Give it to me straight /sfg/, is the Starlink constellation secretly the successor to Brilliant Pebbles, an anti ballistic missile defense system?

>insufficient thrust for any starlink satellite to see a launch and then intercept it
With inter-satellite communication, one starlink satellite could see a launch and relay that information to another that is too far away to see the launch itself, but in position to intercept it a few minutes later.

>no room for a bulky brilliant pebble system
What do you think is bulky about a "pebble system"? The pebbles are nothing more than tiny guided missiles, with sensors and a rocket booster, but no warhead. We're not talking about "rods from the gods" either; these aren't tungsten impactors. All they do is crash into enemy missiles during their ascent stage.

Just to spell this out, the entire starlink satellite could be "the pebble".

No that's not how Brilliant Pebbles works.
>>13541833
The more pebbles you have, the less delta-v any particular pebble needs. And inter-satellite communication lets them start the burn to intercept over the horizon, before the intercepting pebble has eyes on the enemy missile.

Please tell me you're trolling. Starlink doesn't even have enough delta-v to do a real plane change, it would be trivial to avoid. Collisions in space happen because you have thousands of objects in different orbits and rarely the objects will intersect, it's not because there is a net like constellation that they're trying to pass through on their way to their final orbit.

According to https://www.zenefits.com/workest/your-company-healthy-employee-retention-rate/ the average turnover rate across all white collar industries is 17.8%. At a company of Blue Origin's size that would be 12 people leaving per week.

maybe a laser payload powerful enough to be seen against the dark sky at night. have some anon with access to RF gear run a script that scans /sfg/ threads and adds the 10 posts that day with gps coordinates in them and the most consecutive digits to a list of gps coordinates on the satellite. the sattelite then shoots the laser beam at the closest coordinate when within reasonable line of sight of them and when in night time.

you can have the laser reading out shitposts in morse code or something or just repeating /sfg/ memes.

they did the inverse of this (1W laser pointer on a robotic arm aimed at ISS) and dude on ISS saw and filmed it, id imagine seeing the inverse against dark shy would be even easier given little light pollution and we can get a 5W laser in there if we heatsink it to the cubesat body and run a loop watching the temps. 5W laser pointers are like 200$

>In order to get a more powerful start sequence you can use what is known as “spin start.” A spin-start system uses a high pressure or high energy gas to get the turbines spinning prior to the rest of the start sequence. This effectively pre-pressurizes the whole system. There have been different gas sources designed over the years for spin start.

I feel like even a 5W laser wouldn't cut it, plus getting 5W on the cheapest form factor (1U) would be, unironically, impossible without the laser only being used for a few seconds at a time. I think that that's too weak even at visible, but maybe you can modulate a signal from it. I know almost nothing about laser comms though, maybe this can be simulated easily?

1W blue laser can be seen from ISS from near a city at night, i would think that against a dark night sky without too much light pollution even a 1W would be much more visible
also you can get 2-3W power generation during daytime, as long as you dont run the laser too much the batteries should last.

they sell cubesats with communication lasers these days but im talking about something visible with the naked eye from the ground, even if not that bright and only visible in places with no light pollution.

Ohh, I see what you mean. It might just be doable if that is the case, but would still require some modeling to see how bright/powerful it can be. The off the shelf communications ones work with little power, but they aren't on the visible range. If 1W will be even that powerful, that is certainly doable.
The problem will be, of course, that this is a space-based laser weapon, pointing this at some high-power telescope on Chile or something could not be acceptable for the launch provider... specially if there's a (((white supremacy symbol))) of a frog on the mission patch.

dont think so, im using the term 'radiation hardening' kinda loosely here i mean both error-resistant computers (redundant registers, checksums on everything, shit like that) and physical barriers between the radiation and the computer. at the end of the day its a game of numbers, you're gonna get errors the point is to build your system in such a way that a catastrophic error (like flipping the sign of your attitude vector causing the spacecraft to fire engines and turn) has a very small probability of occurring in the spacecraft's lifetime.
i worked with a bunch of commsats and in them combinations of 2-3 specific bits would have to be flipped simultaneously for anything catastrophic to happen and the expected time until this happens is like billions of years of operation. once every 1-3 days we'd get a telemetry message of a flipped bit but any single flipped bit was correctable.

