I watched the New Shepard launch this morning. Seemed to go perfectly but I still think space tourism is a bad idea.
Violating the rules of sound for a cheap gag. Not cool. Sound is NOT for astronauts.

On December 21, NASA reported Ingenuity’s 69th flight was also its farthest, according to its flight log—over 135 seconds, the four-pound, 19-inch-tall helicopter traveled roughly 2,315 feet at a speed of nearly 22.5 mph, beating its previous distance of about 2,310 feet achieved in April 2022.
NASA continues to under-promise and over-deliver on Mars.

The first SpaceX booster to carry humans to space fell over on the drone ship after its 19th flight and landing.

At least it isn’t going to die right away.

The stuff we saw before was material in the capsule but outside the sample cannister. It took them months to figure out how to open the sucker. Two giant unstuck screws for mankind.

Elon may be a jackass but it’s still cool to see SpaceX is just churning these behemoths out like it’s nothing. 99 engines between these 3 completed boosters.

That’s way creepier than a solar eclipse on Earth.
