I have an extra VIP ticket for the Astro Awards, and you can have it! Reply to this with a photo/video of something you built in the last year. It can be art, engineering, etc. If you worked hard on it, share it here and I'll pick a winner from the replies at the end of the day!

Astro Awards is more than an awards show! It's a full 2 day conference featuring some of the biggest voices in the spaceflight community on panels, meet & greets, there's a party with live music & so much more! Jan 17 & 18, Austin TX! See you there! - astroawards.live

Secretly thrilled that New Glenn scrubbed because it means I might be able to stream the next attempt! I’ve been traveling all day and couldn’t make this one work but fingers crossed for next time!

never stop firing solid rocket motors, it can fix your problems

@AWeirdPhysicist somewhere around 5-10ish %! not a huge amount

@thomasbooska That is one clean burn in the first, goddamn… how much isp lost?

I’m pretty sure this is what FAR looked like during the storm last week… Tsunam-ai 😉

@ChileanAstro @milspecshitpost JLC1926 for the win, hell yeah
English
@thomasbooska @milspecshitpost Yeah, been working with GN2 to 1000 PSI no probs so far!
English
can JLC reliably make J1926 ports or should I keep throwing NPT on things
English
@ChileanAstro @milspecshitpost Have you done any gas leak checks on them?
English
@milspecshitpost I’ve used only J1926 ports and they’ve all held to 1000 PSI when I hydro tested!!! Like 40 ports with them by now! … but it’s only worked when I put the top taper in the CAD

there's such a quaint poetry about the fact that heavy dirty kerosene and complex polymer chains serve best for getting off the earth while the celestial bodies are best served by the more ethereal fuels

reminder everyone, hydrolox is peak chemical propulsion, especially for the moon. methalox for mars hydrolox for moon
