Fun fact you can just ignore ESGfag, CSS, Kolodny, flat earthers, apollo deniers etc now, now that Elon and SpaceX won big it just doesn't matter what they have to say anymore, ESG/kolodny and other seethers writing their articles were only ever worth arguing with when the Dems could use their contrived bullshit half-assed accusations to go after SpaceX or Blue for minor shit out of petty political reasons and now thats just not gonna happen cause they lost - bigly

I mean, what does that even have to do with space? I get it, nobody wants air empires where the Muskrat king gets to decide if your dome asphyxiates if you call him a name, or destruction of alien ecosystems for profit, but the wonderful thing about space is that it belongs to everyone, so nothing's stopping those guys from eventually forming a commune in some O'Neil or ice moon. Hell, I'd wager a stable society of the type serious space settlement requires would naturally gravitate toward something like what they want, since Australian aboriginal-type tribes are our "natural" social setup, and any serious violent conflict off-Earth is likely to just end up with everyone in the colony dead

Leftists of this stripe are anti-positive sum: their ideal society is one where everyone is equally poor because then there's no injustice. Once people start creating new things, then inequalities arise. Spaceflight is particularly dangerous to them because it lacks any clear upper bound. With terrestrial extractive industries they can argue that the supply is finite (even though the Earth has absolutely immense resources which are now-unprofitable mainly because of political or technological limits that can be removed), but with space it's plainly obvious that the potential for growth is functionally infinite.
They usually frame these insidious views within the context of some clear historical injustice that most people oppose—i.e. colonialism is bad because it harmed the native peoples. But their true objection to colonialism is that the European pursuit of advancement and empire was per se immoral, essentially because humans shouldn't seek greatness. Ironically it's a position which derives from Christian theology (Protestant, really: Catholicism embraced Aristotelian virtue ethics with Aquinas and never looked back), which is why it sounds so utterly ass-backwards; it's logic makes sense only if you accept axiomatically that humans are evil and human advancement is bad.

House is still in the air. In the Senate they will have a comfortable majority, but not enough to get around the filibuster. It probably matters little for spaceflight, since support for it tends to be bipartisan (that's not to say D and R support yield equally good policy). Trump seems genuinely enthusiastic about spaceflight and that should be enough. Also, the main driver of spaceflight right now is private industry, which will benefit massively from reduced regulatory burdens that can be achieved without any Congressional action.

Simple solution: Tell HR you're autistic and lawyer up. Buy one of these audio recorders (it's a lot more menacing than just pulling out your phone to record), put it on the table during the meeting, look at them in the eyes and say these exact words "my attorney requested that I record this meeting". HR is all hot shit until you remind them you're a protected class and threaten legal action. Make sure you CC your company's legal team too to inform them you've lawyered up, legal can and will often times tell HR roasties to shut the fuck up.
t. autist that got in trouble at work, and the second I CC'd my attorney on an email chain, my managers started avoiding eye contact with me unless absolutely necessary.

"The temperature on Mars can range from -225°F (-153°C) to 70°F (20°C), but the average is around -85°F (-65°C). The temperature on Mars varies greatly because of its thin atmosphere"

The steel alone would be worth 100x more left on mars than returned and reused, rapid reuse will only be needed for the orbital lifters and refuelling ships from earth. There might be benefits in creating a depot of spare parts from the landed ships in LMO just incase a ship lost a few tiles or a raptor burnt out but not in returning a whole ship just to send it to mars again.
Mars return will only be a sure thing for the ships carrying the first astronauts.

that reminds me, anime series love to do official collabs. if spacex does an anime character, then it's unlikely to be a pre-existing one, but millions of people watching every launch does provide a strong incentive for an official collab...
it wouldnt be out of place either, because you see similar characters cropping up more and more these days. like we had hololive characters opening for an MLB game, and genshin impact branding at mcdonalds.

