Welcome to the latest edition of TechCrunch Space. We are excited to announce the final agenda for the Space Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. Mark your calendars for October 28-30 in San Francisco, where we will gather the space industry’s top leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors to discuss the future of space exploration. This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the next big thing in space technology.
For those who missed it, SpaceX has recently made headlines with its most aggressive push against regulatory delays. In a blog post published on Tuesday, the company called for more expeditious launch licensing, fearing that the country could lose its edge in the global space race. SpaceX argues that recent delays are due to unnecessary environmental analyses rather than genuine safety concerns. The company has faced additional 60-day analyses over sonic booms and the jettisoning of a piece of hardware, which it has already deemed exhaustively analyzed.
In a groundbreaking achievement for private human spaceflight, SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 carrying a crew of private astronauts, including billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman. The crew made history when two of the astronauts performed the first-ever commercial spacewalk on Thursday. This historic event is a significant step towards SpaceX’s ambitious goal of settling a colony on Mars. The spacesuits worn by the Polaris Dawn crew, designed by SpaceX, are likely a glimpse into the attire future Mars settlers will wear.
SpaceX, back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here, Earth sure looks like a perfect world, said Mission Commander Jared Isaacman during the Dragon egress, reflecting on the beauty of our planet from space.
