The Infinite World

SpaceX Starship 3rd ITF is likely in later part of March 2024, looking forward to the first successful touchdown of the both booster and Starship !  Controlling the engine sufficiently would be critical to achieving the landing either on land or at sea based platform.  Looking to see the first payload by the 5 or 6th launch. If the 3rd test can see the Starship coming back for a controlled landing, then progress should be fast. Should see at least 4 to 5 Starship flights or test in 2024.

Is there a controller/s who watch over human activities ? Fundamental question that no one can answer, but a difficult question indeed!  The ultimate question that everyone is curious about and also being exploited to benefit those who wants control! 

The year 2024 just started! Hopefully this would turn out to be a better year for Earth! Less fighting amongst the earthlings and more helping each other! People need to be less selfish and less greedy, consumerism and greed is killing the environment!

 SpaceX Starship did reached orbit of around 150km during the 2nd Test flight on 18 Nov 2023. It was unfortunate that the Starship had to be given a self destruct command to terminate its flight due to lost of telemetry! It had overcome the most difficult part of stage separation and igniting the starship’s six engine in flight!  Not sure why it was mentioned as lost of telemetry as the reason for having to destroy it! Controlling Starship should have been a simple task, probably due to engine control failure! Hopefully the 3rd test flight would see Starship do at least 1 full orbit or do a re-entry attempt!

Human has a bad habit, that is fighting each other.  Another bad habit is keeping to a bad plan, like what happened to most grand projects in Space. With the ability to get to space frequently, it’s time to put machines or astronauts to work to create the future of mankind in space! Not sure if human can actually do welding in space, or else maybe bolt parts or modules together to create the future space station or habitat. The ISS seemed like unplanned jigsaw puzzle, randomly put together!  It’s time to do something useful in space, do near things not grand plan to find another planet, that you will never get there in 1000 earth years!

SpaceX has completed 94 orbital launches in 2023 and we could see another 1-2 launches before 31 Dec 2023. The 94th launch was for Sarah 2 and 3 satellites for the German Military. This has been a busy year for SpaceX with 90 falcon 9 and 4 falcon heavy launches.  SpaceX is targeting 144 launch in 2024, let’s see how close they can get to this number!
