SpaceX's lunar Starship version will not return to Earth

10 2020 June 75

After the successful launch of the Crew Dragon manned spacecraft, SpaceX intends to focus entirely on creating the Starship spacecraft and the reusable superheavy Super Heavy rocket. The head of the corporation, Ilon Musk, spoke about further plans and versions of the promising device on Twitter.

Recall that the development of the Starship, designed for deep space flights, started in 2016. The creation of the device is with varying success. At the moment, four prototypes “broke” in tests. However, for an early stage of development, this is quite normal.

Initially, the Starship & Super Heavy "bundle" was created to deliver passengers and cargo to Mars. But this year, the head of SpaceX showed off the design of the lunar version of the spacecraft. It should be noted that outwardly it differs significantly from the Martian one.
In particular, it lacks a heat shield, flaps and shunting engines. Consequently, the device will fly to “one end”, because, if returned to Earth, it simply burns in the atmosphere.

Musk himself declared the “disposability” of the first lunar versions. In his opinion, in the initial stages of the exploration of the moon, a return flight is not needed. These will be unmanned missions, the purpose of which will be to deliver the necessary equipment to the surface of our natural satellite. At the same time, the ship itself can subsequently serve as a temporary base for astronauts, while the main ones will be erected.

As for the shunting engines, heat shield and flaps, they will not be required during the landing on the moon. In this case, the absence of the above elements will reduce the total mass of the ship.

The head of Space X emphasized that during the first missions it will be necessary to deliver as much equipment as possible, which means the ship itself should be as light as possible. About whether in the future the lunar version of Starship will be manned, nothing has been said.

Here it is. It turns out that disposable ships are needed. It all depends on the tasks. And here they told so much that reusability is our everything, the rest is the last century.

  He specified - in the first missions. They will be irregular. Then yes, investing in more complex reusable versions is pointless. If the task is to organize regular scheduled cargo and manned flights, then reusability is needed.
  
  Flights to the ISS (or any other DOS) or the launch of cargoes into low Earth orbit are regular, so yes, they are disposable in yesterday.
  
  For the Mask, the Moon is of little interest; he does not see much value in it. His lunar missions are a clean order from NASA. He himself targets Mars. And for Mars, he creates precisely reusable ships.

    These are your personal cockroaches in your head. There is one criterion - economic feasibility.

    No one cares what he is aiming for. They will give him money from the budget - he will build it, they will not give it - he will not. We will wait for the end of the election and see if the gardens bloom on Mars.

      It is precisely because of it that reusable equipment is needed for regular flights.
      
      They will give him money from the budget - he will build it, they will not give it - he will not.
      
      And he makes "Starship" not with budget money.

        This is just one of the directions that you can go to reduce costs. If reusable equipment is always cheaper, why not send it to the moon? After all, planning is not an isolated one.
        
        And he does "Starship" not with budget money
        
        Let him have fun. He also did not build a hyperlope at the expense of the budget. But does he also plan to build cities on Mars?

        The first expeditions under the Artemis program will be rare.
        
        He also didn’t build a hyperlope at the expense of the budget
        
        Right. And the test bench was built by SpaceX. And this project was not targeted for the company, it is a side project, funded on a residual basis.
        
        But does he also plan to build cities on Mars?
        
        He makes a transportation system for delivering people and cargo to Mars. The settlements themselves will be built by others.

        Likewise, the "atobus" does not leave the ISS every hour. In the fall, apparently after the elections, in order not to risk, Dragon may become two-time. And then no more than 2 flights a year were planned.

        It’s probably hard to admit that an idol can be screwed up?
        
        What project did it turn out to mean - the target, if it did not grow together, then it was not really wanted? Did I understand correctly?
        At Rogozin, almost everything is funded according to the residual principle, but this does not prevent you from discussing his mediocrity. I don’t want to dig deep, so, from memory, recently there was malevolent scribble, they say, Roskosmos was left without American orders and now its annual budget, instead of 5 billion, will be only 1,5 billion. For comparison, I drank more than 3 billion on Dragon Mask.
        
        He makes a transportation system for delivering people and cargo to Mars. The settlements themselves will be built by others.
        
