I want to submit a stool sample to the PPO so they microbially profile me for science.
>In space, no one can hear you poop. So astronaut Scott Kelly, identical twin brother of retired fellow astronaut Mark Kelly, dutifully collected his own fecal specimens during his year aboard the International Space Station, for a long-term study on the effects living in space can have on all the tiny little things going on inside our bodies.
>The twin-to-twin comparison offered NASA an invaluable opportunity to examine not only the effects of extended space dwelling on gut bacteria, but also on human DNA signatures. And when it comes to both germs and DNA expression, the study found that hanging around in orbit too long can have dramatic effects on both — even though the jury’s still out on whether that’s a good or bad thing.
Credit: ROBERT MARKOWITZ/AFP/Getty Images
Scott “experienced a shift in the ratio of two major categories of bacteria in his gut microbiome,” observed Northwestern University’s Fred W. Turek, one of the researchers who collaborated with NASA for the study. “The diversity of bacteria in his microbiome, however, did not change during spaceflight, which the Northwestern University-led research team found encouraging.”
Specifically, the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes — the two bacteria types that make up 90 percent of the human intestine’s microbiome, “experienced a pronounced shift” during Scott’s time aboard ISS, with the number of Firmicutes increasing, and that of the Bacteroidetes decreasing. “This shift was among the greater compositional change that the researchers noted in Scott Kelly's microbiome, which returned to normal after he came back to Earth,” the report, summarized at science website EurekAlert!, noted.
>NASA reportedly wants to retrieve and take a peek inside the 96 bags of poop and other organic waste that astronauts left behind on their six manned missions to the moon.

MSB: is it possible/easy to characterize the microbiome of waste before sterilization
o similar to microbiome research on ISS
o collect saliva, fecal samples etc.

There is an urgent need to expand the sampling potential of astronauts currently in space. For example, if weekly or daily collection of fecal, skin, blood and swab samples were conducted, we could start building a specimen bank and begin the analysis of already collected samples, using high throughput sample collections and processing. (This is low hanging fruit; pick a swab (not cotton) and start collecting now.) Another opportunity is to collect dust samples and determine whether dust ecology reflects the surface ecology inside the ISS. Dust will also contain food, however, so there might be a need to focus on areas where astronauts don't eat (i.e. not Node 1). There is also need to broaden this activity to get the Russians involved, as they have a different air handling system, different housekeeping, different purification, and different construction materials. ... Take all of the 0.22 μm filters out of the PWD 11 and put it in the freezer every time. ... deep UV or a handheld UV to identify colonized surfaces. ... Class 1E flight hardware process for COTS (commercial off the shelf) monitors. ... utility of Volatile Organic Compounds. Also start daily or weekly sampling of current astronaut corps.

Compression strength is honestly less important than knowing whether or not it could take the cycle loads of putting in anchor blocks and then applying tensile loads to those blocks to make sure it doesn't get lifted away.

I think that's mostly the point anon. Why they used twins, for example.
The space environment, and that includes rehydrated tube stuff and shit artificial atmosphere *in addition* to lower gravity, creates a change in the character of the gut microbiome.
We already know fermentation happens more efficiently in lower gravity, and fermentation is a huge part of the cellular metabolism of that bacteria that we use in digestion.

What would the implications for mining be on Mars, since it's core and mantle aren't nearly as hot as earth's? I'm assuming that would mean mines could be much deeper, what would that mean for access to different types of ore or minerals.
Or how would the low gravity effect the density of those minerals?

Even if they can only deliver a single cubesat at a time, full reuse instantly makes them the cheapest (and most important) launch provider in the world that isn't spacex. And no heatshield means that they have one less failure point than Starship.
IIRC they're also trying to pitch an over-land launch and landing corridor out of Eastern Washington which would further reduce operating costs by replacing a drone ship with a truck.
Everything I've seen and heard about them says they're legit. I'd love to work for them some day.

Dead serious. Laugh if you want but I'm a self-aware shitlib and this shitty imageboard has been like my sole social outlet since 2008.
Any european country that matters is an ITAR nation so as long as I don't try to get a job working on French nuclear missiles I should be fine. I was mostly hoping you guys might know about some european aerospace startups that aren't retarded grifts. I know Orbex is vaporware but Skyrora seems alright. There's some Finnish smallsat earth sensing startups that seem legit. Other than that I have no idea.

tanks that can handle 300 bar are extremely heavy
Anonymous at Mon, 3 Feb 2025 06:14:03 UTC No. 16573945
>>16573931
Some quick math says that with an internal pressure of 300 bar and an ID of 3.7m (the current diameter of Falcon 9), the tank would need to be nearly 80cm thick to not explode from the hoop stress. And that's with zero safety margin.

