@Dr_JhonPaul@Miss1onControl When we find an application for nuclear or an economically viable reason for antimatter. Chemical is great for atmosphere, especially due to the relatively high TWR and high atmospheric efficiency. Nuclear is mostly good for immensely high wet-mass craft in-vacuum.
@booster_10 Honestly it’s probably worth it considering that stage two doesn’t have to carry fairing equipment- and it could theoretically allow for quicker turnaround on RTLS profiles.
@RedDrdRdmptn@BarryPr77845370@MarsResident027@SpaceX Considering SpaceX has made half of the current reusable rocket families on Earth, I’d say he’s pretty willing, and timescale is the only thing that slips.
@78338477jdjdjs@Polymarket You’re thinking of a different SpaceX rocket called Falcon 9. This is Starship, totally different. They’ve caught the first stage 3 times, and plan on catching the second stage for the first time by month’s end.
@CarlyleSmith@Polymarket That’s because Falcon 9 can’t fly that often. It uses a highly refined kerosene as fuel which produces lots of soot. The soot has to be cleaned out of the engines each flight, and a second stage has to be manufactured again. Starship cancels all of Falcon’s reusability issues.
@ecko5127@Polymarket And why is this? Full reusability lowers turnaround time significantly, so does multiple pads and vehicles. It’s definitely possible, especially with 39A and Pad 1&2 at Starbase up and running. Maybe even a pad at SLC-37 is up.
@sassenlroussi@jjbarkenhagen@dpoddolphinpro@SpaceX Yet the money only comes after achievements are made. It’s a firm-fixed-price milestone-based contract. And depots are not required for initial HLS missions- only the HLS and any other female ship for refueling. And 3 years for that is very bear.
Looks like due to a wrongful termination and blatant rule inconsistency on @Roblox's part, the game may no longer continue. Any appeal of mine is disregarded by bots, with no human seeing the case. Thank you for your support!
@lyndalovon@DimaZeniuk To be fair, anything is a natural habitat if you want to use that vague of a definition. And I’d also reason it’s a justified use of earth because it benefits humanity. And “destroy” is a stretch.
