Flight 6 was the most boring Starship flight so far. Flight 7 will be boring too, but at least using V2. It won't be till Flight 8 before we finally get something interesting with Starship catch, which probably means orbit since reentry wont become aligned with the tower otherwise. Perhaps first payload deploy too, I dont see why not.
Flight 9 onward should deploy Starlink v3, unless they want to test full scale prop transfer, but that requires two launches, probably within a month span or shorter. After that, focus will be iterations learned from Starlink launches until they are comfortable with reflight. Booster reflight could happen by mid-2025, and if heatshield iteration occurs quickly a ship may refly by end of 2025. After thinking on it, I expect they will focus on reuse iteration before refueling or even better simultaneously if cadence increases

A permanent depot isnt part of any architecture until Artemis 5, where did you see that included in the 2025 transfer demo? Unless plans have changed. It comes down to priority anyway, and Spacex cares more about Starship reuse than HLS. Not that they can't work on both, but they have been taking a deliberate gradual path with each flight, with seemingly fewer major variable differences between them

Why is it always presented as nothing but a cylinder? A propellant depot needs two important things, power supply and good insulation. That's why in many papers they have a sun shade and solar panels. Does it mean that Starship depot has fuel cells?
Apart from that, if SpaceX wants to make their propellant depots more efficient, they should invest in zero boil-off technology, with reliquefaction plant.

having tanker ships refill a prop depot would be easier than having them refill HLS because you don't end up as constrained on needing x launches within some short time period due to orbits not aligning beyond that. Depot allows you to refill whenever is convenient because it would have better anti boil off measures in place. Plus every time you dock and undock is a potential failure, so having the depot as the intermediary buys down some of that risk for HLS as it would only need to do it once instead of 12+ times. If the depot is lost for whatever reason, you can just put a new one up and it delays you by a couple months. Losing HLS would be a much more significant delay

Elon Musk and all who follow his apostate church of space ARE THE GREAT FILTER that stops us from living in space. When they fail, and they will fail, normies will turn against space and demand no money ever be spent on it again. Elon will trap humans on Earth, possibly forever.

I watched (listened) to this video. The title makes it seem significantly more controversial than it actually is. She ultimately concludes that Mars colonization is unlikely to happen without geopolitical pressure (like the Moon landings), and that while Musk isn't motivated by money to do it, he is heavy overpromising in regards to the timeline of colonization and the amount of people willing to volunteer for it, and will likely struggle to finance it even with his wealth (I disagree here, SpaceX is already making a killing via Starlink). At no point is she personally against colonizing Mars or the current efforts of SpaceX.

The unelected regulatory state has been doing the work of legislature, which is illegal, and now thankfully determined so by the Supreme Court. Everything is up for interpretation to some extent.

Last night at like 3am i suddenly had the urge to engage in space autism and put a bunch of shit into desmos
So I'm trying to solve the question "how many refueling flights will starship actually need for Artemis?" question once and for all.
To do that, I need estimates for several values that seem realistic:
>s+p
whats a good estimate for the dry mass of the lunar starship variant?
On the one hand we can ditch the flaps and heat shield, on the other we need landing legs, life support systems etc.
So Im currently going with an even 100t for the lunar starship + another 50 tons of payload, for a total dry-mass of 150 tons. (p + s)
>m
second problem is, how much payload of fuel can we get from earth to LEO in specialized tanker starships?
I'm currently going with 100t which is a conservative estimate IMO
>i
wikipedia says 380s for raptor vac, added the slider because just 1s of isp more or less can make or break a flight
>z
so how much delta-v do we actually need to get to the moon? map in pic related claims 8.2km/s if you "perfectly" utilize aerobreaking, hence saving a good chunk of req delta v to get back to earth.
its 11.32 km/s if you don't use any aerobreaking at all to get back to LEO.
The current path is
>LEO -> GTO -> MT -> C/E ->LLO -> LS ->LLO -> C/E -> MT
Now, how much of the 2.44 and 0.68 km/s to get back to Earth from Moon-Earth Transfer do we actually need? 5%, 10?
>t
I think block 2 is larger, so more fuel possible? currently 1500t bc wikipedia
With a fully fueled Lunar starship, Artemis mission is obviously possible, see pic related and would even using very conservative/pessimistic estimates require a maximum of 15 flights,
Question is, how low can I push that number, how should I tweak the individual variables?

