  • Happy New Year

    From Alain Fournier@alain245@videotron.ca to sci.space.policy on Wed Dec 31 19:20:53 2025

    Happy New Year to all. 2026 should be interesting. SpaceX's Starship
    should become operational and Blue Origin's New Glenn launches will
    probably become routine. Low cost large rockets such as those can open
    up new possibilities.

    They aren't the Space Shuttle. SpaceX won't call them operational in
    at all in 2026, even if they get to launching real Starlinks on them.

    and Blue Origin's New Glenn launches will probably become
    routine.

    I think it will take more than 4 a year to call NG launches routine.
    That will be double this year's cadence.

    Low cost large rockets such as those can open up new possibilities.

    Yes, but not in 2026. Still exploration for a while.

    If SpaceX goes public Musk is never sending anyone to Mars. Shareholders
    will not want THEIR money spent on frivolous adventures. They want profit!
