The rest of the universe didn't exist until humans became capable of studying it in detail. It was essentially generated by our attempts to understand it.
Atum-Ra and his host withdrew from Creation into the Duat temporarily in order to let this development continue without their interference. Thoth's observations have led him to begin the process of restoring himself and the host into the world so that they may venture out into the unknown as humanity's vanguard. They will likely take the form of humans who have synthesized themselves with AI. Thoth will be the first to emerge. I worry about what he saw that made him think this was necessary.

I support this idea. A short-term solution to growing food for Mars is growing it in orbit and dropping it down to your colony. It'd be quicker than cleaning out enough soil to grow under domes on the surface, and would be a good supplement while surface-production is getting established.

Iโd just like to interject for a moment. What youโre referring to as Starship, is in fact, Starshp/Super Heavy or as Iโve recently taken to calling it, Starship plus Superheavy. Starship is not an orbital rocket unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning launch vehicle made useful by the Superheavy booster, Mechazilla, and vital OLM components comprising a full superheavy lift launch vehicle as built by SpaceX.

The reason we have a stage flooding problem is someone will early stage, then the current thread reaches page 10, then a 'real' thread is made to avoid rewarding the early stager, then the early stager just keeps early staging anyway even though no one uses his thread. Using the early stage thread would fix the problem, but then you reward mental illness.

Isaacson book also has a chapter on it. The conversation wasn't broadcast to the world which in their minds means it was "secret" and therefore he is a traitor who should be arrested immediately for complying with US State dept regulations by not illegally allowing Starlink to be used to attack targets inside Russia. They are honestly clueless that SpaceX has crushed the Russian space launch industry or the that Elon was footing the bill for Starlink in Ukraine initially. It should be obvious that another great power conflict with be fatal to his space colonization ambitions.

>Great job by the engineering, operations and engine teams on the installation (here is another view.) The seven #BE4 engines in this image will deliver more than 3.8 million pounds of thrust for #NewGlenn. Three of the seven engines gimbal to provide the control authority for New Glenn during ascent, re-entry, and landing on Jacklyn, our recovery vessel downrange at sea. That gimbal capability, along with the landing gear and Reaction Control System thrusters, are key to making our booster fully reusable. Fun fact: The vehicle's max design gimbal condition is during ascent when it has to fight high-altitude winds.

So you can just straight up make shit up now? This shit doesn't even make sense in the first place. Kremlin has no direct way to pressure Musk's businesses, none of them are involved in anyway with Russia. And like other mentioned Taiwan doesn't allow Starlink to be sold there in the first place, which has nothing to do with China.

this was posted a while ago, but I didn't see a lot of discussion
interestingly if the power delivered is much higher per area compared to simply solar, then perhaps there are some niche applications like pic related, cruise ships going fully electric, remote military bases (relatively small power receivers vs large field of solar panels)
but the power/area would have to be pretty high

I have only seen people talk about it as an idea. Iโd like to see some hard numbers.
A quantitative measurement of how much power could be generated by a simple power constellation (can this ability simply be โaddedโ to Starlink??) What is the mechanism for transmitting and receiving power? Would you construct local โsubstations,โ perhaps the size of a car or something, that receives power from multiple satellites and banks it all in a power bank for local distribution such as a military base or whatever? Could you beam power directly to homes?

Carl Sagan was a "lightweight" to fit his role as a science communicator. He performed his part perfectly as a liaison between people who knew their shit and people who wanted to know enough shit to be inspired.
NDT wants to be the best science communicator, the smartest astronomer who ever lived, the most prolific author, he wants it all.
He's a narcissistic midwit and his contribution to science is repeating someone else's work in calculating how to count dots in a field.
It's like that "good will smith" clip from Norm McDonald, but instead of 2+2 on a whiteboard it's a black man learning how to do a "connect the dots" puzzle.

Elon's whole thing is that he disrupted a lot of people's happy stagnation, solving many deliberately unsolved problems. Basically everyone is seething that despite all the money and "power" wielded over a literal century to maintain a certain status quo, the market still rewards the creation of value. Even non-anti-semitically the companies he's fucking with are owned by the hedge funds that lost money on tesla that also own the media companies that run the news, so every power hungry normalfag happy to extend state control through themselves has 100% convinced themselves that the greatest man of our time is a dangerous fraud who should be jailed