p = 1 ton
s = 4 tons (that seems really low for the dry ship mass desu, but chatgpt said so?)
m = 29 tons (which again seems really low, but idk?)
f = 1 (because tank capacity t is 29 tons apparently?)
i = 445s BE-3U vac engine, finally something where I can get the info
z = 0.05 just as starship calculation
t = 29 tons, (again dubious source)
all those values seem incredibly low, while it doesn't need any refueling flights, as New Glenn LEO cap is 45 tons, while the total weight of the vehicle including payload is only 34 or 35 tons, at least according to chatgpt, I couldn't actually find any data on that anywhere else, tho I could probably make some guesstimates based on the thrust and amount of engines.
So can New Glenn moon mission only send like 2 tons to the Moon or something? the fck is going on?
Even if I adjust the values optimistically and add the missing 10 tons of fuel to fully use the launch capability of the New Glenn, I can only get like 5 tons of payload to lunar surface and back to earth.

SpaceX is the 1. preferred workplace for new engineers and they are expected to work insane hours + they have Musk
Musk has an almost unprecedented combo of intelligence * hard work * determination * risk taking over decades
if you assume those traits are mostly uncorrelated, then its very rare for a person to have a combo of these traits
for instance if you just look at intelligence, even if you look at people with 3 standard deviations over the mean (145), then that is 0.15% of the population
assuming the population is the "west" is around 1 bil, 0.15% of that is still 1.5 million people, not that rare
but take 4 uncorrelated traits that each in the top 1% (so someone with an IQ of like 135) and multiply them together and you have 100 of these people in a population of 1 billion
so I think it has to be some combo of traits like that for Musk, its not just intelligence

Someone bought a bunch of commercial satellite imagery and broke down the results of the Russian Oreshnik strike on Yuzhmash a month ago
>I believe these images confirm Ted Postol’s assessment that the Oreshnik’s kinetic projectiles deliver the approximate energy of a 250kg bomb, though the nature of this energy is different. The projectiles are moving so quickly that they punch a hole through most anything until they hit the ground. When we see severe enough roof failure to get a good look at the damage, we see an impact crater 100ft in diameter and a lot of dirt. This implies that the projectile is penetrating into or through the foundation of the building. These structures were built by the Soviets and are extremely tough, so if the projectiles are capable of punching through them and reaching earth (or pulverizing the foundations enough that they look like earth), they’re delivering a lot of energy.
>The Russians have solved the problem of how to cost-effectively attack dispersed targets with a ballistic missile. That doesn’t make it an all-powerful doomsday device, and it would likely take many Oreshniks to render a large facility like an air base (or Yuzhmash) completely inoperable. But the Russians do have the capability to mass produce them, and have openly stated their intent to do so, which makes the system a potential strategic game changer.

Yes, it is literally Boing's fault that the next crew launch is delayed. They were supposed to do half of the ISS crew launches, and so far they've only gotten as far as their first crewed launch, and screwed that pooch.
SpaceX planed for a certain number of Dragon capsules to launch, and didn't expect to need to build more. But since they've been covering Boing's missed launches, they needed a new Crew Dragon, and it's running late.
If Starliner had actually been doing its job, SpaceX wouldn't have to be making an extra capsule to rescue Boing's incomplete mission.

>Although the flight conditions were clearly not normal, the sequence continued, with the first stage separating in approximately 141 seconds (planned to be 148 seconds), the second stage igniting in approximately 142 seconds, and the fairing separating in approximately 168 seconds (planned to be 148 seconds). 175 seconds). However, the aircraft's autonomous flight safety system interrupted the flight at approximately 187 seconds, as the aircraft was about to exceed the preset flight range.
>Although it was not a normal flight the aircraft was able to reach the end of its first stage combustion and achieved a maximum altitude of 110.7 km. Although the mission of placing the satellite into orbit could not be accomplished it was able to reach outer space.
>At a press conference after the launch the company's director Mamoru Endo explained the problems that occurred during this flight. However, all we know at this point is that, "an abnormality occurred in the nozzle drive control." The specifications of Kairos have not been made public, but according to Director Endo this TVC uses an electric actuator. In addition, TVC allows pitch control and yaw control but roll control cannot be performed if it is a type with only one nozzle in the center like Kairos. The Epsilon rocket, which has a similar configuration, is equipped with a side jet for roll control. According to Director Endo, the first stage of the Kairos does not have a jet and does not perform roll control.

