SpaceCraft Review: huge ambitions, but the early access reality BITES.

An online space-exploration and base-builder that plays like No Man's Sky's worst early months, empty planets, tedious grind, and boring crafting. It has a big galaxy, player guilds ("Corpos"), and an offline mode, but the content is shallow and progression is painfully slow. DECENT visuals and potential can't save it from being dull and raw. Recommend only if...

SpaceCraft Now Has A Solo Offline Mode: SpaceCraft : Gamesense.co

A couple of weeks SpaceCraft, the online multiplayer space exploration and building game was launched into early access.

Steam & Epic Games | Daily 1d ago

⚡️SpaceCraft just dropped an offline mode two weeks after Early Access launch, devs finally listened to the community.

Now you pick: a massive multiplayer sandbox or a SOLO cosmic conquest. Full control over your pace, no distractions. Be the sole ruler of your galaxy 🚀

Houston - we gotta launch pad problem - OR - could you please move your rocket to the side of the pad - we got a priority flight waiting behind you!

NASA Office of the Inspector General is reporting that Kennedy Space Center isn’t ready to support increased super-heavy launch cadence needed for the Artemis - humans to the moon - program.

SpaceX must launch at least 15 Starships before Artemis Human Landing Systems (HLS) can take astronauts to the Moon - many of these flights are required to deliver propellant into low Earth orbit to re-fuel space craft for the flight to the moon.

The FAA approved Starship launches from LC-39A, the pad built to support NASA’s Apollo program, SpaceX is in the process of expanding LC-39A to support Starship. gizmodo.com/nasas-moon-plan-depends-on-15-starship-launches-theres-just-one-problem-2000776200 #Space #Artemis #NASA #SpaceX #SpaceCraft #Launch #SpaceFlight #SpaceLaunch #LaunchPad #KSC #LC39A #StarShip

SpaceX is not talking about this test mission - odd behavior for them.

"Starfall" (sounds like the title of a Bond movie) launched June 23 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Starfall is a small (3M wide) payload transport capsule designed for point-to-point cargo transport. Skuttlebutt is that military missions will be involved.

“Deployment of Starfall confirmed,” SpaceX vague-posted after the launch. The live stream of the launch was cut off before the capsule deployment.

There is no indication the Capsule has returned to earth and splashed down in the Pacific ocean off California as it is designed to do, and SpaceX is keeping timeline of this mission confidential. https://satnews.com/2026/06/10/spacexs-secret-starfall-capsule-wins-faa-approval-for-pacific-reentry-tests/ #Space #SpaceX #Starfall #NASA #DoD #TestFlight #spaceCraft

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Flew In And Out Of The Solar Corona And Found A Source Of High-Energy Particles That No Existing Model Had Predicted
(When NASA's Parker Solar Probe passed through the solar corona during perihelion encounters at the heliospheric current sheet, its instruments recorded energetic protons at energies far above what existing models of particle acceleration at that location could account for.)

“… A team… at the Southwest Research Institute… and… the University of Maryland’s Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics has published an analysis of those measurements [link above]…, identifying magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet as the mechanism responsible. The proton energies detected were, in the study’s framing, approximately a thousand times greater than the available magnetic energy per particle that models of this process had predicted.
The finding matters for two reasons: it identifies a source of energetic particles close to the Sun that was not anticipated, and it raises questions about how far the existing understanding of reconnection-driven particle acceleration extends…
The Parker measurements suggest that picture needs revision. The magnetic island merging mechanism [the authors] identif[ied] can evidently produce proton populations at energies that challenge the boundary between what reconnection does and what shock acceleration does. Whether this source can explain a significant fraction of observed near-Earth energetic particle events, or whether it contributes mainly at energies and scales that remain confined close to the Sun, is a question the paper does not yet resolve…
Solar Orbiter, the European Space Agency mission operating in coordination with Parker, offers complementary measurements at somewhat greater distances. Comparing what the two spacecraft measure of the same particle populations as they propagate outward from the Sun will help establish which features originate close to the source and which are modified by the intervening solar wind. The energetic particle observations that puzzled researchers in the pre-Parker era now have a candidate mechanism. Whether that mechanism accounts for a large or small fraction of what actually reaches Earth remains the open question…”

Almost 50 years old, the Voyager 1 space craft now traveling through Interstellar space continues to operate, but maybe showing signs of dementia! 😜 In short - the space craft is acting "weird". https://discoverwildscience.com/voyager-1-keeps-sending-strange-data-from-interstellar-space-and-scientists-are-baffled-1-406760/ #Space #SpaceExploration #Voyager1 #NASA #SpaceCraft #IntersellarSpace #CosmicRays #Experiment
