China had over 400 EV companies at one point. The government likes to pump in money to foster a lot of competition in some sectors.
Also, they have plans to launch several megaconstellations that are at least 50,000 in size in total, so there's room for a lot of companies. For example: Guowang: 13,000. Qianfan: 13,000. Honghu: 10,000. Geespace: 6,000.

It wasn't really meant an "argument". I just meant that China's government apparently has the strategy that they pump a lot of money into a sector, allow a ton of companies be established, then let them compete in a ruthless hunger game until 5-10 victors emerge. This should, in theory, mean that the winners are super-efficient and super-competitive.

Lockheed Martin Venturestar SSTO Spaceplane, powered by 7 XRS-2200 J-2 derived linear aerospike, generating over 3.1m lbf of thrust at liftoff, with a specific impulse of 344s SL and 444s vac, is capable of lifting 26t of payload to a 186km low earth orbit. Lockheed produced the X-33 demonstrator which incorporated many innovative technologies such as a composite liquid hydrogen tank and metallic thermal protection system, however, engineers were unable to figure out how to prevent the tank from exploding or leaking during tests. In 1999, NASA cancelled the X-33 program.

If S34 explodes it's actually genuinely over. They also need to start ramping up the pace if they want to get serious and Elon just needs to dismantle the FAA or give SpaceX special permission to ignore their rules. 25 flights is unrealistic, 8 is more likely. But it's not enough - it should be 12 or more.

How does SpaceX plan to shield their astronauts from the massive amounts of radiation in space? I've heard people bring this up as a reason the trip is impossible, is there any truth to it?
This is all in the context of a trip to mars.

the very short version of it is that when you're in deep space for a 6+ month trip you're might get a radiation dosage above what nasa would consider the lifetime safety limit. this doesn't mean that you're going to drop dead from it, it means that you're up in the range where it may start to cause health problems. it would still be a minor risk compared to everything else the first mars astronauts are going to be facing. for serious shit like solar flares they'll likely have a specially shielded shelter within the ship that they can move into for a few hours if one hits.

the radiation storms you need to worry about are predictable and trackable events and you can simply hide from them when they happen
you can hide under a rock, inside your water supply, in a big chunk of plastic, or inside the earth's magnetosphere for a few examples of solutions that have been suggested

>Akiyama was not a trained astronaut, scientist nor engineer.[3] During his time aboard Mir, Akiyama gave live reports each day documenting life aboard the station, but his apparent discomfort led to him being described as the first "antihero in space". He described his struggles such as space sickness and craving for cigarettes: During training, he quit smoking cigarettes, having previously smoked four packs a day. Before liftoff, when asked what he looked forward to most upon his return to Earth, he said "I can't wait to have a smoke". His fellow cosmonauts later reported, in regards to his nausea, that they "hadn't ever seen a man vomit that much."

Making it stronger means making it heavier. A sharp corner will cause a stress concentration that requires a reinforcement to hold, which means it will be heavier. A rounded pressure vessel is a better solution in terms of how much volume you get for a given amount of mass

No space cooperation, NO technology transfer. They are called a RIVAL, like China and Russia before them. After all, meritocracy depends on competition, so lets see what you can innovate, while isolated, with 5X our population this should be an easy task you will accept without hesitation.

Sucks that the ISS has been there for 20 yrs but neither NASA, pockocmoc, or anyone else has done extra long-term space studies. The record for time spent in space is still meagerly low. And these studies get constant supplies. Imagine if butch and suni literally had no way of getting extra cargo or a guaranteed ride back as an analog.

How should I know? What I do know is that it is deeply implausible that the human brain has a dozen orders of magnitude better computational efficiency than cutting edge silicon.
The AGI problem is software, not hardware. Our computers are obviously adequate, but we need to figure out how to program them for the task.

