First crew launch, now Starlink
11:30
<
Mat2ch >
SpaceX is busy
11:30
<
Althego >
i dint know why starlink was delayed this much
11:30
<
Althego >
it was in the launch chedule months ago
11:31
<
Mat2ch >
maybe new sat design?
11:31
<
Mat2ch >
orrrrrr chip shortage :D
11:36
<
Althego >
it will overlap with irys
12:10
<
Althego >
starlink tomorrow
12:12
<
Althego >
maybe a starship static fire
12:12
<

but too many livestreams

holodeath is overlapping with irys. but at least the launch isnt
13:08
<
Althego >
something is happening in boca chica
13:08
<
Althego >
maybe really a static fire
13:14
<
XXCoder >
pretty cool
13:14
<
Althego >
but it didnt go to space
13:14
<
XXCoder >
;mission add You use giant centrifuge to launch your rocket.

XXCoder: Added mission: You use giant centrifuge to launch your rocket.
13:15
<
XXCoder >
yeah its just tests. 400 lb to near space. ultimate goal is 1 ton to space
13:15
<
Althego >
which would be really nice
13:15
<
Althego >
since they only need the "second stage"
13:16
<
Althego >
to say the engineering problems are significant, is an understatement
13:17
<
Althego >
but if it works out, another way to access to space
13:18
<
XXCoder >
its nicely lowered pollution too
13:19
<
Althego >
i am not sure about that. why?
13:19
<
Althego >
you still need the same energy to get into orbit
13:19
<
XXCoder >
first stage is no more
13:19
<
XXCoder >
or rather, its converted to electric
13:19
<
Althego >
instead you have to spin a large something
13:19
<
Althego >
and the power comes from some powerplant
13:20
<
XXCoder >
so its solar energy is possible or geo or whatever way less pollution than rocket fuel
13:20
<
Althego >
but you dont have to build the rocket first stage. that energy is saved
13:20
<
XXCoder >
i can picture launch base covered with solar panels
13:20
<
XXCoder >
feed to battery to be ready for launch
13:21
<
Althego >
actually it doesnt need to be big. it has say a month to collect the energy between launches
13:21
<
XXCoder >
yeah. much depends on usercase and demend
13:36
<
Mat2ch >
Scott Manley made a video about spinlaunch
13:36
<
Mat2ch >
and if you ask me, they should build it on the side of a mountain at the top
13:38
<
Althego >
then why not put it on a linear accelerator instead
13:39
<
Althego >
mountain is definitely better, less drag and heating
13:40
<
Mat2ch >
because you need much more stuff to do that
13:40
<
Mat2ch >
and a good slope in the right direction, etc.
13:40
<
Mat2ch >
With spinlaunch you can have an plateau right underneath it.

spinlaunch seems very Danny2462 to me
13:53

Slightly less breaking the universe, though.
13:53

not danny enough until something explodes and the planet is destroyed

well, you can use it to launch stuff without a heat trail...

now we wait for a static fire of B4 probably

I wonder if a static fire of a booster will be opposite engines fireing in a clock-wise rotation

(or counter clock wise)
