@DuongLeHaiQuan OSHA disagrees with you little bro
“In Jan., OSHA hit SpaceX with seven serious safety violations for… not properly inspecting a crane before it collapsed at Starbase last June.”

@krypto_flower "potentially" is carrying your weight here, if they are sued then they are potentially liable anyway, yet no case like here has gone public as a success.
And a launch vendor would only have the OSHA quals to oversee the site, the firm has their own more relevant quals.

Another really sad incident at Starbase
There appears to be a major problem with the safety culture
TheSpaceEngineer@mcrs987
The rumblings about a death at Starbase of an employee under a contractor last Friday morning appear to be true. 4:16AM, about 2 hours before the already claimed time, I spotted an ambulance w/ emergency lights. All the cranes working on the gigabay stopped work shortly before this time stamp and work did not occur for several hours afterwards

@JaydenDrummond5 @ben_kyle478 @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs Considering laws are different, much more relevant than my profile pic.
“In Jan., OSHA hit SpaceX with seven serious safety violations for… not properly inspecting a crane before it collapsed at Starbase last June.”
But sure, tell me more about how SpaceX isn’t liable
English
@krypto_flower @ben_kyle478 @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs The country I'm from has any relevance? The same accidents happen here as over in America. Yes I do know more than I believe you too because I actually work in this field and have experienced these sorts of things first hand
English
@JaydenDrummond5 @ben_kyle478 @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs Ah yes, low IQ sentences and you’re from NZ but you’re the one that knows more. Okay 🤣
English
@krypto_flower @ben_kyle478 @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs I shouldn't debate something about an industry you have no idea about considering you have a crypto profile picture. These things happen in this industry more than you'd think this one's been highlighted and you think it's all of a sudden uncommon.
English
@JaydenDrummond5 @ben_kyle478 @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs Sounds like you think that SpaceX doesn’t have oversight and doesn’t participate in their own projects. That makes no sense.
Besides your nearly unreadable, run-on sentence.
English
@krypto_flower @ben_kyle478 @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs Besides being on their land you mean the current building project is out of bounds for SpaceX employees as well as they're not building their equipment SpaceX does that in house that's why the bay isn't fitted out yet and they're not directed by SpaceX at all just giving plans.
English
@ben_kyle478 @JaydenDrummond5 @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs Nothing to do with SpaceX. Besides being on their site, building their equipment, being directed by their employees… sureeee, nice try
English
@JaydenDrummond5 @krypto_flower @Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs A they were a third party contractor, with separate safety regulations, nothing to do with spacex. The company they worked for had their own safety regulations and were not required to follow spacex’s
English
@DuongLeHaiQuan You’re an idiot if you think SpaceX isn’t potentially liable for a death at their facility.
English
@krypto_flower They are working at a construction site <contracted to them> by SpaceX. SpaceX has no bearing or responsibility for the construction project's personell as that duty falls upon the hired corp.
Do you even work labour?
English
@Blaze_R935 @DrChrisCombs First of all, so what? They were working at SpaceX. Just because they were a contractor doesn’t absolve SpaceX.
Second, this is the victim. What about the people who caused it? Or is victim blaming your play here?
English
@DrChrisCombs Reports indicate it was a third-party contractor on the Gigabay work, not a direct SpaceX employee.
English
@elonmusk @Space_Station If it’s so routine, why does SpaceX still rely on NASA for preflight analysis of the docking trajectories? 🤔 Why isn’t it fully autonomous?
English
While we never want to be complacent about it, docking with the @Space_Station has become routine
SpaceX@SpaceX
Watch Dragon dock with the @Space_Station
English
@LionnetPierre @CommanderMLA Sarcasm.
This weird new requirement for space stations to be the first ever program that has to be funded and supported by commercial industry doesn’t make sense. Gov funding is the only reason commercial human spaceflight exists, still, since the 60’s
English
@krypto_flower @CommanderMLA Dragon flights are paid by NASA.
English
A commercial space station will not receive direct funding from governments as the current space station, so we have to find different revenue streams. Continuing science research will remain a key focus, but that revenue alone would not sustain a private space station. Axiom Station will diversify its income through a multi-pronged revenue model that can sustain the cost of operating a space station while simultaneously stimulating a commercial economy.
English
@LionnetPierre @CommanderMLA Without governments funding ‘commercial’ human spaceflight will not be sustainable. That’s why SpaceX Dragon Crew was a failure.
English
@CommanderMLA Without governments funding LEO ‘commercial’ space stations will not be sustainable.
English
@JFrankleKSC That’s why the Commercial Crew Program failed. They couldn’t figure out how to turn a profit. Barely any industry sales, just no interest. SpaceX Dragon was an absolute waste of money
Doesn’t that sound ridiculous?
English
Going to be very interesting to see how commercial space stations will stay afloat. Unlike the ISS, they will have to find some way to turn a profit in an environment where that is going to be very difficult to do. Steep initial cost and expensive upkeep are gonna be a rough ride

