As a member of the media, I have the opportunity to leave automated cameras significantly closer than any human will be during the rocket launch. This article breaks down a multitude of complexitie…
Agreed, and the Vikings loved their ships – Njord was the god of ships and seafaring, as well as the god of wealth and prosperity – Musk likely knows the two can live together.
Similar to Greek mythology, which had the Olympians and the Titans, the Norse had not one pantheon, but two. But while the two groups of Norse gods, the Vanir and Aesir, did go to war against each other once like the Titans and Olympians, they had a mostly peaceful – if sometimes strained – rela...

Reminded me of this – great article, including the quote “Yes, Musk is being polite to Trump because he wants to save humanity in case of the totally plausible scenario wherein he can stop Trump from triggering nuclear Armageddon. It certainly has nothing to do with maintaining those generous government investments.”
The Nile River was the source of life for the ancient Egyptians and so figured prominently in their religious beliefs. At night, the Milky Way was considered a heavenly Nile, associated with Hathor…
Yeah, the cults are already in their early stages. however don’t hold your breath for a second-coming… “Hero worship can blind you to certain realities. You may believe that Musk will figure it all out, that he’ll meet production goals for Tesla, colonize Mars and power the world with batteries. But what if he doesn’t? What if Tesla runs out of cash before all these visions become a reality?”
Hero worship can blind you to certain realities. If you buy shares of Tesla, you’re buying into the idea that Elon Musk, the face of the company, has what it takes to defy the odds, quiet the naysayers and turn Tesla into a profitable company. But what if he doesn’t?
Agreed. and Gerard K. O’Neill didn’t see us sitting in a tin can. The colonies are supposed to be made of a transparent material much like glass. They are also imagined to be self-sustaining, which is a major plus during an era when “sustainable” is one of the buzzwords for off-Earth living.
No reason folk won’t give thanks to the vehicles that get them to their space hotels. Not sure about needing to worship anyone, but looks cosy enough, compared to banging around in a tin can.
Hilton Teams Up with Voyager Starlab Space Station to Create Modern Astronaut Suites
We have the floating, solar-powered Anthénea Hotel Suite on Earth, but Hilton has partnered with the Voyager Starlab space station as well as Lockheed Martin to bring the same experience to astronauts. Aside from creating modern hospitality suites and sleeping arrangements, Hilton is set to also co... Read more
Men have a right to peaceful existence – some Indians are now worshipping Musk as a way to use his name for publicity, fact is stranger than fiction in a funny old world.
These Men’s Rights Activists Literally Worship Elon Musk
Answer (1 of 5): Don’t know about the 5 years to deorbit, but it doesn’t seem to be very controversial. Maybe somebody genuinely science-y can address that, but… Is it cost effective? That’s a pretty good question, I think. And a nice candidate for very rough back of the envelope testing. So... Read more
Iridium Communications completed disposal of the last of its 65 working legacy satellites Dec. 28, while leaving open the possibility of paying an active-debris-removal company to deorbit 30 that failed in the decades since the operator deployed its first-generation constellation.
In the 1980s, NASA engineer Robert Farquhar came up with a sly plan to divert the ISEE-3 satellite from its original path to visit a comet instead. Now Farquhar has another big plan for his “baby.”
Nice, but another comment on that subject led me to ponder if the streets would only be cleaned in certain areas that could afford them. Like gated communities using money to avoid mixing with the rabble.
Keith’s Note: NASA is increasingly engaged in understanding the threats posed by collision of human-made objects in Earth orbit as well as naturally occurring threats posed by asteroids – as is evidenced by news in last week.

One day huge space stations will be thrown away and disowned, like countless enormous ships and tankers dupped around the world. Time, my friends, time is all we need.
Space Adventures have been in the game a long time now, but how many paying customers have they sent to space? Plus, the idea is about an agency not a broker or provider. Ie, somewhere you can see flights offered by multiple vendors.
No flight list on Virgin Galactic or SpaceX or Blue Origin. In most cases, you would likely just be faced with a form where you give them money and they send you marketing materials about how good it would be – hit “FLY WITH US” an you won’t see any departures list or reviews from happy customers. Slowly slowly catch a monkey.
Thanks ESA. Search their site and they have a page about space travel agencies, and yep – it’s a kids school project about how it would/could be – which indicates they are not quite there yet. lol.
Rocket Breaks claim to be a space travel agency – but nope, just a page full of marketing hype and no list of departures here. When will this finally happen for real?
See the world differently
There are some truly remarkable things to see in this world. There are glistening, snow-peaked mountains, arid deserts, tropical jungles, frozen ice caps, tranquil beaches, crystal clear seas, in fact, there is so much going on in the world, you may even feel like you don... Read more

The SuperDraco engine that provides launch escape system and propulsive-landing thrust for the Dragon V2 passenger-carrying space capsule is fully printed, and was the first fully printed rocket engine.
3D printing began to be used in production versions of spaceflight hardware in early 2014, when SpaceX first flew a flight-critical propulsion system assembly on an operational Falcon 9 flight.
A number of other 3D-printed spacecraft assemblies have been ground-tested, including high-temperature, hi... Read more
Recently, the Made in Space Recycler launched to the space station for an investigation into which materials are most effective for recycling into 3D printing filament and which ones can hold up over multiple uses without degrading. This investigation is funded and flown through ISS National Lab.
RocketLab’s Rutherford rocket engine was first tested in late 2016, and since then, over 200 of the game-changing models have been produced. Their combustion chambers, injectors, pumps, and main propellant valves are all 3D printed using electron-beam melting.

