Space Exploration megathread

Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Less the technical aspects and more the operational aspects.

For example, accountability for physical security. The recent range violations is a MASSIVE problem. I understand that is currently being handled by local government, but VERY BADLY. When a truck hauling a boat comes driving by your rocket during propellant load you are doing something VERY VERY VERY wrong. lolol

That's what I expect the FAA to help with, the mundane yet still critical pieces that are required for safety. The craft is is in a dev program, but there are still a lot of practices that are common.

White House says its supports Artemis Program to return to the Moon [Updated]

Quote:
Update, 12:30pm EST: Today, at the outset of her briefing with White House reporters, press secretary Jen Psaki offered the following statement on the Artemis Program:

"Through the Artemis Program, the United States will work with industry and international partners to send astronauts to the surface of the Moon—another man and a woman to the Moon, which is very exciting—conduct new and exciting science, prepare for future missions to Mars, and demonstrate America's values. To date, only 12 humans have walked on the Moon— that was half a century ago. The Artemis Program, a waypoint to Mars, provides the opportunity to add numbers to that. Lunar exploration has broad and bicameral support in Congress, most recently detailed in the FY2021 omnibus spending bill, and certainly we support this effort and endeavor."

The statement is notable because it clearly comes after Psaki was briefed by science officials within the Biden administration and reflects their support for the general thrust of the Artemis Program. Details are nonexistent, but that's to be expected from a new administration on a topic such as space. And there will certainly be changes in timing and approach. But the bottom line is this: Game on for the Artemis Program.

Regardless of my personal opinions about space priorities, I'm glad to see this. One of the biggest reasons NASA has struggled over the years is constantly getting jerked around from one administration to the next.

What? We are trying to force someone with this level of technology to hire foreign workers? China a little upset they don't have any spies in the program yet?

Seems a bit of an overreaction based on one guy, but what do I know.

Bitching about SpaceX employment practices is sport these days. All while loving their gains.

Especially because he got an interview after he disclosed that he was not a US citizen.

I'm really surprised they are going to launch SN10 so quickly. The FAA saying they wanted to be involved in investigating SN9 made me think there would be a long delay. Honestly I'm surprised the EPA hasn't gotten more involved after the two previous explosive landings. As close as the facility is to the water, if one turtle gets hurt they'd try to shut the whole program down.

We're in New Smyrna Beach this week, and I just saw the Falcon launch. So cool, even if still a ways away.
