Rogozin and Musk argued about competition in space

114

The head of the Russian state-owned corporation Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, and the head of SpaceX, a private American company, Ilon Musk, exchanged critical attacks on Twitter accounts regarding competition in launching missiles. This happened after April 10, 2020, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting in Novo-Ogaryovo in the form of a video conference on the development of the rocket and space industry.

At the meeting, the Russian leader pointed out that "Russia must strengthen its position in the global launch services market." He emphasized that “it is imperative that our withdrawal products remain competitive and in demand.”



Rogozin replied to the president’s words that Roskosmos would reduce launch services prices by more than 30% due to dumping policyconducted by SpaceX, an American company led by Musk, with support from NASA.

The pricing procedure we proposed is, in fact, our response to dumping from US companies funded by the US budget, and if the market launch price, for example, at SpaceX is about $ 60 million, then NASA pays one and a half for the same service up to four times more

- said Rogozin.

Musk was indignant and wrote that the problem of Russian missiles is their disposability, since they cannot be reused.

SpaceX rockets are 80% reusable, their (Russians - ed.) - 0%. This is an urgent problem.

- clarified Musk.

In response, Rogozin wrote that he did not need instructions from Washington.

All instructions for resolving problematic issues in our rocket and space industry were received during a meeting with the President of Russia

- Rogozin informed.

After that, already in a separate tweet, Rogozin added that the words of the Mask are cynicism and hypocrisy. The head of Roscosmos believes that Americans use sanctions and dumping because of fear of fair competition.

And when they are asked about the real price of the launch service, they blush and instead of answering try to cast a shadow on the fence

- summed up Rogozin.

    It seems to me that a lot more people are tired of Rogozin than Putin - it’s just time to clean up.

    Musk was indignant and wrote that the problem of Russian missiles is their disposability, since they cannot be reused.

    But Rogozin did not refute the "inventions" about dumping, subsidies and funding from the budget, I think so, in this case Rogozin is right. It is far from the fact that reusable rockets are cheaper, this issue must be delved into.
    I suggest that Rogozin and Mask meet in a full-time match and settle all differences. Yes
    The live broadcast will collect a lot of views. laughing

        He stopped financing from the budget?

          SpaceX was financed from the budget only once - when they won the competition (on a competitive basis, by the way) for the creation of the spacecraft and spacecraft for the delivery of goods and people to the ISS.

          And the payment by the state of launches under state programs (for NASA or for the military) is precisely payment for services, not "state funding."

            As already tired of it, every time another "city madman" appears and begins to tell fairy tales. sad

            This is not the first time that SpaceX and the Department of Defense have joined forces. The company has launched a number of DoD payloads into orbit. In particular, in early 2018, he launched a secret experimental spacecraft called Zuma.

            And the payment by the state of launches under state programs (for NASA or for the military) is precisely payment for services, not "state funding."

            Of course of course, Yes and Roscosmos is not financed from our budget, it just receives payment for services winked

              This is not the first time that SpaceX and the Department of Defense have joined forces.

              - and? The Ministry of Defense ordered the launch of its satellite, SpaceX fulfilled the order for money. Where are the "subsidies" here?

              Do you even understand what the word "subsidies" means? No? Well, take the trouble to find out first.

              As already tired of it, every time another "city madman" appears and begins to tell fairy tales.

              - really. Another lunatic claiming dumping and state financing.

              and Roscosmos is not financed from our budget, it simply receives payment for services.

              - the fact of the matter is that it is financed from the budget. In particular, it was the state that paid off the debts of the head developer of Roskosmos, the Center. Khrunichev when he was on the verge of bankruptcy. That is, this money went not to pay for the services performed, but to support the enterprise itself, so that it does not finally go bankrupt.

              Once again, for those in an armored train. Payment for the execution of a state order and payment for the very existence of an enterprise are two radically different things.

                Try to make an effort over yourself and perceive the information without a "filter", even if it comes from Rogozin, hated by you.

                and if the market launch price, for example, of SpaceX is about $ 60 million, then NASA pays for the same service from one and a half to four times more

                It is an honor to date. Without it, launches at a price of 60 million are unrealistic. Why not NASA pay for launches at market prices?

                Do you even understand what the word "subsidies" means? No? Well, take the trouble to find out first.

                Subsidy - State allowance for enterprises, organizations to cover some n. expenses. Will this definition suit you? If this is not subsidies, then what? Fraud and embezzlement of public funds? Or is the donation only if “DOTATION” is written in big capital letters? Do you want to "check or go"? The definition did not suit you? Offer yours. How can you formulate the essence of what is happening?

                "As it is already tired, every time another" city madman "appears and begins to tell fairy tales" - indeed. Another madman claiming dumping and government funding.

                I gave you a link where it is written in black and white in the American edition, the representative of the Air Force claims that SpaceX and the Ministry of Defense are not cooperating for the first time. It is about using satellites for military purposes. Do you think that in such cases the financing comes from the company?
                But you persistently repeat, this is an isolated case. I don’t see any further delving into projects, I’m tired of looking for all these links every time.

                In particular, it was the state that paid off the debts of the head developer of Roskosmos, the Center. Khrunichev when he was on the verge of bankruptcy. That is, this money went not to pay for the services performed, but to support the enterprise itself, so that it does not finally go bankrupt.

                Are enterprise support measures sporadic? Remember how many disturbances were there in Deripaska? But the state cannot help Roskosmos? These are still different things. Or is GAZ also state?
                In addition, if you have not noticed the irony, yes, the state finances Roscosmos, and the American finances SpaceX. Without government orders and overpriced payments, the enterprise is not viable.

                Once again, for those in an armored train. Payment for the execution of a state order and payment for the very existence of an enterprise are two radically different things.

                True? What are the cardinal differences? Do you think that if the state transfers Roscosmos shares to private hands, but transfers orders to it and pays at inflated prices so that the company remains profitable, will this change anything?

                  It is an honor to date. Without it, launches at a price of 60 million are unrealistic. Why not NASA pay for launches at market prices?

                  - because the price that NASA pays is the market price.

                  Unlike private customers, NASA and the Department of Defense are placing higher demands on launch safety and conducting additional certification of launch vehicles. This, of course, also requires money. Therefore, launches under state programs are more expensive.

                  In addition, the majority of launches for NASA SpaceX performs under the ISS supply program. That is, in addition to the cost of the launches themselves, it pays for the cost of the Dragon cargo ship, which also makes and prepares for SpaceX flights. Plus additional certification. Due to this, naturally, the cost of launches for NASA is increasing.

                  Grant - State allowance to enterprises, organizations to cover any expenses.

                  - as I said, you did not even bother to read what a subsidy is.
                  Since you are not able to find a normal definition yourself, I will help you:

                  Grant (from lat. Dotatio - gift, donation):

                  In Russian legislation - intergovernmental transfers provided by on a gratuitous and irrevocable basis without establishing directions and (or) conditions for their use [1].
                  Funds allocated from state and local budgets for financial support unprofitable enterprisesfor which the cash proceeds from the sale of the product being produced are less than the costs of producing and selling the product, to lower budgets to bridge the gap between their income and expenses [2].

                  The state allocates money to SpaceX exclusively to pay for the services that this state ordered from SpaceX. Do you feel the difference, don’t you?

                  I gave you a link where it is written in black and white in the American edition, the representative of the Air Force claims that SpaceX and the Ministry of Defense are not cooperating for the first time. It is about using satellites for military purposes. Do you think that in such cases the financing comes from the company?

                  Where did I write that the company performs this launch at its own expense? She performs it at the expense of the customer. In this case, the state. Launches for private companies are also paid not by SpaceX itself, but by these very private companies. What is incomprehensible here?

                  The only launches paid by SpaceX itself are launches by own Starlink program.

                  Are enterprise support measures sporadic?

                  - I gave you this example as an illustration of the word "subsidies". The state is taking exactly the same measures in relation to all companies that are part of the structure of Roscosmos. That is, it not only pays for the orders they have completed, but also supports those moments when these enterprises are unprofitable. This is what is called subsidies. What I'm trying to explain to you, damn it.

                  Without government orders and overpriced payments, the enterprise is not viable.

                  - did you audit SpaceX to confirm this? Do you have insider information about the financial condition of the company? Can you present?

                  True? What are the cardinal differences?

                  - The fundamental difference is that now the state pays to the enterprises of Roscosmos even if these same enterprises do not fulfill any orders. It pays them just to exist. That is why I cited as an example the situation with the Khrunichev Center as an illustration of how the cooperation of the state with SpaceX differs from the state support of Roscosmos enterprises.

                    - because the price that NASA pays is the market price.

                    Let us assume, therefore, that "commercial" launches are carried out at reduced prices - this is dumping, which is what they say. Yes

                    Unlike private customers, NASA and the Department of Defense are placing higher demands on launch safety and conducting additional certification of launch vehicles. This, of course, also requires money. Therefore, launches under state programs are more expensive.

                    It turns out that in Russia the same requirements are imposed on all launches, and SpaceX "saves" on the reliability of commercial satellites? They are not cheap either, their loss is expensive, therefore, insurance will be more expensive.

                    The state allocates money to SpaceX exclusively to pay for the services that this state ordered from SpaceX. Do you feel the difference, don’t you?

                    That's right, because the owner of SpaceX is not a state, Roscosmos belongs to the state. Could it be different? Do you think the American option is more cost-effective? Remove hidden subsidies and see what SpaceX is worth. How much did the company realize space projects on its own, without state participation, and how much did it bring profit?

                    Where did I write that the company performs this launch at its own expense? She performs it at the expense of the customer. In this case, the state. Launches for private companies are also paid not by SpaceX itself, but by these very private companies. What is incomprehensible here?

                    I do not see a fundamental difference. We allocate funds to our company, in the US private, except for the form of ownership, what are the differences?

                    The state is taking exactly the same measures in relation to all companies that are part of the structure of Roscosmos. That is, it not only pays for the orders they have completed, but also supports those moments when these enterprises are unprofitable. This is what is called subsidies. What I'm trying to explain to you, damn it.

                    Yes, it does. And the USA supports SpaceX, is the situation unique? So do all states who can afford it. Remember the debate, who receives more government support - Boeing or Airbus? Tell you how agriculture exists in the EU? Or how much money was poured into banks during the crisis?
                    State support for enterprises, both public and private, is a global practice, it works everywhere, but do you want Roscosmos to work differently?

                    Where did I write that the company performs this launch at its own expense? She performs it at the expense of the customer. In this case, the state. Launches for private companies are also paid not by SpaceX itself, but by these very private companies. What is incomprehensible here?

                    I don't see any fundamental difference. What difference does it make to who owns the enterprise? In any case, to produce the same product, you need to spend a comparable amount. From the fact that another owner is written in the constituent documents, the cost price will not change. The state spends money on the maintenance of the company, the private owner "takes his" from the cost. If you are going to compare SpaceX and Roscosmos, then this is wrong. Roskosmos performs the same functions as NASA, how is it profitable? Essentially, SpaceX is a "cooperative" in a large enterprise.

                    Without government orders and overpriced payments, the enterprise is not viable.

                    - did you audit SpaceX to confirm this? Do you have insider information about the financial condition of the company? Can you present?

                    I have no inside information. Can you argue that the company can do something without a "state order"? What lucrative project have they implemented?

                    the cardinal difference is that now the state pays Roscosmos enterprises even if these same enterprises do not fulfill any orders.

                    And there is a situation when Roskosmos does nothing at all? It's pretty strange to have such a company and not load it with orders. Could you name the period when Roskosmos was "on vacation"?

