>The lunar rover YAOKI, developed by Dymon successfully landed on the Moon on March 7, 2025, and captured 25 photos from inside a crater. While all the images were taken from the same angle, we discovered that by stacking, adjusting, and analyzing them, various details became visible.

>In a March 12 media round table, Tory Bruno, president and chief executive of ULA, said the anomaly was traced to a “manufacturing defect” in one of the internal parts of the nozzle, an insulator. Specific details, he said, remained proprietary. “We have isolated the root cause and made appropriate corrective actions,” he said, which were confirmed in a static-fire test of a motor at a Northrop test site in Utah in February. “So we are back continuing to fabricate hardware and, at least initially, screening for what that root cause was.”
>That investigation was aided by the recovery of hardware that fell off the motor while in flight, which landed near the pad, as well as “trimmings” of material left over from the manufacturing process. ULA also recovered both boosters from the ocean so that they could compare the one that lost its nozzle to the one that performed normally. The defective hardware “just stood out night and day,” Bruno said. “It was pretty clear that that was an outlier, far out of family.”
>That information has been passed along to the Space Force as part of the process to obtain certification for national security missions. “We’ve completed everything that you’re supposed to do,” he said, with that information provided last month. “Typically, it’s not a very long process in the past when vehicles are certified,” but deferred questions on the timeline of certification to the Space Force.
>Bruno also addressed in the media round table a report by Bloomberg March 11 that the Department of the Air Force, in an annual assessment of contractor performance, had concluded ULA “has performed unsatisfactorily” on its National Security Space Launch contract. That report also said the Air Force was assessing if it was feasible to reassign launches awarded to ULA to an “alternate provider,” which would be SpaceX.

There's only one way to get an exact 50/50 split (50 CW, 50 CCW), but there's two ways to get a 2:1 split (33 CW/67 CCW or 67 CW/33 CCW).
So this was twice as likely.

Probably has to do with the density distribution of dark matter. Enough mass in a particular point in space will lead to rotational changes of normal matter as stuff falls towards it. The other likely explanation is that galactic collisions factor more into directionality of rotation, as most collisions are not between supermassive blackholes of equivalent mass; but enough angular momentum is imparted to flip directionality. We can look towards Uranus as an example, where in its deep past, a collision occurred a latitude instead of a longitude, which leads to a planet essentially in a tailspin. Occam's Razor points to these more than this being another sign we're in a simulation.
That said, if we are discussing simulation theory, I'd say that the speed of light is basically the renderer capping physics at 30fps because the simulation breaks at anything higher, leading to computational failures and massive geometric/simulation/rendering errors. Proving once and for all that consoles hold us all back.

The guy who wrote the paper is a crank. He is a computer scientist, not an astronomer. He has made literally dozens of conflicting claims over years about anisotropy between spin directions. One particular claim was followed up by some astronomers, who found his signal was garbage. His catalog of galaxies had many duplicate objects listed many times, when they removed these the signal vanished. He didn't do the simplest checks. And you can bet he put the same attention to detail and rigour in this new claim.
For this particular paper he is looking at a tiny part of the sky, as JWST data covers small areas. Nearby galaxies can have correlated spin, this paper uses less than 300 galaxies, it's also not 2/3rds. He could have easily tested his ideas by looking at other JWST data in other parts of the sky, the introduction even talks about some, but the paper only presents one field and doesn't say why.

It's true for some things, like how the president is responsible for economic performance in this term even though that never made sense. Or how no one gives a shit about who wrote a song, only who performed it. Or how a movie star might get more credit than a director, who gets more credit that his writers, artists, cinematographers, editors, or composers.
Musk either seems to be good at managing on balance or at least good enough, the collasal failures haven't been fatal. I think what matters more is he has effectively built a nerd cult of personality that attracts talent into his companies. People want to work for mavericks.

Also the image is totally misleading. If you look at the paper with more galaxies, he finds the opposite, more galaxies rotating the other way. You might say that this is a different direction, it's not, it's a wider view of the same area.
So this guy looks at a tiny set of data (34! galaxies), claims to see more in the same direction. So writes a paper and claims this is definitely statistically significant. Then he finds this wider data, which should allow him to test his claim, at it shows exactly the opposite. More anti. He again writes a paper claiming how it's significant without ever reflecting on the fact that his own results conflict with each other. He has failed to replicate his own study. The take away is that these results are not statistically meaningful.
Another paper debunking his previous claims based on shitty use of statistics.

