Booster 15 and Ship 34 successfully lifted off from OLM Pad A in Starbase Texas at 5:30 PM local time. Booster 15 had a nominal ascent and despite losing two engines during boostback and one during the landing burn, it was successfully caught by the chopsticks. Ship 34 experienced a RUD of one of its RVAC engines towards the end of its ascent burn leading to the loss of the ship similar to flight 7.

What does this have to do with Space policy other than the occasional involvement of rocket engines?
Are kilns space policy because they have heat shielding? Are Cessna‘s space policy because they have landing gear like the space shuttle does? Are Estes model rockets space policy because they have… Solid rocket motors? | r/spacepolicy | comment | r/SpacePolicy | 2025-03-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLTnZyWU00TWRrSnBydEh4SXlPRS11S0ZiWjREYk96dVQ4MFU5VzlsSFpjdTdxNDByaDRXZlBrT0t2N3NFSjE5eWFVZzlTdzB3VXVXTkYyR2hoaC1zSXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLTVU0QWxTVDBRMEtrQzcxek05NjZQRDJtQ2pXRjYyTzJ1T1AzUl8taFcwMkFTNUJraUgzRG9WUVdBekdlbU9aZWt1WjU4ZlVpSTI4ZWF6OEpIeDVIN0w4dWFxdkxTMG54clBlLURRb0lEcjJDN0U5RmRlUmo5a29qUkYwUHBZbHo4WG1lRjB4OTlyRWJtLUNMY3dEV2ViY1RkVWhwNS0xOXNqQ0ZoQW95OTJ3UVpZSmU1ZUJYSVJ3QndPb2sxTml5WWVZM05YQjdGM3BERXcwNGJWRVA1dz09 |

I caught a video of yesterday’s launch IFT-8 from the beach in Corpus Christi and something seems wayyyyyy off. I was trying to reach out to some of the popular YouTube guys like everyday astronaut, Felix, Marcus House to send the video to since I don’t want to post it publicly yet to see if they can make sense of what I caught on my phone but I can’t seem to figure out how to directly get ahold of any of them on social media. Not that they are the only ones that are capable of figuring this out but does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could reach out to them or someone in that community?
Edit:
Okay so I started recording about 30 seconds or so after the beginning of the launch and from my location I could see the exhaust trail but I didn’t think I could see the ship. But right when I was about to stop recording I randomly happened to see it almost directly above me (but more out over the gulf) and what I didn’t realize was that the recording caught what looked like the booster headed back to land also (I realized this only when I was reviewing the recording).
The only thing is that what looked to be the booster was wayyyyy ahead of starship as if there were 2 rockets passing each other and there’s no way the booster could have been past starship since when they separate the booster kind of curls off to the side and then heads back once it manages to change its trajectory. Basically there isn’t a single point in time that the booster would ever be ahead of starship let alone like wayyy ahead of it.
I thought of all possibilities in which this actually could be the booster but nothing makes sense.
1. If it was a perspective issue then the booster (which we all know is much bigger than starship) would be wayyyyyy closer to me than starship and because of that it would look appear much larger than starship but they literally look like the exact same size in the recording.
2. By the time I was able to physically see starship in person overhead I don’t think the separation would have even occurred yet. When I actually got starship in the frame the whole launch was at I’m guessing 2 minutes max and separation happened (looking at the launch online) at around 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I could be off some but to me it doesn’t seem like If I was off that it would be enough to actually matter.
3. The craft in question was way ahead of starship (which would be physically impossible) headed back in the opposite direction at what seemed like the same speed as starship.
4. Both craft looked pretty much exactly the same. They even look the exact same size which is odd since the booster is considerably larger than starship and if it was the booster headed back to land it would have been much closer to me than starship making it appear much much larger than starship which it did not.
The whole thing just seems really weird unless it’s just some insanely crazy perspective optical illusion type of thing and in that case… cool!! I managed to get a really cool video when I didn’t even expect to see anything from where I was over 100 miles away from the actual launch location.

