Are Rockets Like Legos?
Congress and NASA have long stressed the importance of redundancy. Yet Artemis has no for redundancy for crew delivery to the moon's orbit. In Part 2 of the SLS redundancy Series we will investigate "Frankenrockets" that could provide this critical redundancy to Artemis and vastly improve its cadence.

HLS Starship for Artemis Crew Missions
Переглядів 16 тис.2 роки тому
Congress and NASA have long stressed the importance of redundancy, especially with the recent sole selection of HLS spawning multiple hearings and a congressional mandate for NASA to have 2 landers. Yet Artemis has no for redundancy for crew delivery to the moon's orbit. This video series will investigate this dissonance and propose currently feasible methods for SLS redundancy.

    The calculations in this video are laughable. Even if Starship could take 120t to orbit, which has not been proved. Spacex has admitted that Starship’s Delta-V is 6,900ms. This is enough to get to the moon, but how would it get back? This has just been glossed over in this video. If Apogee wants to be taken seriously, as do any Muskite, show me their calculations of the whole round trip. The same goes for all the other destinations.

    how you use it is: propose it to kill the other realistic proposals. then a few years later artemis three has no hls. the same way one might use an unrealistic hyperloop proposal to kill a real technology like a high speed train. it's hard though because you're going to need to find stupid people who think they're smarter than everyone else and get them to shill for you and never admit wrong. see dunning Kruger.

The National Team was over NASA's budget, had numerous issues with their lander, and it didn't fit the goals for the mission. Dynetics was even more over budget and couldn't land the required payload for NASA. The GAO went through all documents publicly and publicly stated that NASA's decision was legal and had no major issues. The National Team had to drastically change their lander to conform to NASA's requires AND they needed to reduce the price by nearly half. It wasn't until those changes were made that they were given the second contract. And even that required Congress to increase NASA's budget.

    I'm surprised there aren't comments about how Blue is actually looking to buy ULA, which I find kind of funny because you framed it as a speculative idea. Did Bezos watch this video and get a lightbulb moment? 😂 Another reason why Blue might want ULA is for their work on Cislunar-1000, which, while not nearly as ambitious as Blue Origin's goals of millions of people, I believe coincides nicely with a near term goal of establishing an early Cislunar economy. Plus ACES, and orbital depots.

    Absolutely, the use of air vents for directing airflow in a space station could be beneficial not just for moving cargo, but also for managing fluids and responding to accidents in a microgravity environment. Additionally, integrating such a system with artificial gravity pathways and AI control adds another layer of functionality and efficiency. 1. **Fluid Management:** In microgravity, liquids behave differently, forming floating globules that can be hard to contain. Using directed airflow through vents could help guide these fluids to designated areas, preventing them from causing damage or interfering with equipment and operations. 2. **Accident Response:** In the event of a spill or the release of hazardous materials, controlled airflow could be used to quickly move these substances away from sensitive areas or crew members, directing them to containment zones. 3. **Integration with Artificial Gravity Pathways:** Your idea of using this airflow system in conjunction with rotating sections of the station for artificial gravity is intriguing. The air vents could help in smoothly transitioning objects or crew from the microgravity parts of the station to the rotating sections. This would necessitate precise control to match the speed and direction of the moving parts to ensure safety and efficiency. 4. **AI Control:** Utilizing artificial intelligence to manage this system would be essential for handling the complexities involved. AI could continuously monitor and adjust airflow, respond to changing conditions, and ensure the safe and efficient transport of objects and fluids. It could also coordinate with other systems on the station, like life support and navigation, to optimize overall functionality. This concept presents a multifaceted approach to space station management, leveraging the unique properties of the space environment and advanced technology to create a safer, more efficient living and working space. 3/

But otherwise you do a very good job with descriptions and helping people understand how things work and how we should look at costs for systems such as rockets. Very well done.

Mechazilla is a shot in the dark without tested analysis. Ship is Already proven. Slow is smooth,and smooth is fast! (Military term). I know they have to get the hovering analysis first; but sea landing will only give them so much. Start strong then progress.. just don’t dump it in the ocean and learn a fraction, when u can use a drone ship to test. To much to say; very frustrating but optimistic at the same time.

In a word, no! Is there a demand for a "MARS ROCKET" which, even when perfected (if that ever happens) will be capable of doing NOTHING other than getting into low Earth orbit unless it is "refueled in orbit" using a process which has not even been vaguely described, much less designed, built, tested, and demonstrated? In a word, NO! STARSHIP is poised to challenge HYPERLOOP as Musk's most ridiculous pipe dream ever. Don't hold your breath waiting for this thing to go to Mars. Musk is not an engineer, a scientist, or a technical expert in anything. He is, however, very good at taking credit for other people's creativity and hard work, exaggerating his own qualifications and accomplishments, stealing the ideas of others, and promoting vaporware. He is, in essence a con artist, a salesman, a carnival barker, and the rocket science equivalent of a TV evangelist.

    Yes, this IS a literal PIPE DREAM! Starship will NEVER go to Mars, and it will be a miracle if it ever goes to the Moon. The point to point transport of people or cargo on Earth will also NEVER happen. This entire concept is ludicrous. Orbital refueling is an IDEA lacking ANY concrete plans or designs, much less any practical demonstration. "Reusing" Starship will be explored sometime in the future when it stops blowing up on the pad, blowing up in flight, or simply crashing uncontrolled to Earth. ZERO Starships launched thus far are now scrap metal unlikely to be "reused." Musk is NOT an engineer, NOT a scientist, but he has hired good people who have accomplished amazing things with the rockets and systems they have designed and created, and THOSE projects are what should be their focus going forward, especially since Space X is mostly funded by taxpayer money, NONE of which should be wasted on Musk's silly, pointless vanity project called "Starship." NOBODY is going to Mars in this century, period.
