>>15267404
the lower section of the rocket somehow reminds me of paper mache
the uneven ripples

>>15267427
it's there in the upper section too but the walls at the lower-end have to be even thicker with extra printing runs which probably causes the increased unevenness.

>>15267513
Not really, it's best for rapid prototyping or creating structures too complex or intricate for conventional machining. If it's a relatively simple form than laser cutting bendable/stampable forms from rolls of stainless or in the case of tankage, just FS-welding together hoops of the same are cheaper.

>>15267513
>3d printing being cheaper than bending sheet metal is the point of 3d printing rockets
for simple cylinders you're looking at an order of magnitude of cost difference between printing and bending+welding

>hurrdurr not a space movie

>>15267535
Never. Super starship will already make regular starship obsolete. SpaceX is too far ahead of everyone else for it to matter. The small companies will simply skip that generation of rockets and go straight for what is the meta

originally it was for the lowest cost with autonomous printing but at some point the rocket being 3x more massive than it should be would render the cost aspect moot due to higher BOM and fuel requirements.

Like imagine the humiliation of America depending on soyuz right now

>>15267695
We wouldn't be depending on Soyuz. Current year geopolitics would have outright killed off the ISS.

>>15267671
usa is successful because it was started by pioneering immigrants and has continued to hoover up all the most competent people in the world

>>15267752
UHHHHHH
fuck off retard

>>15267744
>Soyuz would still be told as the interim solution
Which is why the ISS would be shut down. NASA was paying $90 million per seat on Soyuz before Dragon came online and that cost was only looking to go up if we'd kept paying. There's no way Washington would be willing to pay for extortion-rate seating with the way things are now, which would mean that there would be no way to get crew to and from the station.

>>15267768
>There's no way Washington would be willing to pay for extortion-rate seating
For redundancy? Hell yeah they'll pay Boing's extortion rate.

>>15267768
ISS would still be running, but the American section would be staffed with BRICs astronauts, who would clean up the slime and smells left behind by the crazed woman astronaut who drilled a hole into the ISS from a couple years back.

>>15267775
No, there is no way that Washington would be willing to pay $100M+ dollars TO RUSSIA IN THE CURRENT YEAR for soyuz seats while Boeing took their sweet time finishing Starliner.

>>15267780
That wouldn't work either. The initial agreements that established the station set things up so that an American and a Russian were required to be on board at all times. Americans aren't allowed to operate a lot of systems in the Russian segment and vice versa. Without both parties aboard there's a good chance the station can't function. It's why everyone was so eager to get the current seat swap arrangement going.

>>15267558
>"we totally killed the kraken guys!"
Meanwhile in the actual game:

>>15267791
They're not paying jack shit for the Soyuz seats. They're doing seat trades, the very thing that made Rogozin seethe like a motherfucker before he got "promoted" into Ukraine for his vaginoplasty.

>>15267780
Why are you mongoloids still pushing that lie?

>without spacex we’d be reliant on soyuz and that’s scary
>no, the station would have shut down because Washington wouldn’t want to pay for that
>they’d just pay a lot more to Boeing and use soyuz in the meantime
>no, there’s no way the government would be willing to pay russia anything in current year
>we wouldn’t be paying russia we can do seat swaps because of dragon

>>15267816
They wont even have one for Artemis just and LPD, a carrier is way too important an asset to waste for that, especially since this is in the Gulf

>No fewer than fifty engineers and scientists would fly to the moon aboard three spacecraft assembled in earth orbit. At 3964 metric tons each, one of these spacecraft alone, already in earth orbit, had the same mass as the Saturn V used 16 years later to launch the actual first lunar voyage from the earth's surface. Two of the lunar landers would house 20 crew, and one 10 crew plus 259 metric tons of cargo for lunar exploration. The cargo lander would be left on the lunar surface; the crew would return in two of the landers, 25 men per spacecraft.

Unironically I think this is the end of the human race.
To counteract a declining consumer base, corporations will promote the "rights" of robots (who are not actually sentient, but we will never ever be able to tell they are not, and midwits will think they are).
These dumb soulless robots will go about their routines, buying consumer products, in an empty simulacrum of the real human thing of yesteryear, while low birth rates continue to guarantee the extinction of the human race. Not that the market would care -- a solution has already been implemented.

