Happy 100th #birthday to the late, great Chuck Yeager, World War II flying ace and test pilot who shattered the myth of the sound barrier in 1947. 🥳
Yeager is seen here with the Bell X-1A which he flew to a then-record speed of Mach 2.44 on December 12, 1953.

NEAR Shoemaker became the 1st ever spacecraft to touch down on an asteroid #OTD in 2001. Although the probe wasn't expected to survive the landing, it surprised scientists by continuing to transmit data for ~2 weeks on Eros! go.nasa.gov/3JN2Vd0

Has anyone considered launching a ball large enough to be used as a repair hanger with a pair of shields to reduce the drag on launch? So the rocket would look like ===<O>
The idea would be that the ball could open up to accept smaller modules inside for repairs (then repressurized), and when not in use it could be a much larger recreation area. The shields would have their parts stored inside the ball at launch and then would be assembled inside the ball to become a pair of shield-type emergency return craft.
