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."
https://www.newindianexpress.com/st
This comes days after their recent navigation satellite, NVS-02, was unable to reach its intended orbit due to a valve failure.

to be fair, while the F35 program was a bit of a shitshow when it was spooling up production, there's over 1000 of the things now and the price per-piece is lower than a lot of 4th gen jets from other countries because of the sheer economy of scale.
ultimately, even though cockheed tried to siphon as much money as possible out of the project, they did deliver a pretty good jet, this thing makes shills around the world seethe.

I don't think the point of the graph is to shit on the jet, but to show the scale of the discrepancy. NASA's ENTIRE budget in the last 60+ years is less than a single military procurement project. I'm sure the planes are fine and will kick some chink teeth in when the time comes.

>unclear about how the decision was made to waive the failure tolerance level requirement for the Crew Module RCS thrusters apparently without the appropriate flight or qualification data to justify this decision
>absent role clarity, risk management choices could unintentionally devolve to contractors, whose interests may not fully align with NASA's
In other words, Boeing wasn't sharing safety-relevant data with NASA and was assuming the responsibility for safety decisions, keeping NASA out of the loop.

one aircraft amongst many others, amongst ground and sea going vehicles across several other branches of the military. then look what NASA has done with less keeping in mind that Mercury, Gemini and Apollo are included, along with all the probes and rovers etc.
Apollo would have been an even better deal if they hadn't shut it down, because a LOT of the money was for initial design and testing. Once the system was working and the vehicles were on the production lines, the prices per launch just got better.

First and foremost, because magnets are a pain in the ass. Stainless steel is non-ferromagnetic unless it's fucked up, so you'd need to add ferromagnetic parts to the rocket to use a big magnet, and to hold down and secure something as big and heavy as superheavy, you'd need a lot of it, and that'd be a lot heavier than a couple of hanging pins.

either it hits nothing but people can see that a massive asteroid just impacted the earth, or it hits a civilian thirdie area and millions of thirdies get cleansed.
in either case normalfags will finally take notice and understand that space actually exists and it hurls rocks at you, instantly quadrupling investment in spaceflight globally.

Bullshit, we both know that any area that would be affected would 100% be evacuated prior to impact and would be shipped to the west.
Better to practice now with something relatively safe than a potential ELE in the future, fuck what normalfags think, nothing would be done in science if the only measure for funding is how impressed a normie would be.

I'm gonna use this thread to share my video of a lunar occultation of mars that happened last night. I drove 90km in order to capture it.
The video is a little dim but I couldn't be bothered to edit it. If you fast forward you can also see that Mars drifts to the right and then back to the left again and I'm 100% sure that's due to the mounts counterweights being incorrectly balanced (shame on me). It's too heavy on the western side of the mount and the backlash in the gear train makes the whole thing slip a little bit. Other than that I think it went pretty well.
In the attached image you can see my telescope and the bright dot in the background is Venus. Saturn is the one near the horizon right under the bottom of the telescope.

all these seemingly meaningless changes are driven by a cultlike fanaticism with erasing natural roles created by sexual dimorphism, because said cultists are freaks and don't feel at home in it because of their mental illness.
getting rid of this mindvirus in and of itself has knock-on effects for the effectiveness of NASA (in a good way), but that doesn't mean it's the only way in which trump is going to try and improve spaceflight.

That's downrange from the Xichang launch center. It's what's left of the village that the rocket landed on
>The nature and extent of the damage remain a subject of dispute. The Chinese government, through its official Xinhua news agency, reported that six people were killed and 57 injured. Western media speculated that between a few dozen and 500 people might have been killed in the crash; "dozens, if not hundreds" of people were seen to gather outside the centre's main gate near the crash site the night before launch. When reporters were being taken away from the site, they found that most buildings had sustained serious damage or had been flattened completely. Some eyewitnesses were noted as having seen dozens of ambulances and many flatbed trucks, loaded with what could have been human remains, being taken to the local hospital. Bruce Campbell of Astrotech and other American eyewitnesses in Xichang reported that the satellite post-crash was surprisingly intact, along with the opinion that the official death toll only reflects those in the military who were caught by the disaster and not the civilian population. In the years to follow, the village that used to border the launch center (Mayelin Village) has vanished, with little trace it ever existed

it's not a big enough deal to be worth caring about. if you want an anti-berger line, it's that he spent all those years crusading against SLS and corrupt republican richard shelby, the man behind SLS. but then when ballast and co. are run out of town it's not even three weeks until boeing's basically announcing that SLS is dead. while this happens, berger's concerned with exposing an alleged morale crisis in nasa because employees are sad about the president being a republican.
and i still like berger. he's done a lot of good muckraking over the years and i expect he'll continue to. but he's being a little asshurt right now so he deserves a little shit over it.

i was just thinking of anything that could help. it could be something else like a video game, netflix show, album release, whatever. the money for a lander doesnt have to solely come from physical payloads funded by nasa or whatever. just explore some crazy ass ideas and maybe you'll end up with the next launch tower that catches rockets with arms: out there, but profitable.

i think it needs a better value proposition, like re-create it as a lunar theme park builder set in the area where the lander is at. you can then share your theme park builds for others to play in. cuz who is going to pay to drive a rover on the moon if the rover moves at 1cm a minute? and a physical rover would break down quick.

don't dog it too much. science fiction in the 1940s was a completely ramshackle operation and serials like foundation, authors like asimov and editors like john w. campbell are the only reason it ever rose up to have some literary pretensions and occasionally become better than crap.

SpaceX is literally the best bang for the buck, best prices (or nearly the best if BO isn’t undercutting) and CERTAINLY the best products. So whatever, give Musk and SX trillions. They deserve it.

There is more to reality than simple materialism can explain. von Braun's Elon prophecy convinced me of this; sufficiently Great Men have an impact on the course of reality so strong that they can effect events before their arrival. Elon Musk is far from the only example of this, prophesy of Great Men has happened numerous times throughout history, in many different religions, cultures, etc. It's not a religious phenomena, it's a property of our reality that causality can be violated by sufficiently important people. Another manifestation of this, besides simple prophesy, is "false arrivals" of men who eerily embody numerous attributes of a Great Man to follow them.

Everybody recognizes these as the acts of Julius Caesar. But actually, I am talking about Sulla, 40 years before Julius Caesar did it. Julius Caesar recognized his own parallels with Sulla while his own story was unfolding and deliberately tried to distance himself from Sulla, but everybody else saw the obvious parallels anyway. This isn't just a series of uncanny coincidences, Sulla was a living prophesy of Julius Caesar.
It stands to reason that other "spooky" effects may be real as well, people who share intense and relatively niche interests may have a form of limited telepathy. I haven't seen absolutely convincing evidence of this, but it's a possibility.

NASA OIG is absolutely top tier. They've been pointing out all the ways SLS is a grift for years. Firing everyone who disagrees with you is another way to get Starliner-tier results. Especially when the OIG's job quite literally is to point out all the ways their agency is fucking up.

The schedule was pulled forward and the LM9 inaugural flight is now planned to occur in 2030.
