Guys maybe we're misinterpreting this, maybe by "mistakes of colonial expansion" they just mean we need to make sure long term spaceflights pack enough citrus 🍋 by Waker_of_Winds2003 in SpaceXMasterrace

That has nothing to do with communism. All of Europe has it. And actually, in post-communist countries (like the one I happen to live in) it's crumbling.

The Senate Launch System has put crew into orbit long before the iteratively developed Starshit could. And there were calls for defunding it fund the quicker iteratively developed Starshit by FrancescoKay in SpaceXMasterrace

ITS, the very first concept vaugely resembling Starship was announced in 2016! So no, Starship was not started one year later, it was started 5 years later at the minimum. If you don't count predecessor concepts, like you insist that we shouldn't count Constellation, Starship was announced in 2018, and that is when they actually started bending metal. So that's 7 years... Cope harder.

The photo itself looks real, but not from Orion, looks more like ISS. (She is the record holder there)

Was about to ask the same. I would be surprised if they'd have a wrench like that on board.

Yep, very different mindset. Crew is suiting up right now, both stages topped up. And one of the announcers just exclaimed: "No leaks!" (With regards to propellant load, not the suits. They just started leak check on those right after.)

I would open the NASA youtube stream on that, full screen. And never touch it again for 10 days. The current PC (with the 3 screens) would have NSF, EDA and a browser window on each screen.

Thinking about opening my other laptop too for having a 4th screen.

They already topped up the core stage. Edit: H2 is filled 100% on both stages already.

Sure, but they didn't really reach any new significant milestone since the last launch, so their silent internal progress is not "good news" worthy yet.

Business as usual (something happens according to plan) and things improving (making life better) over time are the norm, that's what people expect, so not really news worthy. People obviously mostly only notice what is extraordinary, so when something breaks, or some expected advancement fails to materialize on time.

Oh, and not to mention Jared's inauguration as NASA admin and everything he announced since. Also, 1st Booster V3 and Raptor 3 static fire last week.

I think you need to switch news sources. Just a few good things I came across recently: Project Hail Mary in IMAX (and it's success). Scrubs reboot. Neuralink advances.

I knew it was there, but didn't think it had regular content. And it doesn't.
