@SpaceInMiBrain @DJSnM It helps to be able to shoot the people that don’t follow the timeline.

@DJSnM It's hard to compete with a firm national will, large GDP, and a long term funding plan that won't be interrupted. Living under an authoritarian regime is a high price to pay but that's the reality.
English
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the US's difficulty in funding collaborations with other countries leads to China achieving this before Europe & USA.

@DJSnM And which - faking surprise - China *is* doing as recently described in the paper spj.science.org/doi/10.34133/r… ("Recent Development of the Laser Interferometer for Taiji Space Gravitational Wave Detection") -> english.news.cn/20260509/b4fa9… ...

@Fun1k @DJSnM @eager_space You think they haven’t tried that. They keep coming out, jumbled up at the end.

Scientists ‘discover’ you can get to Mars and back faster…. If you travel faster.

@penderbook @PlantPolyploidy @DJSnM I’ve heard that they’re so fragile now that if you touch them, they fall apart. The old ones cost millions of dollars and we’re good for maybe one or two wearings. The new ones will have to be good for multiple wearings.
English
@PlantPolyploidy @DJSnM Well, they are pretty old now, and a little worn.

Here's a solution to the Lunar suit issues for Artemis.

@MarkJorda18460 @jeff_foust They’re not gonna orbit the moon even once. The spacecraft doesn’t have the power to go into orbit. They are just going around the moon.
English
@jeff_foust One would think with today’s such advanced technology we could send a fkn rocket to space just to have 4 astronauts orbit the moon a few times and come home.

Bad news for Artemis 2: "NASA is taking steps to potentially roll back the Artemis II rocket and Orion spacecraft to the Vehicle Assembly Building… This will almost assuredly impact the March launch window."

@Marc_Topaz @thejackbeyer Nonsense that wouldn’t take SpaceX out.
English
@thejackbeyer And when the AI bubble bursts, because there not a single AI company or division is currently profitable or likely to be soon, we lose Mars because we lose SpaceX with it. 😒
English
Sigh. The full AI enshittificaiton of our exciting spacefaring future begins.
Robin@xdNiBoR
Elon just send out a internal email that SpaceX acquired xAI.

@Jakob_Mi_ @DJSnM It was at Ellenton Field in Houston. All runways at big airports and Air Force bases have cameras saved at them.
English
@PiscitelliPhil @DJSnM Because NASA doesn’t get their own airplanes. They have to use hand me downs. They only have three. There’s no other airplane in the world that can do this. Develop a new airplane cost about $10 billion. And if you only need three of them, it would probably take 20 years.
English
@Evil_MerlinX @StigTheWhite @DJSnM When you only need three of an airplane and nobody else needs it and developing a new one which cost $10 billion There’s nothing else you can do can do.
English
@StigTheWhite @DJSnM For the same fucking reason we are still flying B-52s built in the early 1960s, and refueling aircraft built in the late 1950s. Because they do what they need to do and do it well and there is nothing to replace it with that can do the task as well as it can.
English
@ReallyBigRocks @StigTheWhite @DJSnM They have to be able to fly high to capture video of rockets. Let the launch and re-entry of starship.
English
@StigTheWhite @DJSnM Much like the U-2, there's nothing else with its capabilities. The closest thing would be a Global Hawk, but they have less payload and a lower flight ceiling.

@GarySpudWilson @sentdefender Epstein is dead. In more ways than one.

@sentdefender It will possibly happen only when the Epstein heat gets hot again. Then... pow!

The Jerusalem Post has received multiple indications that the United States is considering an intervention in the ongoing protests across Iran, with Israel also checking to see if the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro will make action possible against the Iranian Regime.

@KaileyKetchum I live in Texas. I tried the whole driver license thing and trying to do facial ID too. I couldn’t get anything to work I gave up.

@Luath9 @Erdayastronaut A lot of people figured then it would take 10 launches to get it right. So this isn’t much behind schedule. What nobody figured is that it would take years to get to that number. Most of that had to do with government regulation.
English
@Erdayastronaut EA, I like you, you're a good kid, but the excuses for Starship are starting to wear a little bit thin, failing in the early stages is understandable, not five years down the road. Something is rotten at Starbase.
English
This is the beauty of having a massive manufacturing capability! Losing a massive booster would be a year+ set back for just about every other program, but it's only a month set back for SpaceX.
SpaceX@SpaceX
The Starbase team plans to have the next Super Heavy booster stacked in December, which puts it on pace with the test schedule planned for the first Starship V3 vehicle and associated ground systems. Starship’s twelfth flight test remains targeted for the first quarter of 2026.

@eyedyealot @SciGuySpace Every new airplane has his wings bent until they break. New ships have a bomb exploded next to them.
English
@SciGuySpace did it ever occur to you that they may have done this on purpose? Im not saying they did, but isn't that part of the process. to find it's limits?

SpaceX's newest Starship booster fails during pre-dawn testing on Friday.

Super good Starlink internet deal available in parts of the US that are not already at full capacity!

NEWS: SpaceX has introduced a new cheaper $40 per month @Starlink plan in the U.S. with speeds up to 100 Mbps. The new "Residential 100 Mbps" plan incudes: • Upload speeds not limited • Unlimited data each month • $0 kit & free installation • 100 Mbps capped The new residential Starlink plan lineup in the US: • $40/month (capped at 100 Mbps) • $80/month (up to 250 Mbps speeds) • $120/month (400+ Mbps speeds) The new $40/month plan is currently only available in certain areas of the U.S. (photo of which areas it's available is in the thread below).
English
@VikingShelters @elonmusk @Starlink That would go way once starship gets underway. The bigger satellites have plenty times of capacity, but they can only be launched with starship. That’ll be six months from now.

These are scientific facts
So stop testing and making nuclear weapons and find a peaceful ways to solve your problems.

@DianaBende76939 @LeadingReport Let’s face it nobody in Congress votes on important matters based on their reasoning of what are they right or wrong?. 99% vote according to the party line. What are the bail is good or bad has no consideration.

@4paulryan @Marc_Kenyon @ElephantSignal They have customer support just not the kind that people want. Most people to have real issues have no trouble getting service. You just can’t talk to anybody on the telephone. But when most people dishes were broken, they were supposedly free of charge.