Sir Richard Branson has said he would “dearly love” his Virgin Galactic firm to send tourists on spaceflights from UK soil, with Cornwall’s spaceport bosses welcoming the chance to hold talks.
The Virgin founder expressed an ambition on Tuesday to speak to the government about launching crewed space planes from a UK runway, noting that such talks had already begun with Italian officials.
The UK Space Agency and Spaceport Cornwall, the only operational site in Britain with a licence for “horizontal” space launches for rocket-carrying aircraft or space planes, welcomed the prospect of making Branson’s ambition a reality.
Since its first commercial spaceflight in June 2023, Virgin Galactic has conducted 12 crewed flights, taking paying passengers to the edge of space, allowing them to see the curvature of the Earth and experience weightlessness

Yes, though it’s not like I could put some ‘curse’ onto them - in fact I did comment on what I thought was an underlying problem before ITF7, and then again before ITF8, and it appears I was not too far from the truth.
The issue is with the geometry of the three new downcomers, and their inclination to excessive vibrations as the LOX drains away in the LOX tank, and so can no longer damp down the downcomer vibrations. | r/spacexstarship | comment | r/SpaceXStarship | 2025-03-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLeS0zTndtcjdsV0tudnR1ZUF2Mjkzb3EtbzRaSjBHdi1LUnA4VHpRWkNUU0VMa0U2aFBmbEZrVTlTZmhQWFB6Z2xXNkdtdkc2MXhrVGNQdkpHbU5pYmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLWi1LWVZyRVFxc0Qxb0ZMc3J4d3RaU1AyYkJHaTRaVHBFWG1vVGFVWnlVdzJ5WHhZM1hra3Vja2o1Vzlfd2dtTWx0TFV4WDlwVEJRWEs1ZmR3U293WjA1alBfNkFPMHEzbTFiX0ZJMVRBY1pLZmJEdGpaSWVKd3gtQV84eWhXZVlOT3lRTGFqRGtRVmxTSm1DWTVVWS1TbHVEb3ZLTjdBZl9ZUmFlalJIWG9OOS16a3ZfLWhoclRmSmp1M25UNEZz |

## FAQ
1. **Flight 10** (B16 and an unknown Ship (probably S37)). Likely set back at least a month or two due to [S36 exploding during prop load for a static fire test on June 18th 2025](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlSrcjnAN7Q). B16's [Successful static fire](https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1931101519601963340), June 6th 2025.
1. **IFT-9** (B14/S35) Launch completed on 27 May 2025. This was Booster 14's second flight and it mostly performed well, until it exploded when the engines were lit for the landing burn (SpaceX were intentionally pushing it a lot harder this time). Ship S35 made it to SECO but experienced multiple leaks, eventually resulting in loss of attitude control that caused it to tumble wildly, so the engine relight test was cancelled. Prior to this the payload bay door wouldn't open so the dummy Starlinks couldn't be deployed; the ship eventually reentered but was in the wrong orientation, causing the loss of the ship. [Re-streamed video of SpaceX's live stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOJKZYSOsGs).
1. **IFT-8** (B15/S34) Launch completed on March 6th 2025. Booster (B15) was successfully caught but the Ship (S34) experienced engine losses and loss of attitude control about 30 seconds before planned engines cutoff, later it exploded. [Re-streamed video of SpaceX's live stream](https://youtu.be/wQG053ogu20?t=483). [SpaceX summarized the launch on their web site](https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-8). More details in the [/r/SpaceX Launch Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1ivwclp/rspacex_flight_8_official_launch_discussion/).
1. **IFT-7** (B14/S33) Launch completed on 16 January 2025. [Booster caught successfully](https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1880024050048589841), but "[Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly](https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1880033318936199643) during its ascent burn." Its debris field was [seen reentering over Turks and Caicos](https://x.com/deankolson87/status/1880026759133032662). [SpaceX published a root cause analysis](https://www.spacex.com/updates/#flight-7-report) in its IFT-7 report on 24 February, identifying the source as an oxygen leak in the "attic," an unpressurized area between the LOX tank and the aft heatshield, caused by harmonic vibration.
1. **IFT-6** (B13/S31) [Launch completed on 19 November 2024](https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-6). Three of [four stated launch objectives](https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1guyh35/starship_flight_6_objectives/) met: Raptor restart in vacuum, successful Starship reentry with steeper angle of attack, and daylight Starship water landing. Booster soft landed in Gulf after catch called off during descent - a SpaceX update stated that ["automated health checks of critical hardware on the launch and catch tower triggered an abort of the catch attempt"](https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-6).
1. **Goals for 2025** [first Version 3 vehicle launch at the end of the year, Ship catch hoped to happen in several months (Propellant Transfer test between two ships is now hoped to happen in 2026)](https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=62942.msg2690090#msg2690090)
1. **Currently approved maximum launches** 10 between 07.03.2024 and 06.03.2025: A [maximum of five overpressure events from Starship intact impact and up to a total of five reentry debris or soft water landings in the Indian Ocean within a year of](https://www.faa.gov/media/76836) NMFS provided concurrence published [on March 7, 2024](https://www.faa.gov/media/76841)

