>those shitty traces

amazing how we were able to create such wonders in the 60's but now can barely manage to create a system that can launch a rocket into space and land back down safely.

serious question, wtf happened with technology during the 70's till now? what caused missile and rocket science to slow down? and more importantly, space? why hasn't America planted a damn flag on mars yet or built a station the moon? let alone low earth orbit hotels. even if its for the rich?

Space travel isn't electronics heavy, its main cost is both in manufacturing low-tolerance, big ass pieces of aluminium and steel with complex and strict requirements and small production runs, and all the extremely high skill human effort required in research, design, planning and executing.
None of those things have had massive reductions in cost and performance increases like electronics have had. And the government and populace are not interested in wasting money just to send scientific experiments of questionable value to the moon.
That and maybe engineering culture has dwindled a lot in the US, the job prospects for engineers and skilled people in general are much shittier now that they were back then, the jews have made sure to demoralize smart white men by both shitting up the job market for them and putting people in charge who at worst hate them and at best don't give a fuck about anything except keeping their job.

What do you mean? Beauty of tech isn't related to when it was created. See steampunk as an example.

For me, one of the craziest and most beautiful things is mechanical targeting computers. They achieve a ridiculous level of sophistication using only moving parts to solve multivariate calculus in real time, and weren't replaced until long after computers became popular, because they were better for a good while.

There's nothing shitty about it. There's nothing special about having rectangular traces, it's just the default because it requires less work to go from point a to point b on a grid.

>Space travel isn't electronics heavy, its main cost is both in manufacturing low-tolerance, big ass pieces of aluminium and steel with complex and strict requirements and small production runs
Space travel is everything heavy. Electronics are enormously expensive compared to regular electronics. Hell, even actual space grade duct tape is stupid expensive. These costs are not only due to the small production runs, but also come from the certifications they come with: engineers must be absolutely sure that everything they build will behave as predicted simply because once in space it can't be fixed, and producers charge a hefty premium to certify what they sell is within strict nominal parameters, with documentation that follows step by step the production of the item they're selling. This is particularly critical with electronics, especially processors, because not only they're custom made, but also they have to be literal golden sample (and again, it must be certified), and the only way to get one is through a big production run that goes entirely discarded.

>amazing how we were able to create such wonders in the 60's but now can barely manage
Also behold the Blackbird.

1960's: Gary Powers was shot down in 1960. The prototype took to the skies in 1964 and it routinely hammered across Soviet airspace in 1968.

Today: F-16 is 50 years old. F-35 has been decades in the work and is declared "operational" and only allegedly flown in anger by Israel, not the US. Operations in the West is mainly sitting parked on a runway, looking ugly.

This really is a disaster. I met a guy who worked on the space race (Mercury or Gemini, not sure which, but not Apollo) and it sure was a different era. It was the few, the competent and the quiet. And they delivered. Today we have press officers in spades delivering garbage, and Kelly Johnson's memory is being violated by L-M making press statements about a SR-72 that is unlikely ever to leave the glossy paper posters.

Nothing happened. We spent the 1980-2000 doing research and experiments in space. We gathered a lot of data and learned a shit ton in that time that has prepared us for where we are now and where we will be going. We laid a foundation for the future with it

Curved traces are technically superior to straight ones

There's nothing shitty about squiggly traces. It's easy to draw them by hand and it's not detrimental to anything. Right angle traces is just an artifact of autorouting done by a program, it's easier to write a program that operates on a rectangular grid and it's easier to figure out routing paths programmatically if angles and directions are constrained. Having exactly parallel traces actually increases self interference, and sharp angles are harder to etch properly.

That picture presents a false equivalence. The top half shows mission control during live operations, the bottom half shows a PR stunt. Now, granted, the all-women photo is politically driven, but that's beside the point: if you look at any modern day photo of a mission control room during actual operation (pic related, it's a screen of the InSight mission control during the critical moment of Mars landing) you'll still see a room full of engineers. Nowadays nothing stops women from entering STEM (I'd say they're encouraged, against their predisposition to go into bullshit faculties, due to the better job prospects), but they still make out a minority of the overall engineering population, and that's what you see in this picture.

Go back to /a/ or wherever you came from you degenerate weeb pedo scum.
And don't pretend to be interested in shit of which you haven't learned the bare minimum.

>due to the better job prospects
Hahahaha. Yeah, I'm sure the opressed Taiwanese women studies has better job prospects than engineering.
Pro tip: it's not because of better job prospects, it's because they have a lower IQ than men. No, it's not just an issue of standard deviation, they actually have a lower average.

My point was that better electronics doesn't decrease cost of space travel as long as you can crunch some light numbers as evidentiated by Apollo, anything more advanced is just for a slightly better UI.
Maybe for Apollo the computers were a big part of R&D, sure. But for a modern orbital mission the cost of the electronics both on the spacecraft and on the ground is probably less than 5% of the total cost, and even if the chips are expensive they still got cheaper, but everything else stayed the same.
On the other hand for things like say medical imaging, weather prediction or even managerial tasks having cheap computing power makes the whole thing way cheaper.

You dumb idiot, you're talking about an entirely different thing. I'm talking about quality certifications: the producers absolutely guarantees that -for instance- a duct tape will have a End Of Life a very precise amount of gigapascal of tensile stenght and proves it with all the documentation about the production process. What you stupid waste of internet connection are thinking about is the safety regulations which has nothing to do with engineering.

And your autistic ass can't into jokes.

We [that's not just the USA, it's most of mankind] really only want satellites up there, and the odd science mission, and we're doing that.

> wtf happened with technology during the 70's till now?
An amazing amount of progress happened with computers but also materials and so on.

The planet's logistics network with its ships, trains, trucks and airplanes is increasingly amazing, too.

> and more importantly, space?
More efficient exploration with satellites.

> why hasn't America planted a damn flag on mars yet
You might want to fix your own infrastructure first, reduce emissions, care for like ~half the population that is in pretty severe financial and/or health trouble, and so on. It'll help far more people and doesn't have the risk of fucking up the world's current relative stability.

user, you have a weird taste in board design, but at least it doesn't have the T2 botnet and planned obsolescence chip

How does that not just short the circuit?

europoors have some bretty good scientists, problem is they have even more bureaucracy and germans pretty much own all the good industries.
Like consider rocket building - except for SpaceX who bucked the trend - every rocket in USA is made in Alabama, because the 'bama mafia controls space shit.
Germany basically has a political stranglehold on anything where government funding is involved so no one else in the EU can even try unless it's fully private with only private customers.

What's the vision behind some rich people maybe going to a luxury golf club & hotel on Mars and just how is it a better idea than fixing and upgrading spaceship earth for now?

I guess technically not doing a richfag space golf club can be considered having one vision less, but I think you get the point.


BTW, personally I think sending biological humans out into space is a problem anyhow. We can not deal with the timespans and hazards involved. Human / superhuman intelligence in a machine has a much better chance at getting around in space.
