Our Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, built upon the Blue Ring platform, will strengthen the communications backbone at the Red Planet while creating new pathways for science. Capable of delivering multiple payloads to the surface and orbits of Mars, it drives discovery today and prepares for the next chapter of human exploration. Blue Ring is mission-ready to support NASA’s Mars Telecommunications Network program. Learn more:

🚀 Elon Musk plans to build a city on Mars “It must be able to develop on its own — even if supplies from Earth stop coming. The turning point will come when Mars becomes fully autonomous,” the billionaire said. Earlier, NASA announced that it wants to head to Mars as early as the beginning of the 2030s. The space journey is planned aboard Starship.

Hi TeamYouTube, not sure why you guys are seemingly demonetizing half the videos I post recently for no reason but this video got apparently confirmed by human review as not suitable for ads for "hateful content" when I'm clearly saying its a bad tattoo and thats the whole point of the video, its literally titled "horrific tattoos". If a person did look at this, and I'd take a guess and say they didn't, they're not taking into account context at all. link:

NEWS: For the first time, SpaceX's Dragon capsule just successfully performed a reboot demo using its Draco thrusters to alter the International Space Station's altitude. NASA gave SpaceX the contract to deorbit the ISS & send it into the ocean at the end of its lifetime in 2031. The Dragon capsule fired its Draco thrusters for ~12.5 minutes today to adjust the station’s orbit. Here is a video of the test today:

🚨 NEWS FROM NASA In a bold and decisive move, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman just announced a $20 billion plan to build America’s permanent base on the Moon — and they’re doing it in just 7 years. Today, NASA officially confirmed it is cancelling plans for the Lunar Gateway — the small space station that was supposed to orbit the Moon as a waypoint for astronauts. Instead, those components and resources will be repurposed directly for the surface base, accelerating humanity’s return to sustained lunar presence. The goal is clear — move beyond short visits and flags-and-footprints missions. NASA wants a real, long-term foothold on the Moon: habitats, power systems, rovers, scientific labs, and infrastructure that can support crews for months at a time. This base will serve as the foundation for deeper space exploration, resource utilization (like mining lunar ice for fuel and water), and eventually — Mars. The $20 billion investment over the next seven years will reshape major parts of the Artemis program. It comes with real urgency too — China is pushing hard toward its own crewed Moon landing by 2030, and the U.S. is determined to lead, not follow. This isn’t just about science. · A permanent lunar base means:Testing technologies for Mars missions in a real off-world environment · Developing in-situ resource utilization (turning Moon dirt into rocket fuel and oxygen) · Opening the door to a true cislunar economy · Inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists, and explorers Private industry will play a massive role, as always — with contractors already building key hardware now being redirected. This is the kind of ambitious, focused leadership the space program has needed. From the first boots on the Moon in 1969 to building a thriving outpost there by the early 2030s — what an incredible leap forward. Significanly, the Moon isn’t just a destination anymore: it’s becoming home base for humanity’s expansion into the Solar System.

It was a clean, controlled ocean splashdown. The vehicle flipped vertically, completed its landing burn, and safely touched down before tipping and exploding, achieving 100% of its test objectives exactly as planned, including the explosion Yet, the legacy media like The Guardian deliberately choose headlines like "SpaceX rocket bursts into flames" to farm clicks, making it look like a failure when it's in fact the complete opposite, all for cheap sensationalism

BREAKING: SPACEX IS BUYING ITS WAY INTO THE AI CODING WAR FOR $60 BILLION. 🇺🇸 Musk's SpaceX agreed to acquire Anysphere, the company behind Cursor, in a $60,000,000,000 all-stock deal, days after its record Nasdaq IPO. Cursor competes directly with Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. This deal hands xAI a foothold in a market where it was lagging, overnight. Revenue around $2,600,000,000 annualized. A $10,000,000,000 breakup fee shows how badly Musk wanted it. The AI coding race just went from a startup fight to a clash of trillion-dollar empires.

🚨 DUSK TILL DAWN: SPACEX’S TWILIGHT MISSION GOES VERTICAL Elon is taking us on a "sunset cruise." SpaceX is targeting today for the Twilight mission, the first of its kind. Forget the usual Transporter or Bandwagon series... this is a bespoke rideshare to a "dusk-dawn" sun-synchronous orbit. The Falcon 9 is sitting pretty at Pad 4E in Vandenberg, California, ready to hurl 40 payloads into a trajectory that rides the Earth's terminator line. This isn't just a fancy name. Dusk-dawn orbits are the "infinite battery" hack of space travel. By staying on the edge of the planet's shadow, these satellites get 24/7 sunlight; perfect for high-power data centers in space or NASA’s Pandora mission, which is hitching a ride to sniff out exoplanet atmospheres. It’s a niche market that SpaceX is effectively turning into a suburban bus route, making high-demand science accessible for the price of a mid-tier Silicon Valley office lease. Watch the lander. Booster B1097 is on its fifth flight and aiming for a Return to Launch Site (RTLS) at LZ-4. If SpaceX nails this "terminator" trajectory, expect a surge in "space-based compute" startups immediately. The era of the orbiting server farm is officially here, and the Mullahs in Tehran (who currently have their own internet issues) are going to find it much harder to kill a signal that never sees a sunset.

108 Hz + Harmonics — A Deeper State of Calm ✨ 108 Hz, combined with its harmonics like 864 Hz, 1732 Hz, and 3456 Hz, creates a powerful sound healing field that supports your mind and body in returning to balance. These frequencies are naturally aligned, working together to amplify a sense of harmony within your system. This layered vibration can help reduce the noise of the mind, ease overthinking, and bring you into a deeper state of inner stillness. Rather than forcing calm, the sound gently guides your system into it. As you listen, your body can shift into the parasympathetic system — the state where the nervous system relaxes, restores, and regulates itself. This is why working with these frequencies can support both nervous system regulation and nervous system healing. Using 108 Hz and its harmonics can help you: • quiet mental chatter and inner tension • support nervous system regulation • activate the parasympathetic state • experience deeper sound healing through harmonic resonance Together, these frequencies create a more immersive and powerful reset for your entire system. ✨ The deeper the harmony, the deeper the calm.

I'm getting really sick and tired of race traitors!!!! If you think this is ugly White Men, when a White Woman goes and race mixes with an asian male, then why the fuck do you do it with an asian female? Look at the mixed race mutt kids?!! Do they look anything like the White parent?!! NO!!!! Their skin is not the same as ours! They have a yellow tinge to their skin colour, asians don't have light skin naturally, they mostly bleach it. Stop falling for stupid asians, you are genôciding the White Race!!! This Woman is also Polish 🇵🇱

I believe NASA stopped going to the moon because there are ETs, crafts and structures everywhere, and the military has been recovering ET technology for a while. ------- #NEIOH (2020) - "This is actually a very ancient craft that crashed here and was abandoned. It remains intact but was not worth the recovery of this race from outside the solar system. The occupants were picked up by friends. They are called MOKAS, as their planet is MOKA. They stand 8 feet tall with grey skin. Very friendly. Very low in technology." Lunar Orbiter 3 Mission, 1967 -
