I don't have a concrete answer, but I wonder how much of the development progress and flight cadence for F9 was limited by not having enough customer payloads to put up - because spacex didn't have the money to burn on flights for testing purposes only. Starlink (and starshield) money enables the hardware rich high cadence testing for starship where you're limited by how fast you can build the things rather than needing a customer launch contract to guarantee you have the financial runway to build the next set of flight hardware

Martians are military jingoists who can't even fight a war and proceed to instantly enter a collective ennui when they get slapped.

Transporter missions go into sun-synchronous orbit, while Bandwagon aim for a "mid-inclination orbit" like 45d. Starlink rideshares go wherever that particular batch was aimed for.

Is the sky of Venus really yellow like the Venera photographs? I read that the yellow sky was added to the images in post using actual colour data from the cameras, but I didn't quite understand how they reached that conclusion. SpaceEngine shows Venus' sky as more of a thick white, which makes sense to me seeing as it's just CO2.

>This could be an incredible revolution in Cosmology. The Dark Energy model of the universe, which won a Nobel Prize in 2011, may be completely wrong. The accelerating expansion instead is simply because time runs faster in the voids between galaxies.

>Dark Energy, a mysterious unknown entity that makes accounts for 69% of the total energy constant, drives a constant volumetric expansion of space. More space means more expansion, which is why the size is accelerating. Here's where it might be completely wrong. It assumes that space is homogenous, or roughly the same density everywhere. However space is extremely inhomogenous - there are regions of dense galactic clusters, and then massive voids between them

>Mass curves spacetime to produce gravity. But, there's no difference between being accelerated by gravity or accelerating from a rocket. This is called Einsteins Equivalence principle, and applying it to inhomogenous cosmology may eliminate Dark Energy altogether. This is because the further down a gravitational well you are, the slower clocks run compared to clocks further up-well. The important thing is this: In the voids between large galaxies time runs much faster than inside galaxies, and these voids are inhomogenous. If you had an initial expansion of the universe from the Big Bang, more time has elapsed in the voids - possibly billions of years more

The purpose of starship is heavy lift to GTO and Mars landing. Starships should be used to construct a station rather than going all the fucking way to mars on their own. Given transit times, shit breaking, you need to send hundreds of people at once, with triple redundancy in all systems. Otherwise, shit breaks, everyone dies in transit bc theres no chance of resupply. You need a big station, rotating, with lots of supplies, full recycling of organic waste to reuse for food grown on station, and either a fuckton of solar panels or a nuclear power plant and ion thrusters bc slow boating w chemical thrusters to mars is stupid.

Starlink is literally the monopoly buster.
Tell me, would you have a singular choice of DSL provider that will charge you $100 a month for 10mbps DSL or would rather have that choice and the choice of starlink?

To say that because Starlink is the only choice for 100mbps internet that it's a monopoly is incorrect, that's just called being a superior service.

It probably the toxic boiling lead hot atmosphere problem Venus has that limits interest in it. Just not much you can do there other than send down probes that last a few hours at most. Meanwhile the Moon and Mars look like they will be possible targets for permanent human research stations and settlements within the decade, and various asteroids and moons viable a few decades after that. Now, once humanity has very large scale space infrastructure maybe something can be done about Venus's heat problem, but that will likely be centuries away at the minimum.

>It’s About Damn Time: Starship's Upgraded Flaps & Nosecone

>Starship's body flaps and nosecone are some of the spacecraft's most visually striking features, especially compared to a more traditional rocket. While they undoubtedly add visual flair, they have a very important functional purpose, and SpaceX's next-generation ship introduces several substantial upgrades to improve entry performance, vehicle mass, and payload capacity.

>All the way back in July of 2021, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk noted that Starship's forward flaps were not in the optimal configuration, and as such, a future iteration of the ship would feature an enhanced design.

bellyflop is great, probably the best option at this point. exposing all your engines and the rest of that smaller area to the same heat and forces as the much larger area of the belly doesn't seem smart. that area would have to be either getting much hotter to keep the same entry profile or the same kid of heat for much longer anyway.

Could SpaceX do a manned Venus flyby during the Trump admin? Could make up for the fact that a manned mission to Mars is impossible during his term (even if launched in 2028), and would be a good rehearsal for sending a manned starship into deep space ahead of a potential 2031 mission.

but no, not gonna happen. musk is balls deep on mars, anything else is a distraction. maaaaybe if someone else were to pay spacex to do it, then perhaps. but I don't see any gubinment from urf doing so, and such a mission would be way too expensive for any single individual to afford.

SpaceX using $10 worth of Argon on each Starlink as fuel vs previously ~$1.2M for Krypton/Xenon

Anonymous at Tue, 24 Dec 2024 15:46:25 UTC No. 16522773

what will the holidays on Mars be? Probably will use the Martian year system (687 Earth days long). I can see
Day of First Arrival (obvious and probably will be made into a thanksgiving equivalent)
New Years is an easy one
Christmas? Maybe the winter solstice would work. depends on where first colonization happens then whether north (550ish days) or south (190ish days)
Leap Year Day would depend on the calendar
Spring Equinox I guess (easter is fun)
Maybe the day the first lander/probe got to mars too

And ~0.93% of air is Argon. The process of extracting argon requires cryogenics and distillation. SpaceX is currently doing cryogenics with rocket launches. They're currently doing distillation for their ISRU studies for Methane collection. So might as well be doing the same study for gathering argon as well, since 90% of the steps is already being done.

The Martian calender begins when the first crewed Starship lands, that will be year one. Every event that happened before this will be in the year "Before [last name of the first person to step foot on Martian soil]" (B[last initial). Years will be counted in Martian years and months will be 56~ days long.