        Means, again the budget was going to cut. There is no other bottomless source of financing in nature.

        You forget:
        
        And - about purely cargo flights (they will also be carried out on these ships).
        
        B - about commercial flights on non-NASA orders (there are already 2 such orders, both for 2021).
        
        It’s probably hard to admit that an idol can be screwed up?
        
        Hard? In general, never. Even if all his other projects have already gone to tartarar, he has already achieved enough to be respected.
        
        What kind of project did you get - does it mean that if it didn’t grow together, then it’s not really wanted? Did I understand correctly?
        
        SpaceX, as reflected in its name, is a space company. Those of its programs that relate to astronautics are targeted, those that do not relate are non-targeted. I thought it was easy to understand, but you have a problem with it. Actually, for the implementation of earth transportation projects he created The Boring Company.
        
        At Rogozin, almost everything is funded according to the residual principle, but this does not prevent you from discussing his mediocrity
        
        I didn’t say anything about Rogozin’s mediocrity.
        
        I talk about the inefficiency of Roscosmos. To understand it, just look at the following numbers:
        
        The cost of the development of "Angara" (3 variants of one rocket) is $ 5,3 billion (for 2018), the rocket is still in development, not used.
        
        The cost of developing the Falcon-9 and reusable Dragon (cargo) is $ 1,9 billion (400 million from NASA, 1,5 - the company's own investments). To be honest, we add the cost of developing super-heavy Falcon Heavy ($ 500 million). Total - 2,5 billion. Everything flies, everything is used, and for a long time.
        
        For comparison, more than 3 billion were drank on Dragon Mask.
        
        I drank - this is when you receive money and do not provide a result.
        
        Musk received from NASA 500 million for the development of Crew Dragon (2,6 billion - this is the payment already for launches, not development). For 10 years, developed, successfully launched.
        
        The Federation's budget from 2016 to 2025 (that is, this projected expenses) is 832 million dollars. First start is planned only in 2023. The development itself has been underway since 2009.
        
        Means, again the budget was going to cut. laughing There is no other bottomless source of financing in nature.
        
        There is such a thing as private investment. And they are much, much more state.

        And - about purely cargo flights (they will also be carried out on these ships)
        
        Will be. Nobody dares to send people on the same ship more than twice. But information about the planned "cargo" flights did not come across.
        
        B - about commercial flights on non-NASA orders (there are already 2 such orders, both for 2021).
        
        I heard that the Americans at the end of 2021 plan to send 4 tourists in orbit to hang out and 2 more on the Union to the ISS.
        
        https://www.space.com/spacex-crew-dragon-will-fly-space-tourists.html
        
        Since there are 4 places in Dragon, and the ship will not be trusted with the control of the ship, then there will be 2 flights, and if the first is at the end of 2021, then the second, most likely, already in 2022.
        
        Hard? In general, never. Even if all his other projects have already gone to tartarar, he has already achieved enough to be respected.
        
        Firstly why even? Secondly, is this the only person you respect? Apparently not But you rush to defend at any mention only of him.Apparently, this is not just respect, but a slightly different feeling.
        
        I talk about the inefficiency of Roscosmos. To understand it, just look at the following numbers:
        The cost of the development of "Angara" (3 variants of one rocket) is $ 5,3 billion (for 2018), the rocket is still in development, not used.
        The development cost of the Falcon-9 and reusable Dragon (cargo) is $ 1,9 billion (400 million from NASA, 1,5 - the company's own investments).
        
        I must disappoint you, dollars were not allocated to the Angara at all, rubles were allocated. The general designer, for example, states that:
        
        The construction of the space rocket complex cost Russia about 112 billion rubles.
        
        https://www.rbc.ru/society/02/03/2019/5c79ef6a9a79475457a39a84
        
        It is unlikely that this amount equals $ 4,5 billion. But you can’t say anything to present the pet white and fluffy.
        
        To be honest, we add the cost of developing super-heavy Falcon Heavy ($ 500 million). Total - 2,5 billion. Everything flies, everything is used, and for a long time.
        
        More honest? To be more honest, it’s worth mentioning the Dragon, only more than $ 3 billion has swelled for it.
        