                      SpaceX does not save on commercial customers. The company provides them with exactly the level of services that these customers require. The state requires more, commercial customers require less.

                      It turns out that in Russia the same requirements are imposed on all launches

                      - who told you that?

                      How much did the company realize space projects on its own, without state participation, and how much did it bring profit?

                      Yes Easy. The company itself, for its money, developed the super-heavy PH Falcon Heavy. She also organized the first launch of 4 with her own money.
                      The company itself ensures the creation of Starlink system satellites and their launch into orbit - currently, 240 satellites have already been launched into orbit under this program.
                      The company itself ensures the construction of its own cosmodrome in Boca Chica, and itself ensures the creation of prototypes of its new starship spacecraft.
                      And all this without any help from the state. Now the question is: where would the company have money for all this if it was unprofitable?

                      - The fact of the matter is that the state does not support the very existence of SpaceX, it pays for the execution of orders. The state does not give the company money simply to pay off its debts.

                      Can you argue that the company can do something without a "state order"? What lucrative project have they implemented?

                      - The above has already given examples. This is all without state support. A non-profit company simply would not have money for this.

                      - not about Roscosmos, but the Khrunichev Center. And yet, yes, there were periods when he did nothing - that is why he got into debt, which the state repaid.

The higher the requirements of the customer, the more he requires additional checks - the higher the cost for him. This is market pricing.

                        Market pricing is the process of estimating the amount of payment at market rates for comparable jobs. In this case, the price is determined by the customer's requirements, it has nothing to do with market pricing. With whom was payment at market rates compared? They simply supported the "domestic manufacturer". As soon as a rocket appeared with a not prohibitive cost, all launches were transferred to it, the series increased, and the price decreased accordingly, hence the decrease in the number of launches at Roscosmos.

                        SpaceX does not save on commercial customers. The company provides them with exactly the level of services that these customers require. The state requires more, commercial customers require less.

                        Only all US orders automatically went over to the Mask. I also think they used the "financial leverage", it would be interesting to look at the financial condition of the company, for sure, there is a decent debt load. I also doubt that Rogozin himself complicates the requirements for commercial launches. This should not affect the price. When comparing commercial launches, the price can be influenced by the batch size, the more launches, the cheaper.

                        Yes Easy. The company itself, for its money, developed the super-heavy PH Falcon Heavy. She also organized the first launch of 4 with her own money.
                        The company itself ensures the creation of Starlink system satellites and their launch into orbit - currently, 240 satellites have already been launched into orbit under this program.

                        And all this without any help from the state.

                        Let me remind you a question:

                        How many companies have implemented space projects themselves, without state participation and how much did it bring profit? [

                        How much profit did it bring?

                        Now the question is: where would the company have money for all this if it was unprofitable?

                        Good question good Loans, many low interest loans and subsidies. laughing "Hidden subsidies" if you like.
                        You gave a link there to an article -

                        https://habr.com/ru/post/425347/

                        - it indicates 67 launches.

                        The space company SpaceX appeared in 2002 and so far has completed 67 rocket launches of its own design and production. Of these, medium and heavy classes are 62 pieces. Customers are the US space agency NASA, the Pentagon, commercial and government companies and agencies of other countries.

                        I looked at who the customers are, NASA is almost every third launch, even in the USAF list, that is, the Air Force, NOAA structure from the Department of Commerce, NRO space reconnaissance, these launches can hardly be called commercial. In fact, almost half, maybe a little less, is a government order with "market prices", this is the whole secret of success in the market.

                        - The above has already given examples. This is all without state support. A non-profit company simply would not have money for this.

                        Take away the government order and there is no profit. Has the Boca Chica cosmodrome already paid off and is making a profit? Has it become profitable right from the start of construction? What about Starship? Are you seriously? Such investments have already paid off? In one flight? You are funny in your blind faith. laughing

                        - not about Roscosmos, but the Khrunichev Center. And yet, yes, there were periods when he did nothing - that is why he got into debt, which the state repaid.

                        If one of the divisions of the company is temporarily not working, this does not mean that the whole company is standing. By the way, the construction of the same cosmodrome in Boca Chica was suspended. Does this bother you?

                        Market pricing is the process of assessing the size of payment at market rates for comparable jobs. In this case, the price is determined by the requirements made by the customer, this has nothing to do with market pricing. Who compared payment at market rates?

                        So for the state customer, the price would be exactly the same as for the commercial one, if the requirements were the same. Well, what is there to understand? The state makes great demands - which means it pays more. This is precisely market pricing.

                        If you still do not understand, I will explain with a simple example.

                        Suppose you produce and sell shovels. The main model consists of a steel sheet and a simple straight handle made of pine. Most of your customers have enough. The price for such a shovel is 100 r (for example). This is its market price.

                        And here you are approached by one customer who needs the same shovel, but with a slightly modified, more ergonomic handle shape. This will require additional work from you. Naturally, its price is also increasing compared to the main model. And this will also be its market price.

                        Only all US orders automatically crossed the Mask

                        - nonsense. The company has been seeking orders from the Ministry of Defense for military launches for 2 years. They were only given access to military launches in 2017 and only after Musk sued the Defense Department over the military giving all of its orders to ULA at much higher prices. There was no "automatic translation".

                        it would be interesting to look at the financial condition of the company, for sure there is a decent debt load.

                        - when you present evidence of this, then you will affirm it. Without specific data, this is just your speculation.

                        I also doubt that Rogozin himself complicates the requirements for commercial launches. This should not affect the price. When comparing commercial launches, the price may be affected by the size of the series, the more launches the cheaper.

                        But for some reason, the price of "Protons" was reduced from 100 million to 65 million just at the time when these missiles began to be produced less. Which goes against your claim.

                        Good question. good Loans, many loans with low interest rates and subsidies. laughing "hidden subsidies" if you like.

                        Do you have any documents proving that SpaceX took loans from the state?

                        I looked at who the customers were, NASA almost every third launch, still on the USAF list, that is, the Air Force, NOAA structure from the Ministry of Commerce, NRO space intelligence, these launches can hardly be called commercial.

                        Well, let's take a closer look.

                        So, today (April 2020), the total number of Falcon-9 launches was 81. Of these:
                        - according to the ISS supply program - 20;
                        - for NRO (American intelligence) - 1 launch;
                        - for USAF (US Air Force) - 2 launches;
                        - for NRL (laboratory as part of the US Navy) - 1 (moreover, it was concomitant
                        load in one of the flights under the ISS supply program);
                        - 2 more launches of research satellites for NASA, NOAA, USAF;
                        - 1 launch in the interests of NASA (tess telescope);
                        - 1 more launch for NASA (GRACE satellite), moreover, as an additional
                        load at launch with commercial Iridium.
                        - and a test launch of the Crew Dragon manned spacecraft for NASA.

                        Total, count. Only 28 government launches out of 81. And this is not counting the fact that some of these loads were joint or additional in commercial launches. But we will simplify and calculate that there was a separate launch for each state satellite. It turns out 28 state out of 81. The remaining 53 - in the interests of third-party customers. 53 is almost 2 times more than 28.

                        From the article on Habré, which I sent you, we found out that the average cost of state launches is 87-90 million dollars.

                        You do not need to be a brilliant mathematician to understand that government orders are not the main source of funding for SpaceX.

                        About shovels are entertaining, only I can compare, where is the price better, maybe there were some contests? Yet the market seems to be? Not?

                        - nonsense. The company has been seeking orders from the Ministry of Defense for military launches for 2 years. They were only given access to military launches in 2017 and only after Musk sued the Defense Department over the military giving all of its orders to ULA at much higher prices. There was no "automatic translation".

                        You see my word military orders? I look, you are serious about launch information, try to highlight the share of American companies in the total number of customers. There, of course, sometimes the French meet others, but mostly their own. As soon as the rocket arrived, all orders were dragged home.

                        But for some reason, the price of "Protons" was reduced from 100 million to 65 million just at the time when these missiles began to be produced less. What goes against your claim

                        The price was reduced for another reason, it was pulled up earlier and in the absence of competition three skins were torn. An alternative appeared and the price naturally fell.

                        Do you have any documents proving that SpaceX took loans from the state?

                        You will probably be surprised, but I don’t even have documents confirming that SpaceX exists at all. request In addition, why exactly the state? There the system is arranged somewhat differently. I’m not going to prove anything to you, you asked - where did the money come from? I told you where it might come from. Do you have other options? You think cocaine is being trafficked?

                        Well, let's take a closer look.

                        Let's. Yes It looks beautiful, you can see that they tried to write. good Only in vain, in the end it turns out, the same data, every third launch of the state order. Add to it orders from American companies "supporting domestic producers", hence the large series and the entire "commercial success" itself.

                        From the article on Habré, which I sent you, we found out that the average cost of state launches is 87-90 million dollars.

                        You found out. I see no reason to dispute this figure. Even if it is correct, what does it say? "State order" is still more expensive. If we attribute everything to "other requirements", the question arises, how reasonable are they? The rocket is the same, that they check it five times before launch? Therefore more expensive?

                        You do not need to be a brilliant mathematician to understand that government orders are not the main source of funding for SpaceX.

                        An interesting statement. Yes Loans?

                        So NASA has admitted SpaceX to the ISS supply program just on a market basis. You can read on Wikipedia about the COTS program - which companies participated, what technologies were offered, etc.

                        I look, you are serious about launch information, try to highlight the share of American companies in the total number of customers. There, of course, sometimes the French meet others, but mostly their. As soon as the rocket arrived, all orders were dragged home.

                        Specially highlighted in bold. For it is ridiculous.

                        Of the SpaceX commercial customers, the United States are:

                        - Orbcomm - 3 launches;
                        - Iridium - 8 launches;
                        - Spaceflight Industries - 1 launch.
                        - Nortrop Grumman - 1 launch;
                        - Echostar Corporation - 1 launch.

                        Summarize - it turns out - oh, horror, how many! - as many as 14 launches out of 53.

                        If for you 14 out of 53 are "mostly your own", then I don't know ... In the first grade you need to learn arithmetic again. In reality, this is slightly more than 1/4 of the total number of commercial launches.

                        The price was reduced for another reason, it was pulled up earlier and in the absence of competition three skins were torn. An alternative appeared and the price naturally fell.

                        - and after that, the Proton manufacturer started having problems.

                        In addition, why exactly the state?

                        - because we are talking about public funding.

                        I’m not going to prove anything to you, you asked - where did the money come from? I told you where it might come from. Do you have other options? You think cocaine is being trafficked?

                        Of course, it’s hard for me to prove something, because apart from your speculations, you have no evidence. And about other options - a great many. Private investors, profit from startups.

                        You found out. I see no reason to dispute this figure. Even if it is correct, what does it say? "State order" is still more expensive.

                        More expensive, but not by much. Only one and a half times.

                        If we write off everything on "other requirements", the question arises - to what extent are they justified? The rocket is the same, that they check it five times before launch? Therefore more expensive?

                        Exactly. Launches under the state program undergo additional certification. Because the load in these satellites is created on state money, reporting on which is much, much stricter than that of private traders.

                        An interesting statement. yes Loans?

                        - if loans - so what? We are talking about state financing, to which loans taken from banks do not apply.

                        Well, yes, if we had a competition, Roskosmos would probably be the winner. Did they have real competitors? Rocketplane Kistler eventually dropped out of the competition. There is little information on how it looked, old, of course, but you never know, it will suddenly be interesting.

                        In reality, this is slightly more than 1/4 of the total number of commercial launches.