>The bottom line is that no one knows today how space programs and policies will fare in a second Trump term. Trump is enthusiastic about the U.S. Space Force, sending people to Mars, and Elon Musk. In his first term, he was not enthusiastic about NOAA or NASA’s STEM education program or some of its science projects, especially earth science.
>Trump will have to decide if he wants to keep the National Space Council or not. If he does, by law the Vice President chairs it. Then-Vice President Pence played a major role in space policy in the first Trump term. Incoming Vice President JD Vance does not appear to have any background in space, but Pence’s was limited when he became chair so that is not necessarily an indicator of what Vance might do.

All we know for sure is that the alternative was just more neglect. Trump is very open to public/private partnerships to get things done quickly. Unfortunately, those partnerships are often exploited. (Or unsuccessful in Congress -- Trump's first term infrastructure plan went nowhere.) Elon is seizing this opportunity with both hands. The problem, of course, is still Congress. Debt ceiling gets hit before January. Trump will have to pull off a miracle his first hundred days in office: an actual budget instead of a continuing resolution. I suspect the SLS will get sacrificed on this altar. Who will be our Augustine this time?

Today I learned that NASA can detect gravity waves from storms in the atmosphere.
https://science.nasa.gov/science-re
>NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment, or AWE, recorded enormous swells in the atmosphere that the hurricane produced roughly 55 miles above the ground. Such information helps us better understand how terrestrial weather can affect space weather, part of the research NASA does to understand how our space environment can disrupt satellites, communication signals, and other technology.
"Launched in November 2023 and mounted on the outside of the International Space Station, the AWE instrument looks down at Earth, scanning for atmospheric gravity waves, ripple-like patterns in the air generated by atmospheric disturbances such as violent thunderstorms, tornadoes, tsunamis, wind bursts over mountain ranges, and hurricanes. It does this by looking for brightness fluctuations in colorful bands of light called airglow in Earth’s mesosphere. AWE’s study of these gravity waves created by terrestrial weather helps NASA pinpoint how they affect space weather."
>These views of gravity waves from Hurricane Helene are among the first publicly released images from AWE, confirming that the instrument has the sensitivity to reveal the impacts hurricanes have on Earth’s upper atmosphere.
Anons, is it true that the incoming Trump administration is hostile to NOAA for some reason? I seem to remember someone in a previous thread mentioning this, or maybe I read that elsewhere.
I certainly hope they aren't, the GOES satillites are very important for several reasons including space weather.
There certainly would be no good reason to be adversarial, considering the importance of GOES.

these waves in the atmosphere is caused by gravitational flux
>In the Earth's atmosphere, gravity waves are a mechanism that produce the transfer of momentum from the troposphere to the stratosphere and mesosphere. Gravity waves are generated in the troposphere by frontal systems or by airflow over mountains.
>effects can be small-scale (like the generation of gravity waves by convection)
>this momentum deposition by planetary-scale Rossby waves gives rise to sudden stratospheric warmings and the deposition by gravity waves gives rise to the quasi-biennial oscillation

Artemis is only about $7B per year which is minuscule compared to the waste that's going on in the rest of the government. The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment act spent $42 billion dollars to connect zero homes to high speed internet, and that was only one small part of Biden's infrastructure omnibus plan. Two BEADs is roughly equal to the entire Artemis budget to date. Washington spent about the same amount as Artemis' yearly budget on a program that built eight EV charging stations. Washington's budget is a target-rich environment and Artemis is WAY down the list.
As much as I hate the politics that created it, SLS shouldn't get axed right away. It needs to be replaced with a more economical commercial solution but that's going to take time to spin up no matter what architecture is used. Just cutting Gateway, EUS, and ML-2 saves a lot of money while still allowing Artemis 2 and 3 to launch as-is with hardware that's already under construction. That will give everyone time to not have to rush a better option.
There's also the wildcard poised by Orion's heat shield issue. That's got a better chance to sink the program than the current budget issues.

that "radiation" is one of the things that cause air to descend slightly from higher to lower, which is the atmospheric wave, and it's caused in large part by the movement and evaporation of the liquid waters that cover most of our planet
this effect causes energy and momentum to be tranferred vertically as a function of this ocillation

Why does it have to be commercial? There is only SpaceX and others are jokes.
Not having to reuse every stage makes any misison much easier. NASAs job should be to push with non reusable missions which commercial can't do.
SLS still has potential to be better than Saturn V if they build a proper upper stage and force the program to launch at least 5x a year.
If there are boeing shaped bottlenecks making that impossible then NASA should make deep space upper stages for Superheavy.

