Can any Moon Landing deniers help explain how this Apollo rover scene was filmed in a studio?

I am going to make a prediction: Spaceplanes will make a comeback in the next 10-20 years. If we want to mature human spaceflight into a high volume industry that doesn’t require all passengers go through intensive training, gentler reentry and good cross range become required.

Life will not be limited to a finite world. We are going to stars. ✨

Artemis III (unofficial) Starship V3 with docking port concept art. @elonmusk will SpaceX be looking at something like this for A3?

This is probably the biggest news that came out today
Replying to @jeff_foust
SpaceX's Jessica Jensen confirms that the revised Starship HLS plan for Artemis 4 involves a Starship-Orion docking in low Earth orbit, with Starship doing the TLI burn to go to low lunar orbit.

Not sure who made this, but you did an excellent job depicting a lunar industrial base.

Space Force should dock a Dragon with a commercial space station for microgravity research: military experiments in orbit at a fraction of the cost of building their own platform. China’s program is already in the hands of the PLA, and can NASA trust vital ISS missions with the Russians onboard?

I think we know what needs to be done.

I just want to feel that shockwave! A couple more starship study on the way.

This is just the beginning of how good nuclear rockets could get. One day we could do trips to Mars in 2 WEEKS, rather than 6-9 months. Let’s explore the coolest crackpot nuclear rocket ideas in a thread🧵:

A nuclear-powered future for @NASA exploration is inevitable. SR-1 Freedom is just the beginning 🇺🇸

Trump administration will probably double down on nuclear when we are already on the edge of a total energy crisis.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good. I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector. We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

Space Force needs to get involved with asteroid deflection. I think this would be the perfect name.

Trying to play it cool with friends while knowing the entire Moon Base and Artemis III timeline probably slipped by a year.

Blue Origin gets a contract for Moon Base lander then this happens
