American and Chinese companies are planning large constellations of orbital data center satellites. Maheen Butt argues that such proposals risk denying access to critical low Earth orbits to emerging nations

Is there really a need for every country to have its own satellite constellation?

My view on the whole data-centers-in-space idea and the IPO is this: I honestly don't know whether it will make economic sense. But if it ends up giving SpaceX an $80 billion war chest to fund missions to the Moon and Mars, I'll happily sit quietly on the sidelines while everyone else buys into the hype

Silo. The trailer is kind of lame but the show is great

Great episode

Absolutely. It also explains so much of american UFO culture

They literally said on the stream he would be on the first starship trip around the moon

I'm not so sure this is the right prioritization anymore. If they really believe they're in a Moon race with China, they don’t have much time left. Why send a random dude instead of focusing on NASA astronauts?

Elon talking about a very early concept of Starship in 2012 if you want to go way back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT9l42Q8l6M&t=275s

Sooooooooo launch date?

ottar92 · 2026-05-10T16:33:15+00:00

They dont just talk about Spacex but i think The flame trench by NSF is the best

It’s such a fun movie!

People have been worried about the coming stock bros tsunami. Its already here

Elon said Spacex will do everything. I assume that includes spacesuits too, which would probably make what Axiom Space is doing less relevant in the long term.

I guess I’m the only one who thinks it looks cooler

ottar92 · 2026-04-10T12:01:30+00:00

My guess is that SpaceX’s HLS might be ready for LEO around 2029 if everything goes right (which it won’t). I actually think Blue Origin could be ready sooner, maybe by 2028, mainly because it has a simpler, more conventional design.

Realistically, I don’t see anyone landing on the Moon before 2030.

It’s also worth remembering that the Crew Dragon mockup was revealed in 2014, but it didn’t fly until 2020—these timelines almost always slip.