His project is really cool. The problem with these is that they don't last long, these components will be fried in a month or three as in common with cubesats that do it like this. Saving on the components only to pay 10x the price for the launch just doesn't make sense if you want something substantial and not be satisfied with your ~30 beacons before the sat is dead.

Its not even funny anymore. These morons got more development money than SpaceX's design contract and first $300m payment combined, but they produced some retarded shit and cry about it.
Even if SpaceX, Dynetics and National team delivered near identical designs it would make sense that SpaceX would won at this point, they blew the competitors away on cost and have demonstrated a lot the last few years.
There wasnt enough money to award two contracts and why would they even consider the costliest choice with the least capability from a company with zero orbital launches going to the fucking moon
Its kind of like BO's cope that New Glenn had gone nowhere, "yeah New Glenn and BE-4 would be on track but you havent given us loads of money after the first contract"
SpaceX got pumped with Musk's money, private money, followed through and put shit in orbit, reinvested profits in risky tech and made it work several times now
ULA, Boeing whatever getting some contracts made sense even if theyre retarded slow and expensive theyd accomplished something. Bezos and BO hasnt done shit but one tourist flight, fuck over ULA and sue NASA

you mean like in software? im no cpu expert but im pretty sure all currently available cpus that arent made for this sort of use have bits in them that when flipped cause a crash or can cause unpredictable behavior. even if you save every variable you use in your main flight control program 5 times the cpu still has stuff it uses to regulate its own workings that isnt redundant or checksummed.
>>13542506
im no expert on the exact physical mechanism myself, my understanding is that the engineers are assuming any memory bit in any form of memory can be flipped. spacecraft i worked on sent 'memory error' codes via telemetry occasionally which i think meant a loop that was checking checksums of memory detected a chunk of memory that doesnt match its checksum somewhere. im assuming these were just replaced with the redundant memory for the same data. there were some kinds of data like sensor data where if there were memory errors in it the data was just ignored for 1 sample or it just used the data from the last sample instead.
>>13542509
all spacecraft (other than maybe some cubes) have at least 2 redundant computers. both of them are connected to all components of the spacecraft and the active one sends a 'heartbeat' signal to the redundant one. the moment this signal stops the redundant computer takes over and starts sampling sensors and sending commands instead while the other is crashed\looping\restarting or whatever. they can also both restart each other both a hot and cold restart (literally cut the power to the other computer and return it).

ah sounds like there may be different kinds of errors. i wasn't sure if you were talking about memory errors in the MPU running on the satellite or the errors in the telemetry data sent back. because in the latter case thats the communication/signal errors typical to all radio communication and there are fairly well known methods of error correction for those. like you said checksums, etc
as for sensor errors yes, sensors could occasionally return garbage but those shouldn't be a big deal either as you usually collect multiple samples and average out or discard the outliers that are obvious errors. so this is interesting, it alll depends on where those errors occur but the worst case of course is corruption of firmware, i.e software that sits in flash memory and if it gets corrupted then you are really screwed. but based on your description that never happens which is good news.

i mean errors in the computers themselves not a bad radio connection. losing a packet of telemetry or two isnt really a problem and most spacecraft have a telemetry recording feature so you wont lose telemetry during important events like maneuvers.
> it alll depends on where those errors occur
which is why the thing is designed so no single error causes problems, they are fixed using checksums and redundant memories. the only problem is too many errors too fast (2 flipped bits = same checksum but false data) and this is where passive physical shielding comes in. you can tolerate a certain number of flipped bits as long as you have time to correct them so you build the physical shielding so that the chances of 2 flips before you can correct that memory section are infinitesimal (will happen once if you run the spacecraft for a billion years), as i said its just a game of statistics.