It's February 2025 and all your cult leader Elon has given you is an exploding crew quarters for Starship and a new FAA investigation. But alas you say, if not for the government we could dangerously explode rockets over random spots of the globe at a break neck pace! Yes yes, we all know. If not for the evil FAA Papa Musk would be king of Mars by now.
No it's not the poor design of Starship that makes it an over budget behind schedule Spruce Goose failure. NO, no NO! It's the government regulators stopping our destiny! Sure Blue Origin made it to orbit, something Starship has failed to do. But they didn't catch their booster rocket! As we all know getting to orbit is optional, the real goal of launching rockets is to catch the booster on it's way down. Then you can more cheaply relaunch your rocket to nowhere. Even if Starship never lifted a single gram to orbit it wouldn't matter. They can catch booster rockets, space is basically solved now. Thanks to Elon.
Haters will point to the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation and cite the idea of diminishing returns. Many say we are already at that point, where larger rockets don't return meaningful results over smaller versions. But I say that these math Nazis are wrong and the larger the rocket and the more cock like it's appearance the quicker we can colonize Mars and beyond. These people who use math and "logic" to hate on Elon Musk have never made a billion dollars, they don't own Twitter, and their dad wasn't a wealthy emerald trafficker who personally knew The Beatles. So they are literal retards who aren't allowed to speak because they are poor and losers and math doesn't matter when seals need fish! Seals are hungry so they clap and all the math and logic in the world won't make them stop.

its not inconsequential to the people that get fucked by this subsidy getting removed and because many of them will probably subscribe with or without the subsidy, this is actually inconsequential to SpaceX
What kind of contract was that? something like 100mil over 4 years? and maybe SpaceX now loses half of that (if we are being conservative, probably less in fact)
that is 50mil over 4 years which is 12.5mil per year
SpaceX revenues were like 13bil for 2024

multiple other previous flights could be considered failures under the same criteria.
spacex simply doesn't give a fuck and your standards for failure mean absolutely nothing to them, their approach to engineering is so alien to how normalfags think that after 10 years of their absolute dominance you STILL don't get why they do things the way they do.

they made progress with this flight as well, they used a different flight envelope for booster catch this time and it worked well, they also confirmed that this monumental feat of engineering was not a fluke, and being able to do it twice in such a short timespan proves they'll be able to perfect it and do it over and over again.

The USA is privileged to have the 2 best space agencies in the world:
NASA, that spreads jobs thin but somehow still leads the world in aerospace exploration
and SpaceX which is a purely private initiative and uses all benefits of free enterprise under the USA’s stellar market system
Doing some stupid globohomo ‘North America Space Coalition’ or whatever would be in no way beneficial for the US and would just give us anchors to slow down progress

supposedly trump will pivot away from europe and cut the army to focus on building the navy and air force. the architect is this guy named austin dahmer who wrote a book and report about the need to focus on the pacific. why is it relevant to spaceflight? pic related. he identifies that we need offensive space weapons for the war but that we have no known weapons. obviously this is incorrect because we do have at least one system, the countercommunication system (CCS).
https://www.spaceforce.mil/News/Art
still though he recommends we fund more weapons and increase their budget. (un)fortunately he also recommends cutting alot of officers from the space force, despite my understanding that they dont have enough...they cant even field a general for combatant commands like the other branches of the military can.
alternatively he suggests that we end funding for elements of the space-based iron dome, which doesnt seem like it'll happen given the recent executive order, so we're more likely to go with the former suggestion of firing a bunch of officers.

the russian launch is a close proximity / inspector satellite used to spy on american/western satellites. some think it is also associated with an orbital weapons program:
>Russia has launched satellite 14F150 Nivelir into orbit under a mission dubbed Kosmos-2558,...[it] will serve as an ‘inspector’ satellite to covertly spy on nearby spacecraft...
https://www.twz.com/game-of-chicken
>Additional evidence suggests Russia may have started a new co-orbital ASAT program called Burevestnik, potentially supported by a surveillance and tracking program called Nivelir. The technologies developed by these programs could also be used for non-aggressive applications...However, Russia has deployed two “sub-satellites” at high velocity, which suggests at least some of their LEO RPO activities are of a weapons nature.

