Some of the media groups that watch SpaceX (NSF, LabPadre, WAI, House, etc) track and follow much of the hardware being built, down to individual ring segments for the boosters. SpaceX very definitely built over 300 Raptors. Interestingly though, the Raptor 3 series seems to have started over at serial number 1 again. |

Do those who keep up with this thread think that IFT5 will happen in September? Not a peep out of SpaceX about it since declaring on August 8 that they are "ready to fly, pending regulatory approval". In the past, they've conducted soft pressure campaigns to urge the FAA to speed things along. This time they seem content to just sit and wait.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hesperus: Mercury is a bit more habitable than Mars if you can stay between the light and dark sides. But the main things that it offers are resources, especially water. Combined with the energy of the sun. The first thing that will need to be built on Mercury will be a railway track. Once that is completed other things will grow out of it. Solar reflectors can be built en mass out of it's resources. Once we have a large industrial base on the planet then we have the ability to do all manner of interesting things with the Sun's energy. Directing it away from Venus. Towards Mars, making the sun itself an engine that will allow us to take the solar system wherever we want to go. The sheer size of these projects will demand that they take millennia. There will also be the necessity that they be managed by a computer network more sophisticated than anything we have right now. Something more evolved than most people currently alive on this planet. But I believe that this can be done and that it will give us a future well beyond most people's imaginations. Which are unfortunately mostly stuck somewhere between Mad Max and Star Trek. Who knows, Mad Max might still be a possibility. But that won't last forever. Star Trek won't happen for a bundle of different reasons. The big one being that FTL travel is probably not something that we are ever going to crack anytime soon and even if we do. Its energy demands will probably be quite outrageous. Erm... not remotely. Mercury has no atmosphere at all. Water? Ha what water? There might be some hidden in shadowed craters at the poles but it's a fraction of what's at Mars. Mercury is tiny... only slightly bigger than our Moon. Its gravity won't hold on to an atmosphere so it can't be terraformed. Its gravity is also likely too little for Humans to live healthily. It being so far down the Solar gravity well towards the Sun is also a problem. Getting to it and getting back from it requires a heck ton of Delta V to slow down to get to it or speed up to go anywhere else. Let alone the increased radiation from the Sun. You'd have to go deep underground to be protected from it. It isn't near many asteroids so can't be used as a convenient asteroid processing facility (like Mars can). So no industrial base can be built there. No the only thing Mercury might be useful for is to Dismantle it to construct a Dyson swarm from its materials. I suppose there are a few other things materials from a dismantled Mercury could be used for... focusing solar energy into a beam for solar sail vessels for instance... But as a place for habitation? No Mercury is just about the worst possible place in the solar system for habitation. |

Delta-V to Mercury landing is ~25km/s. It's a little less to land on Ganymede, around Jupiter.
I think it might be Fraser Cain or someone else that has a massive hard-on for Mercury for some reason. Figuring out how to float on Venus sounds more appealing. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hesperus: Wouldn't surprise me at all. I seem to recall hearing quite some time ago that Lockheed and BWX had been issued a contract for a demonstration nuclear engine to go between here and the moon. Nuclear engines have a lot of advantages and space is already full of ionizing radiation. I'm not an engineer in that field but I don't see how Raptor 3 can be improved. It already looks like something far beyond most current liquid rocket motors. Getting to Mercury will probably demand a nuclear engine of some sort. In my view that rock is far more valuable than Mars will ever be. It's going to be interesting when Musk finally opens a nuclear division. There's quite a few people who have been waiting impatiently for him to do that. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hesperus: Originally Posted By shooter_gregg: Raptor 4 may be nuclear.

The offshore launch platforms will probably be under construction and we will be on the cusp of another moon landing. This time to stay. The possibilities that this will open up will be quite interesting. For all of human history we have looked up at the moon and seen a lifeless rock.

No Mercury is just about the worst possible place in the solar system for habitation. Venus would be a much better candidate than mercury or mars. You have to think more floating cities though. You would have nearly limitless energy just by dropping some tubes and stuff in the deeper atmosphere, pressure in the upper atmo is similar to earth, gravity would allow for some level of (well i guess not terraforming more like aeroforming) It also has something of a magnetoshpere. Biggest problem is the acidic clouds. |

New communication from The FAA SpaceX Boca Chica Project Team. Basically, it's referencing the claims that SpaceX dismissed as inaccurate reporting from CNBC: https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1823080774012481862 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released the Draft Tiered Environmental Assessment (Draft EA) for SpaceX’s proposal to increase the number of launches and landings of its Starship/Super Heavy Vehicle at the Boca Chica Launch Site in Cameron County, Texas on July 29, 2024. The FAA invited interested parties to submit comments on the Draft EA. The public comment period for the Draft EA closes on August 29, 2024. On August 9th, 2024, the FAA became aware of allegations that SpaceX violated the Clean Water Act at the Boca Chica Launch Site. The FAA was unable to confirm the accuracy of certain representations in SpaceX’s license application and the Draft Tiered Environmental Assessment prior to the public meetings scheduled for August 13th, 15th, and 20th. As a result, the FAA chose to postpone the public meetings until these matters could be resolved. The FAA will release a Revised Draft Tiered Environmental Assessment (Revised Draft EA) in the future. The Revised Draft EA will be accompanied by an additional public comment period and public meetings. The dates, times, and locations of the rescheduled public meetings will be made publicly available at least 30 days in advance of the meetings. All comments received on the Draft EA between July 29 and August 29, 2024, as well as the forthcoming Revised Draft EA will be given equal weight and be taken into consideration.
