What would it take for Bezos to give up on launchers and focus on space stations? Would he rather die without seeing his dream realized, than just using SpaceX to launch his hardware? I don't understand. If I was in his position I would've built Orbital Reef using Falcon 9 already. Does he care about space at all? Or does he care but his ego matters more?

It's not so much his ego as his own identity thats at stake here. It's been known for a while that bezos wanted to do this since childhood. He sees himself as the space guy. So when someone else actually becomes the thing he wants to be then it's a threat to his self-conception.

His ego.
Just look at that whole thing about the old saturn 5 rocket engines he had a crew pick up from the bottom of the ocean.
That entire docu was one big circlejerk about how he is such a space visionary, but at the same time articles were leaking out that blue origin was in trouble because bezos put yes men in control of the company who only knew how to run warehouses and abuse their staff.

Well, bummer. He definitely has more liquidity than Musk, I'd have to guess several times more considering their very different positions. His cash could've been a real help to SpaceX. Building his giant space stations between Mars windows would've been a cool way to keep up the cadence. I'm not nearly as optimistic about cylinders and asteroid mining as I am about Mars, but the sooner we get them figured out the sooner we can stick an Orion drive on the back. His work could've still been remembered by history

As NASA increasingly relies on commercial space, there are some troubling signs
>There are growing concerns about the sustainability of this strategy, though. Some contractors are struggling financially, and others have bowed out of commercial programs entirely. Inside the space agency, too, there appears to be some pushback against these private space initiatives, with agency officials seeking more control. Some key commercial space leaders have left or been edged out of the agency, leaving questions about who will champion these programs. In short, after nearly two decades, NASAโs commercial space efforts are starting to show some cracks.
>The problem is that NASA has gotten away from the guiding principles that led to success with the early cargo and crew programs.
>Some of the new commercial programs have skipped the COTS development phase entirely and have gone directly into the services phaseโeven though the contractors are still developing their hardware. NASA also appears to be funding a far lower share of costs than it did during the cargo and crew programs. Additionally, many of the new programs do not have any near-term customers except the government, so NASA is not one of many customersโit is the only customer.
>And perhaps most importantly, NASA is loading the companies down with requirements. NASA is adding requirements, changing them, and burdening contractors with thousands of requirements rather than hundreds.
>โThey have shoved a cost-plus contract into a fixed-price environment,โ one senior government source said. โInstead of a lean contract, there are thousands of requirements for something that has no other customers.โ
>Added an official from a commercial space company working on a fixed-price contract with NASA: โIt certainly feels like a lot of people are treating us like weโre a cost-plus contractor."

They follow the SpaceX playbook where the foundational layer is software and everything is built on top of it. Traditional entities in space do the opposite, in that they build the hardware first and worry about the software after or outsource it to a subprime to handle it. This makes the capabilities specialized, but lack any flexibility to evolve and tends to require a redesign on a contracted basis. SpaceX, Anduril, couple software and hardware at its source, so that changes in hardware informed by physics, will feedback into the software layer and in turn drive innovation to allow new options downstream of its development pipelines.
It's what has allowed them to accelerate and disrupt spaces that have been otherwise strangeheld and stagnant.

Nah, this is Apollo level tech with modern safety margins included, their missions are only set to past 3 days and have nowhere near the amount of payload/consumables that HLS can bring. They'd have to bankrupt themselves to catch up 10-20yrs of progress in the next 4yrs.

LM10 shares a supply chain with other rockets like LM10A and LM12, which should make it a lot cheaper than a bespoke rocket like Apollo's S5. Likewise, the Mengzhou capsule has a LEO variant. LM10 also shares a pad with LM10A. So at least they should be able to launch more times than Apollo did, without breaking the bank.
>catch up 10-20yrs of progress in the next 4yrs.
LM9 schedule was moved left to NET 2030, and that rocket could probably be used to deliver about 50t of cargo to the moon. The full reuse variant is now NET 2033-2035. So it might be less than 10 years rather than 20 years

More likely, the most important function of religion has been to give legitimacy to the bandit gangs... I mean governments, who regularly stole fro... I mean taxed them. And to deter from rebellious and antisocial behavior.
The more time passed, the better religions became at this purpose, until we arrived at monotheism and dei gratia rex.

My only point was that Elon shouldn't be the one in charge of it. "go forth and multiply" out of context and extrapolated out is what Elon already does, having dozens of kids without being their father so one of them goes tranny.

I would have to see who controls the office. For all we know they might fold it into NASA or Space Force, or rebrand it as its own thing. The real problem is getting the FAA to not drag their heels on NOTAMS and shit. Since they explicitly control that, and even if they don't have the capability to outright deny a launch license anymore, they can slow roll launches by not doing their function that enables the launches.