>On 22 February, technicians at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida carefully lifted Orion out of its assembly stand to begin installing the solar wings. The installation is a very delicate process which takes over a week and is performed by the engineers from Airbus in the Netherlands, where the solar arrays were built. Each wing was meticulously aligned and secured to the European Service Module using 16 hold-down release mechanisms. These release mechanisms ensure the solar panels remain locked during launch.

>Technicians install four solar array wings on NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft inside the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, March 3, 2025. Each solar array is nearly 23 feet long and can turn on two axes to remain aligned with the Sun for maximum power. Orion’s solar arrays, manufactured and installed by ESA (European Space Agency) and its contractor Airbus, will deliver power to the service module that provides propulsion, thermal control, and electrical power to the spacecraft, as well as air and water for the crew.

Back in 2019 NASA awarded the "Orion Production and Operations Contract" to Lockheed for six to twelve operational spacecraft. #2 flew on Artemis I, #3 is undergoing final prep for A2, and #4 and #5 are in various stages of early construction. #3-5 were specifically ordered under the OPOC in 2019, and #6-8 were ordered in FY2022. That's a bit concerning as NASA was supposed to start reusing Orions by the time we got to A6, but at least the individual unit cost seems to be coming down dramatically. The first production batch was only 50% the cost of the capsule that flew on Artemis 1, and and Lockheed seems to think a further 30% price drop is possible for the second batch. That'd put each Orion at around only $400M per capsule which isn't that much more than the estimated production price for a Crew Dragon. Lockheed was talking about building Orions in trios, so I don't think the second batch have started production yet.

Orion reuse is kind of a mess. There's "light" and "heavy" reuse modes. Right now we're getting started in "light," where we just pull the avionics, life support, etc, out of old Orions and reinstall them in new ones. Light reuse is supposed to get us up to Artemis VI where we start heavy reuse and refly the actual pressure vessels. Light reuse is supposed to be good for a total of five missions and heavy reuse is good for only two. I have no idea how this is supposed to line up with the various capsule production orders. It looks like the plan is to eventually build up a of pool of interchangeable hardware that gets periodically refreshed in between being build-a-bear'ed into operational spacecraft.
I'm not saying that this is the worst way to do reuse, but if there's a worse one I haven't heard of it.

It's quite not that bad, it's under 10:1 requested: available hours. There are some ground based telescopes which have been even worse. It is pretty brutal this year though, even proposals in the top quintile were rejected. JWST is particularly time intensive because when you submit a proposal it isn't just the scientific justification text, you have to plan every aspect of the observations (exposure time, dithers, filter changes...), there are hundreds of pages of documentation. And each type of observation you do has to have the needed exposure time simulated and justified. So it's pretty anticlimactic when you get rejected (like mine this year). But you can always resubmit.
>>16617623
Actually the other way round, NASA pays US astronomers who get time to enable them to do the science. These grants add extra pressure on submitting proposals.

China's CASC and Landspace say they are.
>the dream of the space shuttle was dead
There was the Delta Clipper, Venture Star and XS-1, though those never went far. CASC was working on some kind of secretive reusable TSTO spaceplane and they did a suborbital test launch in 2021, though that might've been canned in favor of LM9/10A/12A. CASIC has supposedly been working on a TSTO spaceplane called Tengyun. I think what definitely killed the TSTO splaceplane concept was F9 and Starship.

They're both aiming for something like 14k satellites when the constellation is fully operational, so even 10% is a pretty big deal. That said, Starlink's full operational population is several times larger than what's currently in orbit, so I'm sure the Chinese projects have some interim "technically operational" milestones that they can hit a lot more easily. Both projects have factories running and producing hardware in volume so the real issue would be getting enough launches to get their hardware into orbit. Having a delay be someone else's fault helps a lot in getting extensions with these kind of things. Given that the first deadlines aren't until 2028/30 I don't think they'll have much trouble finding rides. If China doesn't have one of its Falcon clones working by then it's probably because their economy and collapsed and government devolved into a new cannibal warlord era, so meeting an ITU deadline will be the least of their worries.

in KSP you can ride a whiplash to Mach 4 (1200 m/s), which is almost half of orbital velocity (2300m/s) and 20km, which is 1/4 of the altitude to your destination LKO
this is much better than the equivalent on a full size earth, where orbital velocity is ~8 km/s.
The maximum speed for airbreathing vehicles is still the same but the orbital velocity is higher, so you only get 1/5 of the velocity required instead of half.
>>16617703
Super Heavy gets you a bunch of altitude as well, and spare vertical velocity (read: time to accelerate)
a horizontal takeoff vehicle capable of lifting Starship with this sort of performance would be too big basically, you'd need to start by building a runway for it. If you really want spaceplanes you should do vertical takeoff, horizontal landing.

