Mind = blown💥 Earlier this year, #NASAMarshall and Lockheed... Martin Space engineers conducted a long duration creep test of an inflatable deep space habitation concept. Creep tests performed at Marshall are designed to take this space technology to its breaking point. The design achieved over 1,000 hours at pressure before bursting – well exceeding the planned duration.show more

Imagine what Lockheed Martin has now if they had... this is in 2008.. In 2008, Lockheed Martin discreetly tested a forward-looking missile-defense concept known as the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV). Instead of a single interceptor, MKV proposed releasing several small, autonomous kill vehicles in space, each able to track and destroy individual warheads or decoys. Relying on advanced sensors, onboard guidance, and extreme precision, MKV was designed to defeat saturation attacks far more efficiently than existing systems. Early tests reportedly proved the idea workable, but shifting budgets and strategy led to its cancellation—leaving only a fleeting glimpse of a modular, space-based defense future.show more

🚨 SPACEX JUST GOT FAA APPROVAL TO TEST ITS... NEW “STARFALL” CAPSULES. These are not regular reentry vehicles. SpaceX’s new circular Starfall capsules are designed to bring up to 1,000 kg of payload back from orbit safely, repeatedly, and at scale. They can launch on either Falcon 9 or Starship, perform in-space manufacturing, then reenter and splash down in the Pacific for rapid recovery. Why this matters: • Enables true commercial in-space manufacturing (microgravity + vacuum) that can be returned to Earth • Could become a “proliferated successor” to the ISS for self-sustaining space industry • Opens the door to rapid point-to-point cargo delivery from orbit to anywhere on Earth • Directly competes with companies like Varda that have been flying similar missions on SpaceX rockets The deeper implication is massive: We are moving from “occasional experiments in space” to routine manufacturing and logistics in orbit. If Starfall works at scale, companies could build factories in space, produce high-value materials that can’t be made on Earth, and ship them back down regularly all without needing a full space station. This is one of the clearest steps yet toward a real, self-sustaining commercial space economy. What do you think will in-space manufacturing finally become a serious industry, or is this still too early? Follow for more frontier space and future technology.show more

🚨🇨🇳CHINA TESTS NEW "SPACE CAPABLE" FIGHTER JET Forget drones... over New Jersey; China is upping the stakes with the maiden flight of its latest jet, codenamed the Baidi or White Emperor. The 6th generation jet is designed to be an "integrated space-air fighter" that can fly at supersonic speeds and operate in space. It has a tailless design and diamond-shaped wings and is equipped with advanced avionics and stealth features. The Baidi also has a large internal weapons bay to carry more air-to-ground munitions without compromising stealth. Source: Clash Reportshow more

A dramatic moment captures a space rock striking the... Moon’s surface, creating a powerful and sudden impact. The object hits at incredible speed, producing a brief flash and disturbing the lunar surface. With no atmosphere to slow it down, the Moon is constantly exposed to impacts from space rocks, which have shaped its cratered landscape over billions of years. Events like this are happening all the time, but capturing one clearly is rare. This moment gives a glimpse into the dynamic nature of space and how even the Moon continues to change. A brief impact, but a powerful reminder of cosmic activity. #nasa #space #spacexshow more
