I honestly don't understand it either. And before anyone gets on my case, take your blinders off and look at how this political system actually operates. Look at Trump's biggest donors. They aren't Elon. Hell, fucking one of them doesn't even have an official public image (I'm not making that up). All Elon is doing is creating a sycophantic image of himself concerning Trump that is largely going to backfire because Trump's literally never shown loyalty to anyone before for more than a few months. People will literally destroy their careers and lives for this dude, and he couldn't give less of a shit. At least with the Dems you can literally buy their loyalty, and not be a jackass about it. Just go right down the middle, give money to both sides, be quiet about it, and no one gets angry at you on top of being able to call in political favors regardless of the outcome potentially. That's how this has always been done, we only hear about the people who make a lot of noise because they're the outliers. Liberal media literally couldn't give less of a shit if you donated to Trump so long as you also donated to their candidates too.

The schism between the two might be inevitable looking at Trump's history with his loyalists but how bad it is depends on how much Elon "interfered" with Trump's administration. So far Elon's agenda and Trump's are aligned but with the efficiency agency promise, that might be where things can get messy with all the strings attached.

This was a bigger problem for him than donating to get relief from the unions or 3 letter state agencies. His unforgivable sin was buying twitter and capturing their best information weapon that becomes better and better as time goes on and tv/publications sunset. If you think twitter to X made a big difference for 2024, wait until 2028. Other than making an everything app like china, free speech is a common essential American value and I really think that's one of the reasons he bought it. You've surely heard elon's professed reasons for his gambit, but you said nothing about them. He didn't like the woke mind virus destroying urban california and making it impossible to do business there while leading his son to transgenderism. Twitter was a way for California to rule what felt like the town center for half the planet and steer public sentiment, whether that ever made sense or not. Open borders was a path to more Californias. How much would he have to donate to the dems to stop all of their plans for domination? The things he wants he can only buy from trump. If he's right that they were close to achieving uniparty control then there would be no competitor to go to.

Trump started this coming moon mission remember? They were able to keep it alive during the biden administration. If we have 8 years of R from here that's easy mars, if it's only 4 years nasa will have to be creative. There's room for hardware pork in the mars mission because spacex at best could only do rockets, ships, and suits.
>Its funny you say that when musk literally lives off federal spending.
I think he said, 2 trillion off 6 trillion. There's so much stuff to get to before musk cannibalizes himself. And that would be EV incentive shit if that happens, which I don't think tesla even needs. He's the lowest bidder and best product for space so that's the beginning and end of that conversation.

realistically, colonizing mars in elon's lifetime is going to require a much larger economy than america currently has. the gop probably won't be able to pull it off, although you can always hold out hope for some ai-fueled growth explosion. but it's never going to happen under the democrats as they're currently constituted - not the same party that spent $5 billion to build 7 EV charging stations, or $11 billion to build 0 miles of high-speed rail track, or $40 billion to give 0 people rural broadband access. until the democrats are wiped out and forced to totally reboot, they have proven beyond disputation that they have no interest in achieving anything big as a nation. they're only interested in making sure that success is rationed out according to their sex and racial quotas.
as long as boeing and bezos play nice, the democrats might even be friends to some limited space program. but they're the enemies of ambition.

Starlink's looking like taking a sizeable chunk of global telecom revenue over the next 5-10 years, maybe 20-30%. Potentially much more but we don't want to get our hopes up.
Which is a big number. Would value SpaceX on the market somewhere between 10 and 30 trillion. Enormous cost reductions as well, as telecom companies currently run well into the red due to the enormous cost of physical infrastructure and maintenance.
SpaceX should be able to scrape by.

Telecoms sell debt. A fiber install can cost upwards of 30 thousand dollars in Australia, but the company and their upstream distributor takes on that debt on the understanding that you'll then be paying ~100 dollars per month (hopefully) forever, eventually paying down their liability.
The reason this is possible at all is because there's nothing better than fiber, and once someone has a fiber install they're a fiber customer for life. Best latency, best reliability, durable hardware.
It's a business model that completely and utterly shits the bed if a competitor comes along. The competitor doesn't even have to be better, they just have to take a relatively small percentage of customers away and the companies go bankrupt real fucking quick.
Most telecom companies are balanced on a knife edge. Starlink meanwhile continues to march onwards towards sub-50ms latency globally while not having any of this complete garbage sucking away progress.
There's part of my retarded take.

Starlink has some extra charge for "congested areas" but apparently they're trying to stop that. I guess it's literally to stop so many people around urban areas from signing up until they have sufficient infastructure.
I was thinking of getting the small panel, starlink mini, but it's still really expensive for what it is. But then again, there is no competition in reality if you want portable satellite internet because the alternatives are painfully slow. I guess it's actually not that bad, but the initial charge is expensive considering they're getting it direct to the devices in the next few years so the panel is worthless. Poorfag problems. Cost nearly £500 to get started, the £96 a month of £50 a month for 50GB.