        I drank - this is when you receive money and do not provide a result.
        
        I drank - this is when state money is appropriated, the result has nothing to do with it.
        
        Musk received from NASA 500 million for the development of Crew Dragon (2,6 billion - this is the payment already for launches, not development). For 10 years, developed, successfully launched.
        
        See paragraph above.
        
        The Federation's budget from 2016 to 2025 (that is, these are projected costs) is $ 832 million. The first launch is planned only in 2023. The development itself has been underway since 2009.
        
        That is why it has been going on for so long. If a comparable amount of funding had been allocated for it, the ship would have been ready for a long time.
        
        There is such a thing as private investment. And they are much, much more state.
        
        Well, yes, and there are probably fairies and unicorns too? Can you give an example of an investor who is ready to finance the Martian program?

        More than two times nobody will risk sending people on the same ship.
        
        Who told you this?
        
        But information about the planned "cargo" flights did not come across.
        
        At least 6 missions for the second phase of the Commercial Resupply Services program have already been ordered.
        
        Firstly, why even?
        
        Because so far everything is fine with his projects. Tesla makes cars, goes into profit for several quarters in a row, production grows. SpaceX is developing, Starlink - recently, either 7 or 8 launches, the total number of satellites in orbit has exceeded 500. Neurolink has released the first prototype of a neurointerface and a robot for its implantation, and the first tests on animals have been carried out.
        
        It is unlikely that this amount equals $ 4,5 billion. no But what can you say to imagine a pet white and fluffy
        
        Now read your link carefully:
        
        Thus, in general, the Angara space rocket complex since its inception and until the end of the year 2014 taking into account two successful launches (the Angara-1.2PP rocket and the Angara-A5 rocket) cost Russia 111,986 billion rubles, calculated ex-CEO Khrunichev Center.
        
        Vladimir Nesterov does not work on the Hangar and is not the Director General of the Center. Khrunicheva since 2014. Accordingly, his calculations this year are limited. And in the yard 2020, 6 years have passed.
        
        Now watch the interview 2012 yearsgiven by the former director of the Federal Space Agency V. Popovkin to the state radio station "Voice of Russia" (now renamed Sputnik):
        
        "After all, the same Angara cost us more than 160 billion rubles. This is a large figure," said the head of Roscosmos.
        
        You can see it here -
        
        https://web.archive.org/web/20121127100202/http://rus.ruvr.ru/2012_07_17/81823744/
        
        In 2012, the dollar / ruble rate was approximately 1/30. It turns out just 5,3 billion dollars.
        
        Why do the directors of the Federal Space Agency have such different opinions with the director c. Khrunicheva - ask them.
        
        But well, let's take the most recent estimates of the Hangara cost. In 2018, the head of the scientific and technical department of Roscosmos said:
        
        I cannot but mention that a total of already been invested in Angara more 110 billion rubles.
        
        Let's not guess how much "more" (by a couple of million or a couple of tens of billions), let's take the minimum value - 110 billion rubles.
        
        At the exchange rate of 2018, 110 billion rubles is 1,6 billion dollars. For $ 1,6 billion (these are the minimum figures for 2018, I repeat) 3 versions of one rocket were created, 2 of which made 1 test flight, after which they were sent for revision. The first launch of the modified rocket is only scheduled for 2020, and full production will begin in 2022. This is at best.
        
        For the same year 2018, the Mask already were - a heavy and super-heavy carrier, a reusable orbital truck. Comparable work in volume? Comparable. Costs - 2,5 billion. More than 1,6 billion, but do not forget that 1,6 billion are prices for 2018, and Angara has not yet been finalized.
        
        More honest? belay To be more honest, it’s worth mentioning the Dragon, only more than $ 3 billion has swelled for it.
        
        They swelled much less for development (at least NASA), the bulk of this amount is the payment for the first manned flights.
        
        I drank - this is when state money is appropriated, the result has nothing to do with it.
        
        That's right - they are appropriated. Can you explain the meaning of this word? It is synonymous with “misappropriation of funds”. In other words, when the allocated budget money goes not to business, but to pocket.
        
