I'm curently readingRendesvous with Rama. Rama is a tubular space ship that contains a multitude of cubic kilometers of atmoshpere while rotating along it's long- axis providing gravity that way. Now I was wondering if you took a motorized glider or a MMU out and rode exactly at it's centerline, where there's zeroG, how unintuitive would that be, considering that even small errors would increasingly pull you off course?

Also considering if the actual atmosphere was pressed against the walls, there wouldn't even be air resistance along the centerline, comparable with being really high up on earth.
Then I was thinking that the lack of which wouldn't even cause spin on you and that being the thing that causes you to drop opens up a whole range of questions. If there was no air, I asume it would be like entering a Station in Elite Dangerous without spin assist. Let's talk about (fun) side effects of gravity through centrifugal force.

Air has weight. Air pressure is air sitting on air weight. A centrifuge forces air out and a large enough enclosed station will eventually face vacuum in it's center unless you keep increasing the density which is at it's highest at "ground" level. Similar to our atmosphere, anon.

remember: there's no spin gravity in the very center, so any air molecules that end up bouncing up there will stay there and collect as pressure

That's fundamentally false.
The center is infinitely small and surrounded by micro gravity. Consider that the spin motion is continuous and like viscous clutch fluid the air picked up this motion via drag with the surface

If the ship is coasting through space then wouldn't there be microgravity everywhere except on the rotating inner surface? As long as you're flying free and not touching the rotating body of the ship then it seems like you'd have no forces acting on you, even if you're well off the center axis. If you threw something straight up from the "ground" it would still come down though.

If Starship is wildly successful, then what would realistically happen to the old giants of spaceflight who primarily profit off of indefinite development? Would they back out of an industry that they can't compete with? Would the US government bail them out? Would they shift their spaceflight focus to something that SpaceX can't do with Starship?

Man, Elon got pissed when she asked him whether he wanted to pay for employees who decided to self-quarantine.

About the manned spaceflight thing he‘s been way off about that already at last year‘s presentation. I think he expects there to be a point very soon where they can just do daily testflights to iron out everything very quickly. But I doubt it‘ll be that easy. They don‘t even have the infrastructure for that.

I hate "journalists" who can't do the most basic research.

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20170008895
>The most significant improvement, beyond even the improvements of 2-3X times reviewed to here, was in the development of the Falcon 9 launch system, with an estimated improvement at least 4X to perhaps 10X times over traditional cost-plus contracting estimates, about $400 million vs. $4 billion.
Even if falcon 9 has been completely tax payer funded, SpaceX saved ~1.5 billion compared to if other contractors had been building the same vehicle.

Why not? It fills a role in the industry that has been left open for decades and no one else is expecting to meet for years (except maybe Blue Origin's New Glenn depending on its price).
>This is one lone adult man who stands between them and literally tens of billions of dollars of profit per year.
There's also his companies, and various agencies who directly benefit from said companies. SpaceX is also a very public company (in terms of its presentation, not stocks) so any attempt by the US government to suppress it will immediately be noticed by the larger American public, and Americans despise the government directly meddling with companies.

There's a few renderings in here. Pic related reminds me of the positioning of the logo on the Falcon Heavy side boosters, which I'm not really a fan of.
The fairing also has both the meatball and worm both visible at an awkward angle from each other, plus the ESA logo because it's not fully an American rocket.

Right so far, but now fill the body with something that isn't vacuum. For example, make a banana-cherry juice the right way, Then spin the glass on that one axis where it doesn't make a huge mess and you will see the juice starting to slowly rotate as well. That's because of friction. Now even if your station is a bland empty shell, the air will start to press against the outer hull and spin with the structure.

BWXT, another private company, is already building a nuclear thermal rocket for NASA, a NERVA/Timberwind successor. The problem is not whether or not it will allow a company to develop nuclear technology (it will), but simply that the government makes developing nuclear technology such a slog that most companies who could do it don't do it, or do it so slowly that entire human lifetimes have passed by nuclear technology which could have been developed to maturity in ten years.

I'm sure it will, but more progress into space will be made with conventional bipropellant rockets by the time it comes to fruition. This has been the most glaring flaw of nuclear technology, even with mature designs filing the necessary paperwork, jumping through the necessary hoops, obtaining the necessary nuclear material, and painstakingly constructing nuclear fuel all while adhering to multiple thousands of pages of regulations takes so much time that cruder, less efficient technologies will leap ahead in practical application.
It's the same reason why Nuclear makes up only about 20% of the US power grid and hasn't moved from that point in decades.

Cowardice and excessive timidity have caused it to become a stagnant technology. I think at this point we might just leap straight past it to reactor powered magnetoplasma drives without a nuclear thermal rocket ever becoming relevant on the large scale.

I felt the same way the first time I ever tried using BDB but it would turn out that I was actually doing some different designs but they still looked "real" compared to stock rockets.

I think my biggest issue with JNSQ these days is that playing with unlimited engine restarts feels kinda cheaty but I can't help myself when I reach orbit with some extra delta V and it's time to start my departure burn...

Well you wouldn't use oxygen at all in a nuclear thermal rocket except as an afterburner if you needed more TWR, but yes you could run liquid methane through a nuclear cermet fuel without worrying about deposits so long as the methane is very pure.
In some ways it might even be better than hydrogen because it doesn't behave as much like a corrosive in super high temperature environments, and the primary issue with LH2 NTPRs is that hydrogen behaves in a corrosive manner at very high temperatures and pressures, causing nuclear fuel to become brittle and either dissolve slowly thus contaminating the exhaust or to crack, damaging the reactor.

