Why Starship Could Transform Astronomy

Рет қаралды 770,166

Күн бұрын

SpaceX's Starship rocket is nearing first orbital tests. This Super Heavy launch vehicle promises to lift enormous masses into space, and do so at far cheaper costs than the competitors. What could these capabilities do for astronomy though? Join us today as we explore the potential transformative power of Starship for astronomy.

Regarding aluminium as an alternative to steel, without going into the heat resistance advantages of steel, it should be pointed out that aluminium generally has a similar strength/weight ratio as steel. To resist a given force, you need a smaller steel cross-section than you do aluminium, but both will weigh about the same. So weight is rarely a sufficient reason to choose aluminium over steel.

@CoolWorldsLab Жыл бұрын

That's a good point

Is it because aluminium is cheaper? I guess that would have been a better choice when rockets were disposable.

I do admire the philosophy of learning through mistakes and trial by error. I remember so many people sneering and laughing whenever one of the SpaceX vehicles blew up. I think it says a lot about them and their mindset that they view failure as something to be ridiculed, and not something to be learned from.

@Mkenran 3 ай бұрын

While I agree that there is nothing wrong with learning through failure, this doesn't mean thar elon has a better philosophy. The difference is that his inherited wealth makes it so that he can afford mistakes and just eyeball it, whereas nasa's budget is constantly being cut year after year.

I think the goal is great, however a hoarding, exploiting, ridiculous billionaire narcissist like Elon is what most despise. Nasa, would have a robust budget if we all decided economics together rather than the capitalist minority.

@r.t.hannah9575 22 күн бұрын

@@Mkenran Space X spent roughly $3 Billion last year while NASA’s budget was nearly $25 Billion. Space X can afford destructive prototyping not because they have more funds, but because they’re not directly paid for by taxes. The perception of failure harms government organizations because we the people don’t like to see billions of our dollars burn up in orbit. So NASA is forced to run decades of simulations so that every test flight does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Space X can aim wide, miss wide, but still collect the data and incorporate updates in the next rocket without backlash. It seems advances in rocket technology have benefitted from rapid prototyping and testing.

But I dont think that people like him who say that "overpopulation" automatically means populations from african and south east asian countries that cause climate change, obviously there is some truth to the fact that overpopulation does stress the "natural environment" and maybe because he is so "close" to nature all the time, its hard for him to see how that viewpoint has racist undertones.. i dunno.

A vessel of this size could also launch thousands of, for example, 4 inch reflector telescopes each the size of a cubesat working in visible light. These could then be public telescopes in space where amateur astronomers and Joe public could be controlling and observing on their desktop at home for a small fee perhaps beginning at 30 minutes going to 24 hours for example. Where to place them, what their life would be and how to dispose of them when life expired are some of the questions that clearly would need answering. Not to mention attitude control, attitude control parameters, power usage and so on. But it could be done, I'm sure. The more I think about it, the more I think it's viable at some point in the not so distant future.

I had a somewhat similar idea for having a large collection of relatively small cheap telescopes, with mirrors more in the range of 1m. That could then share data like they do with the event horizons project. The one fatal flaw of the plan is the data sharing aspect, not sure how one would do that cheaply with current technology, but if that hurdle is overcome in the future. We could have a space telescope with a collection aperture larger then our own planet, and the more telescopes there are the higher resolution we'd get. Getting the price point relatively low for every part of the satellites would be essential as a dozen of them wouldn't be able to offer anything better then what event horizons is already doing. But a few hundred would be mind blowing levels of detail.

Something that I think could be interesting is the idea of being able to deorbit and reorbit these high-risk satellites for study and modification. Imagine the Nautilus project having the capability to re-load failed units back into the Starship for earth-based inspection, and then apply that knowledge to the next batch. You could afford to just send it and find out, no need to perform billions of dollars worth of ground-based engineering beforehand. By the time you get to billions of dollars spent, you have an optimized system of thousands of unit telescopes sent for cheaper and cheaper with each launch.

The success/failure of the first flight shows there are many obstacles ahead, time will have to be spent on re-designing a viable launch pad/system, and increasing the reliability of the raptor engines, which I think has quite a way to go. However, those of us who have followed SpaceX’s failures and successes over the years have no doubt that they will ultimately solve these problems and give us this launch capability in the very near future. Please keep these videos coming.

@@CoolWorldsLab however, there are some doubts, that "reusability" makes launches cheaper. In order to get breakeven point reusable rocket must have launches constantly, but there is no such demand on the market. SpaceX can't find a client for Falcon Heavy, hardly finds clients launches for Falcon9 - substituting them with another ponzi-alike venture - Starlink. It is hardly understandable, is there any client, which needs to launch 150 tons to the LEO. So far, Starship's reusability is dead by arrival, except of Starlink launches. Knowing Musk's business style by example of Solar City, there is considerations that SpaceX cannot reach breakeven point, compensating it with flow from investors and venture foundations.

The man said they would launch humans to Mars in 2024, but it sure doesn’t look that way now. He recently readjusted it to 2029. This is a common theme for Musks wild claims.

So, firstly, long time fan, love this channel! Ok, I have a thought in regards to your comments concerning the reduced complexity of a larger storage area inside the Starship. Would that have the unintended side effect of slowing innovation? A lot of the problems we have to overcome to get these things in orbit have had solutions that trickle down to many many other feilds do they not? I can't exactly think of examples off the top of my head, but logically I'm sure there are plenty. That being said, not untilizing a technology, because it could possibly slow potential problem solving resulting theoretically in a new groundbreaking technology is kind of stupid, I agree, but I do think this is at least worth a thought.

@dawnfallon6812 Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't think so. Reduced complexity means fewer failure points that have to be planned for. If anything, it would allow engineers to design more robust solutions. Think about what it would be like if Webb didn't need to fold the mirror. A huge portion of the cost for Webb was solving all of the folding issues. If it wasn't necessary to fold it? Think of the possibilities for the funding. Better instruments. More instruments. Better cooling solutions. Maybe even a whole other telescope? Here's another thought. Let's assume we like folding telescopes. How much larger of a mirror could you fold into Starship?

It is such a shame that most of the money SpaceX saves NASA continues to be handed over to Boeing, SLS, and Blue Origin for their poorly managed projects that simply do not work for various reasons.

That's not how NASA's budget works. The money for SLS is allocated by Congress, it can't be used for anything else. As for Blue Origin, etc, part of NASA's job is to get multiple companies working on multiple options. As for Starliner; the key part to understand is, Boeing and SpaceX weren't paid to provide the same work. The Commercial Crew Program is designed to provide seats to the ISS in a similar manner, yes, but it's also designed to have that done by two providers. SpaceX was paid to develop a spacecraft, building on the knowledge gained from the cargo craft it was already launching. Boeing was paid to essentially start from scratch. Crew Dragon is a very different craft than Cargo Dragon, but it wasn't starting from scratch. SpaceX's bid price was based on their expectation that the rocket's cost would be partially recouped by reusing it. Boeing's bid price was based on them knowing they had to use an expendable Atlas.
