History being dismantled ...
Out of space, NASA is demolishing Apollo and space shuttle launch platform | collectSPACE
One of the three large steel platforms that supported the launch of NASA's Apollo and space shuttle missions is being demolished — due to a lack of space. Mobile Launch Platform-2 (MLP-2) was front and center for 51 spaceflights from 1968 through 2011.

SpaceX provided jan 25th as the date for a 10 mile hop of SN9, the latest "Starship" out of the production line.
SN8 took off, manoeuvered perfectly, but lost an engine following a fuel cut off due to insufficient pressure in one of the tanks, and hard landed.
Looking forward to the flight. I hope I´catch it live.

In other news, Feb 18th us the planned arrival date of "Perseverance" on Mars. Gonna be a nail-biter.

SpaceX Starship SN9 flies high, explodes on landing just like SN8
After delays and a flap with the FAA, the Mars rocket prototype ran a vertical 10K on Tuesday.

Might be seeing the "hop" of SN9 today.
My guy, the "everyday astronaut" is live
It' s even better.
Note to "the Expanse" fans, a starship is bigger than the "Rocinante"!

My old boss Jeff Bezos announced his retirement at Amazon CEO today, effective later this year.
AWS founder gets to take over as CEO in the upcoming monopoly fight, while Jeff rides off into the sunset to build rockets.
I will bet everything I own with absolutely certainty that Jeff is going to allocate 80% of his time and virtually limitless resources(up from the current $1B per annum) on Blue Origin.
Amazon has simply been the vehicle by which Jeff pursues his apex nerd aspirations he has held since childhood.
I’m waiting for when Elon and Jeff announce their race to see which one is first to space.
While this means nothing today, it means everything for space industry in 3-5-10 years.
Elon Musk separating from Tesla in a few years to focus on SpaceX more exclusively(as if he even knows how to focus exclusively on one problem set) is about the only other thing that could make this space industry environment better.
1 classmate(rocket scientist and former Russian tank driver) recently went public with his “space Uber” via SPAC.
1 classmate just got funded and contracted to clean up orbiting space trash.
This new-ish decade could 10x the 50’s & 60’s achievements in space combined.

SpaceX used the term RUD to describe the consequence of the failed landing of the SN9 prototype.
RUD means "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly"
The "disassembly" part is quite substantial when you take a look at the footage. It' s kind of different from dissassembling a piece of furniture. Kind of a permanent disassembly.