If that looks like a thorough inspection to you, then you have the brain capacity of a french fry. Falcon goes through multiple weeks of nonstop inspection between flight. Taking an hour to pick up peoples drop cell phones is not a thorough inspection. This general is full of so many fucking retards. If they can produce a vehicle that needs some tech to walk around and confirm nothing has fallen apart, that is basically rapid reuse, because that's what aircraft do. If you want to nitpick about semantic of how the article said "no inspections" then blame the retarded HR college slut who wrote it, but you and I both know they don't mean the rocket is going to land and immediately take off with no consideration, because no boat, or plane, or train, or truck does that.

Starship will have a payload betwen 100 and 200 tons. I roughly calculated how much resupply the ISS gets per year, it's around 20 tons and at least a third of it is fuel, science payload and spacesuit stuff. Also you don't need to carry 3 years of supply in one Starship, you can send unmanned Starships to Mars. There is a lot of payload in a Starship that you can fill with redudancies and you don't need to care that the Starship will still work after 10 years of continuous operation.

Yeah I've been deliberating over that. I guess the main thing is that their ideas are just generally better (targeting 90% reliability gets you 50%, 3d printed tanks; just don't), and their execution to date has been on point. They've developed a 450kN FFSC engine in 18 months and it hasn't blown up and their production cadence seems good. However stage testing is a big bad boy and it eats at a lot of companies. RFA and Space Pioneer got done by them last year and both are also reasonably good companies.

I am an Elon hater, but SpaceX is doing cool shit. It's not that anything they are doing is crazy, it's just the natural course the industry should have followed 40 years ago. SpaceX is simply developing technology that should have been developed decades ago, but NASA and all of oldspace was too lazy and fat to do it. I think probably soon enough there will be more and more companies that offer some form of competition, but for the time being SpaceX is really the only space company worth celebrating until other companies can actually prove at least partial reusability. Also I doubt Elon really does much of anything. The engineers and techs do the work and he comes by to ok their decisions, that's what all CEOs do.

Yeah, I think a lot of us are hoping "that" Elon still exists, but I think he has largely moved on, only to return with less enthusiasm when it suits his other interests. I get the impression that Jeff too has had a major reality check with the rocket shit and having second thoughts, given the infinite other things that are actually happening (its not space).
Men who are drunk with power/fame/influence do not demote themselves into what is a comparatively menial role. Elon is a corporate lobby/politician pulling the strings of geopolitics from now on, for that is the greatest game on Earth. Mars is a lonely turd out there, a worthy goal but only one of many. Seems like AI is a more pressing issue than Mars, which will still be there, unchanged, while the powers that be have very timely things to attend to, right now

Yeah, you can't keep them liquid at nighttime surface temperatures, but if it's underground a bit and covered you can keep the liquid at ground temperature instead and prevent most evaporation.
Uncovered at surface temperatures the water will either freeze or evaporate until it turns into a gel or sludge that would not be passable.

Glass is a weight-inefficient structural material compared to aluminium. The final LM shape would be worse as a pressure vessel shape, if not for the fact that it allows the windows to be smaller and triangular while maintaining a similar degree of visibility.

The shortest possible answer: money
They don't get any from the public, they get it from the government, and all that stuff was written in government contracts, and it isn't anymore.

Well the idea with all the woke stuff was to prevent trump or anyone like him from ever being elected again and considering these measure couldn't even prevent trump from coming back stronger than ever leftists are regrouping and brainstorming new strategies.
Hopefully their tactics be less authoritarian this time around.

There's at least 4 reasons companies adopted it in the first place:
1. To become eligible for government funds directly tied to DEI etc.
Self-explanatory. When these funds/criteria go away, so does the motivation.
2. Fear of public criticism
This is a common excuse for plausibility's sake, but probably quite minor as an actual reason.
But to the extent it is an actual reason, Trump's election doesn't change anything. It's always been perfectly clear that the wokeist rabble-rousers were a minority -- if they're a loud/influential enough minority that you were scared of them when they're some fraction of the party that won by a couple percent, you'll still be nearly equally scared when they're some fraction of the party that lost by a couple percent.
3. Individual wokeists in relevant roles (a) making decisions that put their own ideology above the firm's interests, and (b) insulating those who do (a) from consequences.
This is a big one, and these individuals might be scared to stick their necks out at this point -- certainly it would be prudent, if they even begin to believe their own rhetoric about how Trump will put everyone in camps etc., although in reality he has no real ability to fire them (not talking about government workers here, of course). Of course, the perception of risk will do, and in addition to their own rhetoric, every business that walks back wokeism in any regard adds to the perception of a massive backlash, and increases their perceived risk.
4. Fear of being punished in their interactions with government or other businesses, either through action by individuals as in 3., or as official policy.
WRT government, this collapses directly when Trump starts issuing anti-woke EOs -- not only is it no longer official policy, but any individuals who might try to buck that are at real risk. WRT other businesses, it comes down to (their perception of) 3., q.v..