OTOH it doesn't make much sense to be limited in engine restarts by what real engines had when you're designing a rocket "from scratch". It's a limitation of KSP as a snappy block building style platform. There's no technical reason you can't throw development money at unlimited restarts for an engine if that's what you need for your booster. I haven't played with procedural engines, maybe that changes it.

Well, if you don't care about reusing your launch pad or the vehicle, and don't care about irradiating your launch side or payload, and there's nothing else the rocket is pointed at that you care about you could do that.
It would be fun but not practical for valuable payloads, living payloads, or anything you want to launch more than a single time.
>>12178873
Not so long as you have some time on your hands to sit around and wait for it to get done, and so long as you can manage your heat. It's a pretty common idea that you could use a hydrogen NTPR to get to one of the water rich worlds in the solar system, land it, excavate and process ice into fresh hydrogen and oxygen and continue on so long as your other supplies hold out.

Yeah SPE lets you do variants with more ignitions/burn time.

You do make a good point that in the long run it's not that hard to relight an engine but when you're doing early game in a career mode it still gives you unrealistic abilities. They would have loved to have a restartable AJ-10 from day 1 but AFAIK they couldn't implement that until transtage.

Early career I can see the argument, but surely if you feel your program *needs* restartable engines as an early priority that's a path you should be able to explore, even if it means compromising other development (ie, your motors are restartable, but you pretty much only have pressure fed engines)

I don't think KSP is really designed for that level of granular development tradeoff in the tech system

If you're using hydrogen your TWR is shit but your Isp is high. Inject a bit of oxygen just past the reactor outlet and your Isp drops but your thrust goes up. Great for doing shit like launching from Callisto, transferring to Ganymede, and landing there all in one stage; you'd use the oxygen afterburner while launching and landing.

Now there's no clear mandates yet, but I strongly suspect he'll support the Detroit auto companies (GM/Ford/Chevy) to boost EV, at the expense of Tesla.

If Hillary won in 2016 maybe she would've fucked with it, but with all the gigafactories they're building, and possibly dozens to come within the next few decades, I think they've past the point of no return, and unless the old car companies start hauling ass and making big changes in their cars, there won't be much Biden could really do to fuck with them. As far as starlink, just from the beta tests alone it's clear how beneficial it will be, no one's gonna mess with it.

It was a lot more, from 5000 unique components in F1 to around 50 in the F1b. Not only that but the F1b was computer designed with computer optimized tolerances and significant simplifications in plumbing without significant losses in ISP. There would have been almost no need for humans to spend extra man hours checking it's fittings after initial assembly whereas the original F1 demanded up to 500 man hours of careful tuning and testing by hand before it was ready to fire. It would have been much cheaper to manufacture and easier to refurbish if desired.

This is what they took from you, it is worse than the SSME - it is may Allah forgive me for uttering the name - a Solid Rocket Booster.

Okay, but today Merlin 1D exists and F-1B doesn't, so if they ever open up the possibility of liquid fueled boosters for SLS Block 2 again, why would they pick F-1B instead? I'm not saying I think SLS Block 2 is gonna happen of course, that shit is at unbelievable levels of not happening.

What will be like the most kino realistic re-entry we can realistically expect? I mean atmospheric clouds, super dense asteroid fields, steep styler dive angles and dodgy super late pullups. Mars is cool because of the setting and you come in so fast and the atmo is so thing that you have to steer into the planet to not exit, I think Venus would also be rad because of the clouds, but I kind of hope we go... to some really dense asteroid fields or blow something up HARD, soon. Would be pretty neat to just hammer it through the remnants of a moon or something.

At least on my PC, CoaDE chugs to a crawl and crashes whenever there's too much shit going on – which is a problem, because it means missile swarms crash the game. Also, missile guidance is shit, don't expect to get missile based interceptors to work. And once you launch your 64 ASATs against the 32 incoming missiles and your railguns start spewing thousands of rounds per minute, the game will crash

also it's gonna fly off and crash somewhere, you need to either twist the fins a bit so it spins up immediately when the booster fires or use some separatrons on the booster to spin it up or download that mod that lets you do proper launch rails like they use IRL but thats a pain in the ass

actually, my recommendation would be to twist the fins a decent amount but put them on the booster instead of the main rocket
that way you get enough spin immediately to stabilize it throughout the flight, but you have less drag and less breaking KSP when its spinning at 9999999999999rpm halfway through the flight

Think about it....Elon and SpaceX can't get nuclear material due to regulations. Instead, Tesla Energy and SpaceX jointly develop compact fusion.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and Elon has the talent to do it. This may be a decade before they even start seriously working on something like this, but by then viability of fusion will have been proven by startups.

The problem with them is that they are all fucking huge and with limited ignitions and way overkill for my target of delivering ~1t crates to the surface for rovers and shit, especially since I have to use at least two engines because they have to be offset so I can drop the crate on the ground and tell the lander to fuck off somewhere else

>>12180374
mechjeb has a landing autopilot, but it's really bad compared to TCA which can do a whole lot more besides landing too
the problem with no throttling isn't so much timing the suicide burn, but that I can't use TCA to adjust thrust independently to provide attitude control and I don't have any gimbals either so everything has to be done by shitty RCS that takes forever to respond