                        It is not enough? Add another 1/3 of the "state order" launches, for a total of 55-60% of the company's load.

                        - and after that, the Proton manufacturer started having problems.

                        Why not? Production needs a series, if it is not there, problems begin.

                        - because we are talking about public funding.

                        The USA has a different system, all injections go through private banks.
                        If you mean that all the troubles come from state-owned companies, trust everything to private owners and production will flourish, then this is not so. For example, there is such a company Westinghouse.

                        Of course, it’s hard for me to prove something, because apart from your speculations, you have no evidence. And about other options - a great many. Private investors, profit from startups.

                        In terms of evidence, we are not very different. laughing Private investors need to make a profit, or is it a pyramid like shale workers. I do not see huge profits, in any case, sufficient to recoup all expenses.

                        More expensive, but not by much. Only one and a half times.

                        In my opinion, this is not enough. In the store you will see the same thing on different counters with such a difference in price, the toad will not strangle more expensive to buy? Unless, of course, your money, and not government money. laughing

                        Exactly. Launches under the state program undergo additional certification. Because the load in these satellites is created on state money, reporting on which is much, much stricter than that of private traders.

                        Do you mean certification, like in aviation? So it is not for each aircraft individually do.

                        even if loans - so what? We are talking about state financing, to which loans taken from banks do not apply.

                        Than state. Is financing worse than money passed through private banks? Do they have a halo of holiness? In fact, this is a different financial system. Each company takes advantage of the existing one. In the US, everything is endlessly poured with money, the financial system allows. Roscosmos will not take money at such a low percentage. Companies initially have different starting conditions. Compensate differently. Or do you think it would be better if Roskomos is bent, because in the USA the interest on loans is less?

                        SpaceX rivals in the COTS program were Orbital ATK - a company that at that time had much more experience in aerospace. Other participants were not so eminent, but SpaceX itself in 2006 had only 4 launches of the ultra-light Falcon-1 rocket, of which only 2 were successful. So the competition was more than fair.

                        Regarding your link - it just clearly shows that no one gave SpaceX any concessions and does not. The company had to go through litigation in order to gain equal access to government orders.

                        Firstly, 1/4 launches for US commercial companies already refute your thesis that SpaceX's main commercial customers are mostly Americans.

                        Secondly, it does not matter at all, because American companies are exactly the same customers as any others. And the prices for them are exactly the same as for everyone else.

                        Why not? Production needs a series, if it is not there, problems begin.

                        Right. And the Khrunichev Center lost orders because even having reduced the cost of Proton to $ 65 million, he still could not compete with Musk. And not only could not keep the market, but also got into debt.

                        The USA has a different system, all injections go through private banks.

Other participants were not so eminent, but SpaceX itself in 2006 had only 4 launches of the ultra-light Falcon-1 rocket, of which only 2 were successful. So the competition was more than fair.

                        I’m not familiar with the activities of Orbital ATK, I looked at the assets of the Pegasus cruise missile, the Minotaur carrier rocket (the Minutman conversion version. Antares appeared later in 2012, at the time of the COTS competition in 2006 there was no rocket yet. That is all, that the company was able to get the Miniment from the mine, remove the warhead from it, put the satellite in and launch. To be honest, it’s not impressive, SpaceX already had a ready-made flying rocket. The choice is obvious.

                        Regarding your link - it just clearly shows that no one gave SpaceX any concessions and does not. The company had to go through litigation in order to gain equal access to government orders.

                        Of course not, but there is other interesting information.

                        In addition, there is a contract EELV Launch Capability (ELC), in which ULA receives $ 860 million dollars annually, to provide access to space, even if there were no starts. In addition, ULA received a total of $ 5 billion in other expenses related to equipment for the production of rockets.

                        Everything as you like, remember the idle center to them. Khrunicheva? It turns out that you do not like it here, quietly existed in the United States. They received money even without launches, and even 5 billion from the noble shoulder.

                        For example, 14 months ago, the U.S. Air Force signed a contract with SpaceX in the amount of $ 83 million to launch the GPS 3 satellite, and in March 2017 another contract was won to launch another GPS 3 satellite worth $ 96.5 million. This is the full cost of the launch that the government will pay, and it can not be compared with the $ 422 million for a single launch, which is laid down in the budget of the Air Force for 2020.

                        SpaceX has received contracts of $ 83 million and $ 96 million for the launch of GPS satellites. Against the background of 422 million it looks fantastic. This speaks of "reasonable" prices for the government order. How they calculated this amount - no one knows, probably, "certified" more carefully. laughing As far as I understand, the price at which the state order "takes off" is the amount announced by Musk, I would say 200 million, and we would be glad of that, it is half the price anyway. Yes Therefore, to compare with commercial launches can be a stretch. The difference is huge.

                        Firstly, 1/4 launches for US commercial companies already refute your thesis that SpaceX's main commercial customers are mostly Americans.

                        I cannot say that it completely refutes. Together with the "state order", this is more than half of the launches. It turns out a local version of "import substitution", besides, it is necessary to deal with foreign customers, which influenced their choice. Whether "administrative resource" was used. The ships of the Swiss company also escaped practically voluntarily from the construction site of Nord Stream 2.

                        - Well, bring evidence that the state poured into SpaceX through private banks))

                        And through what? There are no others there. All funding is through them.
                        As I understand it, your evidence of the opposite is also not observed on the horizon, as well as an alternative source of funding.

                        - radically different.

                        True? And what? Do you provide evidence? Where are they?

                        - Well, so check your eyesight or something.

                        As I understand it, do you have better vision? So show where is this source of funding? Where are the profitable projects?

                        - in the space sector, certification is stricter, much stricter.

                        Stricter - not stricter, this is secondary. If you mean that the certification is organized as in aviation, then they certify the aircraft and begin to produce it, they do not certify separately for each side. To write off the price difference is strange. If this is not the case, correct, maybe I'm wrong.

                        Because money from private banks is not state financing. And the argument was about that. The rest of the last paragraph is irrelevant in general. Nothing.

                        Do you know state banks in the USA? Or a way to direct them, bypassing the banks?
                        Soar didn’t begin with state financing, but with

                        dumping and state subsidies.

                        This is somewhat different.

                        SpaceX has received contracts of $ 83 million and $ 96 million for the launch of GPS satellites. Against the background of 422 million, it looks fantastic. This speaks of "reasonable" prices for the government order.

                        This suggests that before SpaceX entered the state launch market for the military, ULA was the only company serving the U.S. Air Force. Do you know what a monopoly is? Not? I explain. This is when the market is concentrated in the hands of one company. In this case, it was ULA. Do you know what is characterized by monopoly? Overpricing. This is the law of a market economy. If you are the only contractor, you can raise the start-up prices at least up to a billion - the state will do it. Because he has a lot of money, and there is no one else to do the work.

                        Simply put, this is not Moscow's $ 83-87 million for the launch; it was not the market price, but just $ 160-400 million that ULA demanded for its services as a monopoly. Moreover, how the ULA monopoly secured the payment for "access to space" even if the launches themselves were not carried out.

                        But when Musk seized the right to participate in military orders from the military (that is, destroyed the monopoly), ULA immediately began to design a new Vulcan launch vehicle with return engines in order to somehow compete with Musk. And for Atlas-5 with Delta-4, prices also dropped, although not much.

                        in addition, it is necessary to deal with foreign customers, which influenced their choice. Whether "administrative resource" was used.

                        If an administrative resource was used, then why, after 2015, Protons continued to carry out launches for American and European customers - Eutelsat, Echostar, Nortrop Grumman, OneWeb? Again, there is no logic in your reasoning.

                        And through what? There are no others there. All funding is through them.
                        As I understand it, your evidence of the opposite is also not observed on the horizon, as well as an alternative source of funding.

                        The lack of your loan evidence for SpaceX is my proof of the absence of these loans. The burden of proof lies with the approver. If you claim that these loans exist, you must prove their existence. While there is no such evidence, there are no loans either. In science, they do not prove the absence of God, right?

                        So show where is this source of funding? Where are the profitable projects?

                        The source of financing is the contributions of investors and the Mask himself, as well as the profit received from orders.
                        A profitable project - SpaceX itself and their main direction (launches on Falcon-9)

                        If you mean that certification is organized as in aviation, then they certify the aircraft and begin to produce it, they do not certify separately for each side. To write off the price difference is strange. If this is not the case, correct, maybe I'm wrong.

                        In the space sector for state orders, they certify the entire series and each carrier separately. Because the payload (satellites) are piece and small-scale products, for each of them the launch vehicle is prepared and checked separately.

                        Do you know state banks in the USA? Or a way to send them bypassing banks?

                        Ways of state financing bypassing banks? Of course - you just take and directly allocate money. For example, this is how NASA funded Orbital ATK.
                        By the way, here is Orbital ATK - a perfect example of what happens to a contractor who is completely on government orders. One launch of the Antares rocket for the ISS costs 85 million dollars (moreover, it is a light-class rocket, not a heavy one, like the Falcon-9). That is, at prices they are comparable.
                        Well, Orbital ATK went bankrupt. It was bought (along with debts) by Nortrop Grumman.
                        This proves once again that if the enterprise is unprofitable, continuous state orders will not save it either.

                        Only between Orbital and SpaceX, no one made any choice - both companies entered the program as a result. Moreover, Orbital won in the first round, while SpaceX won only in the second.

                        It could not be otherwise. Two companies - one has a flying rocket, the other has experience in removing warheads and installing satellites in place. "Favorite" is obvious. In which round the laggard dropped out - minor details.

                        This suggests that before SpaceX entered the state launch market for the military, ULA was the only company serving the U.S. Air Force. Do you know what a monopoly is? Not?

                        Trying to give a lecture on monopoly is a bad decision. Just litter the comments. negative

                        Simply put, this is not Moscow's $ 83-87 million for the launch; it was not the market price, but just $ 160-400 million that ULA demanded for its services as a monopoly. Moreover, how the ULA monopoly secured the payment for "access to space" even if the launches themselves were not carried out.

                        What does "Moscow $ 83-87 million for launch" mean is not clear. request
                        If you have that 83-87 million less than the "monopoly" 160-400, then this is true, but how much the price corresponded to reality is a question. If SpaceX was subsequently able to reduce the price to 55 million. It turns out that they simply offered a price lower than the one set by the monopolist, which, in general, was not difficult, the price was clearly exorbitant.

                        But when Musk seized the right to participate in military orders from the military (that is, destroyed the monopoly), ULA immediately began to design a new Vulcan launch vehicle with return engines in order to somehow compete with Musk. And for Atlas-5 with Delta-4, prices also dropped, although not much.

                        How does this information relate to the issue under discussion? Have you decided to shine with erudition?

                        If an administrative resource was used, then why, after 2015, Protons continued to carry out launches for American and European customers - Eutelsat, Echostar, Nortrop Grumman, OneWeb? Again, there is no logic in your reasoning.

                        Long term contracts.

                        The lack of your loan evidence for SpaceX is my proof of the absence of these loans. The burden of proof lies with the approver. If you claim that these loans exist, you must prove their existence. While there is no such evidence, there are no loans either. In science, they do not prove the absence of God, right?

                        Do you want to see a bank statement? Do you think Musk works without loans? If you can confirm this information, I promise to hang a photograph of this financial genius over your bed. laughing
                        I tell you that Musk has no projects that are profitable enough to maintain the break-even level of his companies. The source of funding can be either loans or latent dating coming through an inflated price for the launch of a "government order".

