Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
2010: Concept
2016: Formal mission development started
2016-2026: 10 years of development.
So total 15 years from concept to completion.
Cost: $4.3 Billion Dollars
Weight: 8000 Kgs.
Destination: L2 ( Lagrange 2 )
How far: 1.5 million miles. ( 4x farther than moon)
How long will it take to reach L2: 3 months.
1.5 million miles in 3 months is 700 miles per hour.
100x more field of view than Hubble.
Hubble is only 500 kms away. Roman is going to be 1.5 million miles away.
Roman will study:
Dark Energy.
Dark Matter
ExoPlanets
Study expanding universe. Make huge 3D map.
Why falcon heavy and not falcon 9?
Falcon 9: ideal for LEO low earth Orbit.
LEO is 500kms-2000 Kms.
L2 is 1.5 million miles.
So more push is needed. Hence falcon heavy.
Sunday morning Falcon Heavy successfully pushed Roman toward L2.
These projects are not given without proven capabilities and trust.
$4.3 billion is not a big deal. Elon can write a check.
Whats more valuable is 16 years of work that went to make this.

Congrats NASA and SpaceX

Apple’s first foldable iPhone, rumored to be called iPhone Ultra
Galaxy Zfold phone was launched in 2019.
7 years ago.
15 million Galaxy Z fold phones sold in 7 years.
I have not seen it, i don’t care. Most don’t.
Samsung ZFold phone owners will rightly be upset on 9th Sept when entire news media and X will be commenting on iPhone Ultra.
There is lesson in Brand value. (Apple and iPhone are way bigger brands)
Patience. Apple waited 7 years! Once iPhone Ultra is released, rich Gen-Z will line up outside
Apple Store in BKC, Mumbai and Saket, Delhi to pay full retail price to buy it.
Let’s see what apple has been cooking in the field of foldable phones and Sept 9th can’t come fast enough where they will reveal the new iPhone Ultra.
