no. the bottleneck right now is regulatory interference. IF that gets cleared up under drumpf so that the future agency that handles spaceflight just basically gives them the go to launch whenever they want, then it will become production speed and number of launch sites that is the limiter. it will never be money, due to musk's warchest and the moneyprinter that is starlink

The only things worth keeping from blue origin would arguably be the results of their materials research.
Like their "Super light completely re-usable fiber heat shield" but even then I don't think that has much application.
Their rocket is a rube goldberg device compared to SpaceX's rockets. I don't know about their other blue lagoon shit and I don't care either.

If he could prove a cow can orbit the moon and return safely to land, maybe that would prove a methane capture unit is a good idea for more than just landfills.
The difficulty is in securing the cow and in providing food, water, maybe a conveyer belt system and work robot to provide emotional support and cleanup duties. I hear they can lift somewhere around 20 kg, IIRC.

He could have kept quiet and let more reasonable people speak for SpaceX's accomplishments and merits to the reasonable people that has regulatory control. Hopefully expelling the crazies.

When was it, it could've been a year or two ago, I asked /sfg/ who wanted to personally go to space, the moon, mars, wherever. I was expecting to hear from mostly people who despite loving space, but were afraid to go. To my surprise, the replies were unanimously affirmation. They seemed equally shocked that I would suggest someone here might not want to go to space.
So I ponder this, were the people who weren't afraid of the violence, the speed, the black abyss outside that will boil the saliva on your tongue and lights out - are they telling me they can't ride a predicted landslide election?

Elon doesn't want to die prematurely and knows that spaceflight will be pretty risky for a while. He wants to die on Mars but won't go until the momentum of the colony effort can carry it past his death.

If he turns into the Soros of the right shit is going to get a lot weirder politically speaking, because nobody with vision has hit the political scene in decades.
He's looking at the next 20 years (which is about all he has left before senescence kicks in) and realizing unless progress goes balls to the wall for those 20 years he will likely not be on Mars when he dies. We're being treated to the rarest of all things: a motivated rich guy. Like Carnegie, Elon knows he can't take it with him.

its not just any motivated rich guy, he is probably going to become the first trillionaire and has succeeded in multiple different separate industries (and looks like this politics thing is going pretty well too)
he might actually be a large part of a general transformation of western politics in general, kind of difficult to estimate what its going to entail though
free speech in Europe too through Americas cultural hegemony? more efficient governments? AGI and humanoid bots are going to come during this 20 years so that complicates things a lot too, though Musk has talked about high universal income (vs basic universal income), but I don't think UBI is generally very popular with the right

SpaceX can run itself now, the most important thing is squeezing the last drops out of America before the money system is fucked and clearing out all the dipshits and laws for a time so he can build giant launch complexes with 24/7 cleared launch corridors and 0 government inteference.

I still think its somewhat unlikely they can change as much as they want to simply because this will probably require multiple changes in law
can people in different agencies be fired freely? if not, then thats pretty different from how Musk runs his companies
maybe if the republicans get the house and senate in a major way and congress is actually behind Trump
simply winning the presidential election won't be enough (helpful for the 4 years sure, but enough to make real changes? I don't know)

I would think it's likely they will fall out again when it's time to execute. They are very much the opposite of each other. Musk is bad at the media game but his ability as a business leader is extraordinary, and it makes Trump seems like a summer ant in comparison. Musk would barely be a billionaire if he had invested his PayPal money in S&P 500. Trump hasn't beaten the market with his inheritance.
If Trump is willing to be a Reagan like figurehead and not assert himself things could work out.

I'm laughing over here as the Musk Cultists keep moving the goal posts. We went from 100 tons cargo to orbit by 2023 to kvetching over how regulators are blocking all their progress and how it doesn't matter that Starship isn't launching cargo to space because being a tanker is OK and all we need right now....except it's not. On top of the fact that Space X has yet to send a fully loaded tanker into a stable orbit. I don't think they can. Elon has basically achieved 1953 levels of space exploration.
In 1961 Soviet Russia sent Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin around the Earth for a full orbit and 108 minute flight. He then returned safely to the Earth. Space X and Starship haven't done this and can't do this. It's a literal stainless steel beer can. There are no crew capabilities and no real cargo capabilities. They have had huge issues controlling the spin of Starship once it separates and filling it with liquid will only make that feedback loop worse.
Our society doesn't reward smart independent critical thinkers. It rewards compliant NPCs who don't ask questions. That's why our world sucks and why science and discovery have stalled and died in the hot summer sun.

