  3. Wait, it was an upper stage failure? That's nice to hear. I was worried that reusing the lower stage was being problematic, but it might just be that Blue Origin needs more experience in orbital launches.

  5. Blue Origin just successfully reused the lower stage of their heavy-life launch vehicle. The engines were new and some of the avionics were upgraded, but it's still really exciting. Especially since they landed it again.

    I can't wait to see what kind of impact this will have on the launch market.

  7. A missione in corso, confrontiamo la timeline di Artemis II con quella dell'Apollo 11 per scoprire le differenze e ciò che aspetterà gli astronauti di Artemis III. #artemis #apollo11 #astronautics youtube.com/watch?v=wrP1O5KORjk

  9. When will the Artemis program have done enough to have a book written about it? And how long will it take for the details of those accomplishments to trickle down to the authors?

  10. Does the poor audio quality remind anyone else of Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope? Specifically durring the battle of Yavin.

  15. I just finished the book *Star Bound*. It's a great introduction to the history of the American space program. It's non-technical and aimed at laymen. If you think rockets are cool & can read a book with no pictures, then you're smart enough to read it. It's humorous, but its humor never gets in the way.

    I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who thinks it looks interesting.

  17. SpaceX could lose contract for Artemis 3 astronaut moon-landing mission, acting NASA chief says: 'The problem is, they're behind'

    Speaking as someone who doesn't lose their mind whenever Elon Musk is involved, I think this is a good thing. Not only are they behind, but a **lot** has changed since the contract was awarded too.

  19. Space enthusiasts aren't very enthusiastic right now. Many of them believe China will be the first to return to the Moon in 2027. But don't forget, the space race started when the USSR beat the USA to orbit.

  21. Come ci ha ricordato Simone Fini in un suo video, "Spazio:1999", la mitica serie di fantascienza trasmessa per la prima volta dal 1975 al 1977, ha compiuto 50 anni. Celebriamo l'evento tentando di pilotare l'iconica "Eagle One" sul simulatore di universo Space Engine. #spaceengine #space1999 #astronomy #astronautics

  25. Generic (English) — Astronaut
    NASA — Astronaut
    Roscosmos — Cosmonaut
    CNSA — Taikonaut
    ISRO — Vyomanaut

    Officially, ESA uses astronaut, but what would you call them? Wiktionary.org lists spationaut.

    They follow a pattern of a space-related word truncated to 2 syllables followed by the suffix "-naut".

    It's important that the word (or some variation of it) is understood and pronounceable by as many EU citizens as possible.

  27. I've been reading Robert Zubrin's *The New World on Mars*, and it's great thus far. It details how we could settle Mars and why we must.

    He's been teasing a Phobian skyhook, and I can't wait to read about it.

    He has another book, titled *The Case for Mars*, which describes a practical, near-term plan for manned exploration of Mars. I might read that next.

  31. Grazie a Fab esploriamo il modello dettagliato del modulo giapponese della ISS (International Space Station) e, visto che ci siamo, perché non fare una passeggiata spaziale all'esterno della stazione con una simulazione creata con Unity? #unrealengine #unity3d #spaceengine #astronautics #iss #simulator youtube.com/watch?v=w2grX5B4cE

  32. Topics that are close to my heart: #Microbiology, #Evolution, #Parasites, #Symbiosis, #Fungi, #DeepSea, #Astrobiology, #PlanetaryScience, #Astronautics, history & philosophy of science.

    Things I don't want to touch: medicine and anything about human body (except parasitology) - too far from my expertise and too high stakes, also math, physics, computer science.

  33. Imagine you go to a Bible study and you pray for two of your church members who are astronauts and currently stuck on the international space station…

    I mean, we all know one guy in our church or football club that is on the space station, right? But two at the same time … 🤔

  34. It is remarkably silent about the #Odysseus #moon lander from #intuitivemachines, however, that communication suggests that it will be shut down today, due to lack of power. At least some science experiments will not have collected any data. Going to the moon is hard and expensive. Apart from India and China the rest of the world doesn’t seem to be able to land properly on the moon (yet).

  38. A global system of management was defined by the International Academy of in its 📆 2006 study as a "set of technical and regulatory provisions for promoting safe access into outer space, operations in , and return from outer space to free from physical or radiofrequency interference."

    There remains a spectrum of views internationally regarding the feasibility and advisability of an actual international management organization (#ISTMO) rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/