>Around three and a half minutes into the flight, Deke Slayton, the capsule communicator, cut in to ask Schirra "Are you a turtle today?" Schirra, unfazed, announced that he was switching to the on-board voice recorder (rather than the broadcast radio circuit) to leave his answer; the mission communications transcript noted this as "[correct answer recorded]".[37] The "turtle club" was a recurrent joke among the astronaut corps; on being challenged with this question, the correct response was "you bet your sweet ass I am", with a failure to give the password being punishable by buying a round of drinks. Schirra noted later that he "wasn't ready for all the world to hear it", and chose to use the on-board recorder to avoid saying the answer over the air.

>>15268621
well, a lot of startups might get wiped out which would include both launch and payload companies, VC money for new startups might slow down for a while
if this affects the economy as a whole and triggers some kind of recession then idk, less launches in general? SpaceX probably has enough cash etc to last through a recession though
doubt its going to go that far though

At what do you think point will antimatter production will be cheap enough and large-scale enough for an antimatter-powered propulsion method to be a realistic possibility? As far as I see it, the fact that 100% of the mass is converted into energy means there aren't really any other fuel sources that could even hope to compete with it

Obsolete technology anon
>Future interstellar rockets may use laser-induced annihilation reactions for relativistic drive
>Interstellar probes and future interstellar travel will require relativistic rockets. The problem is that such a rocket drive requires that the rocket exhaust velocity from the fuel also is relativistic, since otherwise the rocket thrust is much too small: the total mass of the fuel will be so large that relativistic speeds cannot be reached in a reasonable time and the total mass of the rocket will be extremely large. Until now, no technology was known that would be able to give rocket exhaust at relativistic speed and a high enough momentum for relativistic travel. Here, a useful method for relativistic interstellar propulsion is described for the first time. This method gives exhaust at relativistic speeds and is a factor of at least one hundred better than normal fusion due to its increased energy output from the annihilation-like meson formation processes. It uses ordinary hydrogen as fuel so a return travel is possible after refuelling almost anywhere in space. The central nuclear processes have been studied in around 20 publications, which is considered to be sufficient evidence for the general properties. The nuclear processes give relativistic particles (kaons, pions and muons) by laser-induced annihilation-like processes in ultra-dense hydrogen H(0). The kinetic energy of the mesons is 1300 times larger than the energy of the laser pulse. This method is superior to the laser-sail method by several orders of magnitude and is suitable for large spaceships.

That ridiculous plaque was invented for the purpose of advertising Star Trek movies, theres no evidence it was ever even attached to the spacecraft for launch. Its just a promotional picture posing as science for the purpose of selling jewish entertainment products.

They keep welding shit in the OLM. I assume it is in the inner side where cameras can't see. I hope they aren't planning to weld the underside of the OLM too after all this because that pretty much guarantees no launch in March

>>15269532

How does the docking port survive reentry?

What do you mean

>>15269839
The nose of a lifting body gets very hot during reentry so putting a docking port there is a bad idea

That's why serious spaceplane designs have rear or top mounted docking ports, and integrated service modules.

What lifting body? It's clearly got a capsule.
If you mean the engines, they don't go to orbit so they don't have to worry about re-entry heat.
And that is why having BE-4 engines on Vulcan will still not get a single gram of Blue Origin equipment to orbit.

>The use of water and waste gases as propellant, besides reducing the mass of the system by a factor of ten or more, has enormous safety implications. 90% oxygen by mass, water can be used to generate oxygen via electrolysis, a simple process. By weight, it is comparable to lead as a radiation shielding material, so simply by placing water reservoirs around crew rest areas, the ship can reduce the crew’s radiation exposure several fold over the course of a mission. It is an excellent heat sink and can be used to regulate the temperature of the ship environment. The abundance of water also allows the life support system to be based on a one-pass or open loop design. Open loop systems will be much more reliable and basically maintenance free compared to a closed loop system such as what is used on the ISS. The abundance of water will also make the ships much more comfortable on a long journey.
>These ships will not be destination specific. They will be able to travel to destinations throughout the inner solar system, including cislunar space, Venus, Mars and with a large enough solar photovoltaic sail, to the Asteroid Belt and the dwarf planets Ceres and Vesta. They’ll be more like the Clipper ships of the past than the throwaway rocket + capsule design pattern we’ve all grown up with, and their component technologies can be upgraded with each outbound flight.
