I’m not really into the idea of moving everything to a baby Google, even if they’re currently good about privacy. They just added an AI tool to email and a crypto wallet, which could be either awful or great signs depending on your perspective.

So does Valve?
It sounds like they still have some hope of bringing it back, so, fingers crossed.
It looks like more Venus probes will start launching over the next few years. There’s the Rocket Lab / MIT mission first, then more from the US, China, India, and Russia to close out the decade. Plus ESA’s next probe in 2032.
I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed
Better than nothing. Hopefully this prevents some deaths.
And it will hallucinate and give wrong answers
I think Jared Isaacman is my favorite space billionaire? Not that that should be a thing, but he’s at least spending his money on private missions that move technology development forward.
I’m rooting for Stoke and Radian to pull off full launch vehicle reuse.
I really want to see space agencies put out orbital debris cleanup bounties, especially for big things like spent upper stages and dead satellites.
They’ve actually done 2!
The 1st, in 2019, didn’t get to the ISS. Bad clock code made thrusters fire like crazy and run out of fuel.
The 2nd was on the launch pad in '21, but Florida air made valves seize. It launched in '22, had 2 thrusters fail, but still got to the ISS and back.
Before this crewed flight test, they’ve been replacing parachute harnessing and flammable tape.
VW must be running them
What about Substack?
I voted 3rd party in 2016. I regret it all the time.
On the issue of genocide, the vote is between more or less. Voting 3rd party, Republican, or abstaining is a vote for more genocide.
The moral high ground and smugness is worthless compared to less genocide, abortion, education, trans lives, healthcare, etc.
In 2018, right? When’s the 2nd launch supposed to be?
I hope so, but if they launch on the suborbital trajectory again because they aren’t certain about the Raptor relight for a deorbit burn, then I’m guessing a Starlink won’t be able to deploy and raise its orbit in time to not also reenter.
SpaceX, in a perfect world, just wants to be the railroad to facilitate others who want to build stations, bases, mining, recycling, etc.
As far as the greenness of rockets, recycling would be 5th in the 5 R’s:
I’m hoping this is successful enough to put Starlinks on the next one to actually get operational, but the loss of attitude control and lack of Raptor relight don’t make me super optimistic.
I set my phone to auto download playlists and podcasts on WiFi, so it isn’t really a problem. I think there was one month when I had to buy extra data so far, and that still ends up being cheaper than being on a plan with more data.
It kinda just looks like ground pork
Getting paid for on-call hours would be cool. If only.
There are private/paywalled Discord servers and forums out there, too, so this could replace some of those. I think the Reddit format is better than a lot of alternatives, so I don’t actually hate this idea.
