Falcon 9 is not in any way a “simple” rocket. Even before reusability, it was the cheapest to manufacture, highest launch cadence and highest capacity (it’s technically a heavy class rocket). None of that is accidental and none of it was due to off-the-shelf development. All of it happened due to innovation and considered engineering.
English
I find this hilarious when the vast majority of rockets use existing technology, because that’s how this whole “engineering” thing works.
It’s no secret that Falcon 9 is a simple rocket, technologically speaking, it uses kerosene, has gas-generator engines, it’s really not too special during ascent. The fact that it lands the booster with pinpoint accuracy is what’s so special, and people will deflect and deflect to ignore this fact.
English
20 years is too long, because look back where Starship was 10 years ago or 5 years ago. If you project that forward another 10 years, progress for Starship is going to be extraordinary.
I do agree that if another company besides Blue Origin, wanted to replicate Starship it would take 20 years. SpaceX was able to heavily leverage Falcon 9 infrastructure and knowledge for Starship development.
English
@jade__42 @HeirTatsu Think how long it will take anyone else to make a fully reusable rocket, the size of the starship. Probably forever or no one will even attempt. Actually no one is even in the planning phase. What makes it unrealistic if SpaceX takes 10-20 years to do it?
English
I know this is just an in-depth overview, not an endorsement. But any belief in this design before a 10-year horizon is delusional.

Is Starship HLS really is a viable option for NASA and SpaceX to get humans back onto the surface of the moon for the Artemis Program? We'll go over why it's so tall, why it uses Methalox instead of hypergolic propellants, explain why it requires 15 or more launches for a single lunar landing and we'll even go over alternate options that could maybe simplify or speed up the process. 00:00:00 - INTRO 00:03:20 - OVERVIEW AND NEED-TO-KNOWS 00:16:30 - IS STARSHIP TOO BIG AND TALL? 00:35:40 - IS METHALOX THE WRONG PROPELLANT? 00:43:50 - WHY ORBITAL REFUELING? 01:20:30 - CHANGING TO LOW LUNAR ORBIT 01:35:40 - PROPELLANT SUPPLIES ON EARTH 01:38:25 - SUMMARY

@swyddog7 @SteveStuWill What about research into treating unwanted heterosexual attraction? So many people would be a lot happier if they were attracted to their own gender.
English
@SteveStuWill It's a shame there is no serious research into treating unwanted homosexual orientation

@constans > “That’s superstition”
It is all superstition. Humans are drawn to it. If it isn’t Christianity it is something else like astrology. Although one is significantly less hurtful than the other
English
People are drawn to Orthodoxy because it promises something “real” compared to the bullshit of the modern world. But then they don’t limit that desire for “the real” to a historically & theologically grounded faith but start claiming modern medicine is fake. That’s superstition

@stolphie Why are 10 of the 12 supposed trans women sporting facial hair?
English
is there any reason at all why everyone does literally everything in their power to make sure they dont accidentally draw a trans woman as just a regular girl

@jacksnack23 @_nomadic_soul Are both of these you? Classic another transphobe on HRT themselves.

@nattydoctor @_GirlSay You probably think men can be women too.
English
@_nomadic_soul Men are naturally wired to protect and provide for us, if we let them. We have more opportunity to stay home instead of wage slave. We get sympathy where men don’t get any. We don’t have to go to war. We don’t have to do the dangerous, physically hard jobs. Etc…

@kevindotcar @Abhinavstwt Agreed. When I looked at the segfault, I was surprised to see Linux as it is usually Windows. Although, it should be quite insane to do embedded Windows, there is a lot of history behind it.
English
@jade__42 @Abhinavstwt It's actually really cool to see linux in typically-MS environs, I'll say that - MS used to have their necks on the industry when it came to devices.

@kevindotcar @Abhinavstwt That’s is a memory error. The process tried to access memory that wasn’t allocated to it. Probably some type of pointer issue.

@thereisabeth The homophobes in the reply are hilarious, “there is a different way to have sex than PiV???”. According to them, it is impossible for lesbians to have sex. 😂
Yes, here is a hint, a trans and c!s woman having sex is like any other two women having sex.
English
almost every time I hook up with a cis woman I have to give them a little "fucking trans women 101" lesson bc so many people have such weird ideas about us and our bodies
hyz@hyzontopclipx
Hunter Schafer reveals some CIS women she hooked up with specifically wanted her to f66k them and “perform like a man” because she’s trans and has d66k, sparking massive debate online about sexuality, gender roles, and what people are really attracted to behind closed doors 👀💔 “And i’ve had hookups before but like Cis women were… they wanted me to like f6k them like a guy and it’s because i have a d66k and then like that coming up in a hookup, im like Oh God 😔,… it’s tough but then you would find people who would just get it”👀👀
English
Yes exactly. SpaceX will have thousands in place before anyone else has more than demo sats. And will be launching all almost of the rest. So what they say goes.
What this means is that a random GNC Engineer II, who is the RE for the AI constellation, will be deciding this for the industry.
English
Both are retrograde, just 180 phase difference, but I'm with you on the importance of standardization.
Can technically altitude separate and be very scrupulous about cleanup of dead sats, but costly and messy stuff that also reduces total capacity.
I assume the industry will settle on whatever SpaceX picks, so I'm not too worried, but happy to be in on the conversation if a conversation is happening.
English
There's a huge risk to orbital datacenters which I'm surprised I haven't seen discussed anywhere.
All SSO datacenter operators need to align their orbital direction: strictly prograde (dusk-dawn) or strictly retrograde (dawn-dusk). If even a small number of players decide differently from the rest then head-on collisions are essentially guaranteed. A single collision would release 40 tons of TNT, quickly turning this very special orbit into a debris field.
The good news is - the solution is very simple. There are few benefits of mixing dawn-dusk with dusk-dawn. Everyone just needs to choose dawn-dusk.
Starcloud is working hard to make this happen. DM me if you are a dawn-dusk SSO user and would like to help.
English
@dolljointsangel This is what we lost by the focus on gender and all the talk about it being different than sex. I think we should go back to talking about sex. Not being afraid to say that medical transition is about changing sex.

