Humans Survive off Earth?

They should work together to learn how humans can survive off Earth! ULA will help, maybe ULA can be the moderator. The reusable Starship should focus on getting stuff to orbit. The first refueling station will be a Tanker Starship that sits in LEO until it runs low and returns to Earth to be refilled. So the Starship, gets stuff to orbit where a nuclear tug is used to get the stuff to lunar…

Blue Origin’s New Shepard Rocket Returns To Space Tourism After Hiatus

(Source – NewsBytes)

Blue Origin’s tourism rocket, New Shepard, has successfully launched passengers to the edge of space for the first time in nearly two years. This marks the end of a hiatus that began after a failed uncrewed test flight. The New Shepard rocket and capsule lifted off at 9:36 a.m. CT (10:36 a.m. ET) from Blue Origin’s facilities on a private ranch in West Texas.

The mission, designated NS-25, is Blue Origin’s seventh crewed flight and carried six passengers: venture capitalist Mason Angel; Sylvain Chiron, founder of the French craft brewery Brasserie Mont-Blanc; software engineer and entrepreneur Kenneth L. Hess; retired accountant Carol Schaller; aviator Gopi Thotakura; and Ed Dwight, a retired US Air Force captain selected by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to be the nation’s first Black astronaut candidate.

Ed Dwight’s Historic Journey

Ed Dwight’s inclusion in this mission is particularly significant. Although Dwight completed training at the Aerospace Research Pilot School and received an Air Force recommendation, he did not ultimately join the NASA Astronaut Corps. Instead, he pursued a career as an entrepreneur and sculptor. His story is featured in a new National Geographic documentary on Black astronauts, “The Space Race.”

In the documentary, Dwight reflects on his unexpected journey to the edge of space: “I had no intention of being an astronaut. That was the last thing on my bucket list,” he said. “But once I was given the challenge, then everything changed.”

At 90 years old, Dwight became the oldest person to reach the edge of space, a milestone highlighted by a Blue Origin spokesperson. After the capsule touched down at 9:46 a.m. CT (10:46 a.m. ET), Dwight shared his feelings on the experience during Blue Origin’s livestream: “I thought I didn’t need it in my life. But I lied. I really, really did need it. It’s a life-changing experience. Everybody needs to do this.”

The Mission’s Success and Technical Details

The rocket booster landed safely a few minutes before the capsule, ensuring a smooth end to the mission. During their journey, the crew experienced speeds exceeding 2,000 miles per hour, or more than three times the speed of sound. The rocket-propelled the capsule past the Kármán line, an internationally recognized boundary of outer space situated 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth’s surface.

At the peak of the flight, passengers enjoyed a few minutes of weightlessness and breathtaking views of Earth through the capsule’s windows. This successful mission followed the triumph of an uncrewed science mission in December, marking the first flight of the New Shepard program since the previous mishap.

Blue Origin’s return to space tourism underscores the resilience and enduring appeal of commercial space travel. As the industry continues to grow, such missions offer a glimpse into the future of accessible space exploration for civilians.

Blue Origin, Ağustos 2022'den bu yana ilk kez insanlı yörünge altı uçuş gerçekleştirdi

