China cancels all new Boeing orders!

 Something not yet reported in the western-Media?

In the war with tariffs with the U.S.A. the cancellation of Boeing aircraft will be a big blow to Trump and with China and Russia returning to build their own type, spare parts for existing aircraft may be also produced in both countries!

Meanwhile Beijing has the option of now buying the European Airbuses to replace what is being refused and this will change the face of aviation in the far-east for some time to come, if other nations also cancel U.S. military contracts and adapt what they have to new types?

Copyright will be an international issue, but since the new U.S. administration is breaking all the rules anyway, it has opened a door for everyone to follow!

Six years to MARS?

Orion, Dragon and Other!

The  design and construction of several parts of a New Space ship and its launch system is well underway, as it is claimed we will have humans on the planet Mars in six years time? 

The new U.S. administration is pushing private investment into NASA and this is producing some wonderful results with the first commercial flights to and back from the International Space Station (ISS).

Today or rather now Mars is suffering a long spell of a planetary dust storm, which as yet does not seem to be improving and the discovery of water on the South-Pole has sped up the next lander programme which will be made two years before humans arrive with their own pre-built Mars base!

Life is the big pusher for these types of programmes, but also minerals that are rare on Earth and plenty elsewhere? There is also the possibility of new materials that can be worked to improve our lot down here?

NASA also wants Russian cooperation for a Moon Base and other ventures, with the new commercial re-usable  U.S. systems, this does not mean that the Progress robotic ships will not be used!
