My personal favorite nebula.

>>15855346
Nebula are an optical illusion produced by hypersensitive snowflake telescopes and they give the false impression of dust whe there isn't any. In fact, nebula are mostly empty space.

Quantized Inertia thrusters reached orbit before Blue Origin despite the company being older than the original MiHsC paper.

>>15855354
Doesn't make them any less beautiful.

Hubble had the most sovlfvl images. Somehow JWST just seems to suck any life out of them, yeah they're better but it's just not the same as when we first saw them, and the graininess gave it some character.

>>15855359
Hubble images being visible light means there's much less guesswork about how to colorize them. False color adaptations of non visible wavelengths always look fake because they are.

>>15855362
That's what it was. Hubble really was just better, fucking love every planetary nebula image it ever provided. JWST was a mistake.

>>15855359
They are not really better, Hubble sees a similar range to human eye, so the images seem more normal. JWST images from I think orange to mid infrared, so it can see through the nebula, but it doesn't seem like anything that you could see on the sky. Both have compaable resolution, infrared is harder to focus, so it needs a bigger mirror.

Fuck I should've just called this Hubble edition. I'll let you anons get back to it, amerilards need their sleep.

>>15855369
Isn't the OP image from Euklid?

>>15855362
All are colorized. They are at best a bit reddish, the colors only come from long exposure photos through filters.

>>15855368
JWST images look like artsy hollywood color theory junk where they make everything look orange and blue bc they hate life

>>15855375
Yeah but I ended up just obsessing over Hubble again. Looks pretty kino though, old school Hubble vibes, wishing it the best.

>>15855362
Nebula pictures with Hubble are just as "wrong" because it's done with narrowband filters which are are nothing like what we see and do not correspond to the natural colours. Narrowband filters only let though a small range of wavelengths, this makes nebulae appear much brighter relative to the stars than you would see by eye. The classic Hubble palette has Oxygen III (a blue wavelength as blue, 502 nm), Sulphur II (a red wavelength as red, 673 nm), and Hydrogen Balmer alpha (a red wavelength as Green, 657 nm). So all the green in your image is actually red visible light.
Nebulae don't look like this to the human eye, the reason you think they should look like this is because you've seen a lot of these pictures.

JWST images are generally done with broad filters, it doesn't really have a lot of narrowband filters. They're also mostly ordered in a sensible way, blue to red, shortest wavelength to longest.

Apparently there will be some data released in about 10 months, and more a year after that. But we may see individual discoveries published before that, like very high redshift quasars or special gravitational lenses. A major data release will happen in about 2 years, you can probably expect cosmology results around then.

'Sooner rather than later': Texas congressmen press for SpaceX's Starship launch approval
---
https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/gonzales-starship-letter-18485045.php
> U.S. Reps. Tony Gonzales and Vicente Gonzalez sent a letter Friday to agency Director Martha Williams calling for “timely environmental review” of the company’s launch operations.
> “The United States is currently in a space race with the rest of the world — and the Federal government should not hinder public companies as they develop and push United States to remain a leader in the space exploration realm,” the congressmen wrote. “It is of the utmost importance that FWS makes their environmental review decision sooner rather than later.”
> The letter is the latest sign of growing pressure from SpaceX to return to flight after the FAA grounded Starship in the aftermath of an April 20 flight that revealed serious safety and environmental concerns with its operations.
> Gonzales, a San Antonio Republican, and Gonzalez, a McAllen Democrat, said regulatory delay “greatly impacts SpaceX’s operations in South Texas” and potentially hurts the region’s economy.
>“SpaceX is one of the largest employers in the Rio Grande Valley, employing over 1,700 people — and is a major economic driver in the area,” they wrote. “A further delay in the environmental review will continue to harm the small businesses and tourism industry of South Texas.”
> NASA officials have also been chiming in about Starship’s return to flight. On Friday, the Washington Post quoted NASA administrator Bill Nelson as saying “It is essential to us that SpaceX be able to test their rocket.”
>He continued, “I am given to believe that they are going to get the approval of Fish and Wildlife and therefore the FAA. I don’t know the timing, but of course a major delay would be of very considerable concern to NASA.”

