Svemir i sve vezano za svemir

Orbita jeste ogroman korak, ali Reddit post meša ono što je stvarno ostvareno sa onim što je zasad projekcija. Tih ~250 $/kg nije cena koju je ovaj let dokazao, već procena onoga do čega bi Starship mogao da dođe uz brzu višekratnu upotrebu, visoku učestalost letova i velike payloade.

Ni završetak leta nije bio nikakvo „promašivanje platforme“. Ship u ovoj misiji nije ni trebalo da sleće na platformu. Plan je bio gotovo deset sati leta i splashdown u Pacifiku zapadno od Čilea, ali je zbog problema sa jednim Raptorom misija skraćena i Starship je usmeren ka splashdown zoni severno od Havaja.

Tamo je odradio kontrolisani povratak i vertikalni splashdown, pa se potom prevrnuo i eksplodirao nakon što su se zapalila preostala pogonska goriva. Dakle, let jeste završen ranije nego što je planirano, ali su ključni ciljevi ostvareni: Starship je prvi put ušao u orbitu, a svih 26 Starlink V3 satelita uspešno je izbačeno.

Pitanje i tih 250 $/kg da li ce biti, jer Musk voli da laze. Verovatno ce neka realnija cena biti oko 1000 $/kg samo iz razloga sto je jeftinije od konkurencije a Maskovic voli da profitira iz takvih situacija.

Mask laže? Nemoguće

GPT projekcija, znači može da se desi i manje od 250 za 10g:

1960–1970	Rane rakete	~87.000 $/kg
2000–2010	Klasične rakete	10.000–20.000 $/kg
2016	Falcon 9	2.800–4.000 $/kg
2026	Falcon 9	~3.250 $/kg
2030*	Globalna projekcija	~1.600 $/kg
2036*	Starship, konzervativno	500–1.000 $/kg
2036*	Starship, ambiciozno	100–300 $/kg
2040*	Globalna projekcija	~300 $/kg
Dugoročno*	Starship, cilj	10–20 $/kg

The James Webb Space Telescope has just witnessed something extraordinary: six ancient galaxies in the early universe are colliding and merging into what could become one of the largest galaxies ever to exist.
The light from this cosmic construction site traveled for nearly 12 BILLION years before reaching us. That means we're seeing these galaxies as they were when the universe was only 1.8 billion years old.
And here's the mind-blowing part...
All six galaxies are packed into a region smaller than our own Milky Way, yet together they already contain hundreds of billions of stars. They are also creating new stars at a furious rate—up to 163 stars every single year. For comparison, the Milky Way forms only about one or two stars annually.

At the center of this chaotic dance, astronomers have found a young supermassive black hole that is growing alongside the galaxies themselves.
We are literally watching the birth of a cosmic giant.

Every massive galaxy you see in the universe today—including our own Milky Way—was built through collisions like this. In fact, about 4.5 billion years from now, the Milky Way and Andromeda will also collide and merge into a completely new galaxy.

The universe is not a static place. It is alive, evolving, and constantly reshaping itself on scales so vast they are almost impossible to imagine.
And yet, tonight, from our tiny planet, we can witness an event that began billions of years before Earth even existed.

Kakav je to spektakl na noćnom nebu za tamošnje civilizacije 🙂

Ako uopšte imaju mraka u tolikoj zvezdanoj gužvi...
