The Continuation and Proliferation of Humans is all that matters || Humans are the Arbiters of Life || We honestly need more advanced Rocket Engine Turbines
@ga0_lab My advice is find what you’re good at and what you love; there is a really nice sweet spot where you will just have an absolute blast every day at work if you’re in that zone!
@ga0_lab Very fair lol
Is making it more consumer-esque meant so you can sell it or so you learn manufacturing at scale? Both skills can be very valuable :P
@MelanieMj77@ks8dwxx9vz@TheYASQueen93@thereisnobeth Interestingly, you will never need a technician to go up and fix it because of how cheap each sat will be! All you do is deorbit (something already planned as these days will be obsolete very quickly) and replace any broken sat
@Mookafish@GrantObi The issue is framing; they just don’t understand.
Talk about lunar mining in terms of stopping industrial pollution
Talk about terraforming mars in terms of helping Earth’s climate
Talk about mining Mercury in terms of discovering new physics and “warm drive”
@SpaceKoala You’re not accounting for resource abundance in there, meaning the chart should be growing even faster than that.
We will likely see K2 in ~70 years
@CatboyRocketry@elonmusk@amechi_nwandu@SawyerMerritt For perspective, saying that is basically the same as saying Starlink shouldn’t be a part of SpaceX either. SpaceXAI is the natural progression of the company based off their stated goals regarding the Moon and Mars, not to mention a Dyson Swarm.
@Xaraphim I think we’re much closer than people realize. I made this spreadsheet in like 10 minutes while watching tv; it’s not particularly in depth but it is a good starting off point (especially since I put no effort or thought into it)

Wait, can someone poke holes into this idea?
If you want to regen cool a turbine in the mcc, send most of the prop down the axel of the shaft(limits F_c) with a small portion being used to both regen cool and film cool the turbine. It should lower pump requirements drastically
As rocketry becomes more mainstream, it necessitates increasingly advanced and powerful engines; this is where the Tap-In cycle comes into play. Turbines integrated to the MCC will revolutionize rocketry as we know it.

Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
