well I mean universities sometimes do cubesats

Yup and they do some really cool stuff

iirc the uni one of my sisters attends made an instrument that went up on the Parker Solar Probe

Dang that's so freaking sick!

it is

I want to work on something like that

same

Although I'm considering not going to uni cus fuck debt

I tried working with a team. Progress kinda frustrating

trade school more like based school

Why not consider uni? If you study hard you can aim for scholarship

perhaps

I already get free college so

¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Then why not go to Uni

Plus

Space industry is growing like crazy

Aerospace is a hot feild

I would chase after it ASAP

It's like historical opportunity

It's just mind blowing to be able to study and work on hardware

That'll go to space and be more and more accessible

Go for aerospace. I wanted to, but I’m not good with math and physics.

I was doing a time lapse of the cassiopeia region last night, and a plane flew by. The line with dots next to it at the bottom third is where the plane few by.

photobomb

yup

it's actually quite annoying

I'm happy I wasn't actually trying for a good image because it would have been ruined

Haha happened to me to

Ruined my startrail

@Yukon

I agree with you. With the private sector finally allowed to unleash, I would not be surprised if we have a mission to Mars in the next 10-15 years. Space tourism is really no more than a decade away assuming no regulatory issues.

If the Democrats don't get in the way, I really see it happening. They would probably demand that the space agencies hire "diversely" and drive their prestige into the ground. Or those businesses would pack up and go to other nations, turning the US into another starving authoritarian state.

Without the senate, Artemis is going nowhere

I’m honestly not too worried about any sort of democrat interference in the Artemis program

Ah yes. They'll be peaceful until the crackhead decides he wants to do what his primary school bus driver did for a living.

That defense gave you the freedom to say that idiotic thing.

Gotta sleep. Good night.

It’s honestly very feasible to get costs down to roughly $100 per kilo witching the next few years. Many seem to have ignored the colossal advances made in the past decade or so especially with SpaceX and blue origin. Additionally, asteroid mining has the potential to be far to lucrative to ignore and as launch costs decrease feasibility increases immensely.
