Congratulations to SpaceX
SpaceX launched their first ever Superheavy/Starship combo. While the flight wasn’t a complete success, it was an amazing achievement. As they’ve proven before, they will look at the data and revise and improve. Can’t wait for the next one. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger who would have loved it.)

X-37B OVT-6 is home
Regular readers of this blog know I am fascinated with the X-37B. It has landed after 2 1/2 years in orbit. Story here. They are telling us more and more regarding what is being done on each mission, but the parts they aren’t telling us are the ones I find interesting. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger, who would be fascinated by this.)

Space
Just within the last day, this and this happened and barely made any news. Space launches are becoming very common, which is both good news and bad news. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

We know what we got from the space program….
Tang and freeze dried Ice Cream. I was amazed to learn of some of the things we got from WWII.
