  1.  @hclau362  , tell me what in my comment is delusional.

  2. Don’t panic. The video just got one item wrong, and it’s a common mistake.

  3. Why do we need two landers to the moon? SpaceX already won the low bid. Why is there a duplication of effort?

  4. China is thinking of doing expensive space and lunar projects despite 3/4 of their people starving. They should just declare themselves as a Third World country while focusing on feeding their own people.

  5. Instead of cancelling the SLS rocket, the Biden administration using the FAA, is cancelling Starbase itself.

  6. Why not SpaceX just go to the moon and Mars all by themselves without NASA. There should be nothing illegal about that. When NASA decide to hitch a ride and do government projects on those bases, that’s when they get hit with fees.

  7. Ok dudes, here’s the formula: P (gage) + 14.7 psi = P (absolute) ; P (gage) = P (absolute) - 14.7 psig.

  8. To explain further: when a gage is reading zero, that means it’s not reading the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure is another 14.7 psi. In space where there is no atmosphere and therefore no atmospheric pressure, we will die. That 14.7 psi is something we do not feel because the atmospheric pressure is exerted inside and outside of our bodies. Just like fishes can live in extreme depth in the ocean, the hydrostatic pressure is exerted inside and outside their bodies.

  9.  @oldbloke135  , inhaling CO2 is psychological?

  10. They’re allowed 135 second burn? Why not 135.62 seconds?

  11. Titan would be useful for permanent manned orbiting stations in the middle of the solar system where abundant supply of O2 and methane would be available. It wouldn’t matter what the fuel requirements would be to convert extremely sub-cooled ice to water, then to O2 because methane as fuel is available in great abundance. An AI factory for O2 conversion and cargo ship loading on its surface can supply O2 and methane to the orbiting stations for as much as it wants. AI robots can supervise and maintain the factory and cargo loading system. In fact, any Saturnian colony or orbiting bases can be supplied from Titan as well. The plastic sands and mountains can be used as fuel as long as it’s exhaust is properly controlled. The same material can be used as shelter while O2 and methane is used for breathing and heat for human habitation. Saturn’s celestial system is secured for space mining and research because of Titan.

  12. As long as a country or a company disposes its rocket after take-offs, they’re still in the previous generation rocketry and totally obsolete. China is doomed in the rocket business as well.

  13.  @R0bobb1e  , you would think he used a rock first as passenger to see if it would launch successfully. I think this feat merits a place in the idiot hall of fame, not in the real rocketry business.

  14.  @mylesgray3470  , that’s beside the point who works on the project. It’s who manages the project and the excessive profits they make is what we’re discussing.

  15. The Space Race, correction: SpaceX is working in collaboration with Varda Space Industries to manufacture things in space. Boeing and Blue Origin as usual are just copying Varda’s and SpaceX mission just like Blue Origin’s copy of internet/communications satellites.

  16. China will not takeover anything including a rat hole while competing with the US commercial space companies. It’s lot will be that of Russia’s Roscosmos. They should focus more on feeding their population.

  17.  @lordgarion514  , go for it!

  18.  @oldbloke135  , I didn’t think I was in this discussion. How did we get to living in an inflatable?

  19.  @davidbowerman6433  , -14.7 is pure vacuum.

  20.  @wakamoli8248  , in addition, use a barometer for negative pressures as meteorologists do.

  21. What happened is SpaceX is developing a spaceship that will be traveling to Mars in much shorter time. So NASA has decided it will develop its own to keep itself relevant. If it weren’t for SpaceX, we’d still be launching satellites in the tens of billions of dollars each launch and initiatives to the moon and Mars will still be a distant dream.

  22. China can’t even take over a small kitchen properly without burning it down let alone space.

  23. DON...., your quotation probably refers to your hemorrhoid in your as s.

  24. China has no business worrying about whether or not they get to Mars first. They have people who can’t even withdraw their bank account, people starving and drowning in the floods, having 25,000 fires and explosions a day, huge unemployment, an economy that’s collapsing, huge debt to GDP ratio of at least 300%, uncontrolled pandemic just to name a few.

  25.  @hclau362  , so you deny all of those I mentioned do not exist? When people from China who have VPNs on their computers report all these things over and over and from different sources. When they show actual videos of what’s going on in China? They’re all lying and making up stories? In today’s high tech communication, it is impossible containing news like China is trying to do. It’s like trying to contain a gallon of water with your hands. It only makes liars like you look like real fools.

  26.  @plozar  ,do you know how much oxygen is needed to blow up a satellite that big? You might need all the oxygen of Earth or close to it.

  27. Sethia....., blowing up a human being with dynamite is not a reasonable way of launching to merit a first.

  28.  @keeh8267  , I have! Most experiments are done with people as far away as possible in case of failure.

  29. Instead of cancelling the SLS rocket, the Biden administration using the FAA, is cancelling Starbase itself.

  30.  @Irobert1115HD  , you pagans are into nature worshipping so animals first before human innovations. That’s despite the fact that Boca Chica is a tiny place in the refuge of birds and fishes in the millions.

  31.  @Irobert1115HD  , and you can’t even spell facilities correctly. How are we to believe you have science behind your works, or how you understand the real science?

  32.  @Irobert1115HD  , yes, if we removed you and Greta-like people the human species will flourish.

  33. China is not going to colonize Mars without achieving retrievability of rockets. That will take them decades.