Metaculus isn't a prediction market, it's just a forecasting site. The prediction is just an aggregate of the user predictions, nobody is betting here. I don't think just anyone can make markets on Metaculus. (Metaculus generally does the best though, as far as I'm aware.)
Manifold markets is a play money prediction market, where anyone can sign up and make markets, I've seen it posted here a few times, and I think this is where this >>16448828 market was.
Polymarket is a real-money prediction market, people bet money on whether or not some event will happen. The reason this works is because the market should pay out in expectation if you, for example, buy a yes share at 60% if and only if the underlying true probability is greater than 60%. A 60% share costs $0.60 and pays out $1.00. In the long run, you break even if an event is trading at %60 and in fact happens %60 of the time. It's like a poll, but you're punished for being a retard by losing money, so you can't just spout bullshit for free. It's not "available" in the U.S., but it's crypto. You're supposed to just lie, use your brain.
The big one everyone knows is PredictIt, but it only does politics, mainly in the U.S. This is a real money prediction market.
There's also Kalshi, which is legal in the U.S. and a real money market, but there are very few markets and they have shit volume so there's not a whole lot of money to be made there, it's worth looking at if you're interested though.
I made/make decent money on these just by betting against obvious retards, not so much recently since it turned into kind of a slog, but it was fun for a while.

Then they quetly made dozens of unique tile shapes to fit the body of the craft (like shuttle) and all you retards were screeching about how "NO, BUT THIS TIME ITS DIFFERENT, THIS TIME IT WILL BE RAPIDLY REUSABLE OR SOMETHING LOL"...
Then they quietly made plans for a hangar dedicated to inspecting and replacing the tiles on the ship every flight... LIKE SHUTTLE....

The tiles are made from the EXACT same material as Shuttle tiles. There is no material science innovation here at all. Sure they can probably do the inspections for cheaper than NASA, but Starship will never be able to refuel and refly twice in the same day, or even the same week. I guarantee it.
Btw, shuttle tiles cannot withstand lunar or Martian entry velocities, so manned trips to Mars and back straight up aint happening. This problem with the shield is part of why dear moon was cancelled. it was/is technically impossible. Orion is unironically needed to return humans from the Moon.

The material of the heat tiles for the shittle wasn't the main problem (and they aren't the exact same regardless). It was that there was a bazillion different individual heat tiles and because of the shittle's garbage as aluminium structure they had to cover the entire fucking shittle in them.

And it returned within safety margins, unlike Starship which burnt through the shield both times. The only reason NASA are worried about the shield is because they are pussies who are overcautious. The shield is safe but just doesnt behave how they expected.

they are not the same tiles, Starship has redundancy under them if something goes wrong and I guarantee you they have way smaller number of tiles
also SpaceX is actually competent and is able to iterate rapidly, so they can actually solve problems when they come up instead of sweeping them under the rug like with the Shuttle

To begin with this general didn't even exist when Starship decided to use tiles.
Secondly you ignore the entire reason why the shittle's heat tiles were so hated in the first place.
Lastly you're making completely unfounded claims. Deer moon was cancelled because Miyazaki underestimated just how long it would take for Starship to get ready for such a flight. Claiming they can't withstand Martian entry velocities are completely unfounded as well.

You have to throw away the ship if there is burnthrough. The ablative cannot be reused, and there is not enough ablative for a full reentry.
The problem is it wont be rapidly reusable, and in the case of burnthrough it wont be reusable at all.

a small number of different shapes vs 10k different tiles
tile damage redundancy through an ablative vs redundancy in some very specific locations through sheer luck
then you have advances in automation and whatever which will allow SpaceX to automate the replacement and inspection of the tiles when they have actually iterated up to an acceptable solution, the ships will be mass produced so the system will go through massive iteration due to that and the initial flights (and in any case) will be unmanned vs all shuttle flights being manned for completely retarded reasons

It is when every single tile must be exactly done right or the heat expansion of the frame of the shittle and the tiles themselves can cause catastrophic consequances. That is the single biggest reason why it took such a long time to replace its heat tiles. Starship doesn't have this problem. It doesn't need to produces a bazillion different shapes that need to be perfectly put together. It uses the same shape of the tiles almost anywhere, and it's much more resistant to slight imperfections of their individual placements.

the fact that the ablative cannot be reused is irrelevant, its there as a redundancy and might be removed in the future when they the tile system gets reliable enough

No, that's not what I was saying. Steinless steel's specific strength doesn't drop of a cliff once reaching temperatures above 300 degrees like it is for aluminium and has a much higher melting point. This means that it tolerates imperfections in its heat tiles far more than the Shuttle and makes you able to MUCH faster replace heat tiles.

