A new study from scientists has claimed SpaceX’s explosion of its Starship rocket last year blew a first-of-its-kind hole in Earth’s atmosphere.
Warp drive space ships don’t exist now, but two researchers looked into what might happen if one crossed into a black hole.
SpaceX, with its rapidly expanding squadron of Starship rockets and super-capsules, looks poised to dominate the creation of humanity’s first base camp on the Moon.
As it ramps up producing Starship upper stages that can double as Moon-orbiting space stations or as spectacular lunar resorts, SpaceX is positioned to speed past NASA’s plans for Spartan astronaut habitats on the orb’s South Pole.
NASA’s “lunar surface habitat concepts are currently in early conceptual stages or pre-formulation,” Corinne Beckinger, a NASA representative based at the Marshall Space Flight Center, told me in an interview.
Along with the first private-sector spacewalk, the SpaceX Polaris Dawn crew also will set a new Earth-orbit altitude record.
NASA will call on SpaceX to bring home two astronauts who have been stuck on the International Space Station since early June after their Boeing spacecraft ran into several problems midflight, the agency said.
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origins is tripping over its own feet as it races to meet an October deadline. One rocket portion exploded during testing.
