Step aside SpaceX, there is a new heavy launch vehicle in town!
On the latest episode of Continuum, we spoke with Nick Orenstein, Co-Founder & COO of HStar Space Transport, about the newest phase of the commercial space industry and what lies ahead. We discuss HStar's place as a promising emerging heavy launch vehicle to rival that of SpaceX by providing a multi-purpose spaceship that can support a daily launch cadence while opening up a global market for human spaceflight.
With SpaceX so extremely focused on its rockets and its destination (the red one), who is left to focus on the people? Enter HStar Space Transport, which will be capable of not only transporting cargo, but satellites and humans as well, placing human passengers as their top priority.
Listen to or watch the full episode to learn how Nick and HStar Space Transport plan to lead the way for modern heavy launch vehicles in the newest phase of the commercial space industry!

This week, we have a special live recording of Continuum podcast while watching the historic first launch of SpaceX’s Starship. Co-hosting with our founder, , is science communicator and creator of the YouTube Channel Space But Messier!, Tony DiBernardo.
Watch along with us as we react to the Starship launch live, chat Star Trek and Star Wars Theories, ask ChatGPT personal questions about Elon Musk, and so much more!
Also, check out our opinions to this week's lightning round questions like:
- Would you rather have an alien or android copilot?
- Guess what ChatGPT defines as the world's best space-themed songs
- Who are Elon Musk's best friends according to ChatGPT?
- What do you ACTUALLY think about the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy?
We also regret to inform everyone that Tony has actually seen an embarrassingly little amount of Star Trek... (sigh) we'll see how this goes. Can we convert him?
Also, be sure to check out the video of our live launch watch podcast episode on the Celestial Citizen YouTube Channel!
*Point of clarification* - the SpaceX livestream did provide a countdown clock, but there was not one on the NSF livestream which is why we were surprised when Starship launched.
