Okay but look at that shadow being cast, and if you combine it with accurate radar topography data then is it really wrong? A computer simulation and an artist’s impression nonetheless, sure, But based on data collected

They predicted SpaceX would have a trillion dollars of assets on Mars by 2035 or something ridiculous. The entire company is only worth a third of that on earth

>>16696042
Musk's Mars colonization mission is a joke. The Mars City is a massive system engineering project, and the United States has now lost the ability of more than 100000 technical personnel collaborating on a single technology project (Saturn V is a collaborative effort of 20-300000 people. 20000 suppliers). Even if SpaceX solves the transportation part of it with StarShip, the US cannot achieve large-scale space infrastructure projects. It requires carrying out a multi-decade long plan in order to see any results and they're actually gutting people researching this stuff right now.
SpaceX currently only has over 10000 people, with over 60% Latin American blue collar workers. What can it build? Providing them with a million tons of building materials on Earth may not necessarily lead to the construction of cities of any size, let alone Mars.

ULA's survival really depends on starship not working, SpaceX never figuring out what a kick stage is or god forbid an expendable Starship is actually developed.

I almost want to see few expendable starships just to prove a point.

>>16696111
F9 + Mira (or whatever impulse space is doing) is probably cheaper than Vulcan
at the very least there should be some cadence as long as impulse space starts manufacturing the kick stages

You know they did all that without computers and automation, right? They even did the math by hand. This is like saying we can't colonize Mars because unlike colonizing America where 90% of the population were farmers, only 1% today are. You're arguing from analogy. Your fundamentals are stupid.

Also some of these homes are for SpaceX's top engineers, who wont settle for a shit apartment. They mostly have wives and a family in tow, they expect a gorgeous, secured home, and a top-notch school is being built across the street to match.
Its not shitty, unless you're an easily replaceable equipment operator, technician, or tradesman.
These are home for the people who are NOT replaceable.

An established moon base and perhaps even a basic (partially or fully automated) industrial base in the asteroid belt would make much more sense as prerequisites.

Why did the Soviets cancel the N1? Were they just in the Space race for glory and not for the advancement of human kind?

>>16696239
I've been looking at this system scratching my head for a few days especially since the picture they give of the disk in this article looks to be inclined more like 7.6 degrees rather than 76 degrees assuming they corrected the rotation of the image, so I'll take a look at the paper they reference to see how exactly they determined this.

Originally I was just looking at any F-type standard stars since I was already interested in them to begin with, but this one looks to be a very interesting and possibly underrated star to talk about.

>jovian mass gas giant exoplanet
>artists impression just makes a blue-colored jupiter
>in this case literally just throwing a blue atmosphere shader or blue tint over the base color of jupiter (kek)
>despite being far too warm for methane absorption spectra
Every time. Sure looks nice, but even assuming a near-polar orbit of this planet at 76 degree inclination, equatorial regions will still look to be about twice as warm as on Jupiter at around -80c while the polar regions heat up to around -60c according to the simulations. So methane bands couldn't even exist at the equator here, the planet still receives too much energy from the star.

>Aerobraking passes at 1 week/second time warp. There is no trickery here - we are simulating all of the parts outside of the atmosphere with Kepler, and all of the parts inside the atmosphere with full physics.

>>16696303
>equatorial regions
Assuming the best-case scenario that the obliquity of the planet isn't perpendicular to its orbital plane (same as the disk) here, otherwise there's still no chance if it has a near polar orbit with the corresponding axial tilt.

NASA's exoplanet catalog appears to just throw orange paint onto a Jupiter texture for this planet, so that's more realistic as a hypothetical visualization at least. It also shows the same massive inclination for the orbit, and the HZ (though I don't know if that's tied to the planet in this graphic or if it is tied to the overall orbital plane or the obliquity of the star, and it really makes me wonder how they got that inclination value if there is no data for what angle the star is even supposed to be upright).

>>16696293
It was because glushko got in control of the soviet space program and he hated korolev. Multiple engineers involved with the N1 said that these two men would rather america get there first than the others rocket.

>>16695913
It's our best guess. Vertical scale is exaggerated though.
>>16695941

>Assessing the massive young Sun hypothesis to solve the warm young Earth puzzle, Dec, 2006

>A moderately massive early Sun has been proposed to resolve the so-called faint early Sun paradox. We calculate the time-evolution of the solar mass that would be required by this hypothesis, using a simple parametrized energy-balance model for Earth's climate. Our calculations show that the solar mass loss rate would need to have been 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than present for a time on the order of ~2 Gy. Such a mass loss history is significantly at variance (both in timescale and in the magnitude of the mass loss rates) with that inferred from astronomical observations of mass loss in younger solar analogues. While suggestive, the astronomical data cannot completely rule out the possibility that the Sun had the required mass loss history: therefore, we also examine the effects of the hypothetical historical solar mass loss on orbital dynamics in the solar system, with a view to identifying additional tests of the hypothesis. Planetary and satellite orbits provide a few tests, but these are weak or non-unique.

