I like vacuum environments with lots of radiation where gravity is the only force that really matters
What will happen to Exomars and its partnership with NASA, while NASA is being slaughtered by the DOGE? Time to move to Ariane 6 and hire the fired JPL team for helping out with the landing?
Bringing humans to Mars and back to Earth requires at least 66 Starship launches. And none of those launches should create fireworks in the Caribbean like FT7 and FT8. We are not there yet. No stars and stripes on Mars in this Trump term.
Ariane 6 first commercial launch a succes. Starship FT8 a failure. Intuitive lunar lander toppled into a crater. Just the last day in Space.

People being misled that US is going to put stars and stripes on Mars in this Trump term. Very maybe, we will see an uncrewed Starship land on Mars in the coming 4 years. Note that 7 Starship tankers are needed to fully load up a Mars bound Starship that can land a payload of about 35 ton on the surface. If a crew would be onboard they would be stuck. To bring them back either you have to build up a CH4 production & tank farm, or deliver a Mars Ascent Vehicle and a return starship filled up by Starship tankers from Earth. Both options require about 50 Starship launches from Earth.

The lights are fading in the once shining city on a hill, that was once the USA. Law and order, freedom of speech is only for law, order and speech that is liked by a few. Muskjugend going in government agencies bringing down websites., Trump wanting land grabs for real estate fantacies where a genocide is going on. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and walks like a duck, it probably is a duck. This is not a 'probably'. It is fascism and I dont want anything to do with it. Shame on the Trump voters.
Great day at the Space Tech Expo in Bremen today. Met so many old and new space friends. Topping the day off with Starship's FT6 launch at 23:00 CET.
Finished Metal Gear Solid 1 on retropie. Played it like a fiddle.
From Dawn Aerospace press release on delivering thrusters to AF: Platinum group metals are a finite resource on Earth yet are necessary in a wide range of important technologies. They’re used in medical devices such as pacemakers and are a crucial element in some cancer treatments. They’re also used as catalytic converters in cars to reduce harmful emissions by up to 90%, and they’re an essential element in hydrogen fuel cells that will help the world transition to a lower emission economy.
Trying to work out Satellite Orbit kepler elements from 2 azimuth, elevation, time observations of the satellite
Unpopular opinions: - Executing BBQ on coal should be left to professional chefs. Not by the neighbours. #SmokeAlarm - Driving little scooters on gasoline should be forbidden for the excruciating noise they are making and the awfull smell of unburnt fuel they exhaust - Formula-1 is a waist of energy both for the viewers as the organisations participating - Famous soccer players should be largely ignored for the spoilt kids they really are - Borders should be abolished. Can't even see most of them from Space
