I think it's somewhat inevitable to end up with a unified Earth if there are major independent political entities off-Earth.
Coming at it from the other direction, I believe a unified Earth is also only possible in the first place if there are such offworld governments. Everybody in the basket can't get along unless there's another basket nearby full of motherfuckers who might mess with your basket.

what I hate most about these "people" is their blatant hypocrisy, they say we should ditch christianity and western idealism/spirituality in favor of purely materialistic atheism but then turn around and say that we have to respect these tribal ooga booga's beliefs like it's absolute word and use that as a justification for why we should halt humanity's progress.

why the fuck do they even care this much about the semantics of space colonization anyways? unless the existence of space natives is confirmed there's no way that space colonization is going to cause more harm than good to any specific species. these people really are just rabid nihilistic misanthropes that don't want any good to happen and should just be put down. if we ever make contact with ayys i hope the ayys show those faggots just how wrong they are about everything

The moon is too close to earthers which defeats the point of space colonization, that is, to get away from earthers. Other than that you are right about everything else.

As for colonizing Titan, you are very probably wrong.
>fuel accessibility
I find it very doubtful that humans will still be using methalox as a primary propellant by the time we are capable of colonizing the moons of Saturn. At best the abundance of methane will just make it easy to lift off the surface of Titan, but actual interplanetary travel will probably be done with nuclear or plasma propulsion.
The only real benefit Titan has for habitability is the fact that it's atmosphere is dense enough to be over the Armstrong limit meaning humans won't have to wear pressurized suits, but they will still have to deal with the absurd cold.
If humans can colonize the moon and later maybe Callisto then they would have no problem colonizing the other moons of Saturn that are similar to the prior bodies.

Titan having water cryovolcanism means that water on Titan is analogous to lava/magma here on Earth, which makes the comparison between any possible methane-based lifeforms on Titan and us kind of crazy. Our oceans are made up of Titan's lava, we drink Titan's lava, and we're made 70% of Titan's lava. Imagine if ayys landed here on Earth and they had a sip of our lava like we drink water.

Nah. I think they're all welded and permanent in the older boosters. Cumulatively, there's probably a ton or two worth of extra steel inside the boosters for maintenance. Over time, I would expect that SpaceX will use drones and optimus robots with magnetized limbs to be able to attack themselves to the internal sections of the tank and extend outwards to inspect/fix.

>Threadly reminder that raptor engines are simply too pussy to boost the Starship to orbit. Clustering them doesn't "increase" the thrust, it only creates interference patterns in the exhaust and inevitably creates a bottleneck in the fuel supply...this is why green exhaust from cooked, exploding engines or fuel line blowouts are a routine on every flight to date. The efficiency takes a huge hit that the quantity of engines cannot possibly compensate for.

>The net result is that a dead-empty Starship is still unable to achieve orbit and can only fly on a parabolic arc into the Indian Ocean, its maximum possible range. Landing the booster in Mechazilla is a hollow victory, because it's impossible to know the capacity of that given booster...it may actually be weaker than the Falcon Heavy or New Glenn, due to mounting inefficiencies.

>To effectively test ANY rocket system, a ballast "dummy" load is typically used. Additionally, if Starship were capable of reaching orbit, this would be the best place to "park" it so its systems can be reviewed and a closer landing site can be prepared and the vehicle examined, post-reentry. Musk fans need to ask themselves why neither of these tasks are occurring. The current Cope is that the ship needs new Raptor vacuum engines...as if the Space Shuttle ever needed an engine in that class to de-orbit (picrel).

IFT-1 was April 20 2023
The first partial water deluge test was on July 17 2023, the first full test on July 28 2023
That is 99 days from launch to full deluge test
IFT-2 happened November 18 2023
so 113 days between full deluge test and IFT-2
i.e. it took longer for FAA to give the license than for SpaceX to fix and build and test a whole new deluge system

it tells you that in a close-range encounter between an IFV and a tank, whoever gets the drop on the other and shoots first is likely to win, the IFV might not penetrate the crew compartment, but as you see in that video it will completely annihalate all vulnerable components, fuck up the turret ring, possibly detrack it, and also make it completely blind by destroying all camera's, periscopes and other sensors.

as for why it didn't fire the TOW, it's because this was a very very close in fight and they were likely within minimum arming distance.

Yes, but that was already common knowledge, indeed one might say it is even common sense, and it's not really specific to any particular IFV or tank model

I assumed the clip was meant as an argument in favor of the Bradley, since the previous post was extolling the Bradley in relation to Soviet model vehicles. Also, the original post about Pentagon Wars was a reference to tests about what happens to the crew when the armor is penetrated, no? So your listing of every type of damage other than armor penetration and crew injury seems rather unrelated

one could argue that situational awareness is an important part of any design, but even then past a certain point, crew training is more likely to decide who acts first and wins in that kinda close range scenario.
it's not all too unlikely that the russian crew has less formal training, most of the properly structured forces russians had at the beginning of the war got mauled pretty bad, i wouldn't be surprised to see them send barely trained gopniks into battle with minimal training just to stem the bleeding.

i've seen the whole thing, the turret malfunctioned and they had to ditch the tank not too far from where the fight started considering having eyes on you in this war means you're dead means it's very likely they didn't make it back on foot across kilometers of open ground, i bet arty got them.