Truth is starship wont be fully or rapidly reusable for the next decade at least. Thats what ive been saying.
Artemis requires a turnaround of 2 weeks which is realistic, but daily turnaround is impossible, so Earth to Earth is impossible.
As it stands manned flights beyond LEO are also impossible because the shield can't withstand that. Musk said the biggest challenge is the heatshield, and it's true. Starship cannot do a manned trip to Mars and back with the shield it has,and cant even do dearmoon.

Why has there never been a oxidizer rich staged combustion hydrolox engine? Based on what I know of how retardedly complicated the SSME's were I'd figure that oxidizer rich would be the way to go for the future but even the soviets went with fuel rich hydromeme, is there something I'm missing? Does hydrolox make way more heat than other mixes that not even soviet material scientists could handle?

It's usually the newer employees who don't realize his autism level. The flip side is he will never claim to remember that one time he chewed someone out. If someone demonstrates they know their shit and are ambitious they will have all the project autonomy they could ever want and will be accountable to nobody at the company other than him. There was an anecdote about a QA auditor getting into an argument with one of the Raptor engineers over not doing paperwork. When Elon learned of it he went off on the QA auditor. He was in meetings nearly every day with the Starship engineering team until 1:30am at one point and his presence at work stations is apparently so common workers just ignore him unless he has questions or gives orders. You can sort of see this in the Starbase tour video, they aren't at all surprised to see him when they go inside one of the bays.

Different priorities. The US saw hydromeme as the future while the USSR didn't. The USSR also had better material science when it came to developing exotic alloys and ablative materials than the US. The USSR also had more freedom in developing rocket engines because of the way design bureaus were structured. Glushko could get the funding and resources to develop a bazillion different engines while such a counterpart didn't exist in the US.

There's no benefit in using oxidizer rich over fuel rich in hydromeme engines. The later is simply easier to develop and has basically the same efficiancy and performance. Oxidizer rich when using oxygen is only used when you can't run fuel rich, like with kerolox engines.

I agree its unlikely, but drawing automatic direct analogues to F9 and assuming they will do everything with Super Heavy program like they did with F9 doesn't make sense
IMO they will refly a Super Heavy much quicker than they flew a F9 for many reasons (for example, getting to reuse is an explicit priority now, they already have experience from F9 which is transferrable to Super Heavy)

At the rate SLS is going the next one won't launch till 2027 and theres no way SLS will get people to the moon before trumps term is up. The only chance he's got of being the president who sent america back to the moon is with spacex and starship.

it is likely to have many of the same issues as shuttle tiles, to a lesser degree.
fewer tile designs = lower (probably 0) lead time for replacement parts
they were designed from the start to be easier to swap out.
not being mounted facing the falling debris dispenser should mean catastrophic large groups of damaged tiles should never form

about 24000 fewer unique tiles

Just attach the tiles with velcro. You have a big thing of velcro on the ship hull, then you coat the outside with the white goo that the tiles go on. Then when you're replacing the tiles, you're just peeling off this big velcro mat and rolling a new one onto it. Quick and easy. After all velcro is a true space age material

>A new material called Metaklett is like hook-and-loop (โVelcroโ) made out of steel and much scarier. One side of the material bristles with sharp spikes and the other side has jagged steel brushes. Looking something like the mouth of a prehistoric shark, a square meter of Metaklett can support up to 35 metric tons and withstand heat of up to 800 degrees Celsius. Developed at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, researchers borrowed from the traditional hook-and-loop concept to design a fastener for extreme loads and environments such as automotive, building, or military applications.

Metaklettโs developers say their material is suitable for use in hot environments, such as the automotive or aerospace industries, as well applications that require great strength such as the building trades. Metaklett could also be suitable for use in chemical environments where disinfectants or other harsh materials would destroy traditional hook-and-loop.

What bullshit, none of the space companies can match the launch capability of SpaceX, BO has yet to fly and it'll be years before they can match launch cadence, ULA is not reusable, Small launchers are dead in the water and SLS is fucked. It's not a question of monopoly or anti-trust but simply that SpaceX has out-innovated the competition who is now paying the price for two decades plus of gorging themselves on the pork barrel.

