MQ-25 first tanking
The USN announced that they had conducted the first aerial tanking to refuel a manned aircraft. (an F-18). I am still puzzled by this use of a UAV. It would seem much more useful in a combat role. However, it may be that the MQ-25 may eventually become multi-role and this is the way to introduce it into service and gain experience with it.

Big, if true.
Elon Musk claims that SpaceX is cranking out a Raptor rocket engine every 48hrs. If that is true it is an amazing production feat. It is also what is required to get to the level of spaceflight that the US needs. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Space is an inherently dangerous place. This was demonstrated in a small way by this story. In addition, the story contains a nice summary of Canada’s space contributions.

More of this, please.
These types of tests need to be conducted a lot more often, especially by the seaborne forces of the USN and our allies. If you would have peace, prepare for war.

The Roc is airborne again
This is good news. I was worried after Paul Allen died, that it would never be used.
