Hello time traveller from the 1990's. In the distant future of the 2010's we became highly confident that there are large volumes of water contained as water ice in the Martian regolith (i.e. the top 1 meter of soil) and in the deep crust. No need to import water, just start digging up large quantities of dirt, grinding it up, and putting it in an oven to capture the offgassing water. Bringing all this heavy machinery should be easy thanks to Starship's cubic kilometer cargo volumes.

Doesn't look like that's happening any time soon, unless there is some type of really strong pointy super sonic piercing dart missile, and if say 20 or so we're launched in a row with increasing width so like an un connected train of rock ice picks, the last one being a motorized drill and just to test how deep this technique could bore

I know this is not the final version, but what ended up happening to all the available space in between the tank dome and the conical section? I mean, the area with 9m rings. Here, that sector is way too short compared to the original diagrams of starship, where you had several rings, and thus several floors, before the diameter starts getting smaller the higher you go.

I think spin gravity will be a relatively short fad in the grand scheme of things.

I think that when we eventually build stanford toruses or oneill cylinders or something else similar. anything that is expected to have people born live and die on it; the inhabitants will quickly realize that zero G is very convenient for a lot of things, and for the things it isn't 1/5G or less will suffice.
I suspect that only 2 or 3 generations of space stations will actually be built to produce 1G acceleration.

Delete SLS INSTANTLY. Keep those contractors working, but instead redirect them to base building modules (universal for moon and mars) as well as any random shit we may need. Put aside some cash for a few starships to be used as space station sections with whoever gets a core up, to support permanent inhabitance in space.

Different packages. On the cheapest tier you're stationary, but you can opt for the higher tiers that let you move it as often as you'd like, or if you pair it with the right equipment then you can use it while in motion. There's a speed limit of 100MPH.

Build it with steel. Steel has a fatigue limit, unlike aluminum, so flexing and bending it a bit isn't a problem. You can let oscillations run their course and dissipate as heat, or acively dampen them using the usual combination of RCS, reaction wheels, gyros, etc.

Also, the only reason the tower wobbles like that is because the arms are very heavy and move quite quickly. If you don't have heavy moving parts then wobbles like that shouldn't occur.

realistically, i think very few people will go to mars unless there is already a base and infrastructure waiting for them. its just too difficult for individuals to try and scratch out a home from nothing. even if they're wealthy, the expense will be very high.

How strong is starships body that the grabbers don't dent it, because besides that would it make sense to add some sort of padding combo, foam, or it needs a friction grip.
So the fear is they go to catch and the kick back bounce makes a butter fingers?

It catched the first one so maybe there's no issue at all,. There likely is not

Maybe future versions might have a second set of arms

during the booster catch, the arms bounced off the booster before catching it. so it must be quite strong.

nevertheless, the arms moving fast doesn't necessarily mean they squeeze starship hard, since they obviously have some braking mechanism which controls their movement.

Oh but then we realized the complexity of supply and demand markets, and inventory, and currency value fluctuation,

What was everyone saying about bitcoin computers and energy?

Is that also absurd?(I don't get entirely the process of mining, from what I did see it had to do with networks using computer power to work out large models and stuff, but at other times it made it seem like an arbitrary series of steps to game like achieve a token) Or there is so much energy wasting it is never an issue?

never is a long time, but the radiation will be hard to work around without some sci-fi shielding tech.
36 Sieverts a day on Io. For scale 1 Sv is the maximum LIFETIME dose allowed to NASA astronauts currently. 5 Sv in a short time is enough to have a 50% chance of death. on wikipedia they mention a guy called Cecil Kelley took 36Sv in 1958, death occurred within 35 hours.

Incidentally, a 6 month trip to Mars would give 300 mSv with no shielding, another 300 for a 500 day stay on the surface and then 300 on the way back. So 900 mSv for the whole trip, which is just barely below NASA maximum lifetime amount, so would be very possible with even a small amount of shielding from the mars lander.

Basically we should start with Callisto.

It will self-selectively exclude them as it becomes cost prohibitive. The tragedy though, is that the lardasses will inherit the Earth.

