CZ5 familly hardware arrived at Wenchang on November 1, furthermore a CZ5B launch was listed as planned in the near future in an official update. Based on previous delivery time we can guess that they target between the 2nd half of December and early January. We only know that the payload isn't related to the manned space program. There are long standing rumors it will be a Guowang constellation launch.

Probably for the same reason plants reflect green light: the peak of the energy emissions spectrum is actually really hard to use compared to the more stable and reliable off-peak spectrum, which makes bad things happen to the photosynthesis cell parts less often. The extremely high energy in nuclear power is hazardous to the balance of accessible chemical reactions that drive biological processes.

How? It imposes structural requirements on the gridfins that Super Heavy's doesn't and doesn't (as far as I can see) put the vehicle directly back on the launch mount. It might not require the same degree of precision in navigation, but given that Super Heavy just made it work first try, that doesn't appear to be a problem worth optimizing around.

I wouldn't over-interpret the model. It might be that the model is a low-quality simplification of the actual design, that's just meant to illustrate the general concept of the gantry structure. The Long March 10A is supposed to use separate catching structures according to the renders (see above)

Chinese system would be fine as long as there was a sort of rail/shuttle built into the pad.
Gantries catch the tower, shift it over onto the railcar, which moves it the quarter-mile to the tower for stacking.

They won't be doing any of this of course.

I'd say that it's ambitious but possible, but China seems to have had a lot of issues ramping up the flight rates for the LM-5, 6, and 7. Those were supposed to have completely replaced the LM-2, 3, and 4 by now, but most of the rockets China launches are still old-style hypergolic vehicles.

It's interesting how V3 Starships are basically Super Heavy boosters with flaps and the upper half of what would be the methane tank is instead the payload/crew section. This centralizes a lot of design elements into a single process and cuts down on a lot of otherwise differentiated steps. Pretty neat.

with a ship that long it makes me wonder why the booster itself doesn't return using the exact same flaps the ship uses.
Booster clearly fucks it's engines up re-entering so fast, and if it was bellyflopping it would have a much more gentle return with a lower terminal velocity too.

Because those flaps are heavy as fuck. The amount of mass you sacrifice with them is unjustifiable. We're talking like 20-30T of payload capacity to orbit lost.

>>16469148
Only Raptor2s. I would expect that by the time SuperHeavy V2s are flying, R3s will be in mass production and integrated with the booster and ship and R4s will be in design. While Raptor with FFSC is like 98% efficient, I expect that SpaceX desires to achieve the optimization curve of Merlin where they went from TWR of 1.0 with Block 1 to 2.25 by Block 5. R3s and onwards integrate cooling and heat shield into the engine design, so all the extra structure that creates points of failure goes away. Also, if V2 and V3 Starships will get 6 engines for RVacs instead of the standard 3, I would expect the booster to stage even lower in the atmosphere, further reducing potential factors that lead to engine loss.

The fan CGI mockups don't do it justice, after I did it, I can say furnishing starship for only 4 people looks completely retarded. Even orion max crew is 6. Because HLS is reusable, and I presume it would take many many missions to deplete its fuel, they need to design it for when we can bus more astronauts to it in the future.

Do plantlets really? Surely it would be more efficient to take advantage of the larger power afforded by that part of the spectrum.

Given that stars have all different kinds of spectra, would photosynthesis result in plants in different colors? Imagine what they would look like if they absorbed UV or something. If we can't have green stars, why do we have green plants?

As said before, the center of the black body spectrum has the most variation, which leads to the most damage. It's hypothesized that plants on bigger planets would indeed follow the same rules, because terrestrial plants follow the spectral shift from being under water.

I think they'll pause flights after flight 6 and go all in on getting Tower 2 operational. The limiting factor in being able to launch from both towers is the fuel farm, and the fact that launching Starship 10x a year basically drains the entire Continental US of its liquid oxygen supply. So in addition to the second fuel farm, they need permitting to be able to build potentially a large oxygen condensor/producer at the build site or somewhere in the greater Austin area which can produce kilotons of liquid oxygen on an annual basis to support Starship launches. But earliest I could foresee them making tower 2 operational is mid to late January 2025.

I don't care what the twitteroid troon thinks but they'll have to either blunt later ship iterations or extend them farther if only for starlinks to pack more neatly. There's a lot less room on S33 after they extended the tanks into the space the payload bay used to be.

You got me thinking about how much LOX the US produces annually, and judging from a 2022 EPA report we run net 0 when production/consumption/import/export are taken into account. Even in the unrealistic scenario we said screw everyone else and stopped exporting that'd only get us 724,000,000 kg excess, enough for ~195 Starship flights. So I think you're right about SpaceX building more LOX production facilities

Considering that SpaceX says they need around 6 tanker flights to put 100T + 25-50 humans on the Moon per HLS launch, that means you're talking 7 flights in total to LEO. That gives you 27 groups collated into a Block 1 Moon colonization effort. Which summarizes into: 2,785 metric tons of mass to the surface of the Moon and let's say average of 30 people per flight for a total of 810 people in kind. That's massive for humanity given that we have a net total of 0 between now and probably the next 4 years, but for true colonization scale efforts where you need 10,000 people on the Moon and 100,000 or more people on Mars, 724 million kilograms of liquid oxygen is insufficient to support this initiative. SpaceX would have to invest, along with government support, into building facilities wherein the corporation would have to by itself produce 1.45 billion kilograms of liquid oxygen. We're talking basically Giga Austin or Giga Shanghai facilities but all they do is mass produce liquid oxygen, probably dozens of them spread across continental United States. The scale of the operation necessary to support Moon/Mars colonization is truly sobering.

