That’s right. Under budget AND ahead of schedule.
Looking forward to seeing the beginning of the world-changing Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope NET August 30.
I'm sorry but @Delta made and is making a huge blunder with the slow and difficult-to-implement "brought by T-Mobile" Delta Sync. I'm sorry, but as a Delta-only flyer, I'm actually a bit upset at the implementation and speeds in my flights. When Delta had in flight wifi, they were ahead. But keeping up with the times is going to require either increasing heavy investments in the current system so they can launch more satellites, or the easier and cheaper option, go with the industry leader and move on. This is almost a deal breaker, Delta was always the premium Major. In my personal opinion this is a massive and very very long-consequence blunder.
Yes, I need to make sure SpaceX stays focused on making life multiplanetary and extending consciousness to the stars, not pandering to someone’s bullshit quarterly earnings bonus!
Obviously, IF SpaceX succeeds in this absurdly difficult goal, it will be worth many orders of magnitude more than the economy of Earth, but don’t expect entirely smooth sailing along the way.
@reidhoffman The big difference between you and me, Reid, is that you went and I did not.
In fact, you went multiple times. First time was maybe a mistake, but not the second time you went.
@stigalis@king_inf3rn0@samuel_leeds Gemini is pretty biased, and "generally considered" is using some slanted opinions.
Crime rate in UK per 1000 people: 80 (CSEW)
Crime rate in US per 1000 people: 49.2 (FBI)
The point though wasn't crime rate today, but safety concerns in 1760s and thus speaking a revolution.
@aranimontes@svpino Another vote for @FrameworkPuter. The FW13 is directly better in upgradability, repairability, and customizability spec wise. They're still working on a battery life than 12-14 hours but it's decent for most workloads. If you need more power you can get the FW16.
@kevcontabby They're doing some engine out testing and pushing the booster to the limits, no need to put the pad at risk for these tests, similar to the last launch.
As was the case during the hearing: He's committed to SLS for Artemis II and III, but beyond that thinks NASA should get out of the heavy lift business. Non-committal on Gateway. Strong support for NASA's science programs. Wants a balanced lunar/Mars program. All pretty sensible.
We have confirmation #BlueGhost stuck the landing! Firefly just became the first commercial company in history to achieve a fully successful Moon landing. This small step on the Moon represents a giant leap in commercial exploration. Congratulations to the entire Firefly team, our mission partners, and our @NASA customers for this incredible feat that paves the way for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
Standby for the first image, expected in the next 30 minutes! #BGM1
