In this episode we examine the concept of a Space Elevator, a popular piece of developing technology designed to lift people and cargo into space at a fraction of normal launch costs. We will look at technology as well as many of the misconceptions about Space Elevators which have emerged. “The physics of the space elevator”, P. K.

As scientists stand on the brink of re-animating extinct species should the U.N. regulate resurrection — decide which ones may stalk the Earth again? What if they don’t re-populate the woolly mammoths and giant ground sloths, but also extinct microbes and bacteria? Bill Whittle Now is a production of the Members at http://BillWhittle.com

Why SpaceX’s Starship will fall like a skydiver and not fly like an airplane

Ever since SpaceX tweeted this photo on September 13th, 2018, a lot of people fear the BFR is slowly turning into the space shuttle. Quoting ever growing wings and a giant heat shield covering the belly of the ship… so how is this any different than the Space Shuttle? Today we’ll to cover three topics. First, we’ll compare the reentry of the space shuttle to the reentry of the BFS and show how they differ. Then we’ll explain what control surfaces allow the BFS to perform this reentry, and then we’ll compare the thermal protection systems of the Shuttle and the BFS.

(Almost) Every SpaceX Landing, In Order, A few years old but interesting

This is a video of every SpaceX landing or landing attempt of which a video was taken. I tried to edit it down as much as possible but it still ended up pretty long, mainly due to including Grasshopper and F9R flights (I didn’t feel I could use the word “every” if I didn’t). I made this because I couldn’t find any such compilations on Youtube. Most videos are from SpaceX’s Youtube Channel. Thanks for watching and thanks to SpaceX for all the excitement. Here is the full list of all launches that I used as my notes while putting this together: 1. 9-21-2012 Grasshopper Hop 2. 11-01-2012 Grasshopper 2 story 3. 12-17-2012 Grasshopper 12 story 4. 03-07-2013 Grasshopper 24 story 5. 04-17-2012 Grasshopper 250m 6. 06-14-2013 Grasshopper 325m Full Precision Sensor Suite 7. 08-13-2013 Grasshopper 250m, 100m Lateral Divert 8x. 09-29-2013 Falcon 9 Cassiope, Failure, Aerodynamically unstable, video of reentry burn here: https://youtu.be/RtDbDMRG3q8?t=128 9. 10-07-2013 Grasshopper 744m Final Flight 10. 04-17-2014 Falcon 9R 250m 11x. 04-18-2014 Falcon 9 CRS-3 Ocean Landing, Link to vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjZ33… 12. 05-01-2014 Falcon 9R 1000m 13. 06-17-2014 Falcon 9R 1000m Grid Fins 14. 07-14-2014 Falcon 9 Orbcomm-1 Ocean Landing 15x. 08-01-2014 Falcon 9R ???

May 5 (Bloomberg) — Bloomberg’s “The Next Space Race” is a journey through the booming business of space exploration. The International Space Station is a near zero-gravity laboratory dedicated to scientific research. The end of NASA’s shuttle program in 2011 left the world with only one way to get there, buy a seat from the Russians. NASA is holding a competition challenging private enterprise to build America’s next spacecraft. Boeing, SpaceX, and Sierra Nevada are all multi-billion dollar aerospace companies competing to win the NASA contract that could cement dominance in the emerging space industry. Bloomberg gets rare access to these space pioneers, including a tour of SpaceX with CEO Elon Musk.

Why Single Stage to Orbit rockets SUCK. The wacky history and future maybes of SSTOs


Published on May 14, 2018

SUBSCRIBE 266K
Rockets are HUGE, complicated and expensive. As a matter of fact, the rocket that took humans to the moon, the Saturn 5, was 111 meters or 363 feet tall, and had more separation events than dating teenagers. So why do rockets always split themselves into multiple parts. Isn’t that complicated and risky? Why throw so much away? I mean, there’s got to be a better way!!! Well how about if rockets were only ONE stage? How awesome would that be? Well this idea isn’t new… it’s called single stage to orbit or SSTO and it’s often considered the holy grail of rocketry. Well, today, I’m going to SMASH THAT HOLY GRAIL and explain why I think SSTO’s SUCK. In order to drill this point in we’ll teach you all about the tyranny of the rocket equation and help you understand why every orbital rocket, well, ever is multistage. Then we’ll take a stroll down SSTO history and look at some crazy designs that in some cases almost worked… And not to be a huge downer, we will take a look at some SSTO designs that MIGHT actually work, including the Skylon spaceplane that uses the awesome SABRE hybrid engine.

Buran-Energia : The Soviet Space Shuttle 2.0 on a Moon Rocket

If you thought the Buran, the Soviet space shuttle was just a copy of the US one, then think again. Although it looked very similar, under the hood it was very different and in many ways better than the US original.
