SPACE: The Twinkles in Our Eyes When We Look Up at Night

The Daily Digest: The world’s newest space telescope just found something that shouldn’t exist: Hidden within images taken by the James Woods Space Telescope were subtle traces of six massive galaxies that astrophysicists argue must have come into existence shortly after the Big Bang, galaxies so old and so large that they couldn’t possibly be real.

Anthony Cuthbertson: ‘It won’t be boring’: SpaceX Starship launch may end in explosion, Elon Musk hints:

Starship is being developed to fulfil a $1.15 billion contract with Nasa to deliver astronauts to the Moon as part of the Artemis program.

Beyond that, Mr Musk sees the rocket as integral to his ambitions to send the first people to Mars, with the ultimate goal of setting up a permanent human colony on the Red Planet.

“This is a very difficult programme,” Mr Musk said at the conference. “The rocket is roughly two-and-a-half times the thrust of the Saturn V, so if or when it reaches orbit it’ll be by far the largest rocket to reach orbit. But more importantly, it is designed to be the first fully-reusable rocket ever.

“The key to expanding life beyond Earth is a fully and rapidly reusable orbital rocket. This is a very hard problem given the constraints… Earth has a thick atmosphere and strong gravity, it is only barely possible to do this, that is why it has not been done before.”…

Chad Langen: A Terrifying Natalie Portman Science Fiction Film Is Now Free Streaming … This one is actually a few years old now, and I wasn’t impressed with it. But that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t like it. I might watch it again if nothing else catches my attention, but a couple of the actresses are some of the most boring ever, including Portman. Eh, thinking I’ll give a re-watch a “hard pass”. “The Critical Thinker” has the right vibe going…
