Potential hot take: I’d rather see a booster semi-destroyed in a museum than completely intact.
Something about knowing it was flown right up until the end speaks to me.
Here is Space Pioneer's Tianlong-3 series of reusable launch vehicles.
Tianlong-3 is capable of delivering 17,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit or 14,000 kilograms to a 500-kilometer sun-synchronus orbit.
Tianlong-3H is capable of sending up to 68,000 kilograms to low Earth
Space Pioneer is hoping to launch its Tianlong-3 rocket this June, potentially from Wenchang's Commercial Launch Pad 2.

The Long March 2C Y50 first-stage booster, for the SVOM mission, fell in Guiding County (贵定县) in the province of Guizhou (贵州) within the designated hazard areas. However, the local government failed to evacuate the surrounding areas properly before launch, the booster hit
And we have video!
The test stage appears to break free shortly after ignition, implying the ramp up to 820 tons of thrust was incredibly fast if intentional.
Space Pioneer has released a formal apology to local residents near its Gongyi test site.
In English:
Dear Gongyi residents, all counterparts and the general public:
We would like to apologize most sincerely to the public who support and pay attention to our company for the
Watch the three center engines on Starship’s upper stage gimbaling just after separation. Right before they ignite for hot-staging, the engines angle themselves outward to direct their exhaust towards the vented interstage before re-centering for ascent.
EXCLUSIVE: China to acquire SpaceX in deal with Boeing!

' newest Hermitcraft video, a rough 900 chest estimate was said and I wanted to see how close to that number Wels has. So let's do some math!
So the first wall in the storage room is 32 chests long and 4 tall, giving us 128 double chests
More reasonable architecture assuming NASA wants to use the hardware they listed for Mars.
Expendable Starships are due to the sheer size of the 'Exploration Upper Stage'.
NASA's Crewed Mars Mission Architecture (Current Plan)
This infographic describes NASA's mission plan in detail from first launch to final touchdown back on Earth. (You may need to zoom in to read everything)
NASA plans to update this mission profile in "a few weeks".
Some good news today from Hu Hao (胡浩), Chief Designer of the Chang’e 6 mission, regarding Chang’e 7/8 and the crewed mission:
“From the technical route we have no problem going to the moon and coming back, technically it is through. We have built this bridge because it is the
I would say 'in before people call it a clone' but that's already happened, but here's how the Merlin/MVac (left) and TQ-15A (right) are different and similar.
First, similarities. Both engines use an open-cycle gas-generator cycle to run the pumps, the unburnt fuel is dumped
China has come up many times already in the hearing. Members and Nelson all agree critical that U.S. be the leader in space and not let China get ahead. Applies not just to earth orbit, but Moon, Mars and beyond.
relativity space will be the greatest space company ever.
bookmark it, screen shot it, laugh, it will happen. relativity is the thanos of the space industry, they are inevitable.
The large fairing on the Long March 5 has returned as it prepares for its seventh flight. Not much is known about the launch at this time. China Manned Space Agency is believed to not be involved with this launch.
Due to this not being the 5B variant, this will likely be a
A lot of people do not know the hell of developing stuff for Minecraft.
It’s in two completely different coding based and languages and needs to function near identically. The code base for Java alone is a goddamn mess that can’t be completely rebuilt at this point without
🚨 New Mob Alert: the bogged! 🚨
A variation of the skeleton, the bogged is equipped with deadly poison arrows and can be found in the trial chambers & swamp biomes.
Test it out on the latest Snapshot (coming soon to Bedrock beta & preview):
Depends on what dry mass you like for the tank+engine section. And how much full expend starship to LEO you choose. SpaceX website says 250t
Choosing a VERY conservative 70t dry mass that puts the TLI at 62t 😳
I'm rounding down to 240t to LEO which gives 55t
For the first time in over 50 years, an American spacecraft landed on the Moon – made possible by American ingenuity, innovation, and curiosity.
Congratulations to the teams at NASA and Intuitive Machines on this thrilling step forward.
We're leading the world back to the Moon.

“The Super Heavy will deliver the Starship onto a sub-orbit flight path where they shall separate. The Super Heavy will return back to the pad for re-flight and the Starship will continue until it achieves orbit of the Earth.”