Havacılık şirketi Blue Origin, yaklaşık iki yıllık bir aradan sonra başarılı bir insanlı yörünge altı ticari uçuş gerçekleştirdi. Mevcut NS-25 misyonunun bir parçası olarak, altı kişilik mürettebata sahip New Shepard yeniden kullanılabilir roketi, yerel saatle 10:37'de  şirketin Batı Teksas'taki tesisinden havalandı. Uçuş sırasında, kapsül Dünya yüzeyinin 105 km yukarısına yükseldi, bu sayede mürettebat üyeleri kendilerini uzayın en ucunda birkaç dakika boyunca yerçekimsiz ortamda buldular. Fırlatmadan yaklaşık on dakika sonra, mürettebatla birlikte kapsül, paraşüt sistemi kullanılarak fırlatma rampasından çok da uzak olmayan bir yere indi. Kapsül üç paraşütten ikisiyle indi, ancak görünüşe göre böyle bir iniş kabul edilebilir ve acil bir durum değil. NS-25 misyonunun bir parçası olarak mürettebat üyelerinden biri, 60 yıldan fazla bir süre önce havacılık tarihine adını kazımış olan, aynı zamanda eski bir ABD Hava Kuvvetleri kaptanı olan 90 yaşındaki heykeltıraş ve yazar Ed Dwight'tı. 1961'de Ed, Başkan John Kennedy tarafından Ulusal Havacılık ve Uzay İdaresi (NASA) Astronot Kolordusu'na katılma yolunda bir adım olan Havacılık ve Uzay Pilot Okulu'na (ARPS) katılmak üzere seçildi. 1963'te Ed eğitimini tamamladı ve Hava Kuvvetleri onu Astronot Birliği'ne önerdi, ancak sonuçta seçilemedi. Uçuşta Dwight'a risk sermayedarı Mason Angel, Fransız bira fabrikası zincirinin kurucusu Sylvain Chiron, girişimci Kenneth Hess, emekli muhasebeci Carol Schaller ve pilot Gopi Thotakura da katıldı. NS-25, Blue Origin'in yedinci mürettebatlı ticari göreviydi. Şirket, mürettebat koltuğunun maliyetini açıklamadı. Endüstrideki rakip Virgin Galactic şu anda VSS Unity ile uzayın sınırına uçmak için kişi başına 450.000 dolar ücret alıyor. Read the full article

Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Relocates to Miami After 30 Years in Seattle

Jeff Bezos, the visionary entrepreneur who founded Amazon in his Seattle garage in 1994 and played a significant role in transforming the city into a tech hub, announced on Thursday that he is bidding farewell to his home of three decades and moving to Miami.

The reason behind the decision

The 59-year-old Bezos shared his decision on Instagram, citing a desire to be closer to his parents, who recently returned to Miami, where he had attended high school. He also mentioned wanting to be nearer to his partner, Lauren Sánchez. Another key reason for the move is the shifting operations of his rocket company, Blue Origin, to Cape Canaveral, Florida, which is just over 200 miles north of Miami along the state’s Atlantic coast.

Last month, Bloomberg News reported that Bezos had purchased a mansion in South Florida for a staggering $79 million, shortly after buying an adjacent property for $68 million. Bezos is currently the world’s third-richest person with a net worth of $161 billion, according to Bloomberg.

In his Instagram post, Bezos acknowledged the emotional significance of leaving Seattle, where he had lived longer than anywhere else and created “amazing memories.” He wrote, “As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart.”

Here’s why Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos is leaving Seattle for Miami

Seattle Office Tour

To mark the occasion, Bezos posted a short video on Instagram, giving a tour of Amazon’s first office, which was situated in his modest Seattle garage. The video depicts a young Bezos in good spirits, wearing jeans and casually discussing the challenges of the early days of Amazon. He points to a large orange extension cord, which was used because the office lacked sufficient power, and highlights the simplicity of their setup. At the end of the video, he mentions, “It doesn’t take long to tour the offices of Amazon dot-com Inc.”

The reaction of the residents of both Seattle and Miami to Bezos’ relocation remains uncertain. Over the years, Amazon has become a global giant in e-commerce, reshaping the city of Seattle and significantly contributing to its economy. In 2021, Amazon became the world’s largest retail seller outside of China. Jeff Bezos’ move to Miami marks a significant shift for the tech titan and may have further implications for Amazon and his other ventures in the future.

Blue Origin vs SpaceX: The Race to the Moon

Two years ago, NASA awarded SpaceX a contract to ferry astronauts to the surface of the Moon under its Artemis program. Now, the space agency has chosen Blue Origin, a rival space company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, to build a second lunar lander for future missions. What does this mean for the future of lunar exploration and the competition between the two companies?

The Artemis Program The Artemis program is NASA’s ambitious plan to return humans to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo era. The program consists of several missions, each with increasing complexity and objectives. The first mission, Artemis, will launch an uncrewed Orion capsule around the Moon in 2024. The second mission, Artemis, will send a crewed Orion capsule on a similar flight in 2025. The third mission, Artemis, will land two astronauts on the lunar south pole in 2026, using SpaceX’s Starship system as the lander.

The goal of the Artemis program is not only to revisit the Moon, but also to establish a sustainable presence there, with regular crew rotations and scientific experiments. NASA also plans to use the Moon as a stepping stone for future exploration of Mars and beyond.

