SpaceX completes the first launch in 2022Capitalism in space: SpaceX today successfully launched 49 Starlink satellites, thus completing the first launch in 2022.
The first stage landed safely, completing its third flight.
It appears SpaceX alone could have as many as five launches in January, suggesting that 2022 will get off to a very fast start.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Bob – slight error – its 2022 :-)
Jason Rose: Thank you. Habits die hard. All fixed.
Russia’s Baikonur is having Kazakh problems…or vice-versa. Abandoning national assets could make this Putin’s Afghan pull-out. Maybe the unrest was behind the recent UAE deal.
The UAE may deal with Israel with smiles-or maybe Kazakhs are their North Korean proxies–all of a sudden…R-7 looks even more like a minaret…if not the tallest spire of the Iron City of Dis bursting out of the Earth.
We all love the living god Elon Musk for his exploits and technical daring (see current developments in Boca Chica). But it is very good for your own mental health to make fun of Musk (not only for fanboys!) when you get the chance. This funny video offers the opportunity again!
“Elon Musk Invents UNDERGROUND Traffic Jam!”

Questioner: You will cease the name-calling, now. I am tired of you referring to anyone who expresses admiration of Musk and his effort as a “fanboy”. It is insulting, and inappropriate, especially on this site. Those who comment here have made it quite clear that they admire him for rational reasons, and are also aware of his faults.
Similarly, just because Edward rationally disagrees with you about labeling the U.S. as an empire does not justify suggesting he is now “bordering on madness.”
You will stop. You will treat those you are debating with respect. Do it again and I will suspend you for a week.
