Wait, no. I'd take a blank elset to mean 18th SDS got one pass and cataloged it. Doesn't mean it orbited, let alone that the payload deorbited. A controlled deorbit would still generate a NOTAM.

US Space Force has cataloged the Electron rocket stages from the Jun 11 HASTE launch as being in orbit, but with no associated orbital data.
Does this mean CURVEBALL reached orbit and then the payload was deorbited on first orbit? Are there NOTAMs?

LE-9... holy shit. Only expander cycle running on a first stage right now. I never thought that architecture would work but JAXA pulled it off.
Really excited to see what these engines look like in flight. LE-9s are the only example I can think of where an expander cycle is used for a first stage and in this configuration it really does feel like a spiritual continuation of what an improved Delta IV could have been

This is complete and utter bullshit. You don't fast track orbital strike weapons like pizza delivery. Try getting a launch license for weapons in a week or making a Starlink bus survive reentry. Grok skipped a few steps, I'm sure.

It’s time for an orbital weapons program from SpaceX.

Aaaand blocked for trying to help. xD
This is what I meant had made the graphic (and others that do the same) way better. The Blue Moon lander and Starship don't do the same!! The transporter is included in Starship whereas it's separate for Blue Moon.

For an even better comparison you could also add MK2 its upper stage which could in theory be refueled.

If AAIB is getting shut out, that preliminary report is complete bullshit. RAT timing doesn't care who controls the room. I don't either.
Jun 11
The one agency with no axe to grind is the UK #AAIB @aaibgovuk. But is it getting shut out?

SLC-37a Tower has begun stacking
The LR13000 crane is officially active lifting the first of nine modules for the first Starship tower at Launch Complex 37.
Does this pad have an official name yet @TurkeyBeaver

LC-16 making great progress. Been watching SpaceX cadence break the Eastern Range. No one else can share pads and still hit their dates.
Jun 9
Either SpaceX is vastly overvalued and these pads represent wasted money,
Or these pads represent part of the rush to commercialize space to get a portion of a massive future part of the economy.

Since it's Pride Month check out my short story "Prophet 60091": a 🏳️🌈 romance with (probably) correct orbital mechanics.

NASA's gotta sell it somehow. I watched Shuttle crews juggle way more in realtime with 80s avionics.
This weird claim that this would be one of history’s most complex missions is very puzzling, even only considering NASA’s own record.
Most of the Shuttle-ISS missions were far more complex, usually including several EVAs, same goes for the Hubble ones. And almost all Apollo.

SpaceX is now fueling its Falcon 9 rocket at pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Liftoff of the Starlink 10-35 mission is scheduled for 6:13:50 a.m. EDT (1013:50 UTC). North-easterly trajectory.

This is complete and utter bullshit. My wife left me for Starliner and took the kids and you're gonna tell me it's worth $20T?!

Billionaire investor Ron Baron says he placed a $1B order for $SPCX IPO shares and has no plans to sell in his lifetime.
He believes SpaceX can grow to ~$20T over the next 10-15 years with Starlink alone potentially doing $1T in annual revenue.

The paper focuses on a major issue: how to connect high-altitude, long-endurance drones (MALE RPAS) over long distances. Legacy military networks are slow, rigid, and wildly expensive per node. The fix? Leveraging civilian 5G satellite networks (5G-NTN).

Big things are happening in the satellite-to-cellular space! If you are following the tech behind space-based 5G, a recent research paper from the Fraunhofer Institute drops a massive validation blueprint for the industry. Let's dive in.

Starship you have to stop. I need that shockwave. Art too good.
Jun 6
I just want to feel that shockwave! A couple more starship study on the way.
