Thought there was a thread on this already, my apologies for the belated post. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62964177 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/19/science/valery-polyakov-dead.html https://www.astronomy.com/news/2022/09/valeri-polyakov-record-breaking-cosmonaut-dies-at-age-80...

I've been searching for quite a long time a reason(or reasons) for the UK, Canada and Norway to have dropped out of MIDS program in 1991, just before the signing of the MIDS PMOU. They were indeed a MIDS program members since phase one. Particularly interesting is the case of UK, since they were...

Hi. Watching the other day an old video featuring the LM's Saber Warrior() what caught my attention was not the aicaft itself, but the CGI spaceplane transitioning to the logo shown at the end just as these last words are spoken: ..."the Saber Warrior is just one example of the many concepts...

A Swedish modeler named Björn Bäcklund ( https://baecklund.eu/scalemodels/ex72/modern.html ) created this 1:72 scale model of a hybrid Polish main battle tank combining the hull of a T-72 with the turret of a Leopard 2. Bäcklund created the model back when Poland had recently joined NATO in...

A collection of various South African propulsion projects, prototypes and ideas. Bits and pieces of these projects have been scattered around this site, I think it's time to gather them into one place for easy reference. Starting with this article on Cape Aerospace Technologies (CAT) designs...
