NPR Topics: News | SpaceX launches its biggest, most beefed-up Starship yet on a test flight by The Associated Press
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
SpaceX launched its biggest, most powerful version of Starship—a third‑generation “V3” model with larger thrust, upgraded grid fins and a more robust fuel line—on a test flight from Starbase, Texas, on May 22‑23, 2026. The rocket carried 20 mock Starlink satellites that were released midway through its hour‑long, half‑world‑circumnavigating trajectory before the spacecraft reached the Indian Ocean, where it descended under control but ultimately toppled and ignited on impact, a result SpaceX had anticipated. Although some engines experienced trouble and not all fired on the return, the launch demonstrated key upgrades and the ability to deploy payloads, drawing praise from Elon Musk, who called it “epic,” and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who said the flight moves Starship closer to supporting the Artemis moon program and future Mars missions.

Top Stories | SpaceX launches biggest model of Starship megarocket
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
SpaceX has launched the biggest, most powerful version of its Starship megarocket in a test flight from Texas, carrying 20 mock Starlink satellites before splashing down in the Indian Ocean. The upgraded “V3” Starship, 124 m tall with enhanced thrust, larger grid fins, stronger fuel lines and additional cameras and navigation systems, is intended to serve NASA’s Artemis program to land astronauts on the Moon and eventually support missions to Mars. NASA and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin are each receiving billions of dollars to develop lunar landers, with Artemis III slated for 2027 and a potential crewed Moon landing as early as 2028, depending on which lander proves ready first. The successful launch marks the 12th test of the vehicle and a step toward both lunar and Martian exploration.

Ignorance is not a bliss - it's a missed opportunity! I'm a street dog from Madagascar. Not entirely white. Not entirely (but mostly) friendly. Not afraid of the big dogs. Rarely bark at others - unless on duty. Learned to speak last year. I let my human do the work. He's into breaking 'software' (never smelt or tasted that), feeding and walking me ...

The mission of Artemis 3
just skipped King Don's reality,
slipped on the happy path
to blissful aftermath
when trans-fats saved humanity.

I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.
Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.

With the renewed attention on the Apollo Guidance Computer, I'll share some photos from a presentation I gave a couple of years ago on software documentation, featuring its source code.
The engineers who wrote the software that got astronauts onto the moon sure had a sense of whimsy!

“A Crew is people, or a group that is in it, all the time, no matter what; that is stroking together every minute with the same purpose; that is willing to sacrifice silently for each other; that gives grace; that holds accountable. A crew has the same cares, and the same needs. And, a crew is inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked. So, when we saw tiny earth, people asked our crew what impressions we had. And honestly, what struck me wasn’t necessarily just Earth – it was all the blackness around it. Earth was just this lifeboat, hanging undisturbingly in the universe. So… I may have not learned (I know I haven’t learned) everything that this journey has yet to teach me. But there’s one new thing I know. And that is: Planet Earth – you are a crew.”

🚀 We just sent a team of humans to the moon and safely home.
Not one bit of generative AI was used or needed.
You don't need it in your office or organization, either.
We can do great things without pillaging public resources and funds for a scam.
