SpaceX Major Change With Raptor Reusability Shock Blue Origin, Even NASA!

[@johnrday2023]

Spacex shud be congratulated for developing their Raptor engine design that has proven reliable and reuseable, that they are continually upgrading and improving !

[@NormReitzel]

I can't help notice that your "mrthane liquid" is (dyed) red. Does that make it untaxed "agricultural" methane? Also, a nit: The fuel and oxidizer do noit enter the combustion chamber as "gasses" - they are in fact "supercritical fluids."

[@alphatech4966]

thank for reminder! i will note this

[@vyacheslavromantovsky1238]

Where have you noticed "red liquid methane" in this video? Orange flame is a natural colour of the fuel enriched mixture burning.

[@emmawilliams8209]

I'm just happy to be notified ❤

[@clavo3352]

Nice video. Would have preferred that you stuck with the engine schematic and used moveable pointing arrows to parallel with the discussion. The showing of a rocket engine exterior while talking about its interior was counter productive. Also; you didn't disclose enough about de-coking for refurbishment, for that statement about how difficult it is to do, to be credible. How is de-coking currently accomplished? Can that be improved upon? --- ---A Rocket Engine is basically the fuel pumps and the combustion chamber. What alternative fuel pumps exist. Would a hydraulic syringe work as a pump for several cmbustion chambers saving weight and complexity?

Have that being said, I think Spacex will reach 1000 raptor reuse.

[@PanioloBee]

No profit in reusable rockets if you’re under an open government contract. Otherwise, it would have been done decades ago.

[@pechocucuy4424]

Cost+ contracts will dissapear, those are among the biggest scams humanity has ever seen. SpaceX exposed all those aerospace money-sucking companies

Methane is being used because it can be made on mars or else where.

I think the 1000 re-use engine is do able, might take awhile to get there, and maybe another design shift to use ceramic liners in combustion chambers, Basically like "Sleeved" automotive engines. I dont think advancements will stop any time soon. I do suspect that cryro fuel engines will be limited to gravity well situations that have adequate infrastructure. And that going outward in the Solar system will morph into other drive systems. Probably most ubiquitous will be based on water from ice, because its available. I think for in system use things will get simpler farther out and away from tech centers, and that interstellar will be the realm of exotics. For now theres a problem with numbers of ships and launches, to make even a Lunar Colony feasible, Need to get to dozens of launches per day even for a minimalistic colony the size of a US Military Base. Translation: if you dont want The Chinese to own the Moon, its gonna take a very serious effort. And the application of other technologies like Super guns, and Space Elevators. Basically over the next few years, humans get to decide if we let Idiots continue to run things and we nuke each other? Or if we break the Paradigm by using military budgets for predominately Space expansion. It is the ultimate high ground. And any leadership that nay says getting to it, needs a lateral promotion to a broom closet in the basement of the Pentagon, and then retired at first opportunity. Methinks the current situation could lead to a renaissance in actual leadership, and the elimination of most bureaucracy and other unnecessary government... Government needs parts count logic applied. I suspect we will soon desire to replace Ahole Judges and Boring Bureaucrats with AI automation. And the Political Buffoons with direct democracies, with a rural versus urban limited government replublic. Cities need to be limited, have heard rumor even Jefferson thought that. and we need to open up the million square miles of Federal lands in the US to settlement, using Condenser tech now available. So we can start a ramp up of human population for expansion into space. Get the government out of bedrooms, quit trashing Dads. Make having kids supported by society, instead of supporting parasites. Make sure there are Dads in homes or else. Also develope weather control from space, so we can green up deserts, and warm up cold places. Which would allow way more people to live decent lives, and get people out of cities of stacked Rat boxes. I remember an example given in the 70's, that you could fit the entire population of the planet standing in Harney County Oregon, and have room to park a car beside every one of them.... Basically we dont have a population problem, we have a management problem.

Watch how your voice drops to an un-hearable level when you read very long sentences. At times that last word or two is uniintelligible :-)

[@gottfriedheumesser1994]

Why NASA did not develop reusable rockets? They did it with the Spaceshuttle and burned their own fingers commercially.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

IIRC they did not - Space Shuttle required a rebuild after every landing.

[@gottfriedheumesser1994]

@@ThomasTomiczek They underestimated this 'rebuild'. But even SpaceX needs at least a month to launch a Falcon 9 booster again, although this has no heat shield.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

@@gottfriedheumesser1994 Yes, bu that is not the goal for the Spaceship - the Spaceship is supposed to need NO rebuild once it is production. IIRC the ultimat goal is like a maintenance every 100 launches - similar to commercial planes, Musk says.

[@professorg8383]

@@ThomasTomiczek Who say "reusable" means no rebuild or refurbishment???
