Maybe not, but I think the planets we can access are bizarre as well. The very premise of walking around on the surface of some distant rock, which has never before been seen by eyes from this perspective (we assume), is somehow discomforting, in addition to the expected sensation of wonder. If I had to do the nightshift in some boring post on Mars I'd probably become terrified. Sometimes I like the visualize the world around me in purely scientistic terms, as a bunch of atoms jiggling about together operating in ways we imagine we understand, but that's just a coping mechanism.

I was thinking about Elon’s plan to light three Raptors then downselect to two. Anyhow if the two Raptors they use are on the “bottom” then all is fine but I don’t know how’s they be able to flip the vehicle if they had one “bottom” and one “top” Raptor because in that case the thrust is off axis. How do they flip it in the same direction?

I don't like civilization much at the moment, but it's nevertheless an island amidst "black seas of infinity", and I feel the world we inhabit seems somehow more familiar and comfortable because it's been traversed for countless generations by my ancestors before me. Both man and earlier forms.

Beyond that, it's a completely alien and foreign world, hiding god knows what from us.

If they only actuated the flaps it would flip. If they only used cold gas it would flip. The problem is not the ability to flip, it's that if you don't flip FAST then the Starship will accelerate due to gravity and therefore require a longer rocket engine burn to bring the velocity back down to zero, which means more propellant.

>The third one can still gimbal in the right direction, it shouldn't matter.
Same direction, yes, but the orientation of the ship due to its flaps puts two of the raptors much closer to the side that is "down" while in freefall such that they have more effect on the SS as a whole while flipping. The third one will certainly work, but it will need more thrust to have the same effect on the body because of its location.
They will just need to tweak the thrust vectoring to account for which raptors are used.

I know what you're saying but think about it for a minute: This is purely a PR flight to begin with, sending up a former cancer kid is specifically designed to try and get more people interested in flying to space, in a "wow you mean even defectives can into space?" sort of way.

> The Tiqqun text summarized this acquiescent citizen as the “Young-Girl”. The descriptor has met with objections for its alleged misogyny. But it applies to men as well as to women, and to the old as well as to the young, only seeking to capture the defining characteristics that make the populations of twenty-first century democracies so ripe for control.

These characteristics are: infantilisation, emotionalization, and relativisation. The Young-Girl, as model citizen of modern democracies, is childlike, sentimental, and eminently prepared to relinquish heretofore absolute values.

It’s often brought up in discussions of the real-life feasibility of giant people or animals. Basically just the fact that an increase in an object’s surface area is always outpaced by an increase in that object’s volume, as in, the surface area gets squared, but the volume is cubed. For example, doubling the surface area of a 2x2 cube to that of a 4x4 cube doesn’t double the volume of the cube, it’s volume (and thus weight) increases by much more than that, or a humanoid which is twice the height of a normal human also necessarily weighing much more than twice the weight of a normal human. This is advantageous when it comes to launch vehicles because more volume=more propellant-more delta/v.

> Why aren't planes bigger then?

I used to think it'd be the skycrane itself but that's 2/2 now. The early chute designs ripped but they wind tunnel tested the fuck out of the ones they use now and it seems to do the trick.

Ring parachutes are a known factor, the biggest potential fuckup is the crane and wires. Hovering with a fuckload of hypergolic rockets, lowering shit gently on wires then fucking off without damaging a payload is far more technically challenging than just slowing down shit for a bit.

“Just around the corner” has been a cause to delay manned missions to Mars since the 60’s. Even Apollo didn’t even think or Mars until they had NERVA. Robert Zubrin tried to eliminate this “just around the corner” mindset with Mars Direct but NASA didn’t care. Anyhow Nuclear Thermal is a meme I don’t care how much you dumbasses try to shill it. Starship can get to mars faster than a NTR orbit because Starship can aerocapture, while NTR has to burn to enter Mars orbit.

Gotta remember the skycrane has to go "later homos" after dropping it off, so that means cranking the thrusters to max at a lower altitude which means rocks get kicked up as well and instruments that are absolutely not protected against hydrazine plumes are going to get roasted in addition.

The real, non-joke answer:
• For reasons I won't get in to, the Space Shuttle program ended up costing a fuck ton - but more importantly - it ended up creating jobs in just about every state
• At the same time, understand that NASA must always appear before Congress and say "may we have money pls? This is what we want to do. This is how much money we would need this year to do it. Th- thank you". Now Congress is very stingy about giving NASA money. But when it comes to "bloated" shit like Shuttle, congress almost unanimously agrees to fund it because it creates more jobs in their states
• Fast forward to 2012-ish. Shuttle program comes to an end. NASA now wants to go to the Moon. They know they can build an upgraded Saturn V, but they know Congress won't give them shit for it. If they instead build a "shuttle-derived" rocket, they will keep all the same people employed, Congress will stay happy, and Congress will give them the money for the shitty rocket and gateway and landers all as one package.
• For some fucking stupid reason NASA decided to go with cost-plus contracting though, meaning that Boeing (who is building the SLS) is under no obligation to meet time tables, and is in fact given MORE money if they ask for it.

JPL is a completely different story. JPL is filled with based autists who love what they do, and could build a spacecraft for $2, $20, or $200 mil. They basically just get told what the mission needs to be and they make it happen with an allotted budget.

The pad they're building right now has been confirmed to have no diverter planned, they'll complete it sure but it will be useless for a 28 engine heavy. And in any case they are unlikely to have both the raptor production capacity and reliability to put that many engines on a vehicle this year, let alone multiple times since it's unlikely they will go straight to stacking and orbital testing.

Scientific cameras don't just take the total sum of light when they take an image. Instead they record each color separately so that materials in an image can be determined. This is done without any regard for how it looks so adjustment for human eyes is needed. Pic related, the scientific camera that took this image actually took three images. One in blue, red, and green each. However, the moon moved as those images were taken so there is a slight misalignment when all the data is used to make a human-friendly image

Different materials reflect and absorb light differently. Using this principle, the material of a given object can be guessed at from just a picture, which is much faster than a spectrometer. In addition to that, weather can be measured accurately from how the atmosphere absorbs light (more red being seen means more dust in the atmosphere, more blue means higher pressure etc).

You might think a standard camera should be OK anywhere but in fact all kinds of compromises have been made to generate a good result here on earth in a known set of situations. Even different manufacturers of earth cameras emphasise different aspects etc. So there's no such thing as a universal camera, and space is a very different environment. Then there's the need for scientific levels of accuracy and precision. For example, the radiometric correction of satellite imagery is based on calibration done by pointing the sensor at a particular part of the Antarctic that is the flattest and whitest area we have to image. And the same with the blackest part of the sky. Imaging is highly technical but all but the most expensive cameras for earth use hide this from us.
