My background is in aerospace and while I’m not an expert on COPVs, I’m familiar with their design. Carbon fiber overwrap is really good for internal pressure applications or in ot…

We decided against launching them because the laser would have a limited power supply and could only deorbit X amount of debris before completely depleting its power supply; someth…

and the Kessler Syndrome is NOT helping either

> The Soviets started using it because it would provide good coverage of their very nordic territory They also used it to surveil/recon the United States as it can loiter in US air…

One of my first startup ideas I pitched to YC was to deorbit the inactive LEO satellites/debris as as service utilizing kilowatt-class lasers utilize radiation pressure to degrade …

Hey Kevin and Sam, Pitch: We're ATLAS, we plan to launch extremely small cubesat payloads (x 1) How much calculations/numbers crunched would we need to convince angels to invest? R…

Sure, but it was necessary. I'd do it too if it meant my startup would survive.

Will there be info on them coming soon?

I know there was one aerospace startup in W15 but are space startups out of YC's scope?

I did my undergraduate capstone class on the Kessler Syndrome. UNCOPUOS, the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space dictate that a satellite must deorbit itse…

PR is a big thing especially with private rockets. On the CRS-1 mission, they referred to the engine anomaly that occured During ascent as a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" when re…

Id like to know more info about that aerospace startup.

There have been a lot of companies opening up offices in Phoenix, AZ. Specifically Scottsdale. If I remember correctly Weebly and Yelp have offices on Scottsdale Rd. Usually Phoeni…

I go to school (Embry-Riddle) about 45 minutes drive from Arcosanti and I have to say while I pass the signs for it I haven't been up there. I remember one of my professors mention…

My understanding was Pluto could not be a "planet" because it was not a part of the formation of the original solar system due to it being located beyond the frost line boundary [1…

Definitely convinced me. I figured life jackets on boats are what seatbelts are to cars. It's a small thing you probably should put on.

I think what they were going for is the water can be so cold you loose the sensation in your fingers so trying to get a response combined with decreased body temperature, results i…

Plane crashes can be over water. Just be sure you grab your seat flotation device to make treading water somewhat easier.
