8 h after the 2nd Longxing 2 flight and no official announcement , on the first flight the announcement happened 1h30 after the flight, fair to say there was a deviation from the plan.
Yet main sources claim that there was a succesful reentry burn, with a failure in the final controlled descent, furthermore some recent source claim a success, we may be seeing some case of goalpost shifting…

Let's add that in addition to the 300 tons of fuel, we also have 20 tons of mass-size models of Starlink 2.0, plus another 5 tons of additional mass due to the fact that Starship 2 is 2 meters longer than Starship 1, plus about 5 tons thanks to the new Penz dispenser, plus another 2-3 tons of additional equipment, which they add with each new flight in the form of additional stringers, anti-splash devices (especially in the Superheavy liquid oxygen tank), etc. This gives us about 330 tons more mass than the IFT-6. Or the mass of 5 heavy battle tanks, each weighing 66 tons. About 99% of this new mass was added to the Starship and only 1% to the Superheavy.
As a result, the weight that the 33 engines of the Superheavy now have to lift increases by 6.6% - from 5,000 to 5,330 tons. During the launch, it was obvious to the naked eye that the rocket was more cumbersome than previous flights, and in the end it achieved its weakest telemetry result to date, excluding IFT-1: 4,400 km/h, at an altitude of 60 kilometers at the moment of the booster engine shutdown.

>After the separation of the stages, the difficult fate of the six engines of the Starship began. The mass they had to accelerate to 26,500 km/h is not 6.6%, but a full 26% more than in previous flights. The thrust-to-weight ratio(TWR) for IFT-7 has dropped from 1.1 to 0.88, which means that the combined thrust of the six engines - 1464 tons, now lifts 1670 tons instead of 1325 tons. A TWR of 0.88 is usually not fatally low for a second stage, but in this case Starship was left by Superheavy in a much deeper gravity well than usual. For comparison, the TWR of the Falcon 9 second stage is even lower - 0.8 with full load of Starlinks, but the Falcon 9 booster takes it to an altitude of 62 kilometers and a speed of 8000 km/h. At IFT-7, at this point in the flight, Starship was 2 kilometers lower in altitude and 3,600 km/h slower. At such low levels, Starship's engines have to work at the limit of their capabilities to bring it to the required altitude and speed. And as we know from IFT-1 and in particular from the list of 63 FAA recommendations, Raptor2 and its piping systems are extremely susceptible to leaks when operating at full power - about a third of these 63 recommendations are directly or indirectly related to minimizing these leaks and extinguishing them with carbon dioxide if they occur. As can be seen in point C2, for example, the FAA requires that the fire protection system of the Superheavy be increased after IFT-1 by a factor of 15.
>However, from Musk's words about the accident at IFT-7, it follows that there is no fire protection system at all in the upper engine compartment of the second stage! To me, this is extremely strange.

>After IFT-1, SpaceX did everything possible to improve the reliability of the Raptor2, but it seems that no matter how much they tighten the nuts on the joints, those between 300 and 611 atmospheres of pressure constantly remind of themselves. Especially the 611 atmospheres of the methane turbopump. As can be seen in the photos, the amount of methane in the tank begins to drop after the first engine fails at a speed of 17,700 km/h. Judging by the volume of lost fuel, I can assume that this is not just a leak, but an extremely large-scale rupture of pipelines and connections. There, in the compartment between the engines, a huge fire really raged. It was this tendency of the Raptor2 to leak that prompted SpaceX to start working on the creation of the Raptor3 - an engine that is as close as possible to the state of a monolithic capsule. Starship 3 will be equipped with 9 of these Raptor3 engines instead of 6, but it will also add over 1,000 tons to its mass, so uncertainty about its ultimate success still hangs in the air.
>For the next SpaceX flight, the pipelines and connections of the methane tract, which operates under extremely high pressure, will have to be greatly reinforced. Because if such a large amount of methane leaks again, no fire-fighting system will be able to cope with such a flow.

