I think about this article pretty often:
It's about most of the rockets mentioned in the OP and how they didn't launch in 2020. It also links to a similar article from 2018 (that mentions OmegA and the Big Falcon Rocket...). It's weird how little the launch industry has changed since then for everyone other than SpaceX.
It's the Exploration Augmentation Module that more or less turned into Gateway HALO.
I'm really hoping the R3 will be under $40k (it won't).
Well of course they do, it all but guarantees that they'll win. And 2nd place goes to Axiom?
That would leave behind Starlab and Orbital Reef. In my dreams, there's a world where ESA funds Starlab and Blue Origin / Bezos lives up to their stated mission and self funds Reef.
Millennium is over 20 years old, so I really feel like they shouldn't have bus problems like this. But they are a Boeing subsidiary...
I have an Inreach that is nowhere close to real time messaging, but I just got used to its limitations. I'm kind of looking forward to when satellite direct-to-cell connections are reliable enough that I can drop the Inreach.
I like the size and shape. Not so much the animations and exterior speakers.
Well that kind of statement usually isn't a good sign
Don't worry, the terminally online meme historians are here to help
This is SpaceX launching a competitor again? Starshield and SDA PWSA aren't 1:1, but Starshield has been floated as a replacement for Tranche 3+.
Hopefully they make it at least to a 2nd stage failure on this one
