Indeed, it was *because* I was not from the aerospace industry that SpaceX made such radical breakthroughs. Same for Tesla. Those in the industry would have if they could have.
I had mixed feelings about the first two flights of Orion. But not this one. https://t.co/9YROBrhJ7M
Artemis 2 weather forecast is 80% go for Wednesday. If launch slips: 70% go Thursday, 75% Friday, 70% Saturday.
The new Big Think print issue just dropped: on the Roots of Resilience. Here's how we can avoid a space megaconstellation mega-disaster. The current situation, where companies do nothing, is a recipe for destroying our one & only near-Earth environment. https://t.co/FycTO9j4QD
