  • SpaceXs Starship_SuperHeavy_ Preparing for a Second Flight overview and Starbase Stories

    11/11/2023 Duración: 19min

    Earlier in 2023, SpaceX experienced a significant setback with the failure of its Starship/SuperHeavy launch vehicle during its inaugural flight. This highly anticipated test, conducted from Starbase in Texas, ended in the loss of the rocket due to multiple engine failures, causing a catastrophic spin. This event marked a pivotal moment in SpaceX's ambitious space exploration program, highlighting both the potential and challenges of such cutting-edge technology. As SpaceX gears up for the second test flight involving Booster 9 and Ship 25, optimism is cautiously high. Both components have undergone extensive testing, including two static fires for Booster 9, marking a first for the SuperHeavy series. Ship 25 has also had a flawless testing campaign, raising hopes for a successful flight. However, given the complexity of the mission, the launch timing remains fluid, with SpaceX committed to ensuring maximum data collection and safety.

  • Starship Almost Ready for Next test flight

    10/11/2023 Duración: 09min

    The Federal Aviation Administration's safety review of SpaceX's Starship marked a significant milestone for the aerospace company. After the explosive test flight in April, the FAA grounded Starship to conduct a thorough investigation. This review was not just a procedural step but a deep dive into the technical and operational nuances of SpaceX's ambitious project. The FAA evaluated the Super Heavy booster's performance, specifically focusing on the unexpected "rock tornado" and the subsequent damage to the surrounding environment. SpaceX's commitment to safety was put to the test as the review scrutinized the mishap's causes and examined the company's safety culture, system safety processes, and quantitative risk analysis for launch and reentry operations.

  • NASA Analysis Finds Strong El Niño Could Bring Extra Floods This Winter

    09/11/2023 Duración: 06min

    Such high-tide flooding that inundates roads and buildings along the west coast of the Americas tends to be uncommon outside of El Niño years, but that could change by the 2030s. An analysis by NASA’s sea level change science team finds that if a strong El Niño develops this winter, cities along the western coasts of the Americas could see an increase in the frequency of high-tide flooding that can swamp roads and spill into low-lying buildings. El Niño is a periodic climate phenomenon characterized by higher-than-normal sea levels and warmer-than-average ocean temperatures along the equatorial Pacific. These conditions can spread poleward along the western coasts of the Americas. El Niño, which is still developing this year, can bring more rain than usual to the U.S. Southwest and drought to countries in the western Pacific like Indonesia. These impacts typically occur in January through March.

  • Spacex starlink breaks even and the idea of going IPO

    07/11/2023 Duración: 09min

    Sales for Starlink are on a trajectory to overtake the launch business soon, which means more and more regions will have access to SpaceX’s internet services. Think about it: a service that started off with test satellites is now on the verge of being the main moneymaker for one of the most talked-about companies in the world. And while SpaceX keeps a tight lid on their financials, we've gotten a peek behind the curtain. A valuation of $150 billion was pinned on the company after a recent tender offer. Those numbers aren't just stratospheric; they're astronomical. This valuation reflects not only the commercial success of their launches but also the potential of their satellite-driven internet business.

  • SpaceX and Blue Origin Moon Mission Update

    31/10/2023 Duración: 07min

    Dr. Lisa Watson-Morgan is a linchpin when it comes to the mission of landing humans back on the Moon. She's working on some hefty challenges, but as she puts it, "Right now, today, I don't see anything that's stopping us." Watson-Morgan appreciates the innovations SpaceX has contributed, particularly with its advancements in rocket capabilities. SpaceX’s partnership with Blue Origin and Lockheed Martin, experienced from their Orion program, also bodes well for the Artemis missions. But the excitement doesn't come without a dose of realism. As the senior director of Human Spaceflight Programs at SpaceX, Benji Reed, put it during a fireside chat, "launch is signal and everything else is noise." The emphasis is on doing rather than theorizing, on testing rather than speculating. It's this hands-on approach that is shaping the HLS program's future.

  • SpaceX’s Starship could launch Nov. 6, Coast Guard notice shows

    28/10/2023 Duración: 08min

    In today's episode, we're unpacking the recent updates on SpaceX's Starship, which has been in the spotlight for both its technological advancements and regulatory delays. SpaceX has performed all necessary pre-flight operations, but the massive rocket still awaits crucial permits from federal agencies. While many look to the skies with eagerness, Starship is grounded, as the completion of the launch licensing process remains a pending affair. SpaceX had its second test flight planned for Starship and even completed a full wet dress rehearsal. However, the company faces multiple regulatory hoops before the rocket can break Earth's gravitational pull. One of the last major hurdles involves a review by the Federal Wildlife Service (FWS) in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This review is a detailed examination of Starship's potential environmental impacts, particularly focusing on the newly installed water deluge system at the Boca Chica launch site in Texas.

  • When Worlds Collide: A New Discovery

    27/10/2023 Duración: 06min

    The initial observations of this awe-inspiring event came from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) project. This network of telescopes alerted Matthew Kenworthy, an astronomer at the Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands, about the near-total dimming of a sun-like star, designated ASASSN-21qj. Now, such dimming could be caused by various phenomena, but what piqued Kenworthy's interest was that this star had also shown a sudden increase in brightness about two and a half years earlier. A connection seemed likely, prompting him to investigate further.
