Hm, that chopper pad doesn't look that much smaller than their drone ships and launch pads. Reinforce it, chuck a couple of extra metres a side on it, chop out the middle for a flame diverter and you are good to go. Based cheap as fuck international water launch pad.

terrible idea. the whole reason for having a fuckhuge oil rig like that is because it's designed to support a massive drill, so it can support starship. That helipad wouldn't support a fully stacked starship super heavy. Maybe you could make it the starship landing pad though, and then it's lifted by a crane onto the booster.

What would the full takeoff mass/thrust of a SS stack that far off axis do anyway? I feel like it would be listing hard. Landing is a lot lighter so that seems more workable.
Clearing the center for the actual launch makes the most sense to me.

If you consider the base superstructure of >>12600111 you can see that the thing is a giant steel square frame with a bunch of additional shit on top of the platform.
Sweep all that stuff into the bin, install a big crane, install prop tanks, put a bottomless launch 'platform' frame in the center of the square, golden launch vehicle.

They float and can be towed. That's really all there is to it and that's why they settled on semis I suppose. Downside is that they're not as big as other forms of rigs and are therefore limited in not just how many starships they can serve, but also thrust etc, but I suppose they know what they're doing.

I used to build the fuckers, not design them.

based. It’s all doomed to fail until congress starts a committee to approve the construction of some space roads which fall apart in a few years and are never repaired. What we really need is a tax funded organization who engages in random, massive transportation infrastructure projects that are completely pointless and poorly planned and take years or even decades to complete so that they can keep inflating their budget. Make sure that they can still levy tolls and fuel taxes on top of everything else.
As everyone knows, american infrastructure is the best in the world, nothing is wrong with it, and the government is very skilled at handling a budget.

>Green Run Update: Data and Inspections Indicate Core Stage in Good Condition
>As planned, the thrust vector control systems gimbaled the engines to simulate how they move to direct thrust during the rocket’s ascent.
>During gimballing, the hydraulic system associated with the core stage’s power unit for Engine 2, also known as engine E2056, exceeded the pre-set test limits that had been established. As they were programmed to do, the flight computers automatically ended the test. The specific logic that stopped the test is unique to the ground test when the core stage is mounted in the B-2 test stand at Stennis. If this scenario occurred during a flight, the rocket would have continued to fly using the remaining CAPUs to power the thrust vector control systems for the engines.
>Initial data indicate the sensor reading for a major component failure, or MCF, that occurred about 1.5 seconds after engine start was not related to the hot fire shutdown. It involved the loss of one leg of redundancy prior to T-0 in the instrumentation for Engine 4, also known as engine number E2060.

Minimum depth is gonna depend on the mooring design regardless of intent to drill, not sure what the exact figure on their specific rig is though. It's not like it's gonna be that big of a difference anyway, the optimal range is still close to port.

According to manufacturer specs, the main deck is 240' x 255', so a Super Heavy would be about as tall as the rig is wide (about as tall as the tower?), and the Starship would be 2/3 that.

Reading this makes me think NASA should be funding, and researching, going full in R&D on near future propulsion rather than designing probes/rovers/helicopters that will take a decade or more to reach the outer planet

Why not design the engines and spacecraft to shorten the trip significantly and THEN design/build the probes/landers/rovers to send there? It's completely backwards and asinine right now, how little funding and manpower goes into near future engine design, production and testing right now at NASA

the whole point of commercial partnerships is to avoid risk by investing equally in everything. Eggs should not all be in one basket, regardless of commercial vs government. The point is to avoid investing too much into ANYTHING before it's fully developed and working. Giving up on SLS and investing into Starship the same amount is equally as retarded as the current legally binding SLS requirements.

