@kstricl 12 дней назад

Absolutely. This is one time where hitting the expected LZ should be considered a success for FAA investigation purposes. Once they are going for the human rating, the investigation should be completed before next launch, but not for a development ship that stayed in flight parameters.

@simongeard4824 12 дней назад

@@kstricl Don't get too fixated on the FAA here... that's just a little bit of paperwork on top of work that would be happening anyway, not a punitive witchhunt. IFT3 flew, it didn't fly exactly as documented in the plan, so SpaceX need to tell the FAA why - but that doesn't mean it's a big deal... it's not forcing SpaceX to carry out an investigation that they weren't already doing for their own purposes. It's just paperwork.

Not all of them. They still can't do vertical integration for Falcon, and as far as I know, they still haven't developed the larger fairing... both of which are needed for some of those launches. They're contracted to provide those capabilities, but I suspect they have a quiet understanding with the government... they'll draw up the necessary plans as contingency, but would be happier if the government just gave those missions to ULA, because they don't really fit the SpaceX roadmap.

The ULA Vulcan is definitely the best rocket booster ULA had ever flown. Unfortunately, it is up to compete against the 14 years old SpaceX Falcon 9 and it is not it's better in any category (except maybe fairing width) - it is more expensive, and less capable and at this point isn't even partly reusable so they still trash a $110M vehicle every time.

@fridaycaliforniaa236 5 дней назад

So damn true.

@guss77 5 дней назад

BTW - the $110M cost is almost for sure a loss leader for ULA - the actual cost (including amortized development cost that was estimated by ULA CEO as $2B) is almost for sure non-competitive and ULA likely relies on their own public estimates that the booster cost can be reduced by 65% to 90%, to make some profit in the future.

I suspect the water deluge gets constructed in that newly paved area on the Highway side of the Gateway wall, and the tank farm where the old suborbital farm is. The OLM you have placed is appropriate to allow the tower to protect the tanks.

I think connecting the two megabays together in a 'L' shape is the best option.

The model number of the robot was B1-66ER. I doubt I can reach Elon, because I don't have the juice, but maybe you do. Please plead with him to change the name of the upcoming booster to B1-66ER. How epic would that be considering it has to do with The Matrix, robots, AI and everything else we are going through right now... Keep up the epic work!

@rocroc 10 дней назад

You've got to admit it is a whirlwind of work! Hard to imagine many other companies who are capable of putting all of this together so quickly. As to the helium leak, they knew about the leak before the valve issue and decided to look into again only after they removed the rocket from the launch tower. In other words, they were going to fly this craft already knowing they had a problem leak. I presume the astronauts were aware of the leak and were prepared to put their lives on the line in spite of it. You think?

the world isn't ready to see what will happen once spacex really starts to tool up for bulk rocket launches. this isn't a tech demo or a scientific project, it's the gateway to a trillion-dollar foothold in space. i genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they got starship launches down to a million dollars. spacex's capacity for tooling up once starship has been perfected and all of the technical data has been worked out will be unbelievable. The space force definitely won't just be desk jockeys any more, that's for sure...

Regarding additional megabays... stack 'em. Ground space is scarce, so build a double height super-mega-bay, with a big cargo elevator to move them around. If you do it right, you can knock the floor out later, and use it to build a 20mm super-starship. ;)

I'm inclined to watch your episodes at half speed, highly recommend, for many reasons but the best is listening to your commentary. It sounds like you are wasted drunk 😂😂😂 I've now convinced myself that all your episodes are created while wasted drunken and correctly hilarious then doubled to a regular speed You Rockon!?! ~ hic*up Thanks Amigo

Star Base is looking better and better. I've always admired Elon for his passion in using the best materials AND making everything look stunning. And I don't think he does that for recognition from the public, but rather for his employees. He really takes pride in his employees AND he treats them very well. And his employees know this. In return, they do the same for him by their dedication to quality. It's a win-win-win situation. Just look at how beautiful the Tesla Giga Factory is, inside and out.

As always, what about it brings spaceflight information forward and keeps the hype at sky high levels! Thank you for your hard work.

Tighten the bolts.... 😅

@petermcguire8260 12 дней назад

On the starliner you say tighten the bolts like that's crazy. What's actually happening is they're increasing the torque so that you get less flexibility and if they strip it out then they have to come back and replace the other end of the bolt. The falcon 9 already knows what the tolerances are because they've done it so many times they're already zuwed in with a fixed number unlike ULA that's just getting started.

Hey tank, you’re a starship, you’re going to space! Jokes, you’re just getting scrapped.😢😅

@dillonahrens8112 11 дней назад

Spacex feels like the only company and geoup aiming for us to become a multiplanetary species and I am so glad that we have them but i am infuriated that no other company comes even kinda close or has the same end goals. Our #1 goal across the world should be becoming a multiplanetary species, we have the tech, the ability, and resources, we just need the will...

My theory is when the office building is finished SpaceX will tear town the stargate building and highbay and build 2 megabays. The parking garage will also remove the need for parking in that area providing more space for the megabays to be built.

@MattSitton 12 дней назад

Yeah that makes a ton of sense tbh

@simongeard4824 12 дней назад

They do love iterative design. Sooner or later, they'll probably consolidate multiple megabays into something the size of the VAB...

@mac_uk5464 12 дней назад

Maybe the structure beside the office block (which looks different from the office block) is the new Starbase place & a new Megga bay is to be built where Starbase stands now?.

@digger450r 12 дней назад

Also, I work with cryogenics, and its pretty common for bolts to loosen up when you first chill them. I would think they would do a full cryo test and retorque as standard operating procedure?
