Materials science is pretty much responsible for all the gains in rocketry since the 50s (the max attainable isp for kerolox, hydrazine and hydrolox hasn't changed), with a hat tip to computers no longer weighing multiple tons.

SRBs were a small fraction of the cost and turnaround time. I'm talking about the orbiter specificaly.
Starship is similar to the orbiter in many bad ways, yet people magically expect it to have zero maintenace or turnaround.. Fastest Shuttle turnaround ever was like 1 month. In fact, fastest Falcon 9 booster tunaround was just under a month, and that's significantly less difficult than reusing an orbiter.

>delicate ceramic tiles requiring thousands of hours of inspection

no. if you lose a tile there's ablative heat shield underneath that can protect the steel from one re-entry, and if that doesn't work there's steel behind that. And the starship isn't strapped to an insulated fuel tank that shoots frozen foam at the heat shield.

Also most starship flights will be unmanned and it'll fly at a vastly higher rate than the shuttle. You could never test the shuttle's risk profile because it was always a manned vehicle, so you inspected it 1000 hours because a damaged tile could always be lethal in theory. But the shuttle with lost tiles survived because there was steel there, and the shuttle that burned up had a giant hole in the carbon-carbon leading edge of the wing, not the tiles.

>extremely high performance (therefore hard to maintain) engines

I have no idea if raptor will be easy to maintain but a simple description of "high performance" is infantile and you don't know shit

They could be playing games with amortization but you have to realize they've been focused on cost across the entire organization this whole time: everything from materials to fabrication and salaries are under scrutiny.

Interplanetary Transport System, jackass. Then the rocket has gotten smaller and smaller with lowe and lower ISP/mass fraction, yet magically people expect it to still have the same payload.

Youre such an idiot who knows nothing about rocketry so I will school you. NO it wont reach 150T. Best case is they get to 65T from 35T currently, which would be a massive improvement.

considering those munitions would have otherwise been thrown away and would have to be replaced with more modern equipment anyway, zero, because that money is also already being spent whether ukraine uses the old stuff to kill ziggers or not.
>meaningless proxy war
it's probably one of the easiest foreign policy wins in a long time, an absolute handout to easily destroy one of the most obnoxious enemies to the US for basically no loss of our own.

That picture is Breezewood PA, approximately nobody lives there. Breezewood is ALWAYS the place pictured and mocked because Breezewood is infamous for being very unusual. It's an aberration, not the norm.

It's a glorified truck stop created by a botched connection between an interstate and a turnpike, which were never connected properly for esoteric reasons and subsequently never properly connected because it became profitable for the businesses that formed in between them.

Notice how there's no ramp between I 76 (the turnpike) and I 70 (the interstate). To get from one to the other drivers have to get onto Route 30. That's what Breezewood is, a short stretch of Route 30 which drivers are forced onto to go between I 76 and I 70. That's why Breezewood exists, that's why it is the way it is.

Everywhere around this freakshow intersection (which isn't even legally a town, virtually nobody even lives there) is beautiful farm land and rural housing. Central Pennsylvania is one of the nicest places in this country, and Breezewood is infamous because of how much unlike it is anywhere else in the area. People who cite it as an example typical of America are morons.

Breezewood was never that.

> According to the Federal Highway Administration, the peculiar arrangement at Breezewood resulted because at the time I-70's toll-free segment was built, the state did not qualify for federal funds under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 to build a direct interchange, unless it agreed to cease collecting tolls on the Turnpike once the construction bonds were retired[14]โ€”a direct interchange would have meant that a westbound driver on I-70 could not choose between the toll route and a free alternative, but would be forced to enter the Turnpike. However, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission was not willing to build the interchange with its own funds, due to the expected decrease in revenue once Interstate 80 was completed through the state.[14] Accordingly, the state chose to build the unusual Breezewood arrangement in lieu of a direct interchange, thus qualifying for federal funds because this arrangement gave drivers the option of continuing on the untolled US 30.[14]
>Although laws have been relaxed since then, local businesses, including many traveler services like fast food restaurants, gas stations and motels, have lobbied to keep the gap and not directly connect I-70 to the Turnpike, fearing a loss of business. In order for a bypass to be considered, Breezewood's own Bedford County must propose it, which is "just not an issue that really appears on the radar for us," Donald Schwartz, the Bedford County planning director, said in 2017.