Unironically: If you never go anywhere or do anything you won’t be seen as a failure. People will trust you and love you and praise you endlessly because you never failed or made any mistakes because you never tried. All that’s there to vouch for you are your own words. It’s why weird western academics love Gramsci, why “physicists” and pop-sci types love untestable theories like string and muh simulation, and even why americans love JFK and germans love luxemburg
I can’t prove to them that SLS is shite, just like i can’t prove gramsci was full of nonsense or that God doesn’t exist. It’s all on faith.
If for some reason SLS gets canned before it ever launches and replaced with various SpaceX vehicles you will forever see retards say that it was the real answer and we should have gone with that instead, against any and all evidence to the contrary

>Im a huge spaceX fan, and I follow starship progress daily. But Methane engines can simply not beat out HydroLox once your out of the atmosphere. The Raptors, are amazing, but no match to a Hydrolox engine for an upper stage. This means Starship (2nd stage) throw mass is very low without re-fuel. Starship cant send anything to TLI without re-fueling. SLS can send over 30 tons on a single launch. This is because of the better Hydrogen upper stages.

Blue Origin isn't doing smallsats though. Maybe as rideshare or secondary payloads, but it's not gonna be New Glenn's bread and butter. And dual launching would be absolutely pointless.

If they're able to succeed in the roadmap they laid out in their S-4 filing, they should be able to get to $1B EBITDA by 2024, which would make them undervalued – but MAXR is also undervalued, and a much more established company. Momentus is venture capital tier.

That is the problem, Maxar is old space and has trouble adjusting to new industry trends thus isn't afforded the same premium as Momentus or AST Space. The have limited smallsat production, their orbital servicing project is a meme, and to my knowledge they have no plans to get into space tugs so they don't benefit as much from the greatly decrease cost of entry to space. Of course their imagery and observation business is profitable but even with imagery constellations enabling constant surveillance of the Earth's surface, the data has limited use and they can be outcompeted by more agile companies.

I still like Maxar as an investment, and they'll benefit from all the money flowing into the industry, but I wish they had a better pathway to rapid growth and greater profitability.

Elon M*sk is a fucking FRAUD, with all those brains working around and for him and he still takes all the credit for himself, even though he knows NOTHING about rocket science, physics or anything space-related! He is an ASSET in selling an IMAGE that very obviously translates to buying TESLA makes for someone COOL and QUIRKY!
If he was such a GENIUS, he would've already come up with a better engine than the raptor to power his "rockets"! Knowing that FRAUD, he'll probably name his next "rocket" CARNOTAURUS or something retarded like that, just because it'll have twice the ROAR and double the POWER of a raptor, that is, assuming he doesn't milk his slave ensemble of gigaminded scientists for every last drop of brain juice of theirs until then, rendering them useless except for feeding their soulless corpres to BRIDENST*NE

The ISP is nice, yeah. But does it offer such an advantage that it's worth putting up with all the above?

I feel like hydrogen as a whole is an oldspace meme, similar to isogrids along a rocket's entire structure, in that it's hugely wasteful and difficult for only a tiny improvement margin.

Aerospace companies no longer spend money to do things. They now do things to make money. You think Boeing could’ve set aside $1 Billion per year to build a cool new space probe or a lunar lander pro bono but noooooo they don’t do anything unless there’s a government contract attached to it. It’s not just Boeing - Lockheed, Northrop, all of them are guilty of this.

This, the corporate world, unlike what lefties like to think, wasn't always like that. There used to be a whole other motives for having a company than profit. Probably the only person who still has a company for the sake of having a vision is elon musk(im sure i will get nice comments for this). But seriously, the vast majority fall into a logic in which either you make tremendous amount of profit by minmaxing everything to the point of ridicule or you get ass destroyed by the competition and get nothing, even if your intentions were good, you have to be really commited to do anything else that isnt the maximum amount of ruthless effort possible to make the literal physically maximum profit possible completely disregarding literally every other consideration.

honestly, I wouldn't even call it vision, I'd just call it awareness that the product is the focus and the better product will win in the end. I think Microsoft ruined this idea by making shitty products, but forcing everyone to use them because DOS was so ubiquitous, so a whole generation of entrepreneurs grew up thinking that the products doesn't matter, market domination matters.

