Btw don’t expect any good launch photos if any, this is my first ever rocket launch so I’ll mostly be focused on watching it with my eyes rather than through the camera..

Starship is preparing for catch
Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

my main takeaways;
A; this is such a Shaped creature. reminds me of soviet oxrich engines.
B; no more dedicated spinup turbine at the head of the fuel pump mounted externally. Just normal gas injected ahead of the turbine.
C; as expected still architecturally identical to BE4
D; Whoa momma that's the fattest fuckin' ball valve I've ever seen on an engine (the MOV)

the world is too pessimistic about AI in the next 5 years.
and far too optimistic about the next 50 years.

Very pleased to announce our newest X-plane, the X-70 Fractal, is joining the @NASAaero fleet to research and develop advanced flight control technology far beyond anything tested in a crewed aircraft. She will take flight under the @NASA banner within the next two years. The science fiction future we imagined as children is ours to build... and I promise, there will be more 🇺🇸
🚨 BREAKING: Introducing X-70 Fractal, @NASA's newest experimental aircraft!
This crewed, modular aircraft will allow the agency to rapidly swap out internal & external payloads to help keep pushing the frontiers of aviation technology! @nasaadmin
Details: go.nasa.gov/4kAeM0d

West Ham paid around £2m to sack Nuno, but could have sacked him without compensation in May.

There are people out there who think the people building interplanetary spaceships can't figure out how to handle a little bit of sand.
Mars is toxic to human life.
RIP trillionaire dreams
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mars dust ultrafine particles and perchlorates pose inhalation risks that require mitigations for astronauts, but NASA and lead researchers describe this as a manageable design challenge that can be prepared for and overcome, not evidence that Mars is toxic to human life.

Went off-roading yesterday. The four-million-pound launch bridge is being driven back into position today by self-propelled motorized transporters (SPMT). We placed dirt in the flame trench to provide a ramp for the SPMTs to gently set the bridge atop it.
Instead of Space Age carbon fiber or aluminum-lithium, SpaceX is building its Starship rocket out of stainless steel.
Stainless steel is easy to weld, far cheaper, and under the right conditions, it has a similar strength-to-weight ratio as carbon fiber.