There's clearly shit wrong with the Lambda model but nobody is willing to question anything. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if plasma cosmology is right on a few things. Don't even really know if the CMB is an actual black body or just something we don't understand, especially since we filter the image to match what we want it to be, so we could be fucking it up just to reinforce said theories that are probably wrong.
tll;dr science is gay.

Cooling is a really big problem when your exhaust is a nuclear fireball and inducing said nuclear explosion via fusion is really, really hard. Just build project orion, the nuke numbers are actually kind of reasonable. Project orion is basically a fusion drive anyway.

It would be reasonable, if regs didnt get in the way, to construct SSTO nuclear spaceplanes from TRISO based reactors. TRISO fuel cant melt down and its safe enough that you could literally crash it and scatter it everywhere and little kids could eat it and poop out the triso pellets with zero cancer risk.
Triso reactor -> helium loop turboramjet -> scramjet -> once in upper atmosphere shutdown scramjets and use high thrust plasma drives. Chemical rockets wont cut it for power output without this rube goldberg bullshit spacex is trying.

There's this idea that I've never heard of before and have absolutely no idea what the fuck it even is but supposedly it's a fusion design for surface to orbit. It's called a reciprocating fusion engine.

>2. we can't build 12m wide circles in space yet
I don't think that's really an issue in regards to "is it possible or not" but rather just a logistical issue that can be fixed. So more of a money issue than anything else.
>3. the epstein drive was a lot more advanced than the one in that paper, more like this
This design gives you something that isn't far off from what the Epstein drive could do in the expanse.
>>16518737
>Cooling issue
The pellet gets detonated 200-300 meters away from the ship and given the design of the pellet, most of the nasty radiation gets blown away from the ship reducing shielding requirements and the need to radiate the heat away.

I don't have access to the full paper but based on my knowledge of Slough's other designs it looks like it's basically a fusion equivalent of a turbofan, using a field-reversed plasma to create fusion pulses (like an ELF thruster turned up to fusion temperatures) and then drawing air through the engine to heat and boost thrust. I'm not sure what makes it reciprocating.

You do realise that sea levels have to be used for every in-space burn for gimballing (+ throttling reducing ISP) which drops average ISP to 350-360s. I don't like that delta v chart, use NASA's one; it has issues to discuss, but it's more broadly useful then the numbers you've got going on.
>>16518163
>s = 4 tons (that seems really low for the dry ship mass desu, but chatgpt said so?)
Holy shit you fucking moron don't use fucking chatgpt as your source for dry/wet mass numbers. Writing aid or pointing in right direction is fine, but the whole problem of hallucinating stuff is awful for specific numbers. There is a 16 ton dry mass number on wikipedia (which is from Blue) and took me 5 seconds to find. It'll launch with as much propellant as possible to LEO on New Glenn, but not fully fueled. You can figure out wet mass by deriving it from the delta v requirements of NRHO->Lunar surface->NRHO.

Okay, using your map I need 8.8 km/s delta v to get a payload from LEO to the moon and then back to earth.
using the reduced i=350s and 100t shipmass + 1500t of fuel in LEO I can get an additional 25t of payload to and from the moon.
with regards to my chatgpt use with respect to the New Glenn numbers, I actually could not find any numbers on wikipedia, tho maybe I'm just blind or retarded.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_G
could you spoonfeed me where you got that info from?
NRHO->Lunar surface->NRHO.
shouldn't it be LEO -> Lunar surface -> Earth surface?
thats a whole bunch of extra delta-v needed.
furthermore
>There is a 16 ton dry mass number on wikipedia (which is from Blue) and took me 5 seconds to find. It'll launch with as much propellant as possible to LEO on New Glenn
Since New Glenn has a 45t to LEO cap, that'd mean a 16t dry mass + 29t of fuel...
Thats a mass ratio (m_wet/m_dry) of 2.81:1, which seems INCREDIBLY LOW, compared to e.g. Starship or other rockets with values approaching 20:1.
At least with the 8.8 km/s a m_dry = 16t vehicle simply cannot get to the Lunar surface, let alone back to earth again on a 45t payload cap New Glenn rocket.
So why exactly do I only need to go NRHO->Lunar surface->NRHO when I'm starting in LEO?