@SciGuySpace That’s a SLS-style quotes if I’ve ever heard one! 😂 Just wait a few more years. A couple billion more dollars. It will be better, I promise.
English
NASA wants to fly Artemis III next year. But the longer NASA waits to fly Artemis III, the better chance it will have to fly with a higher-fidelity vehicle—that is, one closer to landing on the Moon than being a basic prototype.

@elflemmardo @SpaceflightNow Ready is too loose a term though. “Ready” could mean that they just have an operational docking port but no life support. Which would be only slightly better than the A2 proxops demo that they did as a side quest.
English
@krypto_flower @SpaceflightNow Artemis III will launch when at least one of them will be ready
English
In an update from NASA this morning, the agency outlines the following for Artemis 3:
• The SLS rocket will use a spacer, not the ICPS upper stage
• The mission will be LEO only; no high Earth orbit
• Astronauts "could potentially enter at least one lander test article"
• Artemis 3 will be longer in duration than 9 days
• Upgraded heat shield demonstration
Remaining unknowns include:
• Launch date/window
• Timeline for naming astronauts
• Precise orbit (altitude/inclination)
• Exact mission duration
• What science will be onboard
• Whether Artemis 3 will include AxEMU spacesuit-lander interface demo

Nobody has understood anything until a provider actually does it for real for long enough to prove it viable or not.
Right now this is everyone chasing the same hypothetical promise (the most well known example I can compare it to being the dot com bubble, BUT I need to explicitly say that I'm not implying the outcome)
English
Incredible how Elon understood this before everyone else. Again.

@charlesboyer @INiallAnderson It was, indeed, impossible. Okay, now SpaceX prove me wrong. I want to see launch tomorrow. Chop chop

@INiallAnderson Never tell SpaceX something is impossible. They will move heaven and Earth to prove you wrong.

Starship Flight 12 now has a NET of May 12 via the latest FAA advisory as well. Remember, SpaceX has a lot of testing to conduct before a launch date becomes real, but it's certainly looking hopeful for sometime in May.

@sts1251 @HipernovaStar @DJSnM Wait, you think that NASA has requested reproduction of parts of a mockup that they already have possession of? Which building is this NASA astronaut training mockup at? You have proof or are you just making things up?
English
@krypto_flower @HipernovaStar @DJSnM We’ve gotten some official signs of its existence including some NASA contract requests for reproduction of some elements from it.
English
We’ve seen photos of this for a long time, but never any acknowledgment from official sources. Because of course Blue Origin likes to keep things quiet.
SpaceX projects go public sooner, we’re told.
So, where’s the photos from inside lunar starship’s training mockup?
NASA Marshall@NASA_Marshall
A full-scale prototype of the crew cabin of Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 2 crew lander is now operational for training and testing at @nasa_johnson! Read how we will be using this crew cabin for simulations to prepare for future Artemis missions >> go.nasa.gov/42jHkRw
English
@sts1251 @HipernovaStar @DJSnM Ah yes, trust me bro. Or maybe you’ve seen it hiding under a blanket in building 9?
English
English
@GeorgeGA91 @DJSnM That’s not the point of this thread. Any company can throw together some random mockup. They don’t have a representative flight mockup that astronauts are training in. It is a problem considering that astronauts are supposed to use it for A3 next year.
English
@krypto_flower @DJSnM They have mockups, and just wait until the gigabays and the rest of the towers are avaliable
English
@fakecarlsagan @hereami777 @DJSnM I’m confused, it sounds like you’re trying to make this about something other than Starship not having flown hardware or even built a training mockup of the human part of HLS? That’s why I mentioned Apollo 5 had life support while Starship currently does not.
