The U.S. a new path in Space?

Russia maybe Excluded?

NASA is being guided by the Trump administration into a new path of Space research and travel that breaks the long established cooperation! Currently the U.S still needs the Russians passage and re-supply to the International Space Station, but the new Gateway programme will see them be cut back to just one module in the whole project?

Artemis is the new project to return to the Moon to establish a south pole base that will lead eventually to getting humans on Mars by 2030? The sad thing is that many other nations such as China and Indi might pull it off with the Russians in a direct flight and return?

Airbus New Kids?

Airbus A350-900/100 and the A220-100/200.

Two new types of aircraft are hitting the world, but the question to be asked is the demand their for them? The Airbus A350 is a wide body, but what it lacks is capacity, still being smaller that the successful counterpart the Boeing 777 series!

On the other hand Airbus has agreed to buy the Successful Canadian Bombardier CS-100/200 and rename them the A220-100/200 to save the workforce in N-Ireland, after being pressured from the U.K government!

Since Farnborough it is not known how many Airbus A220's have been ordered, but the second generation A321 and the Boeing 787-9/10 seem to have done very well! Sometimes rushing into projects is not wise and knowing what is wanted ahead is a wise move to hold back for a time?
