opinion Space domains

[TonyTsolakis]

In the near future space exploration seems to be more and more relevant, to me at least, with the space station and the mars expeditions, seems to me if .coms are even still relevant then, space domains could be a good investment, kind of like the robot domain craze,
anyhow there is a name on name jet up for auction right now that fits this criteria what do you guys think of the whole space names thing ? would love to know your opinions

I am less interested in the money and more interested in seeing that missionstatus.com becomes the default "go-to" web app for Spaceflight. If the right buyer with the right purchase price and plan makes an offer I will consider it, otherwise I will build it myself. @ARealRocketman on X/Twitter.

I think we have a site for that, it is called www.nasa.gov or www.nasa.gov/live.

Will they cover SpaceX, blue origin?

yes

Your slanderous statements and efforts to minimize the value of the information I have provided are an obviously ruse to advance your own agenda and promote your own domain names.

I have nothing against your message but the way you talk to others seems a little out there. I cannot say what missionstatus is worth but think it a good domain. But why would a government or company use a website "missionstatus" to track or allow others to track their missions when a company, like SpaceX, use their own website? Even NASA uses their own website even though many others are following the mission live.

Maybe, but I am sure SpaceX will cover their missions. Do you have something that points to the contrary?

It's a question. No point in pointing to that if most "missions" are private enterprises that aren't Nasa.

NASA landed people on the moon almost 60 years ago, had multiple missions that did land people on the moon, had the first working rover on Mars and currently has the farthest man made object from Earth and it is still going. The Soviets did some stuff as well like multiple landers on Venus. But there is NO question that the NASA has monopolized this space for almost 60 years.

Yes and things are changing. A lot.

The Chinese are sending people to the moon this year...

The more things change the more they stay the same. NASA currently has the Artemis II Mission Around the Moon happening right now and as far as I know are planning to land there again before anyone else. Sound like the more things change the more they remain the same. What country are you from?

Anyway, my point still stands. You said use nasa's site. If they're not going to be covering all worldwide space missions on their site then their site is not the go to for the status of all space missions.

Thus, that link is no good for seeing where the Chinese space flight is, for instance.

I mean it is good that the Chinese have landed on the dark side of the moon, it is a real accomplishment, but the US literally landed people on the moon while Mao Zedong, the largest mass murderer in history, was leading China to the deaths of 40 to 80 million deaths, around 60 years ago. China has that one accomplishment while the US has many more. Who knows what scientists could have lived to help China dominate the space race?

But I really do not see a need for a single website for "missionstatus" since we should have open news coverage from the countries that have a free and open press as well as the companies themselves having live updates on their websites, if they even wish to let the public know what they are doing. I am not saying the domain is bad but it is not a game changer.

Yes it all hinges on whether there is interest in a central place to find out space info like that.

I also am a domainer but praise whatever higher power you believe or do not believe in that Namepros.com has a place on this site for anti-American bigotry 24/7/365. https://www.namepros.com/threads/the-usa-political-thread.764342/#post-4351454

I would not have even cared what country you were from but that thread sets the bar for bigotry and hate.

Why are you telling me this? Wrong thread???

Well you started acting like NASA was not the major player in space. It still is.

 

[PHILIPPE RAVEL]

I have this one

I don't think I did...?

It is. But I asked if Nasa's site would cover SpaceX, blue origin etc.

Then I alluded to the fact that private companies are getting involved more and more and other countries too.

I'm willing to call a truce, but there's no point in reading things into what I've said that I didn't say.
