Members phkrause Posted November 3 Author Members Posted November 3 25 Years in Space Yesterday marked 25 years of a continuous human presence in space—including at least one US citizen. President Ronald Reagan commissioned the project that would become the International Space Station in 1984. (The idea of living in space dates back further, with author Edward Everett Hale imagining a fictional ISS in his 1869 tale, “The Brick Moon.”) Canada, Japan, Europe, and ultimately Russia joined the project. On Nov. 2, 2000, the Expedition 1 crew became the first group to reside on the ISS. Today, the station is the largest space vehicle ever built—as large as a football field, including solar arrays—with a habitable volume larger than a six-bedroom house. More than 280 people from 27 countries have visited the station, typically to conduct scientific experiments in six-month rotations (see breakthroughs). The ISS will be deorbited in early 2031 and driven into the Pacific Ocean. Quote phkrause Read Isaiah 10:1-13
Members phkrause Posted November 6 Author Members Posted November 6 Watch Live: SpaceX up for 1st launch, ULA up next while full supermoon rises While SpaceX has managed the lion’s share of launches this year, it’s set to be a team effort with United Launch Alliance as the two companies have lined up a pair of launches Wednesday that would tie the annual record for orbital missions from the Space Coast. And all of that will happen as the year’s biggest supermoon rises. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/05/spacex-ula-line-up-double-launch-night-that-would-tie-space-coast-record/?

Now SpaceX has a pair of launches slated for Friday night to cap what would be the busiest two days in Space Coast history. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/14/space-coast-launch-parade-4-missions-from-3-companies-in-2-days/? Blue Origin launch Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Amazon multibillionaire Jeff Bezos, launched a landmark Mars mission on Thursday. The company's New Glenn rocket was carrying a pair of satellites that are now on a long journey to the red planet to study its radiation conditions for future explorers. The two spacecraft are expected to reach Martian orbit in September 2027. Blue Origin also landed the first stage of the rocket back on a seafaring platform for the first time, a key step toward making New Glenn reusable and more cost-effective as it competes with Elon Musk's SpaceX.
