Bhodi posted:the SSME refirb cost was essentially the same as building a new engine from scratch. It was the most finally tuned piece of equipment humanity has ever created and is likely the most efficient rocket motor that will ever exist, but reusable it was not towards the end of the program they were finally getting to the point where they could probably have started running the engines a few launches in a row before having to do a teardown and rebuild. that said even if they built a perfectly reusable SSME, the manpower costs of tile inspection and refurbing the hydrazine thrusters and rebuilding every other must-work component would still be eating them alive. the payroll alone for orbiter inspection and maintenance was over a billion dollars a year. although even then the unit cost* of a space shuttle mission wasn't really significantly bigger than Titan IV or Delta IV Heavy, and the payload capacity was roughly equivalent, except with Shuttle you also got a crew of astronauts and a canadarm up at the same time. *as compared to total program cost, which includes initial development, as well as the stand-down periods after Challenger and Columbia were lost Bhodi posted:ULA is turbo hosed and is the poster child for government contractor excess as well as a company dinosaur unable to change when the world shifts underneath them, all they can do is hold tighter to what they still have and try to sabotage what they don't because their executives have lived their entire lives in a no-bid bubble that started in the 60's, they literally do not know how to innovate or compete, they only started designing a reusable rocket in response to spacex and... let's just say it's not going well at least ULA has a great track record on successfully getting satellites into orbit. the russian program is a shambles; they loving nose-dived a Proton into the ground a few years ago (great way to blast a shitload of hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide all over the place!) and their upper stages keep loving up.

NASA is constrained by the fact that they have to do what Congress tells them to do, including kludging together a big rocket out of as many old Shuttle contractors as possible

iospace posted:Yup. Due to a multitude of factors, the whole "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" mindset is very strong in techlords. Mostly because a lot of the more recent billionaires happened to get to that point by tech, either via the dot-com boom or the computer boom. Now with the gig economy/big data boom, they're all looking to be the next Uber and will gladly hitch their wagon to whatever startup promises to "disrupt everything" and make it big. this is from pages back but what's extra funny is that a lot of the guys that won big weren't the super-rockstar programmers or engineers, they were the biz guys. bill gates got way more mileage out of being a cutthroat than his ability to write or read code. infernal machines posted:buddy got rooked by like the oldest grift on earth. also he knew it happened to other people and just thought that this time it wasn't a scam lmao we've reached the craigslist "wire me money and i'll ship you the car" scam level already?!

Sagebrush posted:I was thinking the same thing if you're going fast enough then even martian atmosphere exerts some force. i think the fins are mostly just to help keep it stable, not to provide any significant lift. that said, like all spacex propaganda, i'll believe it when i see it. i'm mildly surprised we even saw falcon heavy. i'm kinda curious if BFR ever takes off but i'm not assuming it's going to happen like so many spacex fans do.
