If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes.

I sit in awe of the feats they can do.

 Quoting: Backwash


Fortunately the Starship program is an in house program for SpaceX. They are developing it as a possible lunar lander for NASA, but that contract came along well after development started and that development will continue even if the Artemis program is completely canceled. Which in my opinion is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. NASA seems to be making moves right now to try to secure the future of the Artemis program by making it politically "safe." They announced a list of specific astronauts who are candidates to fly to the moon on Artemis

To me it kind of reads like NASA telling Biden that if he cancels the program he'll be canceling the opportunity for the first black female to set foot on the moon. We'll see what the new administration does but regardless of the outcome I'm sure the Starship will continue. If they ultimately landed on the moon or Mars without any NASA contract it will look real bad for NASA. That's an angle the new administration would do well to consider.

Cosmic Perspective worked in collaboration with Everyday Astronaut on YouTube to attend the launch of SpaceX SN8. They were able to use my tracking software to follow the rocket with a telescope and capture some stunning 4K footage of the entire flight, including the explosion at the end.

At 5:30 in this video you can see the tracking setup I designed for them:

Even though I couldn't be there, I'm very happy to see how well they were able to track it with my software. Hopefully when SpaceX lands a starship successfully, my software will be there once again.

On the contrary. The secret space program is utilizing a SpaceX Falcon 9 for a launch tomorrow morning. The secret space program is all about doing things in space, but they hitch rides on rockets like everyone else.
