    New Glenn isn't in the same league with Starship. Smaller, not fully reusable, not refuelable, not designed to fly with crew.
  2. sh1pman
    Yea, I wasn't really serious about it That rocket looks like Falcon 1. Or baby Falcon 9 B5.

    Another small sat launcher? Aren't there, like, 15 of them in dev/flying already? Market big enough? Would be nice to see more startups with super-heavy rockets.

    For every idiot-proof design there will be one really persistent idiot with a sledgehammer...

    specifications for the amount of propellant to be loaded aboard the booster had been switched between fuel and oxidizer ... how can you... how is it even... What kind of frickin’ space program is this. I’m done.
  6. sh1pman
    Not yet. They have an engine that they're testing, and a CGI of the rocket. The rocket will run on ethanol.

    The first private spaceport will be built in Russia

    And people at the launch site will experience a rocket fuel rain.

    There's a launch provider index thread, you can take the links from there:

    These “journalists” are likely unable to tell Sputnik from Soyuz MS. Or Soyuz FG from Saturn V. Good coverage of space-related news in the “normie” media is uncommon. Good analysis is nonexistent.

    Very important design change

    Starship hopper getting new nose cone:

    Thursday. SQUAD: one new RCS block Nertea:
  14. sh1pman
    Ok, I only knew about the engine difference. Maybe they tried to sneakily fuel it up with this stuff: (and something went very wrong)
  15. sh1pman
    Must be. No other differences with Soyuz-FG on the third stage, right?
  16. sh1pman
    Fregat engineers must be opening champagne right now. Unlike Soyuz-2 engineers. In their case it’s probably vodka.

    4:45 lol Hmm, wake up super early or not sleep at all...

    Theoretically. But you have to be fantastically stupid to shoot a gun in a pressurized compartment in space.
  21. sh1pman
    Holy hell. For real? Can’t even imagine how it looks like, burning away this much material this fast. Probably like a big, continuous explosion. Will the target ship be disintegrated into dust by the shockwaves from tons of material instantly evaporating every second? Man, I wouldn’t want to be in that ship. If these LCPBs are indeed weapons of choice for future space combat, I hope we come up with some kind of sci-fi energy shields, because this “plasma-magnet-drone” defence doesn’t look very effective.

    Since 2007 they get a semi-automatic Makarov pistol.

    @kerbiloid Also, visit magnificent, breathtaking plains of Kazakhstan as an added bonus.

    They said it was a third of the monthly norm of precipitation for February.
