I recently spoke to someone at a fortune 500 glass company that was approached by SpaceX to make something related to Starlink (the company fucked it up and was too slow). But SpaceX did get samples, and they tested them by launching them into space. That's probably how Mars dev will go. Instead of spending 50 years writing papers on it like NASA, they're just going to overwhelm the red planet with hardware and they'll know more every window. It's the SpaceX approach.

He's a "muh robots" fag that wants no humans in space exploration, still thinks Artemis is about picking up rocks instead of ISRU and water-ice, doesn't know shit about Artemis.
At best like I said there is no ulterior motive for that article and he just wants Starship used for robotic space exploration and move that along faster/cheaper, can't know for sure though.

They have multiple concurrent programs running in multiple stages of development. The limits to number of actual concurrent development is money. They have a limited yearly budget and they cant be bothered to spend tens of billions per year. But when one project matures, this frees up budget for more projects. Mars development plan will come in concurrent with HLS (which will come as Starship matures and frees up critical development cost).

Thin is easy when you're not planning on bringing it back down a gravity well. If your stage stays in space then you can make them balloons. 1.07 mm is thinner than Atlas 1 I believe, but that's to be expected with developments in metallurgy and manufacturing.

>BREAKING: MEGA MILITARY CONTRACTOR CAUGHT FAKING SATELLITE DATA TO TAKE DOWN STARLINK
>SpaceX just exposed a dirty ploy by Lockheed Martin and Omnispace to block Starlink’s direct-to-cell service. Lockheed’s partner allegedly rigged their aging satellite to fake interference and filed bogus FCC complaints, trying to stop Starlink from dominating the 5G space.
>In a bombshell FCC filing, SpaceX revealed how Omnispace manipulated its MEO satellite to “intentionally detect” Starlink signals—despite the satellite barely being operational. SpaceX slammed the claims as “bizarre,” accusing Omnispace of creating “artificial conditions” to fake interference.
>The plot thickens: Omnispace refused standard coordination talks and went as far as licensing through Papua New Guinea to dodge regulations. It’s all part of an effort to sabotage Starlink’s $34.9 billion future in global communications.
>Will the FCC see through this sham, or will Lockheed’s shady tactics derail Starlink’s revolution?

Planes also don't have an abort mode, because they don't regularly fail. Keep in mind these things will be returning from hundreds of starlink launches. Every flight, every unmanned failure a lesson, every ship recovered and examined. Our only example so far is the Falcon 9 booster, and it technically met NASA specs for being crew rated because they've been able to iterate post-flight.

It started lower and the initial slow down was intense but took their sweet time with the catch afterwards.
Paradoxally, more propellant is less delta-v if they're only tapping from the landing tank.
If there was as much extra propellant in it as the chopstick sag and ice buildup suggest then at least the outer engines would've had to be feeding from the main LOX tank. It would be hundreds of tons overweight and the landing tank alone wouldn't support that maneuver.
In that case they would've used the margins afforded by the slower than orbital insertion and lack of a payload and retained propellant in the main LOX tank way past what boostback required, to have some on hand for landing. On top of that there would have to be far more oxygen than needed for the velocity change to prevent sloshing from starving engines during the landing.
V2 boosters built to spec as opposed to being retrofits would have landing tanks of the correct size for their dry mass. And future catches will be both shorter and more intense, and touch down with empty main LOX tanks.

Do you think that the Bloomberg article was useful at all or just milquetoast whining? The last sentence of the article makes it seem like he wants to reorient blame away from NASA, the contractors, and past Presidents and instead lay the Senate Launch System at the feet of whoever the next president is. Likewise, him pushing robots was retarded. It doesn't align with SpaceX's goals.

No, I think it was genuine interest and concern for the better of the space industry. Applying any pressure to pay more attention to the space industry is a good thing anyways, and with how wide reaching his reach is with the more liberal side of the aisle, I think that its good he planted this seed of Artemis bad in them. I still believe he used an EXAMPLE when he said robots and cargo because OBVIOUSLY those are just meant to scout the area to prep for human landing and that sending humans to do science missions on the moon is pointless at this stage. He wasnt ‘pushing’ robots either like he was pushing for rethinking Artemis, it was an offhanded mention. Not everything needs to perfectly line up with SpaceX’s exact goals either, even him advocating for SpaceX is a huge deal, and even pushing for more attention on Artemis is also big. In general, the space industry just needs more attention, for the over regulation, the inattentiveness towards oldspace, and the open political hostilities. What Bloomberg did with his article was good and you are nitpicking very very minor points that could just be you mistaking what he said or of little importance due to your preconceived biases towards left leaning sources.

It was never about Gs. The propellant for needed for the landing burn against an empty booster amounts to a piss puddle at the bottom of the tanks that will go flying when the booster starts maneuvering. Some engines wouldn't even have LOX while it's settled askew during the glide. Either they keep a narrow landing tank or retain far more LOX than needed (like this time).