Yes, in general that is true, but we can't draw many conclusions about these particular designs from a from a small sample coming from biased selection process.

Also, I'd say that support from other units is just as important for situational awareness, if not more so, than the vehicle design itself. In this case, we know that the Ukrainian Bradley had excellent drone support, which is why we got this footage

>i wouldn't be surprised to see them send barely trained gopniks into battle with minimal training just to stem the bleeding.
It seems unlikely that the Russians would give T-90Ms to untrained tankers. That's their most valuable tank.

>well we dont need reusability and cheaper and more frequent launch cadence because everybody builds big expensive bespoke satellites that cost more than the launch
>and why is that?
>b-because our rocket is expensive and outdated and our cadence means you can only get one of your satellites up every 2 years so they have to last a long time and be really mass-efficient

You can pay for it to be launched from Earth at a rate of $200 per KG.

2000kg vehicle = Roughly $400K to transport. + Mars grade specialized vehicle would cost another $100-500K worth of modifications. Its not feasable for most people. Instead just take the company self driving vehicle in the tunnel for travel between various nodes(cities/depots/domes/launch pad/mining stations/etc).

Only reason why he'd step down despite his incredibly short tenure is so that he can avoid being subpoena'd under official request by Congress while being the head of FAA and then put into a corner he can't talk his way out of. By resigning and being a civilian, even if subpoena'd, he has the flexibility to say "I can't speak for the present head of the FAA" or along the lines of "I no longer work there and thus do not have the capacity to speak for them, you will have to redirect your queries to them."

It's how you avoid scrutiny and responsibility for your actions that more than likely have not been above board or influenced by external political factors that you'd rather not disclose or point fingers to, out of personal or political fear.

>Marc Andreessen on what makes Elon impossible to compete with

>“I’m not aware of another CEO who operates the way he does.”

>Marc believes you have to go back in history to the industrialists of the late 1800s and early 1900s to find founders comparable to Elon Musk (e.g. Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Watson, Andrew Mellon, Cornelius Vanderbilt).

>“Those guys ran very similar to the way Elon runs things… The top line thing is just this incredible devotion from the leader of the company to fully, deeply understand what the company does, to be completely knowledgeable about every aspect of it, and to be in the trenches and talking directly to the people who do the work to deeply understand the issues. And then be the lead problem solver in the organization. Basically what Elon does is he shows up every week at each of his companies, identifies the biggest problem the company’s having that week and he fixes it. He does that every week for 52 weeks in a row and then each of his companies has solved the 52 biggest problems that year.”

>Marc juxtaposes this process with more conventional CEOs who respond to problems with planning, meetings, and reports.

>The other crucial factor in Elon’s success that Marc points to is his ability to attract incredible talent:

>“Many of the best people in the world want to work with him because if you work with Elon the expectations are through the roof in terms of your level of performance. And he is going to know who you are and what you’ve done. He’s going to know what you’ve done this week and if you’re underperforming. And he may fire you in the meeting if you’re not carrying your weight. But if you are as committed to the company as he is, and hard working and capable, many people who have worked for him say that they had the best experience of their lives.”

>Marc recalls a famous line from somebody who joined SpaceX from another aerospace company and said, “It’s like being dropped into a shocking zone of competence. Everybody around me is so absolutely competent.”

>And lastly, as Marc argues, Elon’s technical ability is another competitive advantage versus non-technical CEOs:

>“When he identifies the bottleneck, he goes and talks to the line engineers who understand the technical nature of the bottleneck… He’s not asking the VP of Engineering to ask the Director of Engineering to ask the manager to ask the individual contributor to write a report that’s to be reviewed in three weeks. He doesn’t do that. What he does is he goes and personally finds the engineer who actually has the knowledge about the thing, and then he sits in the room with that engineer and fixes the problem with them. And again, this is why he inspires such incredible loyalty from especially the technical people who he works with. They’re just like, ‘Wow, if I’m up against a problem I don’t know how to solve, freaking Elon Musk is going to show up in his Gulfstream and he’s going to sit with me overnight in front of the keyboard or in front of the manufacturing line and help me figure this out.’”

Would beaners influence the culture due to how many would be imported to weld the ships or would it still be preserved boring shit? Im assuming that at 5000 pop the colony would still be reliant on imports but would have enough food to survive on locally produced foods but that would mostly consist of plants and fungus with meat being a delicacy, unless someone made a bug farm to feed chickens.

>The payload, GPS III SV-07, is the seventh satellite of the GPS III constellation, built by Lockheed Martin. The satellite had been previously slated for a late 2025 launch aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Vulcan rocket but was reassigned to a SpaceX Falcon 9 this summer.
>The decision to accelerate the launch of SV-07 was made in mid-2024 when uncertainty around the Vulcan rocket’s readiness led Space Force leaders to reassess their options. Horne emphasized that this move was less about Vulcan delays and more about testing the boundaries of the NSSL program’s flexibility. “This is a way for us to demonstrate to adversaries that we can be responsive,” he said.

and the other providers have partnered with ASTS Space Mobile, so who knows

>NASA endorses “continuous heartbeat” approach to human presence in LEO
>The concept of “continuous heartbeat,” she said, was what most people thought of when defining a continuous human presence: having people in LEO continuously. On the other hand, “continuous capability” meant retaining the ability to send people to LEO, but opened the door to having gaps in an actual crewed presence in orbit.
