I did get to visit Blue Origin yesterday, I didn’t get to take pictures beyond the lobby, but I saw the rocket factory full of hardware. Multiple GS-2 builds, and a booster fore and aft sections being kitted out. They’re going to be able to launch a lot once booster reuse gets going.
Of course, I really wanted to know what HLS plans are, but all they’d let me know was how hard they’re working.

Cost/flight, sure. But we're proud to take the cake for total cost/kg to orbit at approx. $5.4 million/kg.

I'm pretty sure that would give us the highest rocket cost/flight ratio ever. Ignoring all the ones where it's infinite...

There are other ways, you say?

To be clear we are *far* from anything being settled, but based on what I'm hearing it seems at least 50-50 that NASA's Space Launch System rocket will be canceled. Not Block 1B. Not Block 2. All of it. There are other ways to get Orion to the Moon.

Is there a NASA project that is worse than Lunar Gateway?
Inquiring minds want to know...

Second stage failures suck shit, huh? How's it feel?
SpaceX@SpaceX
After today’s successful launch of Crew-9, Falcon 9’s second stage was disposed in the ocean as planned, but experienced an off-nominal deorbit burn. As a result, the second stage safely landed in the ocean, but outside of the targeted area. We will resume launching after we better understand root cause

Fun Fact of the day! A lot of people don’t know this because of the spray on insulation we used but LauncherOne was the worlds second orbital rocket to use fully composite tanks
