Hours After SpaceX Postponed a Liftoff, Elon Musk Boosted a Transphobic Tweet

Auch wenn ich das meiste schon wusste, sehe ich nach Niclas Kolorz' Video #SpaceX und #Musks größenwahnsinnigen Visionen in einem anderen Licht: Seine #Mars-Vision ist wohl mehr als ein PR-Gag (wie ich bisher dachte, PR Stunts kann Musk ja), und ist durchaus menschenverachtend. So sehr es mich freut, dass dank der #Falcon9 die Raumfahrt erheblich billiger wurde - ich fände SpaceX ohne seinen Gründer erheblich sympathischer. #Tech-#Faschismus

@peterlhansen @J12t Whatever #Musk does, he needs to stay the hell away from #SafetyCritical systems or commenting on them.
Even when Musk was largely talking about #Tesla back-in-the-day, it was in large part to exaggerate the capabilities of #Autopilot which has negatively impacted roadway and public safety.
And we can see the recent public and environmental safety issues of Musk's decision to re-insert himself into #SpaceX.
SpaceX has updated their schedule, including removing some backup opportunities.

CRS-28 Mission - YouTube
SpaceX is targeting Sunday, June 4 for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s 28th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-28) mission to the International Space Station.
After an approximate 42-hour flight, Dragon will autonomously dock with the orbiting laboratory on Tuesday, June 6.

Messing with #Texas
How it started: Elon Musk’s #SpaceX Is Buying Up a #Texas Village. Homeowners Cry Foul
“In echoes of the Old West” https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-spacex-rocket-boca-chica-texas-starbase-11620353687 #BocaChica
How it’s going: #Texas welcomed Elon Musk. Now his rural neighbors aren’t so sure
“I just have no faith that the leadership there values the #environment and these shared resources”
“There’s no #zoning, there are no rules. It’s the Wild West” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/05/28/elon-musk-texas-spacex-boring-bastrop/ #BoringCompany #SpaceX #austin #bastrop
Here’s a video debunking Musk’s lies about #SpaceX. Musk’s scariest remark came when mentioning he copied a failed Soviet rocket design and said the Soviets really knew how to motivate researchers by threatening them with the Gulag. 👀
But again, this was a FAILED design that continues to fail with SpaceX because it’s too complex. Why copy failure?
And he’s wrong: Happy workers do better than scared workers in the long run; especially if you lose your smartest people.
"Just a day after #ElonMusk and David Sacks hosted #RonDeSantis on #Twitter for an exclusive and disastrous presidential announcement, the #Florida governor signed a bill shielding Musk’s #SpaceX from liability if workers are killed after his rockets blow up."
A day after #DeSantis launched his US presidential campaign on #ElonMusk 's #Twitter, he signed a law in #Florida that "gives tremendous leeway to private spaceflight companies, specifically shielding them from lawsuits relating to 'injury to or death of a participant or crew resulting from spaceflight activities' "
#Musk's #SpaceX already reaping the benefits of their CEO pushing #GOP left and right.
https://truthout.org/articles/ron-desantis-signs-bill-shielding-elon-musks-spacex-from-lawsuits/
@arstechnica ⬆️
The ‘launch’ of the presidential campaign of #RonDeSantis on #Twitter is reminiscent of the launch 🚀 of the #Starship by #SpaceX. 😂
Maybe put the campaign on #Hyperloop ?
Tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos tell us the world is dying, but if we support their plans for space colonization they’ll save humanity.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to Mary-Jane Rubenstein about how space colonization is an extension of previous forms of colonization, and is built on the same religious ideas even if its promoters don’t use religious language.
I'm sure it's a total coincidence that
1) DeSantis' announcement is happening on Elon Musk's social network and
2) This Florida bill that gives Musk's SpaceX immunity for the injury or deaths of space crew has been passed by Florida's House and Senate and is ready to be signed by Gov. DeSantis
In an era of, what should be, increasing scrutiny of outsized, asymmetric and unnecessary transportation-related emissions… this #FAA “privacy program” (and this seemingly white-glove support service from the FAA to set it up) for the private jet owners and operators should not exist.
If that even needs to be said, frankly.

