What SpaceX just did with Falcon 9 is totally shocking to the entire world!
With the ability to take humans to new frontiers of the universe, SpaceX's Starship is considered one of the hottest spots attracting global attention. This is not surprising as SpaceX has previously achieved a historic milestone with the Falcon 9 rocket, which Elon Musk dubbed as SpaceX's "workhorse." The success of Falcon 9 has captured the world's attention and brought awareness to the breakthroughs in space technology that the company is achieving.
So what did SpaceX do with Falcon 9 to shock the whole world?
FAA faces lawsuit over SpaceX's Starship launch license to the local environment...
It's been two weeks since the historic launch of SpaceX Starship, Elon Musk recently revealed that SpaceX should be ready to relaunch Starship in 6 to 8 weeks.
Yeah, that is the plan but the reality may take longer than that to get the necessary approvals.
In fact, Starship was grounded indefinitely by FAA. On the other hand, FAA is facing a lawsuit over SpaceX’s damage to the local environment.
How SpaceX is trying to do to bring Starship back to orbit?
All this and more in this episode of Great SpaceX.
If you're tired of waiting for Starship's first orbital flight only to have it end up blowing up, SpaceX won't make you wait too much longer for Starship's next flight.
Elon Musk even promised that SpaceX can get four flights out this year, or maybe five.
While this timeline may seem overly ambitious, it's difficult to gauge the limits of the SpaceX team.
So, when will SpaceX launch the second Starship orbital flight?
And how will SpaceX's next flight differ from the first?
All this and more in this episode of Great SpaceX.
Elon Musk just revealed NEW Starship's timeline...
Unusual: Unlike previous Falcon Heavy launches, SpaceX did not bring any of its three first-stage boosters back for a vertical landing
While SpaceX is clearly good at delivering satellites to orbit quickly and efficiently, they almost always put on a beautiful show for the locals and thousands of viewers watching online, and the latest launch of Falcon Heavy was no exception.
For one, the reusable rocket had no landing legs installed, and all three boosters were expended during the mission, a deviation from their typical recovery protocol. Besides, the upper stage featured a gray band at the top crucial to the success of the launch.
Especially, the fairing's fiery re-entry is also the 'hottest' yet for SpaceX!
Why is there such a difference? How Elon Musk just pushes harder on Falcon Heavy?
All this and more in this episode of Great SpaceX.
SpaceX is fixing the launch site, New Megabay construction, OLM, Lox tanks, concrete...
Well, what do you know? It's been confirmed that the next Starship launch will only be 6 weeks away, which means less than two months before SpaceX can test their Starship rocket once more. With such a tight deadline, the team is working at a remarkable pace to resolve the necessary issues at Starbase.
And indeed, it's quite difficult to count how many cranes, excavators, and bulldozers are working here. But let’s give a rough estimate.
There are at least six cranes dedicated to fixing the orbital launch mount (OLM).
As you know, the OLM had endured the most amount of damage caused by the massive thrust of the Super Heavy rocket booster engines.
ULA is over? Two years ago, Elon Musk predicted that United Launch Alliance (ULA) would be "dead as a doornail."
Two years ago, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk boldly predicted that United Launch Alliance (ULA) would be "dead as a doornail". Now, it appears his prophecy is coming to fruition.
According to three sources who spoke to Ars Technica, ULA is likely to be sold before the end of the year. Investment firm Morgan Stanley and consulting firm Bain & Company are reportedly managing the transaction, though the details of the potential sale have yet to be disclosed publicly.
If the sale goes through, it would mark a major shift in the global aerospace industry, as ULA is one of the world's most important rocket companies. It remains to be seen what the future holds for ULA, but Elon Musk's prediction may soon become a reality.
This is the end of an era for the global rocket industry! So, what does the future hold for ULA? How did CEO Tory Bruno respond to this news? And who can step in to save the company?
All these questions and more are answered in this episode of Great SpaceX!
James Webb Telescope just thrilled Scientists mind "The Big Bang theory is WRONG"
The field of astronomy is buzzing with excitement due to new images captured by the Webb Telescope.
Yeah, after several delays, the James Webb Space Telescope is an outstanding scientific tool that is helping scientists understand more about the universe than was ever possible before with other observatories. But now, it seems like it is also putting astronomers in an unsettling predicament - they will have to question the very fundamentals of what they know about cosmology.
Indeed, astronomers were left reeling after recent images revealed a mind-boggling discovery:
A colossal galaxy, dwarfing even our Milky Way, and a pint-sized galaxy, deemed too tiny to exist, were found to coexist in the early universe!
This is how James Webb Telescope just proved that "The Big Bang theory is WRONG".
The Real Reason SpaceX Developed The Falcon Heavy Rocket!
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, while not necessarily the most historically significant, largest, or most powerful rocket ever made, is undeniably still the epitome of cool.
From launch to landing, the Falcon Heavy is a sight to behold and a true spectacle of science and engineering in action.
However, in recent years, Musk's vision focused more on Starship, the rocket SpaceX plans to use to transport up to 100 people or deliver 100 tons of cargo to Mars.
Starship's development is part of the reason why SpaceX decided not to pursue a "human rating" for Falcon Heavy.
Eventually, SpaceX's fully-reusable next-gen heavy lift vehicle is going to replace both the Falcon Heavy and Falcon 9. But even as SpaceX's development accelerates on the Starship project, there are multiple applications for Falcon Heavy in the years ahead.
If you've already had a vehicle developed, the question is how many additional features would it take to keep that as a part of their product offering, if you will. That could contribute to their bottom line, even if it's not a part of their long-term strategy.
So, this is everything you need to know about this particular monster. More importantly, the real reason behind its development will definitely astonish you.
So see the great episode of Great SpaceX:
Elon Musk's mastermind in developing SpaceX's Monster rocket "Falcon Heavy"
Russian space agency boss says that there is 'no proof' USA ever landed on the Moon.
On July 20, 1969, millions of people gathered around their televisions to watch two USA astronauts do something no one had ever done before. Wearing bulky space suits and backpacks of oxygen to breathe, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first human beings to walk on the moon.
After the two stepped onto the lunar surface, Armstrong proclaimed these famous words: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
Yeah, the first crewed lunar landing in 1969 was a historic triumph for the USA and humankind.
Ironically, Russia's Roscosmos space agency's former boss Dmitry Rogozin, recently revealed that he believes the US Apollo 11 mission was faked and American astronauts never landed on the Moon. He further questions why, all of a sudden, did the USA stop sending manned missions to the Moon.
Is this a new Rogozin joke?
And why hasn't NASA sent humans back to the moon yet?
Former Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin thinks NASA did not land on the Moon...
