Building Musk’s path to Mars
by our John Strickland.
To the public, the media and even some of the space community, the
last year for SpaceX has not seemed to be progressing that fast.
However, right before our eyes, what Musk calls “stage zero”, the
complex launch tower and associated platform and tank farm, was being
designed and built and is now almost ready to support launches. Steady
progress has been made in the production of and design improvements to
the two main space vehicles, the Starship stage and the Super Heavy
booster. The capacity to build more vehicles at Boca Chica is shortly to
be four times larger, as a much larger high bay building nears
completion.

The SLS: too expensive for exploration? by our John Strickland.
Many members of the space community have spoken out strongly against
NASA’s plans to develop the Space Launch System (SLS), disparagingly
called the “Senate Launch System” by some and the
“Franken-Rocket” by
others. It should be noted for fairness that, to a large degree, this
wrong design has been forced on NASA by a Congress bent on keeping
current space jobs in their current locations.
