It was easy bait for him to take given that the proposal placed it in the same place as Starfleet's academy in Star Trek. Main thing to keep in mind is that this isn't an actual Pentagon plan, it's something a couple of retired officers came up with.
The location is bad for many physical security reasons. They picked it because, beyond the Star Trek stuff, they think they'd be able to tap into the tech talent of the Bay Area. Being integrated into the culture of that area is the last thing the military is going to want for a service academy.

>Michael LaValle and DeVan Shannon, both former Army officers, suggest the establishment of a comprehensive military academy akin to West Point, aimed at equipping future officers for the swiftly changing dynamics of contemporary warfare. Their vision, known as the “Frontier Academy,” is set to be located near Silicon Valley at the Presidio in San Francisco. This site historically functioned as an Army post and, interestingly, served as the fictional home of Starfleet Academy in Star Trek.
>LaValle and Shannon contend that the existing U.S. military academies are sluggish in their adaptation and fail to incorporate innovations from the private sector completely. They propose that an academy close to tech giants such as SpaceX and Google would enable students to participate in military reserves while engaging in the private sector, thereby establishing an essential connection between military and civilian technological progress.
>The proposal emphasizes insights from Ukraine and Israel, showcasing how young leaders in cyber and robotics assume significant military responsibilities at younger ages. In contrast, the U.S. does not have a clear framework for cultivating young, tech-savvy military leaders.
>Although the Air Force, Navy, and Army academies have incorporated cyber and space programs, LaValle and Shannon argue that establishing a dedicated academy is essential to leverage technological innovation for the future of warfare fully.

On paper yes but they've only got 3 statues to their name and none of them use titanium. They also wouldn't actually use only titanium and instead would have a steel structure inside with a only a titanium shell.
Also note the complete lack of any real images outside of the three finished statues.

Clearly from the clips that aren't, those three statues are real and they did actually make them, but the shop as a whole is extremely amateurish. These guys don't know how to run a business or an efficient studio and this project would 100% destroy them before they finished.

If they really wanted to honor SpaceX, they'd use the same stainless steel as Starship instead of the type of meme material the company typically rejects or at least minimizes.

I'm up in Seattle unfortunately. I'm an OG Starlink employee who worked from the early development years up through 2021. Took a few years off and then went to work for Kuiper before deciding that shit was an unbelievable joke. Now I work for a local startup that's also insane and retarded but at least they pay me decent and don't make me work 16 hour days. Stoke wanted me to come work for them recently but I turned them down because they told me they were "trying to work DOWN to 80 hour weeks". At this point I might jump back in just to help kill Spacex out of spite. Maybe starting a family will have to wait a few more years...

They're not done but they're destined to become nothing more than a telecom company. Starlink will pay the bills and continue to grow for a few more years, launched by a dwindling but increasingly reliable fleet of F9s. Eventually, Starlink will be outcompeted by Kuiper (god forbid) or some other new startup and Spacex will be relegated to the status of "legacy contractor".
The dream of Mars colonization is dead. It has been for years. At best we will see Chinese boots and flags planted in 20 years.

We're not in a simulation. This is baseline reality. We won't overcome the great filter due to human corruption and greed. We will get another ai winter. We will reduce our energy consumption and production to slow climate change. American and Chinese space industries will lose interest in developing large reusable rockets. Elon Musk will slowly age and pass away, resulting in his companies losing their drive and focus. We will have more regulation that will stifle innovation and start ups.

Is this actually true or not? I keep hearing about this and based on just putting a light source with the temperature of an incandescent bulb in a 3d scene and cranking up the luminosity stupidly high kind of gives me that impression but I was never able to accurately test it because programs like Blender are a shit and don't work well with astronomically high values for distance and light, and Space Engine & Universe Sandbox are toys in the department of accurate light colors.

