What's your take on the best bang for buck low tech terraforming method for Mars? Here is mine

>Use big mirrors/lenses to heat ice caps and bring the whole planet up to a reasonable temperature
>Forget trying to electrolyse water for oxygen/Hydrogen, not enough of it and a waste of water anyway
>Use giant fucking lense to btfo molten rock/regolith canals to release enough stored CO2 to bring it up to a passable atmospheric density

Yeah its not breathable but you can walk around without a suit, just an O2 bottle for minimal effort. I guess the next step would be seeing if there is enough ice asteroids that could be put on Mars intercept with minimal dV to give you a water cycle.

Funny you should mention that, but when the stock market dropped back in march from the shutdown, I started buying up stock from lots of places.
Boeing stock went from $300+ to about $100 a share at the end of March. Its over $200 a share now.
I hate Boeing, but I'm OK with them making me rich.

I like it. But at the same time it's missing a kind of "x-factor" that really good channels have. Something to set it apart. But I'm sure he'll find it in due time. That's the kind of thing that you develop through experience, incremental improvement, and non-trivial expenditure.

This is cool. Simulated telemetry for SN8. According to this the Raptors were indeed heavily throttled. In addition, SN8's terminal velocity was something around 70m/s, whereas Falcon 9's is around 260m/s before the landing burn. Some have put SN8's terminal velocity at a lower bound: https://imgur.com/a/a4n5H7v

What does /sfg/ think about Maxar?

I'm not too interested in the imagery side of their business, although I see it growing as imagery constellations enable near constant surveillance of the earth's surface and it creates a lot of useful data to analyze and sell. I'm more interested on if they can take advantage of Starship greatly lowing launch prices and become a dominate smallsat manufacturer. I understand their GEO satellite business is struggling but that's a very competitive sector.

Retail investors in this space don't have a lot of options besides the old space companies. Maxar is more of a pure play but still pretty much old space. Beyond that as far as I know there's just Momentus Space, a bunch of communication satellite companies which I'm not interested in, and LMAO Virgin Galactic.

Header tank. Because when landing, the fuel in the main tanks is sloshing around and not where it can be drained down into the engine by piping. Header tanks are reserved for landing only.

Thanks bros, I just started experimenting with going off script on the virgin galactic video. Hopefully with that I can start showing more personality. I'd honestly love to also start talking more about international affairs in space, stuff like the artemis accords and ASAT tests.

On my latest video, Some people are just delusional about virgin galactic. One guy in the comments is talking about investing in Virgin for ten plus years. I might actually do a series on "space" stocks like BA, LMT, and some more obscure ones like LHX and BWXT. Because the stock trading world is fucking retarded when it comes to space, it's why you see private investors funding shit like ARCA with it's green rocket lol.

If you're looking to get eyes on your channel, maybe do a video on AST as news just broke that it is going public and it has an approach to mobile satellite internet that is very different than the other companies getting into this sector.

Noise complaints are also a factor. Rockets are loud, louder than passenger planes. Having a rocket launch every once a couple of weeks is bearable but every day? Every 12 hours?

If you want to launch rockets as frequent as passenger planes, the rockets would have to be launched from a place relatively far from peoples homes.

Not quite as Nikola but close. Virgin has a vehicle they've been working hard genuinely for years. The whole SPCE is prob a clever choice from business point and probably wasn't any foul play from Brandon/virgin. It's just the investors are retard in this case. Nikola was a pure cash grab trying to pull string from Tesla's fame. Both investors and the company are fraudulently exploiting each other.

This is why point-to-point Starship will almost certainly never happen outside of select transoceanic routes. It's going to make Concorde sound as quiet as a Cessna by comparison.

what's your point? do they have any ambitions? never heard of musks kids accomplishing anything. also it seems most of the women musk knocks up are dumb as rocks, maybe the kids got their mother's personalities. he's also a bit of an absent father, to put it lightly. doubt his kids give a shit about their dad's projects.

2021? Why do you want the rocket to launch in 2022? Don't you know that's too dangerous? Our highly skilled engineers need to carefully inspect every bolt before we even consider the 2024 launch. You should be proud that America is working on this most spectacular rocket that will launch in 2028.

This is just a part of the Plan to keeps us locked inside this terrible atmosphere (remove it) forever. Musk's soul is not tethered by gravity, so he's attempting to boldly escape this prison himself and take a few others with him before the bars are finished and the key thrown away.

Bingo. Falcon 1 had 1 Merlin engine, Falcon 9 has 9. There was plans to do a Falcon 5 as a mid-range launcher but that was thankfully scrapped

Actually the issue back then was that the natural gas industry wasn't as developed as it is today. The only reason they went with kerosene was because it's basically the same stuff as aviation jet fuel, they simply put it through more purification steps to remove more sulfur.
Any other reason for using kerosene (muh density, muh easy to handle room temp liquid) is backwards justification. Kerosene rockets use cryogenic liquid oxygen oxidizer anyways, so using cryogenic methane as well is not actually a challenge. Cryogenic methalox gets less bulk density than kerolox, but is more efficient, meaning the overall performance of a methalox rocket is greater than a kerolox rocket even before you consider other technological pathways to improvement like better combustion cycles.

