The NewSpace Daily

In this Episode, we will discuss, why the SpaceX Starship construction site in Cocoa Florida has been shut down. We will take a look at the latest progress in Boca Chica Texas and last but not least we will take a look at a recent NASA announcement about private crew flights.

Welcome to Episode 52 of What about it!?

In this Episode, we will take a look at yesterdays anomaly, surrounding Starships pressure tests. We will look at what led up to the event and what the conclusions are that we can take away from it. We will also have a look at NASA's recent announcements for the commercial lunar payload services. Who are the new Partners and what will happen next.

SpaceX has just been selected into NASA's commercial lunar program for sending humans back to the Moon by 2024! So has NASA finally recognized that they can't progress their Artemis program further without SpaceX's help? For us this is the perfect occasion for a thorough SLS vs Starship comparison!

NASA head Jim Bridenstine called out Boeing to make their next starliner tests public because they are using tax payer money.

NASA showed off its new space suit prototypes aimed at supporting astronauts headed back to the Moon in the coming decade. There were lots of comments about the aesthetics, but the truth is, all the suit features make engineering sense and this is probably the best suit NASA has ever designed. After all they've had 50 years to improve on things.

SpaceX Crew Dragon Presentation Breakdown | SpaceX in the News episode 56. Today we check on the updates to both Starship prototypes and their respective launch pads. We breakdown interesting portions of the SpaceX and NASA Commercial Crew media conference; learn why a Falcon 9 will head to polar orbit from Cape Canaveral; and finish with today's Honorable Mention.

Elon Musk and NASA head Jim Bridenstine Talk about SpaceX Crew Dragon

What is the radiation risk to SpaceX/NASA astronauts? Today we are talking about how SpaceX, NASA and other space agencies plan to keep their astronauts safe from dangerous levels of radiation while travelling to the moon or even further to Mars. Now there are two main sources of radiation I’ll cover here, those being from the van Allen radiation belts around the Earth and the other more sparse but still dangerous solar radiation, solar flares from our sun as well as cosmic rays. No matter if we are talking SpaceX’s Starship or Apollo, this issue is the same. So how did NASA protect astronauts 50 years ago? What have we learned since the Apollo missions? And how are SpaceX and NASA going to protect astronauts in upcoming missions to the moon which could be coming up in only a few years?

NASA invited engineers and architects from around the world to design future habitats for Mars. Here’s what they came up with. »Subscribe to Seeker!  http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker

Comparing the current plans or Mars exploration. Their timelines, etc. Second warm-up episode to the new SpaceX's Mars plan. 

We only had one launch with the Atlas V this week, but we did have an unusual ISS departure in the form of Cygnus leaving -- But not coming back to Earth.

Welcome to Episode 23 of What about it!? In part 2 of this double feature Episode, we'll explore ways to protect our beloved Starman from the dangers in Space we identified in part 1. We will try to identify options to make the travel time in a NASA Orion crew module, SpaceX Starship or pretty much any interplanetary Spacecraft as safe as possible. We will also have a look at what's already done, to get as much safety into such a trip as possible.

SpaceX's next-generation Mars-colonizing Starship vehicle could make its first extraterrestrial touchdown just three short years.
SpaceX is eligible to propose using its Starship vehicle to carry NASA robotic science payloads to the lunar surface, the U.S. space agency announced Monday 18th November, on missions that could precede future Starship flights with people on-board.

An official government report just confirmed NASA's corrupt practice in awarding commercial contracts. In our SpaceX vs Boeing rant we explain in detail how SpaceX has been achieving far more with less budget provided by NASA. Of course, updates on SpaceX Starlink network and SpaceX Starship development can't be missing in this week's space news.

Kathy Lueders, the Program Manager for NASA's Commercial Crew Program, provides an update at the Oct. 30 NAC meeting on the status of Boeing's Starliner and SpaceX's Crew Dragon. The two spacecraft will carry astronauts to the Space Station.

Bigelow Aerospace's Next Generation Inflatable Space Habitat is shooting for the moon and hoping to be a part of NASA's Moon 2024 plans! #NASA #Bigelow #Moon2024

Sorry for the low quality video and audio, this was a literal last minute interview opportunity. I hope the high quality conversation makes up for the low quality video.

Elon Musk shock: SpaceX founder delivers stunning update on Mars rocket ahead of launch- NASA News #ufo #alien #nasa The event is planned for Saturday September 28, and will show the world the break-neck speed at which SpaceX has been developing humanities hope for conquering the solar system and beyond. The reusable rocket project has taken a huge step forward and according to recent filings with the FAA (The Federal Aviation Administration) a test of Starship will take place at Boca Chica and will consist of an “experimental launch, landing, and recovery of the Starship suborbital test vehicle from Boca Chica TX”. Mr Musk tweeted a tantalising image of Starship being prepared on its Boca Chica, Texas launchpad. Related articles He tweeted: “Adding the rear moving fins to Starship Mk1 in Boca Chica, Texas.”Musk explained how the company is working relentlessly to get the spacecraft as close to a finished product as possible. In the last 48 hours, this burst of effort was marked by the installation of two of Starship Mk1’s actuating fins, or wings. These images reveal a definite departure from the design Musk and SpaceX revealed almost exactly a year ago.

SpaceX Starship Update : Spacex Working With NASA to Find Landing Sites on Mars Elon Musk is serious about colonizing Mars and his aerospace company SpaceX has requested NASA to provide it with potential landing sites on the Red Planet.

SpaceX is perhaps one of the most important companies in the world. When it comes to revolutionizing the space industry, SpaceX is the first thing that comes to my mind. From landing reusable rockets to putting humans on Mars, they are the pioneers of the future of space travel. They've achieved so much that people are even asking the question, "Who will get us to Mars first? NASA vs. SpaceX?" But, what does SpaceX do? And why are they important?

Welcome to Episode 21 of What about it!? In this Episode, we'll talk about NASA vs. SpaceX and who will be first to set foot on the Moon again. A recent NASA announcement of direct collaboration with SpaceX makes this a very interesting thought experiment. We will also take a look at the latest Starship Starhopper updates in BocaChica Texas!

Is a SpaceX Moon Landing within 2 years possible? Elon Musk had an awesome in-depth conversation with space reporter Jeffrey Kluger and if you haven’t absorbed any of this, I found this a really great read. Essentially Elon Musk here suggested ‘Well, this is gonna sound pretty crazy, but I think we could land on the moon in less than two years. Certainly with an uncrewed vehicle I believe we could land on the moon in two years. So then maybe within a year or two of that we could be sending crew. I would say four years at the outside.’
