@SpaceKoala Why need it be an SSTO? Just land a multi-stage vehicle. But gonna need an enormous amount of hardware for any crewed landing. That's a challenge I'd love to see us tackle 😎

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@SpaceKoala Certainly we need more data overall, but I think the default "1g is best" is pretty reasonable given it's what we evolved in. But yeah all of these anti-space settling arguments are just complaining about engineering challenges and possible issues with little data to support.

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@SpaceKoala Yeah I feel like there's a point where the diminishing returns of more data get outweighed by all these other factors you mention in the positive vs negative space.

@aviationbrk @bscholl can we get an Overture in this scheme? Just asking for reasons 😉

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@thejackbeyer Looked like you once had a nice catalytic converter there... Would be a shame if something were to have happened to it. 🫠🙃

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@WLimestall @frigorifer1 @JPMajor Would've been cool to keep at least a yearly cadence of interplanetary missions going in some form. Be it Moon landings, Venus/Mars flybys, even Martian moon landings would've been fascinating.

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@JPMajor @GaryNicholls52 This always seems like a weird point to me tbh. Like, it's not that you're in the shadow of the moon per se... It's that your eyes are adjusted to bright light. So I'd think if you just shield your eyes for a few moments from any other light you'd start to see some stars too

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@TheOnlyJQuon @DJSnM That'd make sense. Externally mounted equipment you wouldn't want to hit.

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@spacecoastwest @SLDelta30 Kinda weird to see continued development on Falcon launch sites when Starship is seemingly around the corner. Perhaps they'll build it in such a way as to minimize alternations needed for Starship??

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@DJSnM @SciGuySpace I've heard what you are describing as a "stop drill" not a drill stop 😅 (I'm not an A&P)

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@SpaceKoala Yeah I literally want all of those things

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@Alexphysics13 @scssoftwares Running LOX to starbase 👀

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@Alexphysics13 @scssoftwares Ooo good point good point.. wouldn't mind other launch sites as well xD

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@gorskon Yeah that's what he means. Negotiation with weapons. 😅

Also didn't Trump say something about Iranian unconditional surrender when this all started? 🤔 The backpedaling is fun to watch.

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@Cmdr_Hadfield Wow I can barely pickup a dime on the kitchen floor without gloves 😅

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@KenKirtland17 It'll be really fun to watch this guy's reasons for why he was wrong about all of this in a handful of years.

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@KenKirtland17 Okay this would be cool.

[Tyler Perkins @AstroSkeptic]

@aptera_motors Wish I could have one of these someday. Such a beautiful demonstration of efficiency.
