Low cost of kilograms to orbit is one of the fundamental innovations needed to do lots of things. Populating and manufacturing in earth orbit, Venus, Mars, the asteroid belt..

We live in a comically deep gravity well, which makes moving mass to space so hard that believe it or not many predicted we’d never even get to space. 

In a few minutes we might see the biggest step toward that direction in a while. Maybe!

 Beautiful launch 🫂
Booster blew up just after hot staging succeeded.
Ship blew up for reasons currently unknown at nearly the end of the second stage burn.

 Here is the booster explosion from when it tried to turn around to return to the launch site.

 Do you work for SpaceX? Thanks for the post today. I got to watch the whole launch, otherwise I would have had no idea. 

 Oh awesome! After seeing that the hashtags I used were pretty quiet so I was wondering if I was the only person on Nostr watching.

Nah, I just have a love for rockets and huge projects like this. https://image.nostr.build/bd58b020170a63b6013ddc3add8638b25365a74932a3d093e33ca91137c42ee8.jpg  

 Very cool. I toured their Cape Canaveral facility earlier this year. Got to stand on launch pad 39A. Super cool experience. 

 And our thick atmosphere. When we get Starbase Mars online, it will be even more economical. 100 years of strife
