    Enterprise floating in New York Harbor

    Yeah, it's less damage than I thought at first. Seems to be just the very tip of the wing. Still, though... it's the damn space shuttle you just knocked into a pier...

    News Mars One - settlement funded via reality TV in 2023

    Yeah, the whole thing seems very technologically sound. I just question the ability to get funding, and their chosen means to get funding.

    Pretty sure the PICA-X shield can be used for dozens of times on reentry with only minor degradation. And, the shuttle was very far from 100% reusable, but that's not something for this topic.

    They're also neglecting that most people wouldn't even really take an interest, unfortunately...

    If they're chosen based on scientific experience, then sure. But choosing them for more interesting TV...how about no.

    The best way I've found is to use a telescope or binoculars (with one side covered) to project an image of the sun onto something. No modifications necessary, so no extra cost.

    Launch News SpaceX Falcon 9 F3 COTS2+ Updates

    I think I read somewhere that it would use APAS, so it could dock with the existing PMAs? But perhaps that was a misidentification of LIDS in a rendering somewhere...

    Question Trip to Venus

    You aren't putting yourself into a retrograde solar orbit, merely cancelling out some of Earth's orbital velocity to bring your periapsis lower to meet Venus.