The reward for Elon winning his gamble is... another gamble. As long as he's in Trump's good graces he'll have the run of the roost in terms of how space policy is constructed. On the other hand, he realistically has 4 years to land on the moon and make progress towards Mars. It'll be less than 4 years if he has a falling out with Trump. Once that window is over, the liberals will basically annihilate him if he hasn't accomplished enough.

SLS will stay the focus of Artemis for the next few years by momentum alone before any political manoeuvres can be made. iirc Hullo made a point about offering production for USAF's new ICBM to the SRB cartel in exchange for ditching SLS and then retooling SLS production for station building.
All of that being contingent on Starship exceeding current performance, arriving on budget and massive expenditure of political capital.

I think it's the elevation of 'white trash' culture (i dont mean that in a demeaning way). Trump is popular and relatable because he has no taste. He decorates his house and his women the way someone from a trailer park would do if they suddenly got a billion dollars. It's something we will see a lot more in furture due to trends in birth rate. That bimbo look is the exact same way women from white trash parts of the UK have looked for decades.

The only thing I forecast is elon is more libertarian and trump is more authoritarian, and if trump does something crazy elon could care that he's going to be held responsible for this time line. But last time BLM trashed cities and went up to the white house, trump didn't take the bait to use the guard, or was talked out of it. Other than that the trump administration was pretty normal but covid panic killed it. And as long as trump isn't losing something like J6 doesn't happen.

It was more to do with cost of rebar. Remember that Elon created SpaceX out of spite by looking at the cost of raw materials and the cost of general labor to put together a rocket based. It's what his "high idiot index" is derived from. So when the cost of rebar for building concrete exceeded the idiot index, he would just push back on it hard. When an organization scales to the vision of Starship, certain costs become rounding errors, but Elon thinking from first principles and being a cost efficient engineer, will still periodically question why certain cost exists even if one shouldn't care because of the rounding error. One that over time, because of Starlink, will become insignificantly irrelevant. Like fractions of a penny on a dollar levels of irrelevant.
His autism, which is his greatest strength, can also sometimes be his greatest weakness. The fact that the rebar issue never appeared again after his engineers figured out that the way to get around this issue is to simply reduce the cost per order down into a number that satisfies Elon's cutoff for the High Idiot Index, and then they, using it as a trojan horse to breach the gates of troy, could scale those cost orders to as high as they want to get the job done.
I'd argue that the concept of rebar will be universal for any construction for generations to come until we figure out something better than concrete as an all-in-one material. It's foundational to all construction projects and it exists in order to strength a system so that it can handle shocks better and also transfer energy through the core channels (because metal is more ductile than concrete) into the ground below.
Elon wanted to skip using rebar, because its a cost that exists and Elon's all about cutting costs to increase efficiency, performance, velocity, and production. To support 1M people on Mars before he dies, towers can't be taking months. He wants it to be weeks. Rebar complicates that. Hence the "dislike" of it.

Even Petabits/sec connectivity is a stepping stone. Truly, it will need eXabit/sec connectivity. But in all seriousness, it's amazing that SpaceX/Starlink teams are already thinking of the technology path that would get us towards Pbps bandwidth on a PER satellite basis, when Gen3 Starlinks are expected to be only around 150Gbps. So a 10x improvement over current capability.

Yes and time to move on from the losers. Paying attention to losers have no merit. Its just DEI shit. Meritless and included in conversational for diversity of thought when that thought had no proven merit in the first place. If things were uncontested, there might be some place for diversity of thought, but the horse has been beaten repeatedly and yet the DEI cult keeps bring up the losers.

Maybe with KSP2 they could have done it, but KSP1 was pretty much a solo dev, at least at the start, and implementing Keplerian orbits is already a pain in the ass by itself.
The orbit themselves are simple enough, but when you start calculating seemingly simple stuff like closest approaches between 2 spacecrafts, it's already enough to give you huge headaches (I know because I did it...)

