As a reference. Avengers Endgame's budget was over £266M ($356M). £105M ($140M) of the publics money was given to a private company, with nothing to show for it, as it sounds like a large percentage went to top tier hires. Shouldn't there be mechanisms in place to stop misappropriation of public funds to safeguard citizens and their taxes?
I believe the Sierra's inflatable modules may be the way. Can this approach meet all requirements? I don't know. But in concept, it seems to make sense. When a company's cost over-run, that is a sign of poor planning. Once the costs ballooning symptoms become noticeable, you know you probably need to cancel it. While ballooning space modules may be the way, ballooning budgets are a manifestation of a lack of forsight.
For now SpaceX should continue focusing on Starship. You have to have an economical bulk transport system before any of this will be possible. Then building a much larger replacement will be feasible. Then the aged IIS space station could be retired.
SpaceX has a viable rocket, Super Heavy, and a Viable hull for the modules now if they use the Super Heavy as a single use platform. I am willing to bet that if tasked, SpaceX could produce a habitation and power module based on Starship within 2 years.
Possibly. The devil is in the details after all. In my opinion the next orbital station we should focus on human physiology in low gee environments. Specifically at 16% and 34% of Earth's gravity. We have data on zero gee. And one gee. What are the effects of reduced gravity. There will be effects. But placed on a graph does it track in a straight line from zero gee to one gee. Are the effects on a curve? If on a curve does the curve start shallow then trend upward rapidly as you approach one gee. Or does the curve trend upward and then flatten out. This is data that we could have had a handle on by now even building on Shuttle components. If we had wanted to.
Imagine a SpaceX Starship converted into a space station with inflatable Sierra modules sticking out of the sides of the Starship and the whole thing spinning like a football so that the inflatable modules experience centrifuge gravity
They don't need to build a new station. They just need paired tethered StarShip configuration which would be easier to maintain, service and upgrade and replace. It would also allow for the large diameter spin for stable artificial gravity. The solution is right in front of them.
SpaceX has produced a successful reliable, efficient and partly reusable Falcon platform for satellites, ISS supplies and crew but as SLS are currently experiencing and we are often told... past performance is not an indicator of future performance. We need to remember that Starship is a very complex, yet promising launch system that still faces many challenges.
SpaceX should just take over the ISS and use it as a building platform for a stable large scale space station with 100s to 1000s of full-time workers. The station could use all organic waste to make methane for itself and starship.
YES. Vast has the best ROI for near term "occasionally" manned LEO. Full time manned LEO? There just is no commercial business case. Time for NASA to leave crewed LEO behind. But I don't see SX doing anything on its own in the next 10 years.
@@kb9gkc I watched the Apollo 11 landing on television as a child but now I'm thinking "Hang on a second, that was just 8 years after the first spaceflight, but 55 years on we can't really do much of anything in space".
@@martinsavage6838 Each generation is less capable then the last. Our technology has made up for some of it but the decline is exponential. We are witnessing the collapse of Civilization.
Technically they can let the Russians take their hardware and we can send up a brand new power and control module to replace the Russian pieces. After that a new station can emerge while slowly ditching the old hardware.
It used to be the major aviation and aerospace companies had the founders name on the letterhead and the founder was still in charge. Lockheed, Boeing, Douglas, Grumman, etc. Now the founders are gone and these former giants are seen as nothing more than cash cows for the major shareholders. I wonder how much of Boeing, Lockheed-Martin etc are owned by Black Rock, Fidelity and other equity firms.
Typically, on contracts like these NASA will require a detailed plan from the company on how they plan to meet the contract. This includes who they are going to hire and when they are going to hire them. NASA failed to see that the plan as submitted was flawed and would not allow the company to meet the schedule.
It's rather funny that SpaceX embodies what made America a great country! I All facets of industry at that! All the others are making excuses, milking the budgets for everything and failing to deliver anything, your typical legacy thinking and actions! The problem that currently faces SpaceX is finding sufficient loads for Starship on a frequent basis. 25 launches per year planned at 100 tons per launch is a lot of equipment in space! Multiple problems arise from having a space station, the first is the core, the very first piece of the puzzle. And at present everyone is thinking small when Starship can make it so much bigger! The second one is just as important, construction personnel will need to transition to space top make it happen, for maintenance and alterations, then of course automatic manufacturing machines (3d printing machines for space parts?). The evolving of SpaceX spacesuits is in play now, no doubt modifications are already under way! Plus there's also two ways of thinking, earth thinking or space thinking? I wonder which works best in space.