>>13542575
>worst case of course is corruption of firmware
you can check the firmware memory against checksums, if one doesnt match the checksum rewrite it it from the redundant sector. of course the firmware may do something bad before you can do this but making an error-proof system is impossible all you can do is make the mean time to catastrophic error very long while also minimizing the need for physical shielding of the cpu as you want to save mass.

i dont remember the specifics and i think a bunch of space computers do this differently but i think every memory read command checks the register checksums. and in general the computer system is built in such a way that all the memory checksums are checked regularly to not give the system time to accumulate double errors.
if some piece of data is very important like all the variables relating to a maneuver (for example number of engine pulses being 01100100 and being 11110100 have the same checksum, thrusting more than twice as much might be the difference between lunar insertion and crashing into it) you will put checksums and multiple redundancies on every byte.

on other types of data like sensor data (startrackers,sunsensors,accelerometers,thermometers) errors are not that important and often you need no protection other than extreme outlier filtering, for example if the temperature reading on your helium tank increased from 21c to 200c without the temp reading from the redundant temp sensor 2 cm from it changing at all you can safely conclude its not a real temperature reading and filter it out.

Mechanical or EE. IDK of any 'space companies' really in the market for nuclear engineers with (FE EIT PE) in Civil, but so long as you also have passed the test in something they care about you'll at least get an interview.

An engineering human unit is like a cog, these companies will just grab a bunch and shove them in the cooperate machine, they are considered a standard replaceable component. I know a company that primarily hires ME's but their product is turbines and pumps for sewage, they give their folk a decent raise if they pass the test as civil also so half the ME's there have certs for civil, but they also higher civils that can pass the ME tests.

The fact that he's accomplished so much already, has so far to go still, but thinks he can pull it off. Add to that, he knows that if he pulls it off he'll be legendary for millennia. But he also knows that if he fails, he'll probably just go down in legend like Icarus. Either way he knows that he's legendary in the most literal sense and that's enough to drive any man insane.

Experience counts for a lot, but younger minds are the most nimble and clever. There are some counter examples, but most of the great minds throughout history peaked when they were young, then coasted the rest of their lives writing down the details. Newton was 23, Einstein was 26.

The problem with young people is two-fold; they lack experience, and they often lack discipline. But SpaceX seems to be doing a good job of managing them, overworking them and still getting good work out of them despite that. It's probably unethical but it's definitely effective. The results so far speak for to it.

His exorbitant wealth and the circles of people he moves with have given him an immense sense of entitlement to whatever he wants, and now he's throwing a baby temper tantrum which is objectively halting and delaying spaceflight projects.

Let's go with 191. So 6% • 191 / 12 is less than one per month. So then over the last
four months, director-level attrition has been ~twice what it should be. I suspect that the discrepancy is even wider for lower-level employees.

(Also I personally know two senior engineers and two level 3 engineers who left Blue over the past four months, as well as two managers who've been interviewing elsewhere. As far as I've seen, none of them are on these Twitter lists.)

I only got interested in space after taking some time off from moving out from my apartment and having nothing else to do but read news.

On some random day, Falcon was launching and I was paying attention to it. Then there was Musk whom I had no idea who he was ~3-4 years ago and he presented the BFR. Then few years later /sfg/ was being formed as the rocket was being built in public and we had a live front stage view of the whole thing. Suffice to say, my space interest grew from there.

Reasonable post.
Given the small sample size, 2x turnover increase over baseline isn't particularly significant. I also question that the 6% industry average applies to BO, they've been scaling pretty aggressively in the past few years which makes it difficult to keep the consistent culture necessary to have employee retention as high as 94%. Add to that a ~15% CEO approval rate and it wouldn't surprise me at all if >10% has been the attrition rate at all levels of the company over the past few years.
I don't doubt that some people in high positions within the HLS org left when they lost the contract. Contracting companies shrink when they lose major bids. Because of >paid to practice faggotry, despite the infinitely deep pockets they're connected to Bob still runs them like a contracting shop.

The main safety issue that concerned them involved what would happen in the case of an aborted mission, a failure of the Space Shuttle systems to put them into orbit. In that case, the crew would dump the Centaur's propellant and attempt to land.