When genetic engineering gets figured out, spacefaring civilizations will be incentivized to shrink their people. You can copy avian neuron density to maintain a human intellect while small. Less resources/square footage consumed per person as an obvious benefit. Go small enough and cryogenic sleep actually works without cell damage. Our size was selected for by Earth, there's no reason to expect it to be the best form once we leave.

It gives them a three year head start on figuring out if their moonbrick process has any issues. If they have a flaw that causes them to start to degrade after a year or two you're not going to want to find that out after a year of using them to build out your moonbase.

One big difference here is owning a certain percentage of the stock vs voting shares. Just for reference, a couple of years ago Musk owned something like a little bit less of 50%, a figure that keeps decreasing, due to them being repeatedly diluted. However, at the same time, he owned almost 80% of voting shares. He basically has total control of the company, so this is no reason to worry at all. SpaceX is like his baby, he's not gonna let anything reduce that last number to less than 50%.

no, Mars dust is still aerosolized but it's not extremely sharp
one problem is it seems to carry a static charge, which makes it stick to surfaces and hard to clean
if it accumulates in certain hard to reach areas that are exposed, that's bad

the main problem IMO would be overheating
because there's less atmosphere that can naturally conduct heat away from the electrical components

there's a similar problem in space, despite it being so cold you overheat due to there being no convection through an atmospheric medium
so they have to use electromagnetic waves to transfer heat away from your craft through the infrared, these units are called thermal radiators

you can clear out rad belts with radio waves apparently. probably the best way to clear out jovian rad belts would to have a permanently orbiting satellite around io powered by a mix of nuclear and solar power (or an entire constellation of them, since you could make individual satellites smaller and not require in-space construction) producing VLF radio waves, to constantly clear the rad belts around the moon. probably would require a few hundred tonnes of material to set it up but should be pretty feasible with current tech even. just send a few dozen starships to io deploy the satellites.

Creating a supersonic commercial jet just really seems like a giant waste of time and money. I'm not saying that the Concord proved it was mostly pointless, just that I don't see an inherent advantage that people would actively pay the difference in pricing. Look at the current airlines. Everyone hates the cheap airlines like Spirit, but will absolutely use them if that's their only choice but no one wants to use them. You got middle-of-the-pack companies like Delta and AA who split the difference in cost versus comfort, but can still cost outrageous sums depending on the location, time of year, and seating. And finally, you've got luxury airliners like Emirates who focus on service at any cost. Who is their clientele going to be? Saudis who want to fly at Mach 2 and pay ten grand a ticket? A G5 can already fly just under Mach 1. This isn't really like a high-speed rail situation either because you could be comparing days versus hours in certain instances. When you look at SpaceX, the reason why they succeeded was because they are functionally the Spirit Airlines of space but that's okay because they rarely fly anyone so who gives a fuck how cheap the seat is, and even when they do fly people it's for very specific, expensive flights that take a lot of time and planning that fall outside of their normal business model. In the case of flying, I don't think most people care about going fast. I think most people care about comfort and pricing. If you wanted to disrupt the market there, you'd somehow have to figure out a way to marry Emirates service with Spirit prices and no one has, so this just comes off as dumb project that a very, very small group of aerospace enthusiasts might be able to recollect ten years from now.

falcon 9 internal costs are already below or around 400 dollars to LEO per pound lol (18 tonnes to LEO was the highest falcon 9 has ever delivered with reuse iirc and its been accepted for a while now (since like 2023) that their internal costs for launch are around 15 million.
assuming starship starts out costing 10 million to launch for 100 tonnes to LEO (and a decade from 2025 it'll probably be much better), their internal dollar/pound to LEO will be around 45 dollars per pound to LEO.
people here really do still continually underestimate starship and even falcon 9.