                        In the space sector for state orders, they certify the entire series and each carrier separately. Because the payload (satellites) are piece and small-scale products, for each of them the launch vehicle is prepared and checked separately.

                        Are you seriously? belay And for commercial launches, they simply take any rocket from the warehouse and launch it?
                        Absolutely all missiles are prepared and tested before launch. Yes

                        Ways of state financing bypassing banks? Of course - you just take and directly allocate money. For example, this is how NASA funded Orbital ATK.

                        Did they carry them "cash" in their suitcases, or did they translate them through our Treasury? Are you sure the banks weren't involved at all?

                        By the way, here is Orbital ATK - a perfect example of what happens to a contractor who is completely on government orders.

You felt that this information is irrelevant to the topic, but it is not. This is an illustrative example that refutes your "slim" theory about a "sacred market" where the best survive. Rosatom is doing a little better. Yes Or is the market only for the space industry?

                        This proves once again that if the enterprise is unprofitable, continuous state orders will not save it either.

                        This does not prove anything; you have an erroneous and largely naive idea of ​​market mechanisms in the economy.

                        Trying to lecture on monopoly is a bad decision. Just litter the comments.

                        Obviously, a very good solution, since you do not know how prices are formed in a monopoly and in a competitive environment.

                        It turns out that they simply offered a price lower than that set by the monopolist, which, in general, was not difficult, the price was clearly sky-high.

                        Oh, so now you agree that the launch price set by Mask is a market price? Progress, progress.

                        Long term contracts.

                        So, according to your "administrative resource" logic, they could break the contract with Roscosmos and go to Musk. Moreover, in fact, there were such examples (with the Asiasat satellites). True, these examples are not explained by "administrative resource".

                        Do you want to see a bank statement? Do you think Musk works without loans? If you can confirm this information, I promise to hang a photograph of this financial genius over your bed.

                        No, this is just when you find evidence that he is taking loans - then I will agree that Musk's enterprises cannot exist without "state subsidies" and "loans".

                        I tell you that Mask has no projects that generate enough profit to maintain a break-even level for his companies.

                        To say this, you need to have specific financial indicators. You do not know what kind of profit Mask receives from each commercial launch, which is slightly less than 2/3 of the total number of launches.

                        But the fact that, in addition to the Falcon-9 launches, he has money for the development of Falcon Heavy, and for the development of Starship, and for the construction of the cosmodrome, and for the implementation of the Starlink project, suggests that he has a large source of "superfluous" money that he can invest in these projects.

                        The source of funding can be either loans or hidden dating, coming through the inflated price for the launch of the "government order".

                        You have no evidence about loans - therefore, this argument is dismissed. And state launches cost only $ 30 million more than conventional commercial launches. How many state were there. launches? 28? multiply 28 by 30 - it turns out 840 million the company received "superprofits" from the state. This amount would be enough for the development of Falcon Heavy, but not for Starship, the construction of the cosmodrome and the implementation of the Starlink satellite network.

                        Are you seriously? And for commercial launches, they simply take any rocket from the warehouse and launch it?
                        Absolutely all missiles are prepared and tested before launch.

                        For commercial launches, the requirements are milder. Checks before launches, of course, are available, but the requirements are much less stringent than for government customers. But the price is less - it suits commercial customers.

                        Did they carry them "cash" in their suitcases, or did they transfer them through our Treasury? Are you sure the banks were not involved at all?

                        And what difference does the state transfer its money to private owners through banks or some other body? Even if the money allocated by the state is transferred to the company through the bank - this is open information, no one hides it. You take the conversation aside. We are talking about the very fact of state financing, and not about through which financial body this financing was carried out.

                        Such things also happen with companies that are not on government orders. Remember Westinghouse how she's doing? You thought that this information is not relevant to the topic, but it is not. This is a good example, refuting your "slim" theory about the "sacred market" where the best survive. Rosatom is doing a little better. Or is it just a market for the space industry?

                        First, even if Rosatom goes at a loss, it will not go bankrupt - it is a state corporation, not a private one like Westinghouse. Secondly, no one disputes that Rosatom has more modern nuclear technologies, thanks to which it has gained a competitive advantage and remains a profitable enterprise. By the way, "Rosatom" sits on more than one government order from the Russian Federation - it has both China and Europe as its clients.

                        You have an erroneous and largely naive idea of ​​market mechanisms in the economy.

                        May be. But you don’t have it at all.

                        This is not fully market pricing. Foreign companies participated in the competition?

                        So, according to your "administrative resource" logic, they could break the contract with Roscosmos and go to Musk. Moreover, in fact, there were such examples (with the Asiasat satellites). True, these examples are not explained by "administrative resource".

                        Very rash statement. No. Virtually no company can work without loans in our time. If you think that Musk does not take loans at all, you are mistaken.

                        Tesla takes out $ 1,6 billion loan in China to invest in a factory in Shanghai

                        https://currency.com/ru/news/2019/12/27/china-tesla-loans

                        And for personal needs, loans are not uncommon.

                        I understand that you had a bit of the wrong loans in mind, but it’s better to put it more carefully. smile

                        To say this, you need to have specific financial indicators. You do not know what kind of profit Mask receives from each commercial launch, which is slightly less than 2/3 of the total number of launches.

                        That's right, I do not have. And let's try to count together. How much is the Merlin engine, not in the know? I do not want to waste time searching.

                        But the fact that, in addition to the Falcon-9 launches, he has money for the development of Falcon Heavy, and for the development of Starship, and for the construction of the cosmodrome, and for the implementation of the Starlink project, suggests that he has a large source of "extra "money that he can invest in these projects.

                        I think so too Yes and I guess this source is "Uncle Sam's" pocket.

                        You have no evidence about loans - therefore, this argument is dismissed. And state launches cost only $ 30 million more than conventional commercial launches. How many state were there. launches? 28? Multiply 28 by 30 - it turns out 840 million the company received "super-profits" from the state. This amount would be enough for the development of Falcon Heavy, but not for Starship, the construction of the cosmodrome and the implementation of the Starlink satellite network.

                        840 million, of course, is not enough to develop Starship, but it is quite enough to compensate for the dumping price of "commercial launches".

                        First, Rosatom, even if it goes at a loss, will not go bankrupt - it is a state corporation, not a private one like Westinghouse. Secondly, no one argues that Rosatom has more modern nuclear technologies, thanks to which it gained a competitive advantage and remains a profitable enterprise.

                        Why are you telling me about the loans that Musk himself or his Tesla takes? We're generally talking about another company, if that.

                        How much does the Merlin engine do not know

                        - I do not have such information. What for?

                        I think so too and believe this source is "Uncle Sam's" pocket.

                        “Well, you can think of at least reptilians from Nibiru.” Evidence is needed, not reasoning.

                        840 million, of course, is not enough to develop Starship, but it is quite enough to compensate for the dumping price of "commercial launches".

                        Okay. Let's say he spent this money on "dumping compensation". Where does the money for the cosmodrome, Starlink, Falcon Heavy, Starship come from? On 'mnb projects, the state did not allocate anything))

                        You see, it turns out that state-owned corporations can be successful.

                        - So I do not deny. They can - if they are not sitting on state orders alone.

                        Do you see contradictions? Companies switch to "their" launches, while having long-term contracts. It is quite logical to "finalize" them to the end. Surely there are various penalties for refusing to launch. In addition, it is not a fact that Musk could immediately provide all the required launches. Rockets are not pies, you can't bake in an hour.

                        That is, in addition to your guesses, you have no evidence.

                        I won’t show you the credit history of the Mask; there will also be no help with printing. Work on loans is a global practice, almost all companies work this way. If you think Musk is one exception and takes out money from his grandfather's chest, it would be very interesting to listen to the substantiation of this opinion.

                        Why are you telling me about the loans that Musk himself or his Tesla takes? We're generally talking about another company, if that.

                        Firstly, you did not specify that loans are of interest for this particular company. I wrote, be careful in the expressions. laughing Secondly, Musk takes loans for himself, for his Tesla company, but he does not take loans, he has a lot of money. Are we talking about the same person? belay

                        Okay. Let's say he spent this money on "dumping compensation". Where does the money for the cosmodrome, Starlink, Falcon Heavy, Starship come from? On 'mnb projects, the state did not allocate anything))

                        Partly investors, partly loans, perhaps the state threw it on development, but he does not do it on his own initiative for his own use?

                        - So I do not deny. They can - if they are not sitting on state orders alone.

                        In order to receive commercial orders, I needed the help of the state, including cheap loans. The market capture scheme has many similarities with the situation in question.

                        - what "this"? An example of Rosatom, which carries out a bunch of projects that are not related to the Russian Federation?

                        To get this "heap of projects" it took decades to develop and develop technologies, to provide a production base and personnel training, scientific developments. I doubt that this is possible without state resources.

                        Winning a closed tender is just a model of market pricing

                        And why not?

                        Companies switch to "their" launches, while having long-term contracts. It is quite logical to "finalize" them to the end.

                        And, after all, there was no "administrative pressure"?

                        That is, loans are not a reflection of the company's profitability / loss ratio? Indeed, otherwise, if almost all companies use them, then, according to your logic, this should indicate their loss-making?

                        Firstly, you did not specify that loans are of interest for this particular company

                        - I remind you that we have a discussion about SpaceX. I thought it was obvious. But if not, I will remind you once again.

                        Partly investors, partly loans, perhaps the state threw it on development.

                        The state has not allocated a cent for these of his projects.

                        ... he doesn’t make them for his own use, on his own initiative?

                        In order to receive commercial orders, state assistance was needed, including cheap loans. The market capture scheme has many similarities with the situation in question.

                        Few. Starting with the type of organization itself (state corporation and private company) and ending with the scope of activity. Clients in nuclear energy are states; there are no commercial customers at all. As I said, you give analogies so-so.

                        To get this "heap of projects", it took decades to develop and develop technologies, to provide a production base and personnel training, scientific developments. I doubt that this is possible without state resources.

                        Nuclear power - right, without state support is impossible. Because this market is completely divided between states, there are no private customers.
                        The cosmic sphere is completely different. There are both state and private customers. Rockets are much easier to design and manufacture than nuclear power plants. Plus, Musk lured specialists from NASA, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other American organizations involved in astronautics. He started with a Falcon-1 single-engine test rocket, then received money from NASA to build a larger Falcon-9. Everything is quite real.

                        And why not?

                        Because there are practically no competitors. How do you get the concept of market pricing in a closed tender? The market implies competition and the absence of restrictions.

                        And, after all, there was no "administrative pressure"?

                        You have a rather strange way of thinking. I said that they were forced to immediately terminate all contracts in spite of financial losses? About Mask's impossibility to provide all launches at once, have you read? Or such difficulties do not fit in the head?

                        That is, loans are not a reflection of the company's profitability / loss ratio? Indeed, otherwise, if almost all companies use them, then, according to your logic, this should indicate their loss-making?

                        Can you rest? That the conclusions you have come up are rather strange. The presence of loans does not mean automatic loss. This is a common practice. It is you who claim that the Great Mask does not need loans, he has not measured money.

                        The state did not allocate a cent for these of his projects. - just on its own))

                        The projects are expensive, again the question comes up with financing.

                        I’m just telling you, the form of ownership is not a determining factor. By the way, it is not so important who the customer is, the state or the company. Anyway, the winner company is determined on a competitive basis.
                        You simply do not perceive arguments that do not fit into your idea of ​​market relations.

                        Nuclear power - right, without state support is impossible. Because this market is completely divided between states, there are no private customers.

