...there is a silver lining.<br /><br />With the bad news coming out of Scaled Thursday, it is good to hear some good news. If you haven't read the latest article about Armadillo, I suggest you should. Recently they conducted a whole series of test launches with their modular rocket design with great success.<br /><br />I would especially recommend checking out the video. The last two launches were very smooth. Strap a few of these together and they would almost be ready for manned test flight.<br /><br />I wouldn't get too worried about the disaster at Mojave ending alt.space. As Armadillo is showing us this snowball is too big to stop.<br /><br />Armadillo Aerospace Reports Progess on Modular Rocket Design<br /><br />VIDEO: Armadillo Tests the Launch Stack<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em>So, again we are defeated.

Armadillo has the basis of som pretty neat landers, at the very least. If their modular design progresses as fast as things have been going recenty they're in for a helluva ride. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

That's nice to see. Completely unrelated, but I was also thinking yesterday about how Gliese 581 is 75 million km closer to us than in April when we discovered the third planet around it. I guess that's a smidgen of good news too. Hey, it's now 3000 km closer than when I started writing this post. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>----- </p><p>http://mithridates.blogspot.com</p> </div>