Kino, trying to do my first duna landing over the next few days. Been building a few and landing them on Mun to get more of a feel for if they'll make it. I think my final stage is too big with not enough delta v. How much delta v would I need from orbit for Duna and back? I have ~4250, ap 180k, pe 70km.

If you use an optimum transfer window, and only use aerobraking to capture at duna & kerbin, it should be ~3300dV. 1100 to get a duna atmosphere intercept, and 2200 back (incl. ascent, 60km orbit, and optimum transfer to kerbin atmosphere intercept

Thoughts on doing an Astronomy degree in my spare time? I'm guessing it's mostly going to be physics and math. I was going to do biology because that's been largely what I've done in the past but I'm excited at the challenge of learning something I've never really done to any extent. Long term neet at the moment, I may as well do something productive that can give me a career ones the meds are figured out. Might just be a meme but it's stem and I'm sure I could easily blag a career from it in the end. Plus the university has a really nice observatory I want to use.

I hope your spatial reasoning skills are well-developed, because astronomy math (and advanced physics) will be far beyond anything you've had to deal with in the past. If you do observing you're obviously going to lose a lot of sleep over your career. Line up an internship somewhere to make sure this is something you want to do the rest of your life. In recent years the size of the field has grown and shrank dramatically as funding has been messed with. You'll need to become very familiar with how the grant game is played

He is reddit manifest.
His field is the life cycle of stars.
His dissertation was calculating how to count stars.
That is all he fucking knows. Every other topic he talks about, he is uneducated in and unqualified to do so. Which explains why he's such a fucking retard.
Everything good about him is just rephrasing Carl Sagan or repeating reddit factoids.
There is zero original thought in that man. He doesn't understand physics, he's fucking retarded when it comes to biology, he just plain makes up history, and he's caught frequently in the middle of lies (especially when it concerns his ego).
He met Carl Sagan once. He was in the same room as him another 2-3 times. Carl Sagan wrote him a letter when he was a teenager because Carl Sagan wrote everyone who was interested in space letters.
The difference is that NDT inflated this to being "mentored" by Carl Sagan, and the lie became so deep that in the end it landed him the job as "black science man" in the modernized Cosmos series.
Before Cosmos he even wrote that he was mentored by Sagan into one of his books. Since Cosmos, because he's been called out on it so much, he's very careful about explaining that he was *never* mentored by Sagan and he was just an inspiration.
But the damage is done already. His entire career is shit. There are real science communicators out there, alive or dead, that are a hundred times more rigorous, inspirational and honest. On top of that, they won't teach you to be a pompous know-it-all.

Real scale kerbol system with unmodified stock parts is very fun. The stock parts all seem to be pressure fed which gives extremely tight delta v margins.

Musk is notoriously overoptimistic. A realistic appraisal of the space situation is that the tech is so far away that its worth doing almost anything else over space stuff. SpaceX is moving mountains and doing miracles, but still, Starship is basically capable of Apollo Von Braun style and not much beyond that. Economically viable settlement on other worlds is still distant science fiction.

imagine being him.
you're one of the only human beings to touch down on a celestial body, it happened decades ago, with the combined might of western engineering excellence. you've slowly watched all your friends and fellow astronauts die, and the dream die with it as funding for spaceflight dips.
you've watched the shuttle fail to deliver on it's promise as well as killing more astronauts.
you've seen spacex's rise to power and success at making space exciting again (and also way cheaper).
then when spacex dares to take the next step and fulfill the lost future you were promised with it's new vehicle (see the OP), all those lefties who kept harping on about le cosmos and le basedence all these years while spitting on the bare notion of increasing space funding, try to stop it, because they're petty and don't like the guy running the show.
it's pretty obvious what he was going to vote for, he wants to see mankind take the next step before his deathbed, he could disagree with literally everything else in trump's agenda and still vote for him, this is the final straw, no more lost futures.

Would have rounded out the originally planned 12,000 sat constellation, assuming no losses and only launching the original design.
There have obviously been losses, and design revisions mean F9 can't launch 60 anymore, but it's pretty wild to see that number of launches actually in play. I remember in 2019 watching the first ones go up, thinking "damn, 200 launches just for Starlink is going to be a huge undertaking, I wonder how long that'll take," and it turns out the answer was five years. F9 cadence progress is absolutely unreal.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress reads like 1712 rehearshal of individualist assertion against people oppressing and stomping the freedoms of others and Starship troopers is like someone threw into a blender a load of militaristic values, styles and ideas from around the globe and built a world around what came out of that.
After I finish reading a book about technocracy I will check "have spacesuit will travel" but now I come with certain expectations after reading the aforementioned.

