Nice picture's still.
If USA made Orion ship,they would be on Mars arleady.Pity,that it never happened.
Man, I forget how small Phobos is sometimes.
Milestone in the months long calibration of the $10 billion dollar James Webb Deep Space Telescope.

I stopped playing Kerbal Space Program back when it was still being beta-tested years ago.
Most of the rockets I fielded back then while playing the game were "yeah, this ain't going to work" because I actually am an engineer who has seen some shit.
The Kerbal Language? That's Mexican Spanish spoken backwards and sped up.
ALIENS CONFIRMED.
Or not, just the origin of a mysterious signal that was originally detected back in 1977. Of interest is reportedly the system has a Sun similar to our own. One of the many things required for a habitable planet that could contain life similar to our own.

Nearly 50 years ago, astronomers detected what is considered the best evidence of an alien radio signal from space. Now one astronomer says he may have found the star system where it came from.
Many if not most people have probably heard something about the "Wow! Signal," which remains the presumed best evidence of a radio transmission from extraterrestrial intelligent beings:

Well sure, if that's what they want to call it.
They really should just try to find a way to send a little gas compresor, shovel head, and storage bottle that can move dust and pebbles off the solar panels on all future rovers.
We need rovers/ probes that can withstand a bad martian winter and not die because they cannot even brush the dust of the solar panels.
Scientists beamed radar lasers down into the middle of the Amazon Rainforest and discovered breathtaking ancient ruins nobody knew existed
It's tempting to think that humans have a bird's-eye view of pretty much all of human history—we have a solid idea, that is, of who was doing what, when, and where for the last few thousand years.

First conquistadors who come to Amazonia reported not only cities,but also tall white womans who ruled over local indians.

Super Heavy is grinding toward completion. Some of the delay has been due to a rocket motor redesign. Production rates and testing capacity are also nowhere near 'industrial' quantities needed with 33 motors required on the back of every booster, times however many dozens are wanted in the fleet.

SpaceX has also been having morale fallout lately. It really should be respected as a massive and impressive engineering enterprise in its own right, but Elon Musk still owns 78% of the firm and has particularly thin skin this year, it seems: SpaceX fires at least 5 employees over internal letter criticizing CEO Elon Musk
More than that, the buried lead is that the entire Musk empire runs on borrowed cash and the occasional equity investment. SpaceX by itself has some profitable business lines, but it also has heavy R&D expenses and there is most certainly going to be a struggle to keep the lights on as interest rates continue to rise.
SpaceX moves a massive rocket with 33 engines to its launch pad for tests
No rocket with this many engines has ever successfully launched.
