The NASA-SpaceX launch to Titan sparks dreams of colonization

Recently, NASA selected the SpaceX Falcon Heavy to launch the Dragonfly aerial probe to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon.

The selection constitutes another win for Elon Musk’s launch company. It also proves SpaceX’s growing contribution to NASA’s planetary science-oriented missions to destinations such as Europa, a moon of Jupiter (launched in October) and to 16 Psyche, a metal-rich asteroid (launched in 2023).

From Book 1: July, 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 has triumphantly returned to Earth. In this alternate history thriller, President Richard Nixon puts into a motion a scheme to ramp up the space race to pressure the Soviets into making diplomatic and military concessions. Thus begins a story of high adventure on the final frontier and of low intrigue in the corridors of power back on Earth. It will prove to be the fulfillment of a dream for Wendy Pendleton to be the first woman to walk on the moon. It will be a nightmare for Cal Lauren, a political operative determined to stop the space race at all costs to fund the social programs he holds dear.

From Scott Pace: “Excellent choice. He has the technical, management, and business skills NASA needs, plus personal spaceflight experience. He’s walked the walk. Not just talked about space.”

From Jim Bridenstine: “Jared Isaacman will be an outstanding NASA Administrator and leader of the NASA family. Jared’s vision for pushing boundaries, paired with his proven track record of success in private industry, positions him as an ideal candidate to lead NASA into a bold new era of exploration and discovery. I urge the Senate to swiftly confirm him.”

Patton in Palestine #CommissionEarned

Having survived World War II and returned to America, General George S. Patton is given a new assignment by President Harry Truman. He is to travel to the British Mandate of Palestine, where a bloody war is brewing between Jews and Arabs, and give his evaluation to the President. But Patton's tendency to exceed his orders may prove a problem for the United States government. Moreover, a dark secret from his past will threaten to derail his mission entirely.

A stunning work of alternate history that places one of the 20th Century's greatest soldiers in the midst of the founding of the State of Israel.

Can Blue Origin and Rocket Lab ever compete against SpaceX?

Both Blue Origin and Rocket Lab have not only created viable launch vehicles, they have acquired customers, a prerequisite to becoming profitable businesses.

However, while both the New Glenn and Neutron rockets are competitors to the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, SpaceX is not resting on its laurels. The company is developing the Starship monster rocket, which recently underwent its sixth test flight.

Musk will have an outsized influence in the coming second Trump administration, particularly regarding space policy.
