#Space 🌌 is undergoing a revolution* comparable with the growth of the #internet 🌐 20 years ago, and like the internet, this will affect all domains of life.
Our society is now utterly dependent on the #satellites 🛰️ that orbit #Earth. The #communications 📶 and #navigation 🧭 services that they make possible are so interwoven in our everyday lives that in the #UK 🇬🇧, #space is classed as one of 13 critical national #infrastructure sectors. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/nov/26/europe-moon-space-race-esa-india-russia-china-japan

"...a power outage at #SpaceX’s California facility caused a loss of #GroundControl, meaning that the mission control team was briefly unable to command the #spacecraft."
Single outage brought GROUND CONTROL down?! On the ground where power grids & diesel generators at a nearby home improvement store are! Have they never heard of battery backups and generators?! They have no idea what 3 points-safe₁ means, nor failover₂, and have no business trying to send so much as a spatula to #space.

They're gonna get people killed and in so doing also poison the public's view of #SpaceExploration, all because they cannot be bothered to buy an mf-ing generator or something that a f-ing 8th grader could sort out. This recklessness is bad and so typical of the apartheid space douche and his cascading bad ideas. All he does is accumulate money for himself and hurt others.
#Musk is a hazard to all living things, and some non-living things.

@lori_garver “It got funded as a rocket to nowhere, and we at #NASA had to figure out something to do with it”.
The #rocket is #unsustainable by design, relying on an old and potentially quite expensive 💰 way to get to #space 🌌. Much of #SLS is a holdover from the #SpaceShuttle. https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/01/09/1065143/nasa-artemis-return-to-moon

"Political and #aerospace interests were more than reluctant to embrace any changes which they viewed as a threat to their own hegemony."
The mainstream media doesn’t cover #SpaceExploration and #SpaceScience with the same questioning 🔍 rigor that they reserve for #politics. People writing about space exploration are mostly cheerleaders 🥳 for the cause, rather than independent observers keeping a watchful eye on how our national monies 💰 are spent. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2022/06/23/new-book-paints-bleak-picture-of-nasas-human-spaceflight-program/

Hopefully this won’t change our mission to the ISS to study the effects of zero gravity on crown tapper and wearability.
