(via How SpaceX Can Re-Launch the Super Heavy Rocket Within an Hour of Its Return: A Technological Marvel Redefining Space Travel)

SpaceX has always pushed the boundaries of innovation and exploration. With the Super Heavy rocket, the company has taken yet another leap towards revolutionizing space travel. One of the most remarkable capabilities of SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket is its ability to re-launch within an hour of its return. This incredible feat is set to redefine space missions and their efficiency.

Spacex raptor engine evolution

[saturnniidae]

Httyd modern au but dragons used to exist and scientists know that, there's whole branches of paleontology dedicated to dragons and people are working on bringing them back by excavating islands like Berk and oh my god it's Jurassic Park

In an au like this Hiccup would be like Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the 7th or something idk how generations work. Anyways up and coming paleontologist comes to visit the isle of New Berk where they're creating a 'sanctuary' for the resurrected dragons you can probably guess where this is going

First event duel! Grabbed an old Synchro Dino deck I had and slapped on some link monsters for the Synchro x Link event. I forgor the big synchro setup combos but still pulled through.

[thatcharmingjerk]

Today I have made great progress and reorganized my Vaporeons but also made spot for the lego Rex skull (that was on sale) and reorganized dino books! Yahhoo!

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to source for the latest in space and astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna. Today we've got some fascinating stories lined up that you won't want to miss. We'll be diving into SpaceX's recent breakthroughs, including the reveal and first firing of their latest Raptor 3 engine. We'll also cover major milestones from NASA, such as the significant progress made with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Lastly, we'll discuss an exciting citizen science project from the European Space Agency that invites you to help classify thousands of newly imaged galaxies. So grab your telescopes and let's embark on this cosmic journey together. - **SpaceX's Raptor 3 Engine Reveal**: SpaceX had a bustling week revealing and firing the new Raptor 3 engine. This advanced engine significantly improves performance, packing a punch with 280 metric tons of thrust while being lighter than its predecessors. What makes Raptor 3 stand out is its internal design, where much of the external plumbing has been either moved inside or eliminated, allowing for higher pressure and efficiency. This marks a noteworthy evolution from the Raptor 2, which has been the workhorse of SpaceX's Starship program so far. - **SpaceX's Starship Preparations**: Meanwhile, SpaceX isn't just resting on its laurels. The company is deeply engaged in preparations for Flight 6 and is eagerly awaiting regulatory approval for Flight 5. These efforts include readiness checks and vital tests. Excitingly, this also involves operational tests with the Mechazilla chopsticks, a key mechanism designed to catch the Starship boosters as they return from space. The upcoming Flight 5 mission is on standby with both the ship and the booster cleared and ready pending final clearance. This highlights SpaceX's relentless push to refine its technologies and expand its capabilities, keeping the momentum going for future space endeavors. - **Starship Project Advancements**: SpaceX is also rapidly advancing in its Starship project. With Ship 33 nearing full assembly, only two sections remain to complete the first Block 2 ship: the bottom liquid oxygen tank section and the aft engine section. This new configuration will allow SpaceX to add around 300 extra tons of propellant, enhancing the ship's capabilities. In the meantime, major upgrades are underway for Booster 14.1. It's back at Orbital Launch Pad A for more testing, particularly focusing on the innovative Mechazilla chopsticks catch mechanism. These tests are crucial to ensuring the system can handle the instant loads required for successful booster recovery. - **NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope**: NASA has achieved a significant milestone with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Recently, the deployable aperture cover, an essential component of the telescope, successfully passed rigorous environmental tests designed to simulate the challenging conditions it will face during launch and in space. This large sunshade is designed to keep unwanted light out of the telescope, ensuring the clarity and accuracy of its observations.  - **ESA's Galaxy Classification Project**: The European Space Agency and Galaxy Zoo are calling for public participation to classify thousands of galaxies imaged by the Euclid Space Telescope. This citizen science project is perfect for astronomy enthusiasts who love to explore the cosmos and contribute to scientific research.  - **Groundbreaking Sounding Rocket Mission**: A groundbreaking sounding rocket mission is set to study the sun as a star. This first-of-its-kind mission aims to observe the sun's behavior in an unprecedented way, potentially unlocking new insights into solar science. By utilizing a sounding rocket, scientists can gather unique data on solar activity that regular satellites and space telescopes might miss.  For more Astronomy Daily, including our continually updating newsfeed, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

I recently saw this article https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/f-22-stealth-fighter-flew-under-iranian-f-4-phantom-undetected-190472

I don't know how good the source is, but it got me thinking. If the F-22 is as good/impressive as said in the article, how come it's production has been halted in favor of the F-35 and how come the F-22 was developed only/primarily as an air superiority fighter, instead of a multirole fighter? And how does the F-35 compare to the F-22 in the role of air superiority?

The F-35 is nowhere close to the F-22 when it comes to the role of an air superiority fighter, especially when it comes to speed and altitude. The F-35 is primarily an air-to-ground aircraft that can defend itself, the F-22 is an aircraft purpose-built for air superiority. The F-22 was coming in as the new solution to swatting Soviet aircraft out of the sky and maintaining air superiority, which has been a NATO strategic priority in their warfighting doctrine. The Soviet Union then collapsed and for a long time, the US really didn't have a great power competitor that required a big expensive stealth fighter. Cost overruns and maintenance concerns became more and more of a controversy, and worries about technology theft made exporting the F-22 a dicey proposition.

And just to make matters worse, even legacy airframes were capable of tracking targets out to hundreds of kilometers. Dogfighting and aerial warfare were becoming an outdated doctrine, and so the government decided to pivot away from dogfighting and toward making an aircraft completely stealthy for as long as possible and engaging from great distance. This hurt the F-22 quite significantly, as updating stealth and avionics to meet these requirements was not seen as financially feasible. So instead, they've gone to developing a new long-distance fighter aircraft.

So as you can see, it's a long journey through changing geostrategic conditions and the changing nature of technological conditions of air superiority as a concept.

Thanks for the question, Dark.

SpaceX Tests Most Powerful Ever Rocket System Ahead of Civilian Moon Trip

Elon Musk’s ultimate ambition is to colonise Mars, and Starship is the centrepiece of this endeavour. Moreover, it is intended to be used to take an all-civilian crew, led by billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, to the moon and back. Additionally, Starship is set to be used to launch satellites. Yesterday Elon Musk’s company SpaceX tested its most powerful ever rocket system, the Super Heavy booster, in…
