One neat thing I see for SpaceX adjacent is that Tesla will make 1000s of Optimus this year, then 10-50K next year and upwards of 500K the year after. And they plan to integrate Grok with it for head intelligence.
This combined with Starship could inevitably lead to Mars robot labor platform.

What? Isn't this just the Italian military choosing the cheapest and available option rather than waiting 5+ years for IRIS2 to become operational, it's not even commercial Starlink but Starshield that's being offered.
Either way, there's a good chance it's just a negotiating tactic, like when Germany said they'd be looking at leaving FCAS for GCAP.

thats a little too conservative (ive kept and used a consumer level DSLR in sustained temps from +40c to -26c without issue) but of course i understand the point. This is obviously a combined video/still camera, using more sensitive electronics, powered by temp sensitive batteries designed for extended EVA....but the difference will definitely give rise to a lot of those guys making a big deal out of this.

>The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) is a United Nations committee whose main task is to review and foster international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space, as well as to consider legal issues arising from the exploration of outer space.
Pretty much anyone who has anything resembling a serious interest in space is on it. They oversee the Outer Space Treaty, Moon Treaty, and deal with things like conventions on the identification and registration of in-space objects.

The propulsion team that they acquired (and then gutted) was focused on building orbital ion thrusters for satellites. Technically they still have those for sale
https://astra.com/space-products/as
What they had for Rocket 3 were in-house electrical pump-fed engines similar to the ones that Rocket Lab uses on Electron, as well as a highly unreliability pressure-fed system for the upper stage. Replacing the S2 engine makes sense given all the trouble they had with it, but replacing the S1 engines has always been a very confusing choice

That kind of upscaling will be necessary for a Mars colony.
But some things are so critical that you need to confine them to a single site because the risk of security breach or leaks increases with every new site, or split the project into multiple compartmentalized focuses where no one team has any idea what the final product would be and only get the information they need to know in order to fulfil their part of the order.

unless you're going to be entirely reliant on rations and long term storage of foodstuffs shipped in from Earth you're going to need a dedicated botanical nursery or aquaponics section to provide fresh greens and maybe fruits
even medicines or other drugs could be produced that way, in fact that might be one of the most in demand products from the Martian colony back on Earth because of the way it's lower gravity has a positive effect on the crystallization process and the size and bioavailability of said crystals

yeah, but the colony should be growing plants anyway if just for the psychological benefits for the people living there long term
to say nothing of the research benefits and experimenting with soil cleanup applications that will be necessary in order to recycle Martian dirt into something that isn't toxic and provide material to use in fermentation processes, even as a source of oxygen
that whole soil cycle thing, plants do it very well
one problem with that is the microorganisms necessary for soil health are also associated with less useful pathogens; if not properly contained they could pose a health hazard especially because Martian colonists are going to be at increased risk of disease regardless due to the immuno-compromising effects of their environment

the cultivation of algae could be important on Mars, since it's fermentation is a highly efficient way to produce biofuels
spirulina is also fantastic nutritionally, and has already been tested in simulated Martian conditions
in fact, the abundant CO2 in Martian atmosphere is perfect for cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) to convert into liquid hydrocarbons suitable for rocket propulsion after processing
>โPhotosynthetic cyanobacteria convert Martian CO2 into sugars that are upgraded by engineered Escherichia coli into 2,3-BDO.โ We would need about four football fields of bioreactors powered by sunlight to grow the cyanobacteria and E. coli. The 2,3-BDO can then be purified from the bioreactors with the E. coli. The process will produce about 44 tons of excess oxygen, which can be stored for use by the astronauts or later use on Mars

Nitrogen and oxygen need a beefier, more massive life support system
Pure oxygen means mass saved, as you need less air pressure to keep humans alive
Eliminated prebreathing going from earths surface to LEO to lunar EVA and back again
The USSR actually had a similar incident involving an oxygen-rich atmosphere that unexpectedly ignited and killed a space worker during training. I believe they tried warning the USA right before the Apollo 1 ignition, in fact.

It's a lot closer to fifty years. People started proposing aerostats not that long after the first successful Mars landers, but they've always been stuck in a weird place in-between actual landers and orbiters where they manage to collect the drawbacks of both. The only places where they've ever had an advantage is places like Venus where landing on the surface is unusually difficult. Any objectives you could give to a Titan balloon mission could be more effectually accomplished by an orbiter, lander, or a pair of both.

The โฌ7.68B ($7.86B) budget for 2025 comes in โฌ110M ($112.6M) shy of last yearโs spending limit. But ESAโs director general Josef Aschbacher sounded confident the reduced budget wouldnโt get in the way of the agencyโs bold plans for 2025. โThe share of [European investment] is relatively modest in the global scale, but again I think the output we deliver for this money is quite impressive and quite significant,โ Aschbacher said at the annual press briefing.

A sounding rocket plus an actual rocket set to launch sometime in 2026 with a bunch of paper rockets and crew capsule that will likely never be selected for contracts.

Sounding rockets again, last launch of their biggest rocket failed, their orbital rocket is targeting 2025-26 out of SaxaVord depending on how repairs there go
All of them are going into the already crowed smallsat market at a time when BO is finally set to start operations. My comment wasn't meant to be taken as they've ignored domestic launchers, more that ESA leadership's willingness to bend over for Ariannegroup has destroyed any capability or ambition for a domestic F9 equivalent and they're willingly ignorant of this fact.
None of these are going to be competitive when BO and SpaceX are flying regularly with fully reusable rideshares.

When they do catch Starship, are they going to catch it with the same tower, so that it can immediately be stacked on to Super Heavy? This is after the first few test catches I mean.

I feel like Anduril's most aligned to be able to do that over rocketlab. Plus, it's a risky game to go from making rockets to hypersonics because your bread and butter up to that point has been purely commercial/peaceful directives. Hypersonics are specific for war/defense. Which is very lucrative, but has the potential to cause a schism within your organization if key players aren't aligned for it.

Maybe. New Glenn can only get about half the mass to GTO that Falcon Heavy can, but Falcon can't get PPE+HALO to TLI on its own either. It'll put it onto a high-energy eccentric trajectory and let the station's engines do the rest of the work over about 9-10 months. Launching on New Glenn would mean that would take even longer, but using a Blue Ring as a third stage tug could mitigate that. Even with Falcon launching the core Blue Ring is an interesting option for delivering the rest of the modules that're going to get co-manifested on SLS.

so like, do they have several long stretches of time where nobody is around the rocket, do they evacuate for photos, or are photoshoping the technicians out of these pics? I don't think I've seen a single promo photo of new glenn with a human in the frame.
