- Rocket startup Stoke Space files permit for building launch pad at Cape Canaveral
Stoke is the company with the radical engine design, involving a ring of tiny thrust outlets instead of a main engine with one big nozzle. It has raised $100 million in investment capital, and hopes to use this design to produce a completely reusable rocket.
- Possible explosion at Shanghai facility for Chinese pseudo-company Landspace
This is not confirmed, there are no details available, and the video at the link only provides audio of a boom while showing nothing but a quiet street scene. The tweet cites “leaked documents,” whatever that signifies.
