A perfect example of history being written by the victors.

Didnā€™t realise Russians had a space station in the 70s. Will check it out.

I also didnā€™t realise for a long time that they landed on Venus. Itā€™s annoying that conflict/propaganda doesnā€™t let us celebrate human achievements.

Similar to how we donā€™t see China lauded in the west much for their massive achievement of bringing people out of poverty.

Theyā€™re working on the new Chinese station and it gets almost 0 coverage. Some space news sites are better than others, itā€™s hard to be country agnostic but itā€™s rewarding just focusing on the rocket/achievement.

One of my favorite rockets is the Russian Proton, the shape of the flame coming off the bottom looks amazing.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the first-ever trial of a ā€œplanetary defence systemā€.

If the orbit of an asteroid can be changed by an object sent into space, humanity may have a chance at protecting itself from the kind of disaster that did it for the dinosaurs.

Aside from a successful SLS launch, this is likely the most exciting launch anytime soon. Not only first Falcon heavy look great as it climbs but you also get the double booster return.

I wanted to use this to burn Virgin Galatic and Bezosā€™s Folly but honestly, itā€™s written so beautifully it seems to cheap to score points with it.

This feels like the sort of thing that should have a longer deadline line than 2 months. Maybe theyā€™ve briefed this before to potential contractors but I canā€™t imagine there are many companies with this capability just sitting on a desktop somewhere.

It wouldnā€™t be a starship launch if I didnā€™t watch future passenger Everyday Astronautā€™s coverage. Tim is a top tier space broadcaster of the highest order and will fly on starship as part of Dear Moon so has a unique perspective
