didn't stick the landing. successful flight up to that point. They're still figuring out how to land it. SN10 is standing by, thunderbirds are go.
It's $100 to pre-register for the service, ~$400 for the equipment, and ~$100/mo for the service. More than what I'm paying now, but I'm still considering it.
That’s a pic of this morning’s launch by SpaceX in Florida. The picture was taken by a TV reporter near his house in Roanoke, VA.
People from NC weren't sure what to think. https://www.wral.com/unexpected-par...spacex-satellite-launch/19575037/?version=amp
oops. SN11 blows up at 2:19:00 when they fired the rockets to slow descent. Start watching at 2:14:00 for the most fun. "It went boom. Debris is everywhere. Likely on our cameras."

Elon Musk’s SpaceX wins contract to develop spacecraft to land astronauts on the moon NASA on Friday selected Elon Musk’s SpaceX to build spacecraft that would land astronauts on the moon for the first time since the last Apollo mission, according to a source selection document obtained by The Washington Post. The contract for the “human landing system” marks another major victory for the hard-charging company that vaults it to the top tier of the nation’s aerospace companies and solidifies it as one of the space agency’s most trusted partners. In winning the $2.9 billion contract, SpaceX beat out Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. For the Artemis program, SpaceX bid its reusable Starship spacecraft, which is being designed to fly large numbers of people into deep space and land on celestial bodies as well as back on Earth.

And to think WordForge might have won that contract with our proven technology of conveyor belt, submarine, and attack otter of the ass
I can't believe how much this resembles a 50s artist's concept than actual engineering. Click on the pic to expand it. They are lowering a platform on a crane from the cargo area above!
SpaceX and NASA are targeting Friday, April 23 for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s second six-month operational crew mission (Crew-2) to the International Space Station (ISS) from historic Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window opens at 5:49 a.m. EDT, 9:49 UTC, with a backup opportunity available on Monday, April 26 at 4:38 a.m. EDT, 8:38 UTC. This is the first human spaceflight mission to fly astronauts on a flight-proven Falcon 9 and Dragon. The Falcon 9 first stage supporting this mission previously launched the Crew-1 mission in November 2020, and the Dragon spacecraft previously flew Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to and from the International Space Station during SpaceX’s Demo-2 mission in 2020.
He is a twat, but he's not wrong. SpaceX has an established track record. Blue Origin does not. Not shocking at all that NASA went with SpaceX.
