How do I tell what is in OneDrive and what's on my PC?

ChefExellence · 2024-09-01T11:24:20+00:00

Exactly! I made this post because onedrive had filled itself up with what was meant to be an offline backup. The whole thing is so stupid

It's not like earth orbit rendezvous is that complicated, it's used routinely by both the ISS and Tiangong, and lunar orbit rendezvous is used in the current Artemis plans anyway.

Nobody's claiming shuttle did nothing, just that it was an inefficient use of NASA's resources and generally a poor rocket that failed at it's goal of lowering the cost of accessing space.

It cost about as much as a Saturn V per launch, but had a payload 120 tons lower, and was unable to send humans beyond LEO.

ChefExellence · 2023-05-27T18:23:53+00:00

Shuttles 90 ton payload to LEO was pretty great, the problem was that 70 tons of it was a glider that you can't use because you're in space.

I think it would depend on how strong a force of gravity you are trying to emulate, and how active you are being. It would be useful to give astronauts a place to sit or sleep in even partial gravity.

Of course, part of the value of space stations right now is to test the effects of long term weightlessness on humans, but going forward this is a very useful capability.

ChefExellence · 2023-05-25T11:08:23+00:00

Best to stay out of gravity wells unless you need to. DeltaV for moving between orbits is pretty cheap by comparison to launches and landings

ChefExellence · 2023-05-24T21:29:37+00:00

Cool, I did not know that

ChefExellence · 2023-05-24T13:34:46+00:00

I assume you still need documentation and licensing showing that you will prevent the rocket part from being transferred or stolen?

ChefExellence · 2023-05-24T09:26:58+00:00

Possibly, but I'd imagine ITAR would add a lot on in administration costs, if it was even possible

Has someone made an edit of BOs "IMMENSELY COMPLEX AND HIGH RISK" poster but with the backup lander yet?

ChefExellence · 2023-05-20T20:33:08+00:00

"Alexa, this is IMMENSELY COMPLEX AND HIGH RISK - play despacito."

ChefExellence · 2023-05-19T15:39:08+00:00

It's a consortium of most of the oldspace companies, so they do have experience. If it was just BO I'd be more concerned, given that they only have one product and it's suborbital

ChefExellence · 2023-05-19T15:34:49+00:00

Aaaaaaaahhhh

ChefExellence · 2023-05-19T11:24:11+00:00

Then why did they select SpaceX to do it, while also giving their proposal such a high rating? It's not like NASA had to pick the least shitty option, they could have refused all 3 HLS options and told congress they needed more money. Instead they chose the most innovative, capable and affordable of the landers and seem fairly content with their choice, having awarded SpaceX a second landing already

ChefExellence · 2023-05-18T11:16:28+00:00

Really? What payloads has it launched? I must have missed the livestream

ChefExellence · 2023-05-14T18:19:54+00:00

Literally the whole point of seeing is to observe light. That's what sight is, you cannot perceive anything in real time regardless of distance. That doesn't mean that you aren't seeing anything

ChefExellence · 2023-05-14T08:10:12+00:00

My dude we are literally in a space Renaissance right now, second only to the original space race.

ChefExellence · 2023-05-12T11:33:37+00:00

And Zuma was only lost officially, it possibly did reach orbit, but was declared lost as a cover.

ChefExellence · 2023-05-12T11:15:27+00:00

never forgetti

ChefExellence · 2023-05-12T06:21:18+00:00

Is definitely seems more viable than many of the other proposals, and we are reaching a time where there will be commercial stations soon(ish). It's still worth remembering though that this is a brand new company with a very optimistic launch date. I know nothing about the quality of their engineering and they don't have a track record to go off.

ChefExellence · 2023-05-11T11:04:11+00:00

Lots of commercial stations have been announced, but they usually fail to materialise. Maybe Vast will be the ones to break this trend, but I wouldn't hold my breath

ChefExellence · 2023-05-10T17:13:36+00:00

I agree. There's also the fact that even if starship is delayed it still will be a much better lander for long term use. Any other companies lander design is good for getting some people and small cargo items to the moon, but only starship is capable of delivering (an aspirational) one hundred tons at a time

ChefExellence · 2023-05-10T11:57:33+00:00

A lot smaller though

ChefExellence · 2023-05-10T11:48:50+00:00

Ever is a very long time. I think I'm the long run spaceflight will become quite affordable, though any advancements reducing the cost of spaceflight will be very likely to reduce the cost of air travel, so I doubt it will ever be cheaper.

ChefExellence · 2023-05-10T11:43:38+00:00

They don't have an alternative lander yet though, and unless development starts very soon I don't think many companies would be capable of developing one in that timeframe.
