The worst thing that could happen is an accurate, timely impact forecast warning, and a well-executed evacuation effort that could save millions. The resulting shitskin exodus would decimate places far and wide, with wealthy countries absorbing a disproportionate share of the fallout.
That would be a real fucking tragedy for the planet.

Astrolab will use Griffin to send its half-ton FLIP rover to the Moon as a testbed for technologies needed for their larger FLEX rover, which is set for a later Starship mission.

People are seething about USAID being deleted by DOGE because they think it's aid and not an unaccountable arm of the CIA. This will continue for two years because to get the "rape anon in a dungeon for 200 years" bill passed you need to name it "puppies and rainbows and kittens for everyone forever" so everything sounds like a good thing if all you do is read headlines and start seething. There were also some questionably legal democrat funding streams in there as well, so they're panicking and using every channel they have to whip up their base into a neurotic frenzy. Hence our (formerly male) space game enthusiast replacing the raptor with a powerpoint engine that looks the same and does the same stuff but is Chinese.

scientists will meet in april or may, and the risk is still above 1% then they'll recommend to the UN that action will need to be taken to deflect the asteroid. evacuations of large parts of the earth are on the table.
if a mission needs to be launched, it will probably have to happen before 2028. can we build a weaponized version of DART in just a couple of years?

if it impacts the earth, the impact could be on the scale of meteor crater in arizona, ~1.2km wide, 170m deep.

They just call it "advice".

Do all Troons have this issue? He checks most of the boxes, but then utterly disqualifies himself. I wonder who made him do this? Has his reasoning been infiltrated by PEER PRESSURE?

>SpaceX approached DIU about how that architecture could be used beyond Starship, an effort that he said started while he was still at the company. “We, when I was at SpaceX, proposed ‘hey, that might be a real cool platform for you to host refueling capabilities that would be of use to the broader community,’” he recalled. “Let’s explore really novel ways to potentially exploit that and maybe help create some standards that would be leverageable by all of you going forward.”

Definetly what berger is alleging, but I have insider info on this and can say confidently that his lobbying efforts are firmly for commercial space companies. He is trying to bring space industry jobs into his home state (and is paying a lot of money to some of these companies to make it happen).
Ignore the EDS in this article, it has good info
https://www.politico.com/newsletter
>Bridenstine and his former chief of staff Gabe Sherman registered to lobby beginning today on behalf of nine different clients — all of which are involved in aerospace, have ties to Bridenstine’s home state, or both — through Artemis Group, a strategic consulting firm the pair launched last February.
>Their clients include the University of Oklahoma, the state’s flagship college; the Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority, a state agency to boost Oklahoma’s aerospace industry; the Native American tribe Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; and aerospace companies Special Aerospace Services, Redwire, Impulse Space, Frontier Electronic Systems Corporation and Agile Space Industries.
Basically OK (under the Space Industry Development Authority) hired him and some of his staff to use his clout to bring more jobs to his home state, which he is accomplishing quite well, they are throwing a lot of money at this (in the 8-9 figure range).

it used to be banned when we were a more serious country. from trist v. child, 1874:
>If any of the great corporations of the country were to hire adventurers who make market of themselves in this way, to procure the passage of a general law with a view to the promotion of their private interests, the moral sense of every right-minded man would instinctively denounce the employer and employed as steeped in corruption and the employment as infamous.

Very questionable. The US government is still regulating away innovation and using regulatory capture to suppress competition they don't control, like it's still the end of history and America is the only real country. This has led to China passing the US on several emerging technologies now. If Elon didn't exist and we didn't have SpaceX or the regulations being cleaned up, then it wouldn't even be a question. The US would be unable to compete with China. It very much is not a guarantee right now.

because rinky dink quadcopters are not doing shit against an actual supersonic vehicle.
the main problem with a war with china, is that china may do a lot of final assembly in their country, but the moment their supply chain full of western components stops, that all grinds to a halt.
(that's not to say america wouldn't feel it either, but we can at least move final assembly of all these things back to the states, china most definetly cannot produce it's own zeiss mirrors for instance.

nta but they're regular non-nuclear carriers which means a lot less internal space for aircraft/spare parts/rockets/bombs and far less operational endurance. and china themselves aren't even intending to use them to contest US carriers because they know it's a bad idea, they're meant more for ASW than anything else with the amount of dipping sonars they have.
he's right that a lot of chinese ships are just patrol ships with maybe a few anti-ship missiles, there's a few big ticket items like the carriers but china's nowhere near US tonnage.
all of this is of course ignoring the fact that all of these new ships are being staffed by people that have never had a large navy before and have no experience with large scale naval actions, on top of having a far more rigid and authoritarian command structure which means decisions happen much more slowly and far less independence in the heat of the moment, which is exactly one of the major things that fucked the russians over in their little 3 day to 3 year escapade in ukraine.
ultimately it's not gonna happen because business is still too good for china to consider ruining their economy over it and xi just got a very good recent example of a dictator being lied to by a bunch of yes-men that his army was strong and powerful and paying the price for it.

the not enough troops problem in their case can only be fixed by employing an army of fishing boats since their military transport ships do not have anywhere near the carrying capacity needed.
those civilian ships would get absolutely slaughtered if they tried that.

this isn't even an "are they good or not" argument anon, chinks are just blatantly showing you through their design decisions that they don't want to use carriers to fight carriers and want to beat US carrier groups through other means while these focus on dealing with subs.

they might find other ways of dealing with them (maybe the hypersonic meme missiles will end up being effective)
but china just doesn't have the experience and infrastructure to deal with american carrier projection, and most certainly not anywhere outside the 1st island chain.

