- 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.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.
All editions are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors, with the ebook priced at $5.99 before discount. The ebook can also be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.
Autographed printed copies are also available at discount directly from me (hardback $24.95; paperback $14.95; Shipping cost for either: $5.00). Just email me at zimmerman @ nasw dot org.

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.

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.
