>>17080832We will be a bigger rocket once there's solid plans for Mars. Once you have a good 5 to 10 years of reliable performance out of 9m starship. Then there has to be a really good reason to make to new launch pads and a new factory
>>17080837>a new factoryJust retool it

Surely the upcoming flight's upgraded raptor 3 will output more thrust... right?
>>17080928>this thing is supposed to keep going for an other 5 year

>>17080945It's just old, man. Isn't that one of the old Soviet parts?
>>17080964The test flights will continue until mass to orbit improves.
>>17080924wtf went wrong?
>>17080964It's spiritually 100 tons
>>17080872>>17080885Yeah, I find this kind of hard to believe unless the V3 vehicles are somehow a lot lighter than what many have been speculating. Or maybe he means that 230tf is what they think they need to run them at to maximize reliability and is implying that they've been running them at higher thrust levels than that on flights 12-14 and just accepting the higher risk of engine out? Dunno, I feel like this may be another "my car is currently orbiting Mars" type of post from Musk.
>>17080968Elon will insist he always ment short tons -- or freight tons.
Bloomberg says that Elon lied about the chip deal funding.
>>17080992What the words mean is that 230 is the point at which they start blowing up.
>>17081003meaning?
>>17080767>Any chance I can pick up a plushie of my wife?slim to none. Her plush was a backer only reward for funding the delivery to the ISS so I doubt anyone has sold it to a second hand store yet.

>>17080967its not that easy
>>17080928here's a thought: send a beanbag up there, then open it up and let the little styrofoam balls float around so that eventually one of the balls will get sucked into the hole that is causing the leak and thereby plug the leak solving the problem
>>17081070This isn't actually an engine-only reliability chart, but rather a systems reliability chart.
>>17081075found it on this extremely autistic sitenot sure what to make of it but he raises some good points and keeps the data up to datebernd-leitenberger.de/Starship-Teststarts.shtmltranslation may be an issue
>>17081076Well, he's at least partly wrong about things:>An engine fails on the ascent, two at the Boostback, after that it went from 11 to 5 engines on landing and the SuperHeavy strikes hard.The booster had a soft touchdown, but they triggered the FTS to destroy the booster. This was both to validate the FTS, and to dispose of the booster after landing it. They liked what they saw enough to try catching the next one.
>the following (with AI) happened Translated):
>>17080964>>17080926>>17080923So this is the new goalpost now that Starship has put payloads into orbit.
>>17081070>>17081076It is a meaningless chart because it treats an engine being shut off by a computer when it didn't need to the same as an engine blowing up.

So why is Elon doomposting about Raptor 3?
>>17081140You seem to be confusing the people questioning why SpaceX bothers to use the Raptor 3 with Elon simply stating a fact about it.
>>17081070I'll never forget how fucking stupid the first launch was. It just started tumbling because it was suppose to just yeet some how

