Anybody got a few grand they could loan me and a way to expidite getting a passport? 😂

Sooo uhhhh it stopped a move because it exceeded the force limit. Sorting blocks in sim with a reset button is one thing, contact-rich stuff on real hardware is where specialized models still live

La Starship desplegando satelites Starlink 😯 @SpaceX #Starship #Starlink

Thanks Vince. Busy Rocket Lab weekly. Space systems is busy

three years of proxima report btw 🐺 also spent a lot of time making this, i’m really excited to see where this quarterly analysis goes and for you guys to see what we’ve been doing behind the scenes! check it out and if you enjoy it, subscribe to our newsletter!

Une news un peu particulière pour moi : HyPr a inauguré hier sa nouvelle usine, la Boulangerie, dimensionnée pour lancer la production de B1. 7000m2 de bureaux et d’ateliers, et un premier vol attendu l’année prochaine !

A black hole's event horizon is a boundary in spacetime beyond which every future-directed path leads farther inward, so no signal can return to the outside universe. The glowing structures in black-hole images come from hot matter outside the horizon. Light can orbit temporarily in a photon region, while gas in an accretion disk heats through compression, turbulence, and magnetic effects. For a nonrotating black hole, the horizon radius is rₛ = 2GM/c².

Good morning October! My 2027 calendar preorders will be going live pretty soon. :) 3 editions this year too: Astro - Spaceflight - Analog

gooooooood MORNING! Let’s get this party started.

Sooo uhhhh how do you explain France running 75% nuclear for 40 years. The tech works great, the US construction and regulatory model is what flopped

NEW: The U.S. Space Force is generating so much satellite data that its communications network risks becoming a battlefield bottleneck, according to a new Mitchell Institute report. Military space sensors now produce up to 200× more data than two decades ago, but much of it still has to move through legacy radio-frequency links that were never designed for today’s volume. The report argues the Space Force needs to accelerate laser communications, which can move data 10–40× faster using beams nearly 1,000× narrower — making them harder to detect, intercept and jam. It also calls for more AI and edge processing onboard satellites so they can filter and prioritize the most important information before sending it to commanders. The warning is straight forward: the U.S. is rapidly adding sensors in orbit, but unless it upgrades the network connecting them, the data may arrive too slowly to matter.

Yahoo NOTAM chain (FAA + USCG + NAVAREA) out a day ahead = trajectory locked. Stepping hazard areas toward Bermuda plus this much silence? I'm calling customer-quiet HASTE hypersonic test. Now watching for pad imagery.

@AARCORP announced plans on Sept. 28 to acquire 65% of MRO Holdings for about $1.725 billion. This is AAR’s seventh acquisition in four years. aviationweek.com/mro/aircraf…

Sooo uhhhh did we forget how test programs work? They recreate the anomaly, nail the root cause, fix it, fly again. Literally every rocket ever developed did this. Same ending my ass

Cygnus et HTV ne savent pas s'amarrer tout seuls, tout passe par la capture du bras. Heureusement Dragon s'amarre en autonome, donc l'essentiel du trafic reste assuré. Je parierais sur un glitch logiciel ou du transporteur mobile avant le bras lui-même.

Liftoff of Starship Flight 14 from Starbase, TX. The first orbital launch attempt for the program. Seen from 4 miles (6.4 km) away.

They're missing the main point, plus state @Starlink is not reliable (for reference see post below) - 4 of these ISPs are terrestrial based and there's large tracts of land where they don't provide any coverage, the other is Viasat, Lol Starlink of cause covers 100% of the US... "Beyond cost, another major factor for people who need to rely on the connection every day is Starlink's reliability. That's why it's worth looking at other Starlink alternatives, many of which don't require satellites and may be cheaper than Starlink. For those in the countryside, these solutions can cut monthly costs without sacrificing a reliable connection for everyday tasks"

We design, build and operate world class satellites already. Launch is the gap. Too many Canadian missions wait on someone else's schedule. A small launcher out of Canso covering SSO and polar trajectories would close the loop.

lmaooo this is the greatest children's book ever written. The engine covers send me

$ONDS increasingly resembles a "system-of-systems" defense company rather than a typical drone manufacturer.
