The original batch order of RD-180s back in the 90s was for 101 engines at $9.9M apiece. Later orders got a lot more expense after Russia realized they had a captive market that they could milk a lot more heavily than there were. I don't know if the last ones ended up going for more than $20M per engine, but it doesn't sound improbable to me.

That still seems too low. There's still two stages, two engines, and a fancy fairing. They're just a bit smaller. The sources I can find on that price are from 2018, and sounds like Astra's old promises to make their rockets iteratively cheaper (ie. bullshit).

>Then eventually Neutron will come along and eat constellation deployment forever
Neutron is gonna get some business because of the rocket bottleneck, but I'm worried it won't be truly competitive. Between the shift on barge landings and Amazon saying it only wants big rockets, Neutron just feels too small. Also, RL hasn't announced any orders yet, and they'd wanna boast that if they had any.

>too late to be able to catch with SpaceX
Short of utter failure of Starship, there was never a realistic path for RL to catch up with SpaceX's rockets for the foreseeable future. The questions are whether Neutron can hold its own against other 2020s rockets, and how much scraps SpaceX will leave behind by the time they come online.

>"conspiracy" that Neutron is actually going to be the tip of a bigger rocket
I can't see it. Maybe it could be reused with a big heat shield at the base with an aerospike or ring of engines. I'm not sure. The thing is though that the fairing would then be really narrow for a rocket of that size. Plus, can they even get away with that kind of misdirection as a public company?

Calling it socialist is a bit of a misnomer since economics only works at a certain scale. At least until it grows to the size of a large town (i.e. 100k people), there's no reason to impose any sort of formal economic system. Things would simply be rationed as needed and people would perform their tasks or be politely told to fuck off back to Earth.

Once large enough, vital resources (food, water, oxygen) would need to be centrally regulated, however secondary industries (stuff like restaurants or consumer manufacturing) would be just fine under a free market (insofar as any Martian colony could be economically viable without massive gibs from Earth)

I quantified that by saying it would need to be the size of a large town already. If you don't think that will happen within this millennium then sure. If such a colony is, at that size, so scarce on resources as to make it impossible for even 1% of their working hours to be dedicated to something that isn't a need per se, then it's doomed to fail anyway.

Also I'm not saying that there will ever be that many people on Mars or that it will happen quickly. Only that once it reaches that size there will be some tangible benefit to free market economics.

I know I’m going down a rabbit hole right now. Mariner 4 successfully made it to Mars and met its primary objectives, and then the cosmic dust detector registered 17 hits in fifteen minutes. They quickly started noticing more and more hits and realized they were flying through the debris of comet D/Swift. It ended up passing through the shattered nucleus where it was bombarded 83 times. Unintentional comet flyby lmao

Ah man, I wish I could imagine such a scenario actually playing out instead of most probably actual reality of Mars colonization which would be Earth going "cool beans bro. I am rooting for you" before continuing counting its tax money.
I mean, Earth could have a problem with Mars secession in 500 years (rather than like 100-200 after landfall, as is usually the case in these scenarios) or so once Mars seceding could actually be strategically significant (500 years is enough time for Mars to have become the center of Solar of steel production.

Yeah I agree with this completely. Public opinion has a direct correlation by virtue of politicians wanting to be populist (on both sides of the aisle mind you), so if it becomes “cool” to complain about Elon/SeX having too much NASA priority then there will be a movement to cuck him. And unfortunately other companies like boeing, lockmart, NG, etc. are free from this because they are MIC and spread work across multiple districts so the politicians are doing back door dealings with them regardless of public opinion. That wouldn’t be so with spacex

There's a meaningful difference between a Mars colony being independent of Earth and a Mars colony being independent of any single organization on Earth. As long as the two largest superpowers meaningfully compete with each other, a Mars colony can choose between the two and play them off each other.

Similarly, a colonist on Mars can achieve a degree of independence as long as there is a choice of larger colonies with which to associate.

I don't see an Earth Mars war in the future unless Earth develops a world government. Earth hasn't even declared war on North Korea.

One of the effects of connecting the world through the internet and social media was amplifying some otherwise small groups, making them vocal minorities. In this case, the whole Trump presidency, and the election in 2020 were so retardedly polarized by the media, that a lot of schizos got emotionally invested in the story. Add to that the derangement and psychosis from covid, plus boomers with internet access, and you have a perfect schizo storm.

They can't guarantee that recovery crews will always be immediately on site and they wanted to make sure that the capsule didn't take on water if they left it floating for a while. It's actually a reasonable thing to test.

They're only referring to the energy produced near the pellet. Extrapolated scientific breakeven was already achieved in 1998 by JT-60. Q = 1 is meaningless achievement, it's not close to the Q value needed to actually produce net power, which is in turn a giant increase away from the amount needed to commercialize fusion.

Moon will be water ice, iron, lithium, nickel, helium-3, and rare earth metals. Being that the Moon is made from a core of the Earth, materials that are common here will be common there. In addition to that, a matter of general exploration to find a very large scale lava tube that can be sealed off from the vacuum and then turned into a ship dock for fleets of Starships and other vessels; and the rest of the spatial volume is pressured to 1ATM at 16.6% Earth gravity. The really low gravity probably, coupled with the ample water ice available, and support of Nitrogen gasses from Earth, lead to turning the Moon into an ultra massive hydroponics facility to decouple food crop growth from the Earth. This way, perishable dependencies for Moon and Mars can be become cross-linked.

As for Mars, see pic related.
