Hello everybody and welcome to the TerTech News Network (TNN)! Today, we have lots of news to talk about today. First up, let’s go see our first segment, SpaceX Starship.
And it looks like SpaceX is all in on the orbital flight! Super Heavy has gone through cryogenic testing, and Raptors have been mounted! Meanwhile, it looks like there is lots going on for SN20, including the thermal protection system! Meanwhile, the remaining sections have arrived at the launch site! Along with the newest cryoshell! But that’s a lot to talk about, so let’s go to our next segment, Branson vs Bezos, the race to space tourism.
And it looks like we have finally found out who the paying passenger is! It’s Oliver Daemen, who at 18 years old will be the youngest person to visit space, breaking the current record by Ghermon Titov at 25. It looks like Jeff’s not gonna let Richard take the checkered flag! Meanwhile, Branson, along with Beth Moses, Colin Bennett, and Sirisha Bandla. Oh come on, I just can’t choose! Which one will you choose, and which one will you recommend for me? Will you choose New Shepard with their abort system, or SpaceShipTwo with their air launch and runway landing? And which one would you recommend to me?
And now let’s get into our next segment, all the orbital launches we saw over the last week!
Unfortunately, there were none, but we did see an orbital landing! CRS-22 has landed, and it made a splash! The recovery ship was GO Navigator! And also, Orion and Starliner are ready! Orion had been mounted with it’s abort system, while Starliner went to be mated with the Atlas V. Meanwhile, the first Atmospheric Satellite Reconnaissance System satellites have launched! The first launch was by Rocket Science Co on a Bravo 10, followed the next day by an Echo 4 with the ASRS X-4 test satellite! Meanwhile, Monsieur Baguette of JL Aerospace was BEHEADED! He forgot to quick save at a crucial moment, and thus, he was killed by a guillotine. In response, TerTech made a gravestone and a funeral dress for the astronauts of JL. Funeral is to be planned soon. Meanwhile, the Starborn SM-1 crew, including TerTech’s first astronaut, has arrived at the Space Center and is ready for launch. They are training now. Meanwhile, the rocket is now out on the pad. And that concludes our TerTech news coverage. Tune in next week for another bit of news! TerTech out.
UPDATE: Oliver Daemen was supposed to fly on a later flight, but was moved to tomorrow’s flight because the winner of the auction couldn’t fly in time. Also, the SM-1 crew consists of six Starborn Aerospace Astronauts, four BSIAP astronauts, and eleven third-party astronauts in a group called the “Unified Crew”, making the majority of the total SM-1 crew.
