Vast has purposely been building hardware to try to sneak in to this conversation. They have the furthest along hardware of any of these bidders. They're about to launch an avionics test sat. They've been through structural testing. They want to launch a station next year. What is everyone else doing, waiting for another study contract? This is the payoff for Vast's upfront work and investment.
The horse and buggy industry won't like this one bit
Barges, so hot right now. I'm curious when we'll see something other than a barge catch a rocket. Maybe a ship like Blue Origin talked about before pivoting to barges, or converted oil rigs like SpaceX bought and started tearing down before realizing they need a working rocket first.
Go for it, please build more dense TOD near rail stops. Even literally on the RTD park and ride lots.
Idk who is downvoting you for sharing a counterpoint. It's good to look around the country for lessons learned. Especially Portland.
Go Impulse! I like how much they're making in-house. Supply chains be damned. Meanwhile, component integrators will keep whining on the sidelines about delays that they paid good money for.
in-space services such as repositioning, refueling, or debris removal
Hopefully they get to go execute on some RPO missions to prove that all out.
They were always going to lose some market share once viable competitors started rising, but those are huge numbers
Pet Ownership Residential Housing Structures
Insurers won’t be able to deny or cancel your homeowner’s or renter’s policy, or raise your rates, based on what kind of dog you have, thanks to House Bill 25-1207. However, the law does still allow them to refuse, cancel, or revise a policy if a dog has been officially deemed dangerous.
Ok, I actually hate this one.
I'm a renter without pets. So this will raise the rates for the renter's insurance I'm required to have.
Solar might only be viable at some polar regions where you can get full sunlight with no day/night cycle. 2 weeks of night time to survive on batteries would be rough.
If a moon with city lights doesn't awaken the sci-fi nerd in everyone then I don't know what to say.
Let's just agree to keep the dark side dark for telescopes.
The first Dragon 1 was just a free flyer. This is one of those weird effects of NASA letting the suppliers define most of their own test plan. In hindsight, Starliner and Dreamchaser should have planned on a free flyer demo first.
Starship doesn't count! I need someone else to catch up to Falcon first.
No, to be honest, somehow I wasn't thinking about the chopsticks. But also, where are the gliders? Where's Rotorocket? Where's the parachute and helicopter with a hook?
