  • [Eric Berger] NASA kills lunar space station to focus on ambitious Moon base

    Jump

  • I actually agree with you that NASA has been unproductive and wasteful for a while now. Not always, but certainly when it came to ambitious and inspiring projects. However, I see this as a course correction that puts NASA back on track. Certainly it's a much better plan than they had before. But maybe I'm just being hopeful, or even naive? Time will tell.

  • I wish them luck, seems like they're going to need it!

    After falling far behind the rest of industry, Blue Origin creates new stock option plan

  • Already been posted yesterday, sorry

  • [Andrew Jones] Landspace tests 220-ton methane engine for future heavy-lift launchers

  • That's pretty cool!

  • NASA contract confirms selection of ULA’s Centaur 5 as new upper stage for the SLS rocket – Spaceflight Now

    Jump

  • As this has been widely speculated already, this is not a surprise. Super great to see this move forward at pace!

  • [Eric Berger] Ding-dong! The Exploration Upper Stage is dead

  • "Sanity prevails" Thank goodness

  • [Eric Berger] NASA has shuffled its Artemis rockets. But what of the lunar landers?

    Jump

  • This was such a refreshing article to read. The NRHO requirement was so stupid. I'm so glad Jared is helping to move the program forward.

  • [Eric Berger] NASA shakes up its Artemis program to speed up lunar return

    Jump

  • Cancellation of the Exploration Upper Stage and Block IB upgrade for SLS rocket

    Artemis II and Artemis III missions will use the SLS rocket with existing upper stage

    Artemis IV, V (and any additional missions, should there be) will use a “standardized” upper stage

    Artemis III will no longer land on the Moon; rather Orion will launch on SLS and dock with Starship and/or Blue Moon landers in low-Earth orbit

    Artemis IV is now the first lunar landing mission

    NASA will seek to fly Artemis missions annually, starting with Artemis III in “mid” 2027, followed by at least one lunar landing in 2028

    NASA is working with SpaceX and Blue Origin to accelerate their development of commercial lunar landers for Artemis IV and beyond

  • [Eric Berger] NASA chief Jared Isaacman classifies Starliner flight as "Type A" mishap, says agency made mistakes

    Jump

  • The openness with which this was presented has been so refreshing.

  • [Jeff Foust] Isaacman planning to meet with head of Roscosmos

    Jump

  • I have a feeling this is more about the launch than the meeting, which is fine. Personally I think that having relations with the Russians is a waste of time.

  • ‘Very lucky day’: NASA, SpaceX ace astronaut launch to the space station on Friday the 13th

  • He basically says, "I'm happy to be here again, smelling the unmistakable scent of the ISS." Must be some cosmonaut inside joke?

  • Vulcan suffers solid rocket booster problem during USSF-87 launch

  • Again lol

    Tough start to the year

  • LC-39A Crew Access Arm removed, ending crew launch from historic site, for now - NASASpaceFlight.com

  • Possibly just for bearing repairs, but we'll see.

  • Honestly can't wait to see what the Chinese do. They move fast and I'm excited to see how they transform the industry.

  • [Eric Berger] NASA will finally allow astronauts to bring their iPhones to space

  • The arcane approval process has consequences. Before this decision, the newest camera slated to fly on the historic Artemis II mission around the Moon was a 2016 Nikon DSLR, alongside GoPro cameras that were a decade old.

    That's crazy! So much talk about being on the bleeding edge and then this. Glad administrator Isaacman is pushing for change.