Some real bottom of the iceberg shit right there, has anyone talked about this study in the years since?

I want space totalitarianism.

>Isaacman said his plan, a blueprint of more than 100 pages detailing various actions to modernize NASA and make it more efficient, would have started with the bureaucracy. "It was going to be hard to get the big, exciting stuff done without a reorganization, a rebuild, including cultural rebuilding, and an aggressive, hungry, mission-first culture," he said.

Essentially, NASA experts of certain experiments would fly and conduct their own research.

>>16696469
>Isaacman's signature issue was going to be a full-bore push into nuclear electric propulsion, which he views as essential for the sustainable exploration of the Solar System by humans. Nuclear electric propulsion converts heat from a fission reactor to electrical power, like a power plant on Earth, and then uses this energy to produce thrust by accelerating an ionized propellant, such as xenon. Nuclear propulsion requires significantly less fuel than chemical propulsion, and it opens up more launch windows to Mars and other destinations.
>"We would have gone right to a 100-kilowatt test vehicle that we would send somewhere inspiring with some great cameras," he said. "Then we are going right to megawatt class, inside of four years, something you could dock a human-rated spaceship to, or drag a telescope to a Lagrange point and then return, big stuff like that. The goal was to get America underway in space on nuclear power."
>Another key element of this plan is that it would give some of NASA's field centers, including Marshall Space Flight Center, important work to do after the cancellation of the Space Launch System rocket.
>"Pivoting to nuclear spaceships, in my mind, was just the right thing to do for the SLS states, even if it's not the right locations or the right people. There is a lot of dollars there that those states don’t want to let go of," he said. "When you speak to those senators, if you give them another kind of bar to grab onto, they can get excited about what comes next. And imagine an SLS-caliber budget going into building, literally, nuclear orbiters that could do all sorts of things. That’s directionally correct, right?"

Fuck we really were going to get serious about nuclear propulsion under Jared.

>Does steel function better
depends on the grade, but this happens to any metal eventually because of defect migration. steel also has issues with oxide penetration into the bulk that aluminum doesn't, especially with any exposure to moisture or trace amounts of acid, both of which are unavoidable with human habitation

>>16696603
Steel is less susceptible to fractures, and also much more repairable. You can bang it back into shape good as new with the right tools. Scrap aluminum has to be recycled to liquid metal.

>>16696670
First episode seems ok. It's like a noir in space I guess? You wouldn't know it's star wars. The eponymous Andor basically murders two guys in cold blood then runs off, then it expands to follow other characters as well such as the space detectives investigating the crime. Seems ok
Apparently there's Stellan Skarsgard as an imperial scientist I think who is a protagonist, might be cool

You can train your algo, clear it out in history if its filled with slop and in the future make sure you're only clicking on videos you're interested in and watching them to the end (biggest factor of the algo imo) - you can open several tabs, mute the videos and just play them till the end

>>16697092
Roughly 120 years. Half the world already has internet. Other half is mostly poor who have avg family size of 6. That would take ~120 years of orders to fulfil. But likely, of the 4B that isnt served, only 10% of them would be able to realistically get internet today due to economics factor. So that gives roughly 12 years of continuous cycle.

Iran's nuclear bomb program was destined to be stopped, so I have a plan B for them.
Shift your nuclear ambitions from bomb-making to creating the most vile, super radioactive isotopes man has ever known. Make the dirtiest dirty bomb the world has ever seen, and launch these radioactive gems at Tel Aviv. When the Jews shoot it down with their BRILLIANT defense system, they will have succeeded in salting their own residents with widespread toxic fallout, essentially making the Jews kill themselves IF they choose to shoot them down.
If the Palestinians cant have their land... YOU CAN'T EITHER. Fucking kikes.

Sigh. I remember when Starlink was still in the planning stages Musk saying it was safe to invest in because they would make it a top policy to never get involved in other nation's affairs. Now he's putting a huge target not only on Starlink but also on his own physical body.

I mean the thing is, theres currently not really a huge market for Starship-sized payloads. Thats why Musk is pushing hard for it to use Starlink.
And yes I'm aware of K2Space and Vast, but those are both literal startups, not established markets.
Keyword being currently.
ULA can probably survive for a couple years after Starship is operational, probably through essentially government subsidies, but a fully fleshed Impulse + Starship architecture will be the next reckoning for the space launch market after SpaceX killed the smallsat market.

As I have predicted several times, the Starship revealed itself to be the new N1.
The entire ship is a huge failure that will never be able to suceed, not even the test launches.

