What else would you make a rocket out of?
Eric Burlison@EricBurlison
I toured SpaceX. What surprised me most? They are not using exotic, cutting-edge materials. They are building rockets out of stainless steel, commodity parts you could find in the Midwest. That is how you get to space cheap and often.

@kelvin61942434 Why do the limits prohibit a common bulkhead for Jiuquan?
English
It is also worth noting that the CZ-10 series is the only Chinese rocket family to use a common bulkhead in the first stage. Other rockets in the 3.8 to 4.5 m diameter are expected to launch from Jiuquan, where transportation limits prevent the use of a common-bulkhead 1st stage

@PlanetaryGao Its like long slow rowing in a water vs fast frantic peddling, you’d think the ladder would make you go faster, but it doesn’t.

turns out going fast and breaking stuff doesn’t beat patient methodical research

A very special visitor came to Ames — the designer of the Artemis II Moon mascot, “Rise.”
We welcomed Lucas Ye and his family, who joined us as we watched the Artemis II crew return back to Earth after successfully flying around the Moon.
His zero gravity indicator was selected from thousands of submissions from over 50 countries. His design was inspired by the iconic Earthrise moment from the Apollo 8 mission.
Congratulations again to Lucas!

The most depressing thing about politics is conservatives can't imagine a better future, just an imaginary past.
Liberals can imagine a better future, but struggle to get out of their own way to build it.

My Dad Took Me to the Beach Which Means You Can’t Go To space There

I grew up on Boca Chica beach. A uniquely beautiful habitat, ruined for this man’s space fantasies. These people are such bastards.

People on twitter will really be like "you believe in going to space? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy: solving our problems on Earth first" and then not solve the problems on Earth.

The man who killed an 84-year-old Thai man in San Francisco in 2021 got his entire eight-year sentence suspended by Judge Linda Colfax. The judge considered the defendant’s “traumatic” childhood background as mitigating factors for him shoving down the elderly victim, who hit his head. ngocomment.com

The judge said she believed public safety would be best served if Antoine Watson, whose fatal attack helped galvanized the Stop Asian Hate movement, was released on probation. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/gra…

When a man assaulted California politician @SpeakerPelosi's husband in San Francisco, he got life in prison with no parole.
When a man kills an Asian senior citizen for sport in San Francisco, the progressive @SFSuperiorCourt releases him.

It's official: A San Francisco judge just suspended the sentence of Antoine Watson, Grandpa Vicha's killer, and released him on probation. The judge said she thought imprisonment would have a "poor impact" on Watson. This is the state of SF courts. gli.st/lvyg5lck
