Suni and Butch's ride home arrived at the ISS today, although they won't be heading back until Feb 2025. The Falcon 9 which launched the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule experienced some second stage anomalies, causing it to land outside the target landing area. Further Falcon 9 launches have been...

While this weekend's landing of Boeing's Starline was a "bullseye landing," it seems there were problems during descent. A new thruster failed and the guidance system experienced a temporary blackout. One reason NASA had delayed the return was over concerns that if a certain combination of...

At least they're not on a trip to Uranus...

They're well stocked for food. They're good for water as well as the American side of the station filters the astronauts' urine. The station gets resupplies from either a dedicated cargo run or when another craft delivers crews.

I believe they do. There's always enough seats if they need to suddenly evacuate the station.

Starliner has landed at White Sands, NM.

The deorbit burn has been completed...

Well, Butch and Suni's ride has left without them. The Starliner has undocked from the ISS for a planned landing early this evening.

Check out Earthwreck! by Thomas Scortia (1974). Nuclear and biological war has rendered the Earth uninhabitable with the sole survivors on separate American and Russian space stations. The American station has only one woman and the Russian has several...

NASA made the call today the the Starliner crew will return on a SpaceX flight next February. The Starliner will return empty sometime in the next couple of weeks.

I think they may still be talking about the Starliner's leaks. Last I heard was they were going to send only 2 up on the next Space X flight instead of 4.

Medicare (as in I just received my Medicare card) (where'd I leave my walker...)

They're in a pretty safe situation right now onboard the ISS. There is always extra supplies and supply missions can still occur. They can always come back via either Space X Dragon or Soviet Soyuz. The biggest hang up right now is the Starliner can only be undocked manually. Boeing needs to...

On Tuesday 16 April 2024, the Ingenuity sent a final software update to have the little chopper that could wake up once a day and record a number of parameters about the state of the probe as well as environmental conditions and take a daily picture. While Perseverance has moved too far to...
