Out of curiosity I asked the labpadre stream what they thought of von braun. Wanted to test the waters y'know? They had nothing but good things to say. Called him a visionary and a legend. They said a starship should be named in his honor. Not the answer I was expecting (from them), but they were all correct

Dude no we didn’t. We have self landing rockets and within five years we’ll have a fully reusable vehicle that is almost a thousand times cheaper than the Saturn V while putting more into orbit than it. I hate this stupid mindset. If we went to mars like von Braun wanted with those big expendable rockets, we’d go for like three missions in the 80s, then some president would cut the funding and we’d be back to square one with the shuttle.

Elon will IPO Starlink and it will get some ridiculously fucking parabolic valuation like Tesla, into the hundreds of billions, and then Musk will exercise stock options on Tesla and Starlink for at least 100 billion. And Musk cultists won't even be mad, because that's the Mars money.

I mean that's his plan isn't it? All the tesla followers expect him to sell his shares and get rich out the wazoo and use it to move to Mars. Sounds so fucking unreal but it is definitely going to happen. And do think he wanted to originally do it in a Red Dragon... Starship is way better and I'm glad he's going with it

That would be a bad way to do it. Better to keep Starlink in SpaceX and both private so Starlink can generate the billions year over year to fund Mars. An IPO would create a lot of cash quickly, but Mars doesn't need quick cash, it needs consistent cash, and retarded stockholders are too likely to kill the golden goose in pursuit of short term gains.

If Elon keeps his word it's possible to do a direct listing, and have a generous options plan for Elon like he has for Tesla. It'll get shorted into the ground initially by the same people who consistently short Tesla, and will pop really hard because Starlink is going to be a money printer.

Engine shits lithium covered pellets of deuterium out the back of the rocket. Magnetic fields compress the pellet hard enough to force fusion. The magnetic fields reflect the part of the explosion aimed at them (most of it) away from the rocket and you get thrust. Since the pressure is being applied to deuterium by solid metal instead of magnets or lasers it should be much easier to get working, and there's no need for a Q>1 fusion powerplant to make it work either. It's basically the sounding rocket of interplanetary fusion ships.

This is what pisses me off about fusion propulsion research. People seem to keep waiting for reliable net positive power to treat it as a real possibility, when you don’t need anything close to that kind of efficiency to produce stupid amounts of thrust at a high specific impulse.

Could you not use a high-power fission reactor to provide the electricity necessary for initiating fusion? That’s bound to be more efficient than using that same fission reactor to simply heat hydrogen in a more traditional nuclear thermal setup.

There’s like 100 of those people in the replies of every single one of Elon’s tweets. Sometimes it’s kinda cute, because the author is clearly just a young kid that’s inspired by his work, but it’s kinda depressing when you realize some of them are posted by 40-something men who should know better.

Airbus entered in the 1970s and didn't overtake Boeing until the turn of the century.
Further. it's not the best result - no. But welcome to America where, culturally, we all believe the best should win.
Boeing needs to restructure itself to remain competitive or they'll fall out like Convair and North American.

Then again, both Airbus and Boeing are receiving illegal support from governments.

Industries with high entry costs and heavy reliance on intellectual capital (like aerospace) have increasing returns to scale. When you have two competing economies with more-or-less evenly matched talent and infrastructure bases the natural result is going to be one country's industry failing in the absence of government intervention.

US aerospace managed to dominate without gibs in the early days just because it was so far ahead of everyone else after 1945.

EU governments got together and specifically formed Airbus to force their way back into the Airline market and break the monopoly. You better believe the airliner industry is just one massive cesspool of subsidies and bribes.

i had a question about starship booster. What element do we have now prevent the problems that occurred on the N-1 from repeating ? If i remember correctly the great flaw of the N-1 was its multiple engine on first stage that failed because engines interaction, and the booster have quite a lot of engines too.

What advance make failure like this less worrying ? maybe computers ? i heard the N-1 had a faulty computer which caused lots of failures

I'm probably not going to like anyone in the dear moon project but it's not really out of jealousy. I don't even like the project outside the concept of sending a spacecraft around the moon, the inspiration the artists gain from it is worth fuck all and it's a meme.

