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!

The Elizabeth Line. Part-Two.
London's latest Underground Railway!
What ever you want to call it?
Cross rail is the latest venture to connect the capital of the U.K. from six directions and go under the centre of London! This is of course only the beginning of this venture which will make way for others as mentioned before?
The new fleet is to be based at Old Oak Common depot in west-London, but other depots too will be built at the six hubs! The current stock is new and state of the art, but the second generation is probably on the drawing board?
One does find the interior scheme a bit heavy, but time will tell what the public might like to see?

It is hoped that by 2020, this new line and a proposed (another) extension to Heathrow International will relieve the current crush on the whole transport system? But if you know London, you just have to have vision and keep spending the billions to keep up with more and more demand!
