Nvidia says that machine learning and agents will take over computer programming. Jensen says distributed AI inference will have to work in order to meet the demand for inference. AI inference will reflect upon getting the answer 10,000 times. Chain of reasoning and reflection and other intensification of compute for the answers. This will make ... Read more
Vast Space, the aerospace startup founded by former crypto tycoon Jed McCaleb, plans to replace the International Space Station. Haven-2 would serve as a specialized lab in low-Earth orbit, where visitors can conduct microgravity research. The Vast Haven-1 space station is targeting August 2025. They will start with four cylindrical modules that can dock to ... Read more
The most important things about the booster catch and the simulated Starship catches is that the accuracy of positioning is in the centimeters or less. They will be able to repeat. The burnthroughs on the heat shield around one of the fins was minor. This is a new age. Now saving boosters and 33 Raptor ... Read more
SpaceX has ablative heat shield underneath the 18,000+ heat shield tiles. SpaceX Starship is going through peak heating and looks good and undamaged for the orbital re-entry and return. Now about ten minutes from the landing burn and the simulated tower catch and then a soft landing into the Indian Ocean. Starship has slowed to ... Read more
The SpaceX Starship launched and was caught. This is a new age for space with the booster catch. Fully resuable starship booser. If there is no incident with the orbital starship which should have no reentry damage with a massively improved heat shield then flight 6 should be in weeks and flight 7 could reuse ... Read more
SpaceX is preparing for what could be a launch and catch of the booster tomorrow. Ryan Hansen has an excellent video with renderings of all mechanisms and processes that will be used on the Mechazilla launch tower. A successful catch will mean recovery of the 33 engines in the booster and the entire super heavy ... Read more
The FAA has given SpaceX Starship the license to fly flight 5 and flight 6. The FAA has granted SpaceX the license to launch Starship 5 as early as tomorrow from Boca Chica, Texas. This approval, ahead of schedule, confirms all safety, environmental, and licensing requirements have been met. SpaceX’s “Mechazilla” launch tower will attempt ... Read more
