I like learning how incompetent modern rocketiering is

it is funny
ULA is essentially bankrupt rn
(United Launch Alliance)
before SpaceX, they were the only real game in town
but they suck
NASA is a train wreck too
everyone is, Space is super profitable now
Spooky hear me out
no one is doing launch though
zero profit, only risk
billion dollar idea in venture capital
first fully AI designed and launched rocket
chat GPT is the pilot
Use AI to predict how the flight will go to claim it is safe
So Pika, idk if you'll appreciate this
but orbit control systems are super easy
an AI could totally do it
I could believe it
A lot of control is done with real time machine learning now adays anyways
At least a lot of modern control research is
it turns out inertia and predictable gravity is really easy to deal with
I literally have been forced to do orbit control on paper on a test I am pretty sure
at least parts of it
it's called "attitude"
and literally every freshman ever
fucks it up and thinks the prof meant to write altitude
I was going to look up the term, but I think I will just a spider instead
so, god news for Boeing
they didn't fuel the rocket
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I was going to look up the term, but I think I will just a spider instead
lol
Its okay
it was hidden
now it's really hidden
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 they didn't fuel the rocket
if you load fuel and then have to dump, the process to revalidate the rocket become WAY harder
same reason that the longer the rocket sits on the pad, the worse the outlook for it becomes
an engineering scrub should be 1-2 years
2nd stage rocket valve impacted during mating per TM
yeah, if that's true
this would have blown up
that's something that could be shoddily fixed in a couple weeks, but full re-validation will be 2-3 months min
they spent more time on this
than they probably did on many critical safety features

ngl if i had the chance id fuck the shit out of billie eilish
She looks like parts of her will smell very bad
No sane person cares about ass
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak She looks like parts of her will smell very bad
i dont care
ass is not attractive
It just needs to not be concave
why did I read "she has big ass tits" as "she has a big ass"
my apologies mini
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 2nd stage rocket valve impacted during mating per TM
This has been confirmed
"chattering valve"
It was not immediately clear when Boeing and rocket-builder United Launch Alliance might be able to make another attempt, but engineers will first have to figure out what caused an oxygen relief valve in the rocket’s Centaur upper stage to “chatter” during the late stages of fueling and what might be required to fix it. If the valve has to be replaced, ULA might have to roll the rocket back to its processing facility for repairs.
So, I looked this up a bit
this is a semi-new varient of the Atlas 5 rocket