They sent a bunch of rovers to Mars and exactly what did we learn?
There's nothing there except more rocks and dust which we already knew.
Life might have existed there which we already knew, and even if it did well its fucking already dead now.
There's water there which we already knew and a fuck load of good it does us.
I am sure the rovers provided planetary geologists with a series of mind blowing orgasms but the reality is that for all practical purposes they were an immense waste of resources that could have been directed towards sending a probe to Alpha Centauri. In terms of potential pay off this is the only worthwhile thing to do. We know the rest of Solar system is a dead worthless waste full of nothing but rock and gas. We should be focusing all our energy towards interstellar exploration. If that means building a moonbase and asteroid mining for that purpose, fine, but wasting money on giving some geologists fap material is a waste.
Also. Wasting so much money on pet projects, like that Black hole imaging, to stoke the egos of some chucklefucks is counter productive. We need a single focused goal into which ALL our energies and resources are allocated. That's how we got to the Moon.

He doesn't understand how these people derive their helplessness. I think its largely down to people being literal NPCs. And no the LLM kind, but the scripted kind where there is no reasoning but simple scripted heuristics/responses without any depth/understanding.
This phenomena isn't limited to Mars colonization but to everything.
It recently happened here with when SpaceX donated Starlinks, gave free month of service to affected victims, and enabled satellite phone over disaster areas. The NPC's only responses are limited scripted responses. "BUT THERE'S NO POWER." The helplessness is a byproduct of limited agency, limited free thinking agency and free mind.

Here's a perfect example of dumb fuckery taking resources away from exploring and potentially colonizing the stars.
"In the mid-2020’s, NASA will launch a helicopter-like lander the size of a small car toward Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Nearly a decade later, after crossing about a billion miles of empty darkness, this spacecraft, dubbed Dragonfly, will gently settle onto Titan’s sand dunes. The frigid temperatures will be colder than anywhere on Earth. But scientists believe this enigmatic world might harbor alien life."
Holy fuck, what a waste. Who gives a fuck except some 20 something bitches? If there is life it will only be some some bacterial analogue, and if there is life then just leave it alone, it wont be going anywhere soon. Discovering this shit makes as much economic sense as shooting a $800,000 missile to kill some cockroaches. ( Which our MiC seems fond of doing these days ).
Also stop spending money on fucking $13B aircraft carriers, leave foreign people the fuck alone, and spend the money on space exploration instead. Jesus.

Yeah some results may occur which are of interest to fuckwits, but its far better and way more efficient to seek and collect data directly relevant to one single overarching goal. Explore the stars. To this end all resources should be allocated, the necessary data will be retrieved from each relevant step directed towards the pursuit of this singular goal.

"Developed" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The SCE-200 has been cooking for over 15 years and it'll probably hit 20 before it could be considered ready for flight. It'll still probably fly, if only because India needs some kind of launcher upgrade to progress with its spaceflight goals, and the LVM3-SC could be ready well before the NGLV

Increase starship size so increase fuel so increase mass so increase engine performance, repeat until engines are unreliable because no man made creation runs reliably at 600bar and then realise your rocket is fucked and still has no payload capacity.

Playing RSS for ksp killed any delusions and love I had for getting to space. Airbreathing-anything makes no sense at all. The idea that some engines can save you 1km/s perhaps 2km/s, and still be useful inspite of all the engineering mass needed to do that is stupid. I'm amazed so many serious people still tried it.

Appears those numbers exclude insects (and worms) which dominate livestock (two times each).
Rough proportions:
Mass of humans is about nine times wild mammals;
Mass livestock (cattle sheep goats pigs fowl) about 140% of human mass and thirteen times that of wild mammals;
There's a lot of fish mass though: seven times that of livestock;
Not much wild bird biomass, about 28% of wild mammals, so quite conceivable that it's less than domesticated birds;

Eh, it's a Ukrainian-assisted design, but given how little luck Yuzemash has had completing their own RD-800 related projects I'm not sure how much help they've really been. If they'd had technical skill on par with the French for the Vikas or the Russians for the CE-7.7 the SCE-200 would have been completed years ago. In 1991 China bought three RD-120 engines from Ukraine along with all of the related technical documentation and they still didn't get the YF-100 certified for use until 2012. I'll buy the far from complete part but that's mostly because India has had to do most of the work themselves.

