Don’t expect any of this to be reality in our lifetimes. We might not even get back to the moon for fifty or a hundred years, and it’ll likely be the Chinese who get there. When Elon Musk dies, the impetus to get off world will die with him. The Americans are on a rapid road to self-destruction, so someone else will have to get out there.

As a science enthusiast in general, but someone with a background in Psychology, the most interesting thing about our massive change in space travel, isn’t what we’ll do once there…
Every day I gauge the level of “true comprehension” the average person has about science or space… Even your most tech savvy youth really lack a general overall sense of outer space. They’re simply clueless….
Add in AI, robotics, what AI and super computers will do for physical and chemical engineering, etc and tomorrow will be surreal to most of you…. There’s just way too much of a gap between what most know about even the most fundamental basics, and the incredible advancements taking place at warp speed in science and engineering.
If you laugh because senior citizens can’t use a smartphone/computer, that’s nothing to the 100 fold gap between today’s human and tomorrow’s science sprint… My greatest concern won’t be getting payload into space, but rather getting the human psyche to catch up to it…..

Venus is the place to go. It has heat and active chemicals like sulfur. We could build floating cities on the atmosphere while we solve the problems of landing and terraforming.
Mars is cold and dead. It has long passed the goldylox zone. There is no probable way to create a pressure atmosphere on Mars unless we burn half of it up with fusion energy.

Why are rockets launched via thrust/rocket fuel, instead of using renewable energy and A.I.?
If up-scaled battery drones can lift rocket halfway through the atmosphere (low Gravitational force), where rocket engine can fire, And drones detach themselves from the middle of rocket.
Why not built a space station, as satellite of earth, where starship can be assembled via A.I.

Liquid methane is about $1.50 USD per liter. It will cost $3 million USD just to fuel the UPPER stage. Not the massive booster. Something is off with her math.
Also – Saturn V could put MORE payload into low earth orbit than Starship can. And it will take 10 additional launches to refuel Starship in orbit. So multiply that $2 million USD per launch by 10 and the numbers aren’t nearly as impressive.

Very enthusiastic presentation. Doesn’t live up to the title “Future of GALACTIC Exploration”. Little bit of gaslighting there. Yes the space craft is MUCH bigger than forerunners, but otherwise the same. Given chemical propellants the terminal speeds after launch won’t be significant, meaning true intrastellar travel remains a pipe dream. Sorry. With the proposed plan to “colonize Mars” I think I’ll wait and see. I rather feel that given the immense cost involved, humanity would be better served dealing with the great problems we have on the home planet eg food, shelter, literacy, wars, Tyranny, climate change, epidemics, drought etc etc. R

The spacesuits for Mars are a huge apparently under-recognized problem (or at least under-publicized problem). Spacesuits for the moon worked at about 4 psi and were very cumbersome and very expensive. Going to 1 atmosphere — 14 psi — makes it much much harder. If you don’t have the latter the astronauts will have to depressurize for a few hours to avoid the bends after every excursion. etc…

This is dated material, but interesting. Now it is stainless steel and the refueling will take place in orbit when the refueling station in orbit is full enough to fill a starship in one docking, which a very high-risk endeavor. Why because of the very high mass of the two-objects docking in freefall, is like two 747’s docking while floating without any air turbulence or ground height to worry about. They both weigh many tons and are loaded in this case with huge quantities of fuel and oxygen that have to be moved while in a vacuum with extreme high and low temperatures.
This is going to take a while to figure out, but in time I’m sure they will get it right as NASA is very interested in orbital refueling and has a contract with SpaceX to do just this.
BradiKal61
June 30, 2022 at 12:16 am
I’m betting that maneuvering to starships close together in low Earth orbit for refueling is going to be easier to accomplish then having an orbital booster take off and land safely 127 times in a row, which is what happened as of today.

The Saturn V could loft 140 metric tons to orbit. That’s way more than a Starship but the Saturn V cost a magnitude more and was not reusable. Starship has a payload penalty because it has to take fuel for landing with it. One Starship can potentially launch over 2,000 tons to orbit if it manages 20 flights without RUD
Bruno Oliveira
June 30, 2022 at 12:09 am
you have your things confused.
starship can also take up to 150 metric tons or more to orbit like saturn v. the difference starts when it goes beyond LEO…at LEO, both vehicles can take more then 100 metric tones, but when you start to go GTO or LTI orbits, starship needs to refuel.
But dont confuse yourself, starship can take the same if not more then the saturn v to LEO, it just cant take 40 metric tones to the moon like the saturn v without refueling.
But again, that’s beauty of starship, if refueled it will take more then 100 metric tonnes to the moon, while the Saturn v couldn’t!

