It is hard to imagine that people at Spinlaunch have not thought about it in depth.
There is general ideas about “space tethers”, “space elevators”, “sky hooks” and “rotovators”.
Space elevators are basically impossible on Earth. Not really fully impossible but the material strength requirement is unreasonably high. Even with the maximum known possible strength material, graphene, the taper ratio required is extreme.
A rotating space tether is definitely a thing that will happen. It just cuts down the propellant needed to reach a station. Today we do not have station massive enough to justify the complications. Space tethers will become common shortly after in-orbit refueling becomes common. In effect the entire empty mass of the refueling ship becomes a type of propellant with an “exhaust velocity” equal to the loaded tether tip velocity. Even if that total impulse is less than the propellant delivered it is still huge. Furthermore, if the propellant was intended to boost the station then the rocket can burn the fuel while at the end of that tether. That makes the exhaust velocity of the propellant sum of its intrinsic exhaust velocity and the tether tip velocity.
Spinlaunch is making a very short tether that has extremely high g-force. | r/spacexstarship | comment | r/SpaceXStarship | 2025-05-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLbG12aUl2Ykpma0k5Y1gxbTQ0alpmR1V1WFZRZHJWQm5iZTZsczdDb0dVcGNxU1UwTzlseTVpcFZYX1VSbm9oSl85SGxtQ3kzd0d6ZUoxVTh6QnQyN3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLMmZaT2tHdDc3QUM2T0FQckh1MEp6dnZKQTllaVhjMUlhT3F6bHpMU2xhQjhRQlFzOUtEeU55WFBpcTlHcUYtU2xQXzV3OXlmSWVFSUJHRXBqZVBaQVM2QXNibUVvRFF1bWpyalc3VnNDOGR1bk5MajhzTTBHV1pWT21sM1NFRkQzQmlwRkRVUHpwY182ZzJ2QTlOQkNXMEUyU2VpZkJpRDdFeXZEMFpsMTRMR0Q2dXN4aERzWVJIcGZRRU5aOFpiS0g5bmRkbjluUUZSLWRsNlMtU003Zz09 |
John Couluris , VP of Lunar Permanence at Blue Origin's segment contains significant updates on Blue Moon and New Glenn. From 0:56 to 1:19 in the video. Well worth it to listen to the questions.
Among them, a great deal of vehicle hardware progress has been made. The first Blue Moon Mk 1 could be rolled out as soon as 6 weeks from now! | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-05-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLQ2pTSW1NZGp0VXdkSXJ3U3ZUNzRvc2FZamtIbENTdnh0OWtwblV4RThJcHR0V1UzcTJDZlVuUVU1bURzbE1oT2ZVSlBPNXpQekZZQXlUTlU0YjJzbmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLdjJ2RkhPSG9jQkdjOGdIQTRPQXpMWXEtTFQ4bXZGcFZqMlJEVDdBbDlLak5ieDNqSFdwcnkyeTM4Q3NsT0EyNU56Z1hiYUtkZ1RKeFQ0aU1EX2U2aVVUamdhWG5JM1lkLTlIUG1WYWlRemkyd1N0MzZYRHdDVVZNRzRYR2VURGdfUm5ab1NVY1pDT2pNa044OVFmYzJCakdCWlNWS01ncm9reDdBR0pMMkY1WHIyS3lNTm5LQXhRN0xRNUg3MVN3Y041dlduZUtCeWJtTjFpd19NX1o2dz09 |

Hello space enthusiasts! I ordered this off ebay for a little project (more soon!) and wanted to know how I can find out if (or better when) it was flown in a Space Shuttle mission. It was marketed as "flown" and clearly has the proper documentation (CLASS 1), but I have no idea where to search for more information about this thing. It is a data logger made by Hasselblad and was used on the 553 ELS Space Camera. I would be very happy to know more about my purchase :-) | r/nasa | post | r/nasa | 2025-05-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLR1FGTk1XQWpVMjVTbGtnd2dSdFhJbldSdUZITS1WaF9zNWxWZ29IMklZYzZWcUpSVkxpLVhKbzBBbGdXM1V1SEVWR2tMdm12dnNaZEVrX3RaNUdONkhCcjdLUkJkSU5RQm05NzliT2Z0aWc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLanNCRjczSWxXWjBYZ25zNC1ZdTJjS3NaZEtNQS1SelhoaXUtbmtZckI3WDRjek1NZGdQQ3EwYU02WU5QNllZcjZJcGl1SVdvZnJJQS1fc2dGTzRtdVQ5RTJIVlJsTkpjdUpBdC1SRFItT2hCUXBvd0dtbDEySU9CcWFEb2lJN2l4RFdpdHlkTVg2My10MWdGcUZhbHc1RGtld1FHeVpfRGhJVmZMbkhSQ1Q4PQ== |

