Welcome ...

This site is dedicated to the visionaries that first gave mankind access to space, both through satellites and probes, and later through manned flight.

Luna - the moon
Too many years has Luna been within our reach, but just beyond our grasp.
Though not an ideal habitat, the moon represents a stepping stone towards the planets, with Mars as an achievable next step.

Though you will find information on this site regarding the details of Scaled's 'Tier one' program, this site is not intended as yet another 'News' site - there are already many to chose from (follow the links).

Please email me anything you think would be a useful addition to this site. Your help will benefit the other people who visit this site.