Soviet computer technology was lacking even for the time, and they didn't have a way to test complete stages before launch. SpaceX has both much better computers and can test states. Also, they've launched rockets with many engines before.

Why can't you concede on this single thing that having people live in 1g environments as close to natural life on Earth is better for their health and necessary for multi-generational living in space without crippling defects?
SpaceX is indisputably better in every single metric, why do you insist that they have to be right about every single thing as well? Has Starship gone to orbit yet? No, because we all know that Elon is overly ambitious with his time-frames. Is Starship exactly the same as what was initially unveiled? No, because Elon realized that wasn't going to work for what he needed. Will 1g space habitats holding sizable numbers of people come long after colonies are on Mars and likely other celestial bodies? Yes, because they will require significant space infrastructure to construct.

Thankfully these people will NOT be the first space tourists. We have already had billionaires and such launch themselves to the ISS. And hopefully Tom Cruise goes to the space station before Dearmoon happens. That way all the weirdos will have made it to space and will lessen the "historical" impact of having youtube fags go around the Moon.

But sending someone like Mrbeast will expose a LOT of people, who really are just normies, and suddenly they will think space is badass. It will shift a lot of people into supporting the Moon and they will probably do a deepdive and learn about how we could have Mars colonies and whatnot

I think you guys are vastly over-estimating the impact such a thing will have on zoomers. Disregarding that cool shit like the Falcon Heavy launch already gathers millions of views and gets millennials and zoomers excited, the biggest take-away of this for them will be that MrBeast is cool, not space.

I don't know, I think the thing that bugs me most about it is that it's something he was just invited to do because he's popular at the moment. All the previous space tourists all went out of their own way to get there and clearly have a lot of passion for space exploration. Anyways I'll gonna try let it go for now and just hope that the guest list for dearmoon is altered by the time it launches.

But we will have to watch Yusaku go with a bunch of cringe people who probably know nothing about Musk other than what they see in memes. Just gotta cope bro.

Ok so I did some math and I found that if you take the SLS core and put 3 RS-68s from the Delta IV, and give it a balloon upper stage like a fat Centaur, you can put 41 tons into a Trans Lunar Injection.

Why is this important? It means that we could’ve made SLS without needing those 4 expensive SSMEs and instead used the RS-68s. SSMEs are $240 million for the full set (or were in 2010), while RS-68s would cost $60 million for 3. We could’ve had 2 or 3 or 4 of these vehicles flying per year goddamnit

The vehicle still uses the 5 segment boosters. The core is also the same except it has 3 RS-68s, which are twice as heavy as the SSME and have 10% lower isp (410 vs 452). They are shittier, but a lot cheaper.

The upper stage is cool though. It is a balloon tank with a mass fraction of 0.93458 without the engines, which is similar to the S-II stage in the Saturn V (and that wasn’t even a balloon stage). The upper stage can either use 6 RL10Bs, or a single J-2X. The J-2X is cheaper but needs more development cost.

Let's change to some methalox engine so we get more thrust. And while we are at it let's make the first stage reusable with propulsive landing. Idk, rate my design

We stick one each into a dragon and send them to mars.

That‘s certainly one way to say: it shuts down all engines as soon as one fails in a collossal software fuckup, leading to the largest non-nuclear explosion ever caused by man.

Oh, but I forgot. They fixed it. They added a timer that guaranteed that it would shut off all the engines slightly less prematurely in the flight so it would only ruin the mission and not the launchpad.

Honestly I feel like I would be such a good martian explorer. I'm a geology major and I fluctuate between staying in my one bedroom apartment for weeks at a time to going camping and rock climbing with my geobuddies for a week. I work well with groups but can literally confine myself in a tiny ass space for long periods as long as I have work or something to occupy my mind. I could live the rest of my days on Mars with no human interaction and function just fine. The hardest part of Mars missions early on will be dealing with the psychology of being so damn far

Its a side mount carrier so it has a lot of dead weight and higher per unit costs. It’s payload are also volume limited. During constellation, it was also shit on for throwing away 3 SSMEs per flight while being able to put like 70 tons into LEO.

