As another anon said, the next 12 years at least are guaranteed favorable, barring something genuinely wild. That's more than enough time for the DNC to finish eating itself.
I assume the goal is for the nation to be in such a good position at the end of those 12 years that fucking with the guy primarily responsible for it would be political suicide.
I suppose he could also amass enough pull to get a unified and coherent third party off the ground, drawing in the more sane DNC and GOP members who simply have no viable alternative, along with some independents and libertarians. If you got a third party off the ground which ran a moderate position and could pull supporting votes from either of the other two depending on the content of specific legislation, that third party could effectively control Congress.

I get the fear behind being scared of starting from scratch, but honestly it’s worth it. China is still so far behind and if you have a factorio nazi like, for example, von Braun or Elon making sure funds and resources are being actually utilized for the goal instead of endless 20 years of constellation/SLS grift, there could be new architecture from scratch in a reasonable time.
Rip the bandaid off and just kill SLS/Orion entirely. People tend to forget just how fucking fast the jump from mercury-redstone to Apollo 11 was. 8 years; and that involved the USA brute forcing discoveries like rendezvous, docking, new engine types, everything. The USA could get revamped Artemis architecture online in 6 years easily. Could do it before Trump is out of office if they drive themselves like slaves (but this is a bit unrealistic and only likely to happen if the China threat were much closer to returning than it currently is)

There's not much going on right now. All we've got coming up are Starlink launches until the 26th, and that's Intuitive Machines' next lunar lander launching on yet another Falcon 9. The next non-Falcon going up is a Soyuz launching on the 28th carrying Progress MS-30. Until then we'll all fall back on the old standard of pseudo-political shitposting.

i dont think he is, that's just a leftist conspiracy theory. instead this seems to align with that report from last month that trump's team has been interested in pivoting the military away from europe to focus on china:

>President Donald Trump’s team of defense advisers is taking shape, this week adding two high-level officials who have called for slashing the American armed presence in Europe and broadly restructuring the military to deal with China.
>Austin Dahmer and Alexander Velez-Green, known for their hawkish views on China, will serve in senior posts focused on developing military strategy, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
>In [a 2023] report, Dahmer does not take a position on how big the DOD budget should be. But without a big boost in expenditures, he wrote, the Pentagon would need to search for savings or “bill payers” to surge capabilities required to deter potential Chinese aggression against Taiwan, Okinawa or the Philippines.
>“One of the largest bill payers in resourcing the strategy of denial should be the Army,” the report said.
>Overall, Dahmer’s report recommends about $70 billion less annually for the Army, which along with other cuts would give about $40 billion more apiece to the Navy and Air Force.
>The realignment he calls for in the report would also exact a heavy toll on the security structures that Europe has been relying on for over a decade. For one thing, the U.S. European Command mission would be slashed.

That's because white men were the only people that a pre-civil right movement NASA could've picked.
Mercury/Gemini/Apollo all relied on pilots from WW2 or Korea for flight experience and that a black man let alone a woman would've then been selected for further astronaut training is near to zero. Only Ed Dwight and Robert Lawrence Jr. could've been around for 'old NASA' missions (had the former actually made selection and the latter not die a few months after being accepted for MOL). That's why it was only in 83' that a black man or a woman flew into space on the shuttle.

https://spaceflightnow.com/2025/02/12/nasa-announces-new-launch-date-for-crew-10-swap-of-spacex-dragon-spacecraft-following-construction-delays/

It was delayed because of construction issues at SpaceX.
>“It’s going through it’s final preparation. Right now, it’s slated for Crew-10 in February,” Stich said. “It’s exciting to have another brand new Dragon spacecraft for Crew-10. That’s the plan right now.”

>However, plans began to shift a bit when in December, NASA announced in a blog post the new Crew Dragon’s delivery was taking longer than anticipated and wouldn’t arrive in Florida until “early January” 2025. As a result the agency delayed the launch of Crew-10 to “late March 2025.”

>“Fabrication, assembly, testing, and final integration of a new spacecraft is a painstaking endeavor that requires great attention to detail,” Stich said in the post. “We appreciate the hard work by the SpaceX team to expand the Dragon fleet in support of our missions and the flexibility of the station program and expedition crews as we work together to complete the new capsule’s readiness for flight.”

I don't really see how this can be blamed on biden when the capsule just wasn't ready. Maybe he put some crazy safety requirements on the new capsule? But I don't see any evidence of that.

Whether you use distributed launch, in-space refueling, or whatever tech, that's not what matters. What matters is that you spread fixed costs around and use as little as possible that is bespoke.

