musk can't even reliably land the unmanned rockets on his barge so I don't think the manned version is ever happening

Lol they been landing consitently for the last bunch of lauches. What are you talking about?

The problem with all those other rockets was that the Gs weren't in a comfortable direction. If you strap people in face-down, it's like a spring breeze.

Mass. And distance from the engines. If rocket engines don't burn smoothly, ~verybadthings~ happen. The whole "engine rich combustion" thing.

https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/7829/launch-accelerations-values-history

The graph there, shows the acceleration curve of the Saturn V. It's curve seems to show that the engines were not throttled back to any significant factor. (not that the F1's were friendly to throttling..)

All of the sources I found say the shuttle never topped 3g on launch, or landing. At least, sustained loads. The SRBs were not the smooth(ish) burn you get from the SSMEs.

If Elon wants less than a 3g peak, he can do that. SpaceX's technology does seem like it would give that option. And they can afford the gravity losses.

*hands you a doll* Here, take your straw man.

As I understand it, most astronaut training is not "about the flight" but about their jobs on the flight, and survival training. And for a ride on the shuttle?

But really? That's where you wanna go? Bigger makes smaller changes in thrust (that violence you speak of) seem smaller. Being taller, puts you further away from the noise makers. Again, taking away part of that violence.

A couple G is not a place to be enjoying drinks. But it's also not even bothersome. (to me.. at least... 1.4 is a giggle, 2 is fun.) But I woudl't put my mom though it.

G's are most survivable on your back. Laying down. Facing away from the G's is the least survivable direction. Crushing your stomach, chest, and face aren't conducive to survival.

Course, I could have just missed a joke. Heh.

ROFL. (Rocket O-Ring Failure Laugh)

Lol if you think rich people will be flying on the rockets Musk proposed. It will be too unpleasant, instead it'll be used to ship computer and other STEM janitors around with the occasional MBA who completely hosed up thrown as an example.

Look the best way to do it is simply use a normal ultra high altitude aeroplane boosted by a liquid fuelled rocket. (with some RCA's)

No one said riding a rocket to work is sane.

Elon thinks he has a solution to a problem that people didn't know they had like the iPhone. He has rockets, lets make them do eveything. If he thought putting rockets in cars would "solve" a problem he would.

Suborbital just means you don't have the balls to challenge the Voyager 2 probe in a race to crash into god's face.

I remember the block of wood hits the man in the back of his head, because the regular forklift chucked a woodblock into his brain... that man is different now... if he is even alive... his family/....

then when the gas exploded into the faces of the two guys. They died because of the mistake one of them made.... there was two of them.... only one of them made the mistake... the other guy died because his friend........

I get to remember, I get to SEE in my mind, when that guy fumbled the hose into the truck and he killed himself and his supervisor

I remember these images forever.

Because I watched this piece of poo poo thread created by PIECES OF poo poo, gently caress YOU. gently caress YOU

Heinlein liked to throw ballistic travel into his sci-fi, and he predicted the cold war/the internet/highway strip malls/a bunch of poo poo, so I don't think it's unreasonable. Fuckin' 30 minute rollercoaster ride anywhere in the planet, why not? Oh wait, Heinlein also predicted a future full of normalized polyamory and widespread space mormonism, so I'm mixed.

I was a full time mechanic and do a lot of building, home improvement, physical labor type stuff and i pretty much always wear gloves. I started doing that after a friend told me "no girl is going to let them touch you with those gross, dirty hands."
