See how these billionaire space ventures can vastly improve life on Earth.
I support Bezos’ dream of mining asteroids and building rotational space habitats (O’neill Cylinders) that are mini Earths turned inside out to spread life through the cosmos. That said, I don’t like the Amazon Death Star approach to blasting small businesses out of business to build their empire. That said I do hope Blue Origin starts making progress toward orbit and all the best to SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Virgin Orbit, Rocket Lab, and all the other space ventures out there!

Liftoff is set for 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT) on July 20, 2021.

Read live updates of Blue Origin’s First Human Flight that will launch Jeff Bezos and three others on July 20, 2021.

The risk of failure for New Shepard is comparable to other rockets.

Two spaceflight experts consulted by Live Science said that Jeff Bezos had decent odds of surviving his upcoming ride into space.

SpaceX is gearing up to launch the Starship into orbit, the biggest tesy yet for the ship designed to send humans to Mars and beyond.

The first Blue Origin crew will not wear spacesuits during their 11-minute journey to space and back Tuesday (July 20), according to founder and flight crew member Jeff Bezos.

Billionaires, Cathie Wood and sci-fi classics are all pushing traders with interstellar interests toward stocks and ETFs. The risks remain out of this world.

CHINA’S NEW THORIUM-BASED NUCLEAR REACTOR is well situated for being adopted for Space applications.

China is slowly but steadily positioning itself to leap ahead of the US Space program. It is doing this without pomp and fanfare, and without the idea of a “space race,” simply based upon what it requires for its future.

1) Recent noteworthy progress on molten salt thorium reactors could be a key component of future Chinese space-worthiness. Originally designed by the USA’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1960’s, they were planned to be used for nuclear powered strategic bomber planes, before the nuclear submarine concept became adopted as more feasible. They were chosen because they can be miniaturized to the size of an aircraft. By the same token, they could conceivably be used in advanced atmospheric or space propulsion.