                        But there are competitors, besides the Americans, there are also French, Chinese and so on. Then what about Westinghouse? By the way, will we look at the arms market? So the situation is also interesting. Yes

                        SpaceX rockets are 80% reusable, their (Russians - ed.) - 0%. This is an urgent problem.

                        First you need to see how many reusable launches and how much the rocket, or, at least, the engine cost. Russian RD-180, if not mistaken, they took 10 million each, RD-181 15 million each.

                        How much profit did it bring?

                        And what does profit have to do with it? You argue that without government support, SpaceX would be unprofitable. That is, without it, the company, by definition, would not have money for anything else. However, she also developed super-heavy for her money. And he builds a cosmodrome for his own money. And develops Starship for its own money. And he sells Starlink for his own money.

                        The mere presence of these projects, not funded by the state, shows that SpaceX has extra money. A lot of extra money. What, by definition, cannot be a loss-making company. Ask the Khrunichev Center, he will confirm.

                        And if we talk about profitability, then SpaceX itself is profitable and its main direction is putting payload into orbit.

                        If one of the divisions of the company is temporarily not working, this does not mean that the whole company is standing.

                        Roscosmos is not a company. This is an analogue of the American NASA. This is a governing state organization. Khrunichev Center is a manufacturer.

                      Oh yeah, about SpaceX projects without state participation - in fact, the development of the reusable version of Falcon-9 was also carried out on the company's own money, the state did not allocate any funds for this. Under the ISS supply program, NASA allocated part of the money (just part) to create only a one-time version of the rocket.

                  In order not to be unfounded, I will cite an article that provides a detailed analysis of the SpaceX pricing policy for government customers.

                  https://habr.com/ru/post/425347/

                  By the way, Rogozin’s words that state launches for SpaceX are paid 2-3 times more expensive than commercial ones are, to put it mildly, not quite true.
                  But who really started dumping through subsidies is just Roscosmos. Before SpaceX entered the commercial (private) launch market, the cost of launching Proton was $ 100 million. Then, in order to compete with Musk on price, Roscosmos had to reduce the cost of these launches, first to 75 million, and then to 65 million. It was during this period that Khrunichev began to have problems with debt. With which he had to help the state.

Compare prices with a yuzana rocket and a new one. There is a whole price dynamics depending on weight / height / special requests / time / orbit, etc. And everything is paid by the customer, i.e. you.

            Talk about the launch price and the cost paid by the customer.

            Absolutely. Yes

            the launch market price, for example, at SpaceX, is about $ 60 million, then NASA pays for the same service one and a half to four times more

            NASA has nowhere to put money? What is it if not financing? Call it subsidy, subsidy, support, the essence of this does not change. The company does not receive money for fulfilling the order at the market price.

            I know that you own English.

            Knowledge, loudly said, this is a problem, they leave much to be desired.

            go to the SpaceX website and look at the price tag for launching your satellite.

            What's the point? I already understand that SpaceX launches have become cheaper. Rogozin said about this, and also explained how this became possible. To be honest, Musk's answer did not impress me, it is premature to say that launches are cheaper because of reusable rockets without publishing data, what and how much it costs. Life experience and elementary common sense suggests that disposable is cheaper than reusable. An elementary disposable syringe, pricked and thrown away, reusable is more expensive, it must be sterilized, monitored for its serviceability, which makes its use more expensive and difficult. A disposable lighter is cheaper than a reusable one and you do not need to buy a gas cylinder and silicon for it. Porcelain dishes are not cheaper than disposable ones; drones comparable in class to missiles are unlikely to be cheaper. If that doesn't work for all industries, why is space an exception? It is possible that part of the first stage can be returned cost-effectively, for example, a small "escape capsule" for engines, this is a technically complex and expensive device. But the rest of the rocket is just a tank. Of course, she's not made of tin, but I doubt her return to earth is that cost-effective. To deliver it, you need to make a complex landing system, then this hefty contraption needs to be translated, checked. In general, the benefits are not at all obvious to me.

            There is a whole price dynamics depending on weight / height / special requests / time / orbit, etc.

            Certainly. Yes That is why we are talking about "one and a half to four times."

            And everything is paid by the customer, i.e. you.

            Does SpaceX have orders from Russia? belay Did I understand correctly? The point is that the commercial price is paid by the customers and it is understated, and without "surcharges" from NASA it will not work to keep such a price, it is very similar to dumping.

              Life experience and elementary common sense suggests that all disposable is cheaper than reusable. An elementary disposable syringe, pricked and thrown away, reusable more expensive, it must be sterilized, monitor its serviceability, which increases the cost and complicates its use. A disposable lighter is cheaper than a reusable lighter and you do not need to buy a bottle of gas and silicon to it. Porcelain dishes are not cheaper than disposable

              There is in science called "logic" such a mistake as "false analogy". So you just admit it. Comparing the transport system (booster) with a lighter and a plate is, of course, the height of logic.

              Life experience and elementary common sense suggests that all disposable is cheaper than reusable

              Oh really? That is, we have disposable planes flying, disposable cars driving, disposable ships floating, disposable trains riding? What is such a reality? Or do we have people walking around in disposable clothes and shoes? Use disposable computers and phones?

              - which without fuel tanks will not sit down. And the fuel tanks are in the first stage. It would be possible, of course, to save the engines with the help of parachutes, only the mass of these parachutes would be much larger than the mass of fuel needed to land the first stage. In addition, parachutes are susceptible to wind, do not provide a completely soft landing (only soften the blow), and do not provide accuracy of landing.

                Do you think the technical aspects are worth considering in detail? I only questioned the economic feasibility of returning and reusing the "tank", because this requires additional engines and fuel for them, a control system. This is also not cheap, by the way, I doubt that the parachutes weigh much more. But this is all a dispute about anything, we have no exact data.

                  - about drones? Of course I did. Because, first of all, you mixed drones with plates in a bunch, which in itself is incorrect. And secondly, where have you seen the disposable drone? Even light shoulder-launched reconnaissance models are reusable.

                  So with or without this "ending" of your quote - it still remains incorrect.

                  Do you think it's worth considering the technical aspects in detail? I only questioned the economic feasibility of returning and reusing the "tank", because this requires additional engines and fuel for them, a control system.

                  But how can one generally analyze the cost-effectiveness of a technical system without evaluating its technical aspects?

                  This is also not cheap, by the way I doubt that parachutes weigh much more.

                  - the parachute for the propulsion block (and it is, in fact, heavy) has at least the same mass as the amount of fuel that is needed for landing. Moreover, the parachute system is more expensive than the fuel itself. In addition, the parachute system for the engine block has the following disadvantages:

                  - it saves only the engines, while the stage itself also stands, in general, a lot.

                  - parachutes do not completely save from a blow, they only extinguish it. And just after that, you need to rebuild the engines. The experience of the Space Shuttle boosters rescued by parachutes has clearly shown this.

                  - parachutes do not provide accurate landing. This means that by launching over the sea, you will not be able to land them exactly on the platform. This means that you have to land on the water. And seawater - and this is also proven by the Shuttle accelerators, cause great damage to engines.

                    - About drones, then? Of course, deleted. Because you, firstly, mixed drone with plates in a bunch, which in itself is incorrect.

                    I did not mix in a heap, but continued a series of examples, from simple to complex.

                    And secondly, where have you seen the disposable drone? Even light shoulder-launched reconnaissance models are reusable.

                    As you will find reusable rockets launched from the shoulder, we continue this fascinating conversation. Yes

                    So with or without this "ending" of your quote - it still remains incorrect.

                    An incomplete quote that distorts the meaning of what was said is incorrect, usually called "pulled out of context." hi

                    But how can one generally analyze the cost-effectiveness of a technical system without evaluating its technical aspects?

                    Why not? You do not doubt it, although I doubt that you own detailed data. If they tell me that it is cheaper, I treat the message with caution, which is why your optimism is due to - a mystery to me. winked

                    Moreover, the parachute system is more expensive than the fuel itself.

                    Do you not consider the cost of engines?

                    - it saves only the engines, while the stage itself also stands, in general, a lot.

                    But is it advisable to save the barrel? It must be considered, but since there is no data ..... the question hangs in the air.

                    - parachutes do not completely save from a blow, they only extinguish it. And just after that, you need to rebuild the engines. The experience of the Space Shuttle boosters rescued by parachutes has clearly shown this.

                    Experience has shown the "flimsy" design of the Space Shuttle boosters, or the inefficiency of the parachute system. Cosmonauts do not need to reassemble after landing on parachutes. In addition, boosters are essentially the same rocket, some engines are much smaller, both in mass and in volume.

                    parachutes do not provide accurate landing. This means that by launching over the sea, you will not be able to land them exactly on the platform. This means that you have to land on the water. And seawater - and this is also proven by the Shuttle accelerators, cause great damage to engines.

                    We don’t need to put anything into the water, and the taiga is not the sea, it does not add corrosion. Where they were going to plant pieces of the Shuttles was not relevant, due to the lack thereof. hi

                      - only disposable drones don't exist. With the exception of projectile aircraft, the function of which is to fly over and detonate the target with them. And, since you decided to continue from simple to complex, what did you not say then about airplanes, ships, trains, cars, computers and other reusable equipment? And the answer is simple - because they do not fit into your "harmonious logic". Although launch vehicles are just logical to compare with them, because launch vehicles are transport systems, and they have a completely different function than kitchen plates or lighters. By the way, you even goofed with the plates - it is more profitable to operate porcelain plates than to constantly buy disposable ones.

                      How to find reusable rockets launched from the shoulder, continue this fascinating conversation

                      - So you yourself drew an analogy between drones and missiles. Moreover, the analogy is invented, because there are no disposable drones. You contradict yourself.

                      An incomplete quote is incorrect, distorting the meaning of what was said, usually called "pulled out of context"

                      - nothing is distorted there. You made a false analogy; I showed why it is false.

                      Why not? You do not doubt it, although I doubt that you own detailed data.

                      I have no doubt about it, because it has been explained from a technical point of view hundreds of times already. How, why and due to what SpaceX landing scheme is more profitable than using parachutes.

                      Do you not consider the cost of engines?

                      - why take them into account? The Falcon-9 rockets are returned using the same engines as they take off. Small shunting engines on the steps are additional, but they are cheap and very light, their impact on the cost of construction is minimal.

                      But is it advisable to save the barrel?

                      The first stage is not a "barrel". This is a high-tech product even without engines. Tanks, fuel supply system, control complex are used not only for return, but also for starting. And losing them every time is very expensive.

                      Experience has shown the "flimsy" design of the Shuttle accelerators, or parachute system inefficiency.

                      With the design of the side shuttle boosters, everything is in order - not flimsy any other missiles. And their experience has shown the inefficiency of the parachute system as such. Therefore, SpaceX and chose their way of landing.

                      Cosmonauts do not need to reassemble after landing on parachutes.

                      - right. Because the entire load from the impact is taken upon by the design of the descent vehicles. They themselves become unsuitable for subsequent launches, but the astronauts remain intact.

                      We don’t need to put anything into the water, and the taiga is not the sea, it does not add corrosion.

                      - Firstly, during launches from the Eastern flight path, LVs will pass just above the sea. Secondly, taiga does not cause corrosion of engines, but it ruins them with a hard surface from impact.

                  By the way. To return a stage, SpaceX uses the same engines that launch it. There are no "additional engines" for landing on it. Additional are the shunting engines that correct the trajectory of the stage on the descent, only they are primitively simple and cost practically nothing. And they practically weigh nothing.

