A big thanks to all who read and support my work. 💛🌗<br/><br/> <img src="https://notes.jatan.space/uploads/2023/new-business-card-with-qr-code.jpg"> <a href="https://blog.jatan.space/about">https://blog.jatan.space/about</a> 2023-11-13T14:22:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstpf2jz32wgpffcf9rq0au5rkxnd0nss80026ta3rf84kgvsny65szyqvsf5fppxqyepsgkkqg4mt0h34py76q7h0jd7dwfnt0n9kg0r2xwdzkp26 BTW I’m on Patreon if you’d like to support my independent space writing on Moon exploration and more! 🚀🌗<br/><br/>Indian users, you can directly UPI me if you love my coverage of all things (civil) Indian space! 🇮🇳<br/> <a href="https://jatan.space/patreon">https://jatan.space/patreon</a> <a href="https://blog.jatan.space/about">https://blog.jatan.space/about</a> <a href="https://jatan.space/upi">https://jatan.space/upi</a> 2023-11-12T15:44:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspdnv8upl3t855rn2xvx6q46qtvm5q403s7nmltupvq7j77rdct3czyqvsf5fppxqyepsgkkqg4mt0h34py76q7h0jd7dwfnt0n9kg0r2xwgydvjz <br/>&#34;When we do not accept loss of a single life in human spaceflight without far-reaching programmatic consequences or outright cancellations, and strive to avoid any severe injuries too, why should the rate of such harm be any higher for the people making human spaceflight happen?&#34;<br/><br/>New blog post →<br/> <a href="https://blog.jatan.space/p/a-worrisome-report-on-safety-issues-at-spacex">https://blog.jatan.space/p/a-worrisome-report-on-safety-issues-at-spacex</a> 2023-11-12T05:19:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyux22azahd4srlvrf42a7t6f6g3vprs5jcgnj7ceppgm83n56ewqzyqvsf5fppxqyepsgkkqg4mt0h34py76q7h0jd7dwfnt0n9kg0r2xwc7al9z A worrisome report on safety issues at SpaceX <a href="https://blog.jatan.space/p/a-worrisome-report-on-safety-issues-at-spacex">https://blog.jatan.space/p/a-worrisome-report-on-safety-issues-at-spacex</a> 2023-11-11T12:48:27Z
