Earlier this year, President Trump inspired hope in many Americans that have long wished to see a resurgence in NASA’s manned space exploration endeavors, when he announced his goal to send human beings to Mars. The president was so passionate about a manned trip to mars, that during a teleconference with NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson […]

SpaceX is pushing launch technology to a new level with three successful launches in just 12 days. For the third time in 12 days, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully took off from Earth and sent a satellite payload into orbit. The rocket launched from the historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at […]

Elon Musk has made a name for himself in recent years as a man with a vision for the future.  Whether it’s electric cars to drive to work, tunnel boring machines to alleviate traffic, solar shingles for your house, or reusable space rockets intended to help bring mankind to the stars, Musk continues to push […]

The first time I ever saw a C-130 in person was as it came crashing down on a small air strip near Palm Springs, California in what was, at the time, the most brutal landing I had ever seen.  I had been in the “Fleet Marine Force” for only a few weeks, and my wife […]

Two months ago, Elon Musk’s company SpaceX made a significant leap forward in reducing the cost of reaching low Earth orbit by reusing an orbital rocket booster that successfully touched down on a drone barge after ferrying its space capsule past the Earth’s atmosphere.  On Thursday, Musk’s firm hopes to further reduce the cost of […]

Yes, you may have seen footage of this before but who can get tired of watching it! It is very surreal watching a rocket booster land itself back on Earth after blasting off just minutes earlier. This is like something you would see in a science fiction movie but SpaceX is doing it in real […]

In an official statement on Friday, acting NASA administrator Robert Lightfoot announced that NASA does not intend to fly a crew in the inaugural launch of their next generation rocket slated to take Americans to the moon and Mars, the Space Launch System (SLS). While the plan had always called for an unmanned mission to […]

Another spectacular launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Blasting off from historic launch Complex 39A the Falcon 9 delivered the Inmarsat-5 F4 commercial communications satellite to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). This time SpaceX decided not to bring the Falcon 9’s first stage booster back to a landing […]

At 7:28PM on October 4th, 1957 a rocket screeched into the sky above the Soviet Union, releasing its payload into low orbit and granting the world its very first artificial satellite. Sputnik was revolutionary for any number of reasons – many of which we in America begrudgingly ignore, like successful Soviet trips to Venus, because […]