no they arent because i used them near every day for my last job. i havent seen a hose that wasnt ribbed. if they are used for some sort of vacuum too then ok but i havent used them for that.

this can happen if you have too much fuel for your thrust level, like with Centaur
it doesn't have enough thrust to burn all of its fuel before it falls back into the atmosphere, there's a maximum mass it can deliver to LEO and you can replace some of the fuel (that can't be used) with payload mass. Be better to just use more engines in my opinion.

One guy from SX I know who works on Starship said they're not *quite* as pressed with time as with IFT 8, ofc I mean like, 2 weeks more time to work on it and not months lol. I think musk just asked for an April launch of IFT 9, which should give them about 2 weeks more than what musk asked for IFT 8 (Launch in february, actually he wanted even before feb 24th kek)
Berger says unlikely to be before Summer but I kinda doubt it, he's also been wrong about some starship aspects lately (thinking Superheavy reuse would be a late 2025/early 2026 thing, thinking HLS had higher priority than Marsship)

wait, so do we actually know by know why starship v2 fails to do what v1 could?
Like an actual diagramm or youtube video or something with side by side comparison of v1 and v2, what exactly changed between the two versions, and how these changes resulted in the issues we're seeing.
AFAIK v2 is a bit taller.
And the problem seems to be with the feeder lines and harmonic resonance or some shit.
Did they change the placement of the feeder lines in v2 or is this issue literally just from the increased lenght of the pipes or what?

oh nice, thanks.
I'm assuming they wanted the additional tubes for higher or more even flowrate or something.
my KSP brain tells me to just put some struts between them and it should be fine hopefully.
Or does the system need reworking from the ground up and its a fundamental design flaw?

The current problem appears to be violent acoustic coupling between the plumbing lines and the engines, and mechanically linking the pipes together could dampen it or it could amplify the problem. This probably can't be cludged, and likely requires in depth analysis and calculation.

>All up, the CH4 side consumes 127 kW of electrical power and radiates 141 kW, while the oxygen side consumes 380 kW and radiates 399 kW. The system consumes 507 kW of electrical power. Assuming a solar array with 36% efficiency pointed directly at the sun with 50% utilization (we’re in shade half the time while in LEO) we need 2000 m^2 of solar array, equivalent to a disk with a radius of 25 m.

>In February, Isar announced that it had completed the final major milestone in the development of its two-stage Spectrum rocket with the successful test-firing of both the first and second stages. At the time, the company stated that the only remaining hurdle before its inaugural launch attempt was obtaining a launch licence from the Civil Aviation Authority of Norway (CAA Norway). While the Andøya Spaceport notice suggests this hurdle has now been cleared, no formal announcement has been made by CAA Norway.

Yeah, every single one of those is brand new for SLS. The "External Tank" core stage is a complete lie and is a brand new rocket. Solids are getting a SLS-specific redesign (they are using shuttle-era casings for some reason right now). RS-25 is getting a new model just for SLS to eliminate its most costly components because it won't be reused. RL10 is getting a new model just for the EUS.
To recover the cost all of this gets amortized into the unit cost for the SLS.

The last time it happened would have been Alpha's first flight or one of Astra's disasters. It was more of a hurdle back in the early days of space launch. These days it's the point where things go wrong if someone else has already gone seriously wrong. Both Alpha and Rocket 3 lost engines early on and weren't able to punch through.

Not in a really long time. Meteorologists got good early on at predicting when upper level winds would exceed a rocket's tolerance. The only wind loss event I could find was a a Thor-Agena that got pushed off course and detonated by range safety back in 1965. There might have been more wind-related failures in the USSR, but the R7's ICBM heritage gave it pretty good all-weather capability and if the Soviets documented this failure case I've never seen it.