He had a weird mix of esoteric individualist views, which he'd summarize by just saying that he was a libertarian because it was simpler than explaining in detail. He liked the idea of maximizing individual freedom to the point where he found a lot of fans in the counterculture, but he also liked a strong, militarized world government as a means of avoiding nuclear war. He probably most at home in the lib-right political quadrant, and honestly, that really lines up with a lot of the kinky shit he was exploring in some of his later works.

It was retorical, anybody that has gone through military life for anything beyond a contract or a lifetime understands that individualism has a top limit. So unless he was positing the idea that people are free as long as others are not, it is schizophrenic.

There is no data on micro-g fetal and childhood development. There is no data on partial-g fetal and childhood development.
Micro-g is probably pretty bad, looking at long term effects on adults. Partial-g is basically an unknown, and it's possible that any significant gravity is enough to give the body enough of a physiological "signal" to properly maintain and grow itself. Moon kids might be unable to exist on Earth for any significant length of time, or they might acclimate within a month, we just don't fucking know because the government has failed to conduct research on this so far.
Absolute worst-case scenario, preggos and children have to live in rotating creches. This is basically as simple as building a circular train track in a bowl.

How is SpaceX most likely to transport Starship stages to the pad at 39A once it's complete and ready to go? My assumption is that they'll just carry them separately on SPMTs on the regular road like at Starbase and take the path indicated in the screencap through the gate I assume is in the fence off to the right of the main front gate.
This is, of course, assuming they'll be coming from the direction of the VAB.

>I dropped out twice so dont want to talk about it
Dropped out of uni twice, college twice and fucked up some career opportunites along the way. Each time was very much due to people, recently I've been diagnosed with bipolar, they are certain of ADHD and autism but that takes far longer than psychiatric disorders. I was an alcoholic from 18-feb this year, so about 6 years or so. Now being given meds and treatment. It makes me realise that it's basically hammering a square peg into a round hole endlessly when you try to be a normie so you've got to do everything in your own way. At least this has been my revelation. We're brought up in contrast to that idea, we must all be very similar and if not it's like a pack of dogs that nip at you, blame you for things and totally misunderstand you. Such a simple change in mindset, feel like a brainlet for not understanding this without a spacker lady telling me I'll never fit in,
I'm sure you have it in you and I hope you will succeed. I don't know your situation but I empathise. I don't think being a normie is all it's cracked up to be. Probably the sense of belonging wherever you go is the best part.

If I like doing something I will do that with no care for anything else in the world including meals, washing exercise etc. If I don't like doing something or it's stressful it's like paralysis. Doing things underpressure is extremely helpful too.
ADHD is bonkers but I think practically everyone has it to some degree like a spectrum. The high functioning in society I believe is very much down to their neurochemistry combined with intelligence, but their neurochemistry is so underappreciated and intelligence is given too much credit.

New Glenn is 45 tonnes to LEO.
On paper. Discarding second stage.
Not only are they not going to hit that 45 tonne target for another 1-5 years, but in the spirit of fair comparisons if you expend Starship second stage (Cheaper than expending New Glenn's second stage) it can launch 45 tonnes directly to Jupiter.

the new engines aren't significantly more efficient, but they are significantly more powerful. it's more like upgrading the engine in the car from 200hp to 300hp, but MPG has only gone up 5%. Once raptor 3 is common they should be on ship v3 with the longer payload AND tank length

the door opens inward and because the payload bay is mostly air tight it made the door too ahrd to open in space and broke the mechanism.

Sure, they would have to ramp up their production with more air separation units (more paperwork??). But this is only half of the issue, there's also the part about methane.
https://www.energy-cg.com/NorthAmer
According to this, and using the year 2019 as reference, 3 Starships a day would be almost twice the daily average of US demand for methane.I've heard there were plans to install a pipeline that could bring in methane from Brownsville LNG terminals, so that you don't need a gorillion trucks coming in every day, though I'm afraid this could end up being a regulatory nightmare.

so putting your dick up a girls ass and making love to her guts is actually hygenic and based.
vaginal is for procreation with the right one. Would you actually want to procreate with 20T to LEO Starship?

Sad. She's clearly not the one. The closest thing to sex she should ever get is mercilessly flicking her clit while getting done up the butt.
Can't even carry a payload. Can't even avoid flap burnthrough. Can't even land at the tower!

Aren't they planning a taller version later though? Seems like this one is sort of a temporary design with testing prioritized over payload. Presumably so they don't have to modify the tower until later.

I understand why Starship has no payload: Air weights 1.3kg/m^3, which means with 1 cubic kilometer of payload volume, at lift-off, Starship is pushing uphill more than 1000000 tonnes of air!

Eager unironically has one of the best videos on this topic, the tl:dr is that reusing your second stage has MASSIVE payload penalties.
Fully expending a rocket that is normally fully reused does something like triple the LEO payload.