I live in a sort of rural area and got Starlink when it was beta since all that was available was 20mb dsl. It was great and I had it until earlier this year when gigabit fiber came to town thanks to government subsidy. So they are competing with terrestrial ISPs in underserved areas. Plus their increasing domination in plane and ship internet and the starshield constellation.

centaur v delivered most of the way to an earth escape by starship would be doing direct transfers to kuiper belt objects.
American space capability in general would be so powerful if politics were put away. All the oldpsace clowns could focus up on making a LEM ripoff and could have done artemis 3 half a decade ago by flying the LEM on falcon heavy. The LEM for Artemis would need more delta v than the OG, so worst case scenario launch the ascent and decent stages separately and mate them around the moon before orion arrives. Instead we have the clownshow of having to develop an all new sueprheavy lift launch vehicle and land its skyscraper upper stage on the moon because oldspace are a no-show and Blue Origin won't cooperate with SpaceX.

Sorry for not spelling this out more clearly. The question is explicitly not about using existing cellphones and not about being limited to the planned size of the starlink constellation.
Obviously you would want to use more satellites (the launch capacity will exist shortly) and use different frequencies, protocols, hardware, etc.

Slightly different than the others. Capesize/ULCC also exists which are too big for anything and spend nearly their entire lives at sea. Maybe we'll see Staship variants like this.

>For this reason, SpaceX may attempt to vertically land Starship elsewhere first. There have been rumors about a partnership with Australia, and one source told Ars that SpaceX was scouting the Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean earlier this year. Such locations would allow for a safer return of Starship to land. However, such an approach would also necessitate landing legs.

They kept shrinking the design because it was in development hell for half a decade and manufacturing 12m carbon compsite tanks was too hard. Switching to stainless was a bold decision of despiration, but by thne the design was already undersized.
the 12m ITS is the minimum viable diameter to make the archietecture work. Not scrapping the smaller designs in favor of a staniless ITS was Elons biggest mistake. Pencilship will never make it to Mars landing. Meanwhile ITS was built with big wide landing legs from the get go.
ITS had the form and performance to be the universal space ship, and now they will have to jerry rig a pencilship for each niche application raising the cost of everything

shuttle has the perfect backside, amazing bubble butt uncomparible to to others, which flexes when she takes off. but she is a bit stuck up and doesnt put out due to all the attention she gets. buran has a small rear which she is ashamed about, but she is really jealous of shuttle and wants badly to do better than her in every way.

2nd, 1st was Gui Haichao for Shenzhou 16 in 2023
>From 2014 to 2017, Gui Haichao was successively a postdoctoral researcher with the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering, York University, Toronto, Canada, and the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Ryerson University (Toronto Metropolitan University since 2022), Toronto. Since 2017, he has been an associate professor with the School of Astronautics, Beihang University. His research interests include spacecraft dynamics, nonlinear control, and estimation theory, with an emphasis on applications to space systems.[4][5]

Once again, GAO reveals what nasa tries to keep secret. God bless.
With this nugget of new info I think I got a good idea of whats going on with the heatshield. Heat penetrating deeper into an ablative heatshield would cause pockets of superheated gas to build up under the surface and eventually pop like a pimple. Just like I expected this isn't an issue that can be solved by just rejiggering the entry angle, gonna need a full heatshield redesign.

It's an odd feeling. On the one hand, I want it to be done now. On the other hand, "done" means a truly sustainable presence in space for all time. The genie doesn't go back in the bottle. China would aspire to it, other companies would aspire to it. It's the hardest part of operating in space solved, because every problem downstream can be solved with more mass. Normies online talk like it's a lunar lander, but it's a human presence in space for eternity.

because the point of an o'neil cylinder is that it's a spaceship where you DON'T fly. there was one episode of babylon 5 where they did something like this but i think it was too confusing for the audience.

You need to process the stuff too. Unless you're fully self sustaining, Earth is involved. You need the machines to maintain or replicate your station with undifferentiated space rocks as the input. This is a tall order. I don't see something like that being built just to hang out, I'm sure it'll happen but it'll immediately be propelled towards Epsilon Eridani

They've got a regular launch cadence going on now since they're keeping their station continuously crewed, but Shenzhou-1 launched in November of 1999, and the first crewed launch was in 2003. China's manned spaceflight didn't really move out of testing and into operational missions until 2021.

I was just checking this. they launch twice a year, every 6 months. Soyuz also launches every 6 months and Dragon launches crew to the ISS every 6 months (not counting Axiom and other private costumers). So all of them launch twice a year for 6 manned space flights a year +1 because SpX on average launches a dragon 3 times a year, only 2 for NASAs ISS expeditions. Boeing hasnt got a launch cadance yet. I wonder if they would replace a SpX launch to the ISS per year
