Malcolm XML posted:self driving car tech is trivial in 99% of cases, so trivial that iphone hacker dude could do it with cots parts nah. highway driving or stop and go traffic is easy to automate. when the car hits something it can't do it will hand off to a remote driver in a tesla driving center who will guide it through the challenging part and in the process plot a course for future self-driving cars. the people in the car won't even know it happened

would predator drones be less morally wrong if instead of dropping bombs they just gave explosive diarrhea to whomever was targeted

there's a continuum when it comes to satellites [easy to access, expensive satellite -----------------------------------------------hard to access, cheap satellite] the reason that you can pick up GPS with a patch antenna in your phone is because the government (healthily) funded it and there's a satellite the size of a VW with solar panels the size of a school bus sending you the signal. meanwhile for the average $100k ham satellite I need directional antennas 30 feet in the air and two runs of feedline that cost a dollar a foot and a $500 radio guess which end of the continuum some ~disruptive startup is gonna land on

SpaceAceJase posted:If you look closely at the vid from US Launch Report you see the ignition source near the propellant loading umbilical. Now that is not to say that was the exact cause. But there is overwelming consensus from SpaceX that it was not the fault of the rocket. And this is only speculation, but my opinion is based off deductive reasoning based on the fireball created... From the video you can see the the 2nd stage ignite and in turn rupturing the first sdage and as you seenthere was a cascade of fuel much like a Guinness cascade coming down.

yeah everybody screams "throw a billion LEO satellites at it i want my own constellation" but satellite tech doesnt scale linearly up and down with size. cubesats are dumb af. cool toys horrid for business

i think its amazing that we have like, over a thousand geosynchronous satellites in orbit and have our poo poo together well enough that they have gas thrusters that we control to maintain their orbit properly, and when we run low on a particular bird's hydrazine or whatever, we use the last bit to launch it to a parking orbit higher up so it never crashes into us and has a >1day period

AO-7 is one of my favorites.quote:AO-7 (aka AMSAT-OSCAR 7) is the second Phase 2 amateur radio satellite constructed by AMSAT-NA, and it was launched into Low Earth Orbit on November 15, 1974. It remained operational until a battery failure in 1981. Then after 21 years of silence, the satellite was heard again on June 21, 2002 — 27 years after launch. they were smart enough to hard wire the batteries to the solar panels, and the batteries grew whiskers and failed short, but over 21 years the solar panel slowly ate away through those whiskers with the equivalent of a mouse fart's worth of electricity for a few hours a day. and all that time the boards survived enough bombardment from whatever gamma rays and neutron garbage that the motherfucker fired back up again as soon as the power rails saw +v. imagine building anything that tough

Suspicious posted:yo, satellite nerds, is there any plan in the works to get rid of all the junk in orbit? before it becomes too hazardous for shuttles and other satellites I'm not really a satellite nerd, but I've heard that the plan is to just find ways to track the space junk and just route things around it. It makes me lol when internet nerds talk about space travel and the "space economy" being around the corner when stuff as simple as picking up trash in outer space is un-economical and how to do it is a major technical problem. silence_kit fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Sep 4, 2016 |

Suspicious posted:yo, satellite nerds, is there any plan in the works to get rid of all the junk in orbit? before it becomes too hazardous for shuttles and other satellites not really. but it's also nowhere near as big of a deal as some people make out. simulations say (section 3) that the number of debris increases p much linearly w the number of launches. it'll gradually become more and more of an issue, but there's no gravity-esque cascade aka kessler syndrome coffeetable fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Sep 4, 2016 |