I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s no new technology that has been explained here. There’s no reason to think space endeavors are more commercially viable with starship than they are now. I would love to hear how they figure they will cut the costs more than 100 fold.

Sailing voyages to early America were extremely expensive until it was discovered what could be gotten there and returned home for a profit. Making space travel economical and also finding industries that can be profitable will be what makes SpaceX a true leader.

Don’t get me wrong I am a huge fan of the ongoing space exploration, however it is coming at a cost.
We need to find a fuel that is not a hydrocarbon – nuclear is probably the best way to go.
Here is an article regarding issues launching all these rockets – Environmental impact of rocket launches is ozone depletion. High temperatures during launch and re-entry events can convert nitrogen in the air into nitrogen oxides which can deplete ozone in the stratosphere. In addition, emissions of compounds such as NOx, HOx, and ClOx are highly reactive and are directly involved in catalytic cycles, leading to an increase in the ozone removal rate.

Currently space x has a launch cost as of 2022 of $65 million which works out at $1200 per pound. To say they are aiming for a cost of $2 million per launch is quite a projection!
Antares
June 30, 2022 at 2:20 pm
She’s either naive or pretending to be.
The fact that she praises Starship as if it’s completed or even viable shows very low level of critical thinking.
Mark my words: Starship will not work unless they make extreme redesigns.
Everything is wrong with it, including the architecture itself. The fact that it can not reach beyond LEO without massive refuelings is a massive problem. In-orbit refuelings have never been done on this scale AND it would require 10+ refuelling before it could go anywhere beyond LEO. That means 10+ launches… which means months or possible more than a year, just waiting for the tankers. And because of cryogenic boil-off, I highly doubt they’ll ever be able to top it up.
The numbers that SpaceX have put out are impressive… but they are only numbers on a website. Nothing of that has been demonstrated, at all.
And if you are so gullible that you take the numbers on some investor-bait website as 100% accurate, then you have a problem. See, I can also make up numbers: “I’m currently designing a rocket that can deliver 1000 metric tons to a Geostationary orbit. It’s a fully reusable SSTO that can launch ten times per day. The fuel is water and love. Launch cost will be $4.50…. Please give me money and attention”
I know that most people who read this comment will scoff and think I’m wrong. Maybe they are fans of SpaceX or simply really hopeful that we are entering a sci-fi future. That “The Expanse” or “Star Trek” is just around the corner.
And I get that. I also would like magic to be real.
But it isn’t.
But why am I taking time to be the wet blanket? Why can’t people dream?
Well, I have no problem with people wanting the future to be really fancy. In fact, I think it’s great. But we MUST temper our enthusiasm with realism. It’s the only way to actually reach those goals.
If we keep falling for every snake oil salesman like Elon Musk or the “Gateway Foundation” or “Mars One” (the list is even longer), then we’ll end up throwing away all our money and attention on nothing. And then, that future that we all hope for will be LESS likely to happen because we all got so disillusioned by the scam artists.

You can’t just throw down the gauntlet, stop our traditional energy use & make this happen with no infrastructure. Amazing things will happen, when the government stays out of the way. The last great Democrat president we had , was, John Kennedy. He got the ball rolling. I don’t care about his indiscretions, he loved his Country, that goes along way in my book.

I think its a really important point to make that yes, at first, space flight will only be for wealthy. But that is true for every major invention. Computers, TVs, cars, planes, etc. There will always be a motivation for reducing the cost of these new inventions, so that they can reach a larger market.

Rocketry and space technologies are an example of extreme technological devolution. In 1970s both US and USSR had superior technology at cheaper cost. Active dismantling of govt agencies and unfortunately collapse of USSR sealed the fate. Humanity won’t develop space technology unless under threat. China is the only hope for space technology.

If only half that money was spent on restoring healthy soils with fungal mass worldwide, the C02 excess would be stopped and start receding, and food shortages worldwide would be diminished as well as disease, dangerous bacteria and virus. But going on a dead planet were you cannot live anywhere near the surface because of radiation is more important obviously.

So we are going to kill off whatever life is there, because we have never achieved 100% sterilization of all microbiology on a space craft. There are now earth virus spores hanging around the sand on the moon. Fortunately they cannot reproduce or survive long there; however if you submerge them into a warm water ocean they could infect whatever life may exist there.

For the people that don’t know Starship will have it’s first orbital test by the end of the year. Which means that if everything goes alright by the end of 2020s we could be sending starships to mars and begin building the infrastructure so humans could come there by the end of 2030s.
SpaceX is gaining momentum in the last few years and who knows what else the company could do in the following years but I’ll be there to witness the greatness.
