that's not making a hard right, that's just the normal orbital trajectory for a station-inclination return (could also be done from the south). for lower inclinations they'd come in from the west, as the residents of texas and louisiana found out during sts-107.

Had this extremely vivid dream just now that I was walking around on some slightly terraformed version of Triton (very cold but had an atmosphere) looking up at Neptune, and Neptune took up like 1/4 of the sky. Felt fucking insane and now that I woke up I feel despair over that it wasn't real.

For me, it's the Uranus system. The least talked about and always the forgotten one. True, perhaps its worlds are not as interesting as Triton, at least as far as we know. But I feel... like serenity emanates from those inviting moons. And there are several big of those. Imagine standing on Titania or Oberon. Just peaceful quietness on a grey surface, while looking at the greenish ice giant on the always night sky. Maybe that's why I like the Moon so much, and I'd like one day to stand and experience how it feels to be up there.

They seem happy with how Electron looks when it returns to Earth, they have a lot of experience with carbon fiber, and the reentry velocity with Neutron is probably going to be fairly low, eliminating the thermal advantages of steel from the equation.

Rocket Lab is doing Gradatim Ferociter correctly. They're very good at carbon fiber already, a gas generator methalox design is the right mix of Isp and reliability assuming they use electric ignition instead of TEA-TEB, and the payload is enough to replace Antares, Soyuz, or Falcon 9 for many missions. As long as people want a second source for constellations or LEO cargo resupply (or manned LEO flight with a light enough capsule!) or full-weight Mars and Venus probes, they have a niche.

But they have advantages in terms of material properties. Clearly rocketlab think they can pull it off. Whether they'll succeed remains to be seen, but the same goes for spacex's stainless steel approach. You can talk about it informally all day long but at the end of the day it's a huge optimization problem, with constraints and conditions that aren't fully known to us.

Yeah it’s basically just a scaled up F9 first stage—the difference being that they have tried to optimize falcon to run out of fuel with zero velocity the second it needs to touch down, whereas SH has the ability to hover with extra fuel in the tank. Honestly catching it seemed retarded at first but if you have the ability to hover you might as well try to snag it. They will 100% hit the tower and destroy it at some point in the first year of testing though lmao

I feel you. But also I respect the fact that learning to actually play the game from a technical level can be just as rewarding. I can get my rockets to orbit in KSP but a lot of it is just pointing at the sky and doing arbitrary gravity turns until I make it there. 99% of the time i’m just seeing if my weird kitbash concoction will even survive all the way up to some arbitrary orbit. With orbiter you have all these switches and gizmos and stuff and it overwhelms me watching people play it

It's a bit of both. Ideally Musk wanted this to fly in like June-July and he knew there would be no infrastructure to catch it or anything. That plan has yet to change, because the process of just filing a flight profile and getting it approved is a pain in the ass and changing to to be caught instead of dumping it in the predetermined sight would be too much extra work, and yeah raptor has changed so recovering it wouldn't add too much data. They want to focus strictly on flight dynamics and test landing burns without actually needing to catch it a la early F9 recovery tests

No, the tower is very heavy duty construction steel beams and concrete, and the booster is essentially a can, and a nearly empty can at that by the time its being catched on the tower. I am almost certain the tower is designed to withstand a low velocity booster impact, and the catching arms swing away from the tower when the catching happens anyways.

It's not the force that will harm the tower anon, the thing will basically be hovering. It's the fact that a) any misalignment might been a few raptors braaaapping all over the top of the tower, coupled with b) the shockwave of an explosion. The tin can skin of the rocket will fuck off and not harm a fly, the explosion on the other hand... thankfully it will essentially be empty so maybe yeah it won't do too much damage. Nowhere near a full stack exploding around T+~20 seconds

I don't see how that's relevant. The F1 didn't start any real development until the early 60's.
>also the RD253 is not RP1 so you can’t really compare anything
Of course you can, using hypergolics is not in any sense easier to use than kerolox for first stages. The design for these early hypergolic staged combustion engines are what the RD-170 was built on rather than the late 60's staged combustion kerolox engines like the NK-33.

The F-1's was a primitive engine with a rushed development solely to get as much thrust as possible damn everything else.