tl;dr I'm the one organizing a petition to stop the cuts to NASA science and [I want you to sign.](https://planet.ly/petition)
Hi all. Jack here. I'm the D.C. representative for the independent nonprofit, The Planetary Society. We're the largest grassroots space advocacy organization, with a global reach of more than 2 million people. I'm the guy on staff that lives and breathes space policy.
The NASA budget cuts are looming large over the entire space industry right now. I've seen a lot of posts asking about the status of the proposed budget cuts, what happens next, and how we can stop those cuts.
Let me tell you a little bit about what we've done so far:
* We helped re-establish the bipartisan [Planetary Science Caucus](https://www.planetary.org/advocacy/the-planetary-science-congressional-caucus);
* Coordinated a [massive letter opposing the cuts](https://www.planetary.org/press-releases/science-industry-and-advocacy-groups-unite-in-opposition-to-deep-cuts-to-nasa-science) that is now signed by 20 organizations, including commercial, academic, student, and other advocacy groups;
* Held a [100+ person Day of Action](https://www.planetary.org/articles/2025-day-of-action-recap) in Washington, D.C.;
* Directed more than 40,000 messages to Congress in just the last four months, and;
* Launched the [Save NASA Science Action Hub](https://www.planetary.org/save-nasa-science), to give the public access to updates about the budget and a clearinghouse of actions that can be taken.
I'm proud of the work we've done so far, but *this is only the beginning* of our campaign. We have an opportunity next month to directly influence the discussion on NASA's budget, and so that's why I'm posting here.
The process for creating the annual budget involves multiple points of input. One such opportunity involves submitting "Outside Witness Testimony." This is when external organizations and experts can submit written remarks to the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate for them to consider when they are writing their drafts of the budget. Congress is currently accepting this type of input through the middle of June. To demonstrate the immense public support for NASA and opposition to the proposed cuts, we launched an online petition that will be submitted through this process.
The petition is open to everyone. *Yes, seriously.* Everyone, from around the world, is able to sign this petition. We need to show Congress that NASA is not just an American endeavor, but that it represents our highest ideals to people around the globe. Not to mention billions have been spent by other space agencies on projects with NASA that are threatened by these reckless cuts.
NASA is one small slice of the federal budget pie: **0.36%**, last I checked. Being that small, Congress spends very little time thinking about the agency's budget. That means we need to take every opportunity we can get to express concern about the proposed cuts and request action to protect science in the budget.
You might be surprised by the immense impact that actions like this have. But this is why The Planetary Society was founded. [Europa Clipper](https://www.planetary.org/articles/europa-clipper-a-mission-backed-by-advocates), [NEO Surveyor](https://www.planetary.org/articles/the-need-for-neo-surveyor), and [New Horizons](https://www.planetary.org/advocacy/the-pluto-campaign) are all examples of space missions we helped save in the past. Now, with the whole budget under threat, this is an all-hands, five-alarm situation.
If you're looking for your moment to get involved, **this is it**. Every signature counts towards our goal. We're nearly halfway to 5,000 signatures. The more we get, the more support we can garner in Congress, the more missions we can save, and the more we can explore the Cosmos.
**Add your name to Save NASA Science:** [**planet.ly/petition**](http://planet.ly/petition)

Blue origin states that Mk-1 will have its inaugural launch this year and the guy in the video said that the BE-7 engines for that launch are going to start their qualification tests soon which means that it will NOT be the payload for the launch slated for late spring.
My question is do you think the production line for GS-1 is evolved enough to launch the MK-1 payload this year even if the spring launch doesn’t successfully land. | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-05-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLa1dvSE5xUnBTbDJCaWwwcl9CVHg5TXduUnZTTTYzc21UNUhOTTBDY1VfWEw2eEhDU0w0ZmNGVWNKVGdoM2ZKRm5tdTAtbEpMdFFNc215cV9Gam1hRHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLb2p2Zkc2OF9meW5hSThVXy01ck9CZE5kWGdBcFA0Znl0ZTBMQzM1dk9PTjJXa2RVejlUWkVsVjZ1Z2dUcW5uV2hOTHF1US11LWRkQnJJYVdKbHRfYnhDUkUxRHZ1eWQxUTFVU2tNQk9kVlpQbDZoTFhNSjgxRTNXN3dmcmJUa0t1ZnBMbDJVN1NhRDRRWmRTUlh5SmdvU09hRVBJWHlEQzhDbHhJU0dVLXR2YnJaZVRhME00Mk5JUDJmSzMxSE1G |

Hi r/NASA !
I was thrifting recently and came across this gold jumpsuit (more shiny than the camera shows). Considering my buddy thrifted a cool nasa patch jacket from the 70s right next to me I thought there’s a strong possibility this could be a NASA Jumpsuit. The zipper is marked TALON and the manufacture date is 1971. The rest of the tag info
“Coverall Utility
P/N - BW-2064-001
S/N - 007
Size - 44L
Date of mfg - 12-28-71
Mfg. by: Welson & Co
Contract No - 46497”
The tag was kind of faded so the last numbers maybe be a bit off. Please let me know if anyone can help! Thanks so much

Backstory: my grandfather did metallurgical work at Battelle in the early space race timeframe, was the meteoritic expert for reentey study, and one of the 4 scientists assigned to project blue book. So it’s plausible this is a test lot of material for the lunar lander materials testing. As far as I can tell it is not the same material used. It has no plastic content I tried melting it. It seems to be a copper/aluminum alloy based on flame color and temperature. It does not register on my calipers. So it is less than .0005” in thickness. One smaller piece is 8”x 29” and weighs 10.5g.
I have not been able to find any information about failed materials batches. Just curious if testing info is available somewhere so I can verify through materials testing if this is what I’m thinking it is.