IFT 3 was the hot-dog roll reentry, IFT 2 had the FTS go off near the end of the upper stage burn just like with flight 7. I can still keep track of each flight in my head but it's getting harder, especially since the last two were sort of steps backwards.
>OFT-1 (fuck you that's what SpaceX called it originally, I refuse to accept the retcon) exploded everything including launchpad, and the FTS didn't even do its job right.
IFT 2 made it through hot stage sep but the booster exploded during the flip boostback burn, upper stage ran out of either LOx or methane can't remember, but the FTS went off at the end of the burn.
>IFT 3 got into orbit but the ship tumbled on reentry, iced RCS vents/feed lines. Superheavy made it through the flip but it had engines fail on the landing burn and splashed down at like mach 0.5.
IFT 4 Starship made it all the way to reentry, flap had an xboxhueg hole melt in it but still made a controlled descent, All kneel to Flap-Sama. this was the first jettison of the hot staging ring and the booster made it all the way to soft splashdown because of it.
>IFT 5 the ship survived reentry much better, much less burn-through on flaps, and it splashed exactly on target (flight 4 was off by several km). I can't fucking believe it even now, but by only the 5th flight they already caught the booster successfully; seriously insane pace of progress - minus FAA delays - up to now.
IFT 6 featured the absolutely gorgeous daylight reentry and splashdown of Starship; even less burn-through thanks to the backup ablative layer. Booster catch was diverted because of a fault with the tower. Overall the smallest amount of progress between flights and that's even if hypothetically the tower catch was successful.
IFT 7 has essentially no progress other than proving that the booster can structurally handle a heavier starship, lost the ship on ascent like flight 2. Tower catch worked once, no reason to call a 2nd time 'progress.'

Gaia was a billion euro mission, they don't come around every day. And in the ESA system these missions have to compete with planetary, solar and all astronomy missions. Getting two astrometry missions is difficult. But Gaia has been very successful. Also the final Gaia data release isn't for another ~3 years, so we haven't seen the best results yet. Things like long period exoplanets will be published then.
There is an attempt to build a successor which would work in the infrared rather than the visible. GaiaNIR could fly very similar hardware, but with near infrared detectors. It would potentially detect billions of more stars (maybe 10B), particularly in places shrouded by dust like the Galactic Center. Infrared light penetrates dust much more easily than visible light.
But strangely if they fly such a mission it makes more sense to wait about 20 years before flying the next mission. One of the key things Gaia measure is proper motions, the motion of stars across the sky. To measure accurate distances and find exoplanets one has to separate out proper motion from other effects. If a new mission was launched with a 20 year gap the baseline for measuring proper motion will much longer, and the measurements will be more precise in the end.
GaiaNIR was submitted to ESA's most recent call for large missions. It wasn't one of the three selected, but it was singled out as a backup in case another mission (LIFE) isn't ready technologically. LIFE is a very ambitious formation flying infrared interferometer (like Dawrin and TPF-I) to image Earth-like exoplanets. Hopefully LIFE succeeds but it is risky, and this may give GaiaNIR time to develop the detectors.

LUVOIR was only ever a concept, one that was found to be too big by the 2020 Astronomy Decadal Survey. The actual mission that will go ahead is now called Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), it is between HabEx and LUVOIR-B in scope. The Decadal called for a minimum mirror diameter of 6 meters, it may be physically larger if it uses a segmented mirror. It is a fairly concrete plan, but it will not launch until the 2040s (very much depending on the budget profile). Three architectures are being studied for SS, SLS and New Glenn, NASA will likely require launcher redundancy.
There are no other planned missions that would require SS. The only other planned major observatories at NASA are Roman and the Probe (AXIS or PRIMA), and from ESA there is ATHENA and LISA. None of these require a big launcher. These missions are once per decade (at best), most of them don't even max out existing launchers.