She might not have been able to complete her primary mission of surpassing the Saturn for cost effectiveness, but the shuttle still proved the concept of a spaceplane could work, pioneered applied tile TPS (even though it's iteration was bad) and of course still accomplished tons of launches.

This particular horse was not of the right temperament for riding and the jockey was obviously quite upset at the horse objecting to perform. The coach punched that horse, and got expelled from the Olympics for it. The horse being a little shid and that rather memorable photo made it prime meme material.

That's different, in that video the Shuttle is pitching up, killing its speed to generate enough lift as not to crash into the carrier. In the webM it's flying straight without propulsion yet still maintains the same lift as the carrier with propulsion despite the much worse lift to drag ratio.

IIRC they're not in orbit by choice, they have some medical condition which wont allow them to return to earth after staying in orbit for a long time building free side.
so yea they were probably atlest initially stuck in orbit without women. most were probably married and had their women come to them later but the book really doesnt explain the situation of the rastas with any depth. i think theyre only there to show how good the AI is at manipulating people before shit really goes off the rails in freeside.

orbital telepresense does make sense for some things like simple orbital assembly of shit that was already built on the ground but there's many cases where actual human presence in orbit is more practical.

it will probably be a mix of present and telepresent human workers until said type of construction can be fully automated by bots

True, bot maintenance will have to be done by humans.
But I don't think we'll be seeing humans doing space walk for much longer, it's far simpler to have a remotely controlled bot do work in vacuum, not a human in space suit more complex than the bot itself.

>True, bot maintenance will have to be done by humans.
i dont even mean that you could maintain bots with other bots. there's a lot of shit that could conceivably be remotely done on earth that we dont do because being there in person gives you much more flexibility and efficiency. even the most remotely doable stuff like office jobs which you'd expect to be all remote a century ago since we got phones is still done in person.

in technical jobs nearly anything you'll try to do you'll quickly run into something your telepresence bot either cant do or does much much slower. i think it will be like automation on earth at first for any particular type of construction we'll use people to build it, then we'll gradually switch to telepresence bots with specialized tools using the experience we learned from human construction and then we'll use the telepresence construction to teach robots how to do the whole thing with maybe a human supervising and checking the build quality. there will always be a need for humans in orbit for doing new never tried before stuff.

we wont see spacewalks with the types of suits we've seen until now. we might see something like a 'space suit' permanently attached to a robotic arm of a space station and connected to it via an 'umbilical' corridor kind of like the shit they use in some clean rooms and bio labs.also i think a lot of the work will move into big interior pressurized volumes where you can just walk around with no suit and no fear of losing parts and tools.

pic related, axiom commercial station whose first module they're launching soon and will apparently have manufacturing facilities inside. maybe orbital cubesat\experiment assembly they can shoot out of their airlock.

pic related, basically 'EVA' suits that are part of the station and pressurized from it. if it gets stuck or punctured or whatever you can just turn around inside the tube and go back to the station.

That is the most likely option, however, I imagined that they had already this capability a decade ago. I guess I got too ahead of myself thinking that they'd make sense.
Also, from the article of the guys said that this is useless on the deterrence-aspect, which means that it is probably not a very powerful weapon too.

As far as actual coffee goes, literally anything is better than Folgers or Maxwell House and it all weighs the same amount.

The problem is that there's an overabundance of talent in tech, but the amount of talent that exists in aerospace is at a massive deficit. Truth be told, aerospace is one of those few industries where the success or failure of an entire company can depend on a single senior level position leaving the company--because aerospace institutional knowledge is something you CANNOT replace in a matter of weeks or even months.

There's a rule of thumb in tech, that if you're new on the job, no matter how high the chain it goes, you need a minimum of 3 months to understand how your project operates and up to 6 months to fully understand how the organization operates. You can reasonably double that for an aerospace firm that's rapidly changing on a daily basis and working to push the bar forward on possible.

The amount of people BO lost in the last 6 months is not an easy to replace number. Its probably impossible to do this. In absence of Bozo's blank checks that are basically crutches and IV bags for the company, BO would declare bankruptcy by the end of the year and go under just like that.