As a space nerd this is a dream come true! It’s legitimately an off-world selfie. This image was taken aboard Satgus on April 5, 2025, at 12:35:02 PM PST and later beamed back to Earth, I just received it yesterday.
Satgus is a CubeSat currently orbiting about 300 miles above the surface and cruising at around 17,000 mph. Sidenote this is not a promotion of the SatGus program but Mark Rober has officially opened the satellite to the public for free and that’s just way too cool not to share! | r/space | post | r/space | 2025-05-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLUy1pNkdjdjhjc1ZkYTVCU2xoOXlieUlJSGhBX0dja1FIZnZEQzdESFFnVlRnbXJRc0VBMjhjSTVOSEpFUGtIN3lBWUVvMXZWeVFsWmtfbDRUQ3RLUlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLbl90b2N5MGF6cVEtcGxhVTEweXM3ejNyR2FYbzFWX3REa0xTWHhRbE90elhnYUxtampvU1l6X0tMRDIyUFk5NVQ4YzhEaXBISkhPRVltUmVNLUw2aFF5bHBSRU53ZkgzdHFJaVFZckxrYU1OeW95VHRBVFlqdDFnTlhQOE5IbzVQSjhrVjc2N1JaemxQdjc1VENlZTA1RDVEdkl4N21UQ2dEY0RGNWR6c080PQ== |
The ISS happened to be overhead Starbase during the launch of Starship flight 6 last fall, and I was able to photograph the leftover trails from launch. Very fortunate positioning. It is not easy to time a launch, especially from orbit!

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for help identifying this sealed Apollo-era potato soup food packet, preserved by my grandfather since 1969.
According to a handwritten note by him, the item was given as a gift from Buzz Aldrin on October 5, 1969, during the Apollo 11 world tour stop in Maspalomas, Canary Islands.
The note reads:
*“Apollo 11 – Leftover food from the Moon flight – Gift from Buzz – Maspalomas 1969”*
# Observable details:
**Front:**
* Label: *POTATO SOUP – 5 oz. hot water – 5–15 Minutes*
* Vertical number: 7131
* Round stamp: WSD 13
* One sealed pill
* Tube and valve intact
**Back:**
* Serial number: FW 667
* Black velcro patch at the top
The package is sealed and well preserved.
I would love to know:
* If anyone recognizes this packaging style
* If the serial numbers or stamp match known NASA documentation
* Whether it’s possible to confirm its flight status (flown, backup, etc.)
Any input from experts, collectors, or spaceflight historians would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! | r/nasa | post | r/nasa | 2025-05-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLU3BYQU0zbmdRV2Y0Tnh5MXhSQjV5d3lHNW9IdUxVUTh5cWxIa2JCU1QtODNta21SbnJ3anZPM1d4R0xDeE5pZlBucUcxcS1meENvUFE4ZmdlUS0zYXZmY2xBLVZXZGx5ZlRfZERicDZaa2c9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLSHZVaVZ3Z1oyQjlSdzh2XzNGTW1PeTFNNmtlNEJ6VzVGcFRvZGlLNlYxcjdndjUwTWd6MUJnYmJTNnRqQmNTYmhpZnFTbEc4RTA0NXJOVnlqWUVIUjlkQmFLWURHWktMS3dkNVJ0ZVduTDQxaUprZktXZHZIeG1RTU1hWmN3TExrajNJVEZFX2w2TXlaVUlQQjRXQ1daaEJNNXQwd0I3d2k0U0tJbVEzWi1UVVpDYnd4RWxyMGwwR2VZa3FUaWZL |
I think we all continue to hope for a good outcome for the next flight test. Starship still represents the best hope for future space developments in the near time.
Much can be achieved with a fully operational Starship system.. | r/spacexstarship | comment | r/SpaceXStarship | 2025-05-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLTXNnTTMyRHJYT3ZCYi13LUU1SF8zV0pIcGRhcFkzeEJwVllfRjV0ZHNVcFctcEpxdWQ4ZUxmUUIyN2NJcWdYdkRoZ1l4d3gtR1U2emVlTUM5MmlxMlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLSU9rSGsyN0w5MXZrTmc0M01LOUpxa2NVaEtUUGZvSjFOdWNEVFZ1NW43RGdlRGhfSVlpUWl2NGNtcVBaT3U5TEI3YktLVS14RWxCcDZXYnBEVUE2WjB6RS1ndHFrWkw3X0pnRy0tODNaa1dGUXFhT1J4c2xYbFgzdWdqUEQ1U25fejVTbXhTdHcwT0JaNnpLR0c2ZW1WX1V3akhseTJsUXJ1R1VOLVlRc0hJOE4welJYWUxIeFhSdG5xVm8tVlVEQ0lKTE1YOWRIRmxIS0g3YWtJSVRNTVpaZlhUWHRUd0V6NktMd1lJdFF3OD0= |
So it was a different issue. I guess that's why they were testing the ship so many times, to make sure no additional issues manifest. | r/spacexstarship | comment | r/SpaceXStarship | 2025-05-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLMjJxbldaRjlQWU1CU1pSV1VKQkpSa0Zqbkszd3FVV0FQZkpValE2Q0NXdnR3WTBhZ19tLUpPTVhWakxoaFJ1aHRDYnk4LTdCV2pqd1FIMEVRUTN5elE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLTEhaVDhpc01oOWxyQjhQNTZJOExMZXpTVmVINWl4NF9PVTRNM0FVX3RYRXFBQTlxbTBzQUx5a3BrZF94SmlyN3FfR3Y2RVpXcWVLd2ZhaUxadUZEOUpQdDNWZ1VweXozTG9VTXBGUHVmS3VLMXdCbzIzd3g2UmpYQW9ERk9XV0NJTnlYSzhwVXRSTFg0NVhpbTRSVFJxLXRXMUh1amxRMHFjQmhWOWw3a2pzQ1N3ZjBhdGFfZjNqUTdDV1ZJdHFzZVoweUM0eTFRT0FFdDY5ZG5VWkVxbjJOQnE5em1sbkZuNjZPbWduWnZVaz0= |

Scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) have been studying past, present, and future changes in Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and ice for over 50 years.
This legacy of American scientific leadership and discovery will be shuttered on Wednesday, when researchers will be abruptly removed from their longtime offices due to recent decisions by the executive branch.
Learn more about the vital science being done at NASA GISS and how to [\#SaveAmericasForecasts](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/saveamericasforecasts/) during the Weather & Climate Livestream starting this Wednesday, May 28 (wclivestream.com).
Please consider tuning in! We will also have current/former NASA and NOAA employees speaking about their science and the impact of the cuts on weather and climate research in the US: [https://wclivestream.com/](https://wclivestream.com/)

Just checking here. I can access the technical reports server to type in a search, but anything that comes up will not download. It just spins until I get a gateway time-out error.
It happens with any report I try to download.

Any procurement peeps in here? Buyers? SCAs? I’ve been away from KSC for about 3 years now (different company). Wondering if you like working procurement at Blue Origin? I’d be leaving a cushy remote job, but think I’d make a decent amount more at Blue Origin. Busy and FAR regulations don’t bother me, I’m more concerned about the culture and if everyone’s legit miserable.

Booster 14-2 and Ship 35 successfully lifted off from Pad A in Starbase, Texas on May 27th, 2025 at 18:36 Central Time. Booster 14-2 successfully lifted off with 33 Raptor engines and completed a nominal ascent burn, hot staging, and boostback burn. The booster continued towards its planned landing site in the water and experienced a RUD during the landing burn. This was not unexpected as SpaceX flew the booster on a high AOA to stress the vehicle. Booster 14-2 has now become the first Super Heavy booster to fly twice.
Ship 35 continued on its ascent with all six Raptor engines and successfully reached SECO at T+00:08:59. After SECO Ship 35 attempted to open its payload door to perform the payload deployment test but was unable to open the door fully. The door was closed and the deployment test was scrubbed. During the coast phase the ship then began a very fast spin and the ship lost all attitude control. Ship 35 burned up in an uncontrolled reentry and LOS occurred at T+00:46:47, officially concluding flight test #9.