The SLS/Orion based lunar program is bad because SLS and Orion are very bespoke. The areas of application for SLS and Orion are very limited, as are the areas of application for their components and supply chains. Thus the fixed costs cannot be spread around on many units, so the fixed costs will be high relative to the production run size and so the unit cost will be high.

An example of an alternative and superior way of doing it is the the Chinese CZ-10/Mengzhou based approach:
1. Even though a new pad needs to be built, this is not so bad because CZ-10 will share this pad with CZ-10A
2. Mengzhou will have a LEO variant
3. CZ-10 will have a common tank diameter and thus can likely share a production line with CZ-5, 5B and 10A
4. CZ-10 cores and boosters will use YF-100K engines, which are also used by CZ-12 and similar to YF-100 engines
5. CZ-10 second stage will use YF-100M engines, which will also be used by CZ-10A and are similar to YF-100 engines
6. CZ-10 third stage will use YF-75E engines, which are similar to YF-75D used on CZ-5/5B and YF-75H used on CZ-8A

What is this? A system analogous to the Iron Dome would be useless in CONUS. Higher-end American systems like GMD, THAAD and Patriot PAC-3 already exist, and as I understand it, they are not really considered economical for wide-scale deployment because ICBMs are very hard to intercept, and furthermore the US is so big that it would be ruinous to try to cover the country with such systems.

And then after it landed, they found out that it was also broken in a whole new way that could have been just as dangerous.

Is that what it officially is, or is it just your interpretation of what it is, or is it what it isn't but you think it should be?

There doesn't seem to be much detail. There is a proposed $19.5B bill that the article refers to, which mostly funds existing interceptor programs. There is $900m for research into "space-based missile defense", which might refer mostly to sensors rather than interceptors.

>develop new capabilities, like space-based sensors and new intercept technologies

>$12 billion to expand missile interceptor fields at Fort Greely in Alaska with new Next Generation Interceptors
>$1.4 billion for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system
>$1.5 billion for PAC-2 and PAC-3 munitions and MM-104 Patriot batteries
>$1 billion to build Aegis Ashore ballistic missile defense infrastructure in Alaska and on the East Coast
>$900 million to research and develop space-based missile defense
>$750 million to modernize terrestrial-based domain awareness radars

keeping them there for 6 months longer after they had already been there for 6 months is just the status quo, not really an event

actually bringing them back is an event and would bring positive press for SpaceX and Musk and as a consequence toward Trump due to Musk endorsing and campaigning for Trump

why do you assume Musk offered it after the election? what a weird assumption to make
several could mean 3-4 months, it has been 3.5 months from the election
so this is something that could have been happening right around election (bringing them back), which would make the optics for Musk even better in that case and the politics even clearer
imagine the astronauts coming back a week before the election? pretty easy talking point and good PR for SpaceX and Musk
and the discussion or offer probably happened like half a year ago or more

and to add to that, BOs upper stage is hydrogen based, their moon landing vehicle was hydrogen too I think?
and hydrogen + oxygen is relatively easy to get on the moon compared to methane
it just makes sense

maybe park a Starship on the south pole on the moon to claim some land and then let BO do most of the stuff there (and other companies) when they get up to speed

SpaceX can then focus on Mars and support LEO and Moon missions with their cheap launch but not participating much in it otherwise

If they're setting it up to happen on Earth then why not in space too, Trump doesn't care seemingly about returning to the moon or Artemis, he hasn't mentioned it once, Elon obsessively cares about Mars only, and for Trump it would be a bigger victory anyways since it would be the first time and not just a return

Given everything that's happening now with the change of attitude on Ukraine and Russia this is not that far-fetched, jesus christ you must have a dense thick skull if you can't stand back and see the bigger picture that might be at play here

Someone on another board said elon/trump represent a different style of globalist. Not globohomo like soros and dems, but globalist in the sense that they want free trade with russia and china.
Does not seem impossible think that Musk would “give” the moon to china as a stupid art of the deal trade to get better deals in business and finance.
Could just be a schizo theory though. Musk also wants to deorbit ISS ASAP which would absolutely handicap Russian manned space and leave them without a Station as they wait to build their new dumb station—an extreme blow to their pride and almost a direct insult to Russia itself.
But again, Musk does seem to love China almost to an annoying degree. Eyebrows be raised—he should be barred from doing Tesla business over there imo

All those facts are true, but I think the issue fundamentally lied with SpaceX being told a flat no and potentially no follow up on that no. Which is technically NASA's prerogative, but a dismissive no with no follow up is only ever used when there's politics involved. NASA and SpaceX are super tight. This would be the first crack in their relationship, arguably.