There has been actual progress made on Alcubierre/white warp. Harold White while doing darpa work found an actual design that can be physically built that actually produces a negative energy density required to generate a real warp bubble. I'm pretty optimistic about this because it much better fits our current understanding of physics compared to QI, and it also allows for actual FTL, not just high % of c travel. This paper https://epjc.epj.org/articles/epjc/abs/2021/07/10052_2021_Article_9484/10052_2021_Article_9484.html is the first proof I think that a warp drive might be really possible and might even be doable within our lifetimes, which is quite exciting. It'll still require starship to work too, because starship would be necessary to cheaply get large amounts of mass into space in the first place.

Why not? If the technology is proven as viable by one of these warp bubble demonstrators, and access to space becomes cheap due to starship, I don't see any reason why at the very least we couldn't see unmanned technology demonstrators in space within 40-50 years.

In an instant our biggest problem (space wise) would switch to being not having enough manpower and probes to survey everything.
Wouldn't this also effectively kill much of astronomy, seeing as we could just send basic imaging probes to any star we were interested in to get highly detailed maps of their planets?

i think interest in FTL technology would be much higher then fusion if it was proven as being possible though, especially if we have a large space economy around cislunar space, neo asteroids, mars, and the asteroid belt, which is plausible 40 years from now. governments would probably be very interested in it from a military standpoint because it'd give whoever has the technology such a massive logistical advantage over anybody else that whoever developed the tech first would essentially gain total dominance over space for the foreseeable future, kind of like how america is poised to do that right now with starship

Here's that paper about G.

So with GR falsified, QI becomes the MORE likely of the two to work, as it relies on less novel physics. Pilot wave models of QM require FTL propagation of information across normal space, which violates SR as well as GR, which is why most physicists don't think they're valid. Unruh radiation at the heart of QI has been experimentally detected and there are macro scale thruster experiments in progress. A QI thruster is also an open system drawing energy from the outside. This allows the construction of net positive power generators by tapping Unruh pressure asymmetries to put a bunch of thrusters in a circle to spin a turbine. No conservation law violations.

That may be so but thats how it is with most major technology developments, no? 5 years ago starship and the potential it represents for actually making at the very least NATO/western countries part of a true space fairing civilization was totally unbelievable and out there, yet now it seems like its really going to happen. my point is, the fact that harold white made these discoveries in the first place makes me think there might be a real chance of this happening, even if its pretty slim.

that'd be incredibly funny but also sad if QI and the propulsion opportunities it represents ended up being true, because while it'd essentially guarantee high % of c travel being plausible relatively soon, it'd also make FTL travel out of the question for centuries.

No there were a bunch of “hacks” and fixed and niche knowledge that was never written down or stored on a computer or anything. The guys at aerojet just knew what to do and told the manufacturers, or the manufacturers came up with techniques and tricks themselves and whatnot. Oh the engine was unstable? We bent this part a little bit and added a twist here offset this part by 1/16th of a millimeter. Nah we didn’t write it down lol it’s not like we are gonna forget! Stuff like that… and now all those people are old or have been dead for 40+ years. Not like you would want to remake the F1 tit for tat though thankfully. You’d at least do an F1B and modernize it from scratch. And from what I can gather that’s exactly what the Merlin engine is in a way.

If the chinese have an ounce of thought they would just transition LM9 into a methalox copy of Energia II. It’s extremely modular and you could start off with expendable boosters and a capsule upper stage; this allows you to go with flyback boosters down the line and a space plane upper stage for LEO projects. Full reusability and you never have to fuck with trying to land a booster which they will likely never attempt. Could even toy around with depots and refueling your upper stage in orbit for extra capability

I feel like that’s a good possibility as to what the YF-130 might end up being. It’s listed as flying with “4” of them in the core stage and “2” on the booster so they will likely be clustered in pairs of 2? Meaning it’s going to be an RD-180 “clone”, that term used loosely here because I think they actually bought the rights to RD-120 to make their current engine with upgrades so they will likely do the same for LM9. But lol this is all speculation. Any anon who watches dongfang hour might have an actual answer

You realise that GR does not declare G is a invariant constant? The argument is incredibly retarded. Someone claimed there is evidence for variable G, therefore only GR is falsified. Which is nonsense. GR doesn't specify G is constant any more than Newtonian Gravity. So if one really believed this debunked GR then it also debunks Newtonian gravity (which QI results are based on). But really neither is true because this is a retarded argument.
If Jupiter really had an effect on G measured on Earth then you would not use the orbital period. The relevant period is the synodic one, which is how often Jupiter and Earth have the same alignment. That period is 400 days. This "paper" is literal numerology.

