Barak Obama's SpaceX Lunar Mission With NASA Component (Kieran Griffith)

[Kapitananime]

Delusional at best.

[Ondelendo]

I am very happy to see the vidoe I applied for a job at SpaceX as a Technical Sales Engineer at Dragon Lab thier Los Angeles - Headquarters, however, I never got a reply from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You

The funniest part about this video is it's title. Barack actually attempted to cancel the lunar program and essentially said "Been there, done that." We also see Ares V here, which he also cancelled. If we ever get back to the Moon, it won't be because of Barack. It will be despite him.

A manned Mars mission will be started with a high acceleration impulse kick, rather than the continuous low acceleration that ion engines create for space probes. That's because humans must eat, and the longer the trip last the more food and oxygen they must have at the beginning, which means more weight of payload, which means more weight in fuel, and even if the series converges the mission is much more expensive with continuous low thrust. So it will be a kick-off departure.

[spacemooseireland]

@Jenab7 The thrust of the ion engine on the dawn mission is about as powerful as the weight of a sheet of paper. However, Ion engines have the largest specific impulse (thrust to weight ratio) of any rocket ever developed. Massive ion engines might be very important in going to Mars. No one can say for sure yet. I would however bet on chemical rockets being the way to go. Boy am I looking foreward to the first manned missions to Mars, even when they are only flybys or Phobos landers.

Falcon9 is not a BUSH or OBAMA program. The COTS program which allowed private companies to make rockets. It was started under Bush and expanded with Obama. I am sure both presidents would agree its a good thing and by fare the safest, most cost effective way to get people to space.

[spacemooseireland]

@ti994apc I never said that COTS was a Bush or Obama program, SpaceX Lunar Mission is a hypothetical program that might be started in the next 6 years by Barak Obama, who knows?

[ti994apc]

@spacemooseireland That would be great. I wonder why we can just have 3-9 falcon9 launches to piece together a moon/mars vehicle. (liked the pieced together ISS vs one big Skylab) Even if it took 3 small segmented engines to reach the 25000 mph to escape orbit, it would probably cost less that Ares1 by itself. I wonder why we feel the need to have one giant rocket to carry everything up in one launch? Just some thoughts.

[monokhem]

@ti994apc , The more mudular the pace craft the more dangerous it is when it encounters stress. The ISS just sits there in orbit. All of it's acceleration happened while it was in pieces. The spacecraft that goes to Mars first will accelerate and decelerate more than any manned vehical ever made.

[Jenab7]

@monokhem "The spacecraft that goes to Mars first will accelerate and decelerate more than any manned vehical ever made." Not by much. And it partly depends on when you leave. Most of the delta-vee required to go to Mars is just getting to low Earth orbit (about 7.7 km/sec). Once there, you need another 3.5 km/sec to leave Earth completely, and enter an elliptical orbit around the sun. If you leave at the right time and aim that dV right, you can go to Mars with maybe just a bit more thrust.

[Jenab7]

SpaceX should build its manned Mars rocket in Earth orbit at an altitude of about 300 km, carrying up the parts one cargo load at a time, then the supplies needed by the astronauts, then the fuel. They can check out the Mars rocket by using its engines to change the orbital plane to the plane in which the transfer orbit will be. If further checks are needed, they can boost to get a higher apogee, then boost again at apogee to circularize the orbit, and top off the fuel tanks before departure.

[leka1622]

@spacemooseireland I think what he's trying to say is Space X is not a government entity, or a government run program. Its a privately owned company, so if there is a Space X Moon mission the Obama (or whoever) administration would have very little to do with it.

[spacemooseireland]

@leka1622 What I am trying to say is that although the mission would be privately managed, Obama or some hypothetical presidential government would be paying for it and would therefore be deciding if it ever happens in the first place, Paying for something and deciding it happens does mean that you have something to do with it. Look at your computer, You paid for the computer and you made the decision to buy it in the first place, do you think you have anything to do with your computer?

[spacemooseireland]

@leka1622 One additional note though, Privately proposed and funded space exploration is the way to go in the more distant future. If you are seriously interested, and not just an idle commentator I have made a half hour movie about private exploration of Mars that is on this channel. It is rather boring unless your mad about Space Exploration or Mars. It is in four parts titled Commercial Mars Exploration and Development.

[miankd]

Great piece. Now that the falcon 9 has flown impeccably, SueVeneer and the other morons can suck it.

[tjohn6041]

The main problem is that it would be a one-way trip, the Dragonlab has no resources for water on the return flight, which brings me to an even greater issue: Propulsion. The Dragonlab has inadequate fuel and thrust to boost it out of Lunar Orbit.

Also the Falcon 9 has not yet launched, so we have no indication of the safety of the vehicle, except SpaceX's past records, which have failed four of five times.

[ti994apc]

@tjohn6041 NOT CORRECT. Falcon9 is 2 for 2. 

[ti994apc]

@tjohn6041 Dragon has the same pressurized space as Orion, can carry more cargo, and has better heat shield that Orion so it is actually better suited to do the job than Orion.

[MrSueVeneer]

They will eventually iron out the problems. Your experience may be very positive and if you want it, I hope you get it. The company left me with such a bitter taste in my mouth, I do not like to waste my time and I felt like I had. I am slowly getting over it ,but will hate them for a little while longer. I personally know about 12 people that left because of the backstabbing and total incompetence of coworkers. People actually leaving a company that offers stock options, almost unheard of.

[spacemooseireland]

@MrSueVeneer Thanks for the Info, I'm not an Aerospace Engineer myself with an education in space science, space and society and experience in space business planning and marketing. Would still gladly work for SpaceX since ill take anything I can get, but my dream career is in space tourism for a company like Space Adventures, XCOR or Virgin Galactic. I'm making a movie on Commercial Mars Exploration and Tourism to show at the Mars Society Convention this August, You should drop by.

[spacemooseireland]

@MrSueVeneer As a person who would be happy to get a job working for SpaceX in the future it would be good to know about the failings of the corporation, Please tell me what are the reasons for your dislike of SpaceX? With such strong feelings there must be some good reasons, Explain them in detail for the public to see, I wont erase your comments.

[MrSueVeneer]

Spacemooseireland Your movie sucks cock like your whore grandmother. Inspired by Spacex? Founded by a draft Dodger college dropout piece of shit immigrant. Spacex sux, get a clue moron.

[spacemooseireland]

@MrSueVeneer You might want to think twice about commenting on movies before you buy yourself a brain. Do your homework before you make comments about movies.

[gucker07]

the ares v is dead and that's a good thing. nasa messed up the original concept of a shuttle derived vehicle so badly with the ares I, they would have done the same with the heavy lifter.

btw: i'm sure you meant the falcon 9, not the falcon 1. the latter is a very small rocket not capable of performing manned flights. the spacex rocket in the video is a falcon 9.

[spacemooseireland]

The Ares V might be dead but NASA will eventually have to develop some kind of heavy lift launch vehicle and it might look like the Ares V. So that's why I used the movie. Also I did mean the Falcon-9 that will be the booster that launches the SpaceX Dragon. Do you know if NASA has canceled the Altair Program? If they have not then NASA will need something like the Ares V to get it to the Moon. I just made this movie by cutting two movies together. Best I could do with the media I could find.

[gucker07]

@spacemooseireland

altair was part of project constellation and that program was cancelled with the budget proposal for 2011. but congress still has to way in. it's very unlikely that altair will survive though. but maybe some form of shuttle derived vehicle. if you're looking for good info check out nasawatch . com and nasaspaceflight . com