Musk toured the border along the bank of the Rio Grande to see firsthand the ongoing migrant crisis, which he has called a "serious issue."
> Rep. Tony Gonzales, a retired Navy cryptologist, said he’s “majorly focused on space.” He held the space portfolio during his time as a Department of Defense fellow for then-Sen. Marco Rubio.
>Gonzales has also built connections with Musk. In late September, he met with the tech mogul in Eagle Pass to discuss border issues.

>>15855603
They know that FWS won't give the approval this week.
It's unironically over.

>>15855354
They aren't an optical illusion, your brain simply struggles to comprehend the immense scale involved. Nebula are less dense than the immediate vicinity of the Sun but are cubic lightyears in size, so all the diffuse mass adds up. It's like how mist in the morning can be so thin it's invisible within ten meters, yet it fully obscures the tree line across the field. I have been hunting deer lately.

https://spacenews.com/halo-space-eos-x-and-arthur-d-little-spain-indicted-for-unlawful-use-of-zero-2-infinitys-trade-secrets/
> SAN FRANCISCO – Halo Space, Eos X Space Technologies Corp. and Arthur D. Little Spain were indicted Oct. 31 in Madrid on charges of unlawful discovery of the trade secrets of Spanish high-altitude balloon company Zero 2 Infinity.
> The case stems from Zero 2 Infinity’s allegations that the people hired to raise money for its space tourism business established two competing firms based on Zero 2 Infinity’s intellectual property.
> Lopez-Urdiales established Zero 2 Infinity in 2009. The idea stemmed from his paper published at the 2002 International Astronautical Congress in Houston, “The Role of Balloons in Future Development of Space Tourism,” and his patent for a pressurized pod for hosting passenger on journeys to and from space or near-space granted by the European Patent Office.

> Rogue Space has won several Space Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts for technologies in support of satellite-servicing vehicles, such as a cubesat dispenser and a magnetic system for stabilizing tumbling space objects.
> During the Barry-1 deployment, Rogue will test internal and customer-developed algorithms as it collects data on various aspects of spaceflight. It also will test customer payloads from the propulsion startup IVO. The company is developing so-called IVO Quantum Drive electric propulsion technology for low-Earth orbit spacecraft.

I don't understand this meme. Hotstaging has never had this failure mode occur even with aluminum construction. That interstage ring is built like a brick house and is made of a much more heat tolerant material too. SpaceX could have slapped 25 tonnes of steel into it without harming the launch, too.
I personally have zero FUD in regards to the hot staging.

SpaceX launches final pair of O3b mPower satellites needed for commercial services, Has ESA Stacked the Deck for The Exploration Company?
----
https://spacenews.com/spacex-launches-final-pair-of-o3b-mpower-satellites-needed-for-commercial-services/
> TAMPA, Fla. — SpaceX launched a third pair of O3b mPower satellites Nov. 12, enough for SES to start services next year from a constellation grappling with electrical issues that have reduced initial capacity.
> SpaceX was slated to launch the fifth and sixth O3b mPower satellites by the end of June, but the mission was put on hold after what at first appeared to be a minor glitch that is sporadically tripping off power modules on the first four in orbit.
> SES said Oct. 31 that their electrical issues were worse than initially thought, and will significantly reduce operational life and broadband capacity.

https://europeanspaceflight.com/has-esa-stacked-the-deck-for-the-exploration-company/
> With the announcement of its commercial cargo programme, the European Space Agency appears to have stacked the deck to allow for only one challenger to be eligible to compete.
> The details here are interesting, so let’s spell them out. Although the exact performance minimums weren’t broadly shared with the announcement, a LinkedIn post from ESA director of human and robotic exploration Daniel Neuenschwander revealed that the agency would require vehicles competing for the cargo service contracts to be able to transport four tonnes to low Earth orbit and return two tonnes back to Earth. This is, however, not what was originally stated.
> In May, ESA published the first version of call for the development of a commercial cargo transportation service. That call had the same required launch date but had a minimum delivery capacity of two tonnes to low Earth orbit and a return capacity of one tonne.