S36 | Massey's Test Site | Destroyed | March 11th: Section AX:4 moved into MB2 and stacked - this completes the stacking of S36 (stacking was started on January 30th). April 26th: Rolled out to Massey's Test Site on the ship thrust simulator stand for cryo testing, also worth noting that a lot of tiles were added in a little under two weeks (starting mid April until April 26th it went from hardly any tiles to a great many tiles). April 27th: Full Cryo testing of both tanks. April 28th: Rolled back to MB2. May 20th: RVac moved into MB2. May 21st: Another RVac moved into MB2. May 29th: Third RVac moved into MB2.

June 16th: Single engine static fire test. June 18th: [Exploded during prop load for a static fire test](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlSrcjnAN7Q).
S37 | Mega Bay 2 | Cryo tests completed, remaining work ongoing | April 15th: Aft section AX:4 moved into MB2 and welded in place, so completing the stacking process (stacking inside MB2 started on March 15th). May 29th: Rolled out to Massey's Test Site for cryo+thrust puck testing. Currently the heatshield is very incomplete, also no aft or forward flaps. May 30th: Three rounds of Cryo testing: both tanks filled during the first test; during the second test methane and header tanks filled and a partial fill of the LOX tank; for the third test both tanks filled again, methane tank eventually emptied and later the LOX tank. June 4th: Rolled back to MB2. June 17th: RVac moved into MB2, can only be for this ship.
S38 | Mega Bay 2 | Stacking completed, remaining work ongoing | March 29th: from a [Starship Gazer photo](https://x.com/StarshipGazer/status/1905816162111262815) it was noticed that the Nosecone had been stacked onto the Payload Bay. April 22nd: Pez Dispenser moved into MB2. April 28th: Partially tiled Nosecone+Payload Bay stack moved into MB2. May 1st: Forward Dome section FX:4 moved into MB2. May 8th: Common Dome section CX:3 (mostly tiled) moved into MB2. May 14th: A2:3 section moved into MB2 and stacked (the section appeared to lack tiles). May 20th: Section A3:4 moved into MB2 (the section was mostly tiled). May 27th: Aft section AX:4 moved into MB2 (section is partly tiled, but they are mostly being used to hold the ablative sheets in place), once welded to the rest of the ship that will complete the stacking of S38.

We will attempt to keep this self-post current with links and major updates, but for the most part, we expect the community to supply the information. This is a great place to discuss Starship development, ask Starship-specific questions, and track the progress of the production and test campaigns. **Starship Development Threads are not party threads.

There’s a higher gravity on Mars which would mean less bone loss and less heart issues.

That's a fear I have, Trump's willingness to gut education, to treat climate change as bs and to threaten scientists that research things he doesn't like or things that he thinks are bs, shows that he can do the same to NASA, Trump is a lost cause and he needs to be removed from power. | r/spaceexploration | comment | r/Spaceexploration | 2025-03-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLbG9pMVI4SXRnSkpuSXJUU0NBOURVdUlySWtRemZuR3UzSGlXajViX0tNMVJyRElqSW5wZmt3X3JkV0JFWUlDOGExUkFyQmFibUlBZEEwdUlMQUp6cmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLYnR6aEl5Y2lzTWk3cXczc2NodUpHVFgxYWxsRDRDUDNTdnY2LUZfWDNwVHA5M0MzdUtmVlEtNEl0dUxBR3NmQ2VZVmE4RjVMX2RXbXA5TlRGZ1llMi1fcnozQmNwYjlTTC1aQmpVRVBmeFhTRzhuSWlRZlZhck9QelRLZUJ4RUdjRkxhLVVRUFBXWVdzdzRTT2VqcjFuRkxwWkVIclpnM3FRM1BoSDFVR24zT0pGNHA5Y0ZHSk5rQnZ6ZC1wT2VFSUZrU0o1bklaWVE0dE9Ya29hR0RVVmZVVF9wSnhaaXhILU51bVdDcTZFZz0= |

