Starship will absolutely orbit before Artemis 1 after the failed green run test. If they redo the green run they're adding a year or more to the schedule, if they don't redo the green run Artemis 1 will be a suborbital flight.

I have no clue when New Glenn will fly because of how secretive Blue Origin is. They could whip out a fully finished New Glenn core and upper stage for hot fire testing tomorrow, who knows.

The plan was to have the core finished long before the production line of new engines. To keep timelines, taking museum pieces would be necessary
>Why not just buy raptors from SpaceX?
The SLS core uses hydrogen fuel not methane fuel. Also the design of the SLS was laid down before SpaceX even started
>Is there a single logical reason they can give?
SLS logic is akin to druggie logic. Only makes sense in very short-term self-destructive spans

But. I dont understand. They have had rocket engines this whole time, since like 2011? What have they been doing for a decade if these rockets existed and could fire basically whenever you filled them with fuel? Literally what were they doing this whole time? Building a box to hold shit for the rockets to fly up? How long does that take? I am very confused.

Why not make a solid-fueled version of the rocket? It wouldn't carry as much payload but it could be 3d-printed and mass produced much cheaper. Turnaround time would also be quicker possibly allowing several launches per day.

So SpaceX can't be putting all of the work on its back forever. Is there going to be an acceleration in progress? Will they just make 1000 spaceships and be effectively a transportation company?

I mean there's going to have to be infrastructure to place in space. Will SpaceX have to make the space hotel, the habitats the mines the refineries for fuel the space elevator on the moon all on its own?

I'm not gonna shit on them for not committing to a redo until they commit to not doing it. Yeah they knew fucking nothing at the press conference, but to me that means you shouldn't be committing to anything just yet, even if redoing the test is the obvious right thing to do.

It was proven to work in the 1970s but was specifically banned by one of the arms treaties like a year later.

Iirc that treaty expired last year, so they are a possibility again. Not sure why you would want them at this point as we already have a nuclear triad that works fine.

Obama cancelled Consteallation a DECADE ago. For a decade The United States of America had to use foreign spacecraft to get to their own space station. Half of said space station is literally a MIR II, half of their own segment has been either cancelled, or made by other space agencies. They have to use spacesuits made for Shutlle program in the eighties.
Now, more than a decade later, NASA got new spacecrafts, new spacesuits and a new rocket, that will get them back to the Moon, and NOTHING is going to get in their way.

What's the goal and how long is "long distance"?
I'll assume it's a mars mission with our current tech to start expanding a base that has only been partially constructed by robots so far with crew return to earth.
This gives us:
>6 months getting there
>18 months on the surface
>6 months return
>total mission time ~2.5 years
My first though is how do gays handle closed social circles, would there be less drama and bitching with 20 gay men rather than a mix of straight men and women?
I just tried to find any data on this but can only find corporations showing off how progressive they are so might as well turn this mission into the first experiment regarding this.
>7 straight men
>7 straight women
>6 faggots (non-mincing variety)
As for nationality I couldn't give a fuck less so long as they were the best we could find and not diversity hires.
Age I would be looking for is between 30 and 40, old enough to have a decent amount of relevant experience but young enough to be capable of physical labor.

I don't know if you get the point of ICBMs.
If they're nuclear-armed, you want a large number of missiles with multiple warheads each in order to improve your odds of evading defenses. You could fill a Starship with hundreds or maybe thousands of warheads, but that's a don't-put-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket kind of deal.
If the ICBM isn't nuclear-armed, what the fuck are you doing?

The whole point of land based ICBMs in the modern age is to act as big targets in case an enemy decides to conduct a first strike. There’s a reason modern US ICBMs only have one warhead in their missiles rather than MIRVs, because we want to maximize the number of launch sites in the middle of nowhere (while complying with treaties limiting warhead numbers), with each site acting as a big “HEY SHOOT 7 OF YOUR LIMITED IN NUMBER ICBM’S HERE INSTEAD AT OUR CITIES OR INDUSTRY!” sign.

Could probably load a massive fucking warhead on starship, though. Issue is keeping it constantly prepped for launching on short notice.

In case you missed it, that's exactly what they're suggesting with this. Launch from places that doesn't have infrastructure to launch. The added option of being able to insert into just about any inclination due to have a mobile platform is also quite a nice bonus.

Can it even be classified as an ICBM at that size? Not really. It's an air launched rocket. It's not an F9.
Hell, it's not even a fucking Electron and those launch from NZ as well as Wallops.

Who the fuck said anything about Nigeria? Look at Europe for instance, not particularly suited for launching shit due to it being rather inconvenient to drop spent stages because every fucking square inch is put to use somehow or you're stuck doing polar launches.
Which is why ESA does their launches from fucking Kourou.

But stick your stick on a 747 and fuck off over the sea for a bit and that spent stage can go safely in the drink with no problem. Convenient and you don't need to ship your payload to the other side of the globe.

Saturn MLV included plans to make building shorter tanks and removing or adding engines using the same tooling easy.
The plan was based on the payload you could run anywhere for 1 to 5 F-1s on the first stage and 1 to 5 J-2's on the second stage with the tanks being made of standardized rings like Starship to make building them at different lengths cheap and easy.

>>12596215
See above, if all you care about is LEO a Saturn-Lite could be built with a "Big Gemini" on top offering up to 12 crew and guess what, it would still be cheaper than the shuttle.