>>15855661
At sea level, the plume from one Raptor at 100% thrust erodes 1 inch of steel per second - and at a much greater standoff distance than the gap between the engines and hot staging ring are positioned on Starship/Super Heavy. Elon isn't memeing when he calls it the world's most powerful cutting torch. Granted, the higher altitude will reduce some of that, but even then I still think the hot staging ring is a very reasonable expected failure point.

Going forwards SpaceX will probably continue making boosters conventionally and having separate hot staging rings that attach to the fore dome by the hold-down clamps (just like booster 9, 10 and I think 11), since the hot staging rings are going to be single-use for at least until they get a monthly flight cadence going and can test raptor-resistant materials (starship tiles are too structurally weak to withstand the pressure, and the heat isn't even really a problem to begin with)

I tend to think that the automation revolution will be a lot like the industrial revolution. There will be a period of huge, transformative growth in capability while simultaneously the average joe will hate it, be swept up in huge economic changes, and will continue to grumble about it 200 years after the fact. People will end up having access to luxuries far beyond what we have today, yet being numb to it and depressed by life in general because it's so far removed from the life they were evolved to live. The first groups to build out a fully automated industrial base will be the equivalent of the giant oil tycoons of the past, wealth inequality will go insane but the average poor will still be 100x richer than today's poors just by association (like modern africans herding goats and charging cellphones in their huts).

Overall I think it's interesting and inevitable and I look forward to the seething online.

Like I said the limiting factor is cost. Boston dynamics dont sell well and nearly went bankrupt because their robots are just more expensive than a meatsack wageslave.

I think the day automation becomes cheaper than the cheapest human labor for the majority of applications is very soon. One of the big barriers is cheaply automating the production of the robots you've designed to cheaply automate industry with. Really though, this can be done once you have a good automation robot designed, simply by funding the construction of a starter population of robots using traditional methods. I think Tesla is the most likely progenitor of this tech and also the most likely player to adopt this automated workflow first. They'll use something descended from Optimus to automate the production line that builds copies of itself, then use those machines to automate cars and batteries, then whatever else Elon's companies are working on, plus more. There's a lot of incentive to sell these robots far and wide too, because it doesn't just make money on the robots, it has a measureable effect on the price of all materials and products over time, that being, costs go down as human labor is supplanted.

A fully automated production line saves the cost of human labor in that factory, ie several percent reduction on cost. A fully automated supply chain laves the cost of human labor from start to finish, ie a majority reduction on cost. What does one robot cost when other robots built it? What does one robot cost when no human touched, or even looked at, any component of the robot or even its raw materials at any point during manufacture?

BD robots suck for using for automation. They are "dumb", and other than acting as capable platforms for custom programming some cool parkour moves, not very useful at all.
BD robots aren't designed with automation and industries in mind. The first group to design and build a robot which is meant for automation and is half as good at that task as BD robots are at doing flips, is the first group to have a labor solution that costs less than any human anywhere, no matter how poor the local economy.

no, they don't sell well because they can't do anything useful
if you think the boston dynamics robot and Optimus are in any way comparable, you don't know anything about this
the critical difference is AI, the boston dynamics robot is just run of the mill control engineering with no autonomy
a robot with no autonomy is useless, no matter the cost
the fact that they haven't been designed to be mass manufacturable, have battery life of 30 minutes etc are all very distant to the fact that they are actually just useless

Because 9/10 times they're never in the political light are always desperately clawing for more funding for their work and research. Being massive fags means a lot more eyes on them, and its a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to Congress and be like "you want this to go faster? Give us $20Bn for our budget next year and we will. Else, my hands are tied."

It's all a game.

