With Starliner's continued problems on the ISS, Boeing loses, SpaceX wins, but ultimately human spaceflight suffers from a lack of reliable human spaceflight transportation. Multiple transportation systems are a sign of a healthy spacefaring species. Too few means of transportation can halt programs and delay progress. NASA needs multiple human spaceflight providers and dissimilar redundancy to ensure it avoids the mistakes of the past. Watch to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eqK-FQum

Can your space flights be used to medically evaluate astronauts for future space missions as an alternative to the vomit comet? How long is the weightlessness portion of the flight? Can the time be extended for this purpose? Has this purpose been marketed to ESA?

SPACE FOR HUMANITY CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT "... [Spaceflight] isn't the work of one man or even a group of men. It is a historical process which mankind is carrying out in accordance with the natural laws of human development." ~ Yuri Gagarin As we celebrate human’s desire to reach the stars, we at Space for Humanity feel it is integral to make this a conversation about how spaceflight can benefit humanity as a whole. Our two Citizen Astronauts are the embodiment of this philosophy. And from our vantage point, the future looks bright for human spaceflight.

Boeing’s Starliner: A New Dawn in Space Travel Boeing’s innovative Starliner capsule has taken to the skies, embarking on a critical mission to the International Space Station. With its cutting-edge sun visors, the Starliner is not just a spacecraft; it’s a beacon of progress in our cosmic quest. This journey is more than a routine spaceflight; it’s a testament to human resilience and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. As the Starliner docks with the ISS, it carries the hopes of a generation eager to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. Let’s celebrate this monumental achievement and look forward to the wonders that this mission will unveil. The future of space exploration is bright, and it’s happening now. #NextFrontier #BoeingInSpace #StarlinerJourney #ISSMission #AerospaceInnovation #Innovation #ISS #Whatsbuzzing #Qafto

Watched this incredible story today, and highly recommend you watch it. We all need a reminder of how easy it would be to give up on our dream; but how worth it is not to, to keep going! #recommend

09-05-2023 Voyager 1 Lifts Off Toward an Interstellar Journey On Sept. 5, 1977, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft lifts off atop its Titan/Centaur-6 launch vehicle from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, now Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, in Florida. Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, were originally launched to conduct closeup studies of Jupiter and Saturn, Saturn's rings, and the larger moons of the two planets. After completing these missions and more, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to reach interstellar space and is now the farthest human-made object from Earth. Scientists think it will reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud in 300 years. Follow along with Voyager's live mission status. ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/ghHk6Ez9 Voyager #voyager #spaceexploration #spacescience #spaceindustry #cosmos #interstellar #traveling #farthest #nasa