Hello :) I'll cut to the chase; I need assistance finding some primary source technical documents on the design of the thermal subsystems of the Voyager space probes and the Parker Space Probe. I searched NTRS, but for some reason, practically every document I find on there has a broken link and I can't view it.
Again, in particular I need a detailed description of the designs of the THERMAL subsystems, as I am doing a report on analysis of the solutions these teams come up with for their unique projects.

What, exactly, does the human crew of a Blue Origin New Shepard flight do? Do they perform any actions before, during or after launch that affect the flight in any way, shape or form? It's space tourism. I can't imagine they do more than ride up and ride back down. This is not to denigrate BO's technological accomplishments. It *is* rocket science. With the exception of Angela Nguyen and Aisha Bowe, though, today's flight did not boast a crew of rocket scientists. I find it hard to believe they would be given any responsibility for the performance of the mission. Can anyone clear this up? | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLa0Y2NnV0V2ZGOEVqaWMyZk8yUWRtdGlpR1h1a0hxNWVpd2NTNmxwQzk0RDFpNHZiMmhyUG1xanNWSXRoUXdJZ1p3SWRjdjJQODVFVlRyVzRvMlY1YWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLSDVGTWxKMHdnaUpzYnpLVHdkWlBKelFUOWUyU0lFNVluT05qU2xoZmJNa0hFVnU3aS16Q1hBb1psRm1Edjc4b2N3VnVsd1pGN1NBR1BXQkpwc1lOQm5Tb2ZCM2tIVzREclctcTZSQkVnYTdTOVQzN0dvOUwyT2RIcWlacEN5aF9iQm1nVUZCNlNIZmJWM0JBUi1vZ2hsZkt4cllNVzY5VXd0d3NhX0xPZ3o0TkJNSXNBUkJZcEdMbURsSGNUSG1I |

First off I’d like to thank the New Shepard crew for another safe and successful launch and landing. It never gets old.
It has to be said because it keeps marinating in my head.
Are Blues priorities changing to celebrity pleasing now…?
I get that it was good PR having all these celebrities at WT and getting interviews and whatnot, but to be honest with you guys. It just seemed like a freaking circus for the rich.
So is the Goal Millions of people living and working in space?

What does it say? THEY DON'T CARE!
Blue only cares about the "rich and famous," not ordinary people like you and me. Don't be fooled by its fake mission "for the benefit of Earth," and it's actually "for the benefit of the rich and famous".
99% of people in this world, like you and me, are working hard to serve those 1% "rich and famous." This may also explain why Blue mistreats its workers: why so much toxicity, backstabbing, credit stealing, bootlicking... And no one cares about ordinary workers, even if it only takes a tiny effort, like lifting a finger.
Mr. Bezos, you have billions and on top of the world. Even with immense wealth and worldly success, one thing remains unattainable: the ability to turn back time and relive cherished moments with family and loved ones. It is deeply regrettable that irreplaceable family photos, a precious record of these memories, were lost due to the careless handling of personal items at the workplace. I sincerely hope no one else has to experience the pain of such an irreversible loss of their personal history. | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-04-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLcTdkYV9IMVFmYmJnRlpqaE50TzFHTnhpdjJZVGxtVml1b0NqaE5vZG5UY3J6eTl5RzhRN1dYc3FNc0tMellMdHlZbko5WUk3Vk9ZdU5CbmRjRkNnOUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLNVl3clA0cDlDSm9yaVBJTTZRVkliTnJoUzNYbjdtaVo4TE9zcmRFQUMyVmwtUzh2aXM1OV8wXy1wWWRNWTBDQTJZa3N2WVNPR1UxMTVHTUpPRG53UTRKYUxxeEVFdk5jYUxLN18taGhOb285LUM5YWNDekpSdng2N3Jwb0s0QUoxTWwyRzFBZWtfZDFTM3BKcmpLU2hhSGloZC1MRHdIeEQybV9UM0VqeTdBV0NvTkRJSnNYaUlmMTRJOVhfSUIxcWV0cTloMXBiSTBfeHBoX1lvM2JYdz09 |

