy to actually depart for the Moon of Mars.
If Musk gets his way, construction crews have their work cut out for them. Building more towers, with the complete tanks farms, mechazilla parts, flame trenches, etc is simply a construction marathon. Not to mention the environmental lawsuit nightmare to come.
I'm optimistic, but 2025 might only see one empty ship park next to another empty ship, and it wont be more than a squirt of my sperm. Not "refueling".

They cant even get the heat shield to survive a minimal orbital reentry, why would they need to test with even more velocity?
That would be a good test for the Orion capsule, not Starship.

Because they have to catch both the boosters, and ships. They will need at least 4 towers, 2 in TX and 2 more in FL. And, that is just for Artemis...

they can catch the booster and ship with the same tower and they can launch using one tower, its just going to take more time and more launches due to propellant venting

but it does survive orbital re-entry? what the fuck are you talking about
the only section that has had some problems is a hinge where the gas flow gets sped up due to restricted flow
its a special case which is already solved for Block 2 and even then, it wasn't a crippling problem for the ship on flight 5

Checking a box doesn't mean we are sending multiple ships to Mars in the next window.
I expect a refuel level appropriate for a Mars journey and landing will fully need 10 tankers worth of fuel, and zero boil off systems in place. Its ridiculously ambitions to think its going to hit those goals on time. They will, but late.

The book talks about this picture. He really didn't want to be there and couldn't enjoy himself as the Twitter buyout was looming and had begun to realize what he was getting himself into and feeling he had been mislead by the board of directors. SpaceX and Tesla were made in his image and could function in his absence, Twitter acquisition on the otherhand was like the Norman conquest in many ways and would take up a lot of time afterward. Pivoting back to Starship development and looking a lot less blubbery is probably not a coincidence.

never really looked at it in detail before, a V3 ship going from 52m tall to potentially almost 70m is a huge difference though

>200+ tons to LEO in reusable configuration
Delusional until proven otherwise. I have no reason to blindly trust such a figure without real payload being put up.

Will they have to change the launch towers to handle the stretch a la SLS or was it baked in from the start

Maybe, it does require a lunar orbit refueling for hls to get back to earth orbit but it's doable, you can even get the tanker back, landing on earth is a no go however.

is it just newfaggotry because of the ebin launch recently or genuine malice from someone obsessed?

Hitting the image limit is a legitimate reason to stage before getting to page 10, any other reason is probably just /pol/ or tourist fagetry.

Kerbals are more realistic for space travel. Humans will have to be Kerbalized in order to truly be at home in space.

I don't see it that way. No one is planning to leave it like that. They're just marvelling that a spaceship survived any degree of burnthrough.

"Human rated" refers to launch and landing. HLS will take on crew in orbit. Don't be a little word weasel shit about it.
But I still think it will get crew rated eventually after it has had enough launches to be considered reliable enough.
