Diagram of the next generation crewed spacecraft tested in 2020. Intended to replace the Shenzhou spacecraft, the new vehicle is larger and lunar-capable. It consists of two modules: a crew module that returns to Earth, and an expendable service module to provide propulsion, power and life support for the crew module while in space. [11]
The Block 1 version of the booster (used through November 2024) produces a total of 73.5 MN (16,500,000 lb f) [49] just over twice that of the Saturn V first stage, [50] with this total being expected to increase to 80.8 MN (18,200,000 lb f) for Block 2 boosters and later up to 98.1 MN (22,100,000 lb f) with the Block 3 vehicle.

The Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) is a three-stage partially reusable Heavy-lift launch vehicle, currently under development by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). This vehicle is designed to replace currently operational systems like PSLV, GSLV and LVM3. The project was previously referred to as Unified Launch Vehicle (ULV ...
The deorbit vehicle and the space station are expected to slam back into the thick planetary atmosphere while still traveling more than 17,000 miles per hour (27,359 kilometers per hour).
Advertising Age agreed with Business Insider that the Roadster space launch was the "greatest ever car commercial without a dime spent on advertising", demonstrating that Musk is "miles ahead of the rest" in reaching young consumers, where "mere mortals scrabble about spending millions to fight each other over seconds of air time", Musk "just ...

Blue Engine 1, or BE-1, was the first rocket engine developed by Blue Origin and was used in the company's Goddard development vehicle. On the path to developing the New Shepard launch vehicle, a crew capsule was also needed, and design was begun on a space capsule in the early 2000s. One development milestone along the way became public.
