Has that not been the entire hop campaign?? People are just spoiled because the first few of flights of the full stack went very well. Remember when SN8 (or was it SN11) simply died an hero in the fog? Remember needing to brute force landing legs? Two full stack failures in a row and everyone wants to take the blackpill.
Starship is a super heavy rocket and it’s flown more times already than many operation small and medium lift rockets. They’ll figure it out

using an Apollo LM as your reference is retarded. Some solar or extrasolarsystem bodies could be less massive than the Moon, but way way bigger in size preventing you from reaching low orbit. Others could be way smaller than the Moon but extremely massive, once again preventing you from attaining orbit.

>cut a long story short, we decided to return to South Africa
Glancing over some things there kek. Errol also says he went down to the rocket site in Texas, you can see him trying to remember where they're located. Except SpaceX wasn't doing anything in Texas back in 2002. The book says Errol will just make up weird shit for no discernible reason, I'm inclined to believe he's doing it on that video as well

You are correct. It's just blowing smoke for normies who don't know how anything works. The only real delay that happened for crew-10 was from issues at SpaceX getting it ready for launch, and then ground control issues scrubbing the launch.

Hypothetically NASA could have made an entire new mission to get them home ASAP, but it made more sense to just slot them into normal crew-9 -> crew-10 rotation.

Anyone telling you different is just lying to you.

From what I gathered, Elon was always a weird kid, on the spectrum probably, he wanted to have friends but didn't really know how to make any. But a bunch of people speculated that the rough upbringing also affected his empathy. Just this weird shit about how Errol would randomly just start talking shit about the kids for hours and they'd just have to stand there and listen, or they'd go to some scout camp where all the kids had to fight for food if they wanted to eat. From what I understand, an abusive childhood will affect your brain development, basically make you more of a sociopath, which is different from antisocial personality disorder that you're born with. Elon can be notoriously harsh and even mentions his lack of empathy as a positive in managing companies, since he can just switch it off and fire people just based on if they're worth keeping around or not or demand ridiculous work hours and borderline impossible deadlines. It's said that he's not always a dick and can be very caring and nice if he feels like it, but then with his companies he just treats workers as a resource pretty much. Kimbal is more normal but then he's been less successful in his ventures

But I'll say they have a very similar way of talking lol. Maybe Elon time is also a result of learning from his dad, Errol will just straight up make up stuff and lie about random things, Elon seems to just channel that into when he says like yeah the cars will be fully self-driving in a year, for six years straight. Probably doesn't believe it himself, but it's basically just a way to make people work faster so that even when it's late, it's still finished faster than with a normal work pace. If everything's going fine, he'll just come up with some nightmare scenario like guys we need to finish these engines in a month or we'll all die

A pack of dolphins see a spacecraft land in the ocean. They wonder what it is, and a human starts explaining it was flown high into the air and even orbited around the world outside the atmosphere. They explain that one day humans hope to colonize other planets and maybe even travel to other solar systems to explore the galaxy. The universe is like an endless vast ocean, and with spacecraft you can float through the harsh vacuum of space to other celestial bodies. Jupiter's moon Europa has massive oceans under its icy surface, hundreds of kilometers deep. Some humans hope to explore these other worlds, such as Mars, Titan, maybe even Venus.

1 million people at 100 people per starship = 10,000 starships over 20 years
that's 500 starships launched per year on average, so more like 1000 per synod

spacex is already doing 100+ launches a year. to reach 500 avg per year they'd need alot more launch pads.

You can also ignore the first few years that can't have any meaningful amount until there's a reasonable chance of surviving a Mars landing. It wouldn't be able to average that many with most happening at the later years. A small delay at the start would push a lot of that number past 20 years.

When Elon says things, he means "if I could just make people work around the clock, nothing ever goes wrong and there were no laws or ethics". He has all these grand idealistic projects like I want to make sure human consciousness doesn't die out, I want to make less traffic accidents with self-driving cars, I want to make sure evil AI doesn't take over so I'm making an AI company, I want to free humans from working so we're making these autonomous robots, but then he treats his employees like absolute dirt.

typical /x/ schizos, too focused on jewish mythology to see even more obvious connections literally right under their noses.
Calypso was a nymph who IMPRISONED Odysseus for seven years. As Shartliner imprisoned the astronaut who named it. An uncanny coincidence? Probably. But what isn't a coincidence is that Suni namd the capsule Calypso, which in the ancient Greek means to conceal or cover up, in response to Boeing being less than forthright about problems during the capsule's development and testing. She named the capsule Calypso as a subtle dig against Boeing, and it turned out to be an even more fitting name than she intended.

I'd argue it really isn't. Mars poses a whole new set of problems (No oxygen, Lack of soil, Radiation, Low gravity, Low temperature) that permanent colonisation efforts on Earth have never had to deal with, pair that with a minimum 2x travel time than even the Jamestown colonists had to do Mars is going to be a research base for a very long time. I'd argue we'd be lucky to have 10's of people on a permanently occupied base by the end of the 2030's.

There would have to be some kind of massive pressure event on earth or a resource boom on mars to be able to draw enough people away from Earth to permanently settle Mars within the century at the same rate we did with the new world back in the 1600's.

okay so you have no source. Not only that, but you also wildly overestimate how much the average normie is interested in space. No, /sfg/ is not a good indicator on the general consensus as much as I'd like that. What many anons here are proposing and foolishly expecting involves abandoning everything on earth possibly forever, which is easy to imagine for the average virgin loner, not so much for a well adjusted(read competent) person. A willing person is unlikely to be capable of any meaningful work at the colony. A capable person is unlikely to want to be willing to leave behind everything he worked towards here on earth. American colonization doesn't work for comparison here, because any retard farmhand could have left, survived and prospered in the new world. So yes, it is difficult to imagine the quota being met.
A martian colony will undoubtedly be contract based, no different than the ISS, except with a longer period obviously.

