NASA should let a commercial mission save Hubble

Jared Isaacman, the billionaire entrepreneur behind the recent Inspiration4 commercial space mission and the upcoming Polaris Dawn private space flight, would like to save the Hubble Space Telescope on his own dime. All he needs is for NASA to approve such a mission.

Space Race 2.0 Is On: Chang’e 6 Heads To The Moon

Not all of China’s space efforts are focused on science or on exploration. There is a serious race to the Moon in a quest for mineral resources and China is sending us a message with this mission. Chang’e 6 will land in the resource-rich South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin. Specifically, China is targeting a crater called “Apollo” which is named in honor of America’s great lunar achievement. Apollo’s interior and adjacent craters are named for Apollo astronauts and memorialize deceased NASA employees including the lost crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Chang’e 6 will literally raise a communist Chinese flag there. The Chinese are extremely careful with protocol, any small slight is intentional.