#Updates
Time (CT)/Date/T+ | Description | Link
:-:|:-:|:-:
**5/27** | |
T+00:46:47 | **Telemetry lost with Ship 35. SpaceX confirmed a couple minutes later. That will conclude test flight #9** |
T+00:46:40 | Video signal lost with Ship 35. Telemetry still coming in |
T+00:46:18 | Another camera switch the ship aft flap. The whole aft end of the flap is melting and folding over! |
T+00:45:32 | Camera switches to one of the new exterior views. Incredible views showing the plasma going by! |
T+00:42:35 | Engine has switched from forward flap cam to ship aft skirt cam. Tons of plasma hitting the ship now |
T+00:41:20 | Plasma is now hitting the leeward side of the ship. There's no attitude control so we will see how long 35 can last |
T+00:30:58 | Cams are back and even though it's on the dark side of Earth you can tell the ship is spinning very fast. Ship 35 has lost attitude control just like Ship 28 did on flight 3. SpaceX also confirms loss of control due to a propellant leak on the ship |
T+00:26:36 | According to the launch graphic the ship is moving a lot. Potentially spinning again? |
T+00:17:58 | **SpaceX says the door wasn't able to open fully. They will now close it back up and that will be a scrub for the deployment test for this flight unfortunately** |
T+00:15:15 | The spin seems like it has slowed down so hopefully this means means the ship still has control. **New view showing the dumblinks inside the payload bay!** |
T+00:11:10 | Ship is still visibly spinning and venting from the aft...may still be part of the planned LOX dump but the spin may not be |
T+00:09:27 | Ship had nominal sub-orbital insertion but it is visibly spinning... |
T+00:09:10 | Right at SECO one of the aft LOX vents started glowing before stopping after about 8 seconds. Not sure if that's expected or not |
T+00:08:59 | **SHIP 35 SECO!! IT MADE IT!** |
T+00:08:41 | **RVAC shutdown! Now down to the Raptor centers as expected!** |
T+00:08:08 | **Now officially past the point that flight 8 reached!** |
T+00:07:36 | The same spot on an RVAC is glowing again as it was on flight 8 |
T+00:06:57 | View is back inside of Ship 35's engine bay. Whatever that venting/fire was has stopped |
T+00:06:17 | **BOOSTER 14 RUD DURING LANDING BURN!!** Engines ran for about three seconds before you can see the fireball. SpaceX confirmed LOS with Booster 14-2. Reminder that this was a test to push the limits of the booster and it wasn't going to be recovered anyway |
T+00:06:14 | **It's hard to see because it's foggy but you can see Booster 14 landing burn start! 12 out of 13 engines! One out on the outer 10 engines** |
T+00:05:40 | Booster 14 coming down and the engine bay is starting to glow from the heat like before |
T+00:05:09 | There's something that's venting into the engine bay from a vent near the top of a Raptor center. Can't tell is it's igniting and making a blue flame or if it's a camera trick. |
T+00:03:32 | Boosback burn shutdown and hot stage jettison |
T+00:03:18 | Down to the center 3 engines on Booster 14 as it nears the end of boostback |
T+00:02:47 | Booster 14 now in it's boostback burn with all 13 engines running! |
T+00:02:43 | **Hot staging and booster flip! All 6 engines on Ship 35!** |
T+00:02:34 | **MECO!** |
T+00:02:04 | Vehicle is rolling to a view that puts the heatshield down towards the ground. This should be in preparation to perform the boostback flip test. |
T+00:01:02 | Max-Q |
T+00:00:27 | Nominal chamber pressure on B14-2! |
T+00:00:04 | **Ignition and liftoff! All 33 engines!** |
T-00:00:03 | Deluge! |
T-00:00:09 | Through the last abort point! |
T-00:00:40 | After about 5 minutes of holding they have worked through the issue with the ship QD and counting down again |
T-00:00:10 | Another hold. Recycling to T-40 seconds again due to tower issue |
T-00:00:40 | After about 2 minutes the clock is running! |
18:30 | Holding at T-40 seconds due to an issue with one Raptor on the booster |
18:28 | SpaceX confirms they will hold at T-40 seconds |
17:55 | SpaceX is live. Confirms they are targeting the top of the window |

Flight 7 was due to harmonic oscillations which started a leak that led to a fire in the attic of the ship aft. Not a lot of detail about what they changed to fix it but they also added a fire suppression system to prevent fires.
Flight 8 was a “hardware failure on a center Raptor that led to inadvertent mixing of propellants”. Basically something on a Raptor center broke which mixed the propellants and caused a RUD, taking out most of the engines. SpaceX has apparently tightened some bolts on the engines to prevent the issue. | r/spacexstarship | comment | r/SpaceXStarship | 2025-05-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLODF2bmhaT2VsR3ZxVndQNHdEbWw4SXJXMHI2b21uYXRYNkVNenM3eW1UUnJlOGtRN01TbHVKOVBRdkNGUnNTUUNwNW90V0dUSm13TDNJUUFYMlpROUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLVG5qV0NjNHZaOGVFcW90eGNzQUlmb01PdXFpTVI3MkNCVVZVbFNFN3M3Vms1TXhfb2dOay1JXzhHeThlQ2l4NWRfQXZnZmFuejdwZjVxRUpzM19qVTNEZ2d1bW1ranA1QnM3OFFXbDJubndJX011VmJTWTNmRGtwYnRQQnJyMzVGbllTVHZoR2RKOUFRMWFhTkRRNVJKWTRjeENmU1VVRDk1a2RrUzVCb3pPVk9sVEJhZ2wxRVhhMEdKVWZfZkU5UDFuVW1pVVVQdUR1ZUtDQnhXcGt3OFNoYWlfMXFxamFObTYwd3ZRVG1NYz0= |
NSF went into detail on the upgrades but yea that's the jist. SpaceX wrote on x the updates as well but I never noticed and just found them this past weekend.
There's no plan to catch booster today from what I read, I just hope there isn't a rapid unplanned disassembly and they achieve their objectives to shut up the clowns of the internet and media. | r/spacexstarship | comment | r/SpaceXStarship | 2025-05-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLRW1FR0hhSXVNQUJQSGxhdjFaM2pKaThmWGNPQUFndFNIV3BkdjZ1ZGZxRDZQbnV3bWE5TFJQWUg4ZWN6MXB5dnZvZUtQang3ZzNVdUJpYXFYRzJMVHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLMzVUeVBmUV9IZC02Q1pidlpuYUVfQnpKOUxuVUxlRC01N0wwMG52UmpIWjBKUE1OaWlzeGFCOXZfY2Q0a3YxcGtQMUhLZ0h0bUoyWFY4VUlEWnR6UUJrVVlONVhmTHFoVjAwSFZqRnRfSnBOeVJvVExGSmFFMUM5SzM5YTBrcEtYVGJwUEgzbjRob1pUbzgxNjZKaTUybERJUHBQVDRmY0xqV0Y2SUctdkJHR3ZsX1FjbUVxcHVNeXpOZi01MDJpUzFvNzVRYVJhNmhVZWowbUE3R0FOOUY3UU0tejlPTTdXelllVVpWYXZJWT0= |
ERROR: type should be string, got "https://theconversation.com/the-us-is-now-at-risk-of-losing-to-china-in-the-race-to-send-people-back-to-the-moons-surface-241716\n\nThis article claims a 66% chance of success in mid-2024. However, with the Starship flight 7, 8, and 9 failure since then, it is probably much lower.\n\nEdit: Reading comments to this post really is like watching the 5 stages of grief play out: lots of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I will offer a few additional thoughts:\n\nI encourage people to take NASA’s funding seriously, and to not assume that cutting something is inevitable, necessary, or a desirable outcome despite current or future politics. Moreover, it seems increasingly clear that the private sector will not step in to fill many of the gaps NASA’s diminishing would leave behind. Landing astronauts on the Moon in the 21st century is just a very visible example, but certainly not the only one (e.g., space science)." | r/space | post | r/space | 2025-05-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLM19NUFdtVUxtMnI2Y2tmRzc0OHVySnhZX1J4bnkwdGdjQ25DR0pMeElwUk1Mc19qNTJxR3JuSHF6d05qUFVyd0dvM19zR3ZiNDRheTlGRjZGMDY0R0ZmUEVZa3dlLThCQmxrcmVoMktUZ3c9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLaEZmN0lXR3JQU2pJczEzTVA1M21wWENYOEhZZnptdEJiNGZVVVhHNnJhLTNMRjczOS11Z2IxYllQbDZla0hjU0lKOXBrVVBBbUF3dWl3bGdnbWh2bkY5TnQ4cWw3MjBKRlpnR1lCcEhHRHVRUDhKZ01QdzJVUEpRdW85SU1GT1RoUE9mTTFQNXRiak9BelRtUy1SbjRvU0R6YnJsWE03VE9NY091ZFNqWVdJZm9JU1NPel9yRFBxajFCek9GdExudGhvZVFvRjNtYTNDcE5iaF9NdTRVdz09 |