This Starship, conceived in the spirit of enterprise and exploration, is a marvel of the age, intended not to traverse mere seas but to chart courses among the stars, where no nation has yet tread.
>It is said this craft, towering as a monument to human endeavor, is designed to carry forth hundreds of souls and provisions beyond the bounds of this terrestrial sphere. With its engines of fire and thunder, known as Raptors, it shall ascend with might, defying gravity’s firm grasp and lighting the heavens as a beacon of human perseverance.
>Its purpose, dear reader, is no trifling one: to establish new settlements upon faraway worlds, as pilgrims once sought new shores for liberty and self-determination. Most audaciously, it sets its sights upon the planet Mars, a realm of red deserts and uncharted promise.
>This enterprise, though fraught with peril, is driven by a philosophy most familiar to our hearts—that the pursuit of progress and the expansion of the human condition are noble aims, worthy of both toil and sacrifice.
>Let it be known that the Starship, in its design and ambition, serves as a declaration of mankind’s resolve to leave no frontier unexplored, no possibility unpursued. May future generations look upon this age as one where courage and innovation triumphed over limitation, and may they recount these deeds with pride, as we recount the struggles and victories of our Revolution.

The main problem is that even if would work, you need to know where the target is to insane levels of precision, better than the diameter of the planet. Zero exoplanets have their orbits measured with such precision today. So you need to find all the Earth-like planets with conventional telescopes, and measure their orbits for years. So no, it does not let you leapfrog anything.
It is an interesting concept and astronomers have taken it seriously now, but it is a long way from being ready. With today's propulsion not only would it take decades but the spacecraft would pass the magnified planet-image in under a minute, and that would be it.

There's no way that anything other than Starship gets developed in time for a 202X launch window. Launching crew in 2029 is the earliest possible date we could have crew outbound to Mars, but it's going to require a pace that's fast even by SpaceX's standards and needs almost everything to go right

They say their backlog for Ceres-1 is full until the end of 2026 (so presumably 15-20 launches)
They claim Pallas 1 can be reused 30 times
They say that Ceres 2 has a cost/kg to orbit of half of Ceres-1's (which, if you do the math would come to ~$5500/kg or a launch cost of $8.5-9M for 1.6t to LEO)

The current tower is gen 1 anyways, they’re probably looking for an excuse to demo it and what better way to do that than to really push Super Heavy to its limits; which is seemingly what they are doing

correct me if I’m wrong but every other tower they’re building right now, including the second tower at star, are way different than the currently-active tower.
I admit that I am simply guessing here, but to me it looks like it’s the same philosophy as V1 starship and raptor v2. They know it’s outdated but they can still get data off of it by pushing it to its limits

Fit Super Heavy with an aerodynamic cap and no payload. Can it make orbit?
If so, you can stack a starship on it in orbit and fuel both of them.
From there, it's a simple matter to modify Superheavy for stacking, and continue the process to have as many stages as needed.
Burn one super heavy to inject in a lunar flyby, burn the second one deep in the moon's gravity well for peak Oberth, and Starship is left with full tanks on arrival to Mars.
Bottom line, a few simple modifications gives you significant latitude to depart early and get there before Trump leaves office.

We could easily afford as a species to live without these two things, after all it's just hedonistic entertainment that doesn't help with our current problems.

Genuinely astounding that they're not screaming about this. I remember that they backed off on supporting the twitter advertising boycott also.
I think Musk's legal team genuinely frightens the ADL. He's one of the few people who could and would absolutely drown them with legal expenses and destroy the organization entirely, and I suspect he told them as much behind closed doors.
