Space is not just the final frontier. It’s the next big step for humanity. What we accomplish in space will define the future of life on Earth. From advancing technology to ensuring the survival of our species, the opportunities in space are massive. We’re already seeing the impact with global internet coverage, reusable rockets, and space-based research that will transform industries. But this is just the beginning. If we want to secure the future, we need to look beyond our planet. Mars, the Moon, and beyond—these are destinations not just for exploration, but for survival. The future is in space.

The world's first space plane? 👇🏽 Radian Aerospace is a Seattle-based company founded in 2016 that is developing an innovative single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spaceplane called Radian One, with aims to provide a more affordable and flexible access to space compared to current vertically-launched rockets. The key features of Radian One include: -Horizontal takeoff and landing capability, allowing it to operate from standard runways -Single-stage-to-orbit design, eliminating the need for disposable rocket stages -Fully reusable configuration that can be reflown within 48 hours -Capacity for 2-5 crew members and up to 5,000 pounds of cargo -Ability to dock with the International Space Station or future commercial space stations -Radian's novel approach involves launching the spaceplane horizontally using a rocket-powered sled system. The sled accelerates Radian One along a two-mile track to Mach 0.7 before releasing it, at which point the spaceplane ignites its own engines to reach orbit. The company is leveraging three key technologies to overcome the challenges of SSTO: -A launch system that fuels both the sled and spaceplane engines -Lightweight landing gear designed only for landing -Wings to generate lift during ascent, reducing thrust requirements Radian Aerospace aims to have Radian One operational before 2030, with potential applications including satellite deployment, Earth observation, military intelligence, and even disaster relief. Radian sees its product as complementary to traditional rockets, likening it to a "pickup truck" for smaller payloads and personnel transport in the growing commercial space industry.