>After the test flight in November 2022 (almost two years after the botched SLS Green Run test), youโll never guess what happened! The heat shield failed in scary and unpredicted ways. NASA is a publicly funded agency and its information is meant to be publicly available. Despite multiple FOIA requests NASA successfully hid this embarrassing information from the public for nearly another two years, before eventually some photos of the damaged heat shield leaked out. It should be noted that this failure was not unexpected, and had been predicted since the material selection in 2009, but NASA management continued, and continues, to kick the can down the road.
>Thereโs a reason that other capsule programs admittance test the heat shield early in development and then freeze the design. Itโs much cheaper to fix problems before the rest of the system is finalized.
>NASA faces a tough choice here. Theyโve already spent two years in deliberations, so perhaps with a few more years of deliberations they can concoct some justification for the failure and sign off on the next flight, which is meant to have living humans on board. NASA has a storied history of moving its pen in just this way, resulting in the loss of shuttles Challenger and Columbia and 14 astronauts.
>Or, they can go back to the contractor Lockheed Martin and ask them to restart development of the entire capsule with a different heat shield material, such as SpaceXโs proven PICA-X. This will delay the capsule for many more years and cost billions more dollars.
>Or, recognizing that even if Orion had worked flawlessly itโs still too heavy and too expensive to do anything useful, so cancel it. Success has never been in the set of possible outcomes, so remind me why we continue to burn billions of dollars on this program every year?

There's so many incentives to lie about this with vested interest to take down Musk and keep the war going. Supposed Russian agents telling wsj reporter. Supposed US and European officials claiming Musk maybe in contact. But nothing on the record.
This reeks of the old "50 former intelligence officials warn NY Post story sounds like Russian disinformation" nonsense that the Biden admin crafted to win the election by trying to discredit the real story of Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family being corrupt in advance.
So whatever the journos say, its the opposite.

Not really. Gaganyaan is a different design than Soyuz but it's not really better in any significant way. India's overall launch rate is still behind Russia's and that doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon. If India gets their Soorya RLV working and if they launch and complete their space station and if Russia doesn't get ROS operational after the ISS gets shut down in 2030, then India will have surpassed Russia. That's a lot of uncertainly about a lot of things that are at least a decade away from happening.

It wonโt be ready to do that by then, but if you want my honest thought:
SLS will fulfill its stupid contracts, I think it and Orion technically only have inked contracts through Artemis 6 (guaranteed) and the after that Artemis 7 and up are still planned for by NASA, but the contracts arenโt written as such. So I think we will get through Artemis VI with SLS and after that they will shift to lunar commercial crew, assuming New Glenn, Vulcan, and/or Starship can get humans to LEO or lunar orbit or whatever and rendezvous with SLD Natty Team and HLS Moonship

It finally got sorted out but its what lead to this, he was literally doing the job of dementia's joe's secretary of state for him. The Russian ambassador phones you, Vlad is on the line with him and wants to know if you're going to enable starlink over Russian territory which would cause a major escalation.

SpaceX VPs giving him the rundown on Flight 5 issues and he just says "wow" while playing Diablo
Also why did he post this, seems like critical info
He said this was the first time the FAA was not the leading factor in the launch date since the start of the Starship program.
They were scared of launching because they didn't have time to review all 100 abort criteria for the landing.
The chimes were covering valves that were critical for the landing burn, so they were worried when one of the covers broke.

Replacing starship tiles can be done in hours (per repair op, installing a single tile alone only takes a few minutes). In a worst case operational scenario, Starship undergoes a 2 hour TPS inspection and refurb after landing, goes back to the pad, and gets stacked. Even in this case they would inevitably find a solution to the problem, even if it needed a total change in TPS material/function.
Anonymous at Sat, 26 Oct 2024 01:04:14 UTC No. 16449839

Long term solution is probably some kind of scanning gantry that passes up and down the heatshield and prints out a list of the exact condition of every tile. Would probably not take long at all.

Real reason, it makes trump look better and he's more likely to get elected. Which is the bottom line, the government departments will pulled off elon's ass. Elon said that they will not like cutting spending and reducing government and will fight back, so he knows the obvious. I think the actual appointment depends on if republicans get an effective majority, and if they are ok with making a department that complains but has no power. Even if they don't make anything more efficient it may look good politically for doge to exist.

My thoughts after listening to the entire video:
He clearly trusts his team (guy rattling off problems they saw, mentions "we have a solve for that" and elon doesn't ask for detail), the catch was lucky (1 second abort but more importantly that sheet metal that was ripped off had been protecting single point of failure critical valves and if anything had been damaged the landing would fail) but they don't have any problems they seem actually worried about, except for floating a 1 day delay of flight 6 to do a more comprehensive review of something technical in the flight control software. No indication of whether this delay will happen, but asking for just 1 day implies they have a short timeline in mind.

She's 53 but that doesn't mean a terrible lot if a woman has taken care of their body (i.e. an astronaut).
Womb-havers usually take contraceptives when in space to avoid menstruation but that's not a guarantee at all. Zero-G could theoretically interfere with the pill's effects, allowing an inseminated egg to implant anyway, and/or drastically increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
I'd say it's possible. The reduced egg implantation from the pill is counteracted by Zero-G increasing chances of implantation elsewhere and reducing gravity assisted "drainage".

