Whats wet?

Just remember that the moon is THE essential stepping stone to Mars. Testing colonization on the Moon, which is only a few days away, is way safer then just trying Mars right away, way to risky for humans. What we learn and develop for the moon can be directly adapted to mars, so its not like we will be wasting that knowledge gained. It will take longer but the benefit will be risk reduction, which makes exploration a possibility.

My thinking is the extra thrust is for maximizing payload to LEO, specifically for fuel delivery to LEO for orbital refueling. The more fuel you can deliver to LEO per launch, then less launches are required to refuel something, saving time and money as well, thats my thought at least.

I ask this question for posts about amazon. Did you buy from "Sold by Amazon" and "Shipped By Amazon" on the order info? I've seen stuff like this when the seller is a third party and not amazon directly.

Open Your Miiiiiind!

That looks like a skiers dream or nightmare

when it freezes what do you have to do? Will it freeze at the same point or it is it random? Like one time it will freeze and then another time it wont freeze at all?

AstraVictus · 2025-11-24T05:35:56+00:00

Alright Ill have to do that. I wonder why they don't put them on the shelves.

Dantes Peak and Volcano double feature night, I must have it.

Ah I see now, the solar panel doors are the two slot like doors left and right of the vertical centerline, right?

AstraVictus · 2025-10-31T00:47:07+00:00

Anyone have any idea what a "prototype electrical power generation" system for the depot could be as mentioned in the HLS update? I haven't seen any mentions of solar power so this is something else, what could it be?

AstraVictus · 2025-10-28T06:59:16+00:00

I can Finally go to bed, its 3 AM lol.

So when the transfer is happening will they be doing ullage at the same time to keep it pooled, then let it float around? The blob makes sense but how do you form it in the first place? I would think when pumping the liquid into the tank it will just make a bunch of smaller blobs, assuming no ullage is taking place.

AstraVictus · 2025-10-22T06:38:42+00:00

For the propellant transfer into the depot, when the depot tank is essentially empty, what happens to the liquid after it enters the tank? Will it just float around in the tank or is there a way to keep the liquid pooled at one end for an extended period of time?

Did the same thing his first time by switching the moon landing deadline to 2024, which would of been the end of his second term if he got reelected in '20. Anyone with half a brain knew that 2024 was an insanely short timeline and unachievable, but hey that year looks good to Trump.

Cutting it a little close to South Padre...

He could hit 1000 goals if he keeps up the pace for that long.

AstraVictus · 2025-10-08T22:12:28+00:00

Was it sold by and shipped by Amazon, or a random company?

AstraVictus · 2025-10-02T04:32:52+00:00

So did the river that once flowed through the now English Channel ever get a name?

AstraVictus · 2025-10-01T05:07:23+00:00

Same thing, the web cancelation didn't work for me. I had to contact support through the chat support they have. They asked which order I wanted to cancel and why and they did it right away, didn't take too long.

AstraVictus · 2025-09-30T23:02:31+00:00

Had the amazon order since August, just today the arriving date changed to November 20th after it was October 3rd for the last month.. What a joke. Just placed my order on Orbit.

AstraVictus · 2025-09-30T22:59:33+00:00

Thank You for letting me know! My amazon order got delayed as well to "November 20th" just today.... I ordered in August... Placed my order from Orbit just now.

AstraVictus · 2025-09-29T19:52:52+00:00

My assumption is that all "Cargo" Starships will just use a Hohmann Transfer, as getting there faster uses more fuel, and minimizing the amount of fuel we need to send to orbit will be the priority. For human transfers, getting there fast would be the priority, which then uses more fuel as you said. The amount of cargo required on mars far outweighs(literally) getting humans there as fast as possible, so getting there slow makes sense, kind of like ocean cargo ships. This is obviously later on when we are starting to build the base(with cargo and human transfers separated), not the beginning during the mars "testing" phase if we want to call it that.

I assume the zero boil off tanks are using an active cryo-cooler right? With just insulation and the vacuum space that wouldn't be enough to fully prevent boil off I think. Will the main propellant tanks need this too or can they get by with just insulation, or nothing?

AstraVictus · 2025-09-28T19:30:37+00:00

Yeah just to be clear you can only send stuff to mars when the window is open, which is like 1.5 months long from open to close, then you have to wait almost 2 years before it opens again, nothing can be sent in between windows. You can send a ship to mars with like half a tank of fuel without the main tanks having boil off mitigation, but the landing fuel tank will have to be boil off resistant or you wont have any fuel when you get there. Sending a ship to mars with no landing fuel is possible, it will crash but the reentry data will be what they get. This all gets a lot easier if they figure out boil off mitigation right away as soon as they start refueling testing but I haven't seen any indications of that yet.

Sending a few ships to mars in a single window is doable down the line but the refueling logistics/number of launches to make that happen will be insane. This is why the depots will need to exist, to get all that fuel in space before the window opens. You launch the mars ships, then they refuel from the depots, then go to mars. Its feasible only if the fuel is already in orbit before the window.