>A post-launch briefing on the Crew-10 mission is set to begin at 8:30 pm ET.
https://www.youtube.com/live/4dCQ-M
>Bowersox begins his comments by saying he admired the team's work to review the hydraulics issue on the clamp arms on the transporter erector that caused the mission scrub on Wednesday. Says it was the right thing to wait to clear the issue and for the poor weather to clear (Thursday was not ideal from a weather perspective).
>Stich says it was a little more than six weeks ago that they made the decision to swap the Dragon spacecraft that Crew-10 would use. He says the work items that were still open as of the flight readiness review a week ago were closed before launch. [he] says the crew and Dragon spacecraft are healthy and doing well. He alludes to the insulation foam that liberated from the Falcon 9 second stage, but says it didn't make contact with Dragon. Says Walker will address further.
>Stich says Dragon is not working any issues and is on track to dock with the forward port on the Harmony module of the space station at 11:30 pm ET (0330 UTC) on Saturday. There will be a Dragon mission management meeting tomorrow evening at about 8 pm ET and the crew will suit up around 9 pm ET.
>Contella says undocking of Crew-9 is scheduled for no earlier than Wednesday as they are trying to stretch the consumables onboard. The undocking will be driven by weather around Florida.
>The Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to depart the ISS around March 21, Contella says. The NG-22 mission (now scheduled for over the summer) is still under review for its launch date. The transport vehicle was damaged bringing it down to Florida.
>Walker says this mission was "particularly dynamic," pointing to the schedule changes related to this mission and all that came with it. She says safety was "kept at the forefront" throughout the process.

>Regarding the scrub on Wednesday, Walker says they cycled the clamp arms opened and closed at various points through the count. They were able to run additional fluid through the lines on Thursday to clear the air in the system. Remarks that today, March 14, is the anniversary of SpaceX's founding in 2002.
>Walker says the insulation that liberated "did its job" on the way to orbit and "it's ok if it liberates."
>Matsuura remarks that it's a great honor for a Japanese astronaut to fly to the ISS on Dragon each of the five years since the spacecraft began flying crew. JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi will assume command of the ISS during the course of his mission as part of Expedition 73.
>Stich says the earliest undocking time would be about 4 am ET (0800 UTC) on Wednesday, March 19.
>Regarding the amount of time NASA wants between missions, Stich says they've reduced that time from 48 to 24 hours. He says because the time between SPHEREx/PUNCH and the original Crew-10 launch date, and the fact that NASA teams were in the loop, they were able to proceed with the Wednesday launch attempt.
>Asked again about the foam that liberated, Walker says it's expected that some liberates as it does its job. She says on a satellite mission, there's a cover over them. Stich says at the velocity that a piece of foam could make contact with at that point, it's quite slow and is lightweight.
>Stich says they thought they might need to switch the Dragon spacecraft and began looking at Endurance last year. Says there was no additional loss of life risk with the Crew-10 flight.
>Addressing the fuel leak that caused the loss of B1086 through a post-landing fire, Walker says that there would need to be three, separate, anomalous events all happening simultaneously. The static fire done on the Crew-10 booster (B1090) helped provide more mission assurance.

Hadfield made a good point. The temperature would nosedive. It would be kinda scary.
The crew of Apollo 10 told mission control they thought something was wrong because the temperature of the CM suddenly started dropping, before realizing it was because they passed into the shadow of the Moon

The problem isn’t necessarily the tiles themselves or the material they’re made from, it’s finding a way to confidently attach a gazillion of them onto the ship.

They need a tested reliable v3 Starship. Then they need to modify that to a v4 with legs and a lot of additional equipment, then get that tested and working. 2028 for a real attempt in out.
Don't think Elon can pull together a v3 based vanity launch ala sending a Tesla.

I think of it as the last big triumph of oldspace in science fiction before SpaceX/Musk comes along and disrupts the whole paradigm and everyone's mindset of how thing should be done. Basically a turning point in which NASA, congress, and heritage contractors realize they haven't done shit in 50 years so they make Constellation and Ares V finally work. As a result, we get our long-awaited return to the Moon, legit in-space construction, spinhabs, and manned trips to the red planet, including a base there. Basically an expendable, more expensive, scaled-down version of Elon's plans, something that oldspace could achieve in real life. Now, everything that comes after it would be completely absurd and nonsensical if Musk/SpaceX is not even mentioned, marking the beginning of a new era in space fiction. I know that the book was written in like 2009-11, but the movie came just in time (2015) before being rendered unrealistic by Musk lol. Hell, some last-minute additions had to be made which mentioned SpaceX in some promo piece for the movie to make it more realistic.

I think it's only one guy. Ironic, cause Interstellar has a more reddit ending than any other serious space movie. And no, I haven't watched stuff like Don't Look Up, that's just anti-space propaganda made by urfers.
