Incredible precision. I forgot how close those buildings are to the landing pad...

Just a fan render, but super cool interior design concept for Starship. Significant upgrade to the Apollo missions.

Damn - another launch this afternoon? Three launches in four days is kind of nutty.

40 Starlink satellites wiped out by a geomagnetic storm
The satellites deployed on Thursday were significantly impacted by a geomagnetic storm on Friday. These storms cause the atmosphere to warm and atmospheric density at our low deployment altitudes to increase. In fact, onboard GPS suggests the escalation speed and severity of the storm caused atmospheric drag to increase up to 50 percent higher than during previous launches. The deorbiting satellites pose zero collision risk with other satellites and by design demise upon atmospheric reentry. https://www.spacex.com/updates/ |

I watched the 2nd season of Space Force over the weekend and they had named all of their satellites after 70's rock bands.

SLS is good, in a general sense, I suppose. It's good to have a rocket with moon capability. But is this really the future? Disposable boosters?
SpaceX just seems to be way ahead of everyone else at this point. |

If Starship works, SLS will almost certainly be cancelled. But until we're sure it won't be a flop, I don't blame NASA for having at least SOMETHING working in parallel.
