Today In Space

On this episode, we look back at 5 years of the Falcon Heavy and what that inaugural launch means today. The Tesla Roadster and Starman was iconic, and the double landing of both side boosters blew everyone's minds. After the 5th FH launch in January 2023, how far have we come? For me, it's a flaashback to my days working in Apple Retail, sitting in my car after my shift and waatching the inaugural launch. I've come a long way since then, and so have the entire space industry and especailly Human Spaceflight. Starship also had a major milestone with a static fire of the 33 Raptor Engines to produce the most thrust EVER produced by a single rocket. We go over what happened, what's next, and why its so important for space progress - including NASA's Artemis program. https://www.inverse.com/article/59721-spacex-starship-elon-musk-teases-100-person-cargo-bay-destined-for-mars https://www.spacex.com/vehicles/starship/ https://www.spacex.com/vehicles/falcon-heavy/ https://www.youtube.com/live/2kG4AbAcia0?feature=