The Problem Is Using Third Party Companies To Build Parts For Your Space Station, Vast Builds Everything In-house That Is Why Vast In Doing Well And Axiom Space Is Going Bankrupt If Management And The Why To Do Things Isn't Changed, Axiom Space Build Things Yourself No Third Parties Getting Involved It's Simple Guys.
Seems too many individual companies involved. Elon musk said once , you can only succeed with everything in house .RnD as well. Do not remember any problems like this on the ISS construction years ago.
NASA needs reinvigoration, young and innovative people in leadership positions, people that care about progress more than towing party lines, and pleasing political agendas.
This is sad News, I hope something gets resolved. SpaceX need to be careful not to diversify into some of these projects to much without guaranteed income and losing focus on their primary goals.
Yes. SpaceX should enter into discussions with Axiom and NASA with SpaceX taking a controlling interest or out right buying the company. SpaceX also needs to enter into discussions with Sierra Space on the Dream Chaser and negotiate a launch agreement to get the Dream Chaser certified for human launching. VAST should be able to connect to the Axiom space station and give us all a new, robust space station.
Question: what is the business case for a for profit space station? Why are there three different projects chasing such a slim business case? At the present time, space is an expense, not a for profit effort. SpaceX is successful because launch services does generate a profit and Starlink is a valuable service. NASA needs to focus less on trying to establish competition and focus instead on quality workmanship and technical excellence (like SpaceX).
Following are major scientific breakthroughs achieved during 20 years of human presence on the ISS. Fundamental Disease Research. ... Discovery of Steadily Burning Cool Flames. ... New Water Purification Systems. ... Drug Development. ... Combatting Muscle Atrophy and Bone Loss. ... Understanding How the Body Changes in Microgravity. Without the ISS, we apparently wouldn't have water filtration systems. Clean burning fuel. Robots building cars. And how compensate for a sedentary lifestyle. That treatment for cancer could very well be discovered in a zero gravity environment.
As Starship succeeds in bringing the cost to orbit way down, a whole new set of strong players and opportunities for Space development will emerge. The current space station has plenty of life left in it if necessary.
SpaceX must make 2 Telescoping 100m StarShip without wings and any like a fuel depot. SpaceX must start on the development of the 4 port Depot/HUM for Mars 5 ship Cluster or a 2 port for 3 ship cluster.
@@colonbina1 can you just imagine a space station variant of Starship where they don't need flaps, header tanks or heat shield and getting a push from Raptor 3's. The uppers section could be twice as long and then imagine half a dozen of them in some sort of hub arrangement. They have already proven the launch capability, they don't need to be able to land any of it apart from the booster. Nobody else has a chance to compete. BO might have a good rocket coming sooooooon, but they are just way too slow.
The international space station should not be decommissioned until they have a replacement up and running and confirmed. NASA and their desire to decommission it due to budget is stupid basically because it’s going to cost more to replace and they can’t have a break in having the station running and not. To me, it would make more sense to take the material that they have up there and cannibalize it even if it’s, beginning to fail for no other reason to use it as structural skeleton in some manner.
NASA, as always, right on time just like they were with the shuttle retirement. They had nothing in the works to replace the shuttle until long after its retirement. Talk about being short-sighted?
Just wait until SpaceX Launches a Starship set-up as a space station with Optimus bots climbing out & unfurling solar panels. Then finding that they have purchased a inflatable hab & installed it within the top tank giving them 2x or 3x the habitable space of the ISS. 😅😊 It will probably be a modified v3. When they show that they can refuel into header tanks within the aft tank & still burn the Raptors for significant orbital changes 😅 NASA will be 😢. A refuelling depot station with a fleet of tugs operating from it could extend the service lives of satellites hugely. If you could refuel those big expensive DOD satellites & change out their old modules they would love you long time$$$$.😊
@@colonbina1 SpaceX will become obsolete when my project to cancel gravity is complete. I am almost on the brink of nullifying the curvature of space-time around an object.
This is again a typical case of every outsider looking at the plan and budget and just asking... Why? ... I mean, if you can send up an entire space station star ship version with 10X the space, and for 10X less cost soon... It seems that these projects are just a victim of progress. That would be like me planning to build, and found the largest company for human made online translations - now... :-D
Axiom is a joke waste of money no results in 4 years wait for it..... No more money 😂. Make the car and we'll buy it. To many people & companies make promises they won't keep not that they can't! We did it in the old days, just lazy and greed, either you can or 😮.
