The #engineering challenge of radiating heat 🌡️ in space is well understood—there’s no cutting-edge physics here. The difficulty will be in doing it more efficiently than current #SpaceStation systems. #Latency is a speed bump that might mean certain kinds of workloads aren’t a good fit, but it’s not a showstopper

The bulk of expenses in operating a #SpaceStation will come from transporting crew and cargo to the facilities.
#SpaceX’s launch activity will migrate to #Starship. Keeping #Falcon9 just to support #CrewDragon would certainly increase the price.
Even if #SpaceX raises crew transportation prices, it seems unlikely that #Boeing will be able to compete on reliability or cost. Another alternative is #BlueOrigin, which has been working on a crewed vehicle to fly atop the #NewGlenn rocket

The document leaves companies with some key questions, including just how much funding is available and how many companies will be dividing that funding up. A final RFP could come in September, which would then allow companies to bid for contracts. Awards could be made next spring.

If you're in London (or Southern England) the ISS is going to make a fly over pass between 23:30 and 23:40 (a little earlier for West of London).
If you're further North than London, the ISS shows further South.
Almost straight overhead. It's going to be bright.