>>17080885why? 230 is good. did you see >>17080873?
Why doesn't ULA go public? They have a great pedigree, and I've been reading about SMART reuse that could unseat SpaceX from the launch business
>>17081709Good one anon
>S43 got damaged somehowLooks superficial but how the hell does that even happen
>>17081759What damage?
>>17081765
>>17081768ULA sniper
>>17081768Huh. That kind of looks like a standing wave or shockwave got amplified at that spot and damaged the flap cover. Or something similar to that.
>>17081772Would make sense except that this is S43, not S42 that was static fired today. S43 was at pad 2 for some reason.
>>17081773That is weird. The only thing that could have done that is the chopsticks and SQD arm. How the hell did they manage that?
>>17081774May have been testing something using the chopsticks, dunno why else they rolled it to pad 2. Or maybe a contractor dropped his wrench.
>>17081553Well no, not really, you don’t understand what you’re making or whysoviets copied the shuttle and the shuttle was a useless waste of money.
>>17081652Little people planets
>>17081669They are just trying to create some N'Gumbuxga type of names for them, plese be patient
>>17081759>>17081768Looking at the footage of the rollout a few days ago, you can see that it left the bay like that. So probably no big deal.
>>17080735how can a living space with open sunlight and a sense of aesthetic beauty be designed for mars or the moon? domes? igloos? underwater habitats?
>>17081788When dealing with hard vacuum or low pressure, your only choice is a dome, but however big you were imagining it one second ago, that probably isn't big enough.
>>17081788the only acceptable answer is geofront
>>17081794Maybe a transparent ceiling under 10 meters of martian brine
>>17081799You'd have about 80% of visible light left, but 16% of stellar flux overall. Keeping the water clear would be a challenge, and any container, dome, or roof would need to be cleaned regularly to remove martian dust. You'd get a unique vista for sure, but I don't know if it would be compelling one — unless it leaked: then you'd definitely have a very uncompelling view and a serious problem.
Both the ship and booster have static fired.So where the fuck is the launch date?
>>17081803You have to ask the FAA for its consent
>>17081800it would be a plastic tent that we put up at Christmas through new years before going back to the compound
>>17081807I would like to see the tent that can support that much water overhead.
>>17080890it's acoustic instabilitythe engines are too small so there is too many of them
>>17081800even if it's not a clear sky the perception that the sun is there makes a lot of difference for our psychology

>>17081972they do 33 engine static fires
>>17081977damped by the water deluge systemsp the problem only manifests itself in flight
>>17081979The ground fire is still worse than any in-flight fire because the shockwaves rebound off of every hard surface and the ground around the launch pad. The only situations you can't get in ground testing but will encounter in space are resonance conditions that are otherwise dampened by the same mass holding it down.
>>17081972>doesn't know how many raptors are on a boosterkill yourself and gtfo my /sfg/
>>17081980>resonance conditions that are otherwise dampened by the same mass holding it downnow you have actually started thinking. good!there are other situations which you encounter in flight that can not be replicated either on the pad or in a test stand, like varying air pressure and temperature, to start with the trivial ones
>>17081981I don't actually give a fuck, you seeI can look and see that there are too many and that's enough
>>17081983I'm pretty sure the only one that actually matters and isn't adequately modeled with existing data is autogenous gas repress and turbulent propellant-gas mixing with low freezing point combustion products.
>>17081985> isn't adequately modeled with existing datathere is acoustic data?
>>17081984Get off my board, touristnigger
>>17081988Yes, lots of vibro-acoustic data from previous flights. It's one of the things that gets monitored with extra autistic closeness because it's just about the first thing they teach rocket engineers to watch out for.
>>17081990you won't see the convergence zones as they form, in generic vibro-acoustic telemetrynot like you can stick pressure sensors onto the engine bells either
>>17081991Sure you can. If you're clever, you can even put them inside the engines.
>>17081994I would like you to think about how my bugbear (sonic transients) might manifest as your bugbear (combustion instability)
>>17081998Nah. I am not convinced that Raptor 3 is suffering from any kind of combustion instability based on the existing flight dynamics.
>>17082006you're hypnotized by the data you do have, in other wordsI assert that sonic transients sometimes force the flame front back into the throat of an enginedo you have data that could disprove my assertion directly? (you don't)
>>17082011You think that exhaust flowing out of a nozzle will have lower pressure than... exhaust flowing out of a nozzle? Anon, I want you to find a single example in the entire history of rocketry where that happens without a preexisting engine shutdown.
>>17082016>exhaust flowing out of a nozzle will have lower pressure than...the pressure created by exhaust flowing out of many nearby nozzlessometimes, yesand then you get (thermo-)acoustic instability in the affected engine and then kablammo
>>17082025I remain incredulous. Do you have any examples of this happening before? I'll even take examples that aren't rocket engines.
>>17082027N1?skepticism is good, but do look into ithttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010218016300165
>>17082027https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010218016300165
>>17082038>>17082039>Because the downstream boundary conditions are not anechoic, the experimental results alone are not sufficient to unequivocally prove the presence of the flame mode from the experiment alone. Nevertheless, careful consideration of both the theoretical predictions as well as the theoretical findings provides convincing clues that the experimental instabilities are indeed caused by the presence of the intrinsic flame mode.Lets go ahead and assume he's right that this thermo-acoustic flame mode exists. The gas flow mode exists in the environment under the vehicle, which is effectively speaking, hard vacuum at staging altitude, save for residual flows from the remaining engines. Where, exactly, is a re-circulation supposed to happen here? Furthermore, why would it be clearly fixed by Flight 14 when the engine ignition sequences appear identical for the boostback and landing burns? Finally, this should manifest as a difficulty with retropropulsive engine ignitions, especially on Falcon 9's entry burn when they light one center engine, followed by two outer engines. It's an interesting bit of research, but I am not convinced of its applicability or existence here.
>>17082041the problem I'm talking about does not happen with the upper stage>Falcon 9's entry burn when they light one center engine, followed by two outer enginesthree engines is not enough engines to get to this sort of conditionsand, again, you're thinking of just one engine doing something odd. what actually happens, in my opinion, is waves from multiple engines interact constructively, like, think of them as oscillators, right? and sometimes their phases coincide (which they will just by virtue of interacting long enough) and bad shit happens
>>17082044This still leaves the question of why the problem did not exist on Flight 14, which poses the biggest challenge to this hypothesis.
>>17082046who says it didn't?one of the engines on the booster did shut down way before it was supposed tomaybe the instrumentation actually worked this time? like, again, I think of these as chaotic oscillators - you're sometimes going to see them do some wild shit before they shit the bed completely