@Dinkenfunkle @NASA While no one in the industry wants #SpaceX to have a monopoly, for now, they kinda do. So when Starship is successful, dumping SLS for Starship makes sense economically, and for national security, but there are tons of congresspeople who would be furious their constituents are no longer getting the money. That makes it hard change direction.

Haven-1: US-Startup will 2025 erste private Raumstation starten
Mit Vast hat eine weitere Firma ambitionierte Pläne für Weltraumtourismus vorgestellt. 2025 soll eine Raumstation starten, später eine riesige aufgebaut werden.
#WashingtonPost 📆 May 10, 2023 #Vast, a #California-based start-up, is partnering with #ElonMusk’s #SpaceX to lift a #SpaceStation to #LEO in 📆 2025. The company plans to send up additional modules. One of its main goals is an ever bigger station that would rotate ☸️, providing artificial #gravity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/05/10/space-station-replacement-plans-vast
Vast wants to put artificial gravity space stations in orbit, using SpaceX.
#NSF 📆 May 9, 2023 Though Ship 25, equipped with tiles and fins, has been extensively tested, and would appear to be closer to flight readiness than Ships 28 or 29, it was constructed last year. As a result, #SpaceX might want to use a newer #Starship with design improvements and learnings from last month’s launch.
Ship 26, not equipped with tiles or fins, has been seen with the #Raptor stand underneath it at the “rocket garden” storage area. Some preparations appear to have been made to the vehicle, and it is still a possibility it could be chosen to fly next. Ship 27, similarly equipped to Ship 26, is also in the storage area, and still could be prepared for a future flight. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/05/starbase-repairs-ships-future-flights
This is an interesting article on the aftermath of the first Starship test - the physics of how Starship threw sand so far are not really understood. The idea that SpaceX should have planned for something like that happening is a bit harder to buy when the physical models say it should not happen.
SpaceX has to fix the issue, but the steel plate concept has gotten positive reviews from NASA scientists who study rocket plumes.

FAA is being sued over rubber-stamping the hugely damaging SpaceX launches.
"Due to the engine failures at startup, the rocket experienced a powerslide and drifted several body diameters away from the center of the launchpad…" Ah! I did think I saw lateral movement just after launch, but that's the first confirmation I've seen. There's a lot ot unpack in this article, and it really rams home how far from ready the #SpaceX #Starship is at this point. https://lavieohana.medium.com/starship-ii-a-reprise-df3585d9e39d
Start und Explosion des Starship: Klage gegen US-Flugaufsicht FAA eingereicht
Beim Start der Riesenrakete Starship wurde ein Naturschutzgebiet in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Nun gibt es eine Klage gegen die FAA, die den Start erlaubt hat.
NEW: The #FAA is being sued over allegations that the agency violated the National Environment Policy Act when it allowed #SpaceX to launch the largest rocket ever built without a comprehensive environmental review.

Start des Starship: Brand im Naturschutzgebiet und weit geschleuderte Trümmer
Eine Woche nach dem ersten Start des Starships und der anschließenden Explosion gibt es eine erste offizielle Einschätzung zu den Folgen für die Natur vor Ort.

The #EU 🇪🇺 is having to seek assistance 🙏 to launch new versions of its navigation #satellites 🛰️ because the #Ariane 5 rocket, developed by #France 🇫🇷-based #ArianeGroup and launched from French #Guiana, is to be retired in the next months.
The deployment of its replacement, #Ariane 6, has been delayed. Only #SpaceX's #Falcon 9 🚀 and #ULA's #Vulcan system❓ are up to the job of sending the EU's #Galileo #satellites 🛰️ into #orbit. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-elon-musk-replace-stalled-france-rocket-galileo-satellite
Nach Start und Explosion des Starship: Mehr zerstört und verschmutzt als gedacht
Eigentlich hatte Elon Musk erklärt, wenn der Startplatz nicht kaputtgeht, wäre alles ein Erfolg. Genau das ist aber offenbar passiert, legen Berichte nahe.

