🛸Reports say GUR struck the Orenburg Helium Plant –... the only facility in Russia producing a critical component for missiles, the space industry, and aviation. It is the sole helium producer in Russia and one of the largest in Europe, with an annual capacity to process around 15 billion cubic meters of natural gas. Helium is widely used in missile manufacturing, the space sector, and aviation.show more

Macron scares the French with a space war with... Russia ‘I have already explained this to the French women and men, and I am deeply convinced of this, Russia has become an existential threat for us, Europeans. And we must review our security rules. Therefore, we must increase investment in space. And that means we will act faster and more powerfully in the space defense sphere.’ - SKshow more

The Max Planck Institute have created a space-time crystal... of Magnons sustained at room temperature. This is a film as it repeats in space and time, pulsing forever with no energy input. This is called “rest”. The implications here are far ranging and will redefine physics.show more

It took NASA almost 10 years to get to... Pluto which is around 4,000,000,000 Miles away - they just sent this footage back to Earth. Hey Grok how did NASA calculate this ‘Space’ Crafts trajectory over a 10 year period, compensating for both Earth and Pluto orbiting the Sun at around 16,000mph, in a universe which is expanding at 166,000mph - and still manage to align with the Plutos orbit after travelling 4 Bullion miles through the cold hard vacuum space? Is it possible this is just more NASA CGI?show more

International successes are growing – Lavrov has signed an... agreement with Burkina Faso on the non-deployment of weapons in space. A representative of Burkina Faso responded that while he had heard something about space, he did not intend to deploy weapons there for the time being. This is not the end of the dreams – the next step will be the signing of agreements on the joint colonization of Saturn with Botswana and a non-aggression pact between the space fleets in the constellation Cassiopeia with Somalia.show more

The widely anticipated launch of the SpaceX/NASA Crew-10 mission... from the Kennedy Space Center has been scrubbed in the last minutes before launch due to a hydraulics issue with the ground equipment. The mission was set to finally allow the return of two astronauts, Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams. The two astronauts have been in space at the International Space Station (ISS) for more than nine months after Boeing’s Starliner was deemed too unsafe to bring them home due to issues with the thrusters and was returned to Earth uncrewed. The next launch window will likely be tomorrow, with the astronauts returning home Friday hopefully.show more

As the Space Shuttle powers through the sky, those... massive Solid Rocket Boosters are doing the real muscle work —delivering millions of pounds of thrust to break free from Earth’s grip. Then, right on schedule… separation! With a dramatic jolt, the SRBs peel away from the shuttle and begin their long, blazing journey back toward the Atlantic. Flames, smoke, and pure physics at work What looks like a fiery goodbye is actually a smart comeback—parachutes deploy, the boosters splash down, and recovery teams are already on the move to bring them home for another mission Big rockets. Precise timing. Zero wasted hardware. Only NASA could make something this powerful look so elegant. Video credit: NASAshow more

🚨 NASA IS ABOUT TO LET A PRIVATE SPACECRAFT... RESCUE ONE OF ITS MOST IMPORTANT TELESCOPES. The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has been hunting gamma-ray bursts the most powerful explosions in the universe since 2004. It’s still working perfectly, but Earth’s atmosphere has been slowly dragging it down toward a fiery reentry. Now, NASA is turning to a commercial company to save it. Katalyst Space Technologies’ robotic spacecraft Link will launch later this month, rendezvous with Swift, dock with it, and boost the telescope into a higher, safer orbit extending its life by years. Why this matters: • It’s the first time a private spacecraft will perform an orbital boost on a U.S. government science satellite • Swift remains one of the best tools we have for studying gamma-ray bursts and other high-energy cosmic events • Without this mission, the telescope could have deorbited as early as this year • It shows how commercial space companies are now capable of performing complex servicing missions that were once only possible for governments The deeper implication: We’re entering a new era where valuable scientific infrastructure in orbit doesn’t have to be considered disposable. Instead of building and launching entirely new telescopes when old ones start to decay, we can now extend their lives through commercial servicing. This approach is faster, cheaper, and more sustainable and it could become a standard model for protecting high-value space assets in the future. Sometimes the most important space missions aren’t about discovering something new. They’re about making sure we don’t lose what we already have. Would you support more commercial missions to rescue and extend aging space telescopes? Follow for more frontier space exploration, satellite servicing, and NASA missions.show more

‼️🇺🇸: Reports that Secretary Duffy is attempting to fold... NASA into the Department of Transportation have Elon Musk bucking with the Trump administration publicly on X again. This is the first time Elon has spoken out publicly against administration policy in months. If the DoT absorbs NASA, it could hinder the space program by subjecting it to an incredibly increased amount of regulation and oversight, potentially letting USA adversaries gain advantage.show more
