Due to decreasing power they have deactivated another instrument.  Only 2 still running.

New Glenn has a date finally Thu • Apr 16th, 2026 6:45 AM - 9:43 AM EDT

EDIT: 1  New Glenn (NG3) is now scheduled for Sun • Apr 19th, 2026  6:45 AM - 9:43 AM EDT

They have done a static fire.  They replaced all the booster engines, made some modifications.  They do say they engines from NG2 will fly again on a future launch, they were supposed to be used on this one.

Starship and Super Heavy have both done their static fires ( 6 and 33 engines respectively).  Historically those static fires precede a Starship launch about 2 weeks later but currently the date still says May 2026.  So it could be late April to mid May plausibly.  Or not, with a new pad and redesigned 1st and 2nd stage with the first V3 Raptors for flight anything can happen. 

EDIT: 2  New Glenn 3 has flown and landed.  They have updated the NG4 (with their lunar lander prototype) launch to Projected To Launch September, 2026.  Which still leaves them with 3 December launches. 

EDIT: 3 NG 3 deployed the satellite in an orbit too low for it to be used and it will be de-orbited.

SpaceX also had their 600th Falcon 9 booster landing.

Artemis II launched and is in flight. 

Starship may not launch before May (Musk stated 4-6 weeks).

Edit Starship now saying May, 2026

Edit 2 IFT 13 MAY be orbital if IFT 12 works out well enough.

As expected New Glenn delayed, now April 2026 and no reason to not expect more delays. 

NG 3 was originally scheduled for Jan 3rd with their Lunar Lander prototype.  As previously mentioned the lander has been replaced in NG3 and it and all other NG flights scheduled for December, an obvious placeholder for "we don't know when". 

Not a good image for their "rapidly reusable" NG booster. 

Edit: I neglected to mention the super heavy booster had a static fire with 10 engines installed.  It only ran about 6 seconds due to an issue (undefined) with the ground systems.  The catch points have been integrated with 2 of the 3 grid fins (reduced from 4). 

Starship has had new tests specifically on the flaps (all 4)

The new tower has had its first modification, a heavy duty roof (seems the Starship may fly right over it on landing with engines running).  Lots of work on going with the old tower as well. 

The new assembly building?  Looks like they are planning for a big future, at least some of the doors are 90 meters tall (~295' 3").  The V1 booster is only 60 meters, V2 71 meters, V3 is 72.3 meters.

Edit 2:  A date has been set for New Glenn Fri Apr 10th, 2026

Looks like Artemis is being redesigned. 

SLS (currently) planned for use to Artemis 5. 

Artemis 3 will stay in Earth orbit and practice docking with whichever lander(s) are ready and Artemis 4 will be the landing. 

Missions are supposed to become 10 months apart instead of years. 

Eventually the idea is that Orion will dock with HLS in orbit and be carried to lunar obits by HLS which will then land and eventually return the crew to Orion and have Orion return to Earth alone.

Now will Congress go along with all of this or keep the SLS pork flowing?

Super huge thread necro BUT: Does anyone still have the installer for Sci-Fi wars? I have looked for it for LITERAL YEARS and would love to play again, and possibly host a server. Thanks!

Dynaverse II Experiences / A real-life, Honest to god, SFC OP Dynaverse server. And YOU are invited!

Hello old friends, enemies.  :D

I don't know when the last time a live server was posted here. A real, internet accessible, OP+ based SFC:OP server. That you can kill REAL people on.

Well, It's here. It's 24x7, and I would love if y'all checked it out.

I'm hosting it myself, it should have zero downtime unless something odd happens.

You can download a copy of OP (You will still need a valid CD Key!) including SFC Launcher, dgVoodoo, the Hot and Spicy 2564 patch, and matching assets for the server, so you can just plug and play. Run SFC Launcher, Change the IP Address settings, make sure all your ports are forwarded, and launch.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cJNq8mT3HjmRVSb9BpqvjGbFzyYwPNk5/view

This is hosted on my google drive, let me know if it becomes unavailable.

The server IP address is 70.48.250.247

You will have to register. Use any username, email, and password.

I hope to see you there.

Blow the dust off friends, the stars await.

And so do my plasma torpedoes.
