Northrop Grumman successfully launches Cygnus to ISS
Northrop Grumman successfully used its Antares rocket to launch its Cygnus freighter to ISS today.
The capsule will dock with ISS in two days.
The 2021 launch race:
5 SpaceX
3 China
2 Russia
1 Rocket Lab
1 Virgin Orbit
1 Northrop Grumman
The U.S. now leads China 8 to 3 in the national rankings.
From the press release: From the moment he is handed a possibility of making the first alien contact, Saunders Maxwell decides he will do it, even if doing so takes him through hell and back.
Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him.
The vision that Zimmerman paints of vibrant human colonies on the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, and beyond, indomitably fighting the harsh lifeless environment of space to build new societies, captures perfectly the emerging space race we see today.
He also captures in Pioneer the heart of the human spirit, willing to push forward no matter the odds, no matter the cost. It is that spirit that will make the exploration of the heavens possible, forever, into the never-ending future.
