Gap Filler so good imma ask SpaceX to do my bathroom

This is a remarkably detailed post on SpaceX's efforts to safely streamline access to space by making spaceports run like clockwork, just like airports, especially so as Starship comes online in Florida. Well worth a read. Key takeaways: - Airport-like operations: rockets

New EHT images show M87*’s magnetic fields changing: turning one way in 2017, settling in 2018, then reversing by 2021. The flip may result from internal magnetic structure and external effects like a Faraday screen. Credit: EHT Collaboration | Animation: Amy C. Oliver (CfA)

What a view. From our new free flying camera — deployed on yesterday’s New Shepard mission. (The “bubble” is the seam between two 180 degree lenses.)

410 days left until the next Earth→Mars transfer window opens.

If a startup can make their own supersonic jet engine, I’m really not sure we should say that anything is out of the question. Be bold!

Post a Picture you took. Just a pic. No description.

Here's something I've never seen before! Joe.B was standing right next to me capturing this launch transiting the sun. We took shots within a few milliseconds of each other, allowing for parallax to create a stereoscopic image! Instructions to make it appear 3d below
