China in space

I told you so.  Latest evidence here.

Model making is good for you

So says an article on AARP’s website.  Article here. ( h/t to Mike Illuzzi for the pointer)

JF-17

News reports indicate that Argentina is interested in buying Pakistani/Chinese JF-17s.  This would certainly be an interesting development.

Congrats to SpaceX (yet again)

SpaceX launches, orbits and recovers the first all civilian space crew.  This is big.  Also, nice to see St. Jude getting some donations from the flight.  I’ll say it again. Thanks God for Elon Musk!

Model Airplane Maker video

Hale Wallace (Model Airplane Maker) has posted a new YouTube video. Go and watch it.

The Chinese are serious about space

And we need to be too.

Example 1

Example 2

Now, none of this is stuff the US hasn’t done, but the Chinese have already caught up technologically in a lot of areas.  There is no reason to believe that they won’t catch up in space, and quickly.

AScaleCanadianTV Ep.38

The latest episode is out.

F-117

Good to see the F-117 getting used in this manner.  I always thought we “retired” them too quickly.

New S-boat

This is the kit that Mike mentioned on the episode of The Scale Model Podcast that he and I were recently on.  I agree with Mike, this is a must have.

 

A bit of closure

Glad to see this family get a bit of closure.  A neat story.
