The Trump Mission?
For humanity to return to the Moon will cost billions if not trillions and something will have to give way, so it has been decided that the International Space station will have to go within the next few years?
The United States of America is determined to beat China getting to the Moon in this next fifteen year period and the U.S. wants to do what JF Kennedy pressured NASA to do forty years ago, but with a base rather than just landing and coming home!
The problems with this are enormous, if their is no Space station as a stepping stone on these proposed missions! The ISS has at least another twenty good years of operational service and Russia will perhaps have to foot the bill for its replacement?
A Moon base may never really become that stepping stone to Mars as is being promised, to maintain it will be very difficult even with 6% gravity over that of none? Trump wants to undermine the Kennedy legacy as much as he is doing politically to Obamas!

A changing aviation Market?
Airbus A380 and A350-100 at a loss!
The world wants smaller aircraft, rather than larger ones and in the civil commercial airline market one does not get any bigger than the Super-Jumbo and the Extra-wide bodied?
New aircraft such as the Bombardier C-series are more desirable, Embraer has taken the market with its E-Jet series and new comers from Russia, China and Japan are quickly following suite with their own versions!
Boeing has kept to a tight ship in its developments, staying with the 747-8bio-fuelled and struggling with the Dreamliner? But it has given up on the DC-9/717, for the expansion in the 737-800/900 and MAX, all of which is in demand around the globe.
Airbus has taken on the C-Series with reluctance, because it clashes with the A321-neo and similar designs that will be forthcoming?

Elon Musk!
In trouble over a failed Launch?
Space is still a tricky business we may be able to launch rockets weekly up the International Space Station as well military spying, but from time to time there will be failures since humans are not perfect and make mistakes?
Musk has promised much in relation to taking men back to the Moon after forty years and reaching to Mars, with his new re-usable rockets? But this is still new and untested systems that need to be fine-lined, even the Space Shuttle still had teething problems that NASA failed to address at the cost of precious scientific lives for the prestige!
We are only sixty-one years into the Space race exploration, man has reached Pluto and now beyond! Gone to the Moon and built several Space stations culminating in the ISS! Soviet Russia/Russia and the United States were the first to dominate this race from 1957!
But now other nations have now joined this Space club, China, Japan, Europe, India, Israel and more are coming along such as Brazil, Nigeria and Iran!

The Electric Age?
2018 Promises to be the Electric Everything!
Electricity is nothing new when it comes to machine technologies but we are now talking about a new form of fusion drive that is none fossil fuel based? The U.S. will reveal their X-57 electric space plane, but it is one of many designs that are being planned or in development around the world!
The electric lithium powered cars, buses and trucks are already here and boats, trains and ships are to follow, but many of them remain bio-fuelled and are not truly what they claim to be?
Ecology and the environment is pushing for cleaner engines that do not cause or will cut pollution levels in our large cities.
Much of what is planned is well behind by in some cases up to forty years and it is not clear as yet if the new technology will just be like diesel replacing steam, with no knowledge that it might be worse in some health aspects?

The North-Korean Crises. Two.
The size of my Button?
It is most pathetic that a world leader would reduce themselves to the deaths of 30,000,000 million people over the size of their nuclear buttons on their desks? Spineless heartless bastards, who only care for their prestige and for nothing else?
The western world is telling lies about N-Korea, while it is lying to its own people about what it claims it cannot really do? But this does not excuse the limited means that both or all have to start a devastating war!
The dangers lay with the spread of nuclear radioactivity from the far-east to around the world, many nations will be effected and those who are already struggling with financial and medical costs will not be enabled to cope!

The North-Korean Crises. One.
Chumping at the Bit!
North-Korea is defending itself from a hostile west, rather than what our media claims is their mad dictator! This small nation does now possess a viable nuclear weapon, one that is much improved on the U.S. bombs that were dropped on Japan in 1945 that ended World War-II (1939-45)!
The problems of starting a war of this time, is that of the long period of no testing of platforms on all sides and the N-Koreans not as yet having a stable enough ICBM to take-off and reach its target? On the other hand the west is known to have a high failure rate in their missiles of either going a rye or failing to detonate?
So hopefully nations and intermediaries will still want to keep talking and not be offended by Korean cultural blustery?

Strange visitor to near Earth?
Approached and made a sharp Turn?
Astronomers are mystified to this object that last week entered our solar system at high speed and departed at an almost 90 degree angle, faster than it come in? The object was small, possibly no longer than forty metres and its trajectory was very unstable, leaving many wondering was it a tailless comet or a wayward asteroid?
Those who had to chase it out of our system found it hard and it is not known if any images of it are available? The much speculation of an alien visitor of course has been dismissed, but since we have been sending signals out into space it would not be surprising that if there are other intelligent life forms they may want to investigate us?
