ExodusOrbitals1on Risky Business: Interview with Marc Andreessen (2018)

Spot on. We'll try to be the next one.

ExodusOrbitals1on Vector Launch Systems Filed for Chapter 11

Note the part about LM purchasing the "software-defined satellite" technology assets from Vector. That's where the value is!

ExodusOrbitals1on There are many small orbital launch vehicles proposed or under development

We pretty much are!

Both nanosatellite and small launcher companies are booming hard in the last few years.

There is direct link to a summary done by C. Niederstrasser, Northrop Grumman engineer:

ExodusOrbitals1on Heavier Than Air (1930)

Really interesting piece and impreccably written!

A noteworthy statement from Orville: "He feels deeply upon the subject of accidents, saying that there are vastly too many of them and that this country has a bad record. He regards this as a matter of better pilot training; not, he thinks, until the spirit of daredeviltry dies out and pilots shun a hazard with the horror of a veteran locomotive engineer will we witness material improvement"

I also noted there were a few words that I have not seen before in modern English texts: "bumboatmen", "spoke-shave" "self-bailer", for example.

ExodusOrbitals1on Woman Finds Yellow Diamond While Watching YouTube Video on How to Find Diamonds

This is the only diamond-bearing site accessible to the general public, so this is at least a moderately interesting subject.

They are definitely in the need of extra cash from smallsat market.

ExodusOrbitals1on Crowdfunded spacecraft LightSail 2 prepares to go sailing on sunlight

Crowdfunded spacecraft are definitely a cool addition to our space exploration program.

ExodusOrbitals1on A new business in small satellites orbiting the Earth

I might post it again in the context of OPS_SAT workshop results.

It is contact[at]exodusorbitals.com, unless you already found it!

ExodusOrbitals1on A new business in small satellites orbiting the Earth

Do you have a public email address? I used a form on your personal website to send you a message.

Let me know if that worked. Dennis

ExodusOrbitals1on A new business in small satellites orbiting the Earth

Will do!

ExodusOrbitals1on A new business in small satellites orbiting the Earth

Thanks! We got a warm reception for our concept from online communities , but it is an uphill battle to have your voice heard on the Internet.

Shamelessly pitching our own project here:

A crowd-flyable satellite! Only second of its kind.

ExodusOrbitals1on Four Mars missions are launching next year

Little new technology, but a substantial financial cost. One would need a much heavier Martian probe that would include return stage for the lander.

ExodusOrbitals1on Sealed Rust: A plan to bring Rust to safety critical software domains

Interesting. We would love to use Rust instead of legacy aerospace programming languages for our project.

You can have a look at ours: https://www.exodusorbitals.com

ExodusOrbitals1on James Webb Space Telescope emerges successfully from final thermal vacuum test

I had to agree. Never thought that web development would be more than aerospace software development. Hopefully, our project will change that part.
