A SpaceX encontrou outro obstáculo em sua busca por "tornar a vida multiplanetária". Durante o nono voo de seu foguete integrado Starship-Super Heavy na terça-feira, o veículo mais uma vez falhou em completar o voo completo conforme o planejado, perdendo a capacidade de controlar sua orientação pouco mais de 20 minutos após o início do voo.A SpaceX interrompeu a exibição de imagens ao vivo do estágio superior por cerca de 10 minutos. Quando as imagens das câmeras foram retomadas, cerca de 30 minutos após o início do voo, a Starship pôde ser vista começando a girar.“A Starship atingiu o corte programado do motor da nave, uma grande melhoria em relação ao último voo! Além disso, não houve perda significativa das placas de proteção térmica durante a subida”, disse o fundador da SpaceX, Elon Musk, em um comunicado pós-lançamento no X. “Vazamentos causaram perda de pressão do tanque principal durante a fase de navegação costeira e reentrada. Muitos dados úteis para revisar.”A missão, batizada de Starship Flight 9, foi a terceira tentativa da SpaceX de voar a versão atualizada do Bloco 2 de seu estágio superior. Nos dois voos anteriores, a nave perdeu o controle de atitude antes do desligamento de seus seis motores Raptor, menos de nove minutos após o início de suas respectivas subidas.Em um comunicado divulgado pela Administração Federal de Aviação, a agência disse estar "ciente de que uma anomalia ocorreu durante a missão SpaceX Starship Flight 9, que foi lançada na terça-feira, 27 de maio, da Starbase, Texas, e está trabalhando ativamente com a SpaceX no evento".“Não há relatos de ferimentos públicos ou danos à propriedade pública neste momento”, disse a FAA.Antes da missão Starship Flight 9, Musk disse que realizaria uma palestra da empresa, intitulada "O Caminho para Tornar a Vida Multiplanetária", que, segundo ele, seria transmitida ao vivo. No entanto, a palestra estava originalmente agendada para antes do lançamento, mas foi adiada para depois e agora parece estar descartada por enquanto.Musk conversou com alguns veículos de notícias antes do lançamento, incluindo a Ars Technica. Nessa conversa , ele disse que havia "80% de chance de resolver esses problemas" relacionados ao estágio superior."Para realmente termos 100% de chance, é necessária a iteração do projeto do motor. E parte disso foi que tivemos que descobrir que precisávamos apertar os parafusos que prendiam a câmara de empuxo à cabeça do injetor após o disparo", disse Musk a Eric Berger, da Ars Technica.Musk disse na entrevista que a SpaceX pretende lançar a terceira versão de seu motor Raptor até o final do ano. Ele acrescentou que "a versão 3 da nave e do propulsor tem um redesenho bastante radical".Embora o estágio superior da Starship Versão 2 usado neste voo, número de cauda S35, tenha superado as falhas observadas com as S33 e S34, ele sofreu vários contratempos, incluindo um problema que impediu a abertura da porta do compartimento de carga. A SpaceX pretendia lançar oito painéis grandes que simulassem o tamanho e a massa dos satélites Starlink Versão 3.A perda do controle de atitude do estágio superior também impediu a SpaceX de realizar o reacendimento planejado de um dos motores Raptor no espaço. Este é um recurso que a SpaceX precisará em missões futuras para permitir que a Starship desorbite com segurança e realize queimas secundárias durante uma missão.As imagens das câmeras de bordo foram irregulares em alguns momentos, mas duraram mais de 45 minutos de voo. Após o término da missão, Jared Isaacman, o indicado para ser o próximo administrador da NASA, aplaudiu o esforço da SpaceX.

Are we witnessing a slow erosion of the rule of law—or a full-blown constitutional crisis? In this episode of Faithful Politics, political host Will Wright and faithful host Pastor Josh Burtram sit down with Professor Eric Berger, a constitutional law scholar at the University of Nebraska College of Law, to unpack the legal and constitutional stakes of Trump's latest moves.Berger, who signed on to an amicus brief alongside hundreds of law professors opposing Trump's executive orders against disfavored law firms, explains how these actions violate First Amendment protections and threaten access to the courts. The conversation dives into the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the legal rights of non-citizens under due process, and the broader implications of ignoring judicial orders. Berger also addresses the deportation of graduate students for political speech and how these developments echo authoritarian strategies seen around the world.BRIEF OF AMICI CURIAE 676 LAW PROFESSORS IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND FOR DECLARATORY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEFGuest Bio:Eric Berger is a professor of constitutional law at the University of Nebraska College of Law, specializing in the U.S. Supreme Court, executive power, and judicial interpretation.

This week on FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast we welcome Executive Director of APTQI (Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation) Nikesh Patel, PT, DPT and political lobbyist, Consultant to Liberty Partners Group, and a member of the team representing APTQI, Eric Berger. Nick and Eric discuss a topic that has been particularly damaging to both older adults and our healthcare profession—the continued cuts to Medicare, which have happened over the last five years. Nick and Eric discuss the most crucial ways clinicians, patients, and family members can advocate for themselves, ensuring that older adults receive the care they need and clinicians can provide it. They also talk about their work on the SAFE Act, which, if passed by Congress, would give all Medicare beneficiaries

John and I welcomed back Eric Berger of Ars Technica to discuss the recent Demo #8 test flight for Starship. As everyone knows by now, while the first stage was successfully landed at the pad, the Starship blew up before reaching orbit much at the same interval as Demo #7. Eric talked about the problems which have yet to be confirmed but are likely given recent propulsion system modifications. Also talked about was the wide and very dangerous debris field caused by the rocket's destruction. In response to a question, Eric said this fact would probably cause the FAA to take a close look at applicable issues regarding the debris field and not harming third parties. Possible changes and even timeline modifications were talked about. Read the full summary when available at www.thespaceshow.com for this date, Wednesday, March 12, 2025.

Guest: Eric Berger4.…3….2….1…. Liftoff! - of this week's episode of Weather Geeks with our special guest - Eric Berger. Launching his career as a science & space writer, Eric's trajectory would be considered - by most in the space industry - as ‘nominal'. However, Eric's late stage separation would send him on a new course to launching the website we all know today - Space City Weather. Since 2015 - Space City Weather has kept Houston informed during extreme weather events. Hurricane Harvey, the February Freeze of 2021, extreme drought to extreme floods, and last year's Derecho - to name a few. In all, you can sum up Eric's career - so far - as one small step for weather and giant leap for science-kind.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Eric Berger and His Journey05:31 Transitioning from Space to Weather11:42 The Impact of Hurricane Harvey16:10 Lessons Learned from Hurricane Harvey19:56 Experiencing a Range of Extreme Weather Events25:02 Navigating the Era of Social Meteorology29:43 Key Lessons and Future DirectionsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