Does it look like this? The way it's always drawn? A dim, baleful red sun rising enormously over the horizon its wretched planets?
No it looks like a normal white star with a hint of red around the edges.

if I had to guess, this will not have an impact, the general trajectory has not changed and SpaceX has no real competition right now in launch or satellite broadband even if kuiper has had one launch

this is a nothingburger, SpaceX will fix the test site in a month or two and launch S37 and S38 and then switch to Block 3 and keep launching
its the middle of June now, the first Block 3 will launch by the end of the year or start of next year, so there is still like 6 months before that
masseys fix takes 1-2 months that still gives 4 months to launch the final block 2 stacks
this might actually not effect the timeline at all

haven't they made some kind of commitments to hire locally a lot
but this could be just a freak accident like with AMOS-6 COPVs
something weird new happening that they know how to prevent in the future

Procyon A is weird. Despite being 1.478-1.5ish solar masses, it is already appears to be in the subgiant phase despite models predicting a 1.5 solar mass F-type star to have a lifetime of 3.75 billion years, yet estimates put Procyon A as being less than 2 billion years old. Assuming the model is correct, it would need to be closer to 1.9 solar masses initially and have shed about 0.5 solar masses to get to where it is now.

Also, why not just downsize the payload, and rocket size and make many of them for a Mars mission?

Crazy how aside from one successful hop landing and the catching of super heavy (which granted is a great feat) spacex is still at the same place they were in 2020. It’s been five (5) years yet the same failures are keeping the program stalled. We were watching tanks hop and pop and explode during the pandemic. Maybe someone higher up at spacex can suggest they actually try iterating with their iterative program?

Hardware rich development is fine if you can mass produce hundreds of engines and your rocket hull can be contructed in an open field. But if your rocket is exploding and destroying critical infrastructure that can't be mass produced in a factor, suddenly you have issues.
I completely expected something like to happen btw. Rockets exploding is fine in orbit, but not so fine when it's happening to your launchpad. Even when SpaceX is able to produce dozens of Starships a year, if 1/20th of them explode on the launchpad or fail the tower catch, that's months of delay irregardless of how fast you can produce new rockets.
It's just the testing site today, but we will eventually see a launchpad go up in flames and a failed catch. Artemis III by 2035?

The booster is an empty tin can.
It would not be so bad if it exploded on the tower / pad while landing.
Before launch full stack explosion would absolutely melt the entire launch site to the ground though.

I don't understand why they can't just build and slap an adapter on Pad A and put Starship on top of it. We have seen them improvise shit all the time like the Raptor dance floor and disposable hot stage adapter. Would take no longer than a week to construct something that could adapt Starship to the normal pads rather than rolling up and down the road to masseys every fucking time. Would save a lot of time in the future too

So having dozens of launches a year isn't feasible until Starship gets F9 tier reliability. When you're launching and catching that often, even slight chances of RUD on both takeoff and landing means that you're gonna roll snake eyes eventually. And of course, the sheer size and scale of Starship, the way SpaceX is pushing the performance of the engines and the fact that the design isn't even fully finalized yet, means that it's probably gonna to be decades before Starship is anywhere near the reliability of the F9.
Good thing that Lunar and Mars missions using Starship don't need 15+ refueling missions that has to be conducted within a period of weeks to avoid excessive fuel boil off... oh wait.

Even a minor explosion will result in lots of damage to the tower, moving parts+the engineering complexibility needed to support Superheavy means that minor damage will still take it out of commission for a long while.

The point is that Starship by it's very design, development process, scale and size is gonna to be prone to failing more often than other rockets. Same for the tower catch. And again, due to said scale, them exploding or failing the landing is gonna cause alot more damage. A fully fueled Superheavy+Starship stack exploding will be legit a mini-nuke.

Yes? They have to order/build new tanks, basically replace a whole facility and infrastructure that got nuked.
Giving Starship a way to use Pad A and Pad B would be 1000x easier of a solution right now than rebuilding Masseys. Plus the road closures and the fact that compared to Masseys Pad A is literally indestructible

No, it's a consequences of Elon's "hardware rich development". Again, you can pump out rockets from a factory by the hundreds, you can weld together stainless steel plates in open fields. But there's always gonna to be bottlenecks somewhere, and that somewhere is gonna to be launchpads if Starship keeps exploding at this rate, especially if Elon continues to push for more and more launches.

Pretty sure at least one of the tanks outside exploded. There is a reason that all the large vertical methane and oxidizer tanks around Pad A were turned into small horizontal ones behind a concrete blast shield

He only said block 2 would fix the nonexistent payload to orbit issue
We clearly see the leaks come out of both the raptor2 seams and the aft attic, both of which don't exist on Block 3.

