They kinda have a lot of tanks and nukes, though, so Murca will settle for humilitating them a bit. Murca, fresh after its victory in Salvation War: Part Deux, where it saved the stupid cowardly Stenchies and Anglians from the evil Thanasians, is crossing eyes with the communoids from Zenobia - who might have helped a bit with the war, yeah, but are freedom-hating communoids and must be destroyed. This version of this story was posted on and Zenobia, two terrifyngly powerful and also incredibly ideologically stubborn nations, are engaged in yet another contest of nationalistic chest-beating and dick-waving. The book is a companion to the National Geographic Channel series "Mars." A longtime writer for, David has been reporting on the space industry for more than five decades. Leonard David is author of "Mars: Our Future on the Red Planet," published by National Geographic. We have the young people with a passion to do it. "If we have reusable rockets, we can do it so much more affordably than we have ever done it before. "We didn't know back in the '60s and '70s, but we know now, that the poles of the moon are extremely interesting places, and we should go back, and we should stay," Bezos said. And "peaks of eternal light" in polar regions - mountaintops or crater rims that are always bathed in sunlight - can provide solar power. ![]() In that lunar locale, water in permanently shadowed regions, such as the bottoms of craters, can be accessed.

"I don't think there's been anything quiet about rockets in the first place," Aldrin said, "but Blue Origin is primed to make the loudest noise yet." He also detailed the company's reusable New Glenn orbital rocket, which is under development, as well as Blue Origin's powerful BE-3 and BE-4 engines. Since then, he has charted his course through innovation, and he's been quietly breaking barriers with Blue Origin," Aldrin said.Īldrin highlighted Blue Origin's New Shepard, a fully reusable, vertical-takeoff/vertical-landing system that will fly suborbital space tourism and research missions. He watched Neil, Mike and me journey to the moon during Apollo 11 in 1969. "Jeff Bezos told me on a recent visit to Blue Origin that he's been dreaming of space since the age of 5 years old. "I pride myself on thinking out of the box … of being innovative," Aldrin said, saluting those same characteristics in Bezos. ![]() (Image credit: Cat Vinton) Out-of-the-box thinking Taking part in the July 15, 2017, gala at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, left to right: Apollo 7's Walt Cunningham Michael Collins of Apollo 11 Buzz Aldrin and Harrison Schmitt of Apollo 17. ![]()
