yeah the whole trick behind Astra is that you can fit the GSE in one shipping container and the full rocket in another. Payload gets slapped in, you go vertical, launch, ezpz.

I like to imagine that when our boys Bob and Doug strapped in to come home, Gary hopped into his replica Dragon simulator inside his house to start running through scenarios, just in case. His wife, standing timidly in the hallway, calls out "Gary, dinner's waiting..."
Gary stops midway through the sequence, furrows his brow, and takes a deep breath. "Moira, right now there's two American heroes about to make the long journey back home to Earth. A million things could go wrong, and that means I've got a million things to plan for down here. They don't get to have dinner up there tonight, so that means I don't get to have dinner down here."
It's a speech she's heard countless times, and it's a scenario she's lived through every Shuttle launch. She bows her head, resigned, and walks back towards the kitchen.

What could Elon solve that a structural/engineering group couldn't? If the goal is fully securing the border, the issue is not the engineering, it's the funding and politics that are the real challenges. There have been hundreds of proposals for various projects to address this but none are approved.

Nah, having the freedom to do dumb shit is what this country was founded on. Plus, it landed in international waters, so it's not like they could do a lot to get them to leave. The Coast Guard basically just recommended people avoid the area.

Let's say that in the future, after 25 successful crewed missions to the ISS, the 26th mission goes horribly wrong and a couple of astronauts die. Would that be the end of crewed missions to the ISS for Spacex or could they continue after a thorough investigation?

Presumably they’d follow the same process that occurred after Apollo 1 and the shuttles. Politically, things might be more contentious due to the fact that they’re a private entity with enemies in the aerospace establishment, but there’s no reason to believe the fundamental process would be any different.

Theoretically, but boat ownership in Florida is kind of exclusive to middle class boomers who aren’t exactly in the kind of demographic to do that sort of thing. They’ll probably have some kind of security for the next one, though.

They cant do that. What those boaters did was not illegal, reckless yes but not illegal.

Next time, just have some Coast Guard boats, circle around the splashzone to create a visual and physical barrier between the boaters and the capsule. This will make it clear what distance is safe and still allows for spectators to behold it all.

In the end the smart thing to do would just be to disclaim that as long as boaters do not interfere with capsule recovery they are free to show up and watch, but if the capsule explodes and any spectator gets filled with shrapnel or poisoned by hypergols SpaceX, NASA, the state or federal government, insurance companies, etc are not going to be liable to compensate them anything. If they or their boat is damaged in any way due to an issue with the capsule, they'll be paying for it out of pocket.

I don't know for sure and I don't have the time to check but make sure that the CO2 isn't going to dissolve in either your propellant or oxidizer. Pressure fed systems are well tested and proven to work, they are good when mechanical simplicity is needed but hinder your rocket's delta-V due to the excess wet and dry masses which don't directly contribute to propulsion.

The Skylon concept made sense back in the 1980s when it was called HOTOL and the idea of having enough processing power and materials science to make an orbital-class vehicle land vertically like a harrier was absolute science fiction, so that spaceplanes were the name of the game when it came to reusability.

That was 35 years ago, though, and spaceplanes should have been eliminated from consideration as anything other than crew lifeboats from the very moment that the DC-X first flew.

An aerospace agency ultimately. Its goals are mishandled by politics, but it still tries to be a space agency.

>I will keep an eye on SLS only because the money seems to be there to produce it. So why not make the best thing possible, or at least watch it.
That's not how NASA funding works. It doesn't get a lump sum of money to do whatever. Each dollar is assigned to a project to be spent in a set way. Cutting SLS and redirecting the money is impossible, because canceling SLS would just take away the money being spent on it. It doesn't justify the misuse of funds on Congress' behalf but it explains why NASA is so constrained.

the boaters were kept at bay while falling. it was only after landing that they zoomed up to it. you can't have boaters accidentally ramming the capsule, or getting exposed to toxic fumes if there is a significant leak. Once ground landings happen though it won't be a problem as it's no longer international waters and they can land behind fences

Territorial marking was out to 12 miles in this particular case. The capsule splashed down well outside the territorial boundary. As such, the coastguard had no jurisdiction to do anything. The boats DID move tens of meters back from the capsule once the coastguard cutter arrived and told them to move back.

