"Satellite operators are in panic mode due to a worsening launch crisis" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - #SpaceX has been making noises of phasing out #Falcon9 rockets when #Starship is ready. Concern is growing in the #space industry that it would pull the rug out from under many smaller satellite customers where competing launchers (#RocketLab #Neutron, #ULA #Vulcan, #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn, etc) aren't yet ready to fill the gap. https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/08/theres-a-huge-launch-crunch-right-now-and-it-will-probably-get-worse/ #NewSpace #business #economy

"Blue Origin narrowing in on root cause of catastrophic rocket accident" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - #BlueOrigin has identified the part which failed in the May explosion of a #NewGlenn rocket during a hot-fire engine test. It was a liquid oxygen valve on a BE-4 engine. However, they don't yet know how that part failed, and therefore the root cause of the explosion. Investigation continues. Once identified, existing engines can be fixed. https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/08/blue-origin-narrowing-in-on-root-cause-of-catastrophic-rocket-accident/ #NewSpace #space #business

#BlueOrigin hat die Ursache für die Explosion der New-Glenn-Rakete gefunden: Ein defektes Sauerstoffventil am BE-4-Triebwerk war schuld. Nun laufen die Reparaturen unter Hochdruck. https://winfuture.de/news,160478.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

SPACE · Blue Origin traces New Glenn explosion to one bad valve

CEO Dave Limp says a faulty oxygen valve caused the May 28 pad explosion that destroyed a rocket and damaged Blue Origin's launch site.

U.S. Gov's FAA is proposing to amend space launch licensing regulations to "reduce regulatory burden" for space operators.

The proposed rule would waive requirements from 13 federal laws for certain commercial space licenses including: National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, parts of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act and several other and natural resource laws.

The proposal is now open for a 30-day public comment period. https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/liftoff-trumps-transportation-secretary-sean-p-duffy-announces-major-move-streamline

The United State of America spent billions of dollars and built massive complexes to reach the moon.

And we had the plans and capability to get to Mars by the early 1980s.

But only months after reaching the moon, the president made a decision that ended all of it.

Excellent interim solution for New Glenn testing. We expect NASA's Pegasus to arrive at KSC next month to pick up Blue Origin's New Glenn second stage for Stennis B-2 stand testing.

NASA begins "stacking" the SLS for Artemis III - the next crew'd mission to test docking procedures with test versions of one, or both, lunar landing systems from Blue Origin and SpaceX, in earth orbit.
