    The Vehicle Assembly Building is incredible. You see the crane lifting the massive first stage vertically and it's nowhere near as tall as the building.
    Its bay doors are the largest of any building in the world, they're over 450 feet tall!

      @@SP-dw9gi SpaceX's tower is 469 feet tall, the VAB is taller at 526 feet. "Mechazilla" is not the largest single-story building in the world, does not have doors, was not constructed in the 1960's, and hasn't assembled vehicles that went to the moon. Whatever "better job" they do is on a vehicle that's never flown powered by engines that have never reached orbit. Wait, what was your point again?

      ​ @Desmond Hawkins The point is that SpaceX doing bigger and reusable rocket with capacity of 3 launches per day (SLS just 1 launch in year!) at much lower costs, without huge and massive expensive buildings. You right, obviously in terms of building size, NASA doing amazing (although very, very expensive) job back then and now.
      By the way, Starship already flown using ENGINES, although not orbital flight yet but that would be done already too if not FAA.

      @@pavnazwisko9196 Yes, it'll be amazing when it happens. I'm just not sure what the point is of coming in to a comment thread that's completely unrelated to SpaceX with some cult-like fanboyism, putting down everything that's not SpaceX and all-knowing Elon. The only point I was making was that the VAB is a massive building. Their tower is not a building, it doesn't have these massive doors, and it's literally under construction. Reserve the praise for actual achievements is what I'm saying, not shiny promises - however exciting and worthwhile they may be.

    • @rjpx947
      @rjpx947 2 роки тому +4

      Well, that multi-floor infrastructure let you build something huge and protected from the elements. The VAB is modular; they can extend floor sections out around a stacked rocket so the tech and engineers can be right there, and on the level they need to be. If you're going to fly something the size of a Saturn V, which is what the Artemis SLS is, this is how you do it best. And for the record, this beast is going to thunder when they send it up. I was an itty-bitty kid when they last flew a Saturn V, with no living memory of them launching...seeing one of these things go up will be special.

      As majestic as the SLS stacking looks, it is an obsolete launch vehicle before it was put together. A heavy-lift vehicle, put together awkwardly with shuttle-era components, using expensive and reusable RS-25 engines for a non-reusable mission. At most, it would launch two per year, and at this rate, it can't put a colony on the Moon.
      The competition is Starship, a fully and rapidly reusable rocket theoretically capable of three launches per day. And even though it is a much more sophisticated vehicle, it is cheaper than SLS and is produced at a faster rate.

    In the interests of scientific endeavor and exploration, for one god damn minute, let cooler heads prevail.

    Let's remember why humanity is doing this. Let's have the courage to go boldly into the future. Let's secure our place among the stars. Let's entice the universe to give way to our human curiosity. Let's never give up when the odds seem staked against us. Let's give our great great grandchildren something to look back on and feel a small measure of pride for having the tenacity to see humanity through to the other side of The Great Filter which lays ahead of us.
    Remember all of this, the next time somebody with a small minded agenda tries to convince you that you should be small too. I beg of you.

On the other hand, we do.

More and more people following the dream of making life multi-planetary, a goal that cannot be achieved by the likes of SLS. For the idiots believing space exploration is pointless? They probably also think Earth is a flat disk on a giant turtle, their opinions don't matter.
      During the Apollo era, the %GDP spent on the space program is far higher than today. Back then, progress is made every day, pushed by a burning desire to reach the heavens above. With the same amount of time to piece together the SLS, the NASA 60 years went from sub-orbital flights to footprints on the moon.

      ​@@RB-jv6un Some stats for you to reference. The Iraq war cost roughly $2 trillion dollars. That's enough money to have funded the Apollo program (with all of the R&D, launches, etc.) 8 times (adjusted for inflation too). NASA has been woefully underfunded for many, many years. Whenever a politician, left or right, comes into office, the first thing they cut is things like NASA over say the inflated military budget. This causes NASA to make hard choices in choosing what programs to fund in the small budget they have. That means sometimes canceling programs or otherwise delaying or even halting it, which makes restarting the initiatives more expensive in the process.
      but I don't expect you or this thread's OP, the worm-brained QAnon guy, to ever make this simple cause-effect connection on _why_ NASA is slow at producing things.

      ​@@MrGriff305 There's a significant difference between Boeing, Northop Grumman, and United Launch Alliance's entire rocket businesses being dependent on having government contracts (which were all until recently cost plus, which incentivized cost and schedule overruns), and SpaceX being a self-sustaining business focused primarily on serving private customers which also wins government fixed price contracts (which disincentivize cost and schedule overruns).
      ------
      Though it's not really a related issue, regarding your claim that "SpaceX rockets explode on a regular basis": Falcon 9's are very reliable rockets. They have failed to reach orbit twice, the second instance of which occurred in 2016. The rocket design has been improved numerous times since then, and the last 110 launches have all successfully reached orbit.
      Their in-development next generation Starship rocket _does_ explode a lot of course, but that's an intended and expected result of their rapid-iteration "fail faster" development philosophy. They could take more time to make sure that it didn't ever blow up during testing (as NASA and its contractors did with the SLS, and Blue Origin is doing with their New Glenn rocket), but that would significantly increase the amount of time it takes for them to develop the rocket. It's faster to launch it, see what fails, fix that, and immediately launch another one to see what other issues might need to be fixed. Regarding SpaceX's rocket development, Musk said "Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating fast enough."
