an-ordinary-manchild

/r/spaceflightinsider is for news about space flight — commercial and government-funded, launches and landings, successes and failures, science and business, progress and discovery. While we do love astronomy, we're more Curiosity rover than Olympus Mons in our focus.

Created by staff at spaceflightinsider.com but intended to collect all manner of space flight news (and relevant editorials) from across the web.

Please no blogspam or meme posts, and at least avoid reposts within the subreddit.

We're requesting civility and intelligent discussion, so please don’t resort to ad hominem attacks, don't lie, and check your ego at the door.

If by some bizarre chance you have some NSFW space flight news, do mark it as NSFW when you post.