>>16697588
Well then you are a fool. A more apt comparison would be other failed space planes like Shuttle or Buran

>>16697589
At least the space shuttle had some sucessfull mission, the starship can't even surpass the test phase.

>>16697386

>>16697646
Would powerful lasers actually leave an ionization trail? Interesting, I have never considered that

>>16697645

Earth to Earth suborbital hops are not spaceflight. They, of course, know this. They just NEED to bang their nationalist drums on /sfg/ of all places.

>>16697662
I just did a suborbital hop with an apoapsis of 1.5 feet and a total flight time of 1 second.

>>16697654
absolutely! during the Star Wars era, they even experimented with this and it became a dead end for the largest laser weapons: the ionized air and water vapor blocked all but the initial part of the laser pulse.

>>16697669
Interesting. I take it the way to overcome this is to just build an even bigger laser?

>>16697669
If you wanted to do breakthrough starshot would you want an earth-based laser, or something like energia-polyus. A giant laser that sits in space and can propel tiny crafts (or destroy enemy ships lol)

Only actual autistic people will be interested in this

>>16697678
no, that's actually pretty cool and I'm not autisitic. I think.

>>16697671
I think the last thing they were researching (before the Star Wars funding ran out) was pulsed and dual-wavelength lasers. Initial pulses to clear the way for the second laser, at a frequency chosen to be transparent for the ionization.

Why the fuck would Israel care about the "cost" of such a system? In times like these, you cant put a price tag on Jews!
They have no knowledge of such things, the American deficit spending will pick up the tab! So, why not taunt Iran a little more? A little more? Also, a great time to surprise attack Palestinians and take that land while nobody is looking. That oceanfront property is looking good! Also, the West Bank real estate megaproject should be completed

Israel is hitting whatever too. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. They started the shit, they have no fucking right to complain.

>>16698071
zionists killed nuclear scientists and military generals.
I hope iran manages to do much, MUCH worse than that.
hell, they should have spammed some drones or sent them in containers, a la ukraine in russia...

>>16698071
Israel hit residential areas early on as a means of assassinating high ranking Iranian officers via airstrike. Everyone left in the Iranian chain of command is bunkered up deep enough for that to be ineffective, so they've moved on to hitting nuclear targets and the surface elements of Iran's Cheyenne Mountain-style ballistic missile vaults.

>>16698078
Spare me the hasbara.

here's an idea for iran: a ballistic cluster bomb rocket that spreads bomblets when they explode at certain altitudes/locations, on impact or when hit. that way, interceptor missiles would be worse than useless: they would help to spread the bomblets.
israel has used cluster bombs in the past, so they shouldn't complain about it when the bomblets explode killing random zionists at random times.

>>16698085
Alternatively

>>16697995
thank you for your service

>>16698029
I prefer rocks from Grok

>>16698085
The missiles Iran is currently using all have smaller warheads than the V-2. Something in that size class that spreads bomblets at altitude might as well be dispensing hand grenades over an area dozens of miles across.

>>16698092
You're already dying no matter what, door is locked. No landing gear.
You have 3x solid rocket motors, each burn for 10 seconds with 587lbf. If you went vertical and burned each motor one at a time I wonder if you could have set the altitude record. Jet aircraft were barely a thing at this time, your rocket motors would make you an explorer (briefly, before death lol)

OR maybe iran should clone spacexs ideas: make smal reusable rockets and spam warheads like crazy...

>>16698096
well, yeah. that's the point of cluster bombs, as far as I understand: to cause long lasting terror.

>>16698104
rapidly reusable ICBMs kek

>>16697757
>piss filter

>>16698104
>>16698105
Problem with that idea is that during a war you seldom have a landing zone to rtls to.

>>16698108
true, I realised this after posting.
maybe automate the process of catching the rocket with chopsticks, loading fuel and warheads or something, I dunno. would be hard but hey, they could try.

actually, could this be done for small sats? like, sats launched from small reusable missiles?

>>16698111
Hate to break it to you but your entire tower and tank farm is getting lit the fuck up, unless you have complete aerial superiority (which, for reference, even Isr doesn't have right now)

>>16698104
Dropping even a hundred grenade-sized weapons into an area of a few hundred square miles isn't going to cause any terror, lasting or otherwise.

>>16698113
it's the japanese balloon bomb project but much less efficient

>>16698112
right, I'm dumb

maybe just hide them deep in bunkers or something..
anyway, I was just giving ideas.

>>16698113
I'd guess most of those rockets are intercepted near surface. also, wouldn't the surface they spread over be a function of the angle they are falling at AND the angle the bomblets themselves spread at? maybe the bomb could be designed to spread bomblets like a shotgun spreads its pellets

>>16698049