> In August, Kemp told Ars that it wasn't fair to say Astra was in a fight for its survival.
>"I could characterize the launch business at Astra as fighting for its survival, but I wouldn’t characterize Astra as fighting for its survival," Kemp said. "Astra has always had the option of just stopping the launch business."
> In seven orbital launch attempts, Rocket 3 failed five times, but some of these launches were test flights without functioning satellites on board. Astra moved on from Rocket 3 after a launch failure in June 2022 destroyed two NASA hurricane research satellites. Nevertheless, Astra's successful missions put the company in a small group of a new wave of startups that have achieved orbit, alongside Rocket Lab, Firefly Aerospace, and Virgin Orbit, which went bankrupt earlier this year.
>Bloomberg reported in October that Astra was considering selling off a majority stake in its in-space propulsion business to help shore up Astra's tenuous financial situation, at least in the short term, as the company appeared to be just months away from running out of money.
> Earlier this month, Astra reported in an SEC filing that it defaulted on a loan as its cash reserve dropped below $10.5 million. A few days later, the company said it raised approximately $13.4 million from a pair of investors to pay off the loan.
> Then, on Thursday, Astra announced Kemp and London's offer to take the company private. This capped a rocky week for the company, and the story isn't over.

I've tried to listen to Off Nominal multiple times but I just can't

No news regarding the license ?

>>15855925
they've had it since thursday

>>15855925
TWO MONTHS

>>15855926
there's no trustable source on that

>>15855929
Spotlights on you retard

Last time, license was announced at 5:50pm EST. Berger teased the license at 3:30 EST. If license is truly dropping today, we might get a tease in 3 hours and 15 minutes, and an official license announcement from the FAA in 5 hours and 35 minutes. That is my expected timeline for a license announcement day, and if not today, apply the same timeframe for thursday, if allah compels the FWS and permits a license to drop this week.

The unsustainable birth rate of cities is nothing more than a symptom of a much larger problem.
Women in the workplace tanks personal economic freedom which tanks birth rate.
The reason more rural areas have higher birth rates is because the drastically lower land costs allow them to cope with the terrible economic conditions caused by working women.
End the expectation for all women to work the same as men do and the problem will solve itself.

>>15856164
Depends on the nation. In the Middle East, the only people keeping birthrates up are the highly religious.

>>15856164
Hope they start dropping in Africa too. I'm not too worried about the birthrates though as it will take quite a while before the population of the word drops to 5 million, which I think is a sustainable sweetspot.

Yeah I just calculated it, if I slurped a generous five new cocks every day, it would take over two million years. If I wanted to slurp four billion cocks in just 200 years, I'd have to suck 55 thousand cocks every day. Assuming I slept six hours per day and did nothing but suck dick for the rest of the day, it would be 3000 cocks per hour so 0.8 seconds per cock with 0.2 seconds to switch to the next one

Let me ask you this, have you ever heard of Lee? Do you think that maybe because you respond to bait or posts you consider shit that they continue to get posted just to make you mad? Do you think that does anything but encourage them?
We have been talking about spaceflight by the way, I just scrolled through this bad last thread and 90% of it is spaceflight discussions/reactions. It seems more like youre cherrypicking posts you dont like and construing them as not spaceflight even though they are.
This general is always 'unusable' if there are posts you dont like, but its very usable and does exactly its purpose. Not everyone can make two paragraph long posts about how Dreamchaser will never fly, some people just like to talk about news with others or banter about the general. If you dont like the posts, be the change you want to see instead of encouraging the posts you dont like by giving them a reaction.

I expect culture abroad from Earth to regain a strong sense of reverance for female fertility and how important having families really is. We're so populated on Earth that most people have forgotten that we are entirely, utterly dependent on women pushing babies out of their pussies to continue to exist. In deep space however there is no pool of poor retarded immigrants to pull from (Earth doesn't count) and even if there were, that would just lead to instant colony collapse syndrome. Space civilization in the long term depends on maintaining a fairly chill but very smart people with worldly systems and mechanisms experience, which requires indigenously raised children with high education standards and a high trust society.
Also, I'm speaking about long term here, not the initial effort to put 1m people on Mars or whatever. These guesses apply to a time period where the number of people living in space exceeds a billion and includes a large number of orbital habitats constructed in the asteroid belt.