Defend it all you want but the shuttle was a huge step backwards and has plauged NASA ever since.

You want to talk about insanity? No one in their right mind would design the Shuttle or stretch its service life out so long either. Hence it was not designed by anyone in their right mind, but instead designed piecemeal by committee becoming a jumbled mess that had only a ghost of intent behind it. Hence it was finally admitted to be a mistake.
Shilling for the Shuttle is a fucking joke. Fuck off Nixonite.

You know that between now and 1970 there have been a fuckload of expendable launches right? If the Saturn MLV was used for every single one (it could do all and could do most with 2 F-1's and 2 J-2's nearly halfing it's launch cost) how cheap do you think we would be producing it today after running the same designs for 50 years?
Saturn MLV was the future but there wouldn't be any cost+ RnD needed and the companies that got the production contracts would be sitting pretty producing the same parts for half a century instead of thousands of new companies get a slice of the pie.

I have no issue with them trying to make something cheap and reusable (original shuttle plan) but once it became clear that wasn't going to be the outcome they should have ditched it and stuck with what already worked and could still be improved for a fraction of the cost.
Continuing with the Shuttle at that point is much like continuing with SLS today, everyone knows it's going to produce a shit product that is extremely expensive even when excluding the insane RnD costs.

letting people on the shuttle was absolutely insane. It put them in fantastic danger, we got lucky with that death toll it could have easily been 2x or more. All for a great loss of money that didnt provide any new capacity.

Should have kept using smaller vehicles for people and optimized saturns for big cargos until you developed something actually better.

there was a third that we could almost count as 7 more fatalities, heat tiles failed, but they just happened to fail in the only place which was survivable. a 1/amount of tiles chances of that happening. And this is even after they realized how insanely unsafely it was and invested mad amounts of money to make sure they went over every cm2 of heattile before launch.

even so, the chance for error was high, with all the inspections in the world, the smallest of smallest of undetected irregularities would mean death of all.

sorry nig, i pressed enter early like a nig
what i meant to say was that the only real thing we learned from the shuttle is that it was a bad idea, like, for reals.

Seems kinda silly but having others test out failed concepts is a huge advantage in R&D, that's why starship knows it has to avoid that design like the plague and thats in part why elon musk is commited to retropropulsion for landing, he knows a big landing spacecraft is not an option.

The shitty thing is that because of the political shitfest we only got to try out a small variant of it, like, we know big shuttle with solid boosters was bad idea. Russian shuttle with liquid booster meh, maybe a bit better but not a lot.

the small shuttle on top of the rocket closer to x-37b dynasoar or dream chaser was probably a the best idea of all, even tough inferior to starship but ironically that was the least tried idea of all.

what an absolute shitfest

SpaceX will never sell Starships, ITAR is part of it but it also makes no sense economically. No one else would ever buy them anyway as it would be seen as a threat to local rocket production, which it would be although the way things are going their rocket production (especially Europe's) will require heavy protectionism to stay solvent.

Those families existed before america. Everything that happened was exactly what they expected and howt hey expected it. There's only those few people in america who benefit, and the other who live as cogs in the machine that serves them. Everything, everyone, every piece of culture, even their language, all of america exists for that. The only way that will change is that you destroy every last bit of american culture and people.

Also the super heavy rocket was independent of their shuttle which would've been great if they hadn't axed it all. Although I do wonder if the soviets couldn't have made engines that actually could've been worth reusing. Oh well. Still probably better to have more payload and a stand-alone super heavy rocket at that time.

In order to accept the Shuttle program NASA had to be ruined completely and has ever since. It's like looking at someone who got his brain beaten to a pulp with a baseball bat and asking why he never stops drooling on everything.

n't help that Nasa was under the impression that if Shuttle was canceled they would be left with nothing at all so they kept trying to prove its worth to keep something at all.

So, I was looking through the studies for the Saturn V derived systems, and I came across an interesting document.
As you know, Artemins is literally a continuation of Constellation program under another name. SLS itself is de facto Ares V. But if you look at picrelated, you can see that it goes much further in the past.

So my question is, does anyone have any info on the "Morton-Thiokol 1978" concept? Can't find anything myself, unfortunately.

Elaborate.

"It sucks" doesn't suffice as an answer.

C2H6 + O2 has a higher density than CH4 + O2, and C2H6 has a higher boiling point which means it can be stored at warmer temperatures, and on top of that you have a marginal thrust improvement without the dirtiness of RP1.

Yes, you may take a hit on specific impulse. Big fucking deal.

>Phantom's significant weaknesses were attributed to their payload accommodations, financial risk, and complete omission of payload environments which are most concerning and amount to a level of risk that is very high. I contemplated that they were also assigned weaknesses for lack of description on engine modifications and payload processing support, but neither of these two findings, while of concern to the evaluators, were impactful in my overall decision. I also recognized that Phantom was assigned two strengths, but given the level of concern I have with the findings in the significant weaknesses, they are not enough to overcome the significant amount of risk assessed.
>Here I note that [Relativity] are priced slightly higher than Phantom, but when considering the risk assessed in Phantom's proposal as described above, the slightly higher price is more than offset by the reduced level of risk. Even though Phantom had the lowest overall price, I am not considering them for award due to my concerns noted above with the level of risk assessed.
