Basically the title. They just keep getting things wrong, ranging from little issues in dialogue to plot breaking errors. It’s like they forgot how Spaceflight works.
When Starship achieves decent cadence (probably sometime next year), I can see that the cost per single launch might be higher than F9’s for a bit, but surely FH’s market would be entirely covered within a year or so?
After his mutiny on Apollo 11 you’d think they’d never let him off the ground again. Also, a little unrelated, but do we know what happened to Armstrong or Aldrin in FAM? Either of them ever go to Jamestown?
With their manned space programme? When the ISS goes down in 2030 they’ll have no destinations. No capacity to get to Tiangong or the moon without buying seats on Chinese missions, and i cant imagine they’ll be welcome on any western space stations that might arise soon. Could they, hypothetically, just take a couple of ISS modules before it deorbits and operate it from there? Do they have the capacity to launch a small, single launch station in the spirit of Salyut?
The failed base lander that left a crater, that is. I had assumed it would be at first, but after seeing what happened, surely it can’t possibly be? after all, nothing actually went down to the surface.
Venus? The way I’m reading it is that Korolev honestly plans to send some bits of spare equipment to LEO on an N1 and expect it to fly to another planet? I feel like I’m going mad, I must be missing something.
I’m a new player and I just can’t figure out half of the building menu, for example selecting or deleting individual parts.
I’m not going to try to make any kind of case for this, because I’m sure everyone here will have heard it all before, but what would it take for you to vote for someone else?
This has been bugging me for months. I’ve heard a few people say that Orion just doesn’t have the Delta V to enter and leave orbit, but if that’s the case, what on Earth is going to change for Artemis IV? They can’t get a boost from HLS either, as the thrust balancing wouldn’t work out with Blue moon/orion
Liked this episode, but a few hard to swallow pills;
1), it seems absurd that Mars can’t just SEE the huge, bright ship, even if the USMC can hide its departure and disappearance from the press, unless there are inexplicably no telescopes on Mars.
2), much as I love a good Apollo 12 reference, the storm should not have been nearly that powerful
3), with regards to the plot to destroy the docking platform, it seems absurd that they need people on the hopper. Surely just dock and blow it up remotely? Or just ram it?
Back when shuttle flew there was a debate as to whether it counted as heavy lift (if you include the orbiter as payload, it was). When the 100+ tons of payload for starship are mentioned, is that including the ship/orbiter and the fuel it needs for deorbit/landing or just straight deployable payload?
Does RO support wet workshops? If not, can anyone recommend a mod that does?
Bonus question, if the USSR had decided to escalate the space race again after they lost the moon and committed to a semi permanent moon base, how quickly could they have got it done with either Proton or Energia?
Requiring Direct ascent to complete challenges actually punishes realism.
I just find that this season, the dialogue is not great. take last episode. Half the discussions seemed to be :
-Character A: ‘this thing is bad. it’s violating our rights. ’
-Character B: ‘no.‘