                      Much. See what parachute systems are used to land the dropped vehicles. Not to be unfounded, here is an example of the Bakhcha parachute system:

                      https://defendingrussia.ru/upload/articles/

                      This complex of parachutes and shock-absorbing pillows is necessary for soft landing of only one landing BMD. Moreover, it descends from a height of a maximum of several kilometers, that is, its fall rate is much, much less than the fall speed of the propulsion block of the launch vehicle. At the same time, the BMD has a margin of safety, allowing it to withstand a blow to the ground during descent with parachutes (and there is a blow there), and rocket engines - by definition, the design is more fragile, they have a completely different purpose. They are afraid of any, even a small blow to the ground.

                        Yes figs with her, with a parachute system, I say that it is possible to return some engines without tanks is perhaps more appropriate. On Falcon 9, if I am not mistaken, 9 of them. Here is the opinion of the SpaceX engineer:

                        95% of the mass of the rocket is the mass of fuel, I'm talking about the Falcon 9. So maybe the fuel is just very expensive? No, actually not, it costs less than 0,5% of the cost of the rocket. The most important thing is the structure, the rocket engines. They are very expensive. The problem is that we throw rockets. Until recently, it was believed that all missiles were disposable.

                        In my opinion, the bulk of the rocket is capacity, the engines are the lightest, most compact and valuable part of the rocket, and it is them that are worth returning to the ground. How this will be done is secondary.

                        - So the point is that you can only return engines with parachutes. Tanks are in the rest of the stage.

                        - right. Engines are the most complex and valuable part of them. But the stage itself, including tanks, a fuel supply system, a control system, etc., is also valuable, albeit less valuable, than engines. About this engineer SpaceX in his statement and spoke.

                        How will this be done a second time.

                        - You can only return the engines using parachutes. There are no other ways. But I already wrote about the shortcomings of the parachute system, moreover, several times.

                        Firstly, not enough. To sit on their own traction, engines need a system and controls. Secondly, as I have already said, tanks and a fuel supply system, although relatively cheaper than the engines themselves, also cost money. Much money.

                        You can write about its shortcomings at least 1000 times, without specific data it is useless.

                        Want specific data? Okay

                        The minimum speed of descent, which is provided by the same "Bakhcha" of 11 domes, is 10 m / s. That is, the load suspended from it thumps to the ground at a speed of at least 10 m / s per second. And if for BMD this is not so scary, then for rocket engines it is critical.

                        The speed of the Falcon-9 step at the moment of touching the platform or landing pad is - attention! - 0 m / s.

                        Both methods have their pros and cons.

                        - The only minus landing on their own engines is that for it you need to leave a certain amount of fuel. Everything.

                        You can assume that American engineers are the smartest and never wrong, and their decisions are the only right ones, but this is not so.

                        - Why do you ascribe to me some of your speculations? We are considering a specific technology. The effectiveness of this technology has been proven by SpaceX in practice. Empirically.

                        I may tell you a secret, but the liquid propellant rocket engines do not fly on one kerosene, but on its mixture with an oxidizing agent (oxygen). Therefore, to save the engines you will need not just one, but two tanks. This time.

                        Secondly. Why invent extra tanks for fuel and oxidizer to save only the engine block, if you can save the entire stage at once, without complicating its design and allowing you to save the tanks themselves, fuel supply system, system and controls in addition to the engines?

                        You offer a completely irrational option.

                        you communicated with each other with such enthusiasm, discussing the landing of the first stage by parachute, which I missed, did you discuss splashdown? A parachute, of course, is good, but salt water will ruin the stage very much. And all launches are carried out over the ocean. Corrosion from salt will lead to the replacement of so many parts and will leverage the low cost of restarting. You can catch a parachute in the air with a helicopter, as Rocket Lab does for its Electron rocket (movie in link).

                        On March 27, NASA announced it had signed a contract with SpaceX for Gateway Logistics Services (GLS) to deliver cargo to Gateway. The agency did not disclose the specific terms of the contract, but stated that the total cost of the program was a maximum of $ 7 billion for 15 years.
                        At the time of the announcement, NASA did not disclose any other bidders for the contract. However, in a statement on source selection published by NASA on April 9, the agency said that Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) along with SpaceX submitted program proposals.

      And the fact that Musk issued a device to combat snoring for mechanical ventilation

      - Firstly, Musk did not give them out for mechanical ventilation. Secondly, these devices are designed to combat apnea, not snoring. Thirdly, these devices are quite suitable for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate pulmonary insufficiency. Mechanical ventilation is needed for severe patients.

      which on the contrary only increase infection.

          Again. Musk purchased 1255 devices to combat night apnea. They are quite suitable for oxygenation of patients with mild or moderate pulmonary insufficiency.

          Instead of watching the highs of some whistleblowers, you need to turn to the original source - to the tweet of Mask himself. And it sounds like this:

          Yup, China had an oversupply, so we bought 1255 FDA approved ResMed, Philips & Medtronic ventilators on Friday night & airshipped them to LA. If you want a free ventilator installed, please let us know!

          He used the term "ventilator". This term refers to all ventilation devices - from those used in clinics to home models. In addition, he pointed out that these devices are approved by the US government FDA.

                  - a project is being developed;
                  - the prototype is being implemented under the project;
                  - An experimental product is being tested.
                  - if the tests are not successful, the experimental product is finalized taking into account the results of these tests;
                  - The modified product is tested again. If the testing is successful, the product is put into operation and mass production. If the tests are not successful, the project is being finalized again. And so on until the product passes the test.

                  Before entering service, the Russian Soyuz spacecraft was also tested. And yes, during these tests, it also often collapsed, after which it was modified.

                  I'll tell you even more. The very first manned flight of the Soyuz spacecraft in 1967 led to the death of cosmonaut Komarov. Do you know why? Because it was not finalized. At the time of launch with Komarov, he did not pass the entire test cycle.

            Again. Musk purchased 1255 devices to combat night apnea.

            Oh yeah, Yes the difference is huge. fellow

            Sleep apnea is a type of apnea characterized by the cessation of pulmonary ventilation during sleep for more than 10 seconds ..
            Narrowing of the upper respiratory tract during sleep predisposes to obstructive apnea. With apnea lasting more than 10 seconds, a state of hypoxia and hypercapnia with metabolic acidosis occurs, with an increase in the severity of changes as the duration of apnea increases. At a certain threshold of these changes, there is an awakening or transition to the superficial stage of sleep, at which the tone of the muscles of the pharynx and mouth increases with the restoration of patency of the pharynx. This is followed by a series of deep breaths, usually with intense snoring. As the blood gas composition normalizes, a deeper sleep phase begins.

            A deeper phase of sleep, and even without snoring, this is what is called "what the doctor ordered", Yes with coronavirus the most. good

              Oh yes, yes the difference is just huge.

              - actually huge. Read the definition you made yourself. Read it again and again - maybe the difference between apnea (prolonged respiratory arrest) and snoring, which accompanies the exit from this state.

              Deeper sleep phase

              - you are not even able to master the definition that you yourself have led. Well, I will give you my own quote:

              Sleep Apnea - apneawhich is characteristic cessation of pulmonary ventilation during sleep for more than 10 seconds ..

              with coronavirus the most.

              - with mild to moderate degree of respiratory failure arising in the majority (vast majority) of patients with coronavirus, this is just enough.

                With mild to moderate degree of insufficiency, people do not need mechanical ventilation, they are needed for complications, and it is they that give a chance to survive. And these will give the opportunity to sleep before death and without snoring.

                        - Invasive mechanical ventilation was also purchased by other private and public companies. Musk bought non-invasive home-friendly people with mild to moderate pulmonary insufficiency. Thus freeing up places in hospitals for seriously ill patients. Everything here is absolutely logical.

                        What did he say? Dear compatriots, I bought you devices that help with shortness of breath and give you the opportunity to sleep without snoring?

                        He wrote that he had purchased such and such devices approved by the FDA. And that’s all.
                        I see, you do not quite understand what pulmonary failure is and what its danger is. Well, I'll chew you.

                        Respiratory failure is an indicator of how much the lungs "do not supply" the body with the oxygen necessary for its normal functioning. This is precisely an indicator of lung function, without taking into account other body systems.

                        Respiratory failure can be mild, moderate, and severe.

                        It may seem that mild or moderate respiratory failure is simply uncomfortable shortness of breath, which is inconvenient, but not life threatening. I explain why this is not so.

                        For example, you have anemia - a lack of red blood cells that carry oxygen in the body. That is, even with normal breathing, insufficient oxygen is delivered to the tissues. This is accompanied by weakness, in severe cases - loss of consciousness. And this is during normal functioning of the lungs themselves. And here, in addition to anemia, you have mild oxygen deficiency. The brain also received insufficient oxygen without it, and with it it received even less. As a result, getting even less air, it simply dies.

                        The same situations will arise if you have heart failure, atherosclerosis, and other cardiovascular diseases.

                        Now it’s clear why many people even need lung ventilation, even with mild to moderate respiratory failure?

                        https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/emergency-use-authorizations#covid19ventilators

                        In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 24, 2020, and based on the February 4, 2020 HHS EUA determination, the HHS Secretary declared that circumstances existing justifying the authorization of emergency use of medical devices, including alternative products used as medical devices, due to shortages during the COVID-19 outbreak.

                        HHS is, by the way, the US Department of Health. On the same day, the FDA approved the same recommendations.

                        As for the essence of the matter, there is no extreme. As far as I understand, both points of view have a place to be. For some reason I remembered an old, not funny joke about a low flying crocodile.
                        Let me explain.
                        Mask appeared on Twitter on March 24th:

                        Yup, China had an oversupply, so we bought 1255 FDA-approved ResMed, Philips & Medtronic ventilators on Friday night & airshipped them to LA. If you want a free ventilator installed, please let us know!

                        Reported purchase of FDA-approved ventilators. In general, as far as I understand, everything that blows air, ventilates the lungs and is included in the list of permitted, fans for them.
                        According to our standards, the purchased ventilators are not. Rather, it is the same type of equipment, similar to the principle of operation, in fact, a surrogate, a cheaper substitute, and I hope it will not come to inclusion in "our list".
                        When they start to say that Musk bought ventilation machines, people understand that this is not so, hence the rejection of information.
                        It looks something like this. The person is told that butter was bought and handed over for the canteen at the school, and the name is given, say, "Margarine is a special sandwich." Naturally, you will get back - margarine is not butter, what do you feed the children with? And you start to explain - you understand, there is not enough food there, the list has been expanded, now there is no division, everything that can be spread on bread is butter.
                        In general, the inclusion of this "ventilator" on the US list does not make it ventilated. For us, he is not. A person should not delve into what was included in some list somewhere overseas.
                        And your questions should not arise to the person who says this, but to the herd of enthusiastic broadcasters on the Internet "Elon Musk bought ventilators". fellow
                        Deliver information correctly and there will be no such questions. But they either do not understand the difference, or they do it on purpose. To say that in the "citadel of democracy and the driver of world development" "children are stuffed with margarine" is not easy.
                        I recommend that you apply your seething energy to correct precisely the incorrectly submitted primary information.

                        Strictly speaking, in Russia, too, the term mechanical ventilation refers to both invasive and non-invasive models.

                        An artificial lung ventilation device (ventilator) is medical equipment that is designed to force a gas mixture (oxygen and compressed, dried air) into the lungs to saturate the blood with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the lungs.

                        The ventilator can be used both for invasive (through an endotracheal tube inserted into the patient’s airways or through the tracheostomy), and for non-invasive ventilation of the lungs - through a mask.

