In this episode, we will be discussing the journey of SpaceX Super Heavy B7, a steel rocket built by SpaceX. The 69-meter-tall, 9-meter-wide rocket  has undergone continuous testing, repairs, upgrades, and more testing over the past nine months. Despite facing severe damages in April and July, requiring weeks of substantial repairs, the Starship booster has not been permanently crippled and testing has been cautious but largely successful. 

On January 8th, 2023, Super Heavy B7 was rolled back to the orbital launch site (OLS). According to statements made by CEO Elon Musk , the last major standalone test between Booster 7 and flight readiness is a full 33-engine static fire. Together, B7's 33 Raptor 2 engines could produce up to 7600 tons (16.7 million lbf) of thrust at sea level, making it the most powerful rocket stage in the history of spaceflight. Tune in as we follow the journey of Super Heavy B7 and Ship 24 and updates on SpaceX's progress.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is reportedly raising $750 million in a new funding round, valuing the company at $137 billion. The funding round is set to be led by Andreessen Horowitz, also known as a16z, which participated in Musk's leveraged buyout of Twitter in late October 2022. SpaceX raised more than $2 billion in 2022, including a $250 million round in July, and was valued at $127 billion in May of the same year.

Follow along as we discuss the preparations for the Artemis 2 mission, including the capabilities of the Orion spacecraft that will carry the astronauts on their journey. The Orion capsule is designed to be a versatile and reliable spacecraft that can support a wide range of missions, including lunar flybys, landings, and missions to Mars. It features state-of-the-art life support and propulsion systems, as well as advanced radiation protection to keep the crew safe during long-duration space flights.  In addition to discussing the Orion spacecraft, we'll also delve into the goals of the Artemis program, which aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface and pave the way for future missions to Mars. The Artemis 2 mission is an important step towards achieving these goals and will provide valuable insights and data for future lunar missions.  #Artemis2 #Nasa #SpaceExploration #OrionSpacecraft

During a filming trip to SpaceX Starbase I encountered a wild "methhead".

A Texas-based startup is developing a ground-breaking technology that may completely alter how we construct on the moon. The Austin-based startup ICON is creating a 3D printer that melts the lunar dirt and builds structures layer by layer using a laser system. Because it would enable us to construct nearly any architecture on the moon and save NASA billions of dollars in the process, this technology could have a significant impact on space exploration.

Aluminized materials and other building supplies had to be launched into space by NASA, which made construction on the moon historically very expensive. Considering that each kilogram of freight delivered to the moon costs more than $1 million, finding a technique to construct utilizing the given resources is important.

SpaceX launched the first batch of a new generation of Starlink satellites into orbit early Wednesday (Dec. 28) and nailed a rocket landing at sea to mark a record 60th flight of the year.

A Falcon 9 rocket topped with 54 upgraded Starlink internet satellites — the first generation 2 (Gen2) versions of the SpaceX fleet — lit up the predawn sky with a smooth launch at 4:34 a.m. EST (0934 GMT) from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Under our new license, we are now able to deploy satellites to new orbits that will add even more capacity to the network, Jesse Anderson, a SpaceX production and engineering manager, said during live launch commentary. Ultimately, this enables us to add more customers and provide faster service, particularly in areas that are currently oversubscribed.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is denying allegations that it is violating Elon Musk's free speech rights by trying to enforce a 2018 securities fraud settlement.  The commission, in an appeals brief filed late Thursday, said Musk, the chief executive of Tesla, waived his First Amendment rights by agreeing to the settlement and amendments. It also rejected Musk's argument to scrap the agreement because he signed it under financial duress and didn't understand it.