        And the simple implementation of the state contract will be so - the simple implementation of the state contract. I didn’t drink it.
        
        This is why it has been going on for so long, if a comparable amount of financing had been allocated for it, the ship would have been ready for a long time.
        
        A comparable amount of funding was allocated to him. In my last comment I wrote to you in detail.
        
        Well, yes, and there are probably fairies and unicorns too?
        
        You probably have.
        
        Can you give an example of an investor who is ready to finance the Martian program?
        
        Now? Of course not. Because there is no reliable and relatively inexpensive interplanetary transport system. If the mask succeeds in making it, investors will also appear. Both private and public. Before the creation of ships capable of sailing across the ocean and returning back, there were no investors in the American colonies either. Neither private nor public. But such ships appeared - investors appeared.

        Who told you this?
        
        Common common sense and logic. They are planning another flight with astronauts, since next year they are planning cargo flights on Dragon, which means that this will be the same ship. Or do you think that people will still fly on this, and a new Dragon will be built for cargo flights? "Passenger" for cargo?
        
        At least 6 missions for the second phase of the Commercial Resupply Services program have already been ordered.
        
        And for what year?
        
        Because so far, everything is fine with his projects. Tesla makes cars, makes profit for several quarters in a row, and production grows.

        Only stocks grow, they, as always, in the United States live their own lives. Production fell 25%, while stocks rose 17%.
        
        SpaceX - is developing, Starlink - the other day it’s either 7 or 8 launch, the total number of satellites in orbit has exceeded 500.
        
        Does the system work?
        
        Neurolink has released the first prototype of a neurointerface and a robot for its implantation; the first tests on animals have been carried out.

        Now let's look at an interview in 2012 given by the former director of the Federal Space Agency V. Popovkin to the state radio station "Voice of Russia" (now renamed Sputnik):
        
        You do not like the data of the retired general designer for 2014? Say, is it already 2020 in the yard? And give the data for 2012, given by a man who was dismissed in 2013? You never cease to amaze me.
        
        On October 10, 2013, by order of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, he was relieved of his post as head of the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation.
        
        Now read your link carefully:
        
        I read it.
        
        Thus, in general, the Angara space rocket complex from its inception to the end of 2014 taking into account two successful launches (Angara-1.2PP rocket and Angara-A5 rocket) cost Russia 111,986 billion rubles., calculated by the ex-general director of the Center Khrunichev.
        
        In addition to these launches, the cost of the program includes, for example, the modernization of Polet’s facilities.
        
        So, all your calculations are not correct.
        
        That's right - they are appropriated. Can you explain the meaning of this word? It is synonymous with “misappropriation of funds”. In other words, when the allocated budget money goes not to business, but to pocket.
        And the simple implementation of the state contract will be so - the simple implementation of the state contract. I didn’t drink it.
        
        You are a strange person, it is in the execution of the state contract that the budget is being sawed and used by private firms for this. You won’t find the exact definition, I can offer this:
        
        https://otvet.mail.ru/question/63070335
        
        Now? Of course not. Because there is no reliable and relatively inexpensive interplanetary transport system. If the mask succeeds in making it, investors will also appear. Both private and public. Before the creation of ships capable of sailing across the ocean and returning back, there were no investors in the American colonies either. Neither private nor public. But such ships appeared - investors appeared.
        
        If you succeed .... will appear ..... Who? Name? Both private and public .... Apart from the state, no one has such free funds.
        
        In general, you can with the tenacity of a fanatic with foam at the mouth to protect your pet, but away from the topic.
        
        Flights to the ISS (or any other DOS) or the launch of cargoes into low Earth orbit are regular, so yes, they are disposable in yesterday.
        
        I still do not see the rationale for this thesis.

        They are planning another flight with astronauts, once next year cargo flights are planned on Dragon, which means that this will be the same ship.
        
        And how does this prove this statement?
        
        More than two times nobody will risk sending people on the same ship.
        
        What, alternate cargo and manned missions, as well as combine them on the same ship (recall, Dragon has a large trunk under the capsule itself) is not possible?
        
        And for what year?
        
        Until 2003.
        
