GSC Game World has announced that STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl has officially gone gold. This means the game is done, and a master copy has been sent for mass production (the game will be released on physical discs for Xbox, in addition to digital). In theory, this means no more delays are in order, although there's a famous precedent: CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077, which was confirmed to have gone gold on October 5, 2020, ahead of its planned November 19, 2020 launch date. However, on October 27, the Polish developer was forced to announce a short delay to […]
We won’t belabor the point because if you’re a normal person with normal mutuals, chances are your timeline is already doing that—this week sucked, and so will the next four years.Read more...
SpaceX's fifth Starship test flight will most likely take place in September, according to fresh comments from CEO Elon Musk. Starship last flew in June as IFT-4, which marked the first successful soft splashdowns of the booster and the second stage ship. Since then, SpaceX has been busy developing its rockets for Flight 5, and as part of these preparations, it has tested the second stage's engines and the launch tower for the highly anticipated and risky tower catch. This catch is the likely reason for the delay since it deviates from previous launches' flight profiles, and previous statements made […]
SpaceX's Starship lunar lander for NASA's Artemis program might be too big to comfortably dock with the space agency's planned lunar space station, according to a fresh report issued by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The GAO undertook a study of the space station's mass constraints, and it concluded that two of its primary components, namely the habitation and logistics outpost (HALO) and the power and propulsion element (PPE), had a combined mass that was greater than their target. It was also found that the PPE might be unable to correctly steer the vehicle in case large vehicles such as […]
In a new Starship update, SpaceX has anyone who might be concerned that the sonic booms from its Starship rocket will not be harmful to anyone present in the surrounding areas. Sonic booms are a characteristic of SpaceX's rockets during a landing since they displace the air around them in specific ways. With Starship being even larger than the Falcon 9, SpaceX has confirmed that the rocket's size means that its sonic boom will be louder and larger than the one produced by the Falcon 9 rocket. Its latest announcement follows after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a draft […]
SpaceX's chief Elon Musk has shared his predictions for the upcoming test flight of the Starship rocket in Texas. SpaceX is due to conduct Starship Flight 5 soon, and according to Musk, the test could take place late next month or in early September, depending on the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) approval. For Flight 5, SpaceX has upped the stakes by quite a bit as it will try to catch the 232 feet tall Super Heavy booster with the launch tower's catch arms. These arms are responsible for stacking the second stage Starship on the booster during pre launch preparations, […]
SpaceX is moving forward with preparations for Starship flight 5 after having moved out the second stage Starship spacecraft from its processing site on a mobile static fire stand. After the fourth Starship flight last year, which was notable for its forward flap catching fire during reentry, SpaceX decided to replace all of the ship's thousands of heat shield tiles to prepare for the fifth flight. By the looks of it, the ship might be heading for a static fire attempt before the fifth test flight to complete another pre flight test. SpaceX's Starship Flight 5 Likely To Take Place […]
Ahead of its fifth Starship test flight in Texas, and after it transported the Super Heavy booster to the pad in the evening Eastern time yesterday, SpaceX lifted the rocket on the launch mount, shows footage from local media. After a brief pause in testing activities in Texas, SpaceX has picked up the pace with its Starship tests. The fifth test will be the first time the firm attempts to catch the booster with its launch tower catch arms, and potential tests for the booster after today's lift could include pressurization tests or a static fire. SpaceX Gears Up For […]
After it conducted a series of tower arm catch tests on the pad last month, SpaceX has moved its rocket booster for the fifth Starship test flight to the launch pad. SpaceX confirmed the move moments back after footage from local media showed that it took more than three hours to move the 232 feet tall rocket booster to the launch site. Ahead of a launch, SpaceX tests its rockets by firing up their engines and pressurizing their tanks to ensure the vehicle is in working condition. Starship's Flight 5 might also see SpaceX attempt to catch the first stage […]