How the fuck do YOU think it came to be? the YF engine series was literally born out of former Soviet engineers that China brought into the country. That's was literally how they were able to reverse engineer the RD-120 in the first place, a bunch of Ruskies told them how to and they imitated.

Like how the SN15 series had a lot of design changes compared to the SN8 series, how the SN2X series has a lot of design changes compared to the SN15 series, and how the SN(whenever they put the cargo doors on an turn it into a functional rocket) series will be different to the SN2X series.
Or I guess a more directly analogous example would be the evolution of the Merlin engine.

I don't think you've made clear what you were trying to achieve. I can sort of understand why you might want to weigh it (to accurately tell when it's empty), but I can't understand why you would need it upside down, as opposed to upright or horizontal.
Perhaps put it on a frame that looks something like a Goddard pendulum rocket, use a horizontal with small hole to support the weight on the shoulders of the valve end of the tank, and another horizontal with a larger hole at the top to keep it upright.
And yeah, you could shibari tie it to support it on the shoulder, then you would only have one point to weigh it from.

I think an explanation of how orbits work is important.
The basic idea is if you go sideways fast enough, then as you fall you stay at the same altitude. Every altitude has a particular speed to maintain it (LEO takes ~90 minutes, GEO takes 24 hours, and the moon takes ~28 days). But once you hit the atmosphere, you are going so fast sideways that the atmosphere gets in your way. Not only can you not maintain that speed, you start to burn up from the friction of even a thin atmosphere.
BO is going outside the atmosphere, but isn't going sideways AT ALL. It's a literal carnival ride.

Other than their carnival ride rocket, the only thing that they have to show for that twenty years is an empty demonstration hull for a proper orbital rocket, with an engine that still won't run long enough to get to orbit before shitting itself. And they sold that engine to ULA for Vulcan, with delivery priority over even their own projects.
ULA's rocket is supposed to start launching next year, which is the origin of the "Where are the engines, Jeff?" meme.

They’re counting shit like amazon and tesla factories’ carbon output and comparing it against millions and millions of people in the world who don’t even burn gas or emit carbon aside from what they exhale. He wasn’t just saying their rockets emit carbon

Doesn't matter, most of the clueless fools you see are freaking out over the rocket exhaust. You think normalfags are gonna give a fuck that SpaceX's methane will be sourced "climate neutral" or whatever? They just go "methane bad" and that's the extent of their critical thought process

EA's video about rocket pollution is actually quite timely and a good resource to dispel their kvetching, if any of them bother to watch it that is

What's crazy is that it gets more to TLI than Saturn V, but not much (48.6 T vs 53 T) and that is WITH boosters. Presumably this is because Chinese engines are underpowered compared to US and Soviet engines. If they had the knowledge to make great engines the LM9 could carry more tonnage than could fit in the payload bay

The "idiot" you quoted doesn't specify exhaust. In fact, the image specifically mentions indirect emissions. You're crying over a post which makes a perfectly reasonable point. I don't think you even read it before posting your whiny reply.

It's done in a real click-baity way, anyone reading just this headline alone would think he was talking about the exhaust during launch especially since he specifies "9 minute"

But there are also retards who think it is polluting so

basically everything is polluting in this fucking world, but if you ask normies instead to stop consuming so much fast food, buying the latest iphone, or basically give up their expensive hobbies (all of these things are polluting, one way or the other) they respond to you with the classical
"Yet you participate in society! Curious! I am very intelligent."

Like any electrical thruster they rely on power density for acceleration. Most configurations I've seen would require an onboard nuclear reactor to SSTO. The real assassination threat would be from rocket engine or fossil fuel companies if a QI turbine can be made net positive. Doing it under DARPA grants means launch providers will have access to all the research anyways.