It exists because of an autistic interplay between state and federal laws, and has since been kept that way because it's profitable for the county.

Yes, it is unusual. That's why it's always Breezewood that's getting posted. Breezewood specifically is infamous because of how much of an usually ugly clusterfuck it is.

Breezewood exists in Bedford County. The seat of Bedford County is the town of Bedford. Pic related is Bedford. This is what an average town in central Pennsylvania looks like. It's not some sort of fast food truck stop abomination like Breezewood.

It's probably true.
SpaceX used a cheat code by reusing the 1st stage rather than the upper, so their break even number was lower, bus its easy to see how reusing the upper requires massive cadence to make sense. It wrecks payload to orbit and at the same time requires a much more complicated upper stage which requires unique expenses to refurbish. Assuming youa re SLS and have 1 launch every 2 years then its 100% not worth it to reuse. Shutte was aiming at a cadence where they would break even but never made it.

Dunning Kruger midwits don't know about many government agencies, so they think that Elon will want to completely smash the few they do know about, that are only partly rotten. There are well over 400 agencies out there, and many are much more useless. NASA won't even be in the top 100, and most of their trouble is due to limitations imposed by Congress.

CATL is the world's leading battery manufacturer, and Tesla uses them too. Most likely they're prioritizing different things in their designs, but I wouldn't be suprised if CATL had objectively better batteries, though it's probably not a huge difference.

100 million 4680 battery produced. What your sources dont understand and dont dare tell is the real context.

Musk discussed with CATL and many other suppliers during the early days of 4680 days, whether its before production or during conceptual phase. Then Musk did it. All the cybertrucks you see have 4680 battery in them.

The more I learn about Pegasus the more it seems like a bad idea. If this guy didnt see thatit was a bad idea then he's not in a position to criticize the viability of SpaceX.

Basically the ASAT missile was air launched because it just has to go straight up, so being launched from altitude actually has a significant reduction on delta v requirements. Bycomparison this guy's air launch orbital rocket gains essentailly zero advantage from being air launched and has the amssive drawback of only being able to use solids.

>Starship, as tall as a 30-story building, is so large that it generates 10 times as much noise as the Falcon 9 rocket that SpaceX now uses to get cargo and astronauts to orbit, the new data shows. SpaceX plans another test this week.

>For residents of South Padre Island and Port Isabel, which are about six miles from SpaceXโ€™s launch site in South Texas, the noise during the October test flight was the equivalent of standing 200 feet from a Boeing 747 plane during its takeoff, said Kent L.

kek, they buried the lede in the footnotes
> The data Dr. Gee collected last month did have some inconsistencies. When measuring just in the frequencies that humans typically hear โ€” ignoring certain low and high frequencies โ€” the Starship test launch in October had lower levels at all the test sites than the F.A.A. had projected.

Journalists, hate, not enough, etc.

Crazy to think that despite how incredible Apollo was, it was basically a sign your life away publicity stunt with day 0 rocketry funded by unlimited dollars. Amazing any of them made it back alive. Almost no computer navigation, here's your sextant and spreadsheet bro. Wild. They truly were the rocket man.

If your navigation is done on urf and you rely on radio links to send the commands to meatbags, that is still 100% space cowboy shit. I get where you are coming from, but it was a cracked out insane stunt program. Based, but still insane. Real aryan shit. A real shame it was followed up by the forever cursed sh*ttle instead of real reusability attempts.

Those don't really mater in MAD. During the Cold War the Russians dug a deep hole, and filled it with hundreds of nukes. If detonated they are enough to cause massive earthquakes, volcanoes and nudge Earth's orbit enough to fuck any surviving life. It's truly spooky shit that you can't build a defense against.

"Starship obsoletes Falcon 9 and the Dragon capsule," she said. "Now, we are not shutting down Dragon, and we are not shutting down Falcon. We'll be flying that for six to eight more years, but ultimately, people are going to want to fly on Starship. It's bigger. It's more comfortable. It will be less expensive. And we will have flown it so many more times."

The fact that she's not bandwagoning after a lot of females have entered the genre gives it some authenticity though.

Reminds me Apollo Smile, one of the first professional cosplayers/host for media. As punishment she became the target of every anime nerd stalker who would normally divide their attention among hundreds or thousands of thots but they weren't around yet. She became so reclusive she couldn't be found to reprise her role for the space channel 5 remaster.
