  2. Since the blackout: -China says crewed landing could occur as early as 2027 -China has planned out their space exploration to 2050 -Highlights include Xray and gravitational wave astronomy, studying the effects of climate change, tidal forces, and the sun on Earth, more missions to Mars and outer planets, and a Venus sample return (!)

  4. https://blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2024/09/20/nasa-to-fly-international-cubesats-aboard-artemis-ii-test-flight/ After being removed earlier, cubesats are back for Artemis II! Hopefully they do better than the ones on I
  5. If Starship is the critical path for Artemis, why isn't there any sort of accelerated process?
  6. So the first mission is the first civilian EVA, the second the first crewed polar orbit, do we know what's special about the third?
  7. It so sad finding a song lamenting the lack of crewed exploration since Apollo- and realizing it came out much closer (1990) to the end of Apollo than to today
  8. I deleted the caches everytime I tried something new. I fixed the issue BTW- turns out it needed Kronometer to work
  9. The solar system is still the default one when I load in. The loading screens are replaced with the KSRSS loading screens, but the actual system is still the default! I have tried both the gitlab linked on the OP and KSRSS Reborn with the same result. I am on a fresh install with no extra mods.
  10. Why not just attach a low thrust, high efficiency ion drive like Tiangong station has? It would only take ~40 tons of Xenon to send it to GEO, and less if you go to a lower orbit.

  12. New info from some X gaming stream thing: -Next flight in a month (Elon time of course) -IFT5 will have a new heatshield, with tiles "twice as strong", and an ablative underlayer. -IFT5 will attempt a chopstick catch -Starship to Mars in 3 years (Elon time of course) (He can't keep getting away with this.gif) (Maybe for the Mars Sample Return?)
  13. (Though we only have the titles, it could be something reasonable)