It's completely impossible. You need 1 period for starship test that it can arriva 1 period to send equipment for ISRU, 1 period so it can show it can return.

thats an insanely accelerated schedule and its 6 years total, you dont make it in time even if you start in 2022

Yes. It is so because the optimum window to perform a certain maneuver is instant, but you can't dump all the dV you need to instantly, so some of the propellant will be used out of the optimal window. If you have higher thrust you can spend your dV in a shorter amount of time and be more efficient.

You can move the launchsite to wherever it is required to be.
For 0° inclination you want to be on the equator or you need to fly a dogleg maneuver wich costs you quite some payload capacity.
And 0° is realy popular for communication sattelites as GEO is 0° inclination.

Biggest reason: no overland travel. SS big. F9 is sized the way it is specifically so it can get around on semis, but size is the limiting factor on rocket performance.
Other reasons: High cadence means the necessity of multiple launch platforms, this will ultimately be easier to scale than grabbing up land mass every time an expansion is needed. Launching SS is a huge sound hazard, taking it 50-100 miles offshore to launch it eliminates evacuation measures. In the future, they could move the platforms more equatorial for a slight performance boost.

VO can just launch one rocket, land the 747, load another rocket, take off and launch again. What they need to focus on is making the rockets simpler and cheaper. They should really take another look at using solid fueled 3d-printed engines which could be fabricated quickly and easily customized for the desired launched profile.

Well, oil platforms are meant to tank hurricanes and thus are built like brick shithouses, and thats before whatever modifications SpaceX adds to these things. If they do hop Superheavy over to the platforms and something goes wrong, I expect the platform to come out of it intact, especially since a hop means by the time the booster gets there it'll have little more than fumes in the tanks.

given the current cost reduction of starship, and if it really works. Couldn't they just ignore the isru aspect of it? I mean for the price of one sls launch you could send 40 starships filled with jerry cans of fuel. Then the first crew just unloads those into their starship and yeet the fuck away. You also have 40 starships for spare parts.

Like, for a boots mission it makes sense as long as youre not using nasa level of space is hard payment for things

Even if they did, they would still need on site storage. Going straight from a X mile long pipeline to rocket with no intermediary storage would be a logistical nightmare.
And no it would very much need new pipelines. Trying to pipe low temperature liquids through undersea pipes made for a room temperature liquid does not get you a low temperature liquid at the other end, it gives you a high pressure gas followed by pipe failure.

what we really need is a spectacular failure so that congress finally pulls the plug on that shit.

Like, right now if they launch as is they risk launching with one engine less on a craft that DOES NOT have engine out capability.

but if they schedule another test? how long will it take? what if they find another failure? what if the testing CAUSES another failure and they end up not making it cause the srbs expire. Frankly i prefer a spectacular explosion so that light is shedded on it.

Its also very likely cause im not sure if there's one person left on it without the "hey i only get paid to do this task " mentality

there is a point in which the failure does get too ridiculous. If they spent 50 billion on a firecracker and the james webb telescope is on it, then there's a point in which someone wil ldraw the line and say. Nope, that's it, we're just buying starships and thats the end of it

The vast majority of scientists are left-wing. /pol/tards see everything in black and white so space=good, left=bad, therefore left=no space.

Lad you are strawmanning a too hard.

I’m pretty sure the only group I have ever seen get salty at spacex has been the left and /pol/ seems to be pretty fond of Musk especially after he called out who owns the press and the censorship of social media.

And I’m starting to become convinced that you are baiting by saying the right can only see things in a black or white vision as throwing stones in a house that fragile seems incomprehensible to me, but then the left have been doing that an awful lot lately so maybe you are serious.

Sweaty, Boring Company tunnels are almost exclusively used for public transportation projects because the cost of tunneling is still too high for any other use. The sub likely would have worked and they were building it under the directive of those leading the rescue mission. The pedo guy wasn't on the dive team, he just gave them advice about the cave and then sat around collecting media attention.

The thing is that there is a lot of valid criticism to hurl against Musk or his companies, this almost never happens because the people that have Musk derangement syndrome just repeat the same easily disproven lies over and over again. It's like the apartheid emeralds accusations, the mine was located in Zambia, not South Africa, and his father didn't own the whole thing.