These BlueOrigin flights are fascinating, including the few who have filmed emotionally powerful short documentaries documenting their flights.
So I definitely wonder how much this actually costs, and what the best-estimate risk is.
Does anyone know, or are there any interesting sources that discuss this, either directly coming from Blue Origin, or otherwise being good guesses based on data?
For cost, I wonder what it is likely to be today, and/or what it is likely to be within the next 20 years.
For risk, I just wonder if there is any statistically serious estimate that takes into account both the chances of catastrophic failure (i.e. rocket blows-up), as well as the mitigation mechanisms (such as the capsule escape system). So, I wonder what the best estimate for **survival rate** is, based on all those factors.
This would give a data-based realistic estimate for space and science enthusiasts out there, on how realistic it would be for them to dream - or even plan - on embarking on this LEO journey in the relatively near future, how wealthy they'd have to be, and how much risk they'd need to accept.

OK, I hadn’t heard about this glorious all-women’s space flight until maybe the day before it was supposed to happen. If it was meant to be an inspiration to young girls to dream big, to pursue STEM courses, then why wasn’t there more media attention?
If it was about STEM, why didn’t they parade the Aerospace Engineer Aisha Bowe? Why didn’t the Civil Rights Activist Amanda Nguyen use her platform to get a message out while the iron was hot?
In a time when people are struggling to make ends meet and the divisiveness within our society is real and we could have used a strong voice to rise out of that “flying vibrator.”
(Was that intentional Jeff?)
The response we recieved from these women was failed photo ops and butthurt interviews. There wasn’t any scientific discussion or how the current administration is cutting educational programs that will damage STEM and NASA programs.
No ladies, you made it all about you.

Hi everyone! I’ve been brainstorming a theoretical concept for a space elevator and would love feedback from those with a background in physics, engineering, and or atmospheric sciences.
The core idea is a “chained” structure of gas balloon oriented chambers, each optimized for the pressure and composition of the altitude it occupies.
For example:
• Hydrogen or helium at lower altitudes for maximum lift.
• Methane, ammonia, or other suitable gases at higher altitudes where density and temperature shift.
These chambers would form a vertical chain, and the structure could potentially support a lightweight, modular “train” or cargo/passenger platform that is lifted upward by a series of other stacked and sectioned off chambers, each chamber in the platform could intake, mix, or release gas to adjust buoyancy via reaction for lift and solidification, dynamically at various layers of the atmosphere.
To counter wind sway and maintain alignment, gyroscopic stabilizers would be inserted every few links along the chain. These would counteract torque and motion by spinning in opposing directions, like mechanical reaction wheels.
Obviously, this is more of a thought experiment than a blueprint—but I’m curious about its feasibility and how real-world physics would break it down.
Open to any critiques or expansions—especially on gastronomy reactions, thermal considerations, or how this compares to traditional space elevator models! | r/spaceengineering | post | r/SpaceEngineering | 2025-04-18 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLZ05vbVBjTFdrOEw5SldSbEdqSkdjOXFuTEc5ZFNQUmxwLS1kdFJYVjBNS296OE9vQUp3U2VHYlZfYmg3b21zOXg4MnVlTldadzdvbzc0VzhXckhXSnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLWE9xdjMwSDdqbmhkS0NtUmgtN3FoTjhnM3hLYmFaNjJKbVAycWMwYUR5ZWVibmxoR1ZNMkhXcTR1dVc3SmxlaVVHLTNsM2NqX3hKTWtWS1NLazNhQW5QVDd4X2dBajNfU1hMN2d0V3VsRS1oaktONXlRR2hVaEFUaW80bU9qU1dkMW9TNU1oMXNIZl9vYlB1MUtOdWJVLWRqeXJLdERtT2ZYT3RSRk9xQ3JaM0FTRGRLNm54N0pHdVJlMW5wcUh3WGo0VXhDOG9UV0g3YWhFdFhPZUVaUT09 |

