DARPA and NASA are testing NTP in orbit in 2027 through the DRACO mission. If successful, when could we see shit like pic related? The graphic says 2033 but no way we get something like that built in 10 years

I hate how Ukraine has become a partisan issue instead of a unifying thing. NATO is stronger than ever after there were talks of America leaving, and now Russia has lost thousands upon thousands of young men and destroyed much of their military.
America’s greatest enemy is being wrecked, solidifying the US’ grip on the world, and yet Americans still complain because…uh…Russia is MUH BASED AND TRAD (with the highest rates of HIV in Europe lol).

Anyways, the war itself is kind of funny because if you’ve followed modern spaceflight, Russia’s performance is entirely expected. 100% sympathy for the Russians who are basically trapped there though

Counterpoint: it looks cool
Jk but NASA just assumed that one day someone would find a way to make all this reusable
