I used to use Sunday Punch's Wobbly Rockets pack, but that is no longer updated, instead we have the NovaPunch pack - combining the two most popular parts packs into one.
All the launches for the last few weeks of 2023, a summary of the year and a look forward to 2024

In advance of a presentation on the progress of Starship & Super Heavy workers at SpaceX's Boca Chica facility have been adding wings, engins, plumbing and other features in preparation for stacking the entire structure. Even before the presentation it's clear a number of things in the design have changed.

Now with new parts I'm trying to document how I go about developing new rocket designs, with a view to putting a 3 Kerbal Capsule on the Mun and returning it to Kerbin safely.

Astrobotic's recent lunar mission had a few advertising partnets, Pocari Sweat and DHL were the most visible, and while many people expressed surprise at this, they were even more surprised to find out this kind of thing has been going on for over 30 years.

Another round up of this "week's" news (always more than a week because I'm bad at scheduling) - 4 launches - 2 Soyuz, 1 PSLV & 1 Astra.
A whole bunch of cool NASA space science things happened. JWST published calibration images.
And Jared Isaacman is back for more Spaceflight - paying so he can test a SpaceX Space Suit outside the spacecraft while orbiting the Earth.
