We've built a full-scale deployable aerobrake unit showcasing technology that uses planetary atmospheres to slow spacecraft, saving significant mass and cost and enabling heavy cargo delivery from the Moon, to Mars, and point-to-point missions on Earth. Lighter and larger than conventional aeroshells, it deploys in space and stows for launch, making it easily configurable to many different vehicles.

Sunbird is a nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft concept developed by Pulsar Fusion to reduce deep-space travel time. It uses a Dual Direct Fusion Drive powered by deuterium and helium-3 and is designed to act as a space tug from low Earth orbit. Still in development, it could become the fastest self-propelled spacecraft ever built if testing is successful.

PHYSICIST REVEALS WARP DRIVE THAT COULD BREAK LIGHT SPEED Physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a faster-than-light engine by bending space itself. Instead of pushing a ship, the Alcubierre Drive compresses space ahead and expands it behind. The craft doesn’t move faster than light, space around it does. Like surfing a cosmic wave, the ship rides distortions of spacetime at superluminal speed. Einstein’s relativity allows this because the speed limit applies to objects, not space itself. The universe already expands faster than light. Alcubierre showed a spacecraft could too. Source: thegalacticgal

SPACEX SENDS ROUGHLY 90% OF ALL MASS TO ORBIT Here's why that number is so dominant: It used to cost $15,600 per kilogram to send mass into orbit. SpaceX's goal: get that cost down to $100 per kilogram. That's a 99.4% reduction in the cost of reaching space. When you can undercut every competitor on price by that margin, you don't just win market share. You become the market.
