  1. and plenty of generally informed people wouldn't have gotten the memo that it's not on youtube anymore, guaranteeing that many flock to the scam feeds masquerading as something official because there is no official feed to be found
  2. It's almost certain that the fit will be made worse by adding a third data point. Not worth
  3. this is proof that raptors are unreliable and ipso facto full duration burns are neccesary and like such as period comma
  4. please stop baiting to this get thread locked
  5. They've already had to disable most of the equipment because if power concerns. I'm sure they've got memory to spare
  6. Multiple sources give 235km for the apogee and -50km for the perigee, so 7677m/s at apogee for the ship. The 7763m/s total velocity given for a circular orbit is is only 1% off this value. That could be just round off error or it could be you don't literally want a test vehicle to achieve orbit to allow for a planned deorbit at a specific region
  7. and ignore all of the people that reply as well?
  8. cut SpaceX some slack; after all, we're making the same mistake over and over again right now
  9. This thread has approximately eight hours before it becomes solely a discussion on the Chinese Room problem Good luck
  10. 7.5 hours total That's a solid angle of .065 steradians, pretty big, comparable to your outstretched fist Assuming everything is in the same plane (which is not true at all but I don't want to do the real math), the angular diameter of Mars is 9% of the arc of the sky, so you'd be in some kind of eclipse 9% of the time. The Sun only has an angular diameter of .006 rads, so basically all of the time would be in a total clipse
  11. "outdated" implies it was ever good to begin with
  12. The US and USSR would race to be the first to land on a moon, and unless in this reality the Soviets were just behind America and could go for a landing on the second as a consolation price, the lower would give up while the winner went on to visit the other Moon just to run up the score
  13. I can just barely read it without needing to out my phone in my face
  14. can somebody please hit the jukebox it's acting up
  15. At the risk of getting modded, can you please stop talking about the Raptor and its reliability all of the time?