                        Even the "Ambu Bag" with an oxygen mask is a ventilator, you will not believe it. So the phrase in the Russian-language media "Musk bought 1255 ventilator" is also quite correct.

                        So the only ones who are to blame for this whole situation are all sorts of "Musk's whistleblowers" who, without understanding the topic, began to rant that "here, look what a scoundrel and liar he is." A man has just bought 1255 devices that can be used to treat patients with mild or moderate respiratory failure. Or, in extreme cases, temporarily replace invasive mechanical ventilation in case of failure.

                        Strictly speaking, there is GOST R ISO 10651-5-2015 "DEVICES FOR ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION OF LUNGS, MEDICAL"

                        http://docs.cntd.ru/document/1200123296

                        - identical to the international standard ISO 10651-5: 2006 "Lung ventilators for medical use - Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Part 5: Gas-powered emergency resuscitators"

                        https://www.iso.org/ru/standard/35975.html

                        This is a complex and expensive resuscitation medical equipment. It is this equipment that we understand by the term ventilator.
                        All other equipment, similar in functionality, is not such, and your further considerations have a share of cunning.
                        Yes, in the USA they have lowered the standards below the generally accepted international ones, but this is not our problem. This does not concern us. It’s not worth spreading to us the reality adopted there.

                        Even the "Ambu Bag" with an oxygen mask is a ventilator, you will not believe it. So the phrase in the Russian-language media "Musk bought 1255 ventilator" is also quite correct.

                        And the straw in your opinion is mechanical ventilation? Oxygen can also be blown through it. winked

                        So the only ones who are to blame for this whole situation are all sorts of "Musk's whistleblowers" who, without understanding the topic, began to rant that "here, look what a scoundrel and liar he is."

                        The only culprits in this situation are the dull-headed Mask fans screaming about purchased ventilation. If the correct information were initially reported, the problem would not have arisen. But for them this is unacceptable. How can you tell that there are lowered standards.
                        In Russia, fortunately, the people are not that stupid, they understand the difference between ventilators and various "ventilators".

                        No, in Russia, mechanical ventilation is also understood as a variety of devices. We look at GOST R 52423-2005 (ISO 4135: 2001) "Apparatus for inhalation anesthesia and artificial ventilation. Terms and definitions".

                        mechanical ventilation apparatus; ventilator: An automatic device designed to partially or completely replace the patient’s self-ventilation

                        Here - http://docs.cntd.ru/document/1200044521:

                        2.4.4.10 non-invasive mechanical ventilation; non-invasive mechanical ventilation: Respiratory ventilation through a nose or face mask

                        Next, about this one of your passage:

                        And the straw in your opinion is mechanical ventilation?

                        Did you make such a disparaging analogy in relation to the Ambu sack? Well, I hasten to disappoint you - it refers to ventilators with a manual drive - see Appendix 3 "Division of devices by drive and control".

                        http://docs.cntd.ru/document/gost-18856-81

                        So, as disappointing as it may be for you, non-invasive machines are still ventilators by our standards. And it turns out that the "Musk fans screeched" everything is absolutely correct, but this -

                        In Russia, fortunately, the people are not that stupid, they understand the difference between ventilators and various "ventilators".

                        With coronavirus, it is medical ventilators that are needed to save people's lives, the definition is given above, it is a complex complex, it is necessary to undergo training to work with it.
                        What you are talking about are a few other things. It is no accident that they are listed somewhere after inhalation anesthesia machines, somewhere among others. This is a simplified equipment similar in principle. They are not intended to save lives and resuscitation.

                        http://docs.cntd.ru/document/1200044521

                        Clause 2.4.4.10 non-invasive mechanical ventilation; non-invasive mechanical ventilation: Mechanical ventilation attached to the airways through a nasal or facial mask.
                        Located in: 2.4.4 Ventilation modes. That is, it simply describes the operating mode of the ventilator.
                        If the devices purchased by Mask were initially suitable for treatment, why did you need to add them to the list of allowed?

                        Did you make such a disparaging analogy in relation to the Ambu sack? Well, I hasten to disappoint you - it belongs to manual ventilators. See Appendix 3 "Division of devices by drive and control"

                        I have cited such a dismissive analogy with respect to obsolete models that are not suitable for saving people's lives. Yes, they are suitable for pumping oxygen, however, like a straw. For a long time, they are not able to maintain a given mode. You can advise the Mask to buy also Ambu bags, it is even cheaper. I hope this will not come to their application. Address to the ambulance paramedic, for certain such rarities remained somewhere, try to shake handles, it is interesting, how much will be enough for you. I will listen with interest about the practice of using this equipment in the treatment of coronavirus.

                        As we see, in doubt.

                        It is a You You see, for the vast majority of people this is not so. Do not believe? Maybe give an example of how such devices are used to treat coronavirus in our country?

                        They are not intended to save lives and resuscitation.

                        They are quite suitable for the following purposes:

                        - maintaining a comfortable state of patients with small and medium pulmonary insufficiency. Thanks to this, they do not have to go to overloaded hospitals.

                        - to save the lives of people with mild to moderate respiratory failure, suffering from anemia, diseases of the cardiovascular system.

                        - as backup ventilation in case the main ventilation device breaks down.

                        In other words, if there is a shortage of "serious ventilators", such "frivolous" ventilators, at least as a temporary solution, are quite, completely. Which explains the fact that the FDA included them in the list of drugs for the treatment of patients with coronavirus.

                        Located in: 2.4.4 Ventilation modes. That is, it simply describes the operating mode of the ventilator.

                        Right. And if the device supports this mode, it means that it is considered a ventilator. This was to the question of the applicability of the term. In the past, you said that Russian standards do not call such ventilation devices. Which is obviously not so.

                        If the devices purchased by Mask were initially suitable for treatment, why did you need to add them to the list of allowed?

                        Because it is a specialized document relating specifically to methods of care for patients with coronavirus.

                        I have cited such a dismissive analogy with respect to obsolete models that are not suitable for saving people's lives.

                        Firstly, I cited the example with the Ambu bag in confirmation of the fact that in Russian medical standards the "ventilator" means not only those devices that are used in intensive care, but in general any devices that provide forced ventilation of the lungs. This is again to the question of the applicability of the term.

                        Secondly, you will not believe it, but the Ambu bag is designed just to save lives - with its help, artificial ventilation of the lungs is temporarily supported in emergency situations. For example, when transporting a seriously ill patient from his home to intensive care unit.

                        That is, yes, with the help of an Ambu bag, you will not be able to maintain the patient’s breathing for several hours, days, etc. But to help him not suffocate for several minutes while he is being taken from the apartment to the intensive care unit is complete. You will not carry a huge stationary IVL for this, right? Right. Moreover, if such devices are not enough in the hospitals themselves.

                        This you see, for the vast majority of people this is not so. Do not believe?

                        - Oh, so you interviewed all people with us?

                        Maybe give an example of how such devices are used to treat coronavirus in our country?

                        Do we have the same epidemiological situation as in the USA?

                        The news sounded like this: "Elon Musk bought 1255 ventilators."

                        We found out that according to all standards (both Russian and American), the devices purchased by Mask are IVL devices.

                        So what's the problem? Musk said somewhere that the devices he purchased were intended for ALL patients? Not. He only indicated that these devices are FDA approved. Lied? Not a drop.

                        In other words, if there is a shortage of "serious ventilators", it is them that are worth buying. It is because of their absence that everything is included in the list, even these "snorers".

                        And is it not destiny to add the brain that there is now a shortage of "serious ventilators" all over the world? And that with a wave of your hand you can't increase their production? But there are much more "frivolous" ones who are able to help (and even save lives) some of the sick.

                        Dying patients need ventilators and not terms.

                        The devices that Musk purchased can help even dying patients. At least temporarily. In conditions of scarcity - this is quite a solution.

                        This is just great. Will he die in the hospital, or will you pump this bag for days?

                        Where did I say that Bag Ambu provide ventilation in the hospital? Can't you read at all?

                        Devices and so are in intensive care. People do not die because they are not comfortable; hospitals lack completely different bags, plastic, for corpses.
                        Why are you telling me about Ambu bags? No one to talk to? Musk and bought them?

                        I gave you an example of a situation where the Ambu Bag, which you so disparagingly compared to a straw, saves lives.

                        No, it's just statistics, most people unlearned before the introduction of the exam.

                        Clearly, again, no evidence other than speculation.

                        No, not like that, at least not yet. But we also have much more normal ventilators. I also haven't heard anything about the use of "wheezing" in China or Italy.

                        Ooh, in Italy they’re even cooler. From masks for swimming.

                        https://www.kaluga.kp.ru/daily/27110.7/4185575/

                        So, the summary.

                        Musk has purchased 1255 non-invasive ventilators that can help people with mild to moderate respiratory failure. Including, to save the lives of those who have a weakened cardiovascular system and other diseases that interfere with the normal saturation of blood with oxygen. And also to unload "serious ventilators" for seriously ill patients, thereby at least temporarily reduce their deficit.

                        Previously, these devices were approved by the FDA as an additional means of care for patients with coronavirus.

                        The "Musk disclosers", without really understanding what ventilation is, what classes they are divided into, in what situations they are used, began to rant about "the deceiving Mask, who, under the guise of ventilation, bought cheap ventilators."

                        Just what I was talking about - they themselves came up with and they themselves exposed their ideas.

                        The news sounded like this: "Elon Musk bought 1255 ventilators."
                        We found out that according to all standards (both Russian and American), the devices purchased by Mask are IVL devices.

                        I don’t know what you found out, I know that by the definition of mechanical ventilation we mean resuscitation equipment, I am not interested in American standards. And Musk bought "snorers", which, out of despair in the context of an epidemic and a lack of quality equipment, were allowed for use in the United States. And I think the choice fell on them when buying, due to the low cost. To say that I bought 1200 devices sounds louder than to say that I bought 5 devices.

                        So what's the problem? Musk said somewhere that the devices he purchased were intended for ALL patients? Not.

                        There is no problem, he can help the sick with anything. But in fairness, that they were not intended for all patients, he did not speak either.

                        He only indicated that these devices are FDA approved. Lied? Not a drop.

                        That's right. Questions about storytellers - Musk bought mechanical ventilation. fellow People who say they bought snoring devices are also not lying. But for some reason this hurts you. You would like them to be called IVL. What is the problem?

                        The "Musk disclosers", without really understanding what ventilation is, what classes they are divided into, in what situations they are used, began to rant about "the deceiving Mask, who, under the guise of ventilation, bought cheap ventilators."

                        If you are such a hardened "whistle-blower of Mask's whistleblowers", then tell me that of the following is not true:
                        1. The devices purchased by the Mask fans are exactly what the Americans call them.
                        2. The purchased devices are much cheaper than the high-quality "real" ones used in resuscitation.
                        3. The devices purchased by Mask are intended for treating snoring and (what is the name of the disease? Well, you know) and are approved for use for treating coronavirus in the mild to moderate stages of the course of the disease, due to a lack of high-quality equipment.

                        Just what I was talking about - they themselves came up with and they themselves exposed their ideas.

                        Before you 3 "notions", you can refute right now.

                        I don’t know what you found out. I know that under the definition of mechanical ventilation we mean resuscitation equipment,

                        I brought you the Russian standards, according to which even the Ambu Bag is a ventilator.

                        There is no problem, He can help the sick with anything. But in fairness, that they were not intended for all patients, he did not speak either.

                        Was he obliged to say that?

                        People who say they bought snoring devices are also not lying. But for some reason this hurts you.