#BBC 📆 3 March 2023 #ESA said the measures needed to address the failure meant that #Vega-C would not fly again until later this year.
The #Ariane-5, #Europe's biggest rocket 🚀, has only two more flights this year before it is withdrawn. And the Ariane-6 follow-on is not yet ready to fly 🥱.
The shortage of rides recently prompted the #ESA 🇪🇺 to purchase two American launches.
Its #Euclid telescope 🔭 and #Hera #asteroid ☄️missions will go up on #SpaceX #Falcon-9 vehicles in 📆 2023 and 📆 2024 respectively https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-64838254

I occasionally watch Bill Maher (ironically more on Youtube than HBO), & I discovered this interview of Elon Musk by Bill Maher which I found to be oddly fascinating.
https://youtu.be/DOvAkAIBVNY
Although I abhor his personality, Elon Musk has contributed towards the betterment of humanity due to the various companies he owns (whether through starting them like SpaceX or taking over like he did with Tesla).
Tesla helped popularize electric vehicles, while SpaceX is popularizing reusable rockets (the latter is helping reduce the cost of space flight too).
Bill Maher surprisingly did not push back against Elon Musk’s false claims about Twitter promoting free speech on the microblogging site, as Musk has repeatedly censored links to rival services like Mastodon & Substack, as well as banned users for promoting rival services too.
Overall, it was a decent interview, & whether you like or loathe Elon Musk (or Bill Maher), watching this episode was very informative.

Horrible, horrible damage to the environment from the #SpaceX #Starship launch in #BocaChica #TX: https://blog.esghound.com/p/photos-from-the-spacex-debris-field
This week, The New Yorker published a special digital issue on bottlenecks in the climate crisis. I hope you will read my contribution, about how our anemic ability to monitor methane emissions led the Environmental Defense Fund to build a spaceship and do it themselves.

SpaceX und Lynk wollen Mobilfunkabdeckung drastisch verbessern
Mobilfunk erreicht nur etwa zehn Prozent der Weltoberfläche. Netzbetreiber hoffen auf Hilfe aus dem Orbit.
Amazing supercut of the ill-fated maiden flight of the #SuperHeavy / #Starship combo a week ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCYSVmSPM7E - especially the uncut sequence from 7:30 to 12:15 has the rocket climbing and then everything going wrong in glorious, err, I mean gory, detail. Far better than what was seen in the #SpaceX webcast.
This SpaceX landing was the best I've seen from the rocket's viewpoint. https://youtu.be/-5EX1u0fA78?t=1007
#rocket #SpaceX
There are two #SpaceX launches scheduled for today. We're about a half hour from their first launch of the day, a #Falcon9 carrying more #Starlink satellites scheduled for 13:40 UTC. Then we have a #FalconHeavy lifting from Pad 39A tonight at 23:29 UTC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5EX1u0fA78
Start und Explosion des Starship: Kilometerweit geflogene Trümmer und ein Feuer
Eine Woche nach dem ersten Start des Starships und der anschließenden Explosion gibt es eine erste offizielle Einschätzung zu den Folgen für die Natur vor Ort.
Starship (and SpaceX) Goes BOOM!!!

Un resumen del estado actual de las cosas en el tema #Starship: sin una solución para los destrozos en la plataforma de lanzamiento, #SpaceX se enfrenta a no recibir más permisos de vuelo de la FAA, y a no poder usar la rampa 39A en Cabo Cañaveral. Un desastre para SpaceX… y para #NASA, que debería ir desempolvando un plan B para el módulo lunar de Artemisa.