It's an enormous power hog. You need a 200MW nuclear reactor to make it work, and at that point you can skip the VASIMR entirely and use fission fragment for thrust plus MHD power generation.
>EMDrive is impossible no? Or am I retarded? I thought reactionless drives are impossible.
There's a new model where the conserved value is matter+energy+information and information is not constant between reference frames so you can cheat a bit. Current best results are 0.1N/kW but the researchers are filing a patent before publishing. This already makes it better than ion drives including VASIMR if the results can be replicated and verified.

So V*rgin Galactic just unveiled their render of a supersonic commercial jet. My first thought is that it's either never going to get built or it's a decade away, but even if they build it I'm struggling to see how it can be profitable with such high costs per seat.

It has capacity for 9 to 19 people, the Concorde could fit 92 to 128 people. It's faster than the Concorde but that also means it's going to be louder so there's going to be even more outrage when it flies over land. This screams investor fodder, Branson has already started selling his SPCE shares to fund other parts of Virgin.

While alot of the principle technologies that went into the Falcon 9 have been around for some time, the iteration used on the Falcon are much more modern. Such as advanced computing processes, streamlined manufacturing processes, and added resilience. Also, retropropulsively landing boosters was something no one else has done before. The closest example was the DC-X, but that was meant to be an SSTO rather than a booster. The Falcon 9's style of recovery is fairly novel and it surprised even NASA who thought that such a design wasn't worth doing.

>Not moving back in time
The Falcon 9 is among the most advanced rockets flying right now, and is the newest among those advanced rockets.

Unless they can produce a supersonic commercial jet for a fraction of the price of a Concorde, I don't see it happening. Fuel costs have come up since the already high prices in the 1970s but if we assume they had the same expense on the same routes and just look at the seat capacity, the Virgin jet would have to charge almost 7 times more per seat at full capacity.

The average round-trip price for Concorde was $12,000. At 7 times more per seat, Virgin would be charging around $84,000. At that price, it's a very small market they're appealing to and being able to fly somewhere in a short period of time matters less today because all the work and meetings that can be done online. There will be more public outrage with noise concerns because there's no illusion the average member public will eventually be able to fly on it. They could be stuck trying to do overseas commuter flights in a decreasingly small market.

To be fair, Concorde more or less had a per-airframe cost that was on par with the B-2. That sort of ambitiousness in on aircraft design is really only feasible with state-level sponsorship (and state-sponsored carriers to buy it), good luck getting private investors behind you once you tell them that your Concorde successor is going to take $20bn to develop and will cost $700m per airframe.

Unironically our best bet for a true Concorde successor is probably the Chinese, if they ever learn how to build a decent afterburning turbofan, that is.

The math for profitability is a little more complicated than that, because you're bound by the time it takes to make each trip as well as the cost per seat. If you can make more trips per day, the per-seat margins don't need to be as great to amortize the cost of the airframe (or spaceframe) in the same time period.

Bloody unlikely. Their latest greatest domestic plane is leftovers from cheap 60s/70s US planes with some modifications to the wings and they still had to import US turbofans to get it flying.
And I don't think the US is planning on selling them a lot of shit these days.

I agree, it's very hard to approximate the price difference, but I don't think we should assume that the Virgin jet will be popular enough to keep it flying that often with extremely high seat prices when the Concorde had only twice daily overseas flights at it's peak.

We could look at fuel costs which is the biggest expense in the airline industry. A 737-900 gets nearly 99 passenger miles per gallon, the Concorde had 15.8. It would be harder to operate the Concorde today because they were only competing against jets that had half the PMG of the 737. If the Virgin jet is twice as efficient as the Concorde, it would still only be 4.5 PMG, 22 times more expensive than the 737. This is why super sonic commercial flights will never have mass appeal until they get their fuel costs down.

Definitely sprayed something out of that engine at high pressure, probably didn't get to the point of opening the liquid propellant valves however. My guess is that the gas pressurant valves opened and turbopump spin-up was starting when the engine computer saw some values go out of the safe operating margin, so immediately switch to abort closeout sequence.

With the window cracked, so it's chilly and we have to cuddle closer. No talking, just the muffled cries that you slowly let seep away from your blood gurgling mouth as I slit your throat and sacrifice your worthless life to Elon Musk.

Yeah. Not necessarily spearheading it, but definitely bringing up its importance to Trump. What's funny is: when Bridenstine took the office he didn't believe in climate change. I think the job gave him a new perspective of the planet and he doesn't want to see Republicans try to cancel all climate science. I think at first he was a staunch republican... but since then has transitioned to this middle man (which is the best thing NASA could have)