It's real if you believe in it.

No, the only large area with a high birth rate today is Africa, specifically the poorer nations, and even those are slowing down sooner than expected.
Personally my only hope to avoid total collapse of modern civilization into a century long dark age is for SpaceXto establish a strong and competent fertility cult colony off-Earth which can continue growing rapidly even as Earth's population declines. Maybe one day they'd clear the remaining humans off of Earth so it can go back to being a perfect gem of a planet while we go on to garden the universe.

imagine having these images saved

>>15856492
I don't need to imagine.

The mind of a deranged individual or a glownigger

Thanks.

You should kill yourself immediately you fucking retard. 1 million is a commonly accepted absolute bare minimum for sustainability, which I personally don't even agree with (actual minimum for modern tech level is likely closer to 50m; a civilization of nothing but one million 25 to 45 year old experts can keep things running. A population of one million experts supported by 49 million average joes and janes doing regular jobs and having 2.2 kids each on average could *maybe* sustain itself.
This is partly why I claim 1m is a good start for a Mars colony, but we really need to target 1b.

This is now a Blue Origin thread.

Blue Who?

Anyways check out this rocket launching this week

>>15856484
You are never ever leaving this plane loser.

>>15856440
untrue

>>15856504
How do I become a man like Benzos?

>>15856504

>>15856511
whats the point of flying women on shuttles for 30 years and not testing this a few times?

>>15856524
Imagine the dark reality where Bezos is the man pushing the frontier and moon by the 100th anniversary of Apollo is the most realistic goal.

>>15856534
Shuttles and women live rent-free in your goybrain.

>>15856345
You do have it, and by you I mean you personally and by it I mean gay ass cancer because you're a huge faggot.

>>15856511
I'm not on a plane, though. I'm at home in my living room.

>>15856560
Ok fucker pull up then FUCKER

Have you ever wondered this?

>Work at a business servicing a NASA conference
>none of them know or care about the SpaceX launch

Absolutely grim.

>>15856598
well musk isnt confident in his own rockets. he doesnt even ride them which says volumes.

I'm out of the loop for months. Is anything happening this year or it's fucked?

>>15856623
yeah, they're launching starship again this friday

>>15856623
international flight tango 2 is this weekend.

>>15856614
It's blackpilling that even NASA scientists don't care about the rate of human spaceflight advancement, but it's a good sign any mildly competent person wanting a one way trip to Mars will probably not be competing with normies.

artemis sisters, whats going on?

>>15856651
>2026
2032

>>15856623
It's probably fucked yeah

I'm gonna be watching the situation like a hawk this week, because I WILL take Friday off work if it looks like it's gonna go.

I've decided I will not take the day off or make the day trip to Texas ensuring the successful launch on the 17th will happen. You can thank me later.

>>15856643
Most people in the busienss dont view SpaceX in high regard. It's one of those areas where there is a big gulf between people in the industry and fans of the industry. I know a few people in aerospace who think Falcon booster reuse does not save much money and that Starship will be worse than the shuttle

>>15856623
is SubsPlease the new HorribleSubs?

>>15856670
Thanks for your opinion thunderfag

>>15856651
Why can't NASA pull strings in the government to get Starship flying? They really must be some bitches. what happened to the days when they would build launch sites in the middle of nature reservesand give the middle finger to hippies?

>>15856660
WAIT WHAT

>>15856671
Isn't that AnimeTime?

>>15856660
chat is this it? tell me this is what we've been waiting for and not some unrelated bullshit

>>15856660
why are the launch windows exactly 4 hours 20 minutes long?

>>15856675

I see more SubsPlease filenames tho on here, /v/, etc

>>15856677
We've had FAA loicence for a while now. They can file launch dates but nothing can happen until the fishniggers give a loicence.
