Yeah, NASA knows how and does rockets on the reg. But what if I made money doing it? And if the government paid me to rediscover the technology like I'm a technomancer searching for the losTech from the dark age of mankind

quote:I tested this to make certain in heavy rain yesterday during an hour long trip. I left the wipers completely off and the headlights in manual mode, there was little to no visibility out of the windshield for my own eyes, and the car continued full autopilot functions at 75mph with no change in performance, and no messages to turn on wipers/limit speed due to visibility/ etc wish i didn't have to share the road with beta testing sickos, especially with my kids in the back seat

Computers were only one part of the whole thing. You also need exceeding smart, fit, and well-trained crew (astronauts and other crew), and some insanely high-level manufacturing and engineering at all levels. And everything has to be checked and re-checked rigorously to ensure there are no fuckups, including having all of your staff not doing insane hours (so longer timelines all around). Your super-powerful computer doesn't do poo poo when the guy doing a 30-hour shift at SpaceX doesn't put the panel on flush, which it needs to be so it stays together when it's shooting out into space. Or when the whole project is being headed by an insane egomaniac who can't be overridden and demands marketability above all else. NASA leveraged their computers very well (because calculations have to be very accurately timed when you're traveling at literal miles per second) but a lot of that was because their programs weren't doing anything that demanding in modern terms, and a lot of NASA's programming was very bureaucratic and meeting-oriented (the programmers would hash out precisely what needed to happen and how in multiple meetings before actually writing any code), specifically because it needed to not only run correctly but run the same way every time (exact same delays in code execution etc.). It's also a bit weird for them because modern processors, due to having a lot more transistors jammed into the CPU die, make them potentially too sensitive/unpredictable for operating in space/exposed to things like solar radiation.

Stereotype posted:some solid evidence that we are doomed as a species is that when told about the huge number of problems directly caused by cars the only solutions anyone seems to be able to imagine are "electric cars" or "cars that can drive themselves poorly" This is off topic doomerism. This thread is about Elon Musk, who is ftw.

I thought it was because you basically can't cool anything in space, so anything that's powerful will simply overheat when operating in a vacuum

gently caress You And Diebold posted:Elon is gonna blow up a city at this rate So now this raises a question: did the self-destruct actually work to begin with or is it just one of the damaged engines finally caught the fuel storage on fire and blew up the rocket and SpaceX is going “It just took 40 seconds longer, that’s all!”

given past iterations of this stupid water tower, it's safe to assume that nothing works and it was destined to explode so the autodestruct didn't work and it probably exploded at the time it was going to explode anyway

And of course you need to buy stock now I don't know which is funnier, the automation shills who have been consistently saying 'It's 5-10 years away!" for the past 10 years, or the ones who have kept to that time table and now say it's coming this year or has been around for years, but regulations are stifling it. coconono posted:the only thing SpaceX has gotten right is the Starlink ISP service and that stuff is halfassed at best.

Wait, if I understand correctly (at the 9 minute mark) , the plan to separate Starship from the booster was basically doing a loop-de-loop at mach+ speed and have the stress from the maneuver break the two apart? I'm not a rocket scientist, but intuitively I would assume that's not particularly controlled and uh, the g-forces would probably kill any potential crew.

Their honest to god plan is just “make it do some flips and poo poo so the force makes the rocket separate” as if normal launches aren’t brutal on a human body already. Love to scramble the brains of astronauts in my lovely rocket, pure market disruption!

No, the plan is doing a loop-de-loop at mach+ speed and have the stress from the maneuver plus the second stage rocket boosters break the two apart.
