Welcome back my friends to an intriguing week. We have so many great things to finally dive deeper into around Starbase and Starship updates as they prepare for flight 4. Many have been asking about the 40-50 tonnes to orbit for the current Starship design which came as a surprise to all of us (including me) from Elon's presentation last week. What are the SpaceX Starship Expectations vs. Reality? Is There a Problem? Raptor is the key, and it is complicated. Do we also have a dry mass problem? Are they running engines at lower thrust for safety? Lots to speculate about today. We have Falcon 9 action as always. Also, Boeing Starliner is ready to fly, and we are finally getting ready for action, with Gilmour Space and their Eris rocket preparing to take its first flight from Queensland Australia!

Love seeing that Aussie flag on a rocket for space. So good thank you MH

Saving Chandra seems to the smart pick. Crazy that they've defunded the whole X-ray band that can't be done from Earth.
-
Let's hope the Boeing Starliner won't have some side panel pop off mid-flight like with other Boeing products...