        Q4 2019 - 112 cars sold; Q000 1 - 2020 cars sold.
        
        You recall that in the 1st quarter of 2020, there would be a global epidemic on the planet that hit demand in all areas and at all companies except food and medicine? People lost their jobs in thousands, what will they buy cars for?
        
        Rats with USB in the head? Disgusting horror.
        
        Oh, in your pink world does medicine dispense with animal experiments?
        
        You do not like the data of the retired general designer for 2014? Say, is it already 2020 in the yard? And give the data for 2012, given by a man who was dismissed in 2013? You never cease to amaze me.
        
        I gave you a quote from the head of the FCA (future Roskosmos), who already in 2012, estimated the cost of developing the Angara at 160 billion rubles. Do you not believe the former head of the Russian space industry?
        
        There is nothing surprising in my words, you just need to turn on your head and read carefully.
        
        In addition to these launches, the cost of the program includes, for example, the modernization of Polet’s facilities.
        
        Likewise, test launches were also included in the cost of developing the Falcon-9 and the cargo Dragon. Moreover, for this Musk had not to modernize production facilities, but to organize them from scratch.
        
        So my calculations are absolutely correct.
        
        You are a strange person, it is in the execution of the state contract that the budget is being sawed and used by private firms for this.
        
        I will explain again. The money received under the state contract can be worked out by showing an adequate result. This is called normal government contract work. And you can spend without showing an adequate result, either ineffectively wasting them, or simply stealing. And this is already called "cut".
        
        Done this by a private company or state-owned - it does not matter.
        
        In addition to the state, no one has such free funds.
        
        Do you know how much private company Bayer bought Monsanto? For 65 billion dollars. And in 2013, Bill Gates donated $ 28 billion to a fund named after himself. And these are far from the largest examples of private money investing. Assets of some investment companies reach hundreds of billions of dollars.
        
        In general, you can with the tenacity of a fanatic with foam at the mouth to protect your pet, but away from the topic.
        
        I give you specific examples. If you see fanaticism in this - well, your problem.

        But before his Tesla was inferior in driving performance.
        
        You attribute to the Mask non-existent feats.
        
        Prior to his Tesla Model C, there was no electric car with driving characteristics comparable to cars on an internal combustion engine. Close to this was the Nissan Leaf, but it was much inferior in power reserve. The Tesla Model C could drive at a speed of 80 km / h for a distance of more than 400 km - quite comparable to cars on an internal combustion engine.

        No! I asked you - doesn’t it seem strange to you that for a country that has repeatedly visited the Moon, it is somehow wrong to admire independent flights to the ISS?
        
        - no, it doesn't seem. Astronautics is an area in which past merits are not the guarantor of present merits. The creation of a new ship or carrier still remains a very difficult technical task, regardless of whether the country has done something similar before or not. Russia, possessing undoubted past merits in the creation of space technology, cannot yet “repeat” either the creation of a new ship or a new carrier. Although the carrier (Angara) is not even reusable. It really is nothing new, unlike Falcon.
        
        Personally, I am sure that you will, figuratively speaking, jump out of your pants with joy if Russia does complete the successful development of Angara and Federation, if it successfully launches its AMS again to the Moon, Mars or Venus. Although she had already done all this. By the way, I will also be sincerely glad of this.

        At this stage in its development, the United States is fighting racism, but so far without success.
        
        During the years of flights to the moon, the United States "fought against racism", which did not prevent them from landing their astronauts)) What, by the way, the "non-racist" USSR could not do.
        
        This country has even been overtaken by a former South African with his company.
        
        He did not overtake this country - he was in it and achieved his success.
        
        He is not a competitor to us
        
        Yes, yes, that's what Rogozin himself calls him a competitor)) He’s lying, go.

        Cyril you see, you do not deny that racism is winning in the United States. They "forgot how" to fly to the moon. A private company was able to send a crew to the ISS, which the United States can only dream of.
        
        I’ll tell you a secret, in the USA they publish books in which they prove - flying to the moon is a swindle.

        I did not say anything about "wins". I don’t deny that racism is there.
        
