Space Flight in 2023

" summary

Overview of 2023 spaceflight progress with concrete wins and failures: Falcon 9 lands first stages 150+ times and carries more tons to LEO than the rest of the world combined; Starship test destroyed a pad, causing ~150 acres of damage and an FAA probe; SLS/Artemis costs run $2–4 billion per launch. Vulcan and BE-4 development slips into 2024/2025, DART demonstration alters an asteroid’s orbit by 33 minutes, and ISRO achieves a soft lunar landing, while refueling, cryogenic hydrogen storage and sustainable lunar habitats remain unsolved engineering hurdles.
