SLS VS Starship: Why does SLS still exist?!
Переглядів 3,277,515
День томуNASA just announced the lunar landers for the Artemis program and to everyone’s surprise, SpaceX’s MASSIVE Starship is actually one of the landers NASA chose alongside Blue Origin and Dynetics.
And this is bringing up a lot of questions, some of which we’ll answer in my next video, “Should NASA just cancel SLS and use Starship and / or other commercial launchers for Artemis?”. But today I think we need to settle a lot of debates here first about these two rockets and now more than ever, it’s time we truly pit them head to head.

The thing I still find most amazing is, well, the Saturn V used literally visible magnets as it's memory for the guidance system programming. This memory was a wire grid sewn BY HAND with iron rings as memory bits. The fact that the Saturn V and lunar module running on magnetic core memory, with only a few kilobits of memory, made it to the moon is astounding. That is still being compared to modern completely digital guidance systems.

Especially when you're asking for government to pick and choose private company winners by awarding them massive long term contracts, paying for any overruns, etc... You guys might also want to note that Starship is coming up on 8 years now, they are not that far behind SLS in time and I don't think they're where SLS was even on day one yet. So... I don't think Starship will end up working ever. As for Elon... he throws around a lot of numbers I don't believe even remotely.

@@bkreativepainting7461 It depends how you see reentries. Lets's say you fire bullets into the water but you want them to land on the ground of the pond , without getting deformed. What do you do? You reenforce them, harder bullets, More resisting meterials, optimized shape for penetrating the water surface &c. But there is also another way to get your "projectiles" safely to the ground of the pond. You can reduce their density and increasing their volume in order to have them floating, in hobes over the ponds water surface only haveing short contact with the water. The projectile would rotate so there is no wear on one place but the "work" of hitting the water surface and jumping off of it would be equaly distributed on a large part of the projectile. Once the hobs over the water surface reduced the speed enough the projectile would endup like a floating tank on top of the pond and slowly sink to the ground. A realy cool way to reduce the density of your space vehicle is to keep the empty tank! And use it to hob and float in the surface of the atmosphere. The idea is a way slower entry into the gas and having way more speed bled of in the zone where atmosphere and space meet.

SLS is an incredibly complicated human rated space launch system being developed by world class engineers. While 'starship' is an empty underdeveloped stainless steel fuel tank with some rockets bolted to it being blown up in the desert. It is pretty insulting to the engineers at NASA when you compare the two. Star ship will never launch humans into space while being anything close to the current 'design' mock ups. For one there is not even an LES system on the starship design which means it will not be human rated and I don't see how they could integrate one with the current design unless they start over. SpaceX's philosophy here of making everything simple is a misunderstanding of why engineers work towards simplicity. You first design a very complicated system that works very reliably so you understand it and then you streamline it to make it even more reliable ergo making it 'simpler'. You cant just start with making a simple system and skip the understanding part like SpaceX is doing now. That way you will run into a wall when you try to make it reliable. This is why they have made zero progress in the past year.

@PanduPoluan 4 роки тому
It's quite difficult to rendezvous in space, though. And assembling in space might result in a lot of debris. So, assembling in LEO might not be a good idea. _Refueling_ in LEO is more sensible though. Just one rendezvous (between the waiting Starship and the refueler Starship) instead of many rendezvous-es (between the Assembly station and lots of supply vehicles). That's why SpaceX's proposal for landing on the moon involves at least 1 LEO fuel transfer.

@@armr6937 the issue is how many billions that 2 man EVA costs, to do the work that would take a few minutes with a big crew on earth. That's why ISS used the largest subsections they could fly and had minimum work designed to be done on orbit. If you want something larger for interplanetary missions, you send up the largest chunks you can fly, and have them designed to be able to be joined together with the least human touch, possibly even roboticlly. Humans are VERY inefficient with no gravity, and very limited in motion in bulky suits. So don't expect to see ANY construction in leo, just possibly assembly of quick connect sub sections. And there is also no need for a fuel depot. Instead of launching a big empty tank then launching tankers to fill it, and having to maintain the cryo in a liquid state for long periods, you just launch as many tankers as needed, dock them together, and then pump it over.
@PanduPoluan 4 роки тому
@@armr6937 As you have yourself said, it took _decades_ to build the ISS. And every addition had to be meticulously planned and executed. Then after adding a component, hours upon hours of EVA to connect the bits, not to mention hours upon hours to test the integration (electrical & otherwise) of the new modules. Refueling is much simpler: Align the ports, dock/connect, and pump until the refueler is empty. No need for electrical connections, leak tests, contaminant test, etc. All the necessary components are self-contained -- and _ruggedized_ -- in the first vehicle. The ruggedization is actually quite important: It's hard to ruggedize things (especially components) in microgravity. But if the things are rugged enough to survive liftoff from Earth, then it should be rugged enough to survive interplanetary travel which will likely employ much less thrust / force / acceleration.

"I'm showing my Iowa again". Seems like a disproportionate amount of astronauts and even space-related scientists and engineers come from agriculture-heavy states. Maybe clear star-filled skies while growing up are the inspiration for it.

@@eekamak A large portion of that dust (and pieces a lot larger than dust) will reach escape velocity. That means everything in Lunar orbit is going to get scrubbed by the exhaust.

Sadly it is the existing "money before work with no guarantee" culture in Congress that is the root of this evil. Congress will hold the money source for ransom until All their favorite legacy contractors have had a taste. Then demand that they be kept in the system, all the while not demanding they achieve anything in the way of progress.

Boeing is used to getting more and more money due to the cost-plus way the federal government does business. It's always been a criminal way of doing things. It appears Boeing doesn't make any of it's employees answer for mistakes made, particularly it's engineering department, i.e. the Starliner capsule that didn't know what time it was among other things. I hope Musk and SpaceX continue to make leaps and bounds progress over everyone else.

I’m very late watching this one but it was interesting. I was a contract negotiator for the Air Force earlier in my career and then went to defense contractors. Your observations on keeping a big, complex project going across administrations was spot on. Secondly, I feel validated finally to hear somebody else but me say SpaceX is following the Soviet development model. I was 9 when I watched Neil walk on the moon. Very disappointed in the massive lull in manned exploration. It’s great to see so many young people so excited. Keep up the good work.

@thimkful 3 роки тому
@Shem Casimir Because lobbying is legal and effective. So if nothing else shareholders will demand it, at some point. Cost+ plus contracts are not unique to NASA or government aerospace as a whole. The fix would involve making lobbying illegal and ineffective, which in turn would probably require deep campaign finance reform, including budget caps. Which would be fine with me. The current system is corrupting, and hostile to democracy.

@@thimkful Maybe reducing the size and the power of the government to a bare minimum could be an even more effective fix? Corruption and money from private donators will always find their way into Washington, there's not much you can do about that! But what you CAN do, is limit the negative outcome of that corruption by eliminating the government's ability to do certain companies/industries a huge favor. Big private donators would still exist then but they wouldn't donate nearly as much, cause the investment risk would be much higher for them. They'd only support policies that are generally helping the economy - Policies that are not just helping themselves to make more profit, but also smaller companies and entrepreneurs, which are no less important for the future of our economy.
