Written by I have a gut feeling based on what we’ve seen over the last year that we’ll see a starship go to the moon by the end of 2025. This will help pave the way for HLS and the things that need to happen for that like propellant transfer on orbit as well as propellant temperature […]
Two employees from NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia recently earned the prestigious Silver Snoopy award, an honor given to NASA employees and contractors across the agency for outstanding achievements related to astronaut safety or mission success. Dr. Shih-Yung Lin and Dr. Peter Parker received the awards during a Space Flight Awareness (SFA) award […]
SpaceX wants to ramp up flights of its Starship megarocket next year, and regulations apparently won’t stand in the way. On Wednesday (Nov. 20), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a draft environmental assessment (EA) of Starship operations at Starbase, SpaceX‘s facility in South Texas. The 160-page document, which you can read here, approves […]
Our changing climate continues to contribute to another record-setting month, with temperature extremes and drought expansion across much of the US. Close to 80 climate stations across the country set new records reporting that October 2024 was the all-time driest month, according to a recent statement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Major […]
A star cloaked in an egg-shaped cocoon has been revealed in the first detailed images of a star beyond the Milky Way. Until now, stars in other galaxies have been visible as little more than points of light, even when observed using telescopes. Now, thanks to the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), […]
Planets are thought to form within disks of dust and gas encircling newborn stars. But this cloudy environment tends to shield developing planets from view, preventing astronomers from observing their formation directly. Now, through a stroke of good luck, a still-forming planet has been detected early in its birth process, thanks to what may have […]
Looking to chat with folks who work in in-space manufacturing. I’m working on an idea to support these operations and would love the insight. Thanks! submitted by /u/santiago24shah [comments] Source link

SpaceX plans to launch 24 more of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida’s Space Coast this morning (Nov. 21). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Starlink spacecraft is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station during a nearly four-hour window that opens at 11:07 a.m. EST (1607 GMT). SpaceX will webcast the […]
