Elon Musk Build This GENIUS SECRET Starship in 5 Days JUST REVEALED
This has never been seen before from falcon 1 to recent starship prototypes like SN11 and prepared for the next starship prototypes SN15, SN16 to SN20.
SpaceX has been making rockets at an unprecedented speed, so how does SpaceX build starships so quickly. To get the answer for this we come to the four secrets behind SpaceX-built starships so quickly.
1. Spacex Has Abundant Funding
When it comes to rocket-making, the first major stumbling block is obtaining money. It is impossible to tell if Spacex is profitable because the company is privately owned so the books aren’t available for inspection.
Most analysts on the other hand agree that Spacex must be making money by now. SpaceX has 4.2 billion dollars in contracts from NASA alone and its recent success in cracking the defense contract business breaking the united launch alliance’s military monopoly means more capital.
All of this is on top of SpaceX’s private satellite launch contracts, giving it a total of 60 launches at a value of around 7 billion. That is a lot of money for a company whose key selling point is that it can launch satellites for a third of the price of the competition freeing up a lot of cash for sales for comparison.
The falcon which was recently launched cost roughly 500 million dollars to develop while the space launch system has spent 4.8 billion dollars. There is also a lot of talk about when and if Elon Musk will go public and Wall Street is hoping he will.
To achieve his goals and build a city on Mars, Musk has recently shocked the world when he sold all the properties he owns to fund his space project. Such a decision shows how Musk is sure and confident to get his dream come true.
2. Saving money
As we mentioned earlier SpaceX launches satellites for a third of the price of the competition. Now that is because of their smart material selection besides SpaceX rockets are reusable well. Almost all large rockets have used aluminum, titanium, or some kind of carbon composite.
In our history of space exploration, this was also supposed to be the case for a starship. But at the start of 2019 SpaceX decided that stainless steel was a better option for several reasons.
Starting with cost Elon Musk describes that carbon fiber costs 135 dollars per kilogram. But unfortunately, 35 of the material is normally lost in the construction process, meaning that each kilogram of carbon fiber that makes it onto the final rocket costs upward of 200. While stainless steel costs just three dollars per kilogram.
In addition, stainless steel is much more durable than carbon fiber. Elon Musk claims that aluminum and carbon fiber can withstand temperatures ranging from 150 to 180 degrees Celsius. You may be able to get it to 200 degrees Celsius.
But that’s usually the upper limit; stainless steel on the other hand can withstand temperatures ranging from 820 to 870 degrees Celsius. This is crucial because rockets must be able to withstand extremely high and extremely low temperatures while in flight.
Large tanks unlike smaller parts could not be produced in one piece using a forging or extrusion process. SpaceX made considerable efforts to achieve this including the early implementation of friction stir welding for reducing the amount of inspection time required per stage with its manufacturing robotics. SpaceX can now take raw metal and turn out the majority of the booster stage with minimal touch labor.
Another cost-reducing factor is reusability. The booster of the rocket can be used over and over again with very little effort. This is the polar opposite to all other rockets which are all designed to be used only once. This is both inefficient and costly. Next up is the construction process of spaces; the rockets are usually constructed in broad daylight in a clean environment in Boca Chica.
3. The Excellent Teams
When you think of a rocket you probably imagine big dedicated machinery that handles a lot of work. The starships on the other hand are completely opposite.
The engineers at SpaceX are not only responsible for designing and maintaining the rocket but also for designing and maintaining the rocket-making systems.
In the development of starship, prototypes engineers produced a knuckle seamer or revolutionary welding tool designed to speed up starship dome tank production and boost weld efficiency. They have also created a shielded x-ray computer to check the accuracy of their welding. The new shielded x-ray machine could save teams time by allowing them to perform weld inspections in a matter of hours.
