A human round trip would be huge of course. But there are so many hurdles to overcome before that's demonstrated viable.

Catch me if you can!
Spolier : Nonminative determinalism? T - 0:15 - Lift off from a lovely morning at Mahia. T + 2:30 - MECO and staging. T + 7:50 - Video catches up with telemetry from stage 2 and battery jettison is seen. Just after that, stage 1 starts to generate plasma around the engine end heat shield. T + 8:15 - Plasma picks up a bit, and if you've ever watched a crew return in real-time, you know that the plamsa burst makes radio comms difficult - so they switch to the chopper cam as it cruises around off Banks Peninsula for the catch while telemetry is tricky... Maybe next time. All data is valid data! Also, Sweden is probably stoked their satellite is now in sun synchronous orbit, so mission win! |

Wow - about 30 minutes ago I was out on the patio staining the furniture for BBQ season, and heard a massively noisy chopper - yep, a very forlorn Sikorsky S-92 was taking the low level GA route home up the coast to avoid the standard controlled airspace approach.
Not quite as cool as those people standing on the Florida beach getting the double sonic booms earlier in the week, but I'll take it. |

I.e. A base on Mars. Not probes. And I don't think just a human round trip to Mars would be a milestone. I meant just an unmanned round-trip to prove the craft can do it - that still has not been done yet - certainly not with a reusable setup. Feed into that landing then taking off again as another milestone. Again never been done AFAIK. Last edited by _indigo1 : 5th November 2022 at 11:31. |

Is there someone somewhere missing out on an awesome credit, or is the colourisation all done by AI now?

There are some image credits in the article, but I don't know what they represent:

LC-2 - Virginia
Waiting for RocketLab to be happy with upper atmosphere data - so the launch is on hold at T-12:00
The range does look interesting with all the red lights. Spooky! At the 40 minute mark, you get the on-hold music... Contrasting command centres - Kiwis are all in black, and sitting in Darkmode. US chaps have ties on... Last edited by StN : 19th December 2022 at 12:17. |

I feel like a salute is in order. RIP good buddy.
I missed putting my name on that one. Mine's on the Parker Solar Probe, and that's still a couple years away from finishing it's mission.
