After 30 minutes of trading today, DXYZ ETF is up 30%. Nice pump and dump setup for those sitting around the NYT newsroom yesterday, just prior to publishing this morning's article.

Since 2021 Sir Richard has net over a billion dollars selling his stock in SPCE. Agree, recognizing VGs fallible shuttlecock wing design probably set Branson off on his pump and dump racquet.

No matter what happens from here, SpaceX can call IFT-3 a success. Enjoy the appropriate 60's interlude music.

First takeaway from the 60 minutes story is that NASA's official projection of a late 2026 crewed HLS attempt is highly unlikely. Perhaps 2029 or even 2030 would be more realistic. Secondly, Blue Origin might have made some news tonight. Announcing they expect their HLS cargo version will...

Tonight 3/3/24, 60 minutes will have a segment on NASA's effort to return to the moon. The promos suggest they will be highlighting the HLS competition between SpaceX and Blue Origin. Although to help rouse viewers, I expect 60 minutes might frame this as race between Musk and Bezos.

Yikes, is this really 2024? Underwhelmed listening to the PDI and delayed landing update. But congratulations, I guess? For a better Real-Time lunar landing experience from 55 Years ago, try Apollo 12 sometime with Pete and Al.

As an avid collector, I try to keep up with threads on collectSPACE. Over the years the lock issue has been discussed several times. I don't know the sources Eric used for his article, but collectSPACE members can always add detail to historical Space topics. An original Flight Data File (FDF or...

Glass is still half-full. Despite a couple of tippy towed boosters, SpaceX's streak of successful landings continues unabated. Could reach 200 by next April!

PHD student seemed quite sure of himself in front of that sparse, yet friendly audience. Wasn't very cool for him to emphasize communication, while coming across as patronizing. Specifically, hearing him lecture and shame anyone in attendence who hadn't read "What Made Apollo a Success"....Also...

Same issue here, but I see they're aiming for the end of the launch window of 8:24pm EST.

FWIW, we've bought a MS and two Volts in MA. Picked up the 2014 MS in Watertown, before the state got involved. Drove home the first Volt in 2015 from a used car dealer. The second was last December from a full Chevy dealership. Didn't pay MA tax on any of those vehicles. Finishing the paperwork...

Epilogue. SpaceX can only fix what's within their control. 4 months later.....they have been stopped, albeit only temporarily. This time it's an unanticipated debris cleanup site in a seasonal bird nesting area. Demonstrates just how easily environmental issues can cause delays. A bit...

How come I see Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse? Guess must old!

I have to screw around too much with my phone and TV remote to screen mirror an X live stream to our Roku TV. It's such a hassle that I've just been hand holding X and skipping thru recent launch highlights.... Maybe someone could remind Elon that the best click is no click...

On our bucket list for 2024 is finding clear skies for this eclipse, also hope to catch a live Starship launch. If within a week of each other, we'll be heading to TX....In 2017 we traveled to Clemson in SC to view the total eclipse. One of the coolest shows on earth.
