No other traveler has ever journeyed so far from home.
Voyager 1 is about to become the first human-made object to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, or about 16 billion miles. ½
UPDATE V4.0: #SpaceX's #Starship Flight 15 infographic (unofficial), Text version. Check back here leading up to launch for any graphic updates. This is the one we have been waiting for. (The update was to step 4F, now includes a reference to the 13-to-5-to-1 engine burn).
Starship is preparing for catch
Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → https://t.co/K5XRci6bnw
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.

And on the SpaceX front is something I feel most will find too uncomfortable to admit - Elon (& ofc SpaceX/Starship/Tesla etc) - are in trouble. Getting so lost in the political sauce is not a recipe for progress.
Someone tell me I am wrong - because I really hope I will be.
Man, I RT'd this earlier but I just dont think I am feeling it at all. (as an Australian)
The divide between left & right is only growing more extreme & there is still an enormous mountain of problems to get through with an even more severe mountain of problems on the horizon.
Pretty much a guarantee that the next few months/years will be an ongoing giant mess of politics and war.
A country swinging so rapidly between 2 political parties is not something to celebrate, its just chaos and a system thats only going to continue to tear itself apart.
@Layer2Alex And if AI starts finding hardware level exploits (ie issues or exploits with how every chip on the planet functions and is designed) - its going to make our current issues look like a walk in the park...
Yep - *anything* connected to the internet.
So basically just... *everything*
All the supermarkets hit just in the past 24h must have been one of several issues spotted coming down the line relating to this 'Be Ready' campaign push (and similar campaigns for other countries).
Exactly, its not always about making money, sometimes its not even about saving money. Why not just build better and faster? Or build things you couldnt even consider building before?
Altho ofc all of those things can contribute to value or savings anyway - but my point is that there is even more value than just $$$ at times.
Yah, its the Dunning–Kruger effect but 'education psychosis' certainly fits too.
People arguing that data centers in space wont work are just yelling at clouds when it comes down to it, just angry people not wanting to be rational about technology which has already existed for decades.
BREAKING: Two critical security flaws in PHP, the programming language behind much of the internet, are forcing governments to take websites offline, per the BBC.
The flaws were found by AI. Security firm Wiz called them the “most severe vulnerabilities ever discovered” by the technology.
What to expect for flight 15 - a booster catch and a likely attempt at a Starship catch too (for the 1st time!)
Seeing both those vehicle caught will certainly be a milestone, and at this point the Starship catch looks very much on par with a booster catch. #SpaceX
