  1. #ArsTechnica says "The suborbital space tourism industry is on life support".

    Well, duh. Some ridiculously high price for 7 minutes of microgravity (or whatever) is bullshit. You don't even reach the Kármán line (100 km)! They redefined some other threshold at 80 km just so you could say you went to space. Hint: if you have to redefine a common, long-agreed term, you're not adhering to the letter or the spirit of the law/guideline.

    It's orbit or GTFO.

  7. #KnowledgeBit: The #KármánLine line is a boundary 62 miles (100 kilometers) above mean sea level that borders #Earth's atmosphere and the beginning of #Space.

    The Kármán line is named after Theodore von Kármán (1881-1963), a Hungarian American engineer and physicist who was the first person to attempt to derive such an altitude limit.

  9. Accomplishing a full-duration #SuperHeavy burn 🔥 without any engine failures is a significant step forward for the #Starship program. Engine #reliability was one of the top concerns identified by #NASA's #LunarLander 👨‍🚀 program manager.
    The transition to #HotStaging on Starship will increase the rocket's #payload 📦 capacity.
    #Starship soared above the #KármánLine, the 100-kilometer-high internationally recognized boundary of #space 🌌, and kept climbing, eventually peaking at an altitude of 149 kilometers.
    The deluge system 💦 worked as it should. There were no chunks of large debris around the #LaunchPad after Saturday's liftoff. arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/
