SpaceX Starship SN8 High Altitude Flight Test Live Stream

[Hamartia Antidote]

Going live in 45 minutes!

Alert us when NASA jets in the air

Alert us when NASA jets in the air

NASA jet is a no go, having tech difficulties. Less than 5 mins until SpaceX stream!

Alert us when NASA jets in the air

SpaceX stream is LIVE, 6 minutes to launch!

Hold on countdown
Standby for new T-0

Apparently a Cessna was nearby. That caused the hold.

So close on that landing!!!
Great learning opportunity! That was so close to perfection!

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

I'm sure they are happy. They almost had the landing. Just waited too long to get everything spun up. I bet it took longer than expected for it to steer back over the pad before they could swing the nose up.

 

[F-22Raptor]

Looks like they didnt time the relight correctly, needs more grace on the landing. But that was perfect otherwise.

Just needs more grace on landing.

Great thing is SN9 is already stacked and ready to head to the LC.

Even the engines performed nominally. Its a shame that header tank pressurization caused the RUD.

The control on descent and flip was incredible.

How NASA Worked Around Earth’s Radiation Belts to Land Apollo 11 on the Moon – The Wire Science

science.thewire.in

The link provided is once again a smoke screen, thus further discrediting the whole lunar and Mars manned spaceflights!

One single example only, as I have no time to waste on these kind of paper:

The ideal path for Apollo would’ve been through the north or south magnetic poles because that is where there are no belts. However, that would also have meant burning a lot of fuel to get into the lunar orbital plane.

Then only 8 paragraphs later, we see an illustration that shows precisely that incoming charged solar wind particles are literally channeled in these polar regions (thus the aurora phenemenon) like in a vaccum cleaner, and therefore reaching deadlier than ever rate of concentration and gaining speed (energy) as well:

▲ 1. Incoming charged solar wing particles are literally channeled in these polar regions.

But this is not the only contradiction.

In a dedicated spaceflight forum, the moderator himself has posted a corrected image of the Van Allen Belt also from the very same NASA (!) and not the incorrect one used in the article (itself from the official Apollo era):

Impossible to even escape the deadly zones as they form a closed loop! Thus sealing the fate for the interplanetary manned spaceflight!

You can fool your own people but not all the people in the world and certainly not the educated ones.

NASA Is working on a force field prototype should be ready for the MARS mission

Nice try, but force field are only effective against charged particle.

Absolutely useless against neutral particle such as neutral hydrogen atoms, that is coupled with the solar-wind plasma, high energy neutron, gamma rays, and of course all the secondary highly penetrating particles such as mesons...

I am very pessimistic on the prospect of sending humans to Mars. Trying to retrieve Mars samples is already a major challenge as you need a spaceship that can survive the entry of the Mars atmosphere and able to get back into space from the surface. Also how to put the Mars samples collected from the rovers into the spaceship.
