    Judging by the orbit height, it’s likely that most of the fragments will stay there indefinitely.

    ...that individual would emigrate to US. Roscosmos views such startups as dangerous competition and will use all of its power to shut them down. I agree with @DDE, Russian civilian space program should be restarted from scratch. Its ideology needs to be completely reinvented, with focus on commercialisation of space activities. Otherwise it will be perpetually stuck in abandoned projects, unrealised proposals and use of ancient archeotechnology.

    (Later this week) * (Elon time coefficient) = NET three weeks.

    Will the fuel tanking test involve both cryogenic methane and oxygen or just methane? And what about the pressure, is it going to be 1 bar or higher?

    What’s a couple of bitcoins to a state? If this was a state, they’d do something more malicious than a typical bitcoin scam.

    Yes, this is quite unprecedented. These hackers should be found, strapped to the inside of F9 interstage and given a ride share with the next Starlink mission. Hmm, let’s see... they’ll suffocate, then get roasted by MVac, then freeze in space, then get roasted again during reentry. All of that within mere minutes, so maybe there’s a chance of survival?..

    Hopefully the hackers will get caught. These bitcoin scams have been going on for quite a while, and people are still falling for them.

    Yeah, "CH4" would take just one more character, and there's a lot of free space for it. Can even make it "CH4/O2"

    *launches last Frostpunk DLC, looks at thermometer: +10C* “This is blazing hot, I’ll have a heatstroke just from looking at it!” *Disappointed, deletes Frostpunk*

    It’s O2F2, oxygen difluoride, stuff from hell.

    And nuclear subs have uranium inside. How could sub builders miss such a tremendous flaw and safety threat???
  12. sh1pman
    I'll bookmark this post, let's see how many years it will take them to reach that rate.

    Elon said that one Starship can theoretically launch every 8 hours, so 36 hours should be doable. Eventually. With enough people, facilities, payloads, etc...

    Hyperloop is not just a high speed tunnel. It’s a high speed vacuum tunnel. Which is insane for several reasons, not the least of which is safety.
  15. sh1pman
    No, SpaceX boats. Methalox supercavitating torpedo-boats! Still 100x more plausible than hyperloop.
  16. sh1pman
    No idea how expensive it is to install, but the whole idea is silly, I can’t see it being used anywhere.
  17. sh1pman
    Hyper loop is stupid, they’ll go with boats.
  18. sh1pman
    Or with massive political subsidising. The only possible exception is BO, but they have unlimited money cheat code.

    It’s their design strategy, build a prototype quickly, blow it up, get the data, fix the problem, repeat. Some other companies need 10 years to build a fuel tank.
  20. sh1pman
    The tanks will be mostly drained and full of gaseous CH4 and O2. Oh yeah. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

    Oh, I’m sure they thought this through and found good reasons to skip static fire. I didn’t mean that literally Elon just decided to cancel the whole thing because he thinks it’s a good idea, it most likely was a collective decision. I was just attributing it to that specific design philosophy that Elon and, possibly, other engineers at SpaceX have.
  22. sh1pman
    I think this is the likeliest explanation. “Best part is no part, best process is no process”, etc.

    High winds on the Moon can be dangerous.
  24. sh1pman
    Seems scary for us. Who knows, after 100th landing it may become normal and mundane. Like Falcon 9 landings.

    Missed it, thx
