Chad Galactic

Zimmerman has a roundup of space news, mostly on companies not going to space this week.

Yesterday Casey had dropped by his own blog for the first time this year trashing NASA's Senate Launch System, which even Senators don't want anymore. Today we learn Bezos' Blue Origin is delayed. UPDATE 2/26: extra-virgin Galactic is not busting its space cherry; Tim Ellis is still vaporware. At least muh boiz Rocket Lab are out of the headlines...

Tomorrow we might be seeing SpaceX doing another Starship launch. We don't expect it to land, but they're getting a lot of experience in doing anything but land. [UPDATE: Probably Tuesday. Landing the thing is a... thing, and it's windy. So, Elon needs to account for wind.]

This may well explain how come Bezos Press aka Washington Post is running hitpieces on Musk and his company, and why the US's 3LAs are mounting Serious Investigations. Nice company ya got there.
