Gwynne’s chat with Matt Desch:



Having watched much yet, and doubt anything new, but always good listening to Gwynne.

Edit to add: someone has now posted the highlight reel that was part of Gwynne’s talk

Dang it, it's been deleted.  Anyone got another source for the video?
PSA #1: EST does NOT mean "Eastern Time".  Use "Eastern" or "ET" instead, all year round, and avoid this common error.  Google "EST vs EDT".
PSA #2: It's and its: know the difference and quietly impress grammar pedants.  Google "angry flower its" .  *** See profile for two more NSF forum tips. ***

Not yet I’m afraid. But I have added the new SpaceX highlights reel that Gwynne showed.

Caught me by surprise, but Paul Wooster gave a short pep-talk at LEAG2018 a few minutes ago. The meeting is live-streamed, and marked as recorded, so I would not be surprised if it was posted in the future.

Didn't catch anything new in his direct remarks, and due to other interruptions I've missed the Q&A afterwards, but it was as part of an interesting panel on launch & moon landing providers at LEAG2018's Thursday morning session. If I figure out where it is posted for future retrieval, I will either update this post or make a new post.

You want to be inspired by things. You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great. That's what being a spacefaring civilization is all about. It's about believing in the future and believing the future will be better than the past. And I can't think of anything more exciting than being out there among the stars.

I really appreciate this thread to read and listen to information directly from the source. I haven't yet seen posted the recent Gwynne Shotwell interview on NPR's Marketplace. So here it is:

A relatively recent talk by Gwynne Shotwell expressing the importance of software at SpaceX and recruiting for those talents.

Hofeller: SpaceX is interested in doing dedicated rideshare missions like SSO-A on a regular basis. Would be great to do them one or two times a year. #smallsat2019

Hofeller says SpaceX will be rolling out a “more formalized” smallsat launch plan in the near future. #smallsat2019

Dava Newman welcomes Gwynne Shotwell to MIT. Gwynne is giving a talk here in 10-250

Gwynne gave an inspiring talk about SpaceX. Nice discussion of Starship point-to-point.  I also appreciated her straightforward acknowledgement of past failures among the successes, a refreshing break from corporate-speak.

Gwynne’s response to Q re Starlink impact on astronomy is here.

Great to see @GwynneShotwell at MIT today! She says 18 months until Starship flies and <5 years until @SpaceX puts cargo on Mars.

Not upcoming, but Paul Wooster gave two talks at the 2019 Humans to Mars Summit a few weeks ago. https://h2m.exploremars.org/
 
Human Exploration Extensibility from Moon to Mars. Fairly standard overview of SpaceX vehicles, but with more of a lunar emphasis than I've seen before. Paul starts at 00:23:00.

Living off the Land: In-Situ Resource Utilization. Paul starts at 7:35:45 in the long stream. Not sure if anything there is new information, but I learned some things.

Stark contrast between NASA SLS architecture and plans for moon and Mars vs. SpaceX to say the least.  Seeing so many SLS rockets on that master slide made me cringe; if SLS flies that many times, that's going to a large portion of the entire NASA budget.  It amazes me that those two presenters could keep a straight face and discuss two approaches that are diametrically opposed.  One obviates the other to such an extent that you're comparing different generations of technology, separated by 50 years.  Apollo (not even Shuttle because SLS is a throw-away step backward) vs. New Space.

Yeah, they were definitely talking past each other, had their scripts and had to stick to it.

I would've liked to have seen some SpaceX ISRU demos/tests/updates... they're making visible progress on Starship, but autonomous ISRU on the scale required has to be a long-lead project as well.

Humans are the best autonomous systems we have.

OK, maybe the best. But humans will be way too expensive as autonomous systems get better.
