** The Official Space Flight Thread - The Space Station and Beyond **

I have a gut feeling we will have confirmed in my lifetime the existence of a multiverse structure to all things cosmos.

We will never see a direct visual of the end of our universe as it gets attracted to the thing outside of it, but instead detect the presence of a body based on the effect it has on stuff in our universe much like how gravitational waves were first detected.

Amazing stuff.

New Shepherd flight to space soon. Hope they continue to get some absolutely epic shots from the drones during launch and landing.

45min hold is over, T- 7:30

And away.

shame there aren't any onboard cams. Drone cam is def win however.

That was a really odd shaped rocket - what was it carrying?

 

[Malevolence]

Wonder if it'll swat the drone away this time like it did on NS-14?

Yeah that looked really cool

Mannequin Skywalker I believe.

 

[Malevolence]

Unreal.

 

[Junglist]

All of this under 10 minutes.

simply incredible

Thanks for sharing. First time I have seen one of these launches.

Fantastic!

 

[VaderDSL]

That drone shot of the launch was epic!

 

[Junglist]

Isn't in amazing what we as humans can achieve when working together towards a common goal. Not enough superlatives to really give it the credit it deserves.

edit: I say We. I struggle with basic math - I'm not worth even tying their shoe laces

If this comes to fruition it'll be incredible.

We really need to start thinking bigger with regards to our operations in space.

Just reading that NASA have selected SpaceX Starship to land astronauts on the moon for Artemis.
I’m a bit confused as I thought this was what the SLS being tested was for?

SLS and Orion gets people to the moon and back
Starship will just be the lander

I guess you fire an empty starship on a super heavy booster at the moon then meet it there with an SLS/Orion

Not really sure why they picked it though, it seems the most unlandery or the proposed Landers, for a start you need a huge ladder to get in and out?

Reminds me so much of the space craft in the film "The Martian".

Wow - that would be fantastic, hope it gets approval!
