Space X Starship is ready for launch.


Space X Starship is a new and powerful shuttle type. It's more powerful than NASA's rockets. And that large-scale reusable shuttle will be the model of the next-generation large-scale VTOL shuttles. Those shuttles will launch from the regular airfields. The regular shuttle can rise to a high atmosphere by using turbojets. And there the rocket boosters will launch.

The shuttle can use vertically aimed jet engines for rising it airborne, and then it can fly like regular aircraft until it reaches the very thin air layers. The system can use air-breathing rockets or flap scramjets. The system closes the air inlet of the scramjet by using a flap. 

Then it uses that engine as a rocket. When the speed rises high enough, that system can start breathing air. And then, it rises out from the atmosphere and closes the flap again. In rocket mode, the rocket scramjet uses an oxygen and fuel mixture. When the flap is open the system breathes the air into the scramjet engine.

Those shuttles will not need special bases. The thing is that those next-generation shuttles don't need special runways either. They can launch from any launchpad like a parking lot if there is a portable fuel supply unit. That separates oxygen from the air. And those shuttles can use ethanol or hydrogen along with chlorine as fuel. 

If those shuttles use oxygen and hydrogen as fuel, those rockets will not pollute at all.  Electrolytic systems can make hose hydrogen and chorine along with oxygen from seawater. So one version of the launch site for those very powerful rockets from the sea areas. That thing solves the noise problems. 

There is a possibility to use counter-noise to keep sound waves in the launching areas. And that decreases the noise problem near launching sites.  But the systems can also use things like sonic tornadoes or LRAD systems that close the soundwaves behind the noise wall. 

Electrolytic systems can use electricity that is from the ships. Or the system can use green electricity like floating solar cells. There is also a possibility that the shell of those rockets will put the tube, where water flows through the turbogenerator. That system can deliver electricity for the electrolysis system.  The large-size multi-use space systems are the next-generation tools for civil and military applications.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
