Does Starship Have Too Many Engines?
Today we're diving into the age-old question: "How many engines is too many?" From Saturn-V to SpaceX's Starship, we explore the evolution of rocket design and the surprising statistics behind engine reliability.
TL;DW: More engines mean more failures, but more engines also mean more redundancy. Through super-advanced analysis (random numbers in Matlab) I figure out where the cut-off is, and when adding more engines ends up being a net benefit. Spoiler: SpaceX is a competent engineering company... go figure.

The Biggest Rockets To Ever Fly

Today we're looking at every single rocket to ever break the record for "the world's biggest rocket." This record can be broken into physical and performance-based metrics, I chose to use mass, height, payload mass, and thrust for this video. A special thanks to the following for collecting footage of many of these rockets: SpaceX: Starship SciNews: Sputnik 1 International Astronautical Federat...

Elon Musk recently tweeted that they would be reworking the next flight vehicles so the ship could fire its engines while it was still attached to the booster. Before we watch the next Starship launch live, let's break this down with a pr...

    1)Посмотрите экспансию. Достаточно системы с постояннымиускорением. Вы сначала разгоняетесь до цели, на половины пути разворачиваете корабль и тормозите с тем же ускорением. Таким образом вектор тяги всегда направлены в одну сторону, прям как в лифте. Бах, у вас искусственная гравитация. Если хотите, чтобы было как на земле, то нужно ускоряться 9.8 км,/ч но это пока не достижимо. Зато можно постепенно кскоряться с помощью ионых двигателей

I think he even mentioned that triangles were the strongest, but would require a lot more material to construct, and so for the amount of material in a pattern that takes up the least amount of wasted space, hexagons were ideal. I'm not saying you are wrong about anything. I'm just saying that he qualified his 'strongest 'shape with conditions. You seemed to imply that he declared hexagon the strongest shape period, and I didn't get that impression.

    I think that we ought to at least send a spaceship up to do some real tests in space. The testing we have done on Earth is fighting against the real gravity of our planet, producing I think some skewing of the gravity data. In any case, if we were to provide a spinning environment for astronauts, they could perhaps retire to their beds for a good night's sleep in artificial gravity. This might make long voyages more tolerable because at least they could lie down as they sleep, maybe feeling more refreshed to work out the day's activities.

    Regarding using thrusters to spin up the tethered artificial gravity, if you use a rigid truss couldn't you instead do it with a reaction wheel? More generally, regarding the issues about stability can't many of these be handled with active control using reaction wheels?

    • @ConHathy
      @ConHathy 5 дней назад

      The problem with reaction wheels is that they are inherently less mass efficient. Rocket exhaust moves at kilometers per second; to match that performance the wheel would have to be as wide as the entire vehicle and spin at kilometers per second as well, which is not practical at all

I wish the world had seen a successful flight of that thing. That being said, the fact that they never got it right in four attempts really shows in contrast the greatness of the Saturn V. What's crazy is how different Artemis will be than the Apollo era. Looking back at Apollo, its the Saturn V that stands out as THE rocket. But, for Artemis, I imagine most people will not know what the SLS is, even after we land on the moon again. Instead, it'll be Starship and its booster that everyone will think of when they think of us going to the moon a second time. Even though it, as of now, will only land humans on the moon, not launch them there. Don't get me wrong, the SLS is great. I just think it just won't be the rocket that cements itself in the culture at large when it comes to the Artemis missions. And that's because of what this video shows: the biggest, most powerful rockets -- especially when successful, make the biggest impressions.
