Researchers @ Cambridge dug into the cost to launch stuff into space and they predict the cost of getting into earth orbit will more than halve between now and the end of the decade, and fall around 93% by 2040.
They analyzed a data set of rocket launches spanning > 4,400 launches between 1960 and 2025 to project future trends. Cost to get a kilogram into orbit has dropped from $87,023 USD in 1960 to $3,868 in 2025.
The analysis showed the cost of getting a kilogram of payload into low Earth orbit will go from ~ $3,868 USD in 2025 to ~ $1,569 (58% less) by 2030, and could reach as little as $273 by 2040.

🚀 Ah, the joys of tech blogging where turning on a server becomes the equivalent of launching a rocket into space. 🤖 Apparently, the thrill of clicking a button is so passé; real cloud wizards first build an entire data center to truly earn their stripes. And who knew? Sorting LEGO pieces was the secret to infrastructure mastery all along! 🧩🔌

Just #FYI the Boeing #Starliner launch attempt is tonight at 10:34 EDT.
People love to toot about pending #rocketLaunches but for some reason they often forget to mention what time it's happening. So there. Tune in off you're interested!

#BBC 📆 19th May 2023 There were 40 more #RocketLaunches 🚀 in 2022 than in 2021 and double the number five years earlier in 2017. "Last year, we saw more #failures 💥 than in some years, because we're starting to go through a phase where we're seeing quite a few new #LaunchVehicles being introduced. It's very difficult to really pinpoint exactly why some fail, some don't. Typically, two in the first 10 flights fail, and the first and second typically have a failure rate of something like 30%" https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230518-what-are-the-odds-of-a-successful-space-launch

@LM_Steve over at Birdsite shared a fragment of this video which I saw many moons ago at a planetarium.
It's an IMAX film called "Hail Columbia" and it's a tribute to #SpaceShuttle Columbia's maiden flight and the first STS mission
Click and VOLUME UP at 3' 48":
https://vimeo.com/16297892/recommendedIt's a collage of launch and landing footage. For those of you old enough to remember when all Americans were united behind our space program under #NASA

I'm thinking about setting up #HomeAssistant to announce upcoming #RocketLaunches (outside of work hours that is) for @Jermayan.

Interesting interactive chart on space launches by this week’s The Economist. Also cool, you can get the data used to generate the chart.