Starbase is only there to create starship and perfect the process.
When that is done it will all move to cape canaveral.
Starbase will have it's role, but the USgov&nasa will demand that cape canaveral is the major US spaceport.

a shame, I really prefer starbase/boca chica as the main launch site. after all, it's 100% owned by musk, they have way more freedom there, as opposed to using a government-owned facility, where they are subject to the incumbent admin's whims, which changes every 4 years.

Starbase will most likely have a big role in commercial starship launches in the future.
But everything related to nasa will be from the cape, like the starship moon mission.
But i wonder if they will make the starships at starbase and ship them to the cape or build a entire new plant in florida and build them there.

Industrial and financial interests have been stifling horticultural and technological advances for about that long in the name of profits and their stranglehold over western society, if not longer going back into the late 19th century.
What we're seeing now are the last desperate flailings of a dying civilization, we're lucky if we somehow avoid nuclear obliteration as a result of this fake and gay Cold War 2.0 but regardless everything is completely fucked anyways.
Basically if we can't clean the water out on an impossible level we are all going to die as a result of ecological collapse.

The 9M729 Oreshnik is a modification of an the earlier RS-26 Rubezh, which is an offshoot of the RS-24 Yars/Topol-MR, itself an evolution of the RS-12M2 Topol-M, which was the first ballistic missile designed in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. That said, the Topol-M is descended from the RS-12M Topol which was a late cold war Soviet design intended to replace the UR-100.
So, it's kind of hard to say. There's a lot of intermediate steps between the Oreshnik and it's nearest Soviet ancestor, but the solid fuel tech itself might not have needed that much in the way of updating. If it's being billed specifically as a hypersonic weapon the real changes would be in how modified the MIRV end of it is.

I had a dream Donald Trump tried to sell me a robot fox waifu. I was at work and he approached me with an offer to invest in this new robotics company, and he showed me this skeletony, terminator looking robot. He said you can fit it with different skin, to make it look human. I said I wasn't interested, until he showed me the fox version. She looked like this: https://e621.net/posts?tags=siren_(
I got to have a "private demonstration" in a room that looked like the back room of a strip club - and the fox lady just told me all the things she's willing to do (including weird stuff I'm not interested in) but she didn't do anything.
Also, Trump was like 4 feet tall for some reason. I knew I wore lifts but I didn't think he was that short.

"Armstrong" is almost certainly a reference to American astronaut Neil Armstrong, who flew on several Gemini and Apollo missions, including the famous Apollo 11 where he became the first human being to set foot on the Moon. The adjective "new" is probably to evoke a sense of heritage, continuation, and respect for the golden age of space travel.
"New Armstrong" follows a naming convention of Jeff Bezos' space company "Blue Origin", where the rockets are named in honor of early American astronauts, including Alan Shephard, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong, all of whom were male.

Bitcoin is about to hit $100k. Is this optimism for incoming administration or for war? How would either affect SpaceX? If its all out war does Cape Canaveral get bombed the fuck out and essentially ground Falcon 9? And if its optimism then how does this affect Starship?

Its initial goal was to build a crewed suborbital spacecraft capable of space tourism, and it had also stated long-term ambitions of orbital spaceflight. The company was founded by John Carmack, co-founder and former chief technical officer of id Software.

yes you cretin, if a car had a 1% chance of killing you each time you started it, you can bet your ass it would need inspections after every drive and that would inflate the cost. But it doesn't, that was my point, and so the maintenance cost is low enough for the average person to afford it. Reliability IS cost, do you at least understand that? Expendable mogs reusable there and there's no reason to think that will change.

Reuse in buses and trains don't make sense because there is an extremely low attrition for each ride and also as many people who leave from one point, as much will come back to that point, in space there is a much greater asymmetry on that regard. I think expendable planes could make sense in future if you try for example to colonize Antarctica and in the future production of planes will be so cheap and low in material cost because of advancement in material science and automatization, that it's just more cost effective to get rid of that extra jet fuel that you have to carry with you to go back and all the infrastructure to maintain and inspect planes.

No you haven't, as soon as I presented an argument showing the cost would be lower you immediately switched to arguing that rockets malfunctions are more deadly than car malfunctions, which is completely irrelevant.

How the hell did I miss this?! This is so bizarre I expected this article to be from The Onion. It is worth quoting:
>The world's richest man, Elon Musk, has scented a new opportunity to capitalise on quirky products, launching a perfume called "Burnt Hair" that he said sold 10,000 bottles to earn a million dollars in just a few hours.
>"With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable โ why did I even fight it for so long!?" Musk asked on Twitter, where he now describes himself as a perfume salesman.
>"The essence of repugnant desire" is the website description of his latest offering, which costs $100 a bottle and is set to start shipping in the first quarter of 2023, making good on a product Musk first touted in September.
>Previous brainwaves have included Tesla's (TSLA.O) own-brand tequila, launched in 2020, and a pair of "short shorts" to signify Musk's victory over investors who bet against the electric vehicle maker, now the world's most valuable car firm.