I don't know man those tanks look pretty fucking close to the explosion. I think it is time to test Starships on Pad A and later B as well. It's not like they are testing that many different ships in tandem these days anyway, capacity is hardly an issue

it hasn't been the same leak
7 was a oxygen/fuel leak above the ship engine firewall (so in pipes leading into engines)
8 was a leak in the engines themselves
9 was a propellant leak probably (not known where yet) with autogenous pressure loss
v3 will solve flight 7 problem by not having a firewall/area where pressure can build up, but would not automatically solve the leaking issue in the pipes, they have to solve that anyway for block 3
8 is again a problem in the v2 raptors and at this point I think it is unknown if that is a problem that is inherent to v2 raptors or something that might be a problem for v3 raptors as well
9 again some other leak, might or might not be fixed "automatically" with block v3s
if anything v3s will be longer with longer propellant vacuum jacketed pipes
the COPV failure has nothing to do with V2 or V3 either I'm pretty sure
so 3/4 problems will have to be solved with or without moving onto raptor 3 I would think

it also gave more credibility to the programme at the time, starlink wasn't really that mature then
not sure if the credibility or money is really needed now but it wasn't possible to know how well or quickly starlink would succeed
SpaceX got the initial award in April 2021 (before litigation and so on from bezos) but the competition was started in 2019
starlink was far from a guaranteed success at that time

I think this is the highest resolution official render of CZ-10 we have yet kek.
According to the official planning
>In flight abort test of the CZ-10-launched Mengzhou
>Low altitude (hopper) test of CZ-10
are still planned for this year. However the main launch infrastructures at pad 301 of Wenchang and its associated dual VAB aren't nowhere ready for a launch this year.
Former could use a solid rocket or a CZ-5B, later may use one of those makeshift launch pad that were used for the test flight of the CZ-12A prototype a few months ago.

Mengzhou/Next generation crew capsule is just an older project than CZ-10.
They've been working on Mengzhou since early-mid 2010s, flew a subscale tech demo in 2016 (top left) then a full scale prototype to High earth orbit in 2020 (top right).
Meanwhile the CZ-10 architecture as we know it (before it was a more direct CZ-5 derivative with a different lunar architecture, bottom left) only dates from 2018, then because of the internal rivalries within the Public aerospace sector (Crewed spacecrafts are only made by CAST, but launchers are made by CALT, SAST, CASIC... see bottom right) they had to do an internal selection process over various launcher designs by different bureaux/subsidiaries. Full and exclusive start of CZ-10 dev probably only started in 2020.
Right now it is largely speculated that the ground infrastructure at Wenchang is the long lead item for CZ-10 and the reason why the maiden flight was delayed from late 2025 to 2026, and now speculated to be late 2026

COPVs are gay anyway.
Make them out of stainless like the rest of the rocket and then you can have the beaners bang on them to their hearts content without breaking.
Dispensing with aerospace procedures and hyper caution is good m actually

Any rupture of a 300 atmosphere containing man sized pressure vessel is gonna break shit.
You need to prevent the rupture by making the vessel out of reliable material like stainless steel.
CF is unreliable if you don't handle it right.

The wenchang construction teams (there are several, notably one under CALT, and another under the PLA) seem to hit some delays nowadays, the Hainan Commercial pads had a good year of delay and still faces infrastructure problem after their inaugural launches, there may be general problems with the teams there, also seaside construction in a jungle with regular typhoons may not be easy.
By contrast launch pads spring up like mushrooms in Jiuquan, Space Pioneer and Landspace's just got operational with two more in advanced construction, and CASC apparently started construction on a CZ-12/12A/12B (Zenit/F9 size) pad with the goal to finish it in only 5 months from groundbreaking; Haiyang (Shendong) is also quickly growing with 3 new "pads" (CZ-12A test infrastructure which according to a recent announcement will be reused for future launches, Space Epoch's and a new multipurpose sea launch platform) becoming operational since the start of the year.

