Not trying to sway too far off topic here but it'll be orc warfare no matter what. Don't get your expectations up.
Yuzhmash got shot up by a psycho and then got mortared by russia and now anyone who gives a shit about space engineering has long since fled. For like the last 10 years all the engineers at yuhmash were surviving on bortsch on their mother's basements barely making any money at all. They're not doing shit these days. Who knows what they are up to now. 100% not military operations though, I guarantee you and would bet money on it

They said they expected the rocket to explode a few weeks ago, it's the point of iterative testing:
>The possibility of the rocket reaching orbit on its first complete test flight is largely ruled out. "The rocket may explode, that is even likely during the test flight," says a spokesperson. "Every second we fly is good, because it allows us to gather data and experience. 30 seconds would already be a great success. In fact, no company has yet managed to put the first rocket into orbit."
>If the test flight goes well, it could go ahead relatively quickly. Rockets two and three are already in production, according to the spokesperson. "How quickly they will be on the launchpad also depends on the results of the first test flight - and whether only software or hardware adjustments need to be made. In any case, our goal is to be back on the launchpad as quickly as possible."

it flew like it lacked thrust. Look how long it sat on the pad at engine startup, and then all the debris flying all over the place. The engines likely got fucked and it sputtered its way off the pad, only to fall over as the thrust started getting lower and lower

Not sure, I think you can definitely see the engines gimbal pitch but then it got too much in that direction, they try to autocorrect but it swings in the other direction too much again and loses control.

All of the hardware survived, just in a very disassembled and submerged state. If Isar can't get back better than 95% of the rocket I'd be very surprised.

Again, according to the WSJ, who are retarded propagandists writing for an even more retarded audience. Government finance does not work that way. Congress expressly approved funding to pay for SLS, and only to pay for SLS. NASA and the White House have some authority when it comes to canceling SLS, since it's a program run by people employed by the executive branch, but they can't just take money earmarked for something and then spend it on something else. If NASA cans SLS they don't magically free up billions of dollars for other programs. The money just vanishes back into the aether that the Great Money Printer was planning to pull it out of. There aren't enough unnamed and possibly fictional OMB officials to change that.

It is at NASA, though, where Musk is making the biggest shift in an agency’s priorities to align them with his own—both financially and personally.
He is working to recast its programs, reallocate federal spending and install loyalists to aid his decadeslong goal of sending people to Mars.
He has also worked to win backing from Trump by telling the president that getting people to Mars would shine his legacy as a “president of firsts,” according to people briefed on the conversations.
SpaceX officials have told people outside the company in recent weeks that NASA’s resources will be reallocated toward Mars efforts.
Inside SpaceX, employees have been told to prioritize Mars-related work on its deep-space rocket over NASA’s moon program when those efforts conflict.
A longtime SpaceX executive recently moved to NASA to shadow the agency’s acting administrator ahead of Isaacman’s confirmation. He’s in position to monitor the highest levels of decision-making, and is known to some as “Elon’s conduit,” people familiar with the arrangement said.

I don't know if that's so smart. What you learn on the Moon is much more applicable on other bodies of our Solar System, Mars is much more unique. Also iterative design is much faster on the Moon, you can test what you send on the Moon in a few weeks, while on Mars it takes you nearly a year. I think if SpaceX want's to go to Mars and colonize it there is no issue with it but I don't think NASA should go full Mars and neglect the Moon.

Maybe in delta-v but not in time, and bringing humans to Mars is a much bigger endeavour, the life support system weights more, there are much stricter and extensive safety checks because it takes many months to go to Mars and mission aborts are much harder. Imagine you want to code a program and instead of 2 weeks compiling you need 9 months compiling, it would take you much longer to finish your program because you iterate much slower.