When you have just made one of the biggest breakthroughs in modern science by finding signs of potential alien life, it seems odd to immediately ask yourself: “How do we kill it?”
Dr Nikku Madhusudhan, the Cambridge astrophysicist, was not referring to the extraterrestrial algae that could be “teeming” in the oceans of a distant waterworld planet called K2-18b, 124 light years from Earth.
He was referring to the signal picked up by the James Webb space telescope (JWST) showing with 99.7 per cent certainty that K2-18b has in its atmosphere one or both of the gases dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS). On Earth, they are produced only by living organisms. DMS is released by phytoplankton in the oceans when they become stressed but is also given off when you chop broccoli or boil cabbage in the kitchen.
Madhusudhan, known as “Madhu” to his team, knew that confirming the presence of a strong biomarker linked to life on another planet could be “[one of the biggest landmarks in the history of science](https://www.thetimes.com/uk/science/article/exoplanet-k218b-extraterrestrial-life-scientist-z63wd6gbx)”. | r/spaceexploration | post | r/Spaceexploration | 2025-04-18 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLcE9PSlplcUdOMEt6TXQ1NEVUdUd5QXMzdFRwVFhvZFRDRWJTS29xVHJVTDRfc1dUeFNVTm1FWEh1RFlNdjAwU3ZnZXJaa1NKaTVhMnpSQm1LOGpJNWx5TG9rdjR5VzVIOThBNFhET3NQcWc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLYlM3emVFQm5pQ0hSdUg5T19JbUQ3TzRlSjhuUFNFam1UNjFnUXdHNjNFQ0s4bmFqekwxQ3Vjdm4ybExGS3pEQVBXcGRwMnlUNnJ1WEhlVU9odk5rSlJqMFM4MzFyak9Fc29ZYjBLSnctTThoRkNaRkNrVXRkUVV1cWZKUnhmdVNvaHd6NUhUWE91eGQ1Wm0xQVp1TlkzS0U1Y2ItQlpvSXpnenM1Ri1DNzlMbEJwdWtBNkVrUm1abzdaX3NRcnZiWXZ3WkE3Tkgzc2JENEtrX0dWc2Vqdz09 |
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve seen so much hate and quite frankly, misogynistic takes and comments about Katy Perry, Amanda Nguyen, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Lauren Sanchez, and Kerianne Flynn, the first all female “crew” to go to space. Since digging into Blue Origin and their other flights completed previous to April 14th (the all female crew flight), I find it really interesting how everyone is acting hostile towards them and this event and can’t help but think “is it because they’re all women?” Obviously, some of the members being famous and well known will cause a stir, but I don’t think it’s really that serious for people to be in such a tizzy about it.

Too bad accountability isn’t a Blue Origin leadership principle.
Will anyone lose their job over NS-31?
Most people knew that the “crew”was a terrible idea for many reasons and now Blue Origin’s brand has been reduced to an embarrassing meme for the next few months. Hopefully not longer.
Obviously, senior leadership is in such a tight bubble that no one is telling them not to do stupid things anymore.

