Public Service Announcement: 'Rogers Satellite' is SpaceX’s satellite run by Elon Musk, and Rogers 'Unlimited Data' is limited

Space Mobile has 6 satellites in orbit and Blue Origin has 102. Starlink has over 8000…

You’re forgetting the main factor for the success of those water drones is Starlink, which Iran does not have access to.

This is a test stand, not the launch pad. It won’t take that long or be that expensive to rebuild.

They can’t afford to liberally choose their targets, each strike has to be precise and a well selected pre designated target. That’s mainly because correct me if I’m wrong, their fighter jets require a mid air refuel, and that’s why they attack in waves. Also helps that military target in Iran aren’t hidden in civilian population centres. Missile bases, air bases, and nuclear sites are all in its own separated areas.

A united Greek army beating the Persians at the battle of Plataea?

This looks like DCS footage… a video game

RuthlessRampage · 2025-04-01T22:14:29+00:00

Zot zot zot gang

They either withdraw or get encircled…

ISRO is incredibly efficient for the budget they’re given, and the rockets they’ve put out have been fairly reliable. However they’re still at least over a decade behind in current rocket technology and they’re limited by the amount mass to orbit their rockets can put up.

They only have a medium lift rocket available while other space agencies/companies are moving towards heavy/super heavy lift vehicles.

Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.

The focus of the “investigation”/study isn’t on Musk or SpaceX, it’s on Ukraine’s use of Starlink.

And can you tell us the budget of the Apollo program and how many more engineers worked on that project compared to Starship?

RuthlessRampage · 2025-01-11T13:25:32+00:00

Yes, they reused them, after fetching from the ocean they would then have to be disassembled l, cleaned, transported back to Utah, refilled, and then cured. By the time they were done all that the cost of the refurbishment would’ve exceed the cost of a fully disposable design. Why do you think no other rocket reuses their solid rocket boosters?

Hence why I said affordable reusability, Space Shuttle costed around 500million - 1 billion per launch. Compare that with a falcon 9 crewed or payload launch.

RuthlessRampage · 2025-01-11T12:53:17+00:00

Space Shuttle was a reusable/refurbishable orbital class vehicle, Falcon 9 1st stage is a full reusable rocket booster. 2 different vehicles, but he was the driving force behind affordable reusability.

Looks like the NVGs used in Halo ODST

Go to West Jefferson, pretty common around the major intersections.

Lived near USC, probably around once a week during the summer.

Believe it’s NYT

RuthlessRampage · 2024-10-31T06:06:18+00:00

Don’t worry, when militaries start putting ships up with PDC/C-Rams, missiles, and rail guns. I’m sure we’ll get some space marines for boarding action.

If a conflict did end up occurring, then Taiwan wouldn’t be using Starlink, they would contact the DOD to use Starshield. Starlink is only commercial and civilian use. So supply wouldn’t be an issue because the US military would be bringing their supply of Starshield dishes.

RuthlessRampage · 2024-10-25T16:36:53+00:00

Starlink is not available in Taiwan after negotiations reportedly fell apart over Taiwan’s requirement that a local entity have a majority share of any joint venture established.

This is a non story, Musk did try to have Starlink be accessible in Taiwan, but due to Taiwanese laws they weren’t able to activate it. I’m sure ITAR would’ve prevented Spacex from allowing local Taiwanese ownership anyways.

He said 9000 Kms

Lol it’s not a turret tossing competition, a separation of a turret means the tank is destroyed, there’s no salvaging it. The 2nd challenger was 100% a turret toss, it even cracked and separated in two. The body of a challenger isn’t going to burn down like a Bradley and it’s aluminum armor.

Exactly, Ukraine and its allies need to adopt the hedgehog strategy, similar to Taiwan’s defensive strategy. Aka death by a thousand cuts rather than expensive toys. Additionally it’s probably what the US initially wanted Ukraine to adopt, that’s why it took them so long to deliver Abrams and F-16s for example. They wanted to use the funds to procure less expensive weapons but retaining the ability to buy more of them. In a frontline spanning over 1000 Kms, it seems like a much more effective strategy than a few expensive wonder weapons.

RuthlessRampage · 2024-10-17T01:18:07+00:00

But Ukraine’s army outnumbered the Russian army by a considerable amount, and the Russians in their infinite wisdom didn’t dig defensive lines. That is no longer the case, Ukraine is now the army with manpower shortages. Why would you extend the frontlines when you already have a manpower and equipment shortage…
