Simulating Lockheed's Reusable Lunar Lander Concept
Engineers from Lockheed Martin recently presented a design concept for a giant reusable lunar lander designed to operate from the Lunar Orbiting Platform/Gateway - so I figured I'd simulate this using Kerbal Space Program.

faster,-higher-and-more-secret-than-the
At Palmdale Airport they have a display of a SR-71 and an A-12 next to each other, as well as a D-21 Drone and a U-2. This is the only place I know that has both aircraft next to each other, making the small differences much more obvious. The A-12 predates the SR-71 and wasn't made public until 1981, long after it stopped flying.
* Actual speeds and flight ceiling are classified, so, maybe the SR-71 can go higher and faster but they can't tell us.

KERBA
kerbal-star-wars-resistance-ski-speeder
Trying to replicate the ski speeders seen in The Last Jedi, mostly spoiler free, but not free of crashes and explosions. The Ski Speeder is an aging light ground attack vehicle which skims along the ground. It's a fun, asymmetrical design that I knew could be partly emulated.

After weeks of research and development we finally get to test out our new scout car with its missile system that's quite capable of obliterating uncooperative targets. And with terrible timing we get a real live officer, we just need to capture him alive. So, no missile near him.

A bit more iteration on the X-1 design and it's time for one last speed record attempt, popping out of the atmosphere and heading laterally. Then we choose to send a satellite out 1/4 of the way to the Moon to collect data from beyond the van allen belts. And finally going for a crewed altitude record in a vehicle that looks closer to a capsule rather than an aircraft.

VIRGI
virgin-reaches-orbit-with-the-help-of
Virgin Orbit have joined a short list of private companies which have successfully developed and launched an orbit capable rocket. Launcher One is an air launched, cryogenically fueled 2 stage rocket able to carry about 300kilograms to a 500km orbit.
In terms of payload it's more capable than Rocket Lab's Electron, but more expensive, and able to operate from an airport so may actually launch satellites from the UK in the future.
Virgin Orbit's website (in case you need to launch a payload)
https://virginorbit.com/
Here's Erik's video of the launch from the beach:
