This is something each space investor or investor considering investing in space, should see: the incredible disproportion in the space market. We can clearly see the raising of emergent markets, like New Zealand (!!), which had the same launches of India. As for the USA dominance, it opens up to several considerations: PROS: having a space startup in the US results in a easier and larger access to resources, capital, knowledge and past data. CONS: if something goes wrong within the US space agencies (see Artemis II), the entire human rush to the space exploration will be negatively affected. Let's close the 2023 with these deep knowledge and enter 2024 with the intention to improve the actual ecosystem Diegane Dione, Eva Blaisdell Lady Rocket , I thought of you, as soon as I saw it!

Just reading 'The New Right Stuff: Using Space To Bring Out the Best in You' by Loretta Hidalgo Whitesides as a part of SpaceKind 14 Cohort and from the immediate first page, this deeply resonates: 'Spaceflight accidents are not just engineering mistakes. They also often involve painfully human shortcomings. We must never forget the human failings that led to those accidents (referring to Space Shuttle Challenger, Space Shuttle Columbia, Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo). Hubris (excessive pride or confidence), unwillingness to speak up, unwillingness to listen, unwillingness to ask for help, unwillingness to accept or admit we need help, ego, and even basic personality conflicts. Any of those can kill people, crash spacecraft, and sideline our dreams. When it comes to personal growth, investing in both SpaceKind and this book - are choices you cannot go wrong with.

It's truly exciting to see the United States and India taking bold steps together in human spaceflight! The announcement of plans to send an Indian astronaut to the ISS is a testament to the growing technological collaboration between our nations. The U.S.-India initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET) is making remarkable strides, and this partnership promises to push the boundaries of space exploration. Such cooperation not only strengthens our bilateral ties but also inspires a shared vision for the future of space. Here's to many more milestones in our cosmic journey together! #SpaceCollaboration #USIndiaPartnership #GlobalInnovation

What should be India's approach to human spaceflight? Here is India's only cosmonaut, Wg Cdr Rakesh Sharma talking about his perspective to this emerging scene. https://lnkd.in/ec7Zk9M

After a 2yr break, and the bugs worked out, Blue Origin will fly #space tourists again to break the Karman Line on May 19th. Takeaways: (1) six will take the journey this time, bringing the total for them to 37. (2) The mission (NS-25) mission will last between 10-12min, based on priors. (3) Special this time, the mission will include former Air Force Captain Ed Dwight, the first Black astronaut candidate in the #USA The Karman Line is 62miles (100km) up, and it roughly marks the edge of #space where the aeronautics that permit airplane flight ends and spacecrafts take over. -GSP- #spacetourism #spaceindustry #spaceeconomy The Space Economy

Our spacecraft landing systems, also known as impact bags, are engineered with precision to guarantee a safe touchdown for spacecraft. These systems create a protective barrier with cushioning during landings, ensuring the safety of extremely heavy payloads landing on the Moon and Mars.
