Cyclist mini-towing micro Accommodation!

 Home-builds more common than Ever?

People are now finding it too expensive to get overnight accommodation and if they can, it may not be quiet as one would expect, budget or luxury! 

So many are turning to the micro homes that are for sleeping and preparing a basic meal or keeping out of the rain and other bad weather or just a rest from Cycling?

Many of these designs are no more than 2 meters long and one or just over four feet wide and have a gas burner, with flew, while having various electrical connections for a outside shower, toilet and others, while the weight empty for the road should be less than 8.5 Kilos and pulled by a E-Bike of individual choice?

Not many make the remit of having cooking facilities, three windows and a door and storage for bedding, coats and basic cloathing, radio, laptop, camera, and batteries, and other connections for powering up and limited lighting!

Satallites Military and Commercial. Part-One.

Reagans Laser Satellites Plus.

About two years ago amateur astronomers noticed a unidentified flying object making regular orbits of the Earth, at first they thought it was a satellite in an inner orbit?

But that would mean it might collide at some point with the International Space Station, NASA then had to reveal it was a new type of mini Space Shuttle known as the X37.

Science fiction and the dupe of former U.S President Mr. Ronald Reagan had become a reality. In one of the James Bond films a recovery vehicle was deployed to capture satellites from both the Soviets and the Americans.

The X37 was being used to maintain damaged military reconnaissance equipment in lower orbit, if not replace or update. Speculation arose that Israel and NATO were probably also having a share in the U.S. Project?

NASA Adopts X-Planes.

A British Concept.

I am a bit limited to my night sky videos of only the Moon, since it is the nearest object in the night sky to catch apart from the International Space Station (ISS).  NASA has announced this year, 'That it has found a replacement to its former Space Shuttle, quite a profound bit of tech.'

The Space Shuttle was really 1960's tech in the 1990's and even beyond the millennium was costing a fortune to maintain. A mini shuttle (X37) was developed to carry out sole military operation and was secret, until the amateur astronomers observed its orbits.

The X-Plane that is now being considered was a British concept thought up by the Astronomical Society in the 1970-80's in Vauxhall, London. U.K. 

This concept aircraft could be launched either by rocket platform, as the Shuttle or take off on the piggy back of another larger aircraft and fire off in high altitude into Space. 

It would then make its return under its own power just like a conventional aircraft, where as the Space Shuttle was really a giant glider. If the X-Plane concepts are ever built, we will have our first true Space Ships, now that Star Trek marks its 50th Anniversary.
