This is a load of crap. I don't think there is a single accurate fact in your entire post. 1st Point SLS and Orion were designed to go to Mars, not the moon, and that is why there was no lander. Donald Trump (the stable genius) wanted to undo everything that Obama started and nixed the Deep...

It was very exciting and the onboard cameras provided incredible views .. but at the same time begs tons of questions. Both the Booster and Starship seemed to suffer from control issues. The Booster flight looked fantastic until it entered the thicker atmosphere. Then, despite rapid and...

Fake news... The Celestis’ Memorial Spaceflight Payload containing the human remains were on the Centaur V upper stage that went into orbit around the sun. How do you get this job and not doing some simple research before you publish this crap?Space.com is a continuous disappointment.

Don't blame the FAA for doing their job. The first launch was a complete failure, a mini environmental catastrophe followed by complete loss of flight control, and a flight termination system that basically failed. This second test was better, but also rather disappointing. The Artemis...

They are not that far behind .. to be honest. And most of the delays can be attributed to a Congress that cuts their budget repeatedly, and a deadly Global Pandemic. In late 2022, the first SLS launch was an incredible success that sent an Orion Spacecraft to the Moon. Artemis II is on track...

This episode was fantastic and unlike the ridiculous disasters that are Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Orville. I'm really liking Star Trek - Strange New Worlds. The writers are finding it easy to weave plot threads from the Enterprise Crew into each episode. I hope they can keep it up. This is the...

He said the same thing a year ago...

It's safe to say that the International Space Station is the biggest misnomer of all time. Yes it is "In Space" but barely. The original vision of ISS was abandoned decades ago - where it would be used as a starting point for deep space exploration. Today, the only place you can get to from...

I agree that reusability is a good thing, but... I don't think that Starship and BFR are the right direction. It's just too damn big. Every major accomplishment in Space Exploration has been achieved by limiting weight. The Lunar Module is a prime example, it got us to the surface of the...

I wish Elon Musk would stop with these totally insane estimates for Starship. Imagine just one BFR fist stage crash would destroy 47 Raptor engines and set the project back years. And the second stage is no less complicated than a Space Shuttle.