The Lunar Landers To achieve its vision of lunar exploration, NASA needs reliable and capable vehicles to transport astronauts to and from the lunar surface. That’s why the agency solicited proposals from commercial partners to develop human landing systems (HLS) for the Artemis program.

In 2021, NASA selected SpaceX as the sole winner of the HLS contract, awarding it $2.9 billion to develop a variant of its Starship rocket for the Artemis 3mission. SpaceX’s Starship is a reusable spacecraft that can carry up to 100 tons of cargo and crew to low Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond. SpaceX has been testing and refining Starship prototypes at its facility in Boca Chica, Texas, with mixed results.

However, NASA’s decision to choose only one provider for the HLS contract sparked controversy and criticism from other competitors and lawmakers. Blue Origin and another team led by Dynetics filed protests with the Government Accountability Office (GAO), arguing that NASA had unfairly favored SpaceX and violated procurement rules. The GAO denied their protests in July 2021, allowing NASA and SpaceX to resume work on the Starship lander.

In November 2021, NASA awarded SpaceX an additional $1.1 billion to develop an upgraded version of its lander, one capable of longer stays to support “sustained” exploration.

On Friday, May 19, 2023, NASA announced that it had chosen Blue Origin as the second provider for the HLS contract, awarding it $3.4 billion to build a lunar lander named Blue Moon. Blue Origin will lead a “national team” that includes Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Draper, Astrobotic Technology and Honeybee Robotics. Blue Origin will also contribute “well north” of the contract value to fully develop its lander.

Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lander is a three-stage vehicle that can carry four astronauts to and from the lunar surface3. The first stage is a transfer element that will dock with NASA’s Orion capsule and Gateway station in lunar orbit. The second stage is a descent element that will lower the lander to a landing site near the lunar south pole3. The third stage is an ascent element that will lift off from the surface and rendezvous with Orion for return to Earth.

Blue Origin’s lander will be used for the Artemis 5 mission in 20292, following two crew landings by SpaceX’s Starship system in 2027 and 20281. Before that, Blue Origin will conduct an unpiloted demonstration landing in 20282.

The Competition The selection of Blue Origin as the second HLS provider marks a major milestone for the company and its founder Jeff Bezos. Bezos has been pursuing his dream of space exploration since he was a child, and founded Blue Origin in 2000 with the vision of enabling millions of people to live and work in space4. Blue Origin has developed several suborbital and orbital rockets over the years, such as New Shepard and New Glenn4, but has yet to launch any humans or payloads into orbit.

Bezos has also been engaged in a fierce rivalry with Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX. Musk founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of colonizing Mars and making humanity a multiplanetary species. SpaceX has achieved remarkable success in launching and landing reusable rockets, such as Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, as well as delivering cargo and crew to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA contracts.

Both Bezos and Musk have expressed their interest in exploring and developing the Moon as a gateway to deeper space destinations. However, they have also clashed over their visions and strategies for achieving their goals. Bezos has criticized Musk’s focus on Mars as premature and unrealistic, while Musk has mocked Bezos’ plans for lunar colonies as “outposts for retirees”.

The competition between Blue Origin and SpaceX is not only driven by personal animosity or ego, but also by business interests and national pride. Both companies stand to gain lucrative contracts and prestige from NASA and other customers by demonstrating their capabilities and reliability in lunar missions. Both companies also aim to inspire public support and enthusiasm for their visions of space exploration and settlement.

The Future The awarding of two HLS contracts to Blue Origin and SpaceX is a win-win situation for NASA, the companies and the American people. It means that NASA will have more options and redundancy for sending astronauts to the Moon in case one system fails or encounters delays. It also means that NASA will be able to leverage the innovation and expertise of both companies to achieve its goals faster and cheaper.

For Blue Origin and SpaceX, it means that they will have more opportunities and resources to develop their lunar landers and showcase their technologies. It also means that they will have more incentives and motivation to compete with each other and improve their performance.

For the American people, it means that they will witness more historic achievements and milestones in space exploration in the coming years. It also means that they will benefit from the scientific discoveries and economic opportunities that will result from expanding humanity’s presence on the Moon.
