Canada is the legal property of the United States, and the “Canadian” government has never declared independence. Canada is U.S. territory and is as an autonomous region. We are not impacting Canadian sovereignty by taking Canada back, because “Canada” doesn’t exist.

The Commercial Crew poster is out! With a history of the CCP spacecraft to date, I hope you all love it! Fox put his heart into this one.

get it here:

if you’re international and shipping sucks, get the digital:

update: ‘‘twas fooled, was engine 367 not 387. we wait yet another flight to see reuse

I get that, but they’ll have two years, easy. Mars is only 3-5 flights, and the HLS flights will take up most of the year. Given that Starship has proven out almost all of its core features; they can give proper time to the TPS. Much like the seals, I think it will get better fast.

from the leaked vids. Two raptor serial numbers match serial numbers match raptors from B12.

oh also raptor has reflown now apparently. Thats cool.

it probably will have a much more mature TPS overall. I expect it to be better and to keep improving.

I think that when we see 33’s TPS, it will be much more reliable owing to the fact that they will have both proper time with it and that it won’t be a mishmash of experiments flown like we’ve seen here. It won’t be missing the ablative underlayer, it won’t have tiles stripped off randomly, and

seal damage. There was TPS damage across that flap, though. That’s why only one specific area of the seal is hot, rather than it bleeding everywhere.

We’ve seen very marked improvements in TPS performance across each flight, even with each being very different from the last. A big example is the hot gas seals. On 29, they failed outright. On 30, their failure was much less pronounced- it still occurred, but less badly. On 31, there was no

flight 6 was a big success! shame the tower antennas sucked tho lmao they should have cables for direct communications between MCC and the tower tho

THE FLIGHT 6 POSTER IS HERE!
Stylized like a movie poster, this poster will always help you remember the excitement of today. From the fastest turnaround of Starship yet to the SECOND booster catch, what's not to love?

Due to the limitations of this platform as of posting I cannot embed the full video within this thread.

Because I’ve so far seen things that support both sides of the argument. I don’t know if space elevators are inherently possible, but I don’t know enough to entirely rule them out either. I’ll come back when I have a degree in structural engineering.

I don’t think the facts are inherently contradictory. But yes, we clearly have very different starting points here. Will think on this.

I mean the biological urge for reproduction, to be crude. We can mitigate that. But I think that’s also still largely cultural and societal.

I don’t think that’s exactly possible. Maybe it is. I don’t know enough to judge.

I would submit that it’s probably possible. I don’t know how, but given that we’ve solved a lot of things, we could probably solve something like this.

Not exactly. We’re still using more power. Just reducing the rate of depleting earth’s resources while doing it.