i never said such a thing though, their carriers have some strike groups, they're just much smaller and less numerous, there's a much larger contingent of helicopters with dipping sonars.
china is banking on the inside of the 1st island chain being too hotly contested for US carriers to get in and do their work, they're not expecting to beat them at their own game and it's clear for their strategic posture.
feels to me that you want le ebin china carriers to beat le stupid western carriers and start the glorious chinese century but it's not that simple in carrier operatery.

oops, looks like you still can't master the english language, looks like what i actually said is just as i claimed, the chinese carrier fleet is specialized for ASW and surveillance, specialized, as an english term, does not mean the object of specialization can only be used for it's main purpose.

the main purpose is to enable astronauts to reach lunar orbit (where SLS gets cucked to the point of entry because it doesn't have the TLI mass) and then return the astronauts safely with orion.
the heatshield didn't work properly, there was a whole lot of damage control from nasa about it.
the only reason why this is embarrassing is because it's a waterfall development method using old "proven" hardware and they had 20 years to figure it out, they still fucked up.
so no, it was pretty much a failure.
you don't care about any of this though, you're just seething about musk because he's gotten too deeply involved with politics for your liking and because you're directionbrained everything even mildly associated with him must now be "failing".
you're only going to look more retarded the harder you push the starship is a failure meme.

As if the Chinese are going to be ready this decade anyways. Also Moonbase instead of Gateway please, Jared. Just do it.

Yes that was a disadvantage I hadn't thought of before, but I feel there could still be ways to yank their chain instead of continually awarding them the bonuses they didn't actually earn. Anyways there's pros and cons to both choices but the real subtext seemed to be that Block 1B+ is basically already off the table so that'd be pretty good news already. Though Congress probably still has the last word in this matter either way, which shouldn't be a problem but they love their Shuttle contractors.

>During the mission, IM will also deploy a second vehicle, its μNova (Micro-Nova) Hopper. Micro-Nova will separate from the Nova-C lander after landing and function as a standalone hopper lander, exploring multiple difficult-to-reach areas such as deep craters on the lunar surface,[15][20] by firing hydrazine rockets in controlled bursts to propel itself short distances. It will hop across craters in search of lunar ice, which could contain water critical to future crewed missions to the Moon.[21] Water ice could be processed into rocket propellant or used to support a permanent lunar habitat in the future. Micro-Nova is also planned to take the first pictures from inside craters at the lunar south pole, and will be able to carry a 1-kilogram payload for more than 25 kilometers. The hopper will explore permanently shaded regions and could "fly into a lava tube and report images back", according to IM co-founder and CTO Tim Crain.[22][23]
IM 2 will be epic, it will likely launch this month.

Its rotation rate suggests that it's pretty solid. You could try fragmenting it, but the most likely outcome would be that you'd just break it apart into a big debris stream that'd drop small impacts all long the hazard line

Both New Glenn and Vulcan VC6 can get Orion to LEO. Once there Orion docks to a Centaur V that's equipped with a Soft Capture Device like the one STS-125 bolted onto Hubble. Orion-Centaur can actually get to the Moon with a lot more margins than an SLS launch can, so fucking around with NRHO becomes a lot less important

Brainlet here. To build a space elevator we need basically carbon nanotubes right? They are very hard to make because of impurities in the manufacturing process since it's done at a molecular level or smthing. If we tried to manufacture nanotubes in LEO like Varda is doing with pharma stuff would it be a good environment to produce long enough tubes for space elevator application?

Centaur V weighs in at about 60 tons fully fueled, which is a bit more than New Glenn's max of 45 tons. Fortunately, a CV with no payload has something absurd like 11.5 km/s of delta-v to play with, so it wouldn't need to burn that much to finish orbital insertion. As long as it only used ~10% of its propellant Centaur would still be able to take Orion all the way through insertion into Lunar orbit without touching the 1.8 km/s that Orion expected to use itself during an SLS-based mission. You'd need to figure out what the requirements are for breaking into LLO vs NRHO, but a two-launch Orion-Centaur mission seems well within the range of possibility.
You could probably pull off a similar trick with Vulcan, but the margins are a lot narrower. You could get a less-demanding TLI burn out of Centaur but you'd probably need to rely on Orion for everything past that. I don't know if Orion has enough for lunar insertion and Earth return on its own but my guess would be no, so something like that is probably limited to an NRHO mission

Fuck man just end the contract at this point. It’s okay to admit commercial crew was a quasi-failure, but also a blessing in disguise that helped seed the new age of contractors and give spacex the boost it needed

you're shitposting, but there are many EDS retards out there who unironically believe that starlink 'somehow' rigged the elections. it created a whole conspiracy theory.

>ULA says that they are officially bringing the Kuiper-1 (also known as KA-01) mission forward in their manifest. This will be the first operational launch for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation, and it is expected to launch in the next 2 months aboard an Atlas V 551.

And SpaceX fans should note that Vulcan and Atlas both use the same launch complex at SLC-41, which means that if an Atlas is gearing up it means that Vulcan is stuck on the bench and the soonest it could fly is probably sometime in May. SpaceX fans should also note that ULA hasn't announced that they've solved the booster issue from Cert-2, as well as the fact that the Space Force hasn't given Vulcan its official certification for carrying national security payloads.

that was just an observation at the end. after all, the FAA said that they weren't gonna need an investigation for it.

Update on India's SpaDeX mission:
"Power generation in the two spacecraft is not matching the requirements, and the composite control of both is also taking time due to which the undocking cannot be done."
