Our new booster engine, Northstar, was built from the ground up by a scrappy team focused on weight, cost, manufacturability, and performance. More than 65% of the engine is additively manufactured using our in-house 3D printing capability. Northstar can be assembled in less than a day and produces 715,000 pounds of thrust.

In an announcement today, @blueorigin unveils a new third stage for its New Glenn rockets as well as a new first-stage engine, which is called "Northstar."

The right had 2 whole years to do literally whatever they wanted. And they spent it filling their pockets, protecting pedophiles, bombing Iran, and calling people retard. Such a waste of time.

Berger’s Law remains undefeated, but this was the easiest prediction ever. With that said, Blue Origin deserves a ton of credit for moving with incredible speed since the New Glenn explosion.

Long time friend and genius concept artist friend had her design blatantly stolen.
Absolutely zero chance of legal recourse due to the location of the developer and legal costs.
Absolutely disgraceful, help get the word out. Alex deserves fair compensation and accreditation!
I did not give @ModernWarships permission to use my ekrano design, but I have to say she's looking great. Much more detailed than my sketches. Honestly if they'd just asked and sent me some $$$$ Id have had zero issue with them using it.
Its not to late to do the right thing guys

"Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR."
So y'all are just admitting that Abbott has been a dictator while he was in office?
"We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers"
And admitting that you need to "restore" separation of powers, as in you destroyed them earlier and want them back?
Shameless traitors to liberal democracy.
🚨 BREAKING: Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison IMMEDIATELY calls on Gov. Greg Abbott to call a Special Session while they still have control to strip the governor's emergency powers before Gina Hinojosa (D) assumes office
"Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR."
- Ban the governor from suspending or changing state laws
- End emergency orders after 30 days unless the Legislature ratifies them
- Stop the governor from reissuing orders that expired or that lawmakers rejected
- Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
- Fast-track court challenges to emergency orders
"We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat."
He says he supports doing this for ANY governor, Republican or Democrat, but this makes it particularly pressing.
Honestly — Texas got wiped out. The clock is ticking!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Rep. Brian Harrison filed HB911 in 2022 to restrict these same emergency powers for any governor, stating they undermine separation of powers and should be opposed irrespective of party. Abbott has repeatedly issued/renewed disaster declarations exercising them.

Elon Musk moving to Texas to get away from Dems, becoming the biggest partisan megadonor in history, then spending around a half-billion dollars to have his own state go blue immediately in the next election — with data centers the top gov issue — is pretty impressive

With the money Musk lit on fire in Texas he could’ve developed a standard payload bay for Starship.

Hearings, subpoenas for Musk, Witkoff, Kushner, Don Jr., Eric, Beach. It should be a C-Span limited series.