1.45Bn kg of liquid oxygen annually would get you to 54 groups collated into a Block 1 or 2 blocks of 27. Which condenses into 5.6kT of mass to the Moon or Mars annually and 1,620 people on average. Do that YoY say 2030 onwards and you get 16,200 people between Moon and Mars achieved. Let's say half and half between the two: 8100 people on both worlds. To avoid genetic limitation in population, you need an ideal minimum of 10,000 people, and ideal median of 100,000 people. 1M people (the holy goal of Elon's), ensures enough genetic variability that genetic mutations due to eventual homogenization becomes impossible.

So if Starship starts pushing mass and people to Moon and Mars at scale say 2032 onwards, then by 2052, you could see 10-15k on Moon and Mars successfully.

just build the facilities near launch sites and pipe that shit in

I think SpaceX was trying to build a power plant and pipe in LNG and build a air separation unit or something in starbase but the enviromental regulation shit got in the way (either blocked all together or would have slowed things down unacceptably, so they abandoned those ideas)

ESG hound was whining about the power plant a lot for instance, those things getting cut might have been his doing if in fact the bureucrats in different agencies were reading his blog etc

>but the enviromental regulation shit got in the way
To be absolutely fair. I'm 100% in support of SpaceX and everything they do. But I would 100% shut down any attempts by SpaceX to build an LNG facility in the middle of a national wildlife refuge. A rocket launch facility and fuel storage farm? Sure. But a fuel production farm? Fuck no.

And beyond the environmental concern, you can't put a fuel production facility next to an ITAR sensitive facility which is next to a public beach that has its roads opened and closed on a daily basis. It makes the regulatory and launch problem INFINITELY HARDER. Maybe build it in Blastrop or somewhere 30-40m from Starbase, but not at Starbase. ESGH is a retard, but in this one particular case, he was on the right side of history.

Elon would prefer to skip the Moon altogether, but the Moon is a strategic asset. It has exatons of Helium 3 in its regolith, which will come handy once the fusion equation is solved. It has exatons of water ice trapped in its craters, which is mission critical for any long term habitation in space in general. It's infinitely easier, ironically, and cheaper, ironically, to mine, refine, and launch payload from the Moon back to Earth orbit (once the cycle gets going) of ships filled with water than it is to launch a ship filled completely with water up from the Earth to low earth orbit to the kiloton degree necessary to support vast orbital farms in order to produce food and medicine to support nations. Next, there's the fact that the Moon was formed from the Earth, so many of the common and rare earth metals that are in supply on the planet would also be found there; making production of certain facilities at scale mission critical in offloading dirty industries from Earth's surface to there, and then simply importing the products on the cheap instead.

Factor in fusion fuel + water + metals/rare-earths, and you can basically build a massive shipyard for intra-solar excursions for all activities towards Venus/Mercury as well as activities to the belt, Jupiter, and beyond. In concert with Mars (of course). Finally, there's Earth observation and radio/infrared, and visible light observation of the greater universe from the dark side in search of Earth-like worlds as well as purported "alien signals". The 1.5 day proximity of travel makes it incredibly USEFUL to drive all those things.

And there's the matter of prestige. US will not tolerate China/Russia taking over the Moon in favor of all in on Mars. You'd be giving the enemy incredible strike reach that's pure stealth on its ingress to anywhere across the US. No way fag.
Finally, there's the matter of Earth

Even just a little bit of gravity might be enough to signal the body "don't get rid of the bones, you need those," instead of it being a linear progression from jello to normal skeleton as you go from 0g to 1g. These are the questions we should have answered with variable-g spin stations literal decades ago.

How did the “lunar Helium-3” meme even take off in the first place?

Fusion power itself is a massive midwit trap. It will never be as economically efficient as fission. The viability of fusion (presuming it can even be made efficient enough to even be in the running!) hinges on the presumption that environmentalists will embrace fusion and not try to obstruct it at every step like they do fission. But this is based on a fundemental misunderstanding of what motivates western anti-nuclear environmentalists. Large power plants that produce huge amounts of power and require large capital investments will ALWAYS piss off these people, no matter how ostensibly green they are, because such power plants solidify the social status quo rather than throwing a wrench in it. They want to deconstruct and dismantle western industrial society, not find ways to make western industrial society even more clean and efficient. That's the last thing they want, so if fusion power ever became a technically viable competitor to fission they would oppose it even more than they oppose fission.

Plants use plenty of green light.
The reflected green light does mean it's less photosynthetically efficient than blue or red light, but it is useful.
In the case of extreme light intensity green light becomes more useful as it penetrates further into leaves. Blue and red light only penetrate the top layers of leaf tissue and its possible for that chlorophyll to get saturated with light.
When measuring radiation in the field, like in a greenhouse or indoors, most meters treat all photons as equal.

Light beyond visable(700nm+) is getting researched and it's being found plants utilize them in various ways. (Like the Emerson effect)

Plants aren't stupid to not utilize the light given to them. They evolved under the Sun with all the wavelengths of light it gives.

the trucks will become a bottleneck and then they will have to either expand the road more (which is planned already by the city) or build pipelines from the port of bronsville

they should build a port so they can have LNG supertankers pull right up next to the launch pads

have you tried reading Foundation? I did, and it isn't worth it. It was a favorite book when I was a teenager, but now I see it as a product of its time: a trashy potboiler. (Not to mention that the whole "psycho-history" premise is completely blown away by chaos theory.)

It could be economically practical compared to trucking tons of fuel every launch. Unless they get a pipeline

this is a meme but it illustrates what's wrong with the "why do space, we have problems here on earth" crowd. the easy problems rarely get big solutions because people don't mind the status quo that much. it's when you try to do something really hard that you make all the easy problems trivial.

It's not a 3d render, the reason it looks 'off' is because it is tiny.

reuse a rocket? preposterous. it'll never be viable, you'd have to fly each one 10 times before you break even.
