Space flight not as easy as it Seems!

 This week we see a Moon lander flop over and the Musk Star-link Fail.

Space is still a dangerous place to be and what sets out for it does not always function, even with triple checking the systems, something that NASA learned over the years with the initial loss of rockets and then the disasters with the Space-shuttle and now even connecting to the International station remains a problem?

But many lesser nations have made it to Mars and the Moon, if not also to our Sun and we don;t get to hear much about them, because of our biased media who just cannot accept that they have been out-done!

Working together was seriously damaged under the Biden administration, but now Trump is fixated with Musk, cooperation with Russia might return to save the day?

Meanwhile China has its own Space station and a lander working on the dark side of the Moon with great success, the European space agency has many probes making breakthrough discoveries and the NASA New Horizons in now approaching a strange object well beyond its last target of Pluto.

Airbus A320/321Neo's

 With the Embraer E190/95?

They are both moving ahead and taking the Aviation market off Boeing and all of its problems with the 737 MAX-8/9/10, despite them all flying and many are safe to a point many are not and fleets are being stood down over bad build and safety!

But Airbus is filling the market place with their Neo versions of synthetic fuels and other upgrades making the successful A320 into the A321N and this will fill the gap for many Boeing operators?

Embraer of the other hand is fulfilling the Domestic market for a short landing capability and semi-electric powered engines with their new generation of E190/95E and these planes are becoming more popular than the Airbus A319 Baby Bus.

Airbus has now flooded the U.S. with the A330-200/900 and the A220-100/200, something that the former U.S. President Trump tried to stop?

Pollution! Part-Two.

The failure to Re-cycle!

There is no demand to reuse the plastics, computers and vehicles that we have. just like food, building materials and clothes?

We live in a manufacturing generation of wanting the latest of everything, without considering the costs of what is being left behind!

One of the great breakthrough was the Tesler cars, but as in times past the cost of each unit was too high and to much boasting gave false pretences, this is the problem with the Airbus A380, its too costly to run as in the past Concorde was!

Many trains and buses along with service vehicles are moving in to new energy, but electricity is still being produced by the burning of fossil fuels.

Very little investment is being put into public transport and since the crime rate is rising many want their own vehicle to travel in because they fell safe and go where we want to at any time day or night?

Boeing 737-MAX

Grounded across the globe since Sundays Ethiopian Losses!

One has to wonder why Boeing did not stop the flights of this aircraft, when they knew it was a having technical problems with its computers?

Perhaps one reason is just shear greed and ignorance, that if you sweep it under the carpet it will eventually go away!

Today Britain has stopped over flights of this type, joining China, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore, Ethiopia, Mexico, Indonesia, Fiji, S-Korea, Thailand, and one U.S. airline, while Canada is considering!

The 737-series has become the worlds workhorse in aviation and is the most common transport aircraft since the 1970's. Only Airbus is now catching up with it A318/9/20/21 types and others airlines have opted for the Embraer series!

The Conventional?

Stuck with Now!

What we have today in technology, engineering and transport will still remain around for some time yet? Teething is always a problem with new technology, it works fine until its out trying to what is demanded of it?

Recently the U.K. has suffered from a railway cock-up failure which has not as yet fully resolved itself, yet shipping, aviation and vehicles all over the years have suffered a similar fate with breakdown, crack failures and engine problems!

Movement is big bucks today, ships provide coal, ores and grain along with chemicals, fertiliser and when things are late windows are missed and monies are lost? Many people do not understand that we cannot sow crops anytime of the year, steel has to keep rolling in the supply of sheet materials for car plants, timed foods!

Aviation is not just about moving people from A to B/Z, its also the military and specialised cargo from live produce to, flowers, horses and mail, packets that also share some of our aircraft! New Tech is promised and it will gradually come in the shape of machines may not radically change mush, but the way they are powered will!
