New photos showing the B-21 while refueling, first time that the inlets are shown -slightly- from above. The inside of the inlets are probably edited in the photo but the overall geometry is impressive hi-res photos:

Screenshots from the RQ-180 (?) that appeared in Larissa Greece and this sensor carried by Scaled Composites (a NG subsidiary) Proteus. Look very similar, probably not a coincidence! sources:

NASA is using GoPro cameras for the external shots for Orion during Artemis II, but as usual with COTS great in space missions the model is a bit older than the latest one, so currently they're using GoPro hero 4 black!

video from just a year ago, with Mike describing what was probably the coolest moment during his historic (and far from easy) spaceflight with SpaceShipOne, the release of M&Ms inside the cockpit! *notice the blue foam SS1 prototype on the shelf!

Mike Melvill build a VariViggen (the first kit plane plans sold by Burt Rutan) and went to Mojave to show it to him, he was hired instantly and stayed until he became the first pilot who flew a commercially developped spacecraft into space, he was 64yo at the time. RIP legend

Article saying that a B-2 (!) landed on a military base in Larissa, Greece because of some issue The photos however showing something that's neither a B-2, nor a drone like RQ170 Not sure how credible is this or if it's actually a US aircraft

Speculative render by Andrei Avarvarii on the upcoming Ferrari Luce. His predictions are usually very accurate but this is wild. If Luce is indeed this wild, it will make quite an impact. Like the interior (looks even cooler here!) it is retro done right

A ridiculous plan with a huge oversized landing module that requires multiple orbital refuel missions should be executed flawlessly in order to survive. HLS development doesn't look flawless so far, many match better executed projects have been cancelled or reassigned before

Unfortunately OX Delivers is about to enter liquidation. The innovative FWD was designed (by Gordon Murray!) as a cheap but capable truck that can be assembled on site from kits. Later it was converted to electric and OX switch to a service provider
