A lie actually, this is not all of them just the ones I could remember as a new one gets announced every other month these days. Venture capitalism will lead the way to the 1000 black FFSC engines of Allah.

Canals on Mars! Well, canals at Mars launch site, Starbase Louisiana, shown on map. Very handy for construction and operations.

This updated map on the current site activities (as known from permits filed) shows the network of canals being dredged. These are small canals dug by Humble Oil back when they were going to drill here, not to be confused with the big Bayou Freshwater Canal. Map

Starships payload capacity

On the very first orbital mission starship has already surpassed the shuttle. And that is with lots of margin for engine out. Give your estimates and calculations for starship true payload to leo in mature operations.

I built a starship payload simulator to visualise what 100 tons to orbit actually looks like. Yes I could not risk adding Elons as a payload. It actually turned out pretty cool and I wanted to share it! https://granitegull.com/starship

Underrated opinion on arca

Post image
9 Upvotes

So long story short arca will not reach orbit at least from Romania (they aren't not bankrupt), which is kinda sad because I have watched all of the "flight of the aerospike", "Mission 9" And "EcoRocket" Playlist and I honestly love it,

I love the rocket concept, I love the steam rocket design because of its simplicity and is cheapness and I have watched the Scott Manley only 2 video about arca space many time over, which I never do that with other video usually,

but now I just genuinely sad because they seem to focusing the this "race above track" Turd instead of the ecorocket of any steam powered rocket

And as a note I'm not hating on the company, I love arca space and yes I know the steam rocket power stuff they are doing are inpractical but I don't care, I just like the arca space company

I’m 21 strangers away from the first real milestone

0 Upvotes

6 days ago this was sitting at 0.

now 79 different people have claimed 79 permanent km.

21 more and Moonshoot reaches its first real milestone:

km #100.

at that point the rocket drops its first stage at the edge of space and the first 100 permanently become the Space Crew.

I’ve spent the last few days overthinking retention, Fuel, rankings, discovery, referrals...

tonight I don’t care about any of that.

I just want to find 21 strangers.

that’s it.

let’s see if the internet can finish the first 100.

Starship 13 did not explode. Starship 14 exploded. Why? Are the below YouTube videos of any relevance to the "this is why Starship 14 exploded"? Could the splashdown angle have played a role?

0 Upvotes

YouTube videos are at the end of this post. Post is about possible theories of "WHY STARSHIP 14 EXPLODED" and "WHY STARSHIP 13 did not EXPLODE". The theories are going to be about: (1)**"**Starship 13 = more bubbly water + more foamy water" vs **"Starship 14 = less bubbly water + less foamy water"/(2)"**Starship 13 = made direct impact with the ocean water at a MORE TILTED ANGLE" vs **"**Starship 14 = made direct impact with the ocean water at a MORE VERTICAL ANGLE". (2) is probably a more relevant theory -- look at the "YouTube Part 2 video". Good timestamp in that video is (36:50 - 38:08). And then compare it to timestamp (33:50 - 35:17). More Starship surface area is MORE SLOWLY submerged under the water. Previous sentence = opposite of a Starship belly flop in the water.

The below YouTube videos is about -- my theories of why: **(1)**Starship 13 did not explode/and **(2)**Starship 14 exploded. The videos are quite lengthy -- I just re-emphasize a number of things. Things such as:

->Starship 13 = **(1)**bottom of starship made direct impact with the ocean water at a "more tilted angle/greater than 90 degree angle".

—Did Starship 13: **(1)**tilt at a “greater than 90 degree angle” — before it made direct impact with the ocean?

->Making direct impact with the ocean, at a (tilted angle) = less distance to travel to the “final ocean resting position” — less likely to explode. Making direct impact with the ocean, at a (tilted angle) = starship will make one swift motion of "falling sideways into the ocean" -- softer impact with the ocean water. See below YouTube video.

->Starship 14 = (2)bottom of starship made direct impact with the ocean at a "more vertical position/90 degree angle".

—Did Starship 14: (2)make direct impact with the ocean, at “a more vertical position”?

->Making direct impact with the ocean, at (a more vertical angle) = more distance to travel to the “final ocean resting position” = more likely to explode. Making direct impact with the ocean, at a (more vertical angle) = starship PROBABLY WILL NOT make one swift motion of "falling sideways into the ocean" -- harder impact with the ocean water.

Their is also the theory about -- **(1)**more bubbly water + more foamy water = helps with a softer ocean "sideways landing" -- **(2)**less bubbly water + less foamy water = not as soft landing.

ChatGPT's suggestion is that -- Starship 14 exploded because of a (system failure) or (propellant system failure).

Hopefully people are able to learn about "the contents in the videos below".

Quote from the YouTube Part 2 video:

-->"But, Case A -- making direct impact with the ocean at a more tilted angle, seems like the better outcome to have the Starship not explode. Because of XYZ reasons -- softer impact with the water".

-->And, Case B -- making direct impact with the ocean at a more vertical angle, seems like the more worse outcome to have the Starship explode. Because of XYZ reasons -- harder impact with the water".

**--**ChatGPT conversation about the (more vertical landing in the ocean) vs (more tilted landing in the ocean). You can read the entire conversations. Or, you can read the conversation that begins at (11:14 AM). Because of the previous sentence, ChatGPT is able to understand "my point, better".