If Katy Perry isn’t an astronaut because she didn’t “go into space” then neither are the challenger “astronauts”.
What is it that constitutes an astronaut then? Length of training? Careered professional? Is it NASAs definition of an astronaut or just what each person decides what an astronaut is in their own head. | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-04-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLLTVJN3NHUE95MS1GWXZ6WEFnWVJvNEhwRFFDdkVTX1VkcU9tS0hxYzRSeHhGek5velduMlJoRmlxel9GMHE2d0NJbl9hU2JPb0RLMVlpX0FjVkg5TURuTC1SY0VEMVdSdTM5TFNsamdIUXM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLRjJoQ3RaQnpzdzkyWVoyUmNHNmxSWUNoT1FNUmFNLV9faF85ZXhWbXpEYkN2OFNUc0NiMGZXY043d29Zakh6ZlZ0OHdXbkNoNlMwdkxRbDlDQ0dEa18ycG1OaUtHSkZxT2JJalRuZFFxUUhOaUNJd1N5anNqQW5iZUVoT1Z4M2haRU8weHBRdEpYOUxlb3pLTGo1ekVVZ0hQeTdLSGp2RGhCSEk1bEJWWDhjPQ== |
They were trying to prove themselves wrong because they knew multiple other teams of scientists would end up doing the same and they wanted to be confident in their results. Confirmation of extraterrestrial life is a gigantic, earth-shattering claim that needs to backed up to almost 100% certainty before it can be announced. | r/spaceexploration | comment | r/Spaceexploration | 2025-04-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLa1ZaemJadUE1ZU13bEdvSll3UUltcGpHQzFVeUZHbThhcy1jejdkM0tIV3B6SGRlM0dtcVJjdXczaEk2bjdzWlJMb1drUUkzWDJkeDdOR1JSMlZsS1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLemdOSmNTMG1KWGk1aldWYmVBcVpqaWVySlptd3hzMXNCWkxwb1dLSG5YM01wZ0N0WFdTejY2MzlGNlhRczZncDFYX1Jwc2ZFUjRYcEZqSkd5ME9EaFFpSDFENzhuRFMxbUFqeWVRMWFPMmVwcmZkYnh0LTBkbjFOcUJiRlBUaXZnTWlvR1pRZkpaN0tCUE5zYVhFZDZkWEJIQ0c1YXlVOFZlT1lPRFpvVF9aYUVVR1FOMmJBOTduQUN6aUlYTXVZRzlrZlNnYmhNeTJsOU9JbkJUSUxCUnkwSFRzQUd1aDFsTGNHUlQ3ZGVzMD0= |
As far as I understand New Shepard is a single state rocket, where the crew capsule just separates before apogee. If there isn’t an engine on the capsule, how does it reach a higher apogee than the rocket? | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-04-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLM3FfcHhZUUdZMmtiOU5JNVZvTmhnZlpxQ1Q3T1dDYl9DYng4cHNzRjUxM0w0TmNNcmQ5UHBYUThGbm96dHNsRzFRUTJBNjFtZGhhY0kxMmdZOEQ4dlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLR0JvenhWTFpCc1lXeUFYM1VjSElhLWRKeEJvN3RwUnE4M2o1MndvcW45Q0dBdmdfYkExWWJwbndwTTNYcXpMZmFTb01pV2dUM29IWkRoUnhVOHpIWnlqdEdsQzhGODQ1U1ZBNG56aUVGLXRPT25UTU1DcHJVbjFfOUJET3FkU1ZCRmxMUTlfSzNpSGpsNElvLTg3dGJXeFdzZXB4ZzZUWTJmYktIMXN5TzhsZEZwT1FDNG5pLVp0QXRmZnoyVmpXYzVtaFM5YzRYcmh6aDYxR1JzTlNHUT09 |

Hello,
I've noticed moving objects on Emily's trip to space. I am convinced they are not moving straight but they change direction.
Link to the youtube video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PenTzO3t2T8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PenTzO3t2T8)
The one example would be 12:32 timeframe, object turn right instead of going straight up. Is it possible that it is just step debris? At 12:54, 12:59 aswell. This one for example looks like has wings or burning it's just a debris!?: WTF guys? There are even more moments. Do they hide something from us?

