The Undiscovered Country

SpaceX v. Blue Origin v. China? | The end of ISS? | What’s with “Green” Propellant?


Listen Later

NASA is looking to contract out the job of bringing the International Space Station down safely. Is this the beginning of the end? ASCENT propellent is setting itself up to be a safer alternative to hydrazine propellants. And Both Blue Origin and the Chinese Galactic Energy have their sights set on overtaking SpaceX. What are their chances?

Welcome to the Undiscovered Country! This is part of my Space Brief series where I outline the top 5 most important things that are happening in the world of space. This is not going to be a super polished and super edited presentation, but a short overview of important events including some commentary about why it all matters. This is not a one-sided presentation, it’s a discussion. Did I get the stories right? Did I miss an important consideration? Join the conversation and let me know!
