Looking down at the back of the pusher plate on an interplanetary Orion as it coasts away from Earth. During maneuvers, this 40 meter wide disk receives and cushions the equivalent of one Hiroshima every 100 seconds
When @rfa_space's Argo flies its first demonstration mission, it will visit the International Space Station, likely docking at the @Axiom_Space segment being assembled in the late 2020s.
NASA will soon have 2 LEO crew providers, three LEO cargo providers, 2 commercial LEO stations, 2 crewed lunar landers, half a dozen cargo landers, 3 unpressurized rovers, 5 rockets capable of delivering crew-vehicle-sized payloads to TLI, yet still only 1 lunar crew capsule. Odd
Rocket Factory Augsburg's Argo capsule in flight Good luck @rfa_space
A rideshare stack about to be propelled to a high energy orbit by @GoToImpulse's Helios upper stage, separating from @SpaceX's Falcon 9
For any of the (many) people who have bought my Nova-C model over the last 3 days, I have uploaded a remodeled/retextured version, if you bought the old one you can download it free Or if you haven't bought it, its here: cgtrader.com/3d-models/spac…
A lander undocks from the STCAEM nuclear MTV. Its turtle-shell heat shield will protect it during entry and be discarded prior to landing
A STCAEM nuclear Mars Transfer Vehicle completes trans-martian injection, carrying a Mars Excursion Module on its nose
Old render I did of @astroscale_HQ ADRAS-J on @RocketLab Electron. Turns out the design has changed a bit since I made this picture, but whatever, it still looks cool.
For scale, the STCAEM surface hab alone is about the size of ISS's Destiny and Leonardo modules combined. Big, but would probably still feel cramped after 2 or 3 months
While getting ready to launch two spacecraft in a few weeks, we've also been working on a new website. Check out the new and improved atomosspace.com!
100% failure rate. 11 total stages (counting each SRB). Air-start boosters. Near-zero growth potential. Diameter step within just the core stage. Can barely even see the classic Delta Blue behind the SRBs. Less capable than the lowest-end Delta IV. Barely reduced risk for EELV

From the LunA-10 doc, a lunar foundry. Weighs 5 tons, produces 500t of metal a year, enough to build 55km of rail a year. You could fit 20 of these on a single Starship, which could make 1100km of rail a year, which could make enough rail to circle the Moon in just 10 years.

@SciGuySpace Back in the days (early in the Constellation program), when NASA selected re-invented AVCOAT over modified PICA, 1 of my contacts at NASA (a TPS engineer) predicted that '...selecting AVCOAT will be an expensive mistake.' That prediction is slowly but inevitably becoming true.