I don't care if you like the passengers or not, if you're calling their trip fake and throwing out the usual arguments like rough hard landing, no burn marks from re entry, or the opened doors thing, you're a fucking idiot.
Look, I get it, you might not understand physics, how spaceflights are operated, or the engineering involved behind them etc etc but making such bold claims based purely on your own ignorance makes you no different from flat Earthers and people who think the moon landings were faked.
There’s a difference between not knowing something and weaponizing your lack of knowledge to discredit someone else’s success. I couldn’t care less about the personal drama surrounding these four people, but the last thing I expected was to see society seriously calling the trip fake.. Where is your fucking critical reasoning?
**To expand this post into more than just my personal rage, here are answers to the common arguments these people make:**
1. “It was a hard landing” – No, it wasn’t.. The parachutes slow the capsule down from free fall speed of around 200 mph to around 16–20 mph. Just a few feet above the ground, retro thrusters under the capsule fire for a less than a second which slows it down even further to as low as 6 mph.. which is the actual speed at impact. That dust cloud isn't from the landing impact, it's from the thrusters firing, just like you see in tons of other missions both on and off Earth. The camera angle makes it look like a rough landing, but it’s not. Here's what it looks like [from the inside.](https://youtu.be/PenTzO3t2T8?t=886)
2. “Why is there no re-entry burn if they went above the atmosphere?” Altitude has nothing to do with it. The burn that you talk about isn't happening during re entry because something’s “high up” it’s because of friction of the craft against air at extreme speeds. The free fall speed is around 200 mph.. When a craft re enters the atmosphere at orbital velocities like 17k-18k mph, which is 4–5 miles per second, the air compresses and heats up so much it turns into plasma. That’s what causes the glow and aerothermal heating. The stuff that burns up is descending from orbital velocities.
3. "Doors aren't supposed to open from the inside, it's not safe" - Apollo 1 fire tragedy was one of the reasons space agencies had to redesign spacecraft hatches to open much quicker and easier from the inside.. Some re engineering later It's been proven to be safer than having a hatch sealed from the outside, thus why it still remains like that to this day on every craft. Plane doors have always been designed to be opened from the inside in case of emergencies. It IS safer.
4. "But then Jeff Bezos uses a tool to open the door after it's closed" - No way? You thought these hatches have cute little doorknobs on each side or something for easy access? Nope, they need a lever like tool to be opened from the outside.. [Here is what the door looks like.](https://prnt.sc/RSx8OB7gLYHT) And yes, they want the picture to look good. They don’t want everyone walking out silently on their own lol, this whole thing serves a commercial purpose too.
This is already too long, I won't go into other arguments, but I hope this is enough for some of you. | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-04-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLMWVRenpGX3BkWnlVRGJsd3AzcXV2T19xTllHZWlUMEp5a0M2VFBiR2M2MC1GMGVSMWYyN2dXeU5jVko2UDdDSjdhTTZsSlhYYnhCRFBZOFRrQVYwZEk1MGxvM0RMb0FYeU4wRDNaczdEaEk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLck01ampwelJDTF8xTUlsT0ZtM1RnX2JTU1RkczZFMThzUTNOUWFSS1JBNWZ0Y3E3QV9zTXB1aFoxYmhMTzFJNXUyVE00eUZmVDYtdmJZU0ktVV9DNGJKZHhvck1sc28zVzNXYk5nakE5WVB5RnFfcDNqbmI1YWh3N3J3dVh4ZzZHMnNQaVZUaU8zRjlmUmRSMHlZZk80SG1seGVVdmF4a0htZDRrNzNGc0lTTndOVEU4T3g0UGdPX25zRzhzeXAxTTBvRWxQVlpubmFTdzBUOHV5TXdodz09 |
Of course I understand actually finding life on another planet means a lot to scientists.
But tbh, I don't think it's that much of a breakthrough. Simply because we still can't get there. Maybe it will be a looong time until we can. Nobody alive today will witness it anyway.
Sorry if I sound negatively, but scientific breakthroughs for me are things that can actually benefit humanity in a practical sense. | r/spaceexploration | comment | r/Spaceexploration | 2025-04-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLWW9yV3hjVWk1Vk9lS2xpek9GNjhQa2ZQZG1Rbk9lVm1ZajdWN2kyNFNiUlZLcXJtOVJwVllrT0VnbXVTQzZEdVl1bk0tOHhXcFdhcTA2ZWtBX2dfSG1QbkZCQllxcklfektHVkFhWWQzVDg9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLeVF5VnVKT3FlT1E1Z2RJVGotMkNVaHhHX2V6c3BINFhZTXlhY05JOHNDNmdYRjJQTHlUVkM2cVkwNUUyVVQ1N0VLWUVacWN1SzhVc3NvTlJRcXp2OGt4OGtWbnFKZm5vQVg1VDJsZHhkb2dUTnNWVGpzYzVzUmxtcl8zRWV1ZXZNRzFocEMwVlRNcXhuV0Jxd19CbXdWVW1yaVZYNGdnUzg2Q0c4S3k0TWZGNTNHLWZrOGJJZHUwXzlxRThKWmRzZFVlOTNuNVplZ2lnYm1od3g4Ui1jS3hTWC1aanpWdW9UZHQ3a3hocHRkVT0= |

I mean this. It would be the most amazing discovery that has ever happened, and may ever happen. Something that monumental needs to be correct and without doubt.
That said, it's super exciting. If carbon based life similar to what's on earth exists only 128 LY from earth, then it's possible primitive life (at least) is everywhere.
