Space Exploration and Aerospace Thread!
This is a thread where you can share videos and information about future missions and general information about the future of space exploration and aerospace. SpaceX Aims to achieve a single stage to orbit and return craft. A fully re-usable craft will reduce the cost of space flight dramatically. Spacecraft fuel usually accounts for less than 4% of a craft's cost, often even less. This video of the grasshopper is the landing stage of their fully reusable rocket. Their test is using the Falcon 9 fuselage. I expect that SpaceX will be fully capable of taking on the responsibility of delivering crew and payload to the ISS.

3 通の返信The shuttles in the STS were fully re-usable, yet they consumed an average of US$1.5B per flight... I was heartbroken to see the end of the STS program - but I do admit that privatisation was a smart move all around, even if the primary motivation due to Uncle Sam's tightrope budget. NASA can focus on flights beyond LEO, especially on the golden grail of a manned mission to Mars, and flights to the ISS will have reduced operating costs due to private competition. However, it must be pretty galling for Americans to watch the Russians and Chinese expand outward while NASA's sitting there engaged in R&D.

This is somewhat related, but I hope it doesn't go too far outside the bounds of the thread. It is also just a simple question. Does anyone here have opinions in regards to string theory or M-theory? Does anyone here lean towards one over the other? Why?

7 通の返信Honestly I think all of the stuff that is going on in the public space industry is a big waste of money, because the bulk of R&D and money is spent on technology that is still based on technology from the beginning years of modern Human space technology. Billion's of dollars spent on making primitive "firecracker" rockets/delivery systems, I think that kind of money should be spent on R&D for spatial distortion (Wormhole's and such)
