...and the video you all are waiting for: birds-eye view of the ZQ-3 first stage's botched landing burn. It was *that* close you know, getting further than the first New Glenn booster did and around where SpaceX were for Falcon 9 in late 2014-early 2015!

SpaceX removed a Russian cosmonaut from Crew-12 for trying to pass on sensitive data.

I, for one, am stunned. Russians stealing tech? Spying on Western programs? Violating national security rules?

What’s next, guys, water will be wet?

So ... Trump does the same thing that Putin does in eastern european countries, mess up the airspace with GPS interference.

It's terrorism.

Starlink should not work in russia controlled areas, but I'm not sure why the coverage is not shrunk more since 2022.
Almost as if the block/allow accuracy is hundreds of kilometers?

Apparently you have no clue about the matter.

Starship could have stayed in orbit already many times.
But they are trying to accomplish something much more difficult.

HLS is not ever going to try to be "human rated" in normal sence. Just like any other lander, it is going to be manned in space.

LOL!

SpaceX HLS is a fixed price contract!

Nope.

And I'm saddened to see that NASA has continued to use terroRuzzia's rocket services.

Old stuff?

SpaceX is ~50% cheaper than the next guy and 90% cheaper than the old guy.

It is difficult to change. Billionaire can build a rocket company, normal people cannot. Government run operators cost 10x.

No-ones food money is used for "going to Mars".

After a quick calculation, less than 0,1% of the USA budget is used in Mars related activities.

Year ahead?

10 years ago SpaceX started to land their rocket boosters successfully.

They are 10+ years ahead of China.

You would just cut the USA access to space and most likely save nothing (just like what DOGE did).

NASA gets <1% of the budget. And it is useful investment.

SpaceX gets only some of that 1% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, especially when the president of the USA is friends with enemies, you can afford to cut military!

I think SpaceX is not "funded".
NASA is funded. So is the Space Force.

NASA has saved tens of billions by buying services from SX instead of old contractors.

The Space Force says it has saved up to $40B by using SpaceX instead previous/old contractors.

NASA funding is tiny. Cutting it is futile.

Fun Tom (@funtomwriter) 🔴 Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pledge for Canada to build big things again, is exciting and inspiring. 🚀 The subject of “Big Things” actually got me thinking about something I didn’t EXPECT to be th...

🔴 I still get goose bumps whenever I watch this EPIC clip from December 2015 when Musk and the team of SpaceX engineers successfully launched that reusable rocket! 💃🏻🕺🏻 🙌🏼

A beautiful team, comprised of:

I seems it exploded when it hit ground. Russia rarely use safety systems on their rockets/missiles.

Thanks Elon, nice ride.

If the contractor lead is not sane, change the contractor.

Taking over commercial business would kill the commercial interest, development stops and all cost would fall to tax payer.

I'm afraid it would work out just like before.
Politicians do their job.
->
Costs will level with SLS & others.
Space Ships that are deadly for crew.
Rockets that are insanely polluting.

Governments can not run some things in sane way.
Very often it leads to extreme waste and corruption.

You have no clue and you are not interested in learning.

Bye.

This is Alina and Vladyslav. Russia murdered them yesterday in their sick human safari in Kherson.

She was 34. He was only 6.

❗️A very quick path to peace is disadvantageous for Ukraine, – EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says that Russia is the aggressor and Europe's security directly depends on Ukraine's security

I'm afraid it would be very expensive and again stagnate rocket improvements for another 50 years.

SpaceX is unlike any other contractor.
Some estimate that the savings just for Space Force has been ~$40B,

spacenews.com/nelson-criti...

The contracts with SpaceX are different.

SpaceX is paid after positive results.

Old dudes are paid also for failures and delays.

"So did Space X."

So you have difficulty in reading.

" Do you have the numbers they blew on R&D? "

I just gave the numbers.

"And Space X owes NASA money for the use of propriety technology that NASA shared with them."

LOL!

"Contractors are part of capitalism."

Contractors made Apollo.

We do not need enemies when we have certain kind of friends.

#Ukraine #Trump #Putin #puppet

Nonsense. And I'm not interested in Tesla. if their private profits are high enough, they do what they wish.

But about the topic:
Look at the numbers. Old government contractors waste tens of billions of tax payer money and deliver far less.
