It could support non-combat activities such as humanitarian relief operations and medical missions.
Commercial space company Sierra Space, which is developing the shuttle-shaped Dream Chaser spacecraft for transportation solutions, has signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) transportation command for point-to-point global terrestrial delivery of military materiel and personnel.
Both organizations will develop solutions using the Dream Chaser spaceplanes, Shooting Star cargo modules, and on-orbit infrastructure that provides unique capabilities for precise, cost-effective, and timely global delivery of Department of Defense logistics and personnel through space.
The company’s developing a rocket reuse method that uses helicopters to pluck boosters out of the sky.
Rocket Lab, the company that’s building the technology to pluck first-stage rocket boosters out of the sky for reuse, reached a new reusability milestone, a press statement from the company earlier this month confirmed.
For the first time, the company fired up a Rutherford engine from one of its Electron boosters that had been recovered after flying to space.
Plentiful, safe, energy that burns up nuclear waste as fuel could be provided as soon as we build these reactor, There is no excuse for us freezing this winter! Watch and learn. Share widely to get the word out!

Thankfully, no crew were onboard for what would have been a terrifying ride.
One minute and four seconds after the launch of an uncrewed flight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard launch system on Monday, September 12, the rocket suffered an anomaly.
Explosive footage shows the New Shepard capsule’s solid rocket escape system fire up to safely eject the capsule away from the rocket’s first stage.
This will make solar the cheapest type of clean energy.
The biggest challenge with solar power is that it can be produced only during the day. This is also one of the major reasons why many people and industries abstain from investing in solar panels because they are not a stable source of power. However, 26-year-old innovator and entrepreneur Ben Nowack claims to have developed a method that would allow solar energy production during the night as well.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage reached orbit for the 14th time, while Starship will soon go orbital for the first time ever.
SpaceX is readying Starship for orbit. The private space firm fired up the engines of its Starship prototype, Ship 24, as part of a static fire test that brings it closer to launching the fully reusable spacecraft to orbit for the first time.
SpaceX lit all six Raptor engines on Ship 24 for a few brief moments starting on Thursday, September 8, at 5:30 p.m. EDT (2130 GMT) at its Starbase South Texas facility.
NASA — National Aeronautics and Space Administration has tapped SiFive and Microchip Technology Inc. to create a space-centric RISC-V processor: the High-Performance Spaceflight Computing chip. At heart of the HPSC will be SiFive’s X280 64-bit RISC-V cores, which include ML acceleration capabilities.
Designed to replace existing systems still using a processor design from 1997, the RISC-V-powered chip will offer 100 times the performance.

Dreaming big isn’t something Jeff Bezos has a problem with.
And true to form, the multi-billionaire’s vision for the world that his great-grandchildren’s great-grandchildren will live in is pretty wild to imagine.
The Amazon and Blue Origin boss says a trillion people will live in space, there will be “a thousand Einsteins and a thousand Mozarts” and we’ll develop other planets, leaving Earth a beautiful place to be.
Hunting for interstellar objects in our solar system may have a new venue: the moon. Finding out if they crashed there likely will require astronauts to go hunting.
