It was inevitable that they’d have some issues after the crazy success streak, it’s just frustrating and feels bad that there have been 3 groundings in quick succession. Hopefully they root cause and fix this new issue just as fast as the last two.

I just want canyons covered with a fish tank growing algae and shielding cool Adobe cities
Hey, it’s more like a big Vulcan with little legs.
For sure. My car’s touchscreen started being intermittent last month, but luckily it doesn’t control things like climate, volume, turn signals, getting into gear…
Why did they need to reinvent and overcomplicate a door handle in the first place?
Yeah, Axiom is working on a private space station that would bud off the ISS when it deorbits. Although they have some money problems right now.
For asteroid mining, look up AstroForge. They’re working on mining platinum group metals from near Earth m-type asteroids. They launched a forge demo sat and soon will launch an asteroid RPO demo sat.
We’re in a new space race.
There are too many rocket companies to list. This commercialization drives down launch costs and increases capacity, which benefits private companies and public research institutions.
There was just a record number of people in orbit (19) that’ll get broken again in the coming years. The ISS will get new modules. Tiangong has been expanding. The Lunar Gateway station is under construction. Several private space stations are under construction. And multiple companies and countries are working on new crewed vehicles.
Starlink has customers in 99 countries as of March. It’s a global service.
Directed at European launch companies:
You couldn’t live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.
And not even close to the same size class. The “good news” is that Hyundai sells a totally different vehicle in the US?
Casper: 141.54" l, 62.80" w, 62.01" h
Ioniq 5: 182.48" l, 74.41" w, 63.19" h
Yup, and they have to be specifically tailored, and, even then, keeping them tight-fitting at joints is a challenge. There are some concepts with pressurized traditional gloves to work around some of that.
I like AntennaPod for podcasts.
Hopefully some day we get mechanical counterpressure suits.
But but but the VCs and PE firms have a thesis or something!
I hope all these ghouls lose their shirts.
Testing in production is normally scary enough. This is just an insane concept.
I’m sure they still have a lot of work to do to make mobility easier and make them self contained instead of tethered, but it’s a great first step. It’s cool to see the investment and development alongside the Axiom xEMU derivative.
This milestone is more about developing the technology in the suits and ship. The spacewalk itself really just involved testing out the range of motion of the suit, but the full test involved a lot more changes and tests in the Dragon.
And the shape is better for driver visibility and pedestrian safety
an electric Renegade priced under $25,000
That’s much more interesting than the $70k+ suburban grocery hauler.
Yeah, it feels like they’re hitting engineering and/or process corner cases. We also might just be emotionally drawing connections between totally unrelated things when there isn’t any actual thread to pull on here.
