SpaceX Starship reaches for the stars. Complete success

[hadit]

It’s like saying we are trying to find out what type of concrete whales can live on.

They can’t. They evolved in the ocean to live in the ocean.

Do you still have a rotary phone? Asking for a friend. You literally can only see one way to do something.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail to you.

 

[hadit]

Not with any technology.

That you can conceive of.

SpaceX just pulled off an incredible success. Starship 10 was a 100% success.

Most people think the Starship is only for going to Mars. It is not.

This test is more than a launch and return to Earth.

We launched dummy satellites.
We hovered the 1st stage over the ocean
We returned the 2nd stage to Earth.
We? Yes, we cause I work for Space

No rocket exists that is this powerful, this big, that returns to Earth. There are many details of this launch that are not readily available to the public hence you do not know the entire accomplushments achieved.

AI answer;
Starship will launch the next-generation, full-size Starlink V2 satellites into orbit, which are significantly larger and have higher bandwidth than the current V2 mini satellites launched by Falcon 9 rockets. These large V2 satellites will offer increased data capacity and enable direct-to-cellular service for T-Mobile customers, a feature not available on the V2 mini satellites.

Maybe the next shot should be intercepting that incoming interstellar comet. I would love to see that.

Eliminating profits to investors will reduce costs.

Should you eliminate the return on the investment, you will also eliminate the investment at the same time. There is no free lunch, save in the imagination of the Socialist who believes things will just magically appear from nowhere without any effort or incentive to do so.

Just being real. Mars sucks. It’s not a place you’d want to live.

You’re watching too much TV.

That you can conceive of.

Look, we all want to fly around in jet packs and teleport to the surface of planets, but physics and reality are not consistent with the things you see on TV.

You can’t change the tyranny of the rocket equation. It’s physics. You can’t change it.

No, the surface of Mars is not a pleasant place for humans to live and won't be for thousands, if not millions of years. Underground, however, is a different matter. Broaden your vision of what is possible.

I don't have to. Assembling the Mars lander in orbit is a far different prospect than having to cram all the fuel into the rocket necessary to lift off the surface. That's just one advancement we're looking at.

Oh boy. Condemning humanity to go extinct in underground caves.

You watch too much TV.

The tests were done in the 50s and 60s. Are they reinventing the wheel?!

Yes. The rockets that blow up are testing a new method of heatshielding that doesnt require a 6 month overhaul when it returns. Currently we have to essentially redo the entire rocket when it returns. Once they figure out the new heatshielding method, we can send rockets back up right after they return, which saves 10's of millions of dollars and a metric shit ton of man hours.

It would be an excellent mission.

I dont know if Starship will do the qst SpaceX mission to Mars. Our first mission is an unmanned space craft in 2026.

 

[drudge X]

A realist would say that. Mars sucks.

Europa also sucks but that didn't stop exobiologists from questioning whether life can exist there.

 

[Marener]

Life could exist there, but if it does that life evolved to survive in those conditions.

We didn’t.

 

[drudge X]

How can some process be described as "more efficient" when there's a profit component getting syphoned off?

If we can do the same process but not syphon off money ("profit") to investors then surely that is more efficient?

How many trips did SpaceX make to the ISS and back. Believe me, if there's no profit, the private industries wouldn't bother. Look at Amtrak. The railway wouldn't survive a month without government subsidy. If there are profits from running a high speed rail in this country, the private industries would be all over. You wonder why not one private industry wants to take ownership of the CA high speed railway?

We didn’t.

So humanity shouldn't be wasting money exploring places that have no chance for humanity to exist? The party of science is anti science now huh?

Same could be said of your hometown yet there you are.

The context of the conversation was spending billions to set up permanent supposedly independent human colonies, which is ******* stupid.

NASA launched the Europa Clipper last year which will arrive to study the surface of Europa in 2030. People won’t pay attention to it. They’d rather watch a big ******* rocket blow up.

No, the context is science, space exploration, human achievment, climbing the highest mountain, being first, being the best that we can be.

The stupid one here is you. What makes you believe the resources in earth are infinite? You think wind and solar can power the entire world especially with AI consuming more energy a day than a small city. You think uranium and rare earths are infinite? Here are some science lessons for you.

The moon has helium 3 which is not found on earth. Helium 3 is an energy source. Ice on the moon is also an energy source. The moon is a potential launchpad for future generations to mine asteroids, which are rich in minerals. If we can somehow set up massive solar arrays on the moon and overcoming meteor bombardment, we can harness the sun’s energy 24/7 and beam that energy back to earth. Japan is already working on the microwave energy beaming concept.

Learn something before you say it’s worthless. The party of science is anti science. Sheesh..

Japan Plans to Beam Solar Power from Space to Earth

The Sun never sets in space — and Japan has found a way to harness this unlimited energy.

The largest most powerful rocket ever built, you dont need to be a Sherlock Holmes to figure out the incredible achievment this is not only for Elon Musk and SpaceX employees such as me.

This is a huge success for The United States of America.

A Trump, MAGA win, a win for us, Americans.

Elon didn't use Trump's money to build a rocket. **** Trump, he had nothing to do with it.
