- Test prototype of Themis reusable 1st stage arrives at Esrange spaceport in Sweden
Themis is Europe’s government-built entry in the reusable rocket industry.
- Chinese pseudo-company Galactic Energy now targeting ’24 for first flight of its reusable rocket, Pallas-1
As Jay notes, “Looks like their date slipped to 2024 from 2023. Copying is easy, but knowing how it works is hard.”
- Sierra Space touts its Trash Compaction and Processing System (TCPS) for future long term spacecraft
According to the company’s tweet, it will reduce trash volume by 75% while recovering 98% of water for reuse.
- Astronomers find evidence of neutron star merger in archival data from long de-orbited Compton Gamma Ray observatory
Though the simulation at the tweet is cool, this discovery is somewhat uncertain, dependent almost entirely on computer simulations.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Wow, I thought Themis was purely a PowerPoint rocket. Didn’t expect to see actual hardware. Great way to start the year!