My father-in-law passed away recently. While clearing up his house my wife stumbled upon a 1993 letter from NASA, in reply to his proposed solution to replenishing the ozone layer.
He obviously lacked enough scientific knowledge for his proposal to be of any real value, but I love that someone at NASA still took the time to reply and explain the science to him. Kudos to the Nimbus Project Scientist at NASA.

Former Blue engineer here. I have already shared my story on previous posts. Here is something that is puzzling me. Blue had a large RIF last February or so. A number of my affected former Blue colleagues reached out to me for job leads. I have been helping them as best as I can, and even successfully guided one to secure a new position at a legacy aerospace company. Blue seems to be following a Jack Welch-like downsizing approach of along with "rank-and-yank" stacked performance reviews. Please correct me if I am wrong. Then why oh why are so many Blue employment ads showing up in my Linkedin account? I don't get this "hire and fire" mentality. I wish Blue well though. | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-05-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLcmF5R0d3eXZiNHcyYWIxZXZ1UUlqejlzWHRmMExMNExNSFJsWl8zX21ZN0ZLaUFkX0ttMGY2RXdkVGtsZGNxeThIMjJlV055RnFfcW1LeE5LQXpzOHBHbkRYVUhOQW5hLThOd2NUQXVnUFU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLVTEzX3dzSk9vR2lUR3hJdURnTVFRUXlncVhqa0lDeWdYbVRpS0lXbS13MWJBOTRiNDRHNUxiRGdsOWJYTWd6aE9KUEx4MjlmS0NsZ3hpd2V3WnJ2VVd2UFdqY0hhMVFoTGIzOVkxRzBKNERGQmpPQzZLdU5RcFNESUh3REdLc0YwVi1ybklOVEZZZ0ltVzB6SkJWckdNNGo5Wlh6Q1dKdFprUmFZYTdhNENneG9Db0plZmtpcmlnZlVWUmJtMFZy |
I watched the video back through. They started showing the angle of attack during SECO which to me means exactly what I said. They didn't show it until they knew SECO was successful and that the angle attack would be nominal for the coast phase. | r/spacexstarship | comment | r/SpaceXStarship | 2025-05-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLUUtqalNlUm5INGhLMjl2UURxdWZCOG13OEZaUk5HR3dHSVFWS3hld1d5ZWxrM0ZWUlZBVWU5N1NiRmNwNDlia0h6ckR4S0NZeGJCaHNRTmpwTFJSd0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLcnlUWDVmc0VQclJuNTBRTld4OUtHUDdodWtSZXd3ay1mcUNFb09YSUstdWFqOWVHaWMzQzNJdllDZzFpbDdRUXlmYmR3MWcyZm1pYi1ScF9zMjlnX0tib3lBeEZNUWdlN2hLZjYzeldUMktYcUZIcHptdzRnejlqVV9XMjZqb3BJa2VFRjk3ZHRBempYRFEzODgzMktnNFowTWp5TWllQm9NeGZLVE0wS3NOdkJQeE1WTTUxVjhuQmNqYnlFSlFpLWZxYU8tNWlSSXNuRjQ5TmFvWlgtUT09 |

In search of the original poster that NASA would have sent to a kid in the mid 70’s. From my understanding it would be a large poster similar to this photo, which was pulled directly from NASA’s website. https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/amf-s75-27290/

Here’s a full breakdown of what Elon Musk just shared about SpaceX and their Mars plan:
**Starbase is now a city**
\- Located in South Texas, Starbase has gone from nothing to a full industrial spaceport in just a few years
\- Built two massive launch pads, a rocket factory, and public access along the highway so anyone can see the rockets up close
\- New facilities (Gigabays) are being built to scale Starship production to over 1,000 ships per year
\- Eventually, the site will outproduce major airplane manufacturers in volume
**Starship production and reusability**
\- Goal: build and launch a new ship every few days
\- Long-term vision: launch Starships multiple times per day
\- Targeting full reusability with rapid turnaround
\- Super Heavy boosters are now caught using giant mechanical arms ("chopsticks")
\- The plan is to catch both the booster and the Starship mid-air using the same system, enabling hour-scale reflight
**New engine: Raptor 3**
\- More efficient, safer, and cleaner
\- Eliminates the need for a dedicated heat shield under engines
\- Designed to leak safely into the engine’s own flame, increasing reliability
\- Raptor 3 simplifies complexity and pushes thrust and efficiency beyond anything currently on Earth
**Fueling Starships in orbit**
\- SpaceX is developing orbital refueling (like in-air refueling for jets but in space)
\- Starship launches with a payload
\- Refuels in orbit using other Starships
\- Makes deep-space travel like Mars or Moon possible with full cargo loads
**Reusable heat shield challenge**
\- SpaceX is working on the first fully reusable orbital heat shield
\- Current materials are delicate or require extensive refurbishment (like the Space Shuttle tiles)
\- Heat shields will be tested hundreds of times on Earth before going to Mars
\- Mars' CO₂ atmosphere is surprisingly more destructive to heat shields than Earth’s because of plasma oxidation
**Mars mission timeline**
\- First uncrewed mission may launch to Mars by late 2026 or early 2027
\- Goal is to deliver Optimus robots to Mars first to explore and prep infrastructure
\- If successful, human missions could follow on the next launch window (every 26 months)
**Starship V3 and forward**
\- Starship V3 is taller, more efficient, and has better staging systems
\- Later versions will use nine engines, better heat shields, more fuel capacity, and higher payload
\- Final system will use 42 engines total — an intentional nod to Douglas Adams’ "Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy"
**Massive scale required**
\- Elon estimates it will take at least 1 million tons of cargo delivered to Mars to make it self-sustaining
\- That could mean launching 1,000–2,000 ships per transfer window
\- Long-term plan is to make Mars independent, able to survive without Earth resupply
**Vision for Martian civilization**
\- Musk sees Mars as an opportunity to redesign civilization
\- Martians can rethink government, laws, and social structures
\- Mars will begin as domes and solar arrays but could evolve into a fully Earth-like world
**Starlink is funding the mission**
\- Elon thanks Starlink users — subscription revenue is helping pay for Starship development
\- Mars comms will run on a version of Starlink
\- Even with light-speed delays, it will enable Mars-to-Earth internet
**Bottom line**
\- SpaceX is pushing beyond rockets
\- They’re building the supply chain, refueling infrastructure, reusable systems, planetary communication, and a new civilization
\- First mission to Mars could launch within two years
\- Goal: get millions of people and tons of infrastructure to Mars so humanity becomes multiplanetary

Dave's URA policy is a controversial subject. On one hand, a large organization will always have low performers that need to be exited. On the other hand, forced URA has negative consequences for teamwork, morale, quality of hiring, etc.
1. What advice can Blue managers or other insiders give to ICs on how to best deal with this situation? Is a negative critique via email admissible as evidence in a performance review? Should ICs refute in writing any negative critique they receive, so as to preempt use of said critique as grounds for performance-related dismissal? Is a PIP a genuine effort to improve performance, or should it be assumed that the firing decision has already been made and the PIP is just being used for legal ass-covering?
2. What can managers themselves do about the forced URA? If they have a top-notch team, what if they simply refuse to fire? Are there known instances of a manager being fired for not meeting their URA target, or is that "miss" allowed to slide?
3. Managers, how do you feel about URA? Do you find it morally acceptable to follow firing orders from above in order to save your own job? Do you feel like you're in a Milgram experiment? | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-05-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLQzNjTlhwNGRyR0VkVUxXZGM3enFtOXhHWGx1RDZmeWtVWVFIR2hKUVZTQi1aUXBrWmRXSVR6aVJhSzA2cjFKVmlTblpxdXU5US1xRkdrLTJSQU8zYWFYVjR1UnFmUjdMN3pHNlRRMmlROXM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLUkg5TDgxaGpfZE55MkU0c3hYdlhlOThsYlVwVVJHSUd2dVdKUFRHNDNYOGlmUlAtMmY4VDUxVnNtdmsxRUxSZ18zMTNyX2RuRURRS3FDVGFDcnE4VVR4V2V5NXpXUE8zMXlpX3VSOVBybVRrZGtUc3Z1dEMwekl5Ukx0Z3lvcDkydGY2U01uV3FpOU9TMEdrT2FLaFZ5VUlwaUJuckJzNE56MFRKUm9CRk52Mk0taFpXVWxDX01hZ3FscDdmRExlLXo3Ui0xYzhCbmFpcDJpV3JqSlpIZz09 |

