Would y'all be cool if I lowered the editing/narrative quality on the BPS videos in an effort to cover more detail? Looking for honest feedback!
Hell yeah!!! Congrats to everyone working on this for getting to orbit and back safely! And congrats on not having to tow the ship back this time haha 🚀
If I were charging $316m per flight I would also be excited! SpaceX has a monopoly on US crewed spaceflight, and they kinda earned it. In the 15 years since the Shuttle retired, nobody else has built a compelling alternative
We’re excited for Falcon 9 and Dragon to launch @NASA’s Crew-15, 16, and 17 missions to the @Space_Station from Florida

A bit more detail about that nozzle erosion 🚀

Pre-flight static fire of my new N motor to launch the camera pod! A little more nozzle erosion than expected, so it's not as efficient as the sim, but it's good enough! I cast 2 identical N motors, and the other will be the first flight of my Risky Batman propellant formula 🚀
From a PR perspective, it's a bold move to do a protest like this. It works best when you're the underdog, but RocketLab has successfully been going to orbit for the last 8 years. Even if it was unfair to award this to Blue(we don't really know), it's a risky strategy imo
Rocket Lab has filed a formal protest with the Government Accountability Office challenging NASA’s award decision for the Mars Telecommunications Network.
NASA’s award decision appears to be inconsistent with the eligibility criteria mandated by Congress. In addition, the agency’s punitive review of Rocket Lab's technical volume was inconsistent, making incorrect assertions and conclusions.
Procurement standards exist to ensure fair competition and protect public investment. We are pursuing this review to ensure those standards are upheld for critical infrastructure that will underpin American exploration at Mars for decades to come.
The volume of spam email in my inbox is out of control, I can't keep up just by blocking accounts and I'm definitely missing important emails as a result. If you get a ton of spam, how do you deal with it?
Anyone have an Aerotech 98/15360 case and motor they're willing to sell? I don't even need the motor really, I just need everything except the propellant that fits in the 98/15360 form factor.
Alternatively, if anyone has a spare of this kit, that would work! They're indefinitely out of stock and it would save me a lot of time and effort if I could find one more rocketmotorparts.com/98mm_6-…
I promise you, this is one of the best space history documentaries you'll ever see. I can't believe this is free youtu.be/danwRbUUadU?si=4aN6…