Effective last year, he had around 72% voting stake in SpaceX. Also, around 2-3 years ago, SpaceX did a 10:1 stock split as well, because the original pool had reached saturation of sell to outside investors. So he and others have massive share pools now. I would expect over the next 10 years, that SpaceX will likely do another split, probably a 5:1 or a 3:1. Roughly around the time or a few years short of the Starlink IPO. That said though, now that Trump has won, the probability of another election taking place in the US reduces over time as long as he remains in charge. Which incentivizes Musk to keep all of SpaceX private. I could also see him declare that Mars is the new HQ of all his companies and that he'll take all his private companies public on the basis that in order to buy shares in them, you have to move to Mars to do it, ensuring that the world has to invest into the future of Mars, as denying that ore forcibly taking over his companies means it would create a humanitarian crisis off world. The mirror opposite of the union crisis seen in For All Mankind.

>Gwynne says Starlink would add another zero. SpaceX is valued at 225Bn, so Starlink alone would push SpaceX to 2.25Tn. Starship is expected to vastly eclipse that.

We can read between the lines on that and infer that it will over the next 10-20 years, add another zero, So by 2030-2040, SpaceX will be in the ballpark of 22.5Tn in valuation. Which roughly tracks with Ron Barron's statement, that they expect to make between now and end of the 2030s, 15x the money they have invested over the 7x they've already made to date. The US GDP in 2021 was 23.5Tn. So effectively, SpaceX alone will be worth the total US GDP output by end of 2030 based on what was stated and inferred through hints dropped. That's fucking crazy.

They tried parachutes into salt water and promptly gave up. They probably discovered the same thing SpaceX did: they need to do propulsive landing to do it, and Electron would need to be massively reengineered to do that, with resources that are already being consumed by Neutron. In a classic fit of sour grapes, reusability "wasn't worth it" for Electron.

You know I wonder, let's say you had a liquid billionaire. And instead of having his money in stocks he decides to "take it out of the economy" and hide it under a mattress and never spend it. So in the world of money, a billion dollars disappeared, but in the world of wealth, paper got put under a mattress. Now you could argue that that the billion dollars could be spent and incentivize people to produce good and services and support them doing so. But you could also argue the money under the mattress deflated the money supply and increased the value of all USD. Would it be even better if he just lit the money on fire?

Midwits think billionaires have a big building somewhere full of money that you can go swimming in like Scrooge McDuck. And that can't be farther from the truth. Their money goes into financing a bunch of businesses and is mostly in investment positions, and then it grows.
Not that there aren't ones like Bozos who buy absurdly oversized yachts that require bridges be disassembled to get them out an sheeit.

I never understood "Kid Rock". It's a silly name, and I don't know a single bit of music that he's responsible for. But as one of the rare non-leftoid musicians, he seems to end up as the token "see, a music guy likes us" guy of the right. I don't hate him, it's just that he just seems out of place.

that isn't true either, equity in a company can be collateralized for loans for instance, but that isn't "free" either
shares should be a pretty simple concept but for some reason a lot of people don't seemt to actually know what it means
it means you own a part of a company and are entitled to dividend for instance if they are paid in the future
the potential for dividend payments in the future is what gives value to companies ultimately and thus the shares of a company, the potential can go up and down which then translates to a shareholder becoming richer or poorer on paper

but basic shit like how companies are valued and what shares are should really be taught in high school already

i fear that the severe recession expected in 2026 will hamper the industry until the 2030s. the industry should invest more into foreign opportunities to stay afloat. both axiom and vast are doing this by pursuing foreign astronauts, but companies relying on nasa or the military will go bankrupt during austerity. and there are alot of companies that are reliant on government contracts.

So if you reduce dry mass and take more fuel you can use the lander more times without a refueling solution.

I think it's best not to try to make the lander be a moon base beyond the basics. Because you could then make an actual moon base starship that doesn't leave the surface, thus doesn't use its payload mass on fuel, then you fill the fucker full of lab equipment. Astronauts would eva from the lander ship to the moon base ship, then when its time to leave the moon they go back to the lander and blast off.

I've got the tabs in a sidebar, it's got two layers where one holds tab stacks, then when you click one the second layer shows the tabs in that stack. It's sort of like those Tree Style Tab extensions but I never liked those as much. But then they've also added these "Workspaces" that you can switch between on the fly, so that you can theoretically sort your endless tabs according to the purpose.
