MAWERICK: miniaturní Bussard ramjet :-)

SEJDA: Ram jet...

PES: to by ale nebyl iontovy, ale prodovy motor .. ve vesmiru se tomu tusim rika "ram drive", ale asi jsem uz zapomnel jak presne


KOUDY: kdyby pojmenoval motory Starship ne Raptor ale Warp, letel by Superheavy Warp 33 a Starhip Warp 6 :D

PES: tohle je ve skutečnosti nejlepší odpověď, kterou by ESA měla na Starlink, kdyby nebyla tak zoufale underfunded a marginalizovaná:

a pro srovnani ostatni rakety (zaznam z Guinnessovky):
"The longest streak of orbital launches without a failure or partial failure is ... The closest rivals to the Falcon 9's record are the United Launch Alliance Delta II, which made 100 successful launches between May 1997 and September 2018, and the Soviet/Russian Soyuz-U, which had 92 successes between October 1983 and Feburary 1986. A higher value – 112 launches between July 1990 and May 1996 – is sometimes given for the Soyuz, but this overlooks the April 1993 failure of the Kosmos-2243 mission."

This launch was the first Falcon 9 Block 5 or Falcon 9 Full Thrust failure breaking the SpaceX record streak of 334 successful launches

YMLADRIS: Upper stage restart to raise perigee resulted in an engine RUD for reasons currently unknown. Team is reviewing data tonight to understand root cause.

Starlink satellites were deployed, but the perigee may be too low for them to raise orbit. Will know more in a few hours.

YMLADRIS: tak ještě aby si ty satelity chytaly ty ionty při poklesu už ze zbytků atmosféry a používaly to pro šplhání se na vyšší orbitu...

@SpaceX
During tonight’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink, the second stage engine did not complete its second burn. As a result, the Starlink satellites were deployed into a lower than intended orbit.

SpaceX has made contact with 5 of the satellites so far and is attempting to have them raise orbit using their ion thrusters.

Musk: We’re updating satellite software to run the ion thrusters at their equivalent of warp 9.

Unlike a Star Trek episode, this will probably not work, but it’s worth a shot.

The satellite thrusters need to raise orbit faster than atmospheric drag pulls them down or they burn up.

KOUDY: vizuálně je to megapůsobivý. Tenhle záběr pro změnu připomíná spíš něco z 30.let 20.století (řekl bych 50.léta, ale ten funkcionalismus tý budovy! to by v 50.letech neudělali.. no možná zase pak ke konci...)

TOXICMAN: bych asi nerekl "serou na to", spis vidim problem prosadit ze penize urcene na vedu/vyzkum pujdou i na propagaci neni uplne trivialni. statni penize jsou vzdycky strasne zaskatulkovane a presuny mezi skatulkama je komplikovane. a skatulky se delaji dopredu, takze kdyz nastane nejaka 'potreba', tak to musi projit x-tym schvalovanim atd.