all she needs is a little cock correction, literally every lesbian woman i've ever known eventually stopped having relationships with other women and backtracked to "i'm a bisexual" after getting with a man and never having a homosexual relationship ever again, even my stepsister (no i didn't dick her) did this.
this casual bisexuality you see in women is actually a natural dynamic that's pretty well documented, women can't be in proper romantic "love" with another women, but a majority of them are not as opposed to same-sex sexual activity and don't see it as "icky" the way two normal men do.
my hypothesis is that this is basically an instinct that helps multiple women get along with eachother in a harem relationship where one man has a committal relationship with multiple women.
so to get back on topic, these rocketgirls might shlick it with eachother, but they're really only doing it to release sexual frustration and would both team up to bow down to your cock the moment you offered it.

Quark stars are real though. Most of what we call black holes are probably quark stars. There is no reason quark stars shouldn't form. But black holes are clearly a ridiculous result of GR and when someone has a theory of quantum gravity, it will probably prevent black hole formation.

i mean, that's true, but i felt it would be more fitting since starship is a pureblooded texan with sun-kissed skin with a spunky go-getter tomboy attitude and SLS is very federal/governmental in nature, very stuck in her ways, plus she's not only built in alabama, there are many many components and subcontractors from all over the US that contribute.
i picked transatlantic specifically since it's usually quite a formal accent and isn't really around anymore, it was more popular in the time where SLS's parts were concieved (the shuttle program).

>Of the four satellites, one named "AGILA" will provide broadband access to the Philippines through Orbits Corp, two named "NuView-A and NuView-B" will be leased to Anuvu to provide internet connectivity to airplanes and cruise ships, and the final satellite named "UtilitySat", which will be reconfigurable on orbit, will temporarily provide replacement services for the failed Arcturus satellite.

Mongolia was one of the third round of signatories to COPUOS back in 1961, and they probably only joined to give the USSR a bit more presence when they joined in the same year. They have a positive view of space activities today but aren't making much investment into developing them. They're a lot like the remaining non-Artemis ESA nations; they just don't have that much skin in the game so there's little incentive to join any major initiatives

Liftoff is scheduled for 3:34 AM PST (11:34 UTC), with another opportunity the next day at 3:12 AM PST if the launch should be delayed. This flight carries 30 payloads for a variety of customers, including a synthetic aperture radar satellite for South Korea. The spacecraft are heading for a 45-degree inclination, with deployments expected in circular orbits at around 510 and 570 kilometers in altitude.
>Bandwagon-2 is scheduled for launch less than eight hours after a mission for Astranis is due to lift off from Florida, making it SpaceX’s 131st Falcon mission of 2024, with five more scheduled for the remainder of December. After having a slower third quarter with only 27 launches, this is already the 39th in the fourth quarter of the year. The next SpaceX flight is expected to carry Starlink satellites early Monday morning from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Maxing out credit cards to pay for a ticket to Mars then simply never going back to Earth is a based strategy though. Rather, paying for commodity goods which you then sell for cash to pay for the ticket. Do everything you can to get your credit ceiling as high as possible, leverage it all at once, then literally just leave the planet.

Even if all that is true, I don't think he gives a shit about it. His focus is on Starship and Mars. Gwynne has the necessary clearance and she can run shop on that front.

It might be based on an awareness of the scale of the apollo command module.
You (we) have seen tons of media on the apollo missions, so anyone interested in space has a decent feel for the size of the command module / lander based on hollywood and other media.
It's harder to get a grasp of scale with Starship because it's pretty rare to have pictures of people sitting next to it, let alone actually being inside its cargo bay. The most we get is telephoto shots from 1000's of yards away.
Pencil-dick syndrome (>>16519654) might be a cause as well, but I really think it's just because we haven't been inundated with media of humans standing next to that chrome whore.