SLS has taken longer and cost the same as the Saturn V so far, with 1 test flight only, whilst also being severely underpowered and will cost multiple times per launch comparatively (at BEST)
Orion has cost as much as the CSM at this point, taken double the development time, managed 1 test flight so far, is fat as fuck, and is still debatable whether the heat shield will kill the astronauts on reentry

Inflight relight of the raptors is the next step.
An flight with an orbit that would see re-entry off the California coast with an option to perform a relight that would see it land off of Hawaii is where I'm putting my money.
No point in doing pez dispenser tests and it allows for more one catch test before OLM2 is complete.
They need to get that pad ready, fulfil the Artemis milestones and then get the KSC OLM finished while they rebuild OLM1

The feds aren't in any position to disallow anything and if enough of a flap disappears, it loses the lift and control authority to make it to the launch site.
This is the mechanism by which S29 missed its splashdown target and that falcon a few years ago ditched in the water instead of blowing up LZ-1.
If physics forbids a crippled rocket from reaching the landing zones then they're inherently safe.

Starship will be ready within a year and where will the Mars colony contracts be? 20 years away at best. By that time we'll already be on the second or third Starship successor. What's Starship going to be doing until any serious Mars colony organization is ready to buy rides? Launching massive LEO constellations.
Furthermore, Mars colonization can only proceed if society is relatively stable, Elon Musk himself said this recently. A war with China is incompatible with near-term Mars colonization. American strategic interests are therefore aligned with the goal of Mars colonization. Elon Musk absolutely knows this, and is committed to ensuring that Pax Americana continues for another century.

The way to "fix" the FAA is to sack all the present political appointees, replace them with people who are aligned with SpaceX interests, and have them whip the rest of the FAA workforce into line.
Then SpaceX needs to get as much work done as they feasibly can before the DNC wins another presidential election and weaponizes the FAA again. There's no realistic way to prevent that from happening.

Its satire. A certain group only promoted registration because the correct people were registering. When anyone tells you to vote, they are not speaking to a random sample of voters and they know it, it doesn't matter if you are bribed or not. The presence of money hardly seems to matter when dishonesty is the reserve currency.

MDRS is a joke kek, they only run it in the height of the arctic summer when its way warmer than Mars. They dont even try enduring something closer to Martian conditions.
Mars society has always been a larp organisation which is why Musk left it, but giving a speech there is still a decent way to infom enthusiasts of their latest vision.

It's a sign of Zubrins age sadly. He calls the shots and is not open to new talent. Musk and SpaceX are going through a similar thing. The kind of turbo spergs who built SpaceX in the beginning would never be hired today, its now filled with high achieving neurotypicals, and this will inevitabily give way to people who are just 'liked around the office' like in any organization.

He switched Apollo for STS because of cost savings. Reusable boosters, reusable service modules, and no gap in space access would have provided close to F9 economies of scale instead of the shittle we got. They'd simply make a bigger spaceplane and strap some SRBs on to the S-I for the rare missions needing a robot arm.

Back then, they were. It was dangerous, primitive, and the controls were VERY manual. Only heroes can do this without fear.
Now anybody with money can ride, because its just an autonomous robo-taxi to orbit and docking. The only hardship the "modern astronauts" still have is uncomfortable shitting/hygiene, and personal space/privacy. Other dudes are shitting right there in a confined volume, and acting annoying at times for sure. They would be a buzzkill and detriment to my enjoyment.

Nah, just modify the hotstage ring and come in top first. Last minute flip, toss the ring 300 meters off-shore, and land on the tower.
Fish the ring out of the ocean and reuse for bonus points.

No, it's definitely a problem. But, it's not one that warrants panic and the worst effects, even the knock on ones, are at least 20-30 years out at present rate of extreme weather phenomenon that's occurring. That's enough time to build up the energy grid transformational intertia so that society is better aligned to deal with that inevitability. The Biden admin did a good job with the framework of the infrastructure bill, but then they mucked it up by requiring all kinds of absurd DEI requirements that don't align with reality and won't align to reality for another decade at least--simply because the requirement criteria to access cash to modernize the grid is tied to hiring workers that don't physically exist in industry yet because most of the DEI candidates in said STEM fields aren't going for the degrees in question that these new regulations are tied to. So the 50-100Bn in cash strapped for these decade projects is sitting in a metaphorical vault, inaccessible.

this is the level of stupidity i expect on illiterates, not someone who could string sentences together.
1) spacesuit for children will probably be considered public goods. the whole community will share a few sets of extra small spacesuits for children to go through as they grow. these suits will probably compromise movement range for better flexibility over size. spacesuit companies will have incentive to provide lower price for these children spacesuits for the same reason companies offer discounts to undergraduates. eventually, cost of spacesuit will drop to a point that render this moot.
2) street and road on earth is also dangerous if not more so to irresponsible and unsupervised children. which is why they will be supervised.
3) problem with radiation is not limited to children, they just have much lower tolerance, but everyone will have to manage their exposure. additionally exposure to vacuum does not equate to exposure to radiation.
4) no one knows the minimum gravity needed for normal growth, and we can blame people like him for not encouraging research in this area. comparing someone who cannot stand in 1g after months in 0g to somone who may live his whole life in low gravity is either stupidity or intellectual dishonesty.

