'When SpaceX CEO Elon Musk chose a remote Texas outpost on the Gulf Coast to develop his company’s ambitious Starship, he put the 400-foot rocket on a collision course with the commercial airline industry.'

At 5:49 p.m., air traffic controllers told pilots over the Caribbean that a SpaceX Starship rocket had exploded.
All planes were ordered to avoid an area where the Federal Aviation Administration estimated debris would fall
launches exploded at unexpected points on their flight paths,
Last year, three of Starship’s five launches exploded at unexpected points on their flight paths,
twice raining flaming debris over congested commercial airways and disrupting flights. …

“We’re Too Close to the Debris”
The FAA predicted Elon Musk’s Starship would cause “minor or minimal” disruption. Then the rockets exploded twice in three months over busy airspace. Flight data reveals how many planes scrambled to protect passengers and avoid burning debris.

Could SpaceX Starship launch in California? Site will cater to larger rockets
Bigger and more powerful rockets could be launching in the years ahead from Vandenberg base in Southern California. Will SpaceX Starship be among them?

Even though the focus of #StarTrek is usually on the main cast, there are quite a few other people working in the different departments of a starship. So let's look at these for today's #TrekTriviaTuesday question.
As always no googling and no spoiling the answer for others. Pleas…

If you see the “return to the moon” news, remember that an actual landing by 2027/28 (as currently planned) depends on SpaceX being able to launch about 10–20 Starships within a single month (for their lander and fuel).
They haven’t even launched it into orbit yet.

Made Stuff

Made 11 Wordcloud Tarot shows.

See them here
The target is like 25. So about half as many as target.
Some good, some great.
See them here
Not enough. The target is like 6.
Meh.
Target is for 2026 to be the next one anyway really.
I do have a script and all the assets needed to animate it, but I have become unhappy with the script and failed so far at rewrites.
Should get it done next year at some point I'd hope.
Overshooting the target of zero there. surprise new entry in the projects list
