We’re in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe; and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved.

@Robotbeat To be fair the data is from 1963, based on a small sample size, and greatly extrapolated from the actual test time of seven days.

@brickmack @naftasux @Robotbeat @deltaIV9250 Why the jab at the EU lol, They're greatly outspending the US now

[David @DPRandomNumbers]

@SpoxSpace @brickmack @ThePrimalDino Eric Berger said in a podcast recently that Orion alone would still cost $800 million.

German financial filings reveal that ArianeGroup secured a €42 million contract from Blue Origin in 2023. In this week’s newsletter, I follow the paper trail to uncover what the European launch company was providing Jeff Bezos' rocket company.

@justincbzz How does it compare to the UK in that regard?

Its Starship launch day! That means its giveaway time! Retweet this post to be entered into a raffle to win a Super Heavy V3 Insulated Tumbler!

I'll draw the winner after (hopefully) succesful splashdown!

@saxushu Most of the support for this was due to the belief that it would be quicker and cheaper than EUS (which needed ML2)

[David @DPRandomNumbers]

@AndrewHard96304 What's the game?

[David @DPRandomNumbers]

@StatisticUrban How does this compare to recent US presidents?

[David @DPRandomNumbers]

@ScottLikedSLS That backfilling info might not be true. Eric has deleted it from the article (and the MECO podcast guy says he's heard otherwise)

[David @DPRandomNumbers]

@PhazzeeYeehaw Catching up in flight rate within a few years seems pretty optimistic I think

[Stephen Clark @StephenClark1]

There’s a stakeout in GEO, and the U.S. Space Force needs more eyes. https://t.co/GrbStioURn

Thales Alenia Space has told me that they'll share a statement early next week. I personally think this delay is a catastrophic PR failure, but I am still interested in what they have to say. I also think that while NASA Administrator Isaacman was clearly right on the facts, it was the wrong form and forum for that information, and his choice not to share the corrective measures being implemented is baffling.

[Andrew Parsonson @AndrewParsonson]

ESA has confirmed corrosion issues with HALO and I-HAB but pushed back against claims that these were the primary cause of delays to the station's development

You might have missed it, but Blue Origin just gave us the first glimpse inside the cockpit of the Blue Moon Mk 2 lander for NASA’s Artemis programme!

[David @DPRandomNumbers]

@Cosmic_Andrew1 I think it's moreso meant to be a test of the landers, e.g. life support, and their interaction with Orion

[David @DPRandomNumbers]

@philipwhiuk @SciGuySpace @SpcPlcyOnline @NASASpox Yeah, but you do that on the subsequent missions

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

Testing is officially underway for the @KatalystSpace mission to boost @NASA’s Swift.

Katalyst’s LINK spacecraft has arrived at @NASAGoddard to begin environmental testing ahead of efforts to raise the Swift Observatory back to its original orbit this summer. Extending Swift’s lifetime will allow it to continue exploring our dynamic universe and drive new capabilities for space exploration.
