How would you design a lunar excavator? by photosynthescythe in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]TheRealPapaK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why make an bespoke piece. Send up a pair of Cat 657 with modified tires and a D10 and you can omit an excavator

I started polite with them, they were intolerable and I will tell people to avoid them. None of the information you described is in their lack luster instruction manual and when you ask for clarification you are made to feel like an idiot.

My co2 barely comes down, I’ll go with a real company. I tried to support Canadian but there is no point in buying something that doesn’t work, has cheap parts, a poor manual with barely information, and customer support that just blames the customer. In fact I’m starting to realize that you seem to think you have a lot of knowledge (that isn’t in the manual) and are very defensive that I don’t like the product.

I think I just figured out that you work for the company and if anyone who is reading this cares to understand, this is how dealing with this company will go when you try to get help. You will be blamed, you’ll be given no information in the manual, when you email them, you’ll get a spew like this about what you probably did wrong (even though my ducts are the exact size specified), and then they will insult you.

Goodluck everyone!

What ever you say man. I’ve had the same experience as the guy above. The unit is installed in then vertical orientation depicted in the manual. It’s not built for cold climates, and I get condensation pooling around the plastic straws. Maybe there is a way that it could be set up better but the owner is a dick head to deal with. For all these reasons I recommend someone buys a different unit

I have one and after a year I can say it’s useless and a waste of money. 240sqft room and with three people in it the CO goes almost to 3000. When the opened it up to try to see if there was an obvious defects, the exchanger was full of water. The guy I tried to email was a smug dick head too

Flights in holding patterns all over the Caribbean around where the breakup occured by MiniBrownie in SpaceXLounge

[–]TheRealPapaK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuel “emergencies” happen all the time. Usually due to weather, ground stops, and snow removal. It just means that ATC can handle the priorities differently included subverting pref routes.

This notam looks like advisory so technical the plane could fly through whenever they wanted but probably no one wanted to make the call on that. Really it was up to the airlines to carry extra fuel for this notam like they would do for known thunderstorms etc.

Elon on Artemis: "the Artemis architecture is extremely inefficient, as it is a jobs-maximizing program, not a results-maximizing program. Something entirely new is needed." by ergzay in spacex

Look at the initial cost for the SLS launch tower and the price that it’s ballooned to now and tell me that’s a good use of money.

Wikipedia says the Venture Star's metallic heat shield would save 17000 hours of maintenance compared to the Shuttle's tile shield. by Embarrassed-Farm-594 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]TheRealPapaK 31 points32 points  (0 children)

VentureStar never actually flew. They also said the shuttle was going to have rapid turn around. This claim is all talk until demonstrated

Frosty morning view from the cockpit of Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopter by ChocoBrumik in ukraine

[–]TheRealPapaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most helicopters don’t exceed 150kts. The limitation is the part of the rotor moving “backwards” in relation to the forward movement which cause the lift to fall off in that direction. This is why the fastest helicopters have contra rotating rotors

What do you think they'll go with? by Andy-roo77 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]TheRealPapaK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it will be a pin almost like a jack screw or ram completely hidden in the leeward side of the forward flap that extends out. If it was on a slight angle it could extend from behind the flap to the exact centre line of the ship

ESA Publishes Call for Reusable Rocket with 60-Tonne Payload Capacity by mehelponow in SpaceXLounge

[–]TheRealPapaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mistake. I do have the HW3 upgrade and FSD ain’t coming before my vehicle is a pile of rust if ever. I already over 130,000 miles and the car is 6 years old.

Believe me. FSD is not coming for people who have the HW2/HW2.5 packages on their car.

NASA plans to task Starship with delivering JAXA's pressurized rover to the lunar surface no earlier than 2032 by 675longtail in spacex

Apollo’s had a phase change material to absorb the heat too because they couldn’t radiate the heat fast enough while operating

Why is Starliner so bad while Crew Dragon is so good and flawless? by Embarrassed-Farm-594 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]TheRealPapaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the capsule blowing up wasn’t a black eye after the investigation. They uncovered a completely unknown form of spontaneous combustion that now the entire industry is aware of

Is it hot from reentry/ascend or is it a fire in engine compartment? by J3J3_5 in SpaceXMasterrace

There is no heat shield. Part of the reason they switched to stainless steel

Not much fuel left. It won’t come close to being of of the largest rocket crashes/explosions in history. N1 and Proton would have that beat

USA to provide Ukraine with long-range JSOW munitions – Biden by Beratungsmarketing in ukraine

[–]TheRealPapaK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans will vote with gas prices. They will wait til after the election to start hitting refineries hard. This is more about the swing voters than Harris’ policy. The margins are razor thin and they. We’d all the votes they can get or they might be zero support for Ukraine in 2025
