Yeeting shit into space since 2020

Elon Musk says President Trump called for a return of the former Starliner astronauts "as soon as possible," but NASA already assigned SpaceX to ferry them home during the Biden administration.

The departure of the Crew Dragon Freedom was delayed from late February to no earlier than late March due to additional work needed on the fifth and newest Dragon spacecraft.

Is the Ship of Theseus the same Systems Engineering project or a new one each time?

The US military’s X-37B spaceplane program will remain under Air Force management for the foreseeable future, and won’t join other Pentagon space programs turned over to the Space Force after the establishment of the new service branch last year.

Working from home is interesting. I've been using my bed as a separate desk for papers. I wonder, will I go through a withdrawal like Dwight with Megadesk?

I was in charge of buying a washer/dryer and internet for my house. The switch to adult happened... I need to do something really immature and dumb to even it out

The only downside to my laptop: the camera is at the base of the monitor, so you either see my chest or the underside of my nose. To correct this issue... I knew these textbooks would come in handy

[Sean Tibbetts @Sean_Tib]

Now would be a perfect time to buy that $1500 space suit and pretend I'm in a moon base

Most of my day is spent fluctuating with being amazed by our members on the rocketry team, and wondering how the hell I'm gonna manufacture and pay for most of these parts of our liquid rocket engine

[Sean Tibbetts @Sean_Tib]

Today I was so unproductive I almost responded to a spam email with the guy's first name, just to see what would happen.

@miyares_dave @vectorlaunch Thanks!

[Sean Tibbetts @Sean_Tib]

@goathobbit @vectorlaunch Both pressure and pump fed engines can have 3D printed components though. Do you think because of their small package and relatively short burn time they'll be pressure fed? They don't seem to have turbine exhaust feed systems
