Die Falcon 9 von SpaceX hat die Raumfahrt revolutioniert.
Beim Starship will das nicht gelingen.
Eine gute Aufarbeitung der Ursachen durch Raumfahrtjournalist Frank Wunderlich-Pfeiffer.
Die Raketengleichung lässt sich mit noch so viel Geld nicht verbiegen und eine falsch konstruierte Rakete wird die anvisierte Nutzlast nicht erreichen.

@angryastro.bsky.social
Solar radiation and cosmic rays are two of the most potent threats to deep space missions.
Robots can suffer damage from space radiation. Humans are far more vulnerable.
But a new breakthrough may eliminate a lot if ghe danger and make deep space accessible!

@angryastro.bsky.social
Recently, #SpaceX applied to the FCC to launch the biggest satellite constellation in history.
By far.
A million satellites.
And they're big satellites.Launching a million satellites into Low Earth Orbit is far more dangerous to our planet than most people realize!

Space is hard. 🚀 Today’s Long March 7A suffered a launch failure, failing to place #ChinaSat 4B into orbit. An investigation is underway. Initial video analysis appears to suggest a structural failure near the upper stage, rather than an engine issue. I'm no expert though!