So nothing actually changes at NASA, right? Congress wants the money wasted (spent in their states). The absurd cost of the 1B tower was basically forced on NASA by Congress. What could you actually change at NASA while still getting congress to pass the budget? MSR and SLS have to stay.

People keep saying this but hell naw, I don’t see a human mars landing before the next election. 4 years would be a huge speedrun, extremely ambitious.
Trump will get the Artemis III (maybe IV lol) “return to the Moon”. Trump will get the 250th anniversary of the US of A. And he will, no doubt, get to make the kennedy-tier speech about going to Mars ‘before the decade is out’.
But he’s not getting a mars landing, even if it’s a priority. I’m a 2 and I like to think I’m being realistic here. Only a 1 believes it could happen that fast

The only way to do it on his term would be the 2026 window. The spacecraft wouldn't make it to mars in time if launched in 2028. I guess he meant legacy in the sense of having kickstarted it (even though SpaceX is going to do it anyway).

In a perfect world these things would be outside of the realm of politics, but we live in a nasty world where space is bottom of the totem pole. It would take two seconds for him to buddy up with Elon and staple on some sort of “let’s go” attitude with SpaceX, and that would mean it would get continued political support as it becomes a “GOP” thing to support space

i remember a post on this general a little while ago comparing these reactions to the way peasants regarded chemical reactions back in the day.
they don't actually understand or know anything, so to them, seeing this guy that all the media keep telling you is a failure and an idiot succeed must seem like literal magic.
they actually genuinely are confused, they can't admit that they might be wrong or might not know something so the only other alternative is magic, he must somehow magically be bending reality to his will rather than just being a smart person who generally makes pragmatic decisions.

>Although he may not have a cabinet-appointed position, Musk will have a broad portfolio in the new administration for as long as his relations with Trump remain positive. This gives Musk extraordinary power over a number of areas, including spaceflight. Already this week, he has been soliciting ideas and input from colleagues. The New York Times reported that Musk has advised Trump to hire key employees from SpaceX into his administration, including at the Department of Defense. This reflects the huge conflict of interest that Musk will face when it comes to space policy. His actions could significantly benefit SpaceX, of which he is the majority owner and has the final say in major decisions.

for a short while, they'll realize they've lost and he won, and that he's not some bumbling fool, that he's smarter than them and that's why his victories are confusing and annoying to EDSers.
then they'll slowly pick up the scrambled remains of their internal narratives, and concoct new ones where he's totally going to fail this time. the cope can never truly stop, it must eventually be renewed, most people are simply too scared of going through paradigm shifts like this, they'll crawl back into their hole as soon as they think they've constructed a new lie they can fool themselves with.

You mean besides the fact that Uranus is on its side?
We can tell the interior of Uranus is different, that it is more massive and that its gravity is uneven.
Uranus likely has the cores of several smaller bodies mashed on to it similar to how we can tell where the remains of Theia are in the Earth.

>Multiple hypotheses have been offered to explain the small mass of Mars.
yeah, but they're not going to tell you about this one
Mars had it's entire northern hemisphere blown off when it came into proximity with a massive celestial body unknown to modern science, a very long time ago.
There were enormous electrical arcs that passed between these two bodies, because they had different charges, and the evidence for this event is the monumental scarring that leads from the heart of Valles Marineris into the northern hemisphere.
Something that is impossible for normal geological forces as we are familiar with them to produce even on the scale of billions of years.
This is the reason why Mars is alone in our solar system (as a planetary body) in having a non-active dynamo.

I believe that the moon landing with Artemis III should be a good enough argument for them to support spaceflight again. What SpaceX accomplished so far is impressive but at the end of the day, the general audience wanted a more visible, breaking news-worthy proof of achievement and I think the first moon landing in decades is a good thesis for that. And with that Dems have no excuse but to keep going.

SpaceX is unlikely to go public before he dies, so independent of the valuation, even as said valuation grows, his worth/cash flow there will be entirely speculative. Tesla, if it solves autonomy, will push him easily to 1Tn alone. If he does spin off Starlink from SpaceX to avoid anti-trust at some point in the next decade or two, then that'll easily push him to 1.5-2Tn. X if it gets approved for banking and he achieves his original vision with Paypal/Zip2 from back in the day with it, another 1-200Bn on top of that. X.Ai if it ends up becoming an OpenAI competitor and goes public, another 2-300Bn on top of that. Boring eventually will probably go public, another 100Bn from that as its tech is used for Moon/Mars excavation projects additional to Earth.
Very likely that by the time Musk reaches the end of life, his networth will be ballpark $5Tn. He'll go down in history as the greatest man who ever lived.

