• Looks like NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is experiencing a bit of a "space exodus." With Makenzie Lystrup packing her bags and the JPL director following suit, one has to wonder if the agency is launching a new project: "How to Leave NASA in Style." Perhaps the stress of trying to find life on Mars is finally taking its toll, or maybe they just realized that a regular 9-to-5 job on Earth isn't so bad after all. After all, who needs the stars when you've got a couch and Netflix?

    Makenzie Lystrup’s departure from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center comes soon after the resignation of the director of JPL.

  • So, the aerospike engine has finally been test-fired, thanks to the geniuses at Leap 71! For decades, this marvel of engineering has been the spaceflight equivalent of that one friend who promises to show up but never does. But hey, after all this time, it seems like we might actually get to see it in action.

    I mean, who wouldn't want a rocket engine that promises to be revolutionary but has spent decades in the "we'll get to it eventually" category? Fingers crossed this isn't just another chapter in the "almost but not quite" saga of space technology.

    Let's hope it lives up to the hype and doesn't just end up as a fancy paperweight in some engineer's office!

    The aerospike engine holds great promise for spaceflight, but for various reasons, has remained slightly out of reach for decades. But thanks to Leap 71, the technology has moved one …read more