Your argument doesn't explain why inspections need to be manual, or why parts need to be replaced constantly. Modern rockets are full of sensors.
At least make a coherent argument, like claiming that making the rocket capable of automatically inspecting itself would make it too heavy (although you could just move that equipment to the launch tower).

Article on space station developer thoughts. The newest and most sane take I heard in the article was this.
>However, Vast CEO Max Haot is optimistic the shift will allow for the procurement of an initial space station module that is not permanently crewed.
>โThe current way the procurement, driven by Congress, is set up is that the minute the new replacement, the CLD commercial destination, is up, it should be permanently crewed from day one,โ said Vast CEO Max Haot.
>Haot noted no other space station has been permanently crewed from day one because it takes time to develop and improve life support technologies in orbit.
>โAnd so we believe that if the NASA procurement continues to say itโs zero or permanently crewed, all it will do is delay the first commercial space station,โ he added.
>Instead, Haot said NASA should seek to procure an initial module that can be crewed for three to six months at a time while the ISS is still operating.
>โAnd then, as we add more modules, we improve the life support technology, and as quickly as possible it becomes permanently crewed โฆ Itโs better to lower the barrier and iterate in low Earth orbit, instead of delaying for the something thatโs perfect.โ

They are set up to be the first commercial space station up, scheduled on a Falcon. They catch the first wave of investment that comes with the title, they probably get CLD wave 2 at that point (bonus), they have private missions and small space agencies buying up flights, the lab to sell space for missions on board, low in house production costs, reasonable goals, none of these are stating they rely only on congress for funding.

If you want to talk about that you should probably actually response to my argument rather than try to argue analogies aren't arguments. That might be a good place to start.

I don't think the labor market has much capacity for the kind of work you could do in a dream through the neuralink interface. It's not real-time so you can't go around piloting a remote-presence chassis to stack boxes. A lot of clerical work is more or less real-time, you can't do the next three months of accounting all in one go. Research or something like that, sure, but I think a lot of people would be okay with the idea of finishing a doctorate in less than a month. Things like engineering and graphic design would immediately run up against the limits of computer hardwareโyou'd basically need a supercomputer to keep pace.
Even if you could work out some kind of insane multi-task-threading so that one person could be doing months of physical or service-industry labor via a fleet of robots, then you've changed the dynamics of the labor market immensely. There simply isn't enough stuff to be done if people are 1-2000x more efficient.

Vacuumorphs are more like, assembled than grown, as they need to be sealed for life. The book explicitly says they can't reproduce

Something like this happened in the Uplift series, a species of tunnelers got uplifted and enslaved as living miners, their bodies warped into something like a modern tunnel boring machine except flesh and self-aware. They wound up using some latent psi ability to mindwipe their patrons, reverting the cruel gene splicers back to pre-sapiancy. Then they fucked off to go live underground and complain about it to one another.

If you can make a vacuumorph, you can probably remote-control it Avatar-style and it has no independent will

Could you design the crew version with extra reinforcement so it can always abort in water?

It's catastrophically bad. From the outside, it looks deceiving, but astronauts when docked to HLS in Moon's orbit will spend 99% of their time IN HLS Starship. Orion has a crew capacity of 7, but will average 4. HLS Starship has a crew capacity of 25, but will average 2. Orion's internal volume for its crew area is large enough, barely, that if you took 2 roughly 6' to 6'2 height people and lined them up head to toe in one direction, and they'd fit with a few inches on either side, at its widest. For Starship, its nearly 5 people 6' people head to toe lined up from one end of the ship to the other. On top of that, you have to consider how Dragon looks and how a Model S looks internally. Take THAT design and aesthetic and extrapolate out into a living volume that's nearly 10x larger than the Orion capsule. Clean, egalitarian design, with modern lighting, plush, and designed for maximum utility but simultaneous comfort. Compare that to what Orion looks like internally (picrel), which comes across more like a padded white room mixed in with a prison cell.
Also, this picture is also deceiving because it doesn't accurately portray size. But we have a good frame of reference. Take a look at the Orion engine bell. Now take your hands and put them out wide. From the end of your finger tips on the left to end of finger tips on your right, that's roughly how wide that engine bell is. Now keep that in mind for HLS where its docked all the way down to where the NASA worm logo is. That's all LIVABLE volume.
When HLS Demo-1 flies, we'll likely get a mini drone inside the ship that will travel its full length during the flight to orbit, from orbit to Moon, and even around the ship when landed on the surface. We'll get that all in 4K (hopefully at 60fps), and people will truly understand, in totality, how much HLS dwarfs literally everything else in the market by several generations.

Actually, we can do one better. Tesla recently showed off their Robovan with a design and visual theme for their vision for the future, and since Tesla and SpaceX constantly cross pollinates, this theme and visual choice will inevitably crossover into Starship. Using this Robovan as reference, one can reasonably expect that the internals of HLS Starship will follow this exact philosophy across its entire livable volume. So with that in mind, compare THIS, to what Orion looks like internally, and you can see how utterly devastating that difference becomes.