They're so utterly far ahead of the entire planet in terms of technology and capability, this piece of "critical info" being out in the public literally cannot harm them. Blue Origin still has only landed a sub-orbital rocket and has no material experience on their docket of orbital class deliveries and reusability profiles, even with all the talent from SpaceX they've managed to capture over the years.
It may seem awkward to share this, but Elon also said in the latest everyday astronaut interview that in the most snarkiest way possible "patents are for the weak." He wouldn't lose any sleep over this disclosure. The only real concern is if this somehow violates ITAR. But his VPs are talking about valves and abort sequences for catching a 70 foot tall booster falling from orbit. Which goes back to the first point of them being so utterly in the next century in terms of technical ability--it could be argued that the disclosure is immaterial until someone other them can prove orbital class VTOL capability WITH payload delivery at Falcon 9 or higher scale.

you wouldn't even need a gantry, just deploy 3 drones and scan the entire heat shield within minutes
i mean spacex already has drones flying around during stacking operations, why not?

you can scan it visually and I guess with lidar to get precise 3d information, colour etc
but what if the tiles are broken in a way that is not directly apparent, but would show up in ultrasound or something? Perhaps they just try to design it in a way so that it doesn't matter, you have the backup ablative underneath if one falls off or breaks and then you just need to do some more extensive repairs

We're not in the 1960's any more, you could embed an individual sensor suite to each tile that logs strain, G loading, temperature and electrical conductivity for fuck all additional cost.

>for fuck all
no, that would increase complexity massively for one
and what if the sensors break? you just assume they work perfectly and wait for the ablative to do its thing if the sensor breaks?
might as well just do that without sensors then

pretty much, just have some sensors underneath the primary heatshield so you know if something broke through to the ablatives.
it all really depends on how well they can get the primary ceramic heatshield working. if it becomes extremely reliable through iteration and you can be 99,9999% sure that a tile won't break in a critical area ealy enough in re-entry to significantly damage the stainless underneath, they will probably do away with the small ablative layer underneath.
if it remains necessary, they will probably make the ablative layer out of smaller pieces that can be individually removed and replaced.
my guess is spacex themselves haven't figured out what they want to do themselves because they don't know the answers themselves and have only just been given an invironment in which to test.
you can see they're experimenting a ton on the heat shield with each flight now, they're trying out what works and what doesn't, something the shuttle was never able to do.
convinces me in time that they will build an impenetrable heatshield with extremely low failure rates that will stand the test of time.
some day, someone's gonna leave a starship in a shed somewhere and then launch it 2000 years later in a movie recreation of spacex's early days. and it will just work flawlessly.

You can fit that entire sensor package in a solid state probe the size of a grain of rice. If the sensor breaks, you measure an average from the adjacent 6 tiles and do your risk assessment by proxy, replacing the defective sensor tile during a later service. And re-engineer the sensor to be more durable.
It doesn't increase complexity massively, it increases data massively and the complexity of the tile a tiny amount, possibly a negligible amount with SpaceX's habit of integration.

A strain sensor the size of a grain of rice won't measure strain over the entire tile.

No, the strain sensor would probably be embedded in the adhesive in larger strips but it's still functionally zero cost and there's minimal downside.
Thinking about it more the sensor package would probably be better off in the adhesive anyway.

by break I mean not necessarily stop giving data, but just break giving wrong information (saying the tile is fine when it isn't as the obvious example)
>And re-engineer the sensor to be more durable.
why not re-engineer the tile to do that? less complexity

Looking back I'm not sure. I thought I'd read somewhere that the rockwool layer had been replaced by an ablative adhesive, but I don't know where I got that.

>>16450269
they have both the rockwool like before and then in like 50% of the ship they have a black ablative, though I don't remember it being adhesive
then you have places like the nosecone where the tiles are put into place with an adhesive instead of the metal pins

The easiest way to do it is to ensure that everyone has good quality of life and take steps to reduce income inequality. You could also offer free transportation back to Earth to encourage malcontents to leave and forcibly deport anyone with obvious behavioral problems. Even if it's not during a synod, just put them on a "slow boat" to Earth.
In the long term it makes sense to structure Mars as a confederation of small societies with independent governments, but with the right (possibly with some restrictions or requiring some payment) to transfer citizenship from one to another, to allow successful ways of life to peacefully displace unsuccessful ones.