Yup.
Using nothing but gas-generator engines similar to the ones already developed in the 60's, it's possible to design a fully reusable TSTO vehicle which uses gliding reentry to recover both the Booster vehicle and the Orbiter vehicle. In fact it's not really that difficult at all, as long as you don't get trapped making dicey material selection choices in order to increase payload mass.

The advantage (singular) is that you can fly your launch pad to whatever latitude works best for your launch inclination. There's no significant delta V advantage.
The drawbacks are many, but the biggest is obviously that you can't design a bigger rocket than your air launch platform's maximum carrying mass. Even a Falcon 9 2nd stage masses close to 100 tons, so you can imagine that you're not gonna be able to get much payload per launch with a system like this.

I dunno if it is. I think it's just that using pyrophoric fluid to start the engine guarantees that there's gonna be fire in the combustion chamber as long as the valves open correctly. Oldspace is terrified of taking any risks.

Yeah, obviously, except also no.
Adding engines and heat shield is more dry mass, which reduces delta V. BUT, being able to fill the tanks all the way massively increases delta V, because of the much bigger wet-dry mass ratio. Three Raptors can't lift off with full tanks; in fact even 6 Raptors probably won't make enough thrust to push a fully loaded Starship at >1g.
I'm not an advocate for Starship SSTO, but it's definitely within the realm of possibility for SpaceX if they wanted to build a no-TPS no-flaps no-headers one off version of Starship to perform an SSTO flight just to steal the milestone and prove once and for all that SSTO bows to TSTO in all aspects.

First of all, they are using old space launch costs. They claim it costs roughly 10000 dollars per pound to reach LEO, but its closer to 1500 dollars per pound to LEO with Falcon 9 external launch costs. So off the bat they're already wrong.
Second, for the entire article they assume that these launch costs will remain static. This is a fatal flaw because Mars colonization is NEVER going to happen with high launch costs to LEO. They conveniently ignore that Starship will drastically lower launch costs.

Correct, they'd probably put nine of them on, a ring of six surrounding the central 3.

Side note, did anyone else realize that SN8 was capable of outputting more thrust power than the Delta IV Heavy? The latter only develops 6280 kN of thrust, whereas three Raptors at 100% throttle could do 6600 kN.

Nukes are fine but dumptruck loads of gravel in middle and low Earth orbits work nicely too. Only takes a few tons of sand distributed into a 100km x 100 km cloud on a hyperbolic trajectory to shred most Earth-orbiting satellites.

The sparks didn't light the engines but they did burn off bleed-valve hydrogen. The engine itself had internal hydrolox torches as mentioned but they weren't capable of operating unless the engine was sitting on the launch pad, almost like they designed it that way on purpose.

Temperature does play a big role in mars terraforming, but honestly thats the easiest part. To me it seems like the hardest part is getting enough atmosphere to increase pressure. Yes there's a lot of gasses locked up in rocks, but I've heard that it might only be barely enough in optimistic cases. Plus, we can't actually live on a planet with some insanely high CO2/ O2 atmosphere, we need tons of nitrogen to be the nice boring gas that just add's pressure without being deadly to life(CO2) or overly reactive(O2). So that begs the question of where we can get nitrogen? I think titan is a good candidate, and it has plenty of it to spare. Plus, europa has tons of water that can be put to use, so why not kill two birds with one stone, make artificial comets using Europa's water that carry large loads of nitrogen from titan. We can either use mass drivers or some other cheap form of propulsion to get a high throughput of water and nitrogen to make Mars an earth like planet in no time.

I mean how long would it really take to build a moon sized Ice ball with with a hollow core? 1-3 decades? Then how much longer to lightly pressurize the insides with nitrogen? 1-3 decades? If we are performing engineering on that scale moving it to mars would be a simple solar sail operation. Then we either reduce its horizontal orbital speed to something low, blow it open and let everything fall to ground or unpump it over a period of a decade or so?

Big yes, but not inherently complicated or manpower intensive? If we have fusion cracked we could pull it off, maybe even crash some more asteroids or comets to bump up the numbers.

The hard part is that it has such a stupid amount of atmosphere that it would be unliveable even if you converted all of the CO2 into O2.

They did simulations and you would end up with like a layer of solid oxygen on the surface as soon as the greenhouse effect was no longer in play.

I was mainly trolling but there is a continuous function starting with the King's English and leading to ebonics. I have actively worked to eliminate any sort of leftover slang from high school, people who talk like juveniles in their 20s and beyond are usually outing themselves as retards. Using fewer contractions has been pretty useful, it makes you slow down and articulate your thoughts better. I just hate black lexicon making its way into everyday language.

I know, and I've noticed that the most worthwhile people in my circle have strayed from juvenile ways of speaking as well. I don't have different registers, I talk the same way with stranger as I do with my parents. Blacks and wiggers think of regular speech as stilted for some reason. I guess there is an absolute highest level of formality reserved for judges and politicians and the like.