IMO if these aren't assessed and rectified then there is absolutely no reason to assume that V3 ship will proceed any more smoothly. This is a people/organizational problem, not a gadget problem.

are you pretending not to know or do you not actually know?
they are different problems
are you the person that insisted that SpaceX was lying about the root cause of Flight 8 being different from Flight 7?
a COPV exploding has absolutely nothing to do with leaks in the raptor engine and could have happened during any flight if this same design was used
for instance the COPV that caused the loss of AMOS-6 had been used multiple times before >>16701808, the only difference was that they loaded somewhat colder helium
https://web.archive.org/web/20170216160231/http://www.spacex.com/news/2016/09/01/anomaly-updates
> In the short term, this entails changing the COPV configuration to allow warmer temperature helium to be loaded, as well as returning helium loading operations to a prior flight proven configuration based on operations used in over 700 successful COPV loads. In the long term, SpaceX will implement design changes to the COPVs to prevent buckles altogether, which will allow for faster loading operations.
there will be no new problems if you never try anything new and this can be seen by looking at what the rest of the aerospace industry has achieved compared to SpaceX

Blowing up another rocket and a critical testing facility seems kinda pressing. Makes you wonder what other spiders are hiding in the bedsheets.

another example of oldspace development methods used is Blue Origin, yet their second stages keep imploding
doing things fast is good actually
problems tend to prop up whether you do hardware rich iterative development or not

This time he is right though. There is no reason they shouldn't just adapt Starships to Pad A, at least for now. When have they ever needed to test a booster and ship at the exact same time? We are literally at least a couple YEARS away from that becoming a real problem

fundamentally different issues though. New glenn is minmaxxed to fuck, which is why the second stages in real life conditions sometimes collapse. Its because its a mature design (in CAD) being pushed too far.
SpaceX on the other hands does shit on the fly and makes hundreds of retarded decisions which add up. Starship is FAR from minmaxxed. It's famously dozens of tonnes overweight and gets heavier with each change. Useable paylaod of 16t to leo shoiuld tell you there is a problem.

not really comparable. one thing that the guys working on Saturn had was that a lot of them had come right through from the Redstone-Mercury days when they were blowing stuff up every week. all of that experience went into a project which had a really flexible budget and all the political support you could ask for. They did great work

>start over
Never and it doesn't make any financial sense to do that. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with Starship. Competent people would have taken her to orbit already. It's these boneheaded decisions, insufficient monitoring, and obsessions with mass savings that lead to the ship spiraling out of controlling and exploding when gently touched

Without the extreme mass savings, Starship looks to have a payload closer to the FH than the Saturn V. At that point you're looking at 30+ refueling trips for a Lunar/Mars mission...

It's irrelevant. The fact that Starship can be refueled (and even refueled using another planet's resources one day at that) and 100% reused makes it have a literal infinite budget. As long as it can make it to space with 0.00000000000001kg of extra payload on board then the system works.
>30 refueling trips
Yes, and it takes about as long to do as refueling 3 ships if you actually start mass manufacturing swarms of ships to rendezvous instead of exploding one every month on earth. There's literally no risk, there is only 1 of these 30 ships that has people on it

Anon, in Musk's official starship plan, 1,000 starships are sent to Mars at once. If 1,000 ships at the same time is expected, then 30 at the same time is not that weird
>>16702777
At least in the beginning, a little bit of fuel is literally the payload. Any amount of payload is payload, you just need to build more ships. Additionally, nobody has even built a payload that Starship can use. For reference, even Falcon Heavy gets jack shit to do, and even then the only reason it is used is typically for special orbits, NOT because the payload is heavier
>BUT MUH STARLINKS
Starlink 2.0 minis have kept the company running so far, and I can assure you no matter how underwhelming of an amount of Starlinks a heavy beefed up Starship will carry, literally no other company will have as many laser links in 100 YEARS as SpaceX has in orbit today.

That place could tank Hiroshima if it really wanted. The tanks are low, far, and behind several meters of reinforced concrete ramps. The pad itself is bolted by steel and concrete deep underground, practically the whole top 15 meters of the ground there is completely artificial and bolted to the earth. The piping and connectors are hidden under literal blast doors. The tower itself would shred an airliner like a cheese grater with hardly a scratch.
If Starship exploded on Pad A or Pad B, the holddown clamps would be gigafucked, but that's just about the only thing, and those are replaceable. Reminder this whole thing is designed to survive a whole fully fueled superheavy and starship detonating without ending the program

Designing a spaceship is a massive undertaking that goes way beyond just sketching a cool concept. It involves thousands of engineers, scientists, and specialists working together to tackle insane challenges—propulsion systems, life support, structural integrity, thermal protection, and more. Each part has to be tested to the extreme, and even then, failures like explosions can happen. I can provide insights, analyze data, or suggest ideas, but the actual design? That’s a human team effort, with people like those at SpaceX iterating through trial and error to push the boundaries. Respect to them for keeping at it despite setbacks.