If bezos were 2000 IQ (he isnt) he would be meeting with musk and planning a new mars initiative in which SX and BO both make lucrative cash, and shit actually gets done. They could come up with a sustainable way to cancel ISS and Artemis and rework it so that the USA could stake out lunar south pole territory before the chinks, and move on to Mars. But alas, Bezos is a fucking idiot and Musk is going to go around slashing what he wants, haphazardly keeping just enough bullshit on artemis alive to appease the jobs, and sit on starlink starship for a long time. We are getting the shittiest outcome and I dont really blame Elon—he's just playing the game right now. I blame Bezos for being retarded lol

But I also think his success with Amazon simply isnt translating to space. Hes a fucking retard who doesnt know what hes doing. In fact, I'd be so bold as to say he has NO IDEA why Bob Smith sucked. He simply let him go because things weren't getting done, but I wholeheartedly believe Bezos has zero (0) idea why that was. Bezos is dumb.
Musk literally had lunch with him a decade ago and told him, step by step, how to lay out his company. Bezos ignored him obviously

GaiaNIR also wasn't officially selected yet, as it is only a backup proposal for an exoplanet imaging mission called LIFE. ESA will decide if the technology is ready for LIFE. It's difficult to sell a mission when a lot of it is more of the same, it has to complete the dozens of astronomy and planetary missions submitted.
For a lot of Gaia's measurements it is better to have a significant gap between missions. For measuring the proper motion of stars, it's small over 5 years but much easier to measure over 30 years. The main problem with GaiaNIR is that the infrared detectors don't exist yet. Gaia uses time delay integration with CCDs, and current infrared detectors don't work that way. Still doing better than NASAs last astrometry mission, which was cancelled after blowing about a billion.

Musk isn’t a newton or an einstein, he’s an opportunist. So was von Braun. It’s what makes them successful. So yes, it’s annoying that Musk surrounds himself with the grotesque specimen that is ian miles chingchong—but it’s also what helps him find the right people to make a super heavy lift rocket. It’s the law of equivalent exchange.

For poor ass indians and malaysian grifters with an internet connection who can convince idiots to donate, engage, subscribe to patreon, etc.? This amount of money is life changing.

I'm not overly worried by that last part, humanoid robotics and AI are quickly replacing a lot of the types of services currently outsourced to India, to the point that the indian service industry is already forecasted to collapse if current employment trends continue. India has become more agrarian due to automation replacing outsourcing to india. Doubly so for anyone getting more pay by being in the US.

Something smarter would've been to gradually expand military presence and basing, with the excuse of protecting the Arctic from Russian influence, etc, their current moves reek of desperation and force that just gets the opposite reaction from Greenlanders and strengthens their opposition, erodes good-will, and the final humiliation will be when Greenland approves a Chinese mine or port to set up shop there like they've been desperately trying to do for years now

>We’ve submitted our final report and fulfilled our obligations to the FAA regarding the NG-1 mission booster landing attempt. New Glenn launched successfully on January 16, achieving our goal to reach orbit and deploy Blue Ring. Our ambitious attempt to land the booster, "So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance," was unsuccessful due to our three BE-4 engines not re-igniting properly. Our review confirmed that all debris landed in our designated hazard area with no threat to public safety. The report identified seven corrective actions, focusing on propellant management and engine bleed control improvements, which we’re already addressing. We expect to return to flight in late spring and will attempt to land the booster again.

They fixed the source of the initial resonance, but then they extended the size of the ship, and basically invalided their fixes. This exact problem will inevitably crop up on the V3 Starship too unless they figure out a ship length agnostic solution. Otherwise, the infamous "Flight, we're getting a shimmy" will keep repeating.

Messing directly with space hardware is a pandora's box that nobody wants to open. USA and Japan signed under a joint clause that should any of their satellites be intentionally harmed, it is a) considered a direct act of war, and b) that one of us will immediately go to bat for the other and declare war on whoever messed with the shit in space. It isn't taken lightly

You could've fit way more in the cargo bay.
While the space shuttle was a real piece of shit, I have to give it credit for normalizing bringing ~7 astronauts at a time to LEO. It's basically what gave us routine space travel. Yes the soyuz exists but without shuttle there would have been no progress beyond shitty mold-infested salyut stations that get re-manned like once or twice a year. Shuttle gave us shorts and t-shirt environments and launching casual people like teachers and "payload specialists" into space
