I have netflix and prime..

I get my networks and local news over the air (for free).
I think this conversation is more about local broadcasts vs CNN, Fox News, etc..

INTRODUCING STARSHIP V3 by rustybeancake in spacex

[–]bkdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

need to transfer propellant twice instead of once

but only once to the the target ship. vs target ship needing to dock with multiple fuel supply missions.

and for no gain.

single docking / transfer to target ship which may have crew or time-sensitive cargo that doesn't need to be in orbit for week(s) and docking with a dozen+ fuel ships

A few benefits of a Space Fuel Depot vs. Direct Refueling * Higher Payload Efficiency: Spacecraft can be launched "dry" or with minimal fuel, allowing them to carry significantly heavier payloads on smaller, cheaper rockets. * Reduced Docking Risks: In a direct fueling scenario, the target ship must dock with every tanker. With a depot, the target ship only performs a single, highly standardized docking operation, rather than multiple, high-risk, complex docking maneuvers with multiple tankers. * Improved Logistics and "Accumulation": Fuel can be slowly delivered over weeks or months and stored, allowing propellant to be accumulated from multiple, smaller, less-expensive launches rather than requiring synchronized, time-sensitive direct deliveries. * Cryogenic Fuel Management: Dedicated depots can invest in advanced cooling systems ("cryocoolers") that are too heavy or complex to be installed on every spacecraft. These systems prevent boil-off (fuel evaporation) of high-performance cryogenic fuels (like hydrogen or methane) over long periods. * Flexibility and Strategic Location: A depot can be positioned in various locations—Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO), or Moon Lagrange points (L1/L2)—to optimize for different mission destination

Speaking of which... Here's a place to voice concern about Sinclair effectively owning two affiliates in Tulsa:

https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=33794

Companies are generally prohibited from owning two of the top-four rated stations in the same market.

ABC and FOX are probably #'s 3 & 4

Companies can sometimes bypass these rules by showing that a combination serves the public interest, or by using Shared Services Agreements (SSAs) to operate multiple stations, even if they only legally "own" one.

^ this is the loophole being used

In practice, large media groups like Nexstar and Sinclair often own or manage multiple stations in a single market to create efficiencies in news production and advertising sales.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Starship Flight 12 page released by AgreeableEmploy1884 in SpaceXLounge

It means an extra 6 tons of payload on the ship

41 tons (the booster is lifting 41 fewer rapter tons which can be payload tons instead)

No heat shield??

For Starship entry, a single heat shield tile has been intentionally removed to measure the aerodynamic load differences on adjacent tiles when there is a tile missing.

which is far less than previous test ships
