Michael Nicolls, senior vice-president for #Starlink at #SpaceX : “We’ll be able to launch more than 50 satellites 🛰️ on every launch [using #Starship] and we’ll begin launching in 📆 mid-2027”.

A Starship test flight is expected in the next “four to six weeks”. Asked whether SpaceX’s priority was to reach the #Moon 🌙 or #Mars 🔴 first, #Shotwell said both were important to the company’s mission https://www.ft.com/content/de219ce9-75d1-4559-b6d5-b37ae26175f0

Short answer: Try Shotwell. It's really a photo "manager" but it includes automatic gallery-style viewing features, time-sorted. It should be close enough to what you need! 🤞

Technobabble: I wouldn't call this a "Linux" problem. For instance, the same Linux kernel is part of both GNU/Linux and Android, but the issue is broader: "everything is a file in a directory tree" is how Unix has worked since the 1970s, and all its descendants follow that model — including Apple's desktop and mobile systems. On phones (and dedicated cameras), camera apps save images to well‑known directories and gallery apps read and index those folders. The same method works on any #FreeDesktop environment: keep your photos in ~/Pictures and use, e.g., Shotwell — it will automatically read the folder and show a gallery when you open it if you enable "watch library directory for new files." I hope this info helps your quest.

#Shotwell : "#Falcon9 will fly for six to eight more years, and then everything will be moved to #Starship"

The Falcon retirement date news was likely celebrated 🥳 by SpaceX’s medium-lift rocket competitors, who could step in and offer dedicated launches to customers that don’t need Starship’s volume capacity https://payloadspace.com/spacex-leadership-map-out-the-future-of-the-starship-program/

SpaceX Leadership Map Out the Future of the Starship Program

Over the past few weeks—with growing confidence in the Starship program—SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell and Starbase General Manager Kathy Lueders have been publicly mapping out what to expect from SpaceX and Starship in the coming years.