Ok some additional rumor mill talk about Qianfan.
They're currently built by two companies, Genesat and Shanghai Microsat, each company builds one out of two batch, they're currently being contracted for an initial run of ~320 satellites each to be produced by end of 2025, 1st and 3rd batch were by Shanghai Microsat, 2nd and 4th by Genesat.
Late in november all of the Qianfan satellites of the second batch of Qianfan stopped their orbit raising (800km polar to 1100 km polar), it's now increasingly rumoured that it was because of a problem in their electric propulsion, which is specific to the Genesat-built sats, as a result the 4th batch is possibly being investigated or even recalled. If true that particular CZ-8 launch may not happen until some months.

2016 was a long time ago. That whole program seems to have stalled out around the same time that Dream Chaser lost its commercial crew bid and DC's development timeline started to stretch out to infinity. Sometime after that someone decided that Dream Chaser should fly that mission on an Ariane 6 and that made things even worse. Which sucks, because it's an interesting sounding program that they could easily handle onboard a free-flying cargo dragon if they really wanted to.
It was only a Memorandum of Understanding anyway. That's the sort of bureaucratic thing that says "we like this idea, but no one with any real influence is willing to commit anything to push for it."

The twin towers were not unique in being vertical. They realized that with a large enough plaza, they could comply with the setback rules and otherwise make a wholly vertical building. There are several examples from that decade throughout Manhattan.

Starship prototypes were basically built on the beach. The sort of thinking that all satellites need to be built in clean rooms because military spy satellites are built that way is similar to the belief that you can't use stainless steel because no one else uses it so you just can't okay despite nobody actually running the numbers until Elon demanded it.

Of course, the efficiencies required for mass production demand it. My point being a lot of the cool stuff doesn't require that sort of environment at all. After Jake McKenzie took over Raptor development his engineering team moved their desks to the production line. There was no seperate production team, at least not initially. There was no proper factory at the time either. The engineers had total control over every aspect of design, production and testing. Very hands on and Elon was in nearly all their meetings during that time period.

Titan diameter is 5100km. Divide that by 4 to get the distance from the equator to the pole (1275km).
Dragonfly can do 60km per titan day (16 earth days) https://dragonfly.jhuapl.edu/News-a
1275/60 * 16 = 340 days

You need to work with the circumference of the body, which for titan would be about 16000km. Lowest latitude lake is about 70 degrees north, so assuming you landed due south of it, you'd need to travel about 3000km to get there. 3.75km per Earth day is 1370km per Earth year, so actually about 2 years of hauling ass. That's definitely possible but that presumes no meandering for checking out interesting areas along the way. But even with that you'd expect to reach the lakes within 4 years

>The U.S. Space Force reported Dec. 19 that it had identified a “low-velocity fragmentation event” involving the DMSP-5D2 F14 spacecraft. The event took place at 9:10 p.m. Eastern Dec. 18 at an altitude of 840 kilometers, but the announcement did not disclose how much debris had been created by the event. Two commercial space situational awareness companies, LeoLabs and Slingshot Aerospace, said they were also tracking the breakup event. Slingshot, in a Dec. 19 social media post, said they believe the breakup took place before 8:15 p.m. Eastern on the 18th, an hour earlier than the Space Force’s estimate, based on tracking from its optical ground stations. LeoLabs, in a Dec. 20 statement to SpaceNews, said its network of radars was tracking more than 50 objects from the fragmentation of DMSP-5D2 F14.
>DMSP-5D2 F14 is part of a family of spacecraft that have suffered breakups in orbit. The F12 satellite broke up in October 2016, following the breakup of F13 in February 2015. In 2004, the F11 spacecraft broke up, creating 56 pieces of tracked debris. All the satellites had a battery assembly with a design flaw that made them vulnerable to explosion. A similar spacecraft design was used for a line of civilian polar-orbiting weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The NOAA-16 satellite broke up in November 2015, followed by NOAA-17 in March 2021.

Starship seems to be improving cadence at roughly the same rate as the first F9 flights, but from a much lower starting point. I predict Starship will reach the same cadence as F9 today in 60% the time it took F9.
It took F9 about 14 years to reach a flight rate of 15 flights per month. I predict it will take Starship ~8 years to achieve the same flight rate (meaning 6 years to go, since we're nearly 2 years in). The path to reusability and the scalability of Starship is still uncertain, so I think it can plausibly reach the current rate sooner or later than that.
So 15 Starship flights a month by 2031.

No, it's basically Space Rivian. I suspect the original plan was to use it to build out more Amazon offices and warehouses off grid but now they're shrinking so ayy lmao.