                        The devices purchased by the Mask are used to help patients suffering any diseaseaccompanied by mild to moderate pulmonary insufficiency. It can be not only sleep apnea, but also any other illness.

                        But the wording "to combat snoring" is absolutely incorrect. Non-invasive ventilators are designed to compensate for pulmonary insufficiency. And snoring is totally different. Check out what it is at your leisure. Maybe it will come to you.

                        You would like to name it IVL.

                        I don’t want to, but they are called that way. Both by American and Russian standards.

                        1. The devices purchased by the Mask fans are exactly what the Americans call them.

                        Right. AND? The term ventilator refers to both non-invasive and invasive ventilation devices. In other words, the term ventilaor is equivalent to the Russian "ventilator".

                        2. The purchased devices are much cheaper than the high-quality "real" ones used in resuscitation.

                        Cheaper - yes. Poor quality - no. Can non-invasive devices be used in resuscitation? Yes.

                        The devices purchased by Mask are intended for the treatment of snoring and (what is the name of the disease? Well, you know) and are approved for use for treating coronavirus in the mild to moderate stages of the disease, due to a lack of high-quality equipment.

                        They are not intended to treat snoring. They are designed to compensate for respiratory failure. A specific syndrome that can manifest in a variety of diseases.

                        Was he obliged to say that?

                        No, I don't have to. But I, however, like other people, is not obliged to say that this is mechanical ventilation and not "wheezing".

                        The devices purchased by Mask are used to help patients suffering from any disease, accompanied by mild to moderate pulmonary insufficiency. It can be not only sleep apnea, but also any other illness.

                        They are designed specifically for the treatment of sleep apnea. Why should I say that this is not so?

                        Do not quibble, want to fight for the transition to the correct medical terms?

                        I don’t want to, but they are called that way. Both by American and Russian standards.

                        I don’t give a damn about American standards, even if they standardize the straws. For me, the ventilator is a resuscitation equipment, and the apparatus for treating apnea is an apparatus for treating apnea. Why on earth should I call it a ventilator?

                        Right. AND? The term ventilator refers to both non-invasive and invasive ventilation devices. In other words, the term ventilaor is equivalent to the Russian "ventilator".

                        Wonderful. good With paragraph 1 decided. These are fans.

                        Cheaper - yes. Poor quality - no. Can non-invasive devices be used in resuscitation? Yes.

                        With paragraph 2, too, everything is fine. good They are cheap.
                        For comparison: such Russia transferred to the USA:

                        https://www.oxy2.ru/catalog/cpap/

                        cost from 30 to 000 thousand. I suppose they are even cheaper in China.

                        They are not intended to treat snoring. They are designed to compensate for respiratory failure. A specific syndrome that can manifest in a variety of diseases.

                        With paragraph 3, everything is just as wonderful. good
                        Congratulations. good You are the best myth myth exposer fellow Musk bought cheap fans for sleep apnea under the guise of mechanical ventilation.

                        Substitution of theses absolutely does not color you.

                        No, I don't have to. But I, too. like other people, I am not obliged to say that this is mechanical ventilation and not "wheezing".

                        These devices are ventilators. The fact that you personally and "other people" do not consider them as such is solely your problem of ignorance of medical standards and terminology.

                        They are designed specifically for the treatment of sleep apnea. Why should I say that this is not so?

                        No, they are designed to compensate for respiratory failure, including sleep apnea. In addition to sleep apnea, they can be used (and are used) in any other cases where the patient has respiratory failure. Including with coronavirus.

                        Do not quibble, want to fight for the transition to the correct medical terms?

                        Right. After all, the whole point is in the correctness of the terms. The mask is accused of "passing off the snorers for ventilators." While he bought exactly the ventilator.

                        For me, the ventilator is a resuscitation equipment, and the apparatus for treating apnea is an apparatus for treating apnea. Why on earth should I call it a ventilator?

                        Yes, do not care that there is "for you personally" a ventilator. There is a specific Russian standard, which includes invasive devices, non-invasive devices, and even an Ambu bag to mechanical ventilation. If you do not know the terminology, this is your problem.

                        Remarkably good. We decided on paragraph 1. These are fans.

                        Right. Which is the absolute analogue of the Russian term "ventilator".

                        With paragraph 2, too, everything is remarkably good. They are cheap.
                        For comparison, Russia transferred these to the United States:

                        https://eurosmed.ru/products/apparat-ivl---aventa-m Авента,

                        the cost of 1 500 000 rubles per piece. Musk bought something like this in China:

                        https://www.oxy2.ru/catalog/cpap/

                        the value of y is from 30 to 000 thousand. I believe in China they are even cheaper.

                        AND? Russia well done, that passed on expensive devices. Musk did well, that he transferred cheaper ones (in larger quantities). Am I opposing them? Both of them help American doctors treat coronavirus patients.

                        Musk bought cheap fans for treating anoe in a dream under the guise of mechanical ventilation.

                        Musk purchased non-invasive mechanical ventilation, which helps patients with mild to moderate pulmonary insufficiency, including with apnea.

                        They are devices for the treatment of apnea, and I reserve the right to call them cheap fans in the future, because they are so. The fact that you do not know their purpose is your problem. How they are used in the USA for resuscitation or oxygenation of aquariums does not concern me.

                        No, they are designed to compensate for respiratory failure, including sleep apnea. In addition to sleep apnea, they can be used (and are used) in any other cases where the patient has respiratory failure. Including with coronavirus.

                        You can use them as you want, for me this does not change anything.

                        Right. After all, the whole point is in the correctness of the terms. The mask is accused of "passing off the snorers for ventilators." While he bought exactly the ventilator.

                        He bought CPAP devices, I repeat, it doesn’t matter to me what the Americans buy and how they use them. We sell them under this name. I don’t see the basis for the terminology adopted in the USA.

                        Yes, do not care that there is "for you personally" a ventilator. There is a specific Russian standard, which includes invasive devices, non-invasive devices, and even an Ambu bag to mechanical ventilation. If you do not know the terminology, this is your problem.

                        And I do not care about your idea of ​​standards.

                        Many of our clients thought about buying a ventilator in case of an increase in the coronavirus pandemic and a possible lack of equipment in hospitals. We made a special selection of equipment.

                        What do they offer in the catalog?) We look at the first model - WEINMANN VENTILOGIC LS. We read the description:

                        So, the very first link to a Russian equipment supplier shows us in the list of mechanical ventilation suitable for coronavirus patients, a model for non-invasive ventilation.

                        But about the practice of using CPAP devices in other countries:

                        In Britain - https://lenta.ru/news/2020/04/07/cpap/

                        Johnson is known to be in the intensive care unit at St. Thomas's Hospital in London. His treatment includes continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPAP). - It is usually used for obstructive sleep apnea (respiratory arrest). According to doctors, CPAP may be effective for patients with COVID-19 at the initial stage of the disease.. Sources in the hospital said that Johnson needed about four liters of oxygen.

                        And here are the WHO recommendations for the treatment of patients with coronavirus.

                        The section "Portable ventilators" also mentions CPAP devices

                        And here are some more recommendations from WHO https: // minzdrav-

                        irkutsk.ru/upload/iblock/31b/31b0246191ab7865bcc95644ad723d26.pdf

                        Adopted, by the way, by the department of the Ministry of Health of Irkutsk:
                        Read in Section 2 on the use of non-invasive ventilation.

                        And here's some more news from Britain -

                        https://rusonline.org/britaniya-ispytaet-apparaty-cpap-razrabotannye-komandoy-formuly-1

                        According to the newspaper, CPAP-therapy consists in artificial ventilation of the lungs with constant positive pressure, this method is widely used in hospitals in China and Italy for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 coronavirus. Breathe-helping machine helps to avoid transferring patients to intensive care and eliminate the need for invasive ventilation.

                        The new device was already approved by the UK Medicines and Medical Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and now 100 CPAP devices will be delivered to the University of London College Hospital London (UCLH) for testing and their further dispatch to the rest of the country.

                        And here's another one about Ambu's bag:

                        https://westmedgroup.ru/meshok-ambu-printsip-raboty

                        Quote:

                        In 1953, doctors Holger Hessen and Henning Ruben developed the concept of the world's first manual ventilator. According to their idea, it was supposed to be a pump bag containing medical valve systems and a flexible face mask in a plastic case.

                        The bag they created - or the AMBU breathing bag - is a device for emergency ventilation of the lungs in conditions of inaccessibility of resuscitation equipment. This bag is used to transport patients between departments thanks to its compact size and independence from a power source.

                        It’s hard to judge, cancer isn’t accustomed to walking. You know better.

                        If this goes on, maybe the vacuum cleaners will turn on.

                        123, and you are almost right:

                        "It's not trendy, but it works": A Mississippi doctor uses a garden hose, lamp timer, and electronic valve to create homemade fans.

                        Whoever wrote to you about paid or free Internet, write to them. What have I got to do with it? If someone asserted something, does it mean that Musk is in chocolate here too? This is not an argument, rather an insult for the "idol", do not worry about him so much.

                        And in this case, I did not say anything about you. I just used another example to show how Musk's "whistleblowers" love to attribute to him what he did not say, and then expose their own speculations.

                        I am very happy for them, this example does not fit. Or want to say that I ascribe something to him? In my opinion, this is more inherent in you, stories are born on the fly. Yes Can you tell me when you paid off and began to make a profit at the spaceport in Boca Chica? How many commercial launches have been made from it? In my opinion, you ascribe to the Mask supernatural properties. Do you think everything that the Hand of the Mask touched automatically turns into gold?

                        And I never said that these projects bring him profit. I cited them as evidence that Mask has a lot of extra money from his main area of ​​activity - the operation of the Falcon-9.

                        There is no superfluous money, especially under capitalism.
                        You have provided evidence of huge expenses and not a single evidence of income. The question - where did the money come from - remains extremely relevant. Yes Loans do not suit you, deny subsidies.

                        Expenditure on "side" lines of business means the availability of income from the main line of business. Nobody will be sprayed on side programs if there is no money for it.

                        Loans do not suit you, deny subsidies.

                        - because there are neither one nor the other.

    Siberian State University of Science and Technology named after academician Mikhail Fedorovich Reshetnev has patented a force field to protect a person from radiation during space flights. This is stated in a message published on the website of Rospatent.
    “The invention relates to methods and means of protecting the crew and equipment from ionizing radiation (charged high-energy particles) during space flights, and can also be used to generate electricity on board the spacecraft and control the energy parameters of protective electrostatic and magnetic fields,” Rospatent informs .
    The main danger to human health and the operation of electronic devices when flying into space are protons and positively charged nuclei of high-energy cosmic radiation elements.
    As Vyacheslav Shurshakov, head of the radiation safety department of manned space flights of the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said earlier, an astronaut can spend a total of no more than four years in his entire life, and in the case of an expedition to Mars, a person will receive an authorized dose of radiation in just one flight.

    Even the article shows that they compare warm to salty.

    Mask:

    SpaceX rockets are 80% reusable.

    Rogozin:

    All instructions for resolving the problematic issues of our rocket and space industry were received during a meeting with the president. .... Mask's words are cynicism .....

    Only the most primitive creatures with a mental retardation, such as his sectarians, can still believe in the "genius" of the Mask. All Ilona's projects are unprofitable and disastrous. Even with all the support of NASA, he can't really do anything. Technologies of the 60s are being used by their naive hamsters for something "breakthrough".
    All he can do is cut loot!
    But the manned ship was not, and is not. Accidents one after another.
    The only thing that he can do is to arrange a beautiful presentation and to disrupt financing, yes.