Boring is a potential sleeping giant. Investment value in it and growth is subject to solved autonomy and more consistent flights of Starship/HLS platforms. The tunnels carved out by the Borers are 3m wide approximately, about the size of an average room. Which is actually a lot of space for carving out tunnels on the Moon or Mars be they directly from the surface or pushing the hardware offworld, lowering them into a lava tube and then carving out arteries and capillaries from the central chamber in order to build out mining/manufacturing hubs or hydro/aquaponics channels to support the central chamber.

>the current blocking factor is the cost of tunneling
If that's only it, then Boring Company alone would be the one enabling the possibility for a future Hyperloop. After all, they made it quite clear that their main intention was bringing the time and cost of tunneling orders of magnitude down, instead of focusing on what to put inside the tunnels (remember gary the snail? lmao). Civil engineering and tunneling is not my area, so I could be wrong, but I also thought that the main obstacle in Hyperloop was the design itself? As in, they had problems achieving the desired specs, either in a vacuum or in a low-pressure environment, given the current state of material science?

Although, now that I think about it, and extrapolating Musk's other successful ventures, it might be that Boring and Hyperloop are just what SpaceX would be today if Musk had never put effort into it. Perhaps Hyperloop is possible right now, but could require thousands of man-hours, billions of dollars, and lots of time and dedication from Musk's autistic brain. From the point of view of an outsider, it just looks impossible, just like everyone thought that landing back a booster was impossible in the early 2000s.
>>16468043
That's another whole and really interesting usecase for Boring/Hyperloop, basically apply the idea on other planets, especially where there would be no drag.

Jupiter is a mesmerizing giant, a colossal swirl of vibrant colors and powerful storms, dominating the sky with an otherworldly beauty. Its vast bands of red, white, brown, and orange clouds flow in turbulent currents, revealing the planet's dynamic and violent atmosphere. At its heart lies the iconic Great Red Spot, a centuries-old storm large enough to engulf Earth, spinning like a celestial eye. Jupiter's sheer size and the intense, glowing hues across its atmosphere evoke a sense of awe, making it appear almost alive—a majestic, restless titan reigning over the outer Solar System with a gravity and presence that is second to none.

>But honorable Chairman, this is the fifth test launch in Xinjiang this month. Don't you think that our Project Orion HLV can start carrying proper payloads?

It takes 668.6 Sols for Mars to go around the sun. If you divide that by 12, you get 55.717 days per month. So you'll have essentially 11 months that are 55 days long and 12th month that is 64 days long. Or you can double it and have 24 months in a year on Mars with 23 months of 28 days which gets you to 644 Sols and then the last month has 24.6 Sols. It would be convenient to stick with Earth system of 12 months, but there's a unique opportunity here to rewrite this calendar and make it so that all months except the final month of the year are evenly segmented. 28 days is 4 perfect weeks of 7 days. Sunday off initially (as the colony is young and needs all the time for growth) so you get 24 days of useful productivity time and 1 day off for just about everyone to recover/relax. Once you get civilians on the planet and they either bring kids or have kids on the planet, then you introduce Saturday into the mix and make it 2 days off, so you get 20 usable days instead of 28. Just shy of 3 weeks. But you have 24 months instead of 12, so your opportunity curve is MUCH longer. On top of that, in terms of time management and logistics, everything continues to remain even.
Finally, and MOST importantly, EVERYTHING on Mars MUST follow the metric system. Imperial is subhuman trash. Everything you do is either multiplied up by 10 or divided down by 10 for your scaling.

Not even close, these lists always exclude monarchs and other such turbo rich who hide their wealth.
These are just the publicly available wealthy that Forbes interns can plug into a spread sheet.

All starships ever flown have been development prototypes, this argument is retarded.