I forgot to add or realized it after I posted that, SpaceX has been overwhelmingly and beyond the call of duty, transparent with NASA about all things space. I imagine that Elon expected, at least out of mutual respect, that NASA would be honest with him on why they were denying any potential discussion on the matter. But in all likelihood, he got radio silence. It's basically the Saudis and the funding secured situation w/ Tesla all over again. He was given the impression that there was mutual trust and respect between parties, only to discover after the fact that it was only ever one way. Stuff like that seriously pisses him off. It's what landed him in immense hot water with the SEC over a decade ago, and I imagine that he felt the same with NASA after the Boeing Starliner debacle and SpaceX's position to assist being under utilized against it. This is all speculation of course, but these points are probable and in alignment with past events and Elon's behavior changing thereafter both vocally and politically.

That requires that characterisation to be true. With everyone from every side saying no politics were involved at the time, Musk just now claiming they were rings rather hollow, especially considering how much he just likes to say shit all day. I don't doubt he offered the mission, but we have no idea why NASA said no, if they even did. I'm not inclined to just believe Elon on this anymore without any supporting evidence. And whatever the reason, the way it was done was still the absolutely sound and correct choice, just like sending Starliner back empty, and would still have been an easy win for Trump and Musk without saying anything because retards don't know better. Now retards still don't know better but everyone who does and isn't a 1 is extremely pissed off.

Maybe they actually do detest their long stay despite this likely being their last mission of their career and ending up representing a big fraction of their time in orbit, and only reluctantly agreed to the Boeing test mission because the planned duration was so short.

Why does Elon want to save those astronauts from ISS

Anonymous No. 16593388

>>16593379
Yes, we need to be lockstep with Elon, we need to deorbit the ISS, cancel Artemis and HLS entirely. Wait for SpaceX to be ready to start going to Mars in 5-6 years after they finish developing Starship and everything.

That is what a true SpaceX fan would want, only what Elon wants.

Launching a Starship to Mars might take as many as a dozen refueling flights, and 80% of Starship's propellant load is liquid oxygen. One Starship launch uses about one complete day's worth of liquid oxygen production in the United States. Rounding, lets say that you can probably launch one Starship to Mars every two weeks with our current liquid oxygen production infrastructure.

This is the part where I remind everyone that lunar regolith is about 41% Oxygen by mass, and people have been talking for years about the energy advantages of using the Moon as a refueling station.

Then why would he explicitly say there was no political meddling, like everyone else? The reason he wasn't very critical of the Biden admin is because they barely did anything to criticise in space, just like in this case, and he called out the NSC being essentially dead several times. They simply didn't do anything and let Nelson run the show, which should tell you all you need to know.

Breaking down metal oxides is a bit more intensive, but the savings come in only needing to ship methane up from Earth.

The Starship development ethos of test and fix as you fly depends on a quick iteration cycle.
Why is the backlog of Ships and Boosters so deep then?
The time from when the forward flap issue was talked about (before ift-1) to when it was actually flown was so fucking long.
Their production rate combined with unwillingness to skip already made vehicles seems to be shooting themselves in the foot.

speaking of the american iron dome, some news dropped earlier:

>An 'Iron Dome' for North America? Talk heats up about Canada joining U.S. missile defence
>It came up last week at a U.S. Senate committee hearing, when the top-ranking Democrat reported he'd just gotten positive signals from Defence Minister Bill Blair that Canada could end decades of reluctance to join U.S. missile defence.
>"I met recently with the defence minister from Canada," Reed said, referring to Blair's visit to Washington this month.
>"They are very much interested in participating [in this initiative]. They have legal obstacles, but they assume they can jump over them."
>Guillot said the first step would be to ensure that Canada's next generation of sensors communicate with the U.S. system.
>Then, in the future, he said, should Canada ever install "defeat mechanisms" on its soil — technology capable of taking down a missile — it could operate under the binational NORAD command, as fighter jets already do.
>Blair himself spoke positively about tightening missile-defence co-operation after his trip to Washington. He told reporters that U.S. military planners hope their Iron Dome covers the Arctic.
>"An integrated missile defence system for all of North America is the thing that makes sense to everybody," he said.

A guy who was at my helicopter school a few weeks ago works at JSC in some capacity (I think a former astronaut, now in some management role, didn't get his name but looking at headshots it may have been Linnehan), and he was boomer doomering about HLS starship but had zero clue that Spacex had done a fuel transfer test with the header tank or that NASA had corroborated the successful test.

>$200M cost, whoever it is paid by
Is that how much it always costs to launch a Dragon mission regardless of specific mission factors? For all we know, SpaceX was prepared to offer NASA a significant discount for this alleged rescue mission proposal, and it's possible Musk would have been willing to pay for it out of his own pocket if he really thought it would give a boost to Trump's election chances.

