NASA’s four Artemis astronauts swung behind the moon and are headed home, in a journey that broke space travel distance records and brought people the closest they’ve been to the lunar surface in more than 50 years https://t.co/k5LvqvqKxN https://t.co/rzS8sfG1Gy ...

Astronauts on the Artemis II mission have officially completed their lunar flyby on April 6th and are on their way home. For the mission, the crew journeyed to observe the far side of the Moon, and reached the furthest distance humans have travelled from Earth. Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen took turns taking photos of the Moon’s surface, capturing visual information such as regolith colors, textures, and morphologies. The crew’s distance from the Moon provided mor ...

Welcome!Orbital space centers and mass drivers on the Moon will be incredible.Andrew Milich (@milichab):I’m joining @SpaceX and @xai with @JasonBud.X is the company realizing science fiction - reusable rockets, humanoid robots, data centers in space, and more. Almost 10 years ago, I joined SpaceX as an intern on Dragon 2 crew displays. This was in the era of the first rocket https://t.co/I2HGIYqF8w ...

WHY STARSHIP NEEDS TO BE SO MASSIVE: ELON MUSK EXPLAINS THE SCALE FOR MARSElon has repeatedly emphasized that Starship’s enormous size—nearly 400 ft tall, over 5,000 tons fueled, ~1,200 tons of propellant—is no accident.It’s engineered for the massive tonnage required to build a self-sustaining city on Mars, far beyond what smaller rockets could ever achieve affordably or practically.“It’s designed to make life multiplanetary, otherwise extreme overkill for mere Earth sector activity! Starship fleet mass to ...

24 years ago, @elonmusk had to introduce himself and even spell his last name for @SpaceX and yet now they are the sole leader for space exploration and space travel. We are getting to Mars in our lifetime. What an incredible journey.https://t.co/0gXGlZPgzM ...
