Beyond Earth's Boundaries: Space Travel vs. Submarine Missions
Innovations in Orbit ☄️🌖🌙
Hello 🤗 Innovators!
How are you doing today 🌹 dear innovator? We hope you are well and planning on finishing this year strong.
We have this topic on our hands and it's one of our faves. Well… Since Elon already named Twitter, X which is hugely similar to one other of his million-dollar companies known as Space X, how much longer can we ignore this reality?
If what used to be a Twitter Space would now be an X Space (did you catch that?), we might as well talk about it.
Well, maybe 🤔 just maybe 🤌 we are taking this a bit too far. However, we are about to find out 🙂.
Today… before we dive 🏊 right in we have a question for you, but before we could even ask, we got a response from a tech tweep and it was quite hilarious 😂😆🤣.
Here…
Now, that we've had a good laugh 😀, let's get into it…
Oopsie 😬…

Let's get into it…
There's so much to keep our eye 👀 out for in the tech space and we'll be sharing a few things that Innovators need to know.
Everyone should watch out for Satellite Technology, Space Exploration, Space Tourism, Space Industry Innovations, Space Startups, and very soon, Space Sustainability.
The latest happenings in Space…
SpaceX launched three rich businessmen and their astronaut escort to the International Space Station in April for more than a week's stay, as NASA also joined Russia in hosting guests at the world's most expensive tourist destination.
It was SpaceX's first private charter flight to the orbiting lab after two years of carrying astronauts there for NASA.
A successful week's stay in space is a huge achievement in the Space industry 😃. Not that man has not ‘reportedly’ recorded the first moon 🌝 landing, however, it looks like we are taking vacations in space now.
Both manned and unmanned missions, still are being planned by organizations like NASA, SpaceX, and others.
We need to learn earn about their objectives, destinations, and the latest developments in spacecraft technology. They don't hide the info (at least not all the time.)
Outer Space or Deep Sea?
Recent news shows that this question is more relevant now than ever.
We can all agree that Space travel and submarine missions are both complex and challenging endeavors, but they differ significantly in terms of environment, technology, and objectives.
This topic is unavoidable, considering the most recent implosion of a submersible craft called the Titan operated by OceanGate instantly killing all 5 humans on board.
Here's a very interesting citation from an article by Scientific American.
“You, your crew, and your craft float in hostile environs miles away from civilization. As you set about your mission, only a few inches of metal separate you from an environment that could kill you in moments. Your life depends on the engineers who designed your vessel. All it takes is one crack or puncture to rupture your shell and extinguish your life. These conditions apply equally to a submersible in the deep sea and a spacecraft beyond Earth. Given the similar risk of sudden death, it’s natural to ask: Which is safer?”
You can read the rest of the article here.
Space Travel is not entirely safe either. SpaceX’s Starship, the largest rocket built to date, exploded less than four minutes after surging toward space in its first test flight—luckily, no one was onboard.
What the future 🕵️ holds…
Now that man is almost vacationing in Space, discussions of tourism and Space-focused Startups are arising.
That's a cue for our innovators to step up their games to dominate the industry for Africa 🌍.
We as community partners would be cheering 🥂 you on.
