Yet those in the industry are almost entirely supportive of other groups/programs/companies. The rage machine tribalism is exclusive to those on the outside looking in.

I would certainly bet all my money that there will not be a city on Mars by 2050. Technologically possible? Sure, but who is going to foot the bill?

SOON™

this has not aged well

:(

I’m hearing reports that we have never been more back

Congratulations to the engineers at Blue Origin for the successful debut of the BE-4 engine!

Goin so well but also LMAO at this cute little toaster getting yeeted

The first main engine cutoff, or MECO-1, is confirmed for the Centaur V upper stage. #VulcanRocket has reached a preliminary Earth orbit where it will coast above the globe for 28 minutes before the burn to achieve a trans-lunar injection orbit begins. bit.ly/vulcan_cert1

So, Vulcan is the first methane fueled rocket to reach orbit on its first attempt, and the first to reach orbit from the US.

YOU'RE NEXT 🫵

Ignition! The Centaur V's two RL10C-1-1A engines have ignited again to climb from its initial parking orbit into a trans-lunar injection orbit for the Moon-bound Peregrine lander. bit.ly/vulcan_cert1

Quick look went well. Launched on the open of the window. Perfectly nominal mission. Dead on bullseye orbital insertion. For a minute there I thought I was in an Atlas mission…. #VulcanRocket

MAJOR congratulations to the ULA team who successfully launched the first ever #VulcanRocket this morning! We can't wait to see more of these epic rockets in action. 🚀

This is good news but a failure in the propulsion system would certainly be suboptimal

RIP my boy
