Weirdly, Star Wars actually has some of the most grounded corporate stuff attached to it, with a lot of material in sourcebooks diving into stories about manufacturers and one product being a success, another a rushed failure, another being very good but not widely adopted because it was too expensive, making knockoff products while competing, that kind of stuff. Not a lot of the actual proper stories focus on the corporate or logistical side of things, but if any writer wanted to try, the framework is all there.

[@a.morphous66]

One really neat, extremely tiny detail that I love is part of the Quasar Fire class light carrier. Its superstructure is stated to be unusually susceptible to microfractures from the stresses of hyperspace jumps. Just a teeny little realistic production flaw that makes the world seem more real without ever having to factor into the story. Star Wars does a fair bit of that.

[@skykeeper2216]

Assuming a mix of understood and unknown sci-fi technology: A large “rated” ship would probably be laid out like a tower, with decks placed perpendicular to the direction of thrust. This allows continuous acceleration to serve as artificial gravity, and reduces structural strain and flying object hazards during emergency acceleration. If non-kinematic artificial gravity is a relatively new technology, it would likely work in tandem with this system, allowing the crews of smaller craft to survive higher accelerations by pulling against the direction of thrust or providing constant gravity to key locations (medbays, sleeping quarters, etc.). The aftmost section of the ship would be devoted to propulsion and power generation. Both generate significant amounts of heat and radiation, which makes insulating them from other systems a priority. Tanks of propellant and reactor fuel are placed just forwards of these, occupying about half of the ship’s total volume. Propellant would likely be an inert liquid like water, allowing it to serve as a radiation shield and working fluid for the radiators also mounted along the tank section. The section furthest forwards would consist of crew and habitation compartments, the only pressurized areas in the ship. Depending on the ship’s role, any weapon systems, cargo facilities, and sensor packages would also be placed here.

@@subraxas Isaac Arthur is a good watch as well. He probably already has a video on it.

[@enz025]

As someone who used to be a production operative for an aerospace firm in the UK, this was my life for a good few years. I worked in the stores, and as they had military contracts a lot of their components had to be stored for potential requirements. Digging through boxes and store locations could have you find components that weren't touched for 10 years, it was fascinating.

[@TheZetaKai]

It's funny to think about the Saturn V rocket being a lost technology, but it's kinda true. Even if you knew what you needed and how to put it all together to construct one, you couldn't do it, because the components just don't exist anymore. You'd basically have to start from scratch, with a lot of up-front costs, and there just isn't a market for such a thing anymore.

[@KuK137]

Not really. A design team decided to take quick crack at modernizing S5 with new parts, not even redesign, they managed to reduce engine parts count from something silly like 50000 to 500, made it 30% lighter, and gave it 50% more thrust. And that was just quick and dirty update made during breaks, old tech becomes lost tech because it's complete crap compared to new one...

[@captainsinclair7954]

Exactly. This was actually brought up in For All Mankind when President Reagan greenlit the Apollo-Soyuz mission. NASA had an Apollo CSM and return unit in storage destined for the Smithsonian. That was the easy part, but the hard part was finding an adequate rocket. They weren't going to use a shuttle for it, as A the Soviets wanted to do the mission with a NASA shuttle initially before the Apollo compromise was reached, and B all the Gen1 shuttles were in refurbishment/refit at the time. They ultimately determined that they wouldn't need a whole Saturn V as they wouldn't need to go to the moon, just get to LEO. They then used an Atlas V/Saturn 1 rocket instead for the mission.

[@princecharon]

@@KuK137 Cool. Given enough time and money, a more formal upgrade could probably be built, though I doubt it would look the same. Would be very interesting to see, though of course the big question would still be 'will the people who have the money believe that it would be worth it to do it this way?' Maybe it could be done as a kickstarter, but even with a presumably much cheaper redesign, we're still talking huge amounts of cash.

[@trickedraptor]

It isn't so much the components as the people who made them. These engineers had developed skills and techniques for contruction that can only be learned by passing it on to the next generation of engineers working on large rockets, except that never happened because NASA stopped building such large rockets. A good example of this is about a decade ago, NASA actually took apart part of a Saturn V to learn more about it. In the process, they found dozens of parts that don't show up in the designs, have no clear purpose, and yet the engineers at the time clearly believed were instrumental to the rocket. This is, in part, why the US military is constantly building new hardware like tanks and aircraft carriers, even when they don't seem necessary: so there is constantly a transfer of information between the older generation of engineers and the newer one. If they stopped for too long, they might lose the skills necessary to build this essential equipment when its needed again.

[@station240]

It's not just components from the Apollo Era that are lost, it's also entire manufacturing processes that are gone. The metalworking for instance, there are modern processes that replace obsolete methods, which in turn replace older even more obsolete methods that barely still existed back when these rockets were made. So even with the hand written notes (and lost knowledge that was never written down), we'd still lack the skills used to do this work. Saturn V was designed to go to the moon, and do so within the time frame set by the president. The long term plan was to redesign, make a new rocket that was cheaper to build/operate. But instead they went with the space shuttle and it's SRBs, so the rocket design skills were mostly lost.

