[@richardmattocks]

@@mervstash3692 most (if not all) SpaceX rockets multi-stage and then both are separately controlled, with the first stage coming back under control while the main stage works its magic in orbit. Sure Starship hasn’t had all the bugs ironed out yet, that’s why they are test flights, but the cleverness of how SpaceX routinely stages and then controls what amounts to 2 rockets simultaneously is still a valid point IMHO but if you can’t see that for the technical marvel it is, then that’s ok.

[@mervstash3692]

@@richardmattocks dude STFU. They have a contract for the moon. They are years behind schedule. Don't try spin it with the "oh they are just testing" line. The goal submitted in the missing plan was to catch the booster & to soft splash the 2nd stage in the ocean. Didn't come close to achieving either of those. Stage 2 didn't make orbit velocity, Stage 2 failed the door test, it failed the fuel transfer. Everything was a fail. By all means geek out over the potential, but don't be a delusional sickafant.

This gives me chills down my spine. We’re so close to interplanetary travel. Commercial space flight.

[@archierush868]

I’m not sure Commercial Space Flight as in point-to-point flights with Starship will happen but I’m confident they will do some kind of tourism thing where you can spend a day in space on Starship. It’s big and can fit around 100 people comfortably and the pressurised cargo is bigger than a Boeing 747’s pressurised cargo so it can probably do more than 100.

[@YoWhoDat]

@@archierush868wow! The size alone is impressive! Have I heard correctly, it’s the largest and most powerful rocket mankind has made to date? Absolutely insane if so. As far as my comment on commercial space travel, what I meant was using the upper atmosphere for commercial flights to and from locations here on Earth. I guess “space flight” is the wrong term for this. Regardless I’m blown away by the advancements in my lifetime alone. From landlines and VHS to augmented reality and this! Im only 30 I can’t imagine what my son will see and experience as an adult.

[@archierush868]

@@YoWhoDatCorrect, it is the tallest, most powerful rocket ever made and launched into space in human history… and it’s designed to be fully reusable meaning the ship and booster can land itself back at the launch site by being caught on the giant black arms called chopsticks. Only one time in history i believe a rocket has ever been caught mid flight and that was recent in 2022 or 23 with RocketLabs Electron rocket which is tiny compared to this, was caught by a helicopter but was cut after the pilot said it was too hard to control so it was dropped. The booster is 70M or 210FT tall which is an extra 60FT taller than the Statue of Liberty from torch to toe. Include the ships extra hight of 50M or 150FT and it’s taller than the Statue of Liberty from torch to Ground with room for around 2 starships to be stacked onto of the statue sideways. It’s literally a flying Skyscraper which is insane! I’m young and have never seen any true rocket launch in person since I’m British and any possible rocket launch here would be scrubbed due to weather, but I dream of one day maybe there will be an offshore Starship launch pad close to the UK for space tourism.

“bUt It’s a FIsh eYE leNs!” Yeah, and it’s so they can see more of the ROCKET and not the earth. If they wanted to, and i think they have a few times, they can launch a rocket with a perfectly normal lens which doesn’t show any distortion and you’ll get basically the exact same footage. I remember a picture decades ago of the Concord at a high altitude being taken from another plane which showed the curvature of the earth. If it was a fisheye lens, the concord would look very distorted, but it doesn’t because we know how they look. The picture of the concord from a high altitude proves the earth is round because you can literally see its round there.

I think they simply optimized the flight plan in a way so that they enter slower. I think the falcon 9 actually has to endure a lot more during reentry.

I guess the air flow pressure just got into the fuel channels after ehm, large and fast hardening of a clapans material in the engine intake. It could've clogged with air chop, pressured more then a fuel left in tank. Make a mechanical combustion space which will be sealed and having a reserve fuel for an ignition from a reserve line from completely outsourced SECTORED INSIDE into each engine a sector reserve fuel tank. Why not one reserve tank for all reserve lines? For the same reason the main line goes off. So it turns main booster off, it closes 2 doors in fuel line, in space between the another fuel intake from a reserve line, starts landing and when time comes you pressurize camera with reserve fuel , igniting an opening doors. Make ignition a starter like, it wont have one or two takes, make it constant and put a 15-20 seconds time for it in advance to make full test igniting a round of synchronised blank blasts before opening main engine start at a designed alt. And, say, the inner pressure valve can be one locking reserve channel before main boost turns off and it clogs the main line, opening reserve one with one separate stormdoor lower
