New Hypersonic Space Plane Is Called the “Sexbomb” for Some Reason
O,.o.
A Canadian aerospace company has chosen an eyebrow-raising name for a hypersonic space plane it plans to launch in 2022: “Sexbomb.”
Space Engine Systems (SES) announced that it wants to launch the, uh, Sexbomb in Manitoba, according to a press release from the company. The vehicle will be used to test the company’s spacecraft engine prototype.
Of course, you might be wondering what’s with the name. Perhaps it was inspired by Tom Jones 0 or maybe the employees are all just huge Scott Pilgrim fans. Or, more realistically, maybe it’s just a grabby name from Elon Musk’s meme marketing playbook.
Russian Space Agency Head says ‘SpaceX Is Qualified To Fly Russian Cosmonauts’
In an interview with RT, the president of the Russian Federation’s national aerospace agency, Roscosmos, expressed satisfaction with the number of trips performed by the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation’s (SpaceX) Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS).
After being developed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Dragon recently achieved another historic milestone in aerospace history by ferrying a private crew to an orbit higher than the International Space Station (ISS), which serves as a global space laboratory.
Roscosmos uses Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft for its crewed flights, and it plans to stop its ISS missions by 2024. The station includes components from all over the world, and it will have spent 22 years in orbit in November, having been the only destination for travelers to space.
