A lot has been said about how Kitten Space Agency and Kerbal Space Program are similar. But it has become clear that there are a couple of major differences. Today, we're highlighting six of them:

During my childhood in 1969, we were inspired to build little cardboard #rockets to fly to the moon. Our protoype's flight lasted only the length of one jump. We would never have thought of spending all our pocket money on it, celebrating these seconds as a success, or polluting the environment under the applause of Bavarian politicians.
After a false start, we had to clean up every last shred and realised that we had screwed up. Afterwards, we preferred to watch ants on Earth.
A German test rocket aimed at kickstarting satellite launches from Europe fell to the ground and exploded 40 seconds after takeoff from a Norwegian space port on Sunday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/30/world/science-health/german-test-rocket-failure/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #isaraerospace #germany #norway #space #nasa #rockets #space

www.esa.intAriane 6 takes flight for the second timeEurope’s newest rocket, Ariane 6, took flight for the second time from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at 13:24 local time on 6 March (16:24 GMT, 17:24 CET). This was the first commercial flight for Ariane 6, flight VA263, delivering the CSO-3 satellite to orbit. Arianespace was the operator and launch service provider for the French Procurement agency (DGA) and France’s space agency CNES on behalf of the French Air and Space Force’s Space Command (CDE).

Le Monde · SpaceX perd le contact avec le vaisseau de sa mégafusée Starship, comme en janvier
Couple of years ago I remember someone asking why does Europe continue with the Ariane program, why not save the money and buy launches from spaceX or Soyuz.
Well. Looking at the political landscape. I think the question should now be, why is Europe so behind with low cost space launch capability?
T - 1:29 min until a Falcon 9 Rocket will bring 3 satellites & a Nova lander to the Moon's South Pole!

Yes, may be 7K-OK so possibly as early as 1967. But so many! Nice pic.

The proof of concept shows that at the current achievable flow rates of #CO2 and water, it is possible to meet #NASA’s 16-month deadline for refueling #rockets on #Mars 
. It can be scaled further to meet tighter rocket refueling 
deadlines. The use of Martian nighttime temperatures for heat 
exchange can potentially reduce the dependence on power-hungry cryogenic methods for gas liquefaction. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9118664

The German government supports a mobile satellite launch plan in the North Sea.
The German Ministry of Transport has approved €870,000 for a planned offshore spaceport.
This will enable the German Offshore Spaceport Alliance (GOSA) to develop a “holistic” solution for the spaceport for primarily commercial orbital and suborbital launches by the end of September.
