#Space 🌌 is a far more logical, sensible place to do #fusion, because that’s where it wants to happen anyway. In 📆 2027, we’re going to send a small part of #Sunbird in #orbit. The first #functional Sunbird will be ready four to five years later. Sunbird could deliver #cargo to #Mars 🔴 in under six months edition.cnn.com/science/nuclea

SpaceX blasts off first human spaceflight, taking 4 astronauts on Earth’s polar orbit

Crew members will attempt to exit the spacecraft without medical assistance after re-entry, helping researchers study astronauts’ post-spaceflight capabilities. Unlike previous missions, Earth's polar regions have remained unseen by astronauts, including those aboard the ISS and Apollo missions.

Reading about @arthurfox 's album called Orbit and Sam Lawler's (@sundogplanets) discussion of the orbits of Saturn's newly-discovered moons brought up a memory from my childhood.

While driving through Manitoba on the Trans-Canada highway on vacation in 1966, my family passed many signs exhorting us to "Put your trash into Orbit!"

Now it looks like the trash is coming back....from orbit.

The #3Dprinted prototype was able to generate thrust more #efficiently than larger, more expensive #chemical rockets and outperformed existing droplet #electrospray engines. It can be produced rapidly and for a fraction of the #cost 💵 of traditional thrusters and even be fully made in #orbit 🌌 news.mit.edu/2025/mit-engineer
