I think the problem of getting the astronauts home is simple. First you send the star liner back to earth by itself. If the star liner fails on re-entry Boeing is a hero for not risking lives. Second you have space x go up and get the astronauts. Boeing is a hero again because they swallowed there pride and brought the astronauts home safe ..read more

Hey, I'm new here. Maybe (propably) someone already raised this topic but I've been wondering what's the most likely way to travel in space ( according to physic rules and so on). Spacecrafts - seems to be the most reachable for mankind. But.. despite all that technology we can manage there are still a lot of problems to moving matter through space. So maybe using wormholes ( ok ,no one has actually investigated it) should be more efficient way to travel ? I'm curious your opinion, thanks all for response ..read more

Dear members of the space community, My name is Sara and I'm excited to share with you my innovative idea that has the potential to revolutionize the space industry. In my research, I have developed a groundbreaking technology that aims to specifically use the Earth's magnetic field to generate plasma propulsion for spacecraft. The idea is to create and control plasma using high-energy charged particles within a magnetic field to create an efficient and environmentally friendly method of propulsion in space. Through the targeted use of the Earth's magnetic field, spacecraft could reach high ..read more

During his recent talk to his employees, Musk showed future revisions of the Starship/Superheavy vehicle with longer fuel tanks, making them taller than the buildings used to assemble them. I wonder if he realizes this. The buildings will have to be modified or rebuilt, and both are expensive projects ..read more

During the final 30 seconds of the countdown and in the first three minutes after launch, it is important for the viewers to hear what is being said by mission control and the official countdown person — thjis will be especially true when astronauts are onboard. I can still hear Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11 saying "We've got a roll program" right after launch. He was so cool and calm about it. That's the sort of stuff we don't want to miss. Please do not take this as criticism. Just a suggestion for future flights. So excited to see us flying again ..read more
