between this and most of the worlds heavy/medium lvs being retired and replaced, I wonder what they can launch on other than falcon 9?

The steel in your sink is expected to carry far less load than the starship. For sinks you may be able to get away with using as cast steel, but I would expect that they do at least some work hardening, not to mention they are probably using a special grade of steel

The president of france has requested that ESA assemble a "high-level advisory group" composed primarily of "non space experts" to "look at various aspects of society" and "come up with more specific European targets and ambitions for manned space travel". In other words, he wants to establish a committee to develop future manned spaceflight related committees. https://spacenews.com/esa-to-set-up-committee-to-study-human-space-exploration-options/

In the interview I posted, they say that it increases the opportunities for deorbiting quickly

From the NASA spaceflight interview entire crew will be exposed to vaccum for EVA may use neutral bouancy facility, still in early stages of training science payloads still being decided one includes an implant into scott to measure cranial pressure before during and after flight not doing an expendable launch

Kepler is heliocentric and deactivated, so that probably won't happen, and Hubble needs the robotic arm to keep the vehicles together

Surprisingly, the equilibrium temperature assuming earthlike regolith is only 87c, hot enough to cook with, but a decent cooling system should keep you nice and raw, though a thick atmosphere could make things worse

A small(~.25) warm planet has been found in orbit around proxima centuri https://www.sciencealert.com/a-new-planet-a-quarter-of-earth-s-mass-has-been-found-orbiting-the-nearest-star-to-the-sun

that second stage is tumbling...

The offending cruise ship from the other day has been identified as Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, definitely should have been capable of reading a NOTMAR, coasties are investigating. https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-rocket-launch-royal-caribbean-cruise-ship-coast-guard-investigation-2022-2

And hold for the ship

Cruise ship in the range no go zone...

Elon's hat is pretty safe then

Decent chance the second stage from the DISCOVR launch back in 2015 will hit the moon in the coming months https://www.projectpluto.com/temp/dscovr.htm

Liftoff and stage sep, commentators appear to have some sort of audio issues

Artemis 4 will not include a moon landing, to busy setting up the gateway or something. Wonder what uses they will come up with for lunar starship in the meantime https://spacenews.com/nasa-foresees-gap-in-lunar-landings-after-artemis-3/

There is also the risk of messing things up or damaging other things while doing the repair, while they already had a solution to the issue

And confirmed deployments on all 7 payloads

Orbit launch today in ~20 min https://spaceflightnow.com/2022/01/13/virgin-orbit-above-the-clouds-mission-status-center/

October's launch failure traced back to improperly secured helium tanks in the 3rd stage lox tanks https://spacenews.com/design-flaw-blamed-for-failed-debut-of-south-koreas-new-satellite-launcher/

Tldr the warp drive paper was from the same guy as the EM drive, and all he definitely proved was that the potential curves between his apparatus and the warp drive are a similar shape. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/no-warp-bubble/

Yes, the two types of spacecraft, radar observation and space based weapons.

Is that a fact, I somehow doubt that setting off a bunch of nukes is less likely to go wrong than a saltwater reactor that shoots its fuel out the back end? Considering how little data we have regarding the operation of these types of vehicles I'm not not sure anyone can say for certain which is more reliable

Scott Manley pointed out the dragon on the bottom of the northrop one appears to have the end door still closed, which means it cant be docked, and is just floating below the station

I seriously doubt that there is any material that is capable of contracting at hypersonic speeds while remaining intact. Furthermore, steps must be taken to stop the "bowstring" from shooting out with the projectile and then getting pulled back into the "bow", because hypersonic collisions are not something you want to have happen to your launch infrastructure.
