Looking at the quarterly report, it does look like Tesla has stopped its explosive growth. revenue has contracted slightly from the amazing 2023 but is still up nicely from 2022, I'd put the problem mostly at lacking a new car model to catch consumer interest.
I think it could be a buyable stock if you have faith in Tesla being capable of competing with Waymo/Uber in the taxi service sector with the planned FSD fleet.

Nice idea, but needs so much electricity that the ISS solar panels would have to do nothing but charge batteries for 15+ minutes for a small burn.
They were going to send up a test article, but never got around to it. Whether that was because they really couldn't make it work, or because Space Is Hard, who knows.

Actually an American. I just grabbed a random image out of my spaceplane folder
And it failed because they kept changing the fucking requirements. I can get wanting some alterations after Challenger, but they couldn't make up their mind about basic design specs well before 1986. It's easy to burn through a multi-billion dollar budget if you keep redesigning the same vehicle over and over again

nice idea, but too heavy and too power hungry. Research on it keeps going because it has a famous astronaut leading the effort.
(Remember when they were going to test it on the ISS, because they needed every single solar panel on it to power it?)

People have been drooling over the idea of a tripropellant SSTO for decades. I'm sure it's possible, but I just don't think it could complete against a good two stage system. It's not that hard to imagine taking one of the Hermes lookalike proposals and pulling out everything aft of the flight deck and replacing it with the tanks of a Falcon 9 second stage.

It's not great, but it's a starting point for some interesting ideas. A reusable Falcon 9 can launch about 22 tons to LEO when you include the dry mass of the second stage as part of the payload. Most Hermes-adjacent designs weigh in at around 20 tons fully loaded and have enough room in their cargo bay volume to fit the Falcon's S2 propellant tanks. It should be perfectly possible to build a spaceplane around a Falcon 9 second stage and get a fully reusable crew launch vehicle that can fill the role that Crew Dragon is currently in.

>While #Starship S34 was being restacked on top of #SuperHeavy B15 a piece near the clamps came loose and fell off. I thought I would take a second and explain a bit more about this hardware since there seems to be some confusion.
>This trapezoidal hardware is mostly a guide for aligning the ship/HSR with the HSR/booster during stacking. It allows the hardware to be lowered and if needed, the sloped edges naturally help center the hardware for proper clamp interface.
>The part circled in green appears to be some rigid like plastic or aluminum, that is bolted to the contacting edge of the guide. The red circle is showing where the same part would be installed, but it's missing due to being knocked off. It's likely that the ship was just a little bit too far down when small alignment translations were commanded and the bottom of the ship clipped the very top of the plastic guide while causing the plastic guide to break loose. It does not appear to be any additional damage to the underlying guide structure.
>For additional context, the actual clamping mechanism is circled in blue. This is a hook that rotates forward and backward from this perspective. During stacking this hook is rotated back within the guide structure which protects it and allows for alignment to occur. After setting down the ship, this hook is commanded to rotate forward and grabs into a plate welded inside the skirt of the ship.
>Long story short, this should not affect the clamping mechanism or increase risk of staging issues. This is just a plastic guide meant to be a wear item over time. It will either be replaced or left off (as it's not exactly needed) and stacking can continue.

Mission teams will inspect the module during the coming days to assess whether there is any damage and any associated impacts to schedule. In an abundance of caution, NASA will adjust the cargo manifest on the agency’s next resupply mission on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft in April to add more consumable supplies and food for the space station.

They were already supposed to be back by now, but Elon's shitty capsule malfunctioned and the return had to be delayed. Fucking kek at how he's trying to blame Biden for the incompetence of his own company.

The Biden regime never did like Elon, even well before any public mention of support of Trump or disruption from him buying twitter.
Elon based companies are all outsiders in their respective industries. Unlike Boeing who would subcontract major parts of their spacecraft to other military industrial complex adjacent firms, SpaceX is mostly inhouse for everything.
SpaceX is taking away their profits, so they lobby, lie or just do whatever to not make themselves look incompetent. Of course they have no issue reaching the highest echelons of government.

Okay, shitposting aside for a moment, that fact should tell you that any "big" enough country, say either one from the G20 group, could easily have a decent oldspace-style space program if they really wanted it. Sure, Russia technically inherited it and didn't bother to do much beyond it, but it's something. We are talking about nations with orders of magnitude more men, money, land, and resources than our favorite autistic South Africa turbo autist, yet no one cares to even compete.

going for a vacation for a week and suddenly there is a solar storm or something that prevents all planes from flying for 3 months doesn't mean you die necessarily, but that would still kind of suck
maybe you had some plans for those 3 months?
now add in insult to injury that there is really no real reason that you couldn't fly away other than some row between the owner of the airline liner and a bureucrat that allows the planes to fly

>Wilmore: From my standpoint, politics is not playing into this at all. From our standpoint, I think that they would agree, we came up prepared to stay long, even though we plan to stay short. That's what we do in human spaceflight. That's what your nation's human space flight program is all about, planning for unknown, unexpected contingencies. And we did that, and that's why we flowed right into Crew 9, into Expedition 72 as we did. And it was somewhat of a seamless transition, because we had planned ahead for it, and we were prepared.

Spaceflight is as fake as it can get. To begin with, the entire countdown and radio callouts thing is just a show. There is no 'nominal trajectory', instead the robotic rocket has a setpoint and works towards it with what it has. Then there are these fake low-res fisheye images which aaaalways suffer from interference and delays. Video feed is always delayed and censored. Then there is the fake civilian space industry, when in fact it is just another funding channel for the war industry.

Transmitters are fairly low power on these landers and there's not much in the way of relay hardware near the moon, so it all has to get relayed through big ground array dishes that can have line of sight problems.

Put more FUCKING LEGS on them, not just on where they need to be when upright. Then they won't need as much force to tip back over.

yes, precisely. Which is why investing in a public space company is retarded. Spacex is successful BECAUSE it's private. Because Elon calls the shots and can do whatever the fuck he wants. You can't do that in public companies. So they will never become the next spacex

>The U.S. Space Force said it expects Vulcan to launch 11 national security missions this year. Bruno pointed out there is inherent unpredictability in national security launch schedules, noting that “about half of the spacecraft end up needing to move right, and they move right by a lot.”

IM would probably be fine if they had engine and bettet control authority.
SpaceX are masters of that otherwise.

Last time they broke a leg due to GNC issues from having the laser rangefinder safety enabled, and hit the ground too hard.
It would not be shocking if they broke a leg this time too
Solution isn't to make a squat lander or stronger legs, it's to stop fucking up the landing in a 1/6g vacuum.

the speed of light isn't a problem, plenty of livestreams have a few second delay
the problem is bandwidth

that wasn't with a block 2 ship which is the one with the leeward flaps
so assuming they fixed the issue that doomed ship 33 on flight 7 we will see if this solves the reentry issue
