It would depend on the fuel gained by flattening out the bottom of the dome, the weight savings from not using extended nozzles and the production streamlining from not producing specific vacuum raptors.

IDK if current RVACs even capable of being restarted? Is spaceX even intending for then to be restarted? It hasn't been demonstrated, only the center sea level raptors seem to be the focus for relights and orbit changes.

RVACs only seem to exist because they otherwise fit in the current design.

Why is Musk not delivering?
I mean fundamentally speaking Starship is nothing more but a big rocket.
And yet neither the landing part (optional) nor the orbital part seems to be working.
We are not landing on the Moon any time soon as it seems Starship is not gonna leave prototype stage during this decade.

It took Saturn V just 10 years to go from a plan on a piece of paper to a man walking on the Moon.
Starship is already taking longer with nothing working in sight...
Why is that?

There's no guarantee it's going to be successful.
They're no way near demonstrating refueling in space.
While all they're trying to do seems feasible in principle it's just taking way too long.

Time matters.
Being able to do something cheaper, but in 5x amount of time (so not really cheaper nominally, just cheaper per unit of time) is not really that impressive.
Not just my opinion.
Opinion of the whole free market world - as it greatly prefers short-time returns over (even bigger) long-term ones.

It's just a function of how long single human life is.
If people lived for 1000 years then maybe it would be different.

Partially-build cathedrals just remain in place.
Space exploration is a dynamic process where not only you have to maintain interest of the society but more importantly your own manufacturing processes and production lines.
Meanwhile companies rarely survive just a single succession in the same state as before, especially not companies involved in industries of such size and complexity as space exploration.

It's not usually free energy, you steal rotational momentum from the planet. This means Venus gravity assists that stop its gay backwards motion and make it spin a little more prograde actually are free since we want it to spin up and stabilize a magnetic field.

He tries to debunk the raptor engine, arguing that the thrust is lower than initial estimates in 2017, says that the excuse of environmental regulations is nonsense, insists that starship STILL hasn't gone to orbit and its payload is 0, that all the money has been spent already, that starship exploded (??) when it soft landed in the ocean, etc etc. Also, he literally lies saying that the launch license for ITF-1 was granted in August 2022, arguing that spacex was simply not ready because they finally launched six months later. he goes all out against kathy lueders, jared isaacman, NASA, marcus house, etc etc. HLS contract is not really fixed-price because they were given more, they delivered nothing, musk has to go to jail for stealing taxpayers' money, but he won't now because of trump.

> Mars 2 and 3 magnetometer experiments report the existence of an intrinsic planetary magnetic field, sufficiently strong to form a magnetopause, deflecting the solar wind around the planet and its ionosphere. This is in contrast to the case for Venus, where it is assumed to be the ionosphere and processes therein which are responsible for the solar wind deflection. An empirical relationship appears to exist between planetary dipole magnetic moments and their angular momentum for the Moon, Mars, Venus, Earth, and Jupiter.

First, they were held back by the demilitarization after the war. It's hard to develop rockets when you're not allowed to develop things that are too close to ICBMs. Once they got out from under that it was the 1980s and the Shuttle program had them chasing Hydrolox+Solids just like Europe. That led to them designing the H-2 which was just a very Japanese version of the Ariane 5, complete with the hypothetical minishuttle that was supposed to ride on top. They've been slowly working to refine that into something that's economically workable ever since.

That's just launch vehicles, though. They're pretty good when it comes to payloads, although they are held back there by not having a budget as large as Europe or America.

>Elon Musk will not receive highest-level government security clearance – reports
>Musk currently holds a “top-secret” clearance that took years to obtain after he discussed use of marijuana on a 2018 podcast with Joe Rogan, according to the outlet. But that may not be enough to have access to information about US government payloads in his rockets.
>SpaceX lawyers and executives reportedly concluded that if the company sought a higher level of clearance than Musk currently holds, he risked being turned down and potentially stripped of the clearances he currently holds.

>This is a photo of the Kairos rocket No. 2. This was approximately 110 seconds after liftoff. As you can see from the flight wake, the aircraft was tumbling as it flew. At this point, the first stage motor had already finished burning, so the smoke was from remaining fuel and I believe there was very little thrust being produced.

what's this, an updated version of Pascal's wager? Also, you could say that you are indeed losing something when you believe in god or whatever: basically wasting a good chunk of your life worshiping such deity (perhaps not that true in the 21st century, though), restraining yourself from a myriad of things/acts (pork, anyone?), following certain rules, and last but not least, you are ideologically chained to this god and thus not really "free" in life. Of course, this is always assuming that there are only two scenarios: either God, as in the one in Christianity, exists or not. But if you add the many, and many deities that humanity has come up with throughout its existence, then this whole analysis turns kind of pointless. You only had 4 situations at first, because there were 2 questions or axes to begin with (god exists/ doesn't exist, and I believe or don't believe). Now, when you add hundreds of more deities, you'll end up with hundreds of axes in this new compass.

>>16516873
(cont.)
If you believe in one of those gods, now falling into a certain quadrant in the compass/spectrum, then you are not believing in all the others, and thus, you will go to all those respective hells. But if you happen to believe in multiple of them, just to be safe, even though most religions are contradictory to each other, then you will still be punished by some of them, due to worshiping the incorrect deity. It's like playing roulette. You might as well take the default position, not believing in anything, skip this entire mess, and go on with your life. If if turns out that a deity is gonna punish you forever for not believing in them, then you were already fucked the moment you were born into this universe. A reality where a creator or deity basically coerces you into believing in them, who also does not directly show themselves, and instead is always ambiguous, hidden, and expects us all to take a leap of faith, while discouraging empirical and rational methods like the scientific method, is already a hell on itself.

They have literally no idea what they're talking about. They hate Musk so they immediately assume that every negative opinion about him is true. Most of those tards watch video from some retarded skeptic and act like experts.
Now think about it, if Musk was some clueless rich guy, would he really be able to found and run all those companies? Would he even try it? Just read Liftoff if you want to know how stuff really looks like.

She is basically just saying that terraforming Mars isn't feasible currently and that she thinks Mars colonization isn't currently worth it, dangerous and that Elon Musk probably won't gather enough money for it and probably not enough people would want to go to Mars. Her main points are just sociological and economical guesses and at the end she says that its probably possible to live in habitats on Mars if there is enough funding and that it makes sense to go to Mars for the long term Human survival but that current problems on Earth should get our attention and funding and not Mars colonization, at least not yet.

We'd still need one for shielding from solar radiation but looks like it, there needs to be more Martian resource studies or surveys though.

Ok I listened to the whole thing. She agrees that going to mars isn't economically feasible or that useful scientifically. However, she doesn't agree those are reasons not to try. Her main conclusion is that going to Mars is a good driver for technological development, but we should develop and advance those technologies first (habitation, propulsion and energy production) and then try and colonize mars.

There's a lot of background info she gives that I think /sfg/ is getting stuck in. She certainty doesn't seem to agree with black science man, and also throws some shade a rover scientists who are protective of their niche of the scientific community.

So solve multiple problems at once? The Earth won't completely halt if we go to Mars, we can fix our problems here while the colonists work independently over there

Slor canyons, lava tubes, tunnels

>propulsion

Chemical is fine, we are hopping to mars, not going 99999AU to fucking Pluto or whatever

>energy

Solar, nuclear if the government can be unfucked


Now kill yourself sabine
