- Stop action video showing ULA installing second BE-4 engine in first Vulcan rocket
Next comes testing and hopefully a launch early next year.
- Chinese spaceplane fantasy 1
- Chinese spaceplane fantasy 2
The animated movies at both links are intriguing, but they mean nothing until we see some real footage of real hardware. Otherwise, this stuff is no different than the decades of powerpoint presentations NASA and Roscosmos would put out about what each intended to do, while doing nothing.
- Relativity does first tests of Aeon-R engine
This is the engine for Relativity’s larger Terran-R rocket, intended to compete directly with SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
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

The mechanical complexity of the BE4 compared to even Raptor 1 appears quite significant, and is laughably obvious compared to Raptor 2. No wonder these things are rarer than hens teeth.
I guess the Bezos idiom is “Parts is parts, the more the better!”
From the Net – Object Falling From Space Caught On Video, Destroys Man’s Home And Kills His Dog
Officials in Northern California are investigating an incident in which a bright ball of light, which seemed to come from space, is a meteorite that destroyed a house in Nevada County. Witnesses from all over the region followed the light to see where it landed. And sadly, its path might have led to a home that was occupied at the time.
Speaking to NBC’s KCRA news outlet, Dustin Procita said was inside the house with his dogs when something hit his home and started a fire. “I heard a big bang,” he told the publication. “And I started to smell smoke. I went onto my porch and it was completely engulfed in flames.” Procita lives in a quiet, rural area of rolling hills where cattle graze, so it was easy for people to follow the path of the alleged space debris.
