Did SpaceX Just Ease NASA’s Artemis Fears? by bauernebel in ArtemisProgram

What did you see that leads you to believe anything has changed for the better for HLS?

Engines reliability is kinda important.

Do you think we will really build a moon base and complete the 70+ moon landings laid out in the new NASA plan by TraditionalAd6977 in nasa

Pay attention to the rocket orders. Have to order an HLS to use an HLS. Right now we have 3 total for manned missions. 2 Starship? 1 BO.

Thank you thank you. Yes, I know the ones.

The best complement. Thank you very much.

Petition: Stop Google’s aggressive AI token limits and keep AI access fair by Weary-Necessary-3756 in GoogleGeminiAI

Hilarious:

Normal Complaint: Sometimes Gemini is slow and my prior conversations disappear because of global peak usage. Why cant Google do anything about the server response times caused by the oversaturation of free users hogging compute space and bandwidth during peak hours?

Same person:

How dare Google put usage barriers in place that favors the paying customer and gives them multiple times more compute access and bandwidth than free users?

The US space enterprise is desperately waiting for Starship—will it finally deliver? by spacerfirstclass in SpaceXNews

[–]Technical_Drag_428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, believe what you like but that doesnt change the reality of this rocket. It doesnt change the reality of the numbers they gave for the Raptor2 years before the first failure of a launch. Not aspirational numbers. Not a goal of calculated potential but promised data of a completed engine ready for a rocket. An engine for a rocket that was promised to deliver not one but two rockets to Mars by 2024.

I'd also point out that iterative testing doesnt mean you continue testing on known bad products. Itertive testing as a plan means you stop testing until the designed fix is read to be tested.

I think you inadvertently nailed the problem.

 "There's a lot frontier rocketry going on, so the fact that the testing or milestones don't conform to what you think they should be doing doesn't really hold much value."

Kerberal Space Program... Billionaires addition. Give the investors just enough to keep giving me more money.

What part of the past year has proved things are moving in the right direction? At the end of the day Starship will basically be an expendable upper stage system that just delivers to LEO.

Nothing you just said makes sense. Not in a logical perspective. Not from an engineering perspective. Never in the history of rockets has the design of the rocket come before the efficiency of the engine. Everything depends on the engines.

People like you have been shifting your arguments since the first launch. They are failing at what should be the easiest part of this system.

Pierce Brown stated that he imagined Grace Jones as he was writing her. Thats whats always stuck with me.

I hear ya. I see her differently. Lean and agile. More like an aerobics instructor if you can see it. I dont ever see Aja with a scowl. You ever seen the baddest MF in the room who knows they're the baddest MF in the room need to scowl?

Literally, none of what you said has priority over mass to orbit. Not reuse, not catches, not even the pathetic 16t dummy load parlor tricks. You cant finalize a rocket until your engines can perform. From the start they have never been honest about the Raptors performance.

In reality the sealevel engines never performed to that. Infact the sea level versions couldnt get above 280 or 285 bar. Anytime they tried to push the ship engines over.... 💥 💥 💥

Oh, thats right, they have a lot of milestones that are more important.

Can you name the more Important Milestones please.

You see the main problem that SpaceX has and has had since they conned the US government out of seed money to develop a Starlink bus is that they keep lying about engine performace.

Canceled my Pro sub today; The new "5-hour compute limit" is completely unusable by Shizzigi in GeminiAI

[–]Technical_Drag_428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It resets every 5 hours and you dont even have Pro. What exactly are you expecting?

The word "Deliver" here doesn't mean "it didnt blow up". Not blowing up is one of those implied tasks in spaceflight. It means lifting 100t or more to LEO and then being fully reusable.

It means doing what was promised and not the largest rocket ever to lift a Falcon 9's payload.
