    Rocket Report: SpaceX tosses away a Falcon 9; a Somalian spaceport?

    I realize that, but the function is essentially the same, why invent a new acronym to describe the same thing? Just call it the ULAVAB.

    Rocket Report: Bloomberg calls for SLS cancellation; SpaceX hits century mark

    The population of Cameron County (of which Brownsville is the county seat) is nearly 500K, hardly desolate. My family is from the area, pretty damned populated.

    Boeing warns of more financial losses on Starliner commercial crew program

    Not new for Boeing. Boeing designed and built the original flying boom system at the request of the USAF back in the '40s. I can't fathom how a former engineering powerhouse like Boeing could have become so colossally incompetent. Even with beancounters in charge.

    SpaceX conducts a mostly successful test of its Super Heavy booster

    The Rio Grande river regularly floods the basin with "fresh" water. In fact, the Rio Grande is it's primary source. Also, I'm pretty confident the relatively small quantity of water that isn't flashed into steam that ends up in the basin is vastly cleaner than the water from the Rio Grande

    SpaceX conducts a mostly successful test of its Super Heavy booster

    What pollutants? It's fresh water. LOX and Methane are gasses, they won't pollute the water.

    SpaceX conducts a mostly successful test of its Super Heavy booster

    The basin immediately adjacent to the "Bidet" (not sure if I really like that moniker) is part of the Las Palomas WMA. The water level in the basin is widely variable, as is it's salinity and it's primary source is the Rio Grande River, which is, amazingly, not salt water.

    It appears that Roscosmos really is recruiting soldiers for the Ukraine War

    To avoid a general mobilization. That would be tantamount to an admission of failure on the Kremlin's part.