what's this i hear about spacex no longer offering falcon 9 launch services for anybody?they're basically closing down falcon 9 launch business. is this true?
>>17082427starship is coming. there's no room for bitchass falcons.
>>17082432some say they're not even opening starship launch to customers even IF they get starship working.
>>17082123Elon Musk: "There will be so many Starship launches, the earth's atmosphere will be somewhere between 30 to 50% Starship. All of them Full Self Driving."
>>17082427>for anybodyThere isn't actually any demand for payloads that Falcon 9 can launch now, outside of their own (Starlink, Dragon).GEO/GTO is obsoleted by megaconstellations. No one else wants to launch megaconstellations with Falcon because they are butthurt (pic related). LEO payloads are primarily smallsats that you can rideshare (as opposed to a dedicated full satellite). Deep space probes are few and far between. I guess spysats are the only consistent customer payload.

For the AI data centers they have a projected life of about 5 years. Would there ever be some sort of second hand market for a star mind if some one makes a cheap refueling service for the station keeping part of the satellite? If it's cheap to refuel then it's basically free compute since the power is also basically free.
Can someone remind me why we are putting ai datacenters in space again?
>>17082596There's already been one or two companies testing satellite boosting services in the last couple years, haven't there been? One of them could do it probably.
>>17082598Elon's doing it because he thinks it's a good ideaHe thinks it's a good idea because it lets him spam compute infrastructure that he expects to be able to operate very profitablyHere spam means to produce very quickly because there are almost zero infrastructure requirements for operation and he expects to be able to produce and launch the hardware in large numbers
https://x.com/PebMet1/status/2115824045484859475who is this retard? some old NASA boomer?
>>17082608PebMets sounds like a faggot and I would take his lunch money as he cries about it.
>>17082607I get that he has brought down launch costs and he has a much closer understanding of the value proposition than me. but I just don’t see how building a complete data center with its own power generation and cooling infrastructure and then launching it into space is more profitable than building it and then not.
>>17082610You need a lot less infrastructure in space. You don't need fiber or water or power.You could use solar panels on the ground, but you would need batteries and a much larger array to compensate for the atmosphere, nighttime, weather and not being normal to the sunlight.You need very minimal structural components because you don't need to resist gravity.Heat rejection just requires a big radiator and a cooling loop.You need to manufacture and launch the hardware. If that costs less than manufacturing and installing the ground hardware plus the increased operating costs, then space data centers are cheaper.But even if it wasn't cheaper, you have to consider how the costs respond to the scale. Earth based resources will be harder to find and become more expensive as the scale increases. Launch costs and manufacturing costs will decrease as the scale increases.If you're planning to build 1 million data centers the scaling is much important.
>>17082598Solar scales faster than any other power source when you don't have to worry about capacity factor or batteries. Don't have to worry about buying land, environmental regulations, local opposition