Haven't heard much about it in a while, just curious. Would be cool to see another reusable rocket, and is it fully reusable like Starship will be? Will New Armstrong be even bigger than Starship? I hope so, maybe 20M diameter
A lot of people here seem negative and I dont get it.

I can’t speak for the specifics of policy, but I can say that if this goes through it may ruin my career. I’m a Venus scientist and everything in my community has been building towards the Decade of Venus that would revolutionize our understanding of planetary evolution. The two American missions will be cut and we will retreat from the European mission. Every mission I wanted to work on, all the discoveries I hoped to be a part of — gone. This is going to ruin lives and set American space science back by decades, irrecoverably.

I’ve noticed a lot of hate on this subreddit towards Blue management and their unrealistic goals and timetables. But when I look at the rest of the space industry I also see them making incredibly ambitious claims about when certain vehicles and technologies will come online.
I'm curious why it is that the modern space industry continues to set such ambitious timelines and even more so why Blue Origin seems to get hate for it where no one else does.

Listening to old space podcast episodes is always interesting because you hear about the hopeful progress that might happen, and discussions on putting people on Mars is always interesting. We're now ten years "in the future" and still working on it (which is awesome).

I've seen one or two images of the inside of the ISS of astronauts posing with various cultural icons or symbols in the background among all the equipment, however in one image I noticed 3 black and white photos in the background of seemingly important people, is there any information on these people whos photos were hung up in the ISS? Are they still likely hung up there?

I call these “multi-spectral paintings” because my goal is to connect science + art! The whole piece includes mid-infrared data from JWST, and the blue/purple squares with all the stars add in near-infrared light.

It is NASA HAS’ 26th Anniversary for the Moonshot program. The Moonshot program is an amazing way to get involved in the Artemis program and lead a mission to expand the lunar surface and its surroundings. You get to collaborate with many like-minded peers and most importantly, have fun!

They proposed something similar back in the day.

Why is the windchill drawing release process so convoluted. It's like this.
https://youtu.be/OihbIgXBsMU?si=5eBfZYJ_syypbt61
I have worked at many companies and I have never encountered a more convoluted process.
We need to take Skunk Works Kelly Johnson's advice.
A very simple drawing and drawing release system with great flexibility for making changes must be provided. | r/blueorigin | post | r/BlueOrigin | 2025-06-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLRjlxRXA5ZXIzaHhtbG9jblI1SzB5MFFnQ01ST1VRYW5IZTFKeXdMVzVEQTl2c29meFRudDZNMWI3YjdYYUFBSFdSSWpueTNjbW5BZWNvd2I1T2Z0OWpXdWc0cEdYTVN6MElPODNpajRQVEU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9WUzJLWlk0TThNYUhmSngzU3lVcXVwaTk4SzJfU09mbUVUMTdzWEdvalhHcHhnTUp4X1RzTUxxc2YteG5aTXNtOFZwN2FIeThxWkxGWWgxNHlVRDV6TGVzVGJ6SHJhVWZUc0xRUV9PNUJXc0FxajRWaTd5ZzFodWxXRnY2Y2VSS0lndHlURjZsemZLZlY5bjVsYmhSNUJob0xaSDh1SXo3dEwzZW5VVE5pN1dxTzVvPQ== |

There needs to be an emergency overnight nationwide campaign of contacting Representatives and Senators from ***every*** state, and (politely) asking to restore funding for NASA – If not an increase. ASAP!!!!
Phone Calls to DC and home state offices, as well. Maybe even a visit to speak with the staff. I’ve heard they pay a lot of attention to visits and letters to their campaign offices.
Here’s an example:
(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_), first of all, I want to thank you for great work you do for us in (State), and have been a major supporter of you for years.
I have been a major fan of the fantastic work NASA has done over the decades and the Technology, Science, and Exploration they have provided to the United States and the world.
I am writing to you in regards to the proposed NASA budget coming from the White House, and the disturbing massive cuts that could cripple the agency. I implore you to PLEASE save the NASA budget at (or near) it’s current funding level. I believe they get about 0.3-4% of the entire Federal budget. Heck, even a 50-75% increase would not impact or even be felt in the fiscal world, but the benefits to the United States would be immeasurable.
With the grand plan of Moon and Mars, NASA needs MORE funding, along the Science to support and have a really balanced portfolio. With the intense and ambitious Chinese space program, it is imperative we match and exceeded them at this critical juncture.
Thank you for your time and support.

Why would New Glenn go for a reusable first stage but not a reusable 2nd stage? I feel like going for a cheap expendable 2nd stage would lower build quality and limit overall potential.
