  6. PID has been a viable option for large hydraulic systems fro a long time. I used them with ships autopilot and fin stabilizers for years. Fin stabilizers are large, like sterships fins. Accelerometers come into plat as well. This is a solvable problem.

  17. Well, we still test those cans in cryogenics conditions. How passengers will cope with this?. Many launches and the space garbage is becoming a huge problem . Is this industry not responsible to fix this and clean their mess?. But no, you have to launch more to clean it and make even more garbage.

  24. Consider catching a modified Falcon 9 booster that is built out to the specs of a regular booster to see the coordination of the catch and the tower.
    One might use one of the older boosters launched to 10,000 feet and then landed in the tower. That would prove the catch and the older booster if lost would not be as big a loss.

  31. You do know that the Like button is just some photons on my screen? If I smashed it, I would destroy my display. If it's all the same to you, I'll just click on the Like button.

  39. "That's the problem with high-risk engineering."
    No – that's the problem with SpaceX – a company, run by a moronic criminal stock manipulator. (He'll be bankrupt in inder 4 years, and in prison in under 7)
    Blue Origin on the other hand, is run by a sober individual, who ensured that the very first flight (note: ZERO test flights!) of their BE4 engines resulted in…
    …an absolutely flawless launch and 100% success of the launch system.

    Contrast this to the incredibly stupid "suck it and see" approach where billions of dollars are burned because of a sick narcissistic personality disorder.

  40. I am wondering if a couple steel cables in parallel would be strong enough but still provide a way to disperse the energy of the starship on landing. I don't know, I was just considering a second possibility for catching starship if the chopsticks don't work out.
