Here's some of the X-20 Dyna-Soar material I received to use as reference for the model. I really like the diagrams, the shallow cargo bay was a surprise to me.

This new annotated JWST Picture of the Month features a cosmic creepy-crawly called NGC 6537 - the Red Spider Nebula. Using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), Webb has revealed never-before-seen details in this picturesque planetary nebula with a rich backdrop of thousands of stars.

🚀 Most of the world’s space launches are controlled by just three countries

｢ The world is increasingly reaching for the stars, but only a few countries have the ability to make it there. As of 2023, over 85 nations have space exploration programs, but only a dozen have active spaceports. This leaves the rest of the world dependent on countries such as the U.S., China, Russia, and France to carry out launches. ｣

Spectacular time-lapse image of Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6), taken by astrophotographer Michael Jäger.

There might have been, um, a few satellites passing by during the long exposure.

What a strange, beautiful shot of Comet Lemmon, now passing through the northwest sky after sunset.

Here you see 2 comet tails (gas and dust), plus the unrelated zigzag trail of a passing meteor. And, inevitably, a couple satellite trails, too.

You left part of the story out of the picture. I added an extra frame to the bottom of the picture to reflect 'reality' more accurately.

The billionaires investing in space don't want Star Trek ... they want Dune ... but we got Spaceballs.
