Apogee is here to discuss the diverse technology, design, strategy, and politics that shape our journey beyond our nest, the Earth.

Its the beginning of a new era!
Excited to launch The Apogee Shop today! I'm going to be creating a bunch of cool space products.
Check it out!

I'll be making more and more space related products, some pretty unique ones on the burner.
In the meantime I'm launching with 9 products, all designed by me.
Super Heavy and Falcon 9 tumblers, S29 and JWST Posters, and a fun shirt!
Havenβt had the energy / desire to post regularly on the channel lately. I may return to videos in the future.

T-12 hours until the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket; targeting ~8:00 a.m. CT for liftoff β https://t.co/bJFjLCilmc
My videos cannot garner even 1/3rd of my subscriber count. So spending many weeks making 1 video really isn't tennable at this point.
I may be able to produce videos that are just talking with a few key graphics scattered throughout. Would this be desirable?
I have found that I don't really have time in my life for manking Youtube videos the way I used to. I'm kind of at a crossroads, because my videos stood out due to their animation style.
Would you watch Apogee videos if their production quality drastically reduced?
Alternatively, this could be Polaris 2 (in a Crew Dragon).
We know nothing about that mission.
Polaris 1 is testing high altitude Crew Dragon flight and EVA suits. The exact 2 things needed for a Hubble Servicing Mission.
@JoeRiss5 Definitely could, and that could potentially be a better route. But I am just trying to mention the simplest route without making too long of a video. π
See, putting a Centaur V on New Glenn, or Orion ontop of Starship isn't THAT crazy...

To attempt to reduce costs during SEI, several heavy rocket configurations were studied using clusters of existing stages. This vehicle featured a first stage made from ten evolved Shuttle SRBs, a second stage built around 3 ET-sized tanks and 6 SSMEs, and a new third stage
