Space - the final frontier (Misc.) II

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

The fastest spinning celestial object in the universe is a Neutron star called PSR J1748-2446. It rotates 716 times every second, so its equator moves at about 25% the speed of light. It is also 50 trillion times the density of lead and has a magnetic field a trillion times stronger than the Sun’s.

I’m still baffled at how astronomers can come up with this kind of information by simply looking at something.

A Super Heavy rocket booster launched a Starship upper stage for SpaceX’s fifth flight test of a fully integrated Starship, from Starbase, Texas, on 13 October 2024, at 12:25 UTC (07:25 CDT). According to SpaceX, “the primary objectives will be attempting the first ever return to launch site and catch of the Super Heavy booster and another Starship reentry and landing burn, aiming for an on-target splashdown of Starship in the Indian Ocean”.

Why NASA even needs to bother with Boeing at this point, SpaceX is running circles around them. If their goal is to really get back to the moon and ten to Mars, seems like the only one with the panache competence to get there is SpaceX.

fixed.
The official explanation is that NASA wants to have two options available in case of issues with one or the other...which would make sense if Boeing could ever get its head out of...the sand.

I'm going to be honest here, when I fly, which isn't often, I prefer to fly any manufacturer other than Boeing.
