    Too cautious. Welcome to spaceX. We build testbeds out of sheet metal. Any plans for Ariane 6 reuseability?

    Quick cheap and dirty. The big factor is how quickly can they chunk out Raptor engines?

    Elon says the first prototype will be ready by June. So I am hoping for December.
  4. Xd the great
    Probably by December.

    I think 1 in 10000 is tolerable, how many spaceflights per day does Elon envision, 10? 20?
  6. Xd the great
    What about p2p? Cislunar? Orbital hotels?

    *NASA screams in agony*

    Yeah, sperm whales cannot withstand that, given that they are so big... Ants can survive a fall at most heights on Earth.

    So you are telling me N-1 wasn't kerbal enough? Or the delta III?

    https://www.traditionaloven.com/building/masonry/concrete/convert-tonne-metric-t-concrete-to-kilonewton-kn-for-concrete.html From this, 116 metric ton is 1138kN, or 1.138MN Capable of giving the 5 ton elephant 227.6 meter per second square acceleration. So a 2 second burn can kill the elephant and accelerate it to 455.2m/s from rest. Goddamn units. Why cant everyone use SI units?

    The big question is: is it worth it? Is the complicationa or potential faliure modes worth a LES? Early launches with NASA may have LES, but once we get to airliner type safety, no. Especially for tourism, where the chance of an accidental firing of LES or a "Im curious to see what happens to the LES" "accident" is high. A early launch with NASA crew may have a LES of ejection seats (launching 3 guys on a 100 people spaceship is fun, you get more space)

    Is WALL-E male or female? Also: CUBESATS! Gives you 3 months of transmission for a fraction of the cost.

    No. NO. This is not KSP.
  14. Xd the great
    Considering the fact that raptor engines are relatively small, no.
  15. Xd the great
    Someone should change to audio of the raptor engine video to yeet.

    Save editing is not TOO difficult, but ALWAYS GET A BACKUP. So, AFTER BACKUPING, try to see if the engines are graphically misaligned or what. Others have a better idea on editing savefiles, @Gargamel

    Pinkish. Interesting.

    How bout we use a 5th stage? 6th? Anyone?
  19. Xd the great
    Thats why there may be reasons for it being a MVac.

    Radial out, upper fins down, lower fins up, rcs on. Until you get to 300m/s, then toggle the fins up. At 2.3km aboveground, begin flipping down by toggling upper fins first then land with lower fins out.

    "We reduced corruption to 15% from 10% of the annual budget, and made 20% cuts to engineerer salary".
  23. Xd the great
    Given Elon's "quick and dirty" attitude, likely a raptor at 40% thrust.
  24. Xd the great
    Likely a MVac or a raptor.

    NASA: follow our regulations to validate your engines SpaceX: *launching starlink* Excuse me?
