Starship Flight 6 delayed until 11/19/24





Aw, shucks! Anyway, that's one bit of news. The other is of particular interest to yours truly. There's a new kid on the block, called Impulse, which will do space tug chores. It has a methylox set up, like the Starship. That means it could be refueled in space. Interesting. It's capabilities seem a bit limited, but that's okay.

I can envision sending a lunar landing module on one of these things, and park it at the Gateway. Then you wouln't need a big Starship to land on the moon. Although it might be useful to have it deliver a lot of payload.
