This is quite stupendous in administration.

reaching orbit. If that flight failed, SpaceX would've not exist. And that's probably one of the reason why Elon Musk pushed the go orbit.

There's a reason why Amazon bought the initial token 3 flight from SpaceX a couple of years back. That and the possibility of investor lawsuit over self dealing with anyone but SpaceX prior to that purchase. Meanwhile Blue Origin is grounded until the FAA investigation is over and they need to rebuild the launch pad. They have to demonstrate to the FCC that they made best effort to satisfy the launching of the satellite. They got their extension.

that's supposed to be in place.

is second to none. Your information is safe. We never delete anything. Trust us.

World is not ready for 2 KM of ice over Montreal. We're currently in a brief pause (100k years) in the glacial era.

A lot of gun deaths are suicides. Men makes up the vast majority of that.

It actually has a cascade failure during the landing burn. It's something that I have every confidence they'll work through.

It's only a matter of time before they can nail the landing. One of the engine failed to reignite for the landing burn and it took out the rest of the engines.

NASA will have to throw significant amount of money to SpaceX, Northrup Grumman or Boeing to make an adopter to dock to Soviet Standardized Vehicle Port Zvezda has. They also need to figure how to transfer hypergolic propellant from the vehicle to Zvezda. Both are non-trivial amount of redesign and fab.

Those issue takes time to for the fix to propogate.

like mean tweets and misgendering than actual crime to investigate.

Not the first time government did something to catch cash transaction for tax dodging purpose. I remember there was a case where the government rebalanced their currency and force EVERYONE to take their cash money and exchange them for the new one (the old one will become worthless). This would also temporarily catch tax dodgers who cannot account for why they have so much cash. That of course did not last as the subject goes right back to using only cash or other equivalent.

got compromised. Be safe out there.

It's a test flight. They have to test out a lot of things. It's interesting that they don't make the same mistake twice. Flight 7-9 are all partial failures due to different issues. They fix the issue that caused the uncontrollable spin for Flight 9, so they can finally do the tests they intended to do. Flight 11 is probably the last V2 iteration of the program, and onto V3.
