the FAA has ultimately issued SpaceX an extremely favorable “Mitigated Finding of No Significant Impact” or Mitigated FONSI for its plans to conduct a very limited number of orbital Starship launches per year out of Boca Chica, Texas. With the receipt of that final programmatic environmental ...

O2 move As to Orbital's claim that the O2 will be the "world's most powerful operational tidal turbine," well, that statement probably needs some more qualifiers. Each of the Rance station's 24 turbines peak at 10 MW and average 2.375 MW over the course of a year. Each of the Sihwa...
Falcon 9 is almost always at max capacity. When it has “spare” performance, it flies back to land, which costs much less than using a droneship. Our fundamental constraint is mass to orbit per unit time. Last year, SpaceX launched roughly double payload mass of rest of world. — Elon...
These devices have to be baked into the design of the objectbeforeit launches. They also may require communication, computing, power, deploy mechanisms, and/or consumables like inflation gas to be activated. If malfunctions (or a small piece of debris!) renders any of these inoperable, the ...

s TROPICS mission. The space agency has alreadyreleased a statement saying the mission can still achieve its scientific goals, albeit with reduced coverage, assuming the remaining satellites safely reach orbit. But should one of the next launches fail, both of which are currently scheduled to fly...
Due to debris collisions, power explosions, anti satellite weapon tests, and the rapid growth of space launches worldwide, there has been a sudden increase in space debris, and the possibility of a large number of abandoned objects colliding in near Earth orbit is also increasing. At least unt...
