Did a "pd" session for science teachers a while ago about rockets. here is the handout..there is some simple theory and questions involving the math of rocket thrust if so inclined..answers at the end to see how you did. :) jabe.com/Space/Rocketpd…
When we want to safely and repeatedly return from the surface of the Moon, everyone will quickly realize this technology is the bottleneck. It deserves SO MUCH MORE than Phase II STTR funding!
“bro, i was there when spacex streamed starship sn5 hop test”
NEWS: NASA is planning a bigger @SpaceX Moon mission role using Starship, in a massive blow to Boeing. With the new proposal, Boeing's SLS would no longer be used to boost Orion close to the moon. Instead, Starship and Orion would dock in Earth orbit, giving Starship the pivotal role of propelling the capsule to the moon’s orbit, before taking astronauts down to the surface. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
President Trump’s decision to take the war to Kharg Island - the crown jewel of Iran’s oil and gas economy - was necessary, bold and in my view, highly effective. This will help shorten the war.

We are going to unsanction Iranian oil to punish Iran. No they really said that.
LOL Trevor Milton is raising $1B at a $4B valuation for an autonomous jet (consumer and military), says the most wealthy people in the world say “we can trust you now” because of the Trump pardon, and Trump affiliates are helping him. Good luck! wsj.com/business/trevo…
NEW 🔴 President Trump is reportedly considering withdrawing U.S. forces from the Strait of Hormuz, leaving its defense to allies.
Starship's production site at Starbase Texas, aiming for a rate of 1,000 Starships per year. What is Starship's target $ price/kg to LEO? @elonmusk
The secret plan is out! Two great articles today about our plan to capture a small asteroid and bring it into Earth orbit. The concept is part of our New Moon mission, which explores relocating a small near-Earth asteroid into a controlled orbit as the first step toward building industrial infrastructure in space. Our team has been developing the key technologies for this approach for years, including capture mechanisms to constrain and move small asteroids and orbital debris. Accessing materials already in space could eventually enable a new generation of industries beyond Earth. If you're interested in the future of space resources, these articles are worth a read. hashtag#space hashtag#asteroidmining hashtag#spacetechnology hashtag#spacex hashtag#venture
