    Each #SLS and #Orion #Artemis launch costs approximately $4.1 to $4.2 billion 💰💰💰💰.

    #SpaceX’s #FalconHeavy rocket, which recovers and reuses ♻️ its boosters : $100 million 💵 per flight.

    ~ 42 Falcon Heavy launches for the price of a single SLS launch

  4. if all we want to do is fly around the #Moon 🌙 and back, a lightly modified #CrewDragon on #FalconHeavy could have done this at any point since 2020. It could be executed for well under $500m 💵, roughly equivalent to a single month of burn on the #SLS and #Orion programs. That is, for the same budget, we could fly a crew around the Moon every month indefinitely caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/202

  5. #NewGlenn is giving the #Falcon9 and especially the #FalconHeavy a run for its money. #Starship's low launch costs, high cadence, and massive payload bay could turn the industry on its head spaceinsider.tech/2025/01/10/n

    Until Starship begins commercial operations, New Glenn’s 7-m-diameter 📏 fairing may be the best option for customers whose spacecraft don’t fit in the roughly 5 m fairings of Falcons and #ULA’s #Vulcan, or to launch more spacecraft at a time aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/feat

  8. Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster, launched into space aboard SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket in February 2018, continues its journey around the sun, currently located 203 million miles from Earth, 280 million miles from Mars, and 136 million miles from the sun.

  9. 🚀 Le lancement de la navette automatique #X37B, 7e mission #OTV7, de l’US Space Force (📷), est prévu le 10 décembre prochain et ce sera sur une #FalconHeavy.
    Battra-t-elle le record de la précédente mission de 908 jours dans l'espace ?

  10. Die NASA-Raumsonde Psyche ist unterwegs zum Asteroidengürtel, wo sie einen Metall-Asteroiden untersuchen soll – und so die Entstehung von Planeten wie Erde und Mars beleuchten.#Psyche #Nasa #Raumfahrt #Asteroiden #Asteroidengürtel #Sonnensystem #FalconHeavy #SpaceX #Astronomie
    »Psyche« ist gestartet
  11. #Psyche ☄️: New data on density, #radar properties, and #spectral signatures indicate that #Psyche is likely made of a mixture of rock and metal, with #metal ⛏️💰 comprising between 30-60% 📊 of its volume psyche.asu.edu/mission/faq

    #NASA Jul 18, 2023 Psyche is set to launch atop a #SpaceX #FalconHeavy (the first #interplanetary 🪐 launch for that #rocket 🚀) from #SpaceLaunchComplex 39A at Kennedy #SpaceCenter at 10:38 a.m. EDT (7:38 a.m. PDT) on 📆 Oct. 5 nasa.gov/feature/jpl/nasa-s-ps

    The current known #asteroid ☄️count is: 1,299,396 📈 solarsystem.nasa.gov/asteroids

  12. Direct-to-#GEO (35,786 km) launches are exceptionally challenging for the #rocket. The upper stage must survive a roughly five-hour 🕔 coast to that apogee. During that coast, the rocket 🚀 must survive passes through both of #Earth’s harsh #radiation belts and maintain perfect control of its orientation and tank #pressures to keep its refined kerosene fuel from #freezing, its cryogenic liquid oxygen (LOx) from #boiling away, and itself from #bursting 💥 as its propellant warms and expands. teslarati.com/spacex-falcon-he

  13. #Shelby was a frequent #critic of commercial space in general and #SpaceX specifically. He did not believe private companies—especially those that did not do much business in #Alabama 💰 —should receive government funding.
    He also held the line in 📆 2019 when #NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine suggested that due to #delays with the rocket's development, it might be better to launch the #Orion spacecraft on SpaceX's #FalconHeavy #rocket 🚀 arstechnica.com/science/2023/0