All things considered, i was afraid the tank farms would be damaged, but they look okay for the most part other than the charring. Even the two container offices look to be fine aside from charring. There's probably some smaller damages to metal pipings but Im not expecting much damage tbqh. The main damage is the stand itself, atleast the top part of the stand.

Also, you don't really need to risk them at all if you think about it. You can just cover the clamps with the adapter ring that connects starship to Pad A, that way the adapter takes the brunt of the damage instead of the complex clamps. Just don't use the clamps at all. Starship doesn't have very many engines for them to be necessary, as shown by the test stands

Is it the V2 rapture engines that is causing all these failures lately? If so why do they not scrap them and avoid all the disastrous PR? They clearly don't work and the V3s are different and already being made, so just scrap them instead of using them up for the sake of using them.

No, thermal cycling of the composites of a nitrogen COPV mad it microtear then inevitably rupture and the intense pressure blew a gaping that connected the LOX and methane tanks together so the fuels mised. A little bit of ignition and the whole thing detonated instantly

Lately I've gone back to doing retro hardware as a challenge, still got that itch to build my own computer (and I've avoided 6502 and Z80 because everybody and their dog does those)

Note that there haven't been any funding rounds for Spacex or talk of a Starlink IPO in almost two years.

Fucking Elon fanboys lol. This is a good wake up call for them. I have no idea why people are so eager to believe his promises. Even experienced engineers and journalists blindly eat his bullshit up. Reality is surviving re-entry is insanely hard and space agencies have been working for decades on the problem without much progress. You're rubbing up on the very limits of physics here, it's not so much an engineering problem as it is a material science problem. We already had this issue with the space shuttle, meant to be a lot cheaper and reusable, but the challenges of surviving re-entry turned it into a expensive, over complicated and dangerous launch system.
There's a reason why Starship is the one that keep failing, not Superheavy. Starship has a lot of finicky engineering compromises meant to save mass to allow for the heat tiles and help it survive re-entry. To the point where it can't even properly make orbit to test said heat tiles out. It's a really hard problem and I could easily see SpaceX spent a decade trying to make it work. There's a good chance that they might never make it work, they're not God, just because they had great successes in the past doesn't mean that they will magically succeed in everything that they do.
Even if they make it work, it's 100% gonna to be a lot more expensive, have less payload, more prone to failure and alot less impressive than what Elon has promised at the start. Just like the space shuttle. $100/kg to LEO, daily launches, 72 hours turn around time, point to point transport, thousands of people to Mars annually by the 2030s. It's insane that people blindly believe the shit that he says. When you're working on cutting edge tech like this, nobody knows what the final product is like, but people somehow think that it's already a guarantee that what everything Elon has said is magically gonna to be true. To the point of trying to make far reaching policy decisions based on his promises, like trying to cancel the SLS.

>>16703204
The gap is closing fast. With Starship stuck in development hell, China is just 1 F9 clone and 1-2 years away from catching up with SpaceX. I remember a year ago when posters here were blindly boasting about how Starship will be launching monthly by now, weekly by 2026 and widening the gap with China to an immeasurable degree as Starship launches thousands of tons to LEO and beyond every month. Not so smug are you now?
You can expect Chinese payload to orbit to skyrocket within a year, there's plenty more private rocket companies to come. If Starship keep shitting the bed, I fully expect China to surpass SpaceX's payload to LEO and launch rate within 3 years.
>>16703204
They're mere months away from trying. And they have advantages, lots and lots of companies that on the verge of debuting their rockets, it's not just a single company carrying the entire industry like with SpaceX. And some of the companies have designed their rockets to be reusable from the start, with methane as a fuel and engines that will allow the rockets to actually hover, not having to do a suicide burn like the F9 does, some are also trying tower/tether catch methods instead of using legs. The rockets that can hover; will have a lot easier time landing than the F9, to the point where I could see it happening within the first handful of launches, maybe even this year.
