If the JWST add-on for Orbiter 2016 is ready, then we can use its mirror and create a larger solar shade beneath the mirror to replicate the LUVOIR telescope. ?

I was trying to change my avatar for some reason. However, the website loads continuously, with no network timeout.

As promised, I have added the image of Ariane 5 in my wall collage of spaceflight images.

Geez...:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Jokes aside, it sounds fairly normal to me for every such ambitious missions, including the Artemis 1 demo mission. I also wish to add a picture of Ariane 5 taking off with JWST at the same wall where I have pictures of Atlas V, Falcon 9 and the JWST itself.

Yup, likely. As I have witnessed numerous delays of the Webb Telescope, it is no wonder to me that the ambitious Artemis missions will be delayed like this too.

As I can't like the post with a laugh emoji, I'm posting the emoji here: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The graphical issues of Donamy-Thorton ISS is one of the reasons I don't like the add-on pack. However, I still longed for an ISS add-on that don't focus much more on exterior aesthetics and runs more smoothly on potato computers. Now I saw this thread and I love this add-on as it fulfills my...

Few days ago, when I just opened my smartphone for updates, I found some news about the Starlink satellite constellation and how it will change the lives of developing countries like India. I am already aware of the constellation since SpaceX launched its first batch of 60 Starlinks aboard...

In recent years, rocket launches have become so routine and common that the launches themselves have become quite boring, akin to an aeroplane taking off from runway. For instance, I don't really bother watching Falcon 9 launches unless the launch carries something special.

None right now, but you can see the relevant add-on request by @Jeremyxxx.

Yeah, but I wanted to transfer everything from my desktop to my laptop, and their memory combined is too big to be transferred by typical pendrives. So I bought a 2 TB drive to do so (and it replaced all the CDs and DVDs l currently have).

Good news to all, I have finally managed to send my Orbiter downloads to my Lenovo laptop, thanks to the 2 TB external hard drive!

Or you can use Orbiter 2016 version of the add-on directly.

..if considering USD 140,000 as low cost, which sounds expensive in Indian standards (equivalent to about 1 crore in India).

After Prichal (was Uzlovoy), we will have two Science Power Modules that will complete the Russian Segment of the ISS. Of course, that completed form of the station will last for eight years at best and only five years at worst. Compare that situation to Mir, whose completed form only lasted...

Seems like a pretty good idea, but I am doubtful on whether it is feasible. Of course, we can argue that China is the wealthiest country in the world and has a lot of money to spend on these life-saving missions.

Two days ago (in UTC), the rocket startup Astra has successfully launched its rocket, Rocket 3, into orbit from Pacific Spaceport Complex, Alaska (PSCA). Rocket 3 was originally intended to make its first flight in March 2020 as part of the DARPA launch challenge. However, due to bad weather and...

While lurking around the YT channels of space nerds (Everyday Astronaut, Scott Manley etc.), I found an interesting rocket concept called Falcon 9 Air* (or Falcon Air). Falcon Air was an air-launch-to-orbit (ALTO) rocket proposed by SpaceX in 2011-12. However, the proposal ended in the fourth...

Age is just a number of years since you are born. We generally call someone young or old by looking at their appearance rather than their age. However, not all of us (even the old-timers) can get the opportunity to go into space with minimal training. None other than the richest persons in the...
