A booster fly back would be nice to see, but the he Clipper needed every bit of thrust to make sure the journey. Nice report Burt, thanks

Great piece, as always, Burt. Thanks for the exciting behind-the-scenes insights. (See if Melody can help the rest of us keep our network gremlins at bay.)

Comment on Book Review: Red Moon Rising by Azzouz Boussaha

Any country on Earth has the right to compete and go head to head with other countries. What is illogical is for this competition, especially in the field of space, to turn into war, armed conflict, or militarization of this space, or into the belief that this space belongs to it…!

One of the worst books I’ve ever read. I counted 27 shower scenes. I don’t recommend.

Comment on Space Forum August 15: Bringing Columbia Home by Steve Mayer

Thank you for sharing the details about the upcoming forum. It’s powerful to see how the recovery and preservation efforts have continued to honor the legacy of the Columbia crew. The emphasis on storytelling and the lessons learned from the tragedy serves as an important reminder of the risks and responsibilities involved in space exploration.

I was particularly interested in how the forum might address the technological advancements that have emerged from the Columbia recovery efforts, especially in materials science. For instance, have there been any significant developments in insulation technology as a result of the findings from the Columbia disaster? Understanding how lessons from the past are shaping current and future designs would be incredibly insightful.
