TechCrunch Space: Sayonara | Results TechCrunch

Hello and welcome back to TechCrunch Space. This will be the last thing The TechCrunch Space newsletter you receive in 2024, so to all our readers, have a great holiday and see you next year.

There is much to look forward to next year. I expect to see more progress from SpaceX on Starship, major changes at NASA led by incoming administrator Jared Isaacman, Rocket Lab’s Neutron debut, and the big missions of Impulse Space, Varda, and many other startups. It will also be interesting to see if the rumors prove true that Boeing is selling its aerospace business. This would indeed indicate a new world order.

In terms of business finance, I expect to see a short-term recovery in the period of 2023, and if Elon Musk’s Department of Public Works does even a little bit of what it wants, this will greatly free up the space for control and regulation of how infrastructure works. -heavy industries (like real estate) work. The effects of the drop can be seen very quickly.

With just two weeks left in the year, it’s possible that New Glenn could still launch in 2024, but much will depend on how well the combustion test goes. Delivery time will be short…

Late action in the space has been down this year, so it was interesting to see the announcement Fleet Space Technologies that he had closed a $100 million Series D. The Adelaide, Australia-based startup has developed the ability to search for minerals from the air – and identify important deposits of minerals will be the key in the future that most depend on them (ie identifying lithium for batteries).

This week in space history

Well, we did Thanksgiving in space Several versions ago, so it feels good to watch how astronauts celebrate Christmas in space. Astronauts have celebrated the holidays on the station for 18 consecutive years, complete with miniature Christmas trees, Santa hats, stockings, and other decorations.