If you are colonising the galaxy then I doubt you are waiting for one in 100k year events to hop across to a near star that is probably some gay piece of shit anyway. Even with current/near future technology you would likely be using "roads" of beamed power powered by solar/fission (maybe fusion). You can rip a craft up to more or less whatever percent of c you want with beamed power so long as you can keep the beam focused and aligned.

>"SpaceX had to do a study to see if Starship would hit a shark. I'm like "It's a big ocean, there's a lot of sharks. It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely." OK fine, we'll do it, but we need the data, can you give us the Shark data?
>They said no.
>They said they could give the data to their Western division but they don't trust them.
>We're like, 'Is this a comedy?' Eventually we got the data, and the sharks were going to be fine.
>We thought we were done.
>But then they hit us with: 'Well, what about whales?"
>When you look at the Pacific, how many whales do you see? Honestly, if we did hit a whale, the whale had it coming, because the odds are so low. It's like Final Destination: whale edition.
>So then we had to do the WHALE analysis.
>It goes on and on.
>They said, what if the rocket goes underwater and explodes and the whales get hearing damage?
>Umm, If we could make a rocket go underwater and become a submarine, that would be a feat of physics that we could not accomplish.
>It's just one crazy thing after another.
>So yes, I really feel the pain of Government overregulation."

>Similar experience at my space company. We planned to air launch our rocket, with tests where it rolled out the back of a C-17. One Air Force (civilian) enemy of our company said "What if the carrier aircraft is hit by a downdraft of X force? Will your cradle keep the rocket locked in place?"
>It took weeks of our labor to do the analysis, when it took him only 30 seconds to lodge the question.
>The result: a downdraft of X force would snap the wings off the plane before our rocket would leave its cradle.
>Next question from this guy: what if a meteorite hits the plane, will your rocket explode?
>Of course, C-17s have hauled missiles and bombs all over the world for decades, and have never been hit by a meteorite.
>But this guy kept raining down bogus questions, and we had to spend precious engineering resources to answer them.
>If The Government decides to wage war on your company, it's exceedingly easy for them and hugely costly for you.
>Government warfare can kill your company. We ran out of money. Maybe we were bad at romancing investors, or maybe we would have survived if we hadn't been hounded by the (civilian) AF prick.

New prediction based on trendline lands Flight 6 on New Year's day. I personally think this could be two weeks sooner, but with holidays and government morass it may balance out. Would be surprised if it took any longer than this.

the timeline depends on if they want to launch the last Block 1 ship with minimal changes (some modifications were already approved), which could mean that SpaceX could launch in something like two weeks
if they choose to skip Ship 31 (last of Block 1) and go directly with 33 (first Block 2/ v2) then Jan 1 might be optimistic mainly due to FAA paperwork again and I'm pretty sure the ship is still under construction though close to done

There are so many upgrades to do yet, I would wonder if SpaceX would rather bundle them all together so they dont have to wait forever to license each flight with minor changes. Current Starship V2 is not even stretched I dont think. And the full V2 stack is stretched with a reusable hotstage ring modified gridfins, removed engine shielding (must be raptor 3?)

thats not going to happen for Block 1 at all
there is only one left and they need to have multiple consecutive accurate water landings before attempting a ship tower catch
Flight 5 was successful attempt No.1, so even if they succeeded again, Flight 7 would be Block 2 so they would have to do at least two consecutive accurate landings again due to the dynamics changing from flap movement and modification
No Block 1 ship will be caught, now its just a matter of deciding is it going to be quicker to do engine relight with the last block 1 ship or just wait for block 2 (engine relight seems like a substantial change from Flight 5, so its entirely possible that would be outside the scope of the repeat license the got for Flight 6)

interesting, so basically SpaceX is following the reuse as much as possible philosophy even with the Dragon, putting as much complicated stuff as possible into the capsule instead of the expendable cargo/service module, making that simple
unlike with Starliner where Boeing follows a mass autism philosophy from Apollo and Oriong, making the service module very complicated with the benefit of making the capsule simpler and less massive I guess so the heat shield can be smaller
sounds like that even if Starliner issues got solved, then it would be more expensive to use due to less reusability and probably worse cadence too due to having to manufacture these complicated service modules

simply mass produce them in massive quantities
they won't necessarily need to be form fitted and perhaps the form fitted parts could be 3d printed, which brings cost down (compared to some hand measuring etc)

That's what I meant, the pressurised part of the starship is like the first 20m, and 9m wide. U-boats pressure hull space were more than double that length, although only half the width, so roughly equal

You could have argued similarly about computers, but of course the actual path to getting more computational resources was to build computers for everyone, everywhere, not to keep making supercomputers by hand. The result has been that more and better computers, more and better software, and more and better software developers are available for the scientific and military applications that used the first computers.
In the same way, putting entire societies in space is what will enable doing research in space at costs and scales comparable to research on earth.
