Next year marks the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, but we're facing the same British imperial enemy our founders fought. This July 4th offers the chance to forge alliances that can finally defeat them.
New Glenn Launches, Starship Explodes. Plus, Nuclear Oil Breakthrough
From rebuilding our industrial base to advancing cutting-edge technologies, the incoming administration's plans promise to propel our nation forward, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and reasserting American dominance on Earth and beyond.

Aiming for approximately 12 New Glenn launches this year
Focusing on payload delivery while perfecting reusability
SpaceX
Extensive production infrastructure in place
Targeting 25 Starship/Superheavy launches this year
Benefiting from successful soft landings of version 1 Starships
Preliminary Failure Analysis
Elon Musk provided an initial report on the Starship loss, with expectations to fly again in February. The investigation will likely focus on recent changes made in the transition from Block 1 to Block 2 configuration.
Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity.
Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and…
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
