SpaceX and other space stuff
- Thread starter bholder

The genius of it is that external customers pay for the rockets, then they're essentially free (pay for the cost of gas) for SpaceX to use for their own payloads! I don't see how any Starlink competitors will fare very well...
Yeah that's about the clearest I've ever seen except for about a second of flash glare:
Been much better since they upgraded the droneships with dual Starlink transceivers.
SpinLaunch onboard camera shot from their recent test. If you watch in full screen you can see the payload shoot out of the launcher. And if you slow down the playback speed, you can see the revolution in the launcher.
I guess everything vaguely space-related is required to have an overwrought, Michael-Bay-esque peudo-adventure-drama soundtrack, all 16th-note violins and pounding tribal drums, to convey its EPIC SPACE SERIOUSNESS!!!11.
Would have been more fun with this:
That's about what I thought when I played the video. Just wasn't needed and didn't work, almost irritating in the obviousness of choosing that type music. The subject of the video was very cool.I guess everything vaguely space-related is required to have an overwrought, Michael-Bay-esque peudo-adventure-drama soundtrack, all 16th-note violins and pounding tribal drums, to convey its EPIC SPACE SERIOUSNESS!!!11.

Sounds like they're going for the "Game of Thrones" theme effect.

Yes! THAT would have been epic!
See the test pic in the article. This is gonna be great!

Look how much sharper the same section of sky is with Webb than Spitzer:

Well...Poop! I hope that doesn't come to pass. Those NASA folk are quite clever, I'm keepin' the faith. Still, if it dies, it dies with honors. One hella experiment.
It went from an afterthought that most of the rover scientists didn't even want, to a mission critical part they're willing to shut down the whole show for. I think all future rovers will have flying companions. Aerial Reconnaissance FTW!

Sorry, no Muse content. This is the real thing.

This is the real thing....unless you cross the event horizon.The article said:
It’s probably still gentle, that gravity is so powerful you won’t feel a thing. I understand that it is so powerful that if you fly too close to, not the event horizon, but close, time will slow down so much that what you think was a few minutes might be ten thousand years once you leave. It can warp time/space that much....unless you cross the event horizon.
I can’t say it is 100% painless, but I bet it is really quick!
Yep! It'll be over for your feet well before it is your head, but then, that's... relatively speaking.
