The Best Russian Rocket is Completely SMASHED By SpaceX & Elon Musk....
From trampolines to broomsticks, these are what Dmitry Rogozin named for the SpaceX rocket.
So, what should we call their rocket when the best Russian rocket has been completely smashed by SpaceX & Elon Musk.
Let's expose this in today's episode of SpaceX Fans:
To start, no one can deny that Russia is the cradle of the space rocket industry. This is perhaps the reason for Rogozin's extravagance and overbearingness.
They sent the first man and woman in space, performed the first lunar flyby using Luna 1, or launched a space flight with more than one crew member through Voskhod 1.
However, the long-maintained dominance of Russian space tech is being overshadowed by Elon Musk. All the glory of Russia is a thing of the past.
SpaceX has changed the spaceflight landscape during its two decades of existence. The company, which Elon Musk founded on March 14, 2002, has made rocket reuse routine, a breakthrough that allows for cheaper and more frequent launches. SpaceX has launched about 150 orbital missions over the company's first 20 years.
Thanks to SpaceX, the United States is once again sending astronauts to orbit from American soil. The company has also kicked off a new phase of space tourism and potentially brought the settlement of Mars a step closer to reality, among other accomplishments.
Now, to make this story more objective, let's dive into each aspect:
First, the most important factor is safety:
According to Wikipedia, amid its long run, the Soyuz-U rocket had a streak of 112 consecutive successful launches between July 1990 and May 1996. However, this period includes the Cosmos 2243 launch in April 1993. This mission should more properly be classified as a failure. According to noted space scientist Jonathan McDowell, the control system of the rocket failed during the final phase of the Blok-I burn, and the payload was auto-destructed.
Taking this failure into account, the Soyuz-U had a run of 100 successful launches from 1983 to 1986. This happens to be the exact same number of consecutive successes by the Delta II rocket, originally designed and built by McDonnell Douglas and later flown by Boeing and United Launch Alliance. Overall the Delta II rocket launched 155 times, with two failures. Its final flight, in 2018, was the rocket's 100th consecutive successful mission.
The Falcon 9 rocket has now launched a total of 142 times. Of those, one mission failed the launch of an International Space Station supply mission for NASA, in June 2015.
So, the Falcon 9 has now exceeded both the Soyuz-U and Delta II rockets for consecutive mission successes, and apparently, its low flight insurance costs reflect this.
What seems remarkable about all of this is that the Falcon 9 amassed this safety record at the very same time SpaceX was experimenting with and demonstrating reuse. Now it has pushed some of its boosters to fly 11 flights, and SpaceX has never lost a mission on a reused first stage, even though founder Elon Musk and other officials have explicitly said they are pushing the technology to find its limits.
That would seem to be a fairly powerful argument in favor of the safety of reusable launches.
