‘Starship’ does lots of trials and goes for bald missions. They have the ability to do the technological tests and run enormous missions at the same time. We are in the era when the finest cutting edge technology is mature enough to be bald with missions. Numerous tests, engineering refinements and tests again, all the precautions to eliminate any failure. The projects are confident enough to state the timelines and costs. There are too many uncertainties for the plans to be very precise. There is uncertainty on any new uncertainties to come across even. The technology is on rail to go despite the hindrances. It is kind of a careful Occam's razor, and I believe it will work. As it does for the rest. I would say, we can only stick with the leaders' plans for a bet.

Would you please brief on the information. I couldn't access to the information that you have intended, as it seems. Thank you for sharing. Exoplanets exploration gets more and more unveiled and informative.

Multistage rocket launches were one of the issues for selecting rocket launch sites till about 1990’s passivation implemented. Though nowadays multistage rocket parts are recommended (UN, ITU) to be moved to a disposal orbit, they can either burn in the atmosphere or become space debris. Moreover, exclusions still exist, threatening to reach the earth surface (which we can find in the latest news). The Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies (CORDS) is known for monitoring the issues of space debris and space traffic management. There are many questions in front of active space companies, including: satellites control with AI, debris removal technologies for new launches, making launches clean (with ecofuel), creating ‘traffic rules’ on the orbit. Is there a threat that is not spotlighted, as debris falling into earth? Don't mean easy but still effective multistage rockets that are used for many purposes, including LEO payload delivery.

A ‘butterfly astronomer’ would be the closest one. Currently mostly LEO and weather inclined. Though most of my effort is going to data analysis and methods (in the Solar system and far beyond). I like gazing at stars and I like working with tables. I see the light at the end of the tables

The precision and wisdom of NASA scientists and engineers must make it successful. The Webb Telescope ran through the launch and operating scenarios, which took into account it’s complexity, weight, possibilities of maintenance, and one of the most important - the fuel amount. Still it is necessary to work within the laws of physics. And I believe, all the tests considered scenarios from a ‘perfect launch’ to the worst case - which will still put the telescope to orbit. Making more than one might have a lot of time as another main resource to be consumed.

A dignified launch for such a powerful team: NASA in conjunction with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). We should be ready to reconsider our visions, according to the unbelievable increase of the universe's grasp as for the distances and new evidence. And speculations for the new Earth

Hello, JOC. Thank you for the comment. Coronal mass ejections (CME) - huge solar eruptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_mass_ejection

Recently a lot of stargazers payed a lot of attention to the Sun spots observation. New sunspots are reported to be flaring. https://www.spaceweather.com/ AR2865 produced a B7-class solar flare. The consequences are expected on September 8-9.

Thank you for posting an interest in the exoplanets observation. They impose a real interest: Paying attention to stability of star-planet systems (orbits, spins); Data for possible planet information (not only mass, but temperature, so forth); Moonmoon systems. I would also agree on the flux, that generally it is more correct. But depending on observation, is it not more vulnerable to the data collection (though during the time it may have just insignificant fluctuations)? Magnitude looks more stable for observance, and at the same time gives more information on steady changes, opposed to snapshot of flux. Actually, any additional data that might have been missed will be significant for new simulations of exoplanets investigation.

Environmental awareness not only show growth in media, but also takes its steps. 1. Space, Climate Change, and International Cooperation: SWFoundation and British Embassy are hosting an experts panel role in monitoring and tackling climate change. Today, when the extremes are obvious with heat, tropic nights, fires, floods it is not possible to stop all the cars, plants, cut electricity consumption and go to dark and wait. Also, it is not possible to waste time only trying to tackle the blazes where it just appears. Time to take international initiatives and leverage the situation in a cooperative, proactive and effective way. As stated above high-level initiatives are in action. These actions need strong, modern technology based companies to get involved. One of the key features of success in space technology is the engagement of many countries and companies at the same time in order to have fast action due to the complexity of these projects. Reliable and successful companies are there in action. It is possible to get the relevant example from Skyrora, the UK private rocket launch company. https://www.skyrora.com/blog/tag/space-technology 2. Also on-earth adaptive learning and local information gathering and analysis for at least short-term reaction on local ecosystems survival implementation is proposed to be spotlighted.

Great mission, thank you for sharing! Tough formulation ‘rival Hubble’). Looking forward to the results of supporting ‘Hubble Space Telescope [..till..] it inevitably fails’ with even better results, as it expected after so many years of Hubble solo.

There are millions of nearby stars similar to the Sun. Planets accompany most sun-like stars. The orbits of many are sufficiently close that they will be engulfed when their host stars ascend the giant branch. This study implies that a significant fraction of planetary systems undergo very dynamical evolutionary paths that can critically modify their architectures, unlike our Solar System which has preserved its planets on nearly circular orbits. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.12040.pdf Next-generation instruments from the European Southern Observatory, such as the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectrograph Telescope (4MOST) and Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph (MOONS), will be able to observe chemically inhomogeneous Sun-like pairs with more detail. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322517864_Planetary_Engulfment_in_the_Hertzsprung--Russell_Diagram 'Always look on the bright side of life !' - agree. And I would add, that life existence itself shows the brightness.

What persistence and strength for the goal during the years of harsh race in space. Indicative data on what engineering can do. The technical approach of the starting exploration era through trial and error. Sending satellites, humans, reaching the Moon, Venus, Mars. Today technology leap and standardization of launches through numerous experiences visualizes colonization to us. At the same time the word 'colonization' brings to mind long inhabited cities rather than starting with a station, which can be visited by humans for a short term. Exploration stepping, not leaping yet. Still our raising the bar has been foreseen through centuries Thank you for sharing the videos.

Adding to all the statistics and personal experiences. There is never 100% protection even when all measures are followed, the situation is not stable and not predictable yet. New cases and numbers are coming like children being infected (which were not thought is a danger group before). Stargazers wouldn’t be an individual group to be noticed in overall statistics, but no need to put more precedents to personal experiences. This is also not only about being confident of someone, but also to mind your own responsibility for anyone's health. Patience.

The core of a neutron star contains some protons (and electrons) as well as neutrons as superfluid degenerate matter. Wikipedia: Current models indicate that matter at the surface of a neutron star is composed of ordinary atomic nuclei crushed into a solid lattice with a sea of electrons flowing through the gaps between them. It is possible that the nuclei at the surface are iron, due to iron's high binding energy per nucleon. It is also possible that heavy elements, such as iron, simply sink beneath the surface, leaving only light nuclei like helium and hydrogen. Proceeding inward [..] The expected hierarchy of phases of nuclear matter in the inner crust has been characterized as "nuclear pasta", with fewer voids and larger structures towards higher pressures. The composition of the superdense matter in the core remains uncertain. Is it possible, that in between the uncertainties of a neutron stars some elements produced, or this is just a collapse to a mass of free particles?
