Interesting. What's a "stem valve"?

[@42grath]

@@dsracoon a stem valve is a type of pressure valve. The most commonly known one you would probably know is the valve for filling car/bike tires, but can also be used for any type of pneumatic pressure regulation, especially to fill, and then stay close once disconnected.

[@beamed5382]

@@dsracoon i'm not sure if I heard anything about a "stem valve", the stem pressure that he was talking about however is a term describing pressure potential (P) as a function measuring tension between two or more systems (a term often used in water systems, such as a water tower). In this case, it was about pressure vessels for the spin-up of the turbopumps.

Impressive how much hardware we yeet up every month.

[@Liberty4Ever]

I'm a child of Gemini and Apollo. I grew up expecting to work in space, but the government monopoly on aerospace led to 50 years of bureaucratic stagnation. SpaceX is finally making it happen. Aerospace development has been so suppressed that other technologies far exceeded it and now aerospace is able to leapfrog ahead.

[@baxtermullins1842]

After 55 years in the business, I can’t remember all the times when things failed, being within a second or two of an about, etc. But, someway it worked and we had a bunch of data, 100 hour work weeks (no overtime), examining the new system in the hanger, to find what was really there and not on the drawings. Great work, but very scary at the time. Just read the NASA reports on each moon missions!1

The last time I remember an American astronaut crew landing in the hospital for observation was Apollo-Soyuz in 1975. Some nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer got sucked in through an open vent during entry. I have *absolutely no* indication that this happened here but it's worth considering.

[@jimmymcgoochie5363]

Looked like one of the parachutes didn’t open fully in the clip from this video, maybe that’s relevant?

[@jtjames79]

I thought that was standard operating procedure. Recovering from space sickness is part of the research of space sickness. That particular crew was up there longer than any other recent crew. It just doesn't get reported on. That's why I think the report is a hit piece.

[@trekkie1701e]

Its S.O.P. to get cleared at a hospital. I think i saw that the astronaut had an extended bout of vertigo after landing.

[@Idahoguy10157]

If Boeing needs to sell parts let them sell their executives, then their managers. The company will right itself when they’re gone. Fire everyone with an MBA who isn’t an engineer

[@MichaelDavis-zu2ko]

I figured the reason the ISS astronauts went to the hospital was because of the amount of time they spent in space. If you look at the video of them getting out of the capsule, it looks like they can barely move under normal gravity. That must suck, but still a pretty cool problem to have!

[@Flinno-k8w]

THought this as the reason too, but there where people that surpassed even 400 days in space. I wonder if it has something to do with the duration. According to wiki, the crew dragon has a desirn stay on ISS of 180 days with 210 days max endurance. I try to find anything about that, if a longer stay was certified, but nothing. they where uo there more then 235 days. Maybe Co2 scrubber filters where past due date or sommething.

Why was it falling apart?

[@clintmichigan9112]

Spinal stabiliser muscles atrophy in microgravity. Effects significant after 14-21 days. It's the reason why you'll never see a long haul astronaut get out and walk around. So mars still has a huge problem because there won't be a team a physios waiting for them on Mars to rehab the astronauts for 3 weeks to get them walking properly.

[@the_retag]

Mars has way lower gravity, so lots of training in transit should hopefully work enough

[@joansparky4439]

maybe a team of optimus physios can either go with them or await them?!

[@RiversJ]

There are ways to considerably reduce the harmful effects by design of the entire system around humans. The reason ISS has very little such consideration is cost, very few politicians (whether they work in NASA or politics) are willing to sign off on those kinds of expenses when existing programs are barely funded to technical requirements due to organizational inefficiencies and culture issues causing higher than required expenses across the organization. Spin gravity being the obvious one, but even if you can't, given sufficient launch mass with reduced costs, you can start including much better medical and physio equipment onboard to mitigate the same along with enough supplies to allow for a relatively lengthy acclimation period on arrival. These are problems to be sure, but definitely not show stoppers.

[@joansparky4439]

U are aware that free market capitalism REQUIRES copycats so that the supply of a commodity (here space capsules) is able to meet demand at the cost point - which a single supplier (like SX) will most likely not pursue, as controlling the supply and keeping it below the demand provides revenue exceeding cost, or in other words PROFITS?!?

[@joansparky4439]

@@GlutenEruption 'blueprint theft' sounds like it is not OK to copy products to increase the supply?!? I was just providing context why that view is anti-capitalist and incompatible with free markets as I think the OP and a lot of the audience having a 'western background' with a misconception about how our economies should be to function properly.

[@GlutenEruption]

@ well yeah, that's the entire point of the patent system, publicly release all the secrets to your product and how to make it and you are allowed a protected period to exclusively profit from it. Compared to monopolies and trade secrets, competition and open access to technology is much more beneficial to everyone (besides the monopolies), and SpaceX was a massive beneficiary of decades of open source public R&D, studies, experiments, etc. from NASA, but how does any of that change the fact that their copy of falcon and dragon was factually a result of corporate espionage and blueprint theft? The OP merely said now we know how long it takes between the plans being stolen and the clone being on the market. I don't see how that statement in any way condones, condemns, supports, etc, any of the actions.

[@joansparky4439]

@@GlutenEruption _"are allowed a protected period to exclusively profit"_ This sets in motion a train that is unstoppable and gives rise to companies that become too big to fall - as they will patent every little bit to hold up that protection from competition for as long as possible.. and then economists complain that the markets are being dominated by only a few big large companies that buy politics how they see fit. There is a prominent investor who only invests in companies that have such legal protections in place - that protect companies from competition at the cost of society with no upside for it. That is not free market capitalism, that is unfree market monopolism - and then we wonder why our societies fall apart and become extremist.. PS: patents got invented in 14th century Venice to keep non-domestic competition out. Copyrights got introduced in 17th century England to prevent competing publishers from reprinting books.

Seems like we really need a common communications protocol for LEO communication satellites and some kind of peering arrangement so all these starlink style systems can exchange traffic (with their lasers) like the networks here on earth. If this was just about economics it might not be that important. Fiber plus mobile still makes more sense in most populated locations but it's clear that the military implications are going to push all the alliances who can afford it to control their own LEO satellite networks and it would be nice if we could at least get them all exchanging traffic for us during peace time so all that money goes to some peaceful use.

They were 1s away .. yes but that margin is big considering that decisions are made in milliseconds. Context context context is so important when talking about this stuff and again - they had 1s to spare technically before they had to make a critical decisions and didn't actually reach that threshold. I don't see that as critical but a success. They already said before that all parameters have to line up to almost 100% and had to be made at a specific altitude. I don't know what the window was but it can't be more than 2-3s. So 1s remaining is darn good!