In later years he only managed a couple of words per minute. He was cheeky, and probably would love it to go slower as it went over the event horizon. Just sayin’
Interesting facts about wheelchair of Stephen Hawking. We discuss functioning of this special wheelchair fitted with speech-enabling software and hardware.
In the quest to expand our understanding of the universe beyond our home, we’ve discovered that even the most innocuous objects and processes can function very differently in the environment of space. Over the years, human beings have sent all manner of objects into space - sometimes to learn more... Read more
Bids far exceeded expectations at the Christie’s auction, which also included items that once belonged to Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein.
It’s called a Heliocentric orbit, there are plenty of probes already out there but a constellation of cubesats would help us find out more about the great life-giver for sure.
Looks like the next sun monitoring Cubesats will be flying in Low Earth Orbit rather than around the sun. Not sure if we need them around the sun for this type of mission as LEO is easier and cheaper to get to.
For NASA's next sun mission, 6 tiny spacecraft will work as one massive telescope
MIT are doing their bit too. Needs Bill Gates and that Bezoz to get on board and start dishing our incentives to make the world better, gawd knows they have it good and know they should be helping more, this would be a good way to do it. Don’t expect governments or regular businesses to put the money up.
£50k has been put up to solve city problems by the surveyors in the UK there should be a single site that lists all the individual contests that each industry is putting a prize up for.
New global competition to encourage young people to solve problems facing the world’s cities
A new global competition to encourage students and young people to find solutions to the issues facing the world’s rapidly expanding cities was launched today.
Don’t think 2021 will have a contest, so it is time others took the lead from the example and set them up for all the different things we need. like curing nasty viruses etc.
No SpaceX, but a European competition for Delft Hyperloop instead
Seven years after Elon Musk first challenged innovators to develop a functioning hyperloop system, Richard Branson-backed Virgin Hyperloop and Hyperloop TT are in a race to bring the high-speed transportation technology into the real world. Photo illustration: George Downs
ELON Musk’s outlandish dream of a revolutionary transport system is slowly coming to pass. The futuristic Hyperloop concept he created in 2013 has been successfully tested and recieved massiv…
Nice idea, I would go to London to view a SpaceX launch, just to share the excitement. Currently though it looks like I will have to go all the way to KFC, I mean KSC. 😉
Yet again the internet gets space confused with science fiction. This is what comes up when you search space themed cafe. There are some cool places but let us remember that space exploration is real, ain’t you heard of rockets?
Many space agencies have cameras on launch sites and aboard the rockets that are open to the public, but they are usually few and don’t have good image quality.
This website covers space launches (with live feeds) from the Kennedy Space Center and Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The media is allowed to photograph and film some space launches, but it is not always an easy job.
Space witches – i shit you not

Story idea done already, sort of. Easily the most important divine vessel was the Barque of Ra which sailed across the sky each day as the sun.
Yeah, the cults are already in their early stages. however don’t hold your breath for a second-coming… “Hero worship can blind you to certain realities.

Point taken, but love rather than hate already – love this tweet reply “The tin can throwers are a menace!”

True, as reliable as an Elon “5 years” you think?
There’s gold in them there orbits…
This could be your man… “More than 30 years ago, Robert Farquhar stole a spacecraft. Now he’s trying to give it back.”
Nice, but another comment on that subject led me to ponder if the streets would only be cleaned in certain areas that could afford them. Like gated communities using money to avoid mixing with the rabble.

Currently, you have to shop around to see what is on offer, this article provides a few tips on where to start looking though,

More here. This is amazing. Whole stations one day maybe. Wonder who thought of applying the idea to spacecraft first?

Now, this is more than just an idea! Relativity Space says its 3D printers can make a rocket in as little as two months.
Watch this.

…or send it to catch up with and destroy Warhol’s cock and balls sketch.
Not likely, as it’s worth over 1m bucks
It’s called a Heliocentric orbit, there are plenty of probes already out there but a constellation of cubesats would help us find out more about the great life-giver for sure.
We will finally get data about the solar poles. This is great after we sent so many small satellites around the earth.
Looks like the next sun monitoring Cubesats will be flying in Low Earth Orbit rather than around the sun. Not sure if we need them around the sun for this type of mission as LEO is easier and cheaper to get to.

Challenge Prizes sounds like another good way to get more clever minds focussing on the problems of today.
Think Elon would be pleased others are taking the challenge on board. It’s a great idea. so is having similar contests for other things.
Weird, now the bearded Virgin overlord is going for a hyperloop now that he is having trouble getting his. already paid, customers to space.
These sort of exist. here are some options. https://eu.floridatoday.com/story/news/2017/11/14/5-places-grab-dinner-drinks-perfect-view-wednesdays-spacex-launch/862075001/

I wonder who bought this and if they used it as a travelling launch viewing cafe/bar. If they didn’t they missed a trick.
