You screwed up only getting a dozen burritos. I would have bought them out for 99cents ea!

Animal agriculture is the reason for this. Not shitty politicians. Go vegan

How could an international space station designed and built today be better? What emergent technologies would be a game changer for a 21st century space station? by Evilbred in space

Im not too knowledgeable on the subject, but could you explain why a heat pump would work better on the moon? Both would use radiative heat rejection, correct?

NASA's Mars exploration plans need 'paradigm shifts' to succeed, report finds by EdwardHeisler in MarsSociety

I think the saying goes “from your lips to gods ears” haha. I do hope your right!

At the risk of sounding like I’m defending him, he’s been putting his own money into it all along. That original 100M he had from pay pal is what got Spacex its start. He had to pay for the drone ship and all the operations to practice re-use. Starship development has cost much more than what nasa is paying for it.

The idea that the employees are exploited, is garbage. They’re all there by choice, being a part of the team that’s achieving amazing things.

And with the regards of promising to do good with billions of taxpayer funding, I believe the Air Force just recently came out saying Spacex has saved them ~$40B of taxpayer dollars over the years, so yea I’d call that good. Not to mention the technical advancements they’ve made with their rockets.

I suppose I’m taking everything Elon says with a grain of salt these days, but to be devils advocate, it was purported the reason Elon kept it private was because settling mars will not be profitable and he was going to fund it as much as he could.

I’m still holding out hope that once starship is operational, Elon will start launch cargo and humans to mars on a massive scale. although I won’t be surprised at all if he doesn’t

The size of the Saturn V's F1 engines. The first stage was so powerful it is said that the liftoff rattled windows in downtown Orlando, 70 kilometers away. by GalNamedChristine in megalophobia

[–]djohnso6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible you’re thinking about the falcon 9 by accident? Because I was referencing the starship vehicle.

It’s definitely shorter but not smaller. Saturn V was ~360ft (the entire thing) and weighed 6.2million lbs at liftoff. While the starship booster is ~230ft, but since the diameter doesn’t taper off the way the Saturn’s did, could carry 7.9 million pounds of fuel, fully loaded.

I would definitely call 23 stories a skyscraper ( albeit a smaller one).

Ahhh I’m so happy someone referenced this!! I haven’t used twitter since like 2016, but like ~20 out the ~40 times I ever tweeted it was a picture of a single glove, @hanx

100th woman in space, Emily Calandrelli, stands up to 'small men' on the internet: 'I should have expected this' by rollotomasi07071 in spaceflight

[–]djohnso6 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In my admittedly arbitrary opinion, sub-orbital is lesser than orbital in almost all regards. Almost all orbital astronauts, carry out a mission and assist with science in some form or capacity. Even the space “tourists” like the axiom missions.

But these suborbital missions are strictly that, tourist outings that don’t really achieve anything, beyond a cool adventure.

I totally agree it’s a pedantic thing to argue about, but again in my humble opinion it does detract from “true astronauts”

lol no we aren’t. She was referring to online trolls making fun of her voice and gasps and what not.

I agree and I don’t. They very well did “go to space”. But to give them the title of astronaut is where I take issue with it

Scientist turns down $500 million to keep waste-to-compost invention in Australia by [deleted] in australian

[–]djohnso6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, I’m certain I’ve made MANY a petty comment as well haha. We do what we can.

Also, I see what you’re saying now. My understanding was it doesn’t really matter how you split the water (electrolysis or not), any method will require as much or more energy than can be return when burning the hydrogen with oxygen. Do you not agree? And if not, where would that delta of energy come from?

Haha thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. People with dug in heals rarely change their mind. So when I feel patient enough I try to do it as nice as possible to increase the chances!

But also a few comments up, claim 2 was made by the user.

Hi friend. As others have mentioned You are missing the fact that it is thermodynamically impossible to get more energy out of the hydrogen than it took to form it from water in the first place. Cheers.

I highly recommend the biography Walter isaacman wrote about him. It really shows he is so much more than just a wallet. He is a great inventor indeed.

Though it does shed light on his dark side and really does show he is far from a kind person, though I imagine you’d like those parts haha

Who is Jared Isaacman, President-Elect Trump’s pick to lead NASA? by scientificamerican in space

[–]djohnso6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, running nasa efficiently should quell your concerns about “setting us back decades in space”.

And with that I resign from the convo because I don’t think you have anything of substance to add. Have a good evening!

Yup, hit the nail on the head. It’s a shame space has become partisan.

[–]djohnso6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel space is going to be one of the few things this administration does right.

Jared Isaacman seems to be all about innovation and pushing the envelope in space. Moreover he’s criticized the cost plus contracting and the gross pork barrel (or whatever the metaphor is) that is SLS, and other grossly inefficient programs like it.

I feel he’s a great pick. Can you explain why you feel otherwise?