Actual interesting payloads will go on NG with big fairing.
>>17082598because Elon is so bad at building AI models, he has given up on trying to compete with Sam Alternative-to-man on Earth. His cope belief is that OpenAI will hit a scaling wall somehow in terms of US infrastructure/energy/chips/bureaucracy on the ground, and thinks since he has the ability to launch cheaper than anyone else, he can start in-space infrastructure buildout instead and scale there, ultimately surpassing OpenAI's Earth-based compute, uninhibited by the wall he expects OpenAI to hit. This is all just cope and wishful thinking on Elon's part, though. For all we know the models themselves could just as easily hit a wall that scaling compute will never allow us to surpass, and then we will have a crash from compute overbuild (already likely in the best case anyway) and a very expensive, redundant compute constellation.No more Mars because a fag has a grudge against a gay fag
>>17082807luckily you never once interacted with him IRL
>>17082826How does it work if Elon is already selling compute to his rivals? I assumed they would be renting space shit.

>>17082869"We've gotten reports that you're attempting autogenous pressurization in there."
>>17082849So long as Elon is renting compute to anyone, as opposed to fully utilizing it internally for SpaceX's own models, it means they're already overbuilt.This is why Elon is effectively no longer selling rockets to customers. It's more valuable for SpaceX to use those launches for their own purposes, mainly Starlink, than launch some other fag's constellation, or launch NASA cargo/astronauts or the odd defense satellite.>>17082864This is Elon's hope too, and he may be right. And hopefully it happens sooner than later so he can focus back to what matters.

https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasa-explores-potential-commercial-servicing-for-hubble-telescope/>NASA issued a Request for Information Oct. 29 to learn more about industry capabilities for in-space servicing to support the agency’s Hubble Space Telescope.>Like all spacecraft in low Earth orbit, Hubble’s altitude is slowly decreasing over time because of atmospheric drag. Hubble does not have a propulsion system to maintain its own orbit, and analysis predicts Hubble is likely to re-enter the atmosphere in the 2033 to 2034 timeframe. As such, NASA anticipates that a mission would need to take place by 2032.Imagine if he awards it to SpaceX/Polaris so that once he's out of office he can command the mission.
wait, buzz aldrin isn't black? I always pictured him that way...
>>17083523You're thinking of Buzz Lightyear.
>>17083420>>17083421fucking BASED. My favorite part of the apollo missions is when they landed by the Surveyor and brought back parts and the tv camera from it.
>Friday night>Starlink mission>no postsYou guys don't even like spaceflight.
>>17083528I'm watching it right now
>>17083528yeah, and it is the big 700th launch of the Falcon 9!only 53 to go to match the record held by Soyuz-U
You don't need to throttle down for max Q. There, I said it.
>>17083532Depends on the rocket.
>>17083533has any other rocket ever had a structural failure at max q?
>>17083536Firefly Alpha, but that was just before breaking mach 1, and a controls failure as much as anything else. They were flying on three engines instead of four, and each only with single axis control.
>>17083536The only other two that are strictly attributable to structural failure at Max-Q are Mercury-Atlas 1, and Proton-K with Luna-8.
>>17083348I don’t need to describe why good things are good to a retard, i just laugh at them for not liking the good thing lol.Dumbass redditor thinks everything’s an “argument” that he can win.

Happy Halloween /sfg/, have a spooky spehs day.
>nsfhow are they going to deal with dozens or hundreds of launches a day?
>>17083755Nobody excitedly streams the launch of every airliner or the path of every train. They used to, though.
>>17083755By plugging dozens or hundreds of merch interruptions a day
>>17083759soon
>>17083760Enough launch patches to blot out the sun
First CZ-10A seems to be planned for January according to Wenchang rumors
