And the thing no one talks about is that Musk sperged that whole "we must go to mars and make humans a multi-planet species" bullshit was entirely so he could get more US taxpayer funding for Spacex. The falcon series is a great rocket and the reusability is saving them a fortune but the problem is for the starlink concept to work they need an entirely reusable launch vehicle and one that can carry a whole bunch of mass (a heavy lift vehicle.)

But such a mammoth vehicle wouldn't be appealing to normie tax payers if the sales pitch was, "give me billions of dollars to develop a massive reusable rocket so I can flood your skies with thousands of low orbiting satellites." Elon used the old reach for the stars schtick to sell his plan. Thats why we're really only seeing starship with the "pez door" being built, because launching his satellite array is priority 1. They'll say they'll test other stuff as the program continues but at the rate they're going it'll be 30 years before they design a human-rated version.

His feed is still mostly boring ragebait and MAGA slop. He's still mindlessly believing anything the algorithm feeds him. He doesn't even post cringe AI CGI anymore.

He has the same philosophical moments Jaden Smith got made fun of for, the only difference is Jaden was 14.

I do actually think that might be one of his plans. Basically a parallel internet run like X is. With something like that he’d be able to (random example), subvert the Chinese filtering, and throw that country into civil war by stoking up existing tensions with unfettered AI fakery.

There’s a lot at stake.

Starlink already uses a laser mesh between the satellites to implement its own backhaul for low latency traffic - at the moment that’s sold at a premium to broadcasters and high frequency traders, but the point is it can be done.

Oh and a reminder to everyone. Elon didn't originally start Spacex with the intention of building a reusable rocket platform. In fact, he wanted to buy old surplus Soviet missiles and convert them into rockets. The idea had been around before and ome company bought some surplus Russian rocket engines (that one video of a rocket lifting off and getting like 50 feet in the air, hovering for a second then falling over and exploding was one of the rockets made with such engines.)



An actual rocket scientist that knew about the abandoned (or rather no-longer financed by the government) McDonnel Douglas DC-X Delta Clipper program (which used off the shelf parts to build a booster that performed several successful test flights similar to Spacex's grasshopper) convinced him to pick up the idea and run with it. This was wise and was actually not a knew concept at all. The DC-X program started in like 1990 and was a concept long before that. While not exactly the same idea the lunar lander was itself a type of landing rocket meant to later be used as a launch vehicle (yes I'm aware its a very different design that left behind the descent stage but the principle of reusing a rocket after refueling goes back to the Buck Rogers days.)

So Elon really isn't some savant genius. He was a rich dude that listened to a legit engineer who himself knew about a legit experiment that looked very promising. The same results, a reusable booster, could have been achieved by any American corporation in the same time-frame had they been properly funded and had proper management (the other crux of the McDonnell Douglas program.) Don't give that turd any credit for the successes, any rich asshole could've done it, even the American tax payers.

Like everything Musk peddles, that sounds like over-engineered, impractical bullshit.

The irony is that the Starship model is looking less and less legit as time goes on. They seriously pitched it as a lunar mission vehicle. It is wildly unsuitable for that, having like 100x the mass needed.
That annoying English guy did a video debunking it, but the short version is that it would require dozens of starship launches to get enough fuel into orbit to burn to the moon and back. So far they can barely get one booster into orbit and back, years after this was supposed to be routine. The landing certainly looks impressive but I’m not convinced the failure rate is getting any better and “fuel efficiency” might actually turn out to be a problem.

A more pleasantly-accented person who used to being a weapons testing engineer for the DoD reckons it's about a dozen Starship launches for each one that goes to the Moon:
I s'pose the fact that the 1st stage is reusable makes it less eyebrow-raising.

Yeah I've heard the Starships that broke up during launch were lightweight versions as the ones that have survived mostly intact are so heavy they significantly underperform on payload capability. Something like that, might also be something with the engines not putting out quite enough thrust. Either way its not looking nearly as impressive as a few years back when they caught the booster.

Would be nice if it at least works as a LEO heavy lift thats fully reusable. I hate Elon but I'm cool with the SpaceX team being successful, its kind of fun pointing out how worthless Elon is to all of it.

And they still have to solve the reentry sequence. The Space Shuttle famously had a failure during that stage despite having way more work and research put into the heat shield system. Buran, the Russian Shuttle that flew only one unmanned mission, was rumored (by an engineer working on the program who spoke decades after) says that Buran suffered some serious burn-throughs that were bad enough that they weren't sure the could launch it a second time. Sounds like it had some Columbia-type failures (and the Shuttles had suffered smaller burn throughs over the years but fortunately none of them had been in areas that caused a failure of the vehicle during reentry.)

Thats the part I'm nervous about. Every Starship thats gotten to the reentry phase has had some serious burn through in areas that would need a major rebuild after each flight. The tweaks don't seem to be sealing all those areas up very well so far. Plus as I mentioned above, rumor is those Starships are a heavy version which lowers the overall payload.

And as "cool" as it sounds the whole active cooling idea isn't going to work. Again, referencing the Space Shuttle which used a similar technique to keep the engine bells from melting during liftoff. You can see these rings going around them, those are cooling lines that run some cyrogas through them. An engineer had calculated that you could lose upto 5 of these lines before the engine would fail--and it'd fail so fast that even the computer wouldn't be able to shut it down before it blew up the other engines and the whole vehicle (likely.)

On the only Shuttle mission to ever abort after liftoff (Abort to Lower Orbit--I know its not the kind of Abort we think of but it was technically one of the Abort modes) one of the big ass control rods that helped steer the engines (or gimbal them) snapped off and slammed through one of the engine bells. The computer shutdown the engine and they aborted to a lower orbit than originally intended and completed the mission anyways. Think this was Atlantis. Anyways, when they got home they looked at the damaged engine--3 lines had been severed. They were 2 lines from a full loss of crew and vehicle. Thats a damn tight margin.

I wouldn't want to be on a Starship during reentry they relied on such an active cooling scheme that (as far as I know) has never been used during a reentry sequence for any vehicle, man or unmanned.

Ah yes the brilliant "fly by wire" door handles. What could possibly go wrong with that?

And the cyber trucks unbreakable windows have already been called out by fire fighters as a super retarded idea. Takes way more work to break through them and rescue the passengers.

Elon likes his customers charred.

regenerative cooling is pretty much required for engines, cuz otherwise they'd melt

but using it anywhere else is a bit sketchy

ablatives work just fine and have less ways they can fail, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, especially when there's life on the line

I'm not assmad enough at Elon to think anyone who buys his shit deserves to be charred to death for it, but it does seem to be a thing that happens. Imagine paying a huge premium to have some worthless shitbox where the doors don't even work.

How long have we had cars? How long have they had doors?

Why the fuck would some autistic retard invent a car door that doesn't fucking work the one time your life depends on it?

To be fair they do have an emergency pull-tab releases on the inside (and I think some emergency exterior access panels or something for opening them from the outside after an accident.)

I could only find photos of the interior ones. Heres a montage of the different models:








None of these are particularly simple to operate. Imagine trying to figure this out after being in an accident? And these are no help if the passengers are knocked unconscious by the collision.

Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I've owned several cars spanning several decades and using a few different kinds of handles (the push button, the hand you pull out, the handle you pull up, etc) and I've never needed an instruction course to figure out how to use any of those designs.

No thanks to these killer door handle designs. The Jeets can have them.