With shipping people to Mars being as expensive as it is, it behooves you to create as many in situ as humanly possible.
With back-to-back pregnancies every 10.5 months and assuming she hits menopause around age 51, you could get around 43 births per woman.
Statistically some of those will be twins, with the rate generally increasing with age and height/weight. You'd get an average twinning rate of 44.1 per 1000 births. It would be on the low side initially, but as her body fat percentage rose from pregnancy it would even out. With those numbers you'd expect to get 2 sets of twins, but if she has a family history of twins that could rise to around 4-5.
If you gave her certain fertility drugs (specifically gonadotropins), that would increase the chances of multiple birth substantially to 3 in 10, with around 5% of those being triplets or more. In that case, you'd expect 13 sets of twins, with one of them potentially being triplets instead.
So you should have 45 children per woman if you do it naturally, and 57 children if you use fertility drugs.

The 20th SPSS has a robust, in-garrison intelligence section that fuses multi-source data into operations, mission planning, and assessment for benign (e.g. space debris) and hostile targets in support of national security interests."

Ehhh no strategic advantage. It just makes you look like an a-hole; using a nuke to try and be a scary tough guy. Everyone has nukes now.
What WOULD be cool would be doing an orbital assembly with Starship: maybe like 7 starship launches to LEO bringing giant fuckass pieces of Tungsten to orbit. Assemble them into a giant rod of comical size. Then do a full fuel up with a depot and send it to the Sun, as close as you can. Think Parker Solar Probe close. It’s Tungsten, it can survive. Send it around the Sun, have it basically skim the surface, build up insane speed, and slingshot it back into the Moon. It would probably be more powerful than the Tsar Bomba by an entire order of magnitude

The Optimii will be dropped out the the payload bay onto the Martian surface with a hoist of some kind, and a few giant extension cords will also descend.
Starship will deploy its solar panels, the more the better. Without a reactor, power is going to be limited. Maybe some kind of fuel cells will be onboard, who knows. Anyway, those extension cords will be powered up, and its the responsibility of the Optimus to get the fuck back to base and plug its ass in to recharge before it dies. Each robot probably has only solar cells the size of a sheet of paper available for emergencies if it slumps over in a favorable place, it could wake up after some days. But mostly, it will just be a bunch of niggers roaming around within a km or two of the landing site, totally dependent on those power cables

That number will be 1/10th of the expectation, as the complexity and scope of the problem is of equal or likely greater scale than solving Level 5 autonomy. Elon said it would be achieved by 2018 roughly, and in 2025, it's basically a Level 3 system, inkling towards Level 4 and at least another 5 years away from Level 5 to be truly viable at societal scale. A million people by 2060 is more likely.

You need: 273.75kg of O2 per person per year to sustain them.
You then need another: 380.21 kg of Nitrogen and trace gases to support that individual.
You need: 766.5kg of water per person per year to sustain them
You need 2500 calories to sustain an average person on Earth with a moderately intense lifestyle. On Mars, each day will be grueling initially, even with assistance via robotics and machinery, so we'll bump that to 3500. That translates to roughly 1kg of food per person per day or 365kg of food per person per year.
A 5 minute shower that uses an efficient water head will use 9L of water per minute, which translates to 80kg of water per person per day for a shower. So you need 29,200kg of water per person per year.

That comes to: 30,985.46kg of perishables per person per year or 34.16T per person per year. You will need to send on average about 2x that in redundancy to account for injury, sickness, and other factors that makes the body consume much more perishables to recover. So 68.32T per person per year. That basically translates to 1 V1 Starship PER person worth of cargo to Mars for a full year. If you send 100 people to Mars in 2028, you would need to send 10,000 V1 Starships to support them. Each V1 Starship to Mars needs around 8-10 tanker ships of refueling for Mars landing. So you need 80,000-100,000 tankers to orbit to send 100 people to Mars for 1 year.

Which means you need teratons of fuel capacity on Earth to support that per month. No way this happens before 2050 earliest, closer to 2060-2075.

For the first time, they have confirmed the existence of a tunnel in the lunar subsurface, likely an empty lava tube. This significant research, published in Nature Astronomy, is the result of an international collaboration.
>Bruzzone detailed the process: "In 2010, as part of the ongoing LRO NASA mission, the Miniature Radio-Frequency (Mini-RF) instrument acquired data that included a pit in Mare Tranquilitatis. Years later we have reanalyzed these data with complex signal processing techniques we have recently developed, and have discovered radar reflections from the area of the pit that are best explained by an underground cave conduit. This discovery provides the first direct evidence of an accessible lava tube under the surface of the Moon."

You could put the ‘smartest’ animals on the lunar surface with the Earth on the horizon and they’d have no idea what is going on. Only humans have the ability to process the world well beyond immediate sensory inputs, to ask questions and conceptualize complex ideas, to pattern match and to infer patterns.

>“There are five different objects in space maneuvering in and out around each other, in synchronicity and in control. That’s what we call dogfighting in space. They are practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to do on-orbit space operations from one satellite to another,” he explained.
>“Gen. Guetlein referenced Chinese satellite maneuvers observed in space. China conducted a series of proximity operations in 2024 involving three Shiyan-24C experimental satellites and two Chinese experimental space objects, the Shijian-6 05A/B. These maneuvers were observed in low Earth orbit.”
>A representative of Colorado-based space tracking firm LeoLabs confirmed that the company had observed the Chinese demonstration...“The Russians are right in the middle of a three-spacecraft RPO,” the LeoLabs rep added.

I must not fear radiation.
Radiation is the mind-killer.
Radiation is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face the radiation.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the radiation has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