Something of a wake-up call happened in october last year.
Jews were about the get lynched by future technocratic elite at top 1% universities while the global south cheered for Hamas killing "whitey"
The only demographic that were defending them were real whiteys and jeets (and jews are not convinced jeets actually care about jews existing or not, they simply just hate muslims too).
If the trends continued, Estados Unidos de América would be 110th country and Israel would perish immediately afterwards.
The whole Israel plan failed. They need constant influx of Russian goys to bolster IDF. And IDF need US to do anything beyond Israel's own borders
They still hate us, but they were reminded they do in fact need golem caste to survive.
The whites did the big bad thing, so they were to be culled significantly.
The brown replacements proved to be too dumb to recognise the master race. Terrible slaves.
The yellow ones are smart enough to recognise the play being played. Too smart. They need to go.
The status of Indians is still undecided, but seemed promising servants so far.
I expect WWIII staged between whites and yellows.
But for that, they need to tone down the demoralisation.

Only autists like people here even know who that is. He will also be forgotten to time. If people set foot on Mars in the next 4 years it will be remembered as Trumps accomplishment. If it takes place after that it will be remembered as whoever is president then. The same way the Moon landing is remembered as the achievment of JFK and Nixon. No one gives a fuck about these people anon.
And Gwynne is the head of ops. She runs all of Falcon, Elon does not touch that. You know, the actual rockets that are actually flying and not blowing up. And once Starship is actually a real rocket, Elon won't be involved in it at all the same way he has quite literally 0% to do with Falcon ops.

The Starbase area will be declared a strategically critical asset to national security and the ACE will come fill the area around it for expansion and use good old fashioned engineering to use the Rio Grande and existing Brownsville Harbor as part of alternative flood control strategies.

They aren't worried about the Rio Grande. The marshlands absorb the wind driven tide waters from the ocean, and they do it without maintenance and upkeep costs. The expense and upkeep costs needed to justify a sea wall in its place, let alone a more extravagant move like rerouting the Rio Grande, would require flight rates that nobody within miles would be happy with. They'll sooner build a causeway out to sea and put it all on elevated piles on the shallow continental shelf.

I'm not one of those antinatalist, misanthropic retards, and I do get where Elon is coming from with this whole populate-the-Earth argument. After all, he's thinking long term. However, I can't still get fully behind the idea of fathering that many children if I were him, unless it was with someone I loved very much, and even then, it would still be a lower amount. One of the few things I technically disagree with him.

Chinese manned space agency is sending a call for bids for a low inclination lunar survey satellite to map and prospect minerals of the first and subsequent landing site of the crewed space program.
While Chang'e 7 and 8's orbiters will carry mapping and mineral prospection instruments, they will be in polar orbit, which probably results in lower revisit rate for the currently planned low-latitude landing sites (also Chang'e 8 is relatively late compared to the planned crewed lunar landing)
Also, Chang'e is CNSA while this is CMSA.

Looking at the comments here is honestly depressing. So many people that have worked at or know people that work at NASA talking about how inclusive NASA was, that there were LGBT symbols everywhere and that NASA was officially represented at Pride. No wonder NASA hasn't done anything of worth these past 20 years apart from a few probes and rovers. They need to get rid of all that shit and make the physical side of the workforce young white men again. People that support all that fag shit are nihilists who hate pioneerism and exploration.

