I just smashed my TV in front of 70 guests at my party because of Eric Berger being on the Relativity launch stream. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at her mother's. Eric Berger and Relativity Space has ruined my marriage. I can’t handle this anymore Goodbye Relativity, you lost a loyal fan.

we were SO CLOSE

TWICE!

true plover
#

That's what she... nvm

rancid tinsel
true plover
#

Because they are the only ones actually using LNG

rancid tinsel
#

hmm

#

so why aren’t they just using pure methane

true plover
#

No idea 🙃

rancid tinsel
#

interesting

#

well i appreciate the answer :)

charred oriole
#

also why is vulcan using pure methane, wasn't be4 designed to do LNG?

true plover
#

BE-4 uses methane, both ULA and Blue say LNG as shorthand

#

But it's not LNG

charred oriole
#

ohhhh

#

I see

#

well that was a bit confusing if im being honest

#

always thought Be4 was LNG so i was wondering why tory said that vulcan was being filled with pure methane

glossy cairn
#

LNG is readily available from many sources, pure methane not as much

rancid tinsel
#

interesting

IIRC the Japanese rocket GX proposed in the mid-2000s would have used their own developed LNG burning 2nd stage engine (LE-8), with Atlas 1st stage (originally Atlas III based, later Atlas V)

Did not know its Lng

I guess yeah

But at that rate call it gas

#

Actually no

charred oriole

this rocket is gas powered

I'd say people know what lpg is but not lng

charred oriole
#

Go to your local gas station

meager echo

Isn't house gas like 80% methane

I'd like to propose the first propellant powered rocket

Who's with me

nah sounds too risky

Are we adding an alternator

How about we create a rocket using gng

Somewhat well-known over here

I suspect that's a US vs UK thing, here in HK we call it LPG

rancid tinsel

or natural gas

Mix of specifically propane, propylene, butylene, isobutane and n-butane

quartz lark
# rancid tinsel huh

Yeah the Japanese was working on LNG/methane very early, huge shame the business side never worked out
(in its final iteration it would have flown from the Atlas V pad at Vandenberg!)

Papá se acabo el gas para la estufa

Yes we do

We should only use the chemical formulas to describe fuels

GX was a design for an expendable launch system intended to compete in the commercial satellite launch sector. The system had developed by Galaxy Express Corporation, a joint venture between IHI Corporation (IHI), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), United Launch Alliance (ULA), Lockheed Martin Corporation (LM) and several other Japan...

so is it a pathfinder or orbital im confused at this point

Let's list the ways a functional Terran 1 in 2023 changes the game:

• Artemis 1 becomes Artemis None
• Moon and Mars are viable destinations
• Launch an entire Gateway to Moon
• Complete disruption of launch industry
• US immediately becomes dominant in space

#

The problem is that no one in power really accepts or plans for the potential of a Terran 1 and Terran R right now. They think it's in some distant, foggy future. That's why Relativity Space is so hellbent on getting it done quickly. Once there's hardware, everything changes.

sullen geyser
#

it has that much potential?

#

I did not know that

proud robin

ah right lmao

Mr. SLS won't launch until 2023

Borgar was also talking about starship launching commercial missions, which now seems to be at least 2025-timeframe

Relativity is scheduled for its third launch attempt of Terran 1, called "GLHF" (Good Luck, Have Fun), from Launch Complex 16 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Our launch window opens at 2200ET on March 22, 2023. This launch of Terran 1 will not include a customer payload.

They keep going on about how incredibly hard space flight is but we’re getting a lot of success recently even if it’s just partial success. What gives space companies??? Trying to hide something???

rancid tinsel
# autumn latch Oh you want a BIG BIG boom Maddie.

i don’t want a big big boom, especially not a pad fallback bc they’re on historic infrastructure at LC-16, and it would cost a lot to fix. I don’t really want it to fail but they’re attitude is let’s get to MaxQ then anything else is bonus points sooooo