However...it was probably the right choice. It requires zero redesign of the tank, which is/was the main problem of the SLS. It also uses less SSMEs than the SLS does. In a report it was shown that 2 of them (with an upper stage) could do a 4-man lunar sortie with Orion.

Pros:
>Cheap as shit to develop
>Does not need a redesign of any tanks at all
>Reuses like 95% of the shuttle infrastructure
>Short development time. If development started in 2011, it was estimated to start flying in 2014.
>Can carry out a lunar sortie in 2 launches

Cons
>Throw away 3 SSMEs on every flight
>Giant cargo carrier is very heavy and has a huge mass penalty
>giant cargo carrier is also very expensive and probably will make the thing cost more than an in-line launcher per flight
>Payloads are volume limited to 7.6 meters. Mars missions would be tricky.
>Crew capsule is put right next to the orange tank, and if the tank explodes they fly through the boom.
>Requires the development of the J-2X engine for lunar missions, which adds more to development cost.
>Even adding a fifth segment to the boosters, and up rating the SSME thrust, the thing can put like 80 tons into orbit max.

That's primarily because Russia is poor and needs all the functional airframes they can get. Every first world air force switched from dedicated interceptors to multi-role and air superiority fighters back in the 80s for a good reason.

Well it needs to go in the payload bay, but you could do this anyway because the Starship tank "tooling" is basically just a sheet steel bender. You'd want some kind of foam for the outermost hull gap so that a micrometeor doesn't immediately space all your water supply/shielding.

We're talking about Canada right now. Still flying OG F-18s because we can't even afford Super Hornets Canada. The Arrow would absolutely still be chugging along with half a dozen LEPs if we had adopted it. It would have ended up dragooned into a multi role and weighed down with a bajillion drop tanks, and Canadians would be proud of it anyways.

...which would've been even worse than the legacy hornets they currently use. The Hornet platform has an established ecosystem with a number of costumers to keep costs down. Canada would be the only Arrow operator, meaning any upgrades would be comparatively expensive. It sucks that Canada's aerospace industry effectively died when the program was cancelled, but that doesn't mean the Arrow would've been worth keeping.

>No fewer than fifty engineers and scientists would fly to the moon aboard three spacecraft assembled in earth orbit. At 3964 metric tons each, one of these spacecraft alone, already in earth orbit, had the same mass as the Saturn V used 16 years later to launch the actual first lunar voyage from the earth's surface. Two of the lunar landers would house 20 crew, and one 10 crew plus 259 metric tons of cargo for lunar exploration. The cargo lander would be left on the lunar surface; the crew would return in two of the landers, 25 men per spacecraft.

because it's a lot simpler mechanically so dust and cooling isn't as much of a worry, you don't have to worry about casings flying around and potentially causing some kind of problem, and the design can easily be operating in big huge clumsy space suit
if you have experience with the lunar environment and figure out how well regular guns work and any adaptations you might need to make then yeah you can probably do way better, but this was just guessing at how to make something that should work reliably on the first go even in uncertain conditions

He only became reddit incarnate due to reddit latching on to him. And if we're going by that logic then supporting spacex is the most reddit thing you can do considering the cult around elon on most space subreddits

Ron Paul /b/ was my first introduction to the 4chan filter, and puddi was a long lasting meme, but never heard of the other two.
So clearly I'm a newfag. Too bad that I didn't think to keep image numbers before 2008. Some of them were from 2chan though.

I was only nine years old. I loved space so much, I had all the merchandise and movies. I'd pray to space every night before I go to bed, thanking for the life I've been given. "Space is love", I would say, "Boeing is shit". My dad hears me and calls me an Elon simp. I knew he was just jealous for my devotion of space. I called him an oldspace fag. He slaps me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel something touch me. It's Big Jim Bridenstine. I'm so happy. He whispers in my ear, "Do the Dew". He grabs me with his powerful administrator hands, and puts me on my hands and knees. I spread my ass-cheeks for Jim. He penetrates my butthole. It hurts so much, but I do it for Jim. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Jim. He roars a mighty roar, as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Jim looks him straight in the eye, and says, "Moon by 2024". Jim leaves through my window. Space is love. Space is life.