Had to explain to a couple of C!S FEMALE friends that my boobs were indeed real and that I was actually growing them. They thought estrogen didn't make you grow boobs. I asked them what they thought hrt did and they didn't give me an answer

I feel like most cïs people thing hrt does nothing and that we just take it to like “affirm our gender”???

I joined SpaceX almost 8 years ago because I was convinced that full reuse is the future of space transport.
We haven’t even made it to the space age yet. What we are doing now is brute force. Trains and automobiles didn’t become methods of transportation until they became reusable and reliable. Once this happens we will truly enter the space age and space transport will soar in popularity.
English
Here’s some free consulting: if your company doesn’t have a long term intention for full reuse, it’s not gonna make it without a hard pivot at some point. More hats will need to be eaten. This is incredibly obvious! You are not being clever!
Robotbeat🗽 ➐@Robotbeat
BTW, Starship making full reuse viable and economic is such a gimme prediction of the future. Like, i won’t even give you credit (when they do it) for having insight. Full reuse has been the clear long term path forward for 100yrs, & it has become obvious SpaceX will pull it off
English
Besides the obvious downsides, too large scope, integrated sat causes reduced iteration speed, but the tyranny of the rocket equation shows up here. Starlink sats perform as their own 3rd stage/kick stage. Falcon drops them off, just barely in orbit, and they are responsive for orbit raising to the correct orbit. This staging event means they don’t need to haul the heavy 2nd stage tank and engines, when using the >10x higher isp ion thrusters to orbit raise.
This kind of makes me think that they are going to be doing direct injection to final orbit. I don’t see how the mass savings from integrating the second stage, overcomes the mass penalty of not staging and direct injection.
English
An unsolicited view on Cowboy from a rigorous optimist perspective.
Vertically integrating behind this market is the right strategy if you 1) believe the market is much much bigger than it is today. Eg- needing terawatts. 2) believe you can legitimately pull off the full stack of rockets to ODC sats.
What I’d expect to see moving forward that’s not in this announcement.
- FCC SSO application.
- some partnership on launch vehicle (engines maybe).
- some partnership on Chips
launch vehicle needs some serious capital. 2028 timeframe on launch will slip substantially or has partner building the lower stage, or credible path to $2-$5B more dollars in the wings. my two cents.
a second purpose (not reusable) upper stage is interesting way to drive cost down. Purpose built launcher makes sense that it would be cheaper per kg to start. haven't done the math, so not sure how much cheaper.
if you've done the modeling on ODCs you know that chips are very important. the most important after breakeven $/kg launch is achieved.
I would have thought it would make more sense to vertically integrate in that direction (chips packaging) than in the launch direction.
good luck, Cowboy Space team. Looking forward to tracking your progress.

Today marks the beginning of a new era. Introducing: Cowboy Space Corporation. We are building orbital infrastructure for the AI era: a fully integrated system of rockets and satellites designed to deliver high-performance compute and optical data transmission directly from Low Earth Orbit.
English
@dmasten @Robotbeat Quote from Cowboy Space founder: “The architecture is optimized for mass efficiency and performance — not just reuse for its own sake.”
This has similar sentiment as ULA’s “smart reuse”. They aren’t going to make it.
English
Cowboy Space is trying to answer the question, if you are using SpaceX for launch how are you able to compete with them. So they are competing on launch, good for them.
But SpaceX invented semi-trucks, they can drop the trailer off at the datacenter. They are inventing a hyper-specialized box truck that needs to stay at the data center. They won’t be cost competitive.
English
OK space biz question; but first congrats to those involved on the big raise. Now 'splain this to me.
How does building a truck, filling the box/bed with computers, driving it to the datacenter site, parking it and leaving it there make for a more economical datacenter?
English
If you want a piece of that supply chain, work for SpaceX.
Or make something so specialized, high quality and annoying to make, that it isn’t worth it for them to make it. Although you better be both good and low cost, or they make it inhouse. For example ion thrusters, very specialized l, but still in-house due to unique requirements.
English
@CJHandmer I want a piece (any piece) of the lunar mass driver supply chain. Any suggestions on what to go after/when? And what announcements to be watching for, that would be indicative of a "green light" on the project as a whole?
English
In all seriousness the way to do that is to find all the people crazy enough to try this, then give them seed funding and impossible challenges and see what happens.
Casey Handmer@CJHandmer
The economy needs to produce more great CEOs so that supply and demand pushes down the price.
English
@AaronBergman18 Serious question. What do you hope to achieve with this? Most people seem to either disregard or actually actively disagree when told what being the opposite sex is like.
English
There’s a lot of writing on what it’s like to be a man or woman written sorta broadly for the opposite gender but afaik no serious project to convey this information extremely well and in a maximally rigorous way
That would be cool tho
English
@heshidicjudaism This is a future you problem. For the date, you don’t actually need to know her name. Just act normally, you will find you don’t need to use it. Which is why you forgot her name in the first place.
English
I have an evil problem which is that I’m going on a second date soon with a girl I had an awesome first date with but I literally can’t remember her name, we met on hinge and she has since unmatched me or deleted it and I just have her unsaved number in my phone WHAT TO DO
