#falcon9

I've just observed some rapidly expanding, white spiral moving across the night sky of northern Germany.
Turns out it was not aliens, but probably actually the result of a top secret US government operation: web.archive.org/web/2025032420

The upper stage of the #falcon9 apparently launches its excess fuel into #space, where it reflects the sunlight, creating shiny spirals: web.archive.org/web/2025032421

It seems very strange that #SpaceX, which already has a very reliable system with the #Falcon9, is apparently making and repeating so many mistakes with #Starship and is so far behind stuff that was made 50 years ago. This can't just be #Musk rushing things and trying to save money. Maybe his companies are finally no longer able to hire and retain the necessary talent?

Just two hours before it was finally supposed to go the #Falcon9 launch of #SPHEREx and #PUNCH has been called off *again* to "allow teams to continue rocket checkouts ahead of liftoff" - the terse message blogs.nasa.gov/spherex/2025/03 doesn't give a new launch date but unnervingly the preset webcast youtube.com/watch?v=qkTcmQJdGK is now supposed to begin ... on May 1st! Probably just some glitch, right?

Drei Milliarden Euro hätte die #Ariane6 ursprünglich kosten sollen. Nun, mit dem neuesten Nachschlag und weiteren Entwicklungskosten, liegen die Ausgaben bei knapp vier Milliarden 💰 Euro. Für den Preis hätte die #ESA bei #SpaceX auch 80 Starts mit nagelneuen #Falcon9-Raketen ordern können. Mengenrabatt nicht berücksichtigt. spektrum.de/news/ariane-6-neue
