Starship coming in with the STEEL CHAIR!!!
A reminder that if/when they successfully land Blue Moon Mk1- it will immediately take the record as the largest craft to ever land on the moon. Beating out the Apollo lunar module, and Mk1 is just the prototype for what’s to come. It is an absolute unit.

We’re roughly 6 months from the soonest possible launch date of Artemis 2- And this stubby punk is still the only part (to my knowledge) not in Florida. It remains one of 2 parts left to be stacked to SLS to finish the vehicle.
A reminder that now that it’s been 14 years since Atlantis landed at the end of STS-135- There is a small portion in the space Twitter community born after the shuttle program But for those alive, as my newest video shows- it still hits us in the feels- youtu.be/3BCWatqbxFk?si…

Next week- I’m gonna drop some negative SLS posts. Why? Because I can & to give context on why I praise it the rest of the time.

A sight that might cause cognitive dissonance (mental distress/discomfort) in some space fans, here we can see the Soviet Buran space shuttle taking off under its own power on a test flight, powered by ТРД АЛ-31 jet engines. (Source: USSR/Unknown, Buran Test Flight, 1986, 🔈 )
@astroferg does awesome work and did an great job capturing these images.
Thoughts on this, it won't matter in the long run, no matter if SLS is or isn't canceled. Still, you'd expect better from such a legacy company with actual decades of data informing this design.
