China and NASA both say by 2030.
With latest starship testing, the whole Artemis program debate on continued
development of SLS will be reviewed. at some point…
The same Dragon capsule that trapped those 2 test pilot astronauts on the space station for over half a year? And had to be rescued by SpaceX? But of course you’d post something like that. Will probably spin it to be a negative for Musk.
Huh ?
Crew Dragon is SpaceX craft.
As stated, only those are crew certified for launch.
Your welcome.
Starship/super-heavy not yet certified.
Maybe that’s why they are doing these tests? I guess testing is bad in the case of anything Musk does, according to your posts.
I doubt that orion is crew certified. It’s first maned flight was a failure and the crew was rescued by spacex
You stated they were way ahead of Boing. I gave you facts of where
NASA certified launch systems stand. Starship is not on the list at this point.
So your statement was in error in that regard.
No idea how you reach that second statement and conclusion.
Sure you win.
Re Dragon, my mistake I meant Boeing Starliner stranded those astronauts. That’s the part SpaceX is way ahead of Boeing.
If Starship gets crew certified by end of year, the whole use of the full
SLS block in the Artemis program has to be questioned again.
I’ve read the full block flight to the moon could be over $2 billion per launch.
All non reusable, except the capsule. But, and this is where it gets political,
it funds lots of contractors and employs thousands. Current admin calls to
cancel use of SLS after Artemis III moon mission.
Expert opinion seems to be Starship crew certification is at least a year away.
NASA core focus right now is genetics tbh, surviving deep space travel.
Seriously ?
Do tell us more or links.
Know what the budget is for that ?
I’d be interested in that too.
They literally call the program Genes in Space
But make sure to post the link’s political rating first.

In 2024, GeneLab made ISS and GC data open source to the public. I am about halfway through a workshop provided by NASA on how to use unix, R, and python to quantitate high throughput gene sequencing and short read data.
Genetics/Space Biology is there core mission currently and leading into the future.
I am not even sure what that means, NASA.gov
I gave an hour long presentation recently for the full time faculty that i work with on cas9 technologies, and using ai to quantitate high throughput data. If i could trust yal i would share the video when i post it to youtube.
I even defend two primary research papers and discuss an incredible paper published in nature magazine as well.
All sounds interesting; would be curious what percent of NASA budget is
dedicated to all that.

NASA does not have a separate budget line item for “Gene research”. Instead, this type of work is funded through the agency’s Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) Division, a small part of the larger Science Mission Directorate. For fiscal year 2024, the BPS budget of $87.5 million represented just 0.35% of NASA’s total $24.875 billion budget.

Unsure, if you care to learn more there are several solicited and unsolicited research opportunities, post doctoral fellowships, and opportunities to support your pHD dissertation.
I would try to rationalize rice university if you have a background in material sciences, aerospace engineering, as they are without a doubt the institution to consider. My focus is cancer biology, cellular death, and stem cell induction.
Just keep clicking links until you find what you’re looking for.
Thanks; I was just interested in what they are doing, from a 50,000 foot overview,
in regards to space flight. Don’t think I ever heard much about this.
Wait, does it involve Sydney Sweeney?
