Everyday Astronaut

Everyday Astronaut

Rocket science. A term we all use to describe something incredibly difficult. Trying to grasp all of the concepts involved in rocket science can be incredibly intimidating.

My name’s Tim Dodd but I'm better known as the Everyday Astronaut. Recently I fell head over heels in love with spaceflight. My appreciation and curiosity for the subject grew into an obsession. Before you knew it, all I wanted to do was learn more and more... the more I learned, the more I wanted to share what was making me so excited.

But as someone who dropped out of college and has no technical background or degree… I really felt unqualified for the job of explaining rocket science to anyone. But the fact of the matter is, if I can learn this stuff, anyone can.

Rocket science is awesome, and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to be excited.

Everyday Astronaut. Bringing space down to Earth for everyday people.

    Hey yall, My friend is sadly terminally ill and has a couple months left. We’re big spaceX fans and he’d like to see a launch before he becomes immobile in the next months or so. I was thinking the best chance would be to go to Florida to watch the falcon heavy on June 25 but I’m open to other suggestions as we would be broken hearted with a scrubbed launch. Any tips on how to best catch a launch(any launch before the end of July) would be appreciated. We’re flying in from Canada and I’m thinking we have enough petty cash to stay in the area for 5 days. Thanks in advance guys!

    If you aren't going to be reusing your rockets, going for the lowest possible cost for a given payload capacity is the best option in my eyes. If you are going to be reusing your rockets, then going for lowest weight and highest performance design would be better as you can get the benefits of the more expensive tech over the course of more than one launch.

    Vertical integration is great for development and iteration, but once the product is ready, their cost structure will remain high, given the low volumes in this industry and cost per tonne will remain higher than RFA, I would imagine. The sleek CNC milled AC outlets (which could just be reinforced holes with a slanted off the shelf pipe section welded to them to direct the venturi, potentially) for example stand is the starkest of contrasts to RFA's aversion to CNC parts. So with this vehicle, my money would be on RFA, Nevertheless ISAR's manufacturing setup is wildly impressive, especially for such a young company, and they might build the knowledge to advance to more complex vehicles more quickly. Great content.

    Firstly, in most cases, you can't use car parts for aviation or aerospace Without the company getting approval from the FAA, EASA, CAA or whatever authority. For the FAA you need a Form FAA 8130-3 - Authorized Release Certificate, Airworthiness Approval Tag. There's a lot of extra expense.

    I understand the importance of considering factors like temperature, vibration resistance, and weight when it comes to rocket components. This is similar to why I wouldn't interchange parts between my plane and a car.

    Bob Parkinson of the British interplanetary society who worked on the UK rocket programme once talked me through why Hydrogen peroxide engines had a number of advantages. First you can start them on the pad by simply using the H2O2 to run through the catalyst bed with tank pressure and start the pump. The H202 is running through the cooling channels and with the small amount of water you need to keep the temperature down for the catalyst bed you have good cooling. As the pump speeds up the rocket is essentially a monoprop. The thrust is less than the mass of the rocket so you don't need any hold down clamps. You then open up the fuel valve and as the fuel hits the hot H2O2 exhaust it ignites spontaneously. The thrust jumps and yo have lift off! All the H2O2 goes to the engine, so it is closed cycle that helps efficiency. The H2O2 is much more dense than LOX and with a high oxidiser/fuel ratio the size of the tanks are smaller that results in a better thrust to weight than you may expect. The H2O2 is also fairly benign so long as you keep it contamination free. Any spills you can just wash away with water.