        They "forgot how" to fly to the moon
        
        Exactly. How Russia has forgotten how to make rockets and interplanetary AMS. The Americans also have to re-conquer the moon almost from scratch.
        
        A private company was able to send the crew to the ISS, which the United States can only dream of.
        
        This private company and provided access to the United States in space.
        
        I’ll tell you a secret, in the USA they publish books in which they prove - flying to the moon is a swindle.
        
        Firstly, this is no secret to anyone. Second, these books do not "prove" anything. Thirdly, I do not deny that among the Americans there are also plenty of "especially gifted" conspiracy theorists.
        
        For objectivity

        Real flights to the moon have indeed become a good advertisement for US technological power. Here I agree.

        Over 250 years of US existence, 4 American presidents were killed, the last assassination in 1961. During the same time of the existence of Russia (from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of 21) 3 kings were killed, all other rulers (all without exception) were also assassinated, and more than once.
        
        At least 7 attempts were made on the current president. It is only famous.
        
        I was in a hurry with the fact that the Americans are far from us, but certainly not the inhabitants of Russia to mock the "tradition of assassination".
        
        Racism is the harsh everyday life of a modern US country.
        
        Racism in Russia is also a harsh everyday life.
        
        So, in 2004, the honored test pilot of the Russian Federation and Hero of Russia Magomed Tolboev, an Avar by nationality, was beaten up by the patrol police of Moscow for no reason [47].
        
        In 2013, police officers from St. Petersburg detained a Russian citizen of Tuvan nationality, Kudurek Soskal, who was mistaken for an illegal migrant from Central Asia. Police mistreated Soskal, accusing the latter of forging a passport and illegally obtaining Russian citizenship. During an illegal search in his rented apartment, the police discovered an allegedly fake registration card. The case was brought to court, where the Kalininsky district prosecutor stated that "there is no such nationality in Russia - Tuvans as the Republic of Tuva itself." The prosecution initially demanded to deport Soskal from the country, but later, realizing his mistake and fearing the consequences, he insisted on a fine of 10 thousand rubles. At the same time, none of the police, prosecutors and courts have been punished for inciting ethnic hatred [48].
        
        In 2017, Voronezh police officers demanded that two Chechens walking with a baby on the street show their passport. Unable to get an answer, police officers tried to put a minor Chechen in a patrol car. Standing around a woman, surrounded by a Chechen woman, aggressively shouted: “Go to your Churkistan!” [49].
        
        And these are just manifestations of police racism. With household things are even worse.

Nobody will fly anywhere! This is called sawing a huge dough. They will cut for a long time and with concentration. Then they will send this piece of iron to the moon. She will break. They say - the norm, it should be so! And they will send again. And again failure! And so, until Musk grows old and retires. And there let his followers continue. It’s like in that joke about a Jewish scientist.

An adult son runs to his father and shouts:
- Dad! I finally solved this equation?
“How will you feed your family now?” - the elderly father asks. - Your grandfather solved this equation all his life, I solved all my life, and you took it and decided!

Today an interesting article was published in English - “Rogozin’s complaints about American jokes.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/russias-space-chief-complains-american-152328038.html

According to the head of the Russian space agency, Americans should show more respect for the Russian space program, relying on it for nine years as the only way to send US astronauts into orbit.

In a column of the Russian version of Forbes this week, the head of Roskosmos Dmitry Rogozin complained that the Americans still do not take the Russian space program as seriously as their own.

When our partners finally managed to conduct a successful test on their spaceship, there was nothing for us but jokes and bullying, ”Rogozin complained.

Our country was the first to send man into space, ”Rogozin wrote. "We remain the first to this day."

I really like his phrase - "We remain the first to this day" !!! Those. you Americans, puff out as much as you want with your Moon / Mars / and other flights, but we, even nowhere without flying, will remain the first !!!
Class !!! So, Russians, do not worry about success in space - the flight of 1961 is enough !!!

  Together with the Russians Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, the astronaut Kate Rubins will leave for the six-month mission to participate in the six-month mission as a flight engineer and crew member of expedition 63/64. They will fly to the space station on the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft. The launch is planned on October 14, 2020 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. NASA will pay $ 90 for this.