SA only requires 30%. Assuming that 30% ownership is just for a local subsidiary or partner of SpaceX rather than the full parent company, that means it's just another bribe/tax that you pay for doing business in SA. The marginal cost for Starlink to extend coverage into SA is close to zero, so there's no reason for SpaceX not to pay the bribe/tax. Various space-based communications services are available in SA, so it's apparently possible to arrange.

Musk is not screwing over potential subscribers.
People's own governments are screwing them over. Maybe they should rise up, and overthrow said government?
Why cant Musk simply take down the geofencing and fuck everyone's gay policy? Since when did "we" care about "their" policy? Recommendation for people who desire Starlink:
1. Buy Starlink equipment in any country that sells it. Transfer funds securely to SpaceX to activate.
2. Cross borders with your personal items as any individual has a right to.
3. Use Starlink, and enjoy free speech with a strong, jam resistant signal.
*Use Starlink at your own risk. Not void where prohibited. Use Starlink responsibly.

Even if SpaceX had to give away 30% ownership of the local entity, that doesn't mean they would even necessarily need to give away 30% of profits. The subsidiary or partner company could just funnel 100% of the profits to SpaceX as debt or a licencing fee, and show zero profit on their financial statements

Just as there are English "feet", there are German "Fuss", a Swedish "fot", or even a Chinese "chi". These are all similar but very much not the same. Likewise, an English "mile" is similar but very much not the same as a German "Meile", Swedish "mil" or Chinese "li".

First off, the demise of DEI practices is a win for merit-based culture, which is necessary if humanity is going to meaningfully develop our space flight capabilities. Hiring the best people for the job gets you Apollo Programs and organizations like SpaceX. Letting DEI-oriented HR ladies run your organization gets you Starliner.
To more directly answer your question:
1. DEI hiring/etc is literally ILLEGAL, hiring based on race or sex is a clear cut violation of the Civil Rights Act.
2. The new federal government may actually prosecute them for this, unlike the previous governments which rewarded them for it.
3. Public polling shows them that the public is fed up and may soon start punishing more companies and brands than Budweiser for it.

Brilliant Pebbles prevents a counter-force first strike from succeeding. It doesn't prevent a counter-value retaliatory strike from succeeding.
Counter-force first strike:
>aimed at military assets
>needs to disarm the target country such that retaliation isn't possible
>if even a small fraction of the strikes fail, then the whole thing has failed and there will be a retaliation
>needs to hit targets deep in the mainland US, namely missile silos
>hitting targets so far inland necessitates the use of ballistic missiles
>Brilliant Pebbles stops those ballistic missiles
Counter-value retaliation:
>aimed at cities, intended to punish the target by killing a large number of civilians
>doesn't need to hit ALL cities to succeed, even a single city being nuked is such a severe outcome that the threat of this serves as adequate deterrent
>only a small fraction of the counter-value strikes succeeding is still a successful outcome
>there are plenty of cities in vulnerable positions along coastlines, with ports, etc
>Ballistic missiles are not necessary, enough counter-value strikes adequate for deterrence can be carried out using cruise missiles, long range torpedoes, shipping containers, etc
Defense against counter-force strikes is actually EASY. Arguably you don't even need Brilliant Pebbles for this, as SSBNs exist. Brilliant Pebbles is best thought as a hedge against the possibility that SSBNs could somehow be neutralized, which is fairly implausible if we're being frank. On the other hand, comprehensive 100% airtight defense against a counter-value retaliatory strike is IMPOSSIBLE. If there is even just a 10% chance that a single warhead reaches a city, then the threat of a counter-value retaliation serves as effective deterrence and prevents a war from happening.

Also, a hedge against the possibility that an adversary might be irrational enough to not be deterred by the threat of a counter-value retaliation (they don't give a shit if their own civilians get nuked.) It prevents, for example, Xi Jinping from deciding to sacrifice Chinese cities for an opportunity to destroy most of the American military. He would have to be completely insane to ever think that, but Brilliant Pebbles is a hedge against that possibility.
