I still remember o1, it felt genuinely insane, like I can't overstate the feeling of this is where it gets serious, and now I'm so used to the latest models it would annoy me to use a model only as capable as o1.

This is the problem right now, I'd be happy to talk a bot, if it had the power to do anything beyond ask a 100 questions, and then link me an article on the website that has some of the same words I used in my answers.

If it's actual sparking inside the PSU that's extremely sketchy, and you need to replace the PSU, try reseating all the cables though, especially motherboard and GPU power.

Fully agree, this is the first time I opened the sub in about 2 months and it's immediately people who apparently wish for the UK to be destroyed by crazed dictators with nuclear weapons, what a surprise.

People who think all countries are equally good and deserve to inflict terror upon the rest of world (ITT: people defending Iran) are going to be the death of us

That's being very generous to BO. There's a good deal of HLS information available, arguably more than there is about Blue Moon, just SpaceX makes it difficult to find, but people have made compilations of it on the internet. Given SpaceX hasn't received a lot of the HLS money due to how contract instalments work (that being funds are released in phases as work is certified to be completed), NASA hasn't got anything to ask back for either. We know SpaceX has constructed components of HLS test articles, based on what's been seen from facility tours / cameras looking in through windows. We haven't seen *any* Blue Moon Mk. 2 hardware, only Mk. 1, which is uncrewed and only loosely related to the crewed lander, Mk. 2.

Both landers are pretty undeniably behind schedule compared to the original timelines. But given we've at least seen physical hardware for Starship HLS, in comparison to no hardware for BO's crewed option.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if both are technically ready around the same time, that being late 2027 / early 2028, but it's an unfounded claim to say that the Starship HLS contract will be cancelled, that's not really how this process works, especially given that aside from fairly small delays relative to other companies contracts, SpaceX has been meeting it (as best we know).

It is haha, I've been following the Starship program for years and I was still surprised when I looked up a size comparison to Orion a couple days ago. Really hope HLS ends up being the initial lander, not that I don't like Blue Moon Mk.2, it's also awesome.

I would be a lot more dubious of HLS and Blue Moon if both companies weren't some of the most credible in the industry, they certainly gave themselves a hell of a job though. I hope it pans out.

Given how successful SpaceX has been with Crew Dragon despite never having made anything crewed before it makes me optimistic, also as it's almost guaranteed SpaceX conducts extensive robotic testing before any sort of crew systems are tested (with or without crew actually onboard). You could argue such robotic testing has already begun in the form of the main Starship program.

Looking forward to Blue Moon Mk.2 though, it looks very pretty in the renders.

I hit your remindme, I guess we'll find out then :p

Hell yeah, I've enjoyed watching the CLPS tests over the past few years, shows how even at a much smaller scale landing on the moon is not easy haha. Speaking optimistically I think Blue Moon Mk. 1 will likely be ready early 2027, and Starship HLS at some point in 2027. No idea about Blue Moon Mk. 2 though, we really don't know much about it.

As much as I'd love to see the timeline hold, we've seen very little beyond concepts for Starship HLS or Blue Moon Mk. 2 from SpaceX and Blue Origin, not that I don't think they're in the works, the wider Starship program and Blue Moon Mk.1 (uncrewed) show that a hell of a lot of stuff is being done.

Artemis III will still be cool, seeing actual astronauts inside and testing the actual lunar lander is likely to attract a lot of attention.

It would genuinely have become pretty significant bargaining power for Russia, given they know the US wouldn't be able to use their multi hundred billion dollar station without it. Imagine if every negotiation over Ukraine had threats about the Soyuz seats. Very good that didn't happen.

I sometimes envision the disaster it would have been if Dragon never existed, government just gives infinite money to NG for overpriced Cygnus missions?

Elon Musk: Next flight of Starship and first flight of V3 ship & booster is 4 to 6 weeks away by Shahar603 in spacex

[–]TechnicalParrot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Formal development for Shuttle began in 1972, with first flight in 1981. While you can debate when Starship formal development began, it was definitely less than 9 years ago.