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

I’d love to see Spacedock expand off this video to talk in broad strokes about the common components of a spacecraft - e.g., life support (temperature control, CO2 scrubbing, potable water, waste elimination/recycling, etc.), radiation shielding, propulsion, and so on. Pretty much all of those are present on a typical sci-if spacecraft (except waste elimination *cough*No toilets on the Millennium Falcon*cough*).

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

This just goes to show how patched together an old starship like the Falcon would be under the hood. Replacing parts with new parts that didn't exist when the ship was built that has to be integrated with technology that doesn't exist anymore.

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

When it comes to Saturn V being "lost" The main reason the components (like the F-1 engine) are no longer available is that they were handmade, and the majority of the people who had the knowledge of the quirks of manufacturing these parts, in the way it was done during Apollo, have passed away and the rest has retired. Also, if we were to make the modern equivalents to original Saturn V components, we could make a much better rocket, and, likely, cheaper. (After adjusting for inflation.) Let's take your example of the computers on a Saturn V, well, if you google how much processing power it took to launch Apollo 11... ... you'll have used more of it, just to do that.

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

That bit about being unable to build another Saturn V, not due to an understanding how it works but just because of how systems of logistics and technology have changed over the years, seriously made me think about how insane it must’ve been for the 12 colonies to intentionally regress during the Cylon war. It’s always stated as almost a throwaway line, but I never really considered just how much industrial effort and research it would’ve taken to deliberately switch to older systems of supplying parts, building ships, and providing technology decades out of date. They would’ve had to research to go in ...reverse, which is a really weird concept when we think of how we consider research as synonymous with progress and newness.

[@iiEXCALIBUR]

This was more ad than actual video

[@364dragonrider]

I still maintain that a “How it’s made” style show about the in-universe building of various different sci fi tech would kick ass. This episode is about how a warp core is made, this episode is about how a zaku II is made, this episode is about how a lightsaber is made and it’s more a documentary sort of show following a character with a narrative, etc.

I’m a tour guide on board USS Wisconsin (BB-64), a WW II battleship turned museum. One of the most popular questions we get asked is can the ship be brought back into active duty service.

[@Chaosmage42]

it actually reminds me of a bit of star wars legends the cloakshape fighter. the thing about it was one of those ships that isn't made anymore but was still used and there was no such thing as an original anymore because they were so customizable that no one didn't mod them. the biggest example is that the stock model didn't come with the spoiler on the back of it its an add on but everyone assumes its part of the original in story at least. i find it interesting that in science fiction that some ships would still be running after over a century as i doubt the same hard ware used in modern systems are compatible, then again in things like star trek the engineers are famed for just that so it might be more a question of how adaptable the current tech is

[@Nitram4392]

There's a similar thing with the Catapult Mech in the Battletech universe: It's so easy to modify (you can basically stick anything in the two giant pods)and repair, especialy the reactor, that many of them survived through the technological Dark Age that followed the collapse of the "Star union" (I'm not sure about the name). Some Catapults are centuries old by this point.

[@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870]

A lot of Sci-Fi, Star Trek most of all, is inspired by the Age of Sail. Long voyages, meeting new different cultures, being all alone during great disasters. In the context of ships, the same vessels lasting for decades or centuries in service, planks being replaced one by one until nothing original remains, yet the name and legacy do. The technology changes yes, but ships remain the same conceptually. Driven by sails, made out of wood, equipped with many broadside cannons. And it was even worse before the Age of Sail, or more correctly Gunpowder, with galleys having remained mostly unchanged for millennia. Today, technology changes fast, industrial production plentiful, and needs flexible. There is no Roman Empire with a Mare Nostrum, no colonies to reach. Only a well known but very varied world, with hundreds of nations and other entites whose power fluctuates.

[@CRXnick]

Ah yes, now my people of Mars can see me again

[@ewan.cartwright]

It’s not as simple as having the blueprints for the Saturn V though, many of its parts were handcrafted, with idiosyncrasies known only to one or a few technicians. We know a great deal about how it was built, but with millions of parts, we don’t know *exactly* how every single part was manufactured. On the other hand, since the rocket technology hasn’t fundamentally changed, we could totally build a newer version of the Saturn V. Indeed this was seriously considered about 10 years ago, but it was more politically convenient to build a big rocket from space shuttle parts instead.

Do you think massive passenger starliners, analogous to the ocean liners on Earth, will/should make more appearances in sci-fi? Ocean liners were phased out because planes could transport people faster and more cheaply than ocean liners, with a rapid decline in ocean liners starting following 1957. But, seeing as space has only one medium to travel through as opposed to land VS sea VS air on a planet, it may make more sense to once again provide massive vessel capable of carrying many people. Of course, this would only be viable in a high density population setting, not frontier settings like recent sci-fi where small personal starships are more the norm, but it could bring back certain tropes and genres into science fiction. One example I can think of was the murder mystery onboard the Coronet in The Clone Wars. That was of course another personal starship, but the idea stands.