Unless you can find a better reason than "it's gay" then that's how it'll be. Imagine if all your goods need to go through an airlock. Doesn't make sense.
Cities don't have to be shit though, especially not one a couple hundred miles away from the elements you don't want there.
I've always figured Singapore might be the closest thing culturally to a Mars city. Everyone just works really hard and goes to restaurants. No homeless people or graffiti. There's really nothing in the west that comes close right now so I understand your position.

The city doesn't feed itself. You won't find arcologies growing all the meat and vegetables that supply those restaurants in Singapore: it's all imported from farms. Mars will not be like that.

dirt, and it's synonym, soil, usually covers material that has been properly broken down, with lots of loose minerals and organic matter.
a rocky mountainside is not "dirt"

i imagine once the atmosphere is relatively stable and high pressure, we should release extremophile dendritic fungi and extremist pioneer species of plant, like liverwort, to start churning the regolith into soil and releasing all the plant nutrients locked up inside, which can then be used to create more organic compounds, starting the process of ecological succession that can eventually allow for climactic environments like forests.

If they were hardware rich they could test this. Just another case where the Boeing Starliner is better. Launch, fail, learn, launch again. Hardware rich development is the future and SpaceX is going to be left behind by the adults in the room.

The tower is another point of failure worked into a system that already has a significant number of failure points. It was a workaround for a work around.
The IAU is also a committee made up of people that are the equivalent of medieval astronomers that still use rocks to map planetary alignments.

a bit of extra profit perhaps if you assume the europeans would use an european designed rocket instead i.e. refusing to launch certain payloads with spacex built and operated rockets
licensing from SpaceX would kind of defeat some of the purpose of having an independent system in the first place though so I don't really see the europeans going for it and would probably be too much effort to be worth it for spacex as well
Starship is coming soon which will be a paradigm shift

>With Project DEMESURE, CNES aims to demonstrate the recovery and reuse of a launch vehicle upper stage. The agency explained that the ultimate goal is to develop a reusable upper stage for a two-stage rocket that can deliver 20 tonnes to low Earth orbit, a similar payload capacity to Ariane 6. The initial demonstration will, however, be conducted at a “reduced scale” with an incremental approach to the system’s development.
The unspoken bit being that 20 tons to LEO with a reusable upper stage means a SHLV sized rocket, not an Ariane 6.

I always wondered if instead of the shuttle they had instead ordered like 10 more improved Saturn Vs, gone ahead with Apollos 18-20, and then used a few S5s to build a space station (I always like to imagine it was called "space station Independence" and the first launch was July 4th 1976) and then maybe a Venus flyby in the late 70s and maybe a couple "return to the moon" missions and held off on trying to develop a successor until the 80s what we would have ended up with, maybe a shuttle type vehicle but one much different from the STS shuttle

It's entirely possible to capture ALL data traffic if your launch and satellites are cheap enough and you can keep a tarded high launch cadence. No reason why you couldn't have millions of giga nigga starlink v10s serving every single connection on the planet including cell phones and launching dozens of megaships a day to keep the constellation up and going. Although with that kind of cash flow they will probably find some alternative means to keep the satellites up, some kind of magnetic atmosphere scoop or automated refuelling robot fleet.

Starting with the harder part wouldn't be that stupid, that's why SpaceX started with the bellyflop tests, too. Obviously they should do both and yesterday, though, but it's something if it actually happens.

Imagine 10,000 V3 Sats instead of V2. So 10,000 X 1 Tbps = 10,000 Tbps
For context, ~2000 Tbps is the daily global bandwidth usage.
Current system has ~50 Gbps(avg of v2 mini and 1.5) x 5000 sats = 250 Tbps. Current system supports ~5M customers atleast. And with 40X more capacity, it can support 200 million customers. But subscriber rate doesn't scale linearly, it scales much better. So instead of 200M, Starlink could support 500M or even 1B customers on V3 at 150Mbps speeds. But more likely, we'll get 1Gbps speed and ~30 million global customer base. And if they upgrade to V4 or V5 or higher, that number can increase further.

reuse weight penalty is 1 to 1 with payload on stage 2
plus its the smallest part of the vehicle
There's no reason to throw away boosters and try to reuse upper stages
In the end they aren't serious about it and it's just pretending for investors

You also have to consider that the vast majority of that bandwidth capacity sits unused/barely used as they cruise over oceans, deserts, poles and rural retard areas.