>leaves the station understaffed for up to half a year because no Crew Dragon is available for Crew-9 anymore, as Freedom is used for this mission, Endeavour is up there for Crew-8, Resilience is modified for Polaris Dawn, and Endurance is still in processing after Crew-7
Is there any good public info about how long it takes SpaceX to refurbish Dragons for the next mission? Keep in mind that they're preparing to launch Fram2 on Resilience as early as next month, which would be only six months after it got back from Polaris Dawn. If we're to assume that's a feasible Dragon refurb/prep time, then Endurance could have been ready to bring Butch & Suni back at least as early as September.

>calling someone a retard
sign of seething. Loss of ability to provide a counterargument and thus the need to resort to authority and decrying of another's character. Not relevant to a discussion and a sure indicator of low self-control.
>calling out a lie
observation of inconsistency in provided statements compared to known facts. Questioning any narrative is rational and adult behavior. Very relevant to the topic.
at the end of the day, Elon got butthurt mad that no one except a few indians believed him and lashed out at the astronaut. On the other hand, the astronaut was unnecessarily self confident. If he had any source other than dude trust me, then he sure as hell failed to provide it. Finally, he didn't call Elon a liar, he called his statements a lie. If you can't understand the difference between the two, then you really shouldn't be discussing this event.

>the Biden admin has been extremely hostile towards Musk
that's true and I haven't seen anyone here deny that. However, in this particular case, evidence and common sense suggest Musk to be wrong or lying. see >>16593261 and https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/02/nasa-moves-up-target-to-return-butch-and-suni-but-not-for-political-reasons/ (note the last three paragraphs and remember how risk averse nuNASA is)
>>16594624
If you can't even grasp the difference between attacking someone's statement and their character then you really need to get tested for aspergers. Look, if the guy had called Elon a liar then it would very much be an EDS tier insult and a poor one at that. The fact that he limited his objection merely to Elon's statement shows that the astronaut only had problems with that statement alone. Nuance matters in adult conversations. You only need to look at the following post(https://x.com/Astro_Andreas/status/1892588041908207773) to know that I'm correct:
>Elon, I have long admired you and what you have accomplished, especially at SpaceX and Tesla.
>You know as well as I do, that Butch and Suni are returning with Crew-9, as has been the plan since last September. Even now, you are not sending up a rescue ship to bring them home. They are returning on the Dragon capsule that has been on ISS since last September.
in fact, even if we assume that Musk is correct and biden personally intervened to delay the return, it still doesn't make sense to call this a rescue. Even before crew 9 docked, there was the capsule from crew dragon 8 on the station which would have taken the everyone back to earth in case of an emergency.

Anonymous No. 16594642

>>16594622
its few months before the election, takes a month or something to prepare and launch the capsule, the return would happen right before election
this would give SpaceX good PR and by extension Musk and by extension help Trumps campaign as Musk was already campaigning for him at this point or at least had Musk had endorsed Trump

after the election it doesn't matter either way for this current election that is happening

The Biden admin was largely indifferent about Musk. Biden disliked him for his anti-union stance, but overall most of the things people claim to be fucking with him are just Musk or his companies moving too fast or breaking things and rightfully getting dinged for it. Buttigieg even slapped the FAA for them once.
The one actual political move was denying the RDOF funding early.

>contingency plan
if I understand correctly, this isn't referencing the ""stranding"" but the issues with the OG crew dragon 10 capsule. The two astronauts were supposed to return this month but that got delayed because of spaceX(ironic). The contingency is swapping it with another capsule and that is precisely what is going to happen. Because if NASA waited for C213 to get fixed, the return would get delayed even more and the rations would approach depletion. There is currently only one capsule(+soyuz) docked, so it can only return in an emergency with every astronaut on the station.

sure they could have done that and fucked with every following mission/schedule. But what for? The astronauts weren't stranded without a way out so all it would achieve is give Trump a very minor political win. That's corruption and supposedly the very thing DOGE is fighting against. There's no logical reason to do it so naturally NASA didn't want to do it and instead incorporated the return into future flights. It would have been wasteful to do it any other way.

lol maybe Boeing is handing off Starliner to NASA and is just planning on transferring it to another company or something.
Anyways yeah I think he means Orion. Old guards at NASA consider it “cutting edge” despite being 20 years old lol

To be fair, windows 7 is unironically cutting edge compared to the slop microsoft is currently pushing out the door. I’m not even being hyperbolic. Shit is getting less functional and more annoying to use these days
