They are not your ordinary soldier - when the Navy SEALS are in trouble, the 920th and their elite group of pararescuemen, also known as PJ's, are who they call.

NASA conducted a successful 500-second test firing of the J-2X rocket engine on Wednesday, Nov. 9, marking another important step in development of an upper stage for the heavy-lift Space Launch System (SLS). SLS will carry the Orion spacecraft, its crew, cargo, equipment and science experiments to destinations in deep space. SLS will be safe, affordable and sustainable to continue America's journey of discovery from the unique vantage point of space.

On August 31, 2011, NASA's Space Shuttle Program office closed its doors thirty-nine years after the shuttle program was born. The next day, the world didn't end. That shouldn't come as a surprise, although it most assuredly has to some people. In fact, despite the dire predictions and doom-saying form a segment of the space community, the end of the shuttle program doesn't herald the death of exploration.

| NASA Announces Design For New Heavy-Lift Space Launch System |
| Wednesday, September 14 2011 @ 01:09 PM MST

|

WASHINGTON, DC - NASA has selected the design of a new Space Launch System that will take the agency's astronauts farther into space than ever before, create high-quality jobs here at home, and provide the cornerstone for America's future human space exploration efforts.
This new heavy-lift rocket is key to implementing the plan laid out by President Obama and Congress in the bipartisan 2010 NASA Authorization Act, which the president signed last year. The booster will be America's most powerful since the Saturn V rocket that carried Apollo astronauts to the moon and will launch humans to places no one has gone before.

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL - NASA, Alliant Techsystem (ATK) and partner EADS of North America of Salt Lake City have agreed to collaborate on the development of the company's Liberty Launch System as part of the agency's Commercial Crew Development Round 2 activities.
The unfunded Space Act Agreement (SAA) through NASA's Commercial Crew Program will allow the agency and ATK to review and discuss Liberty system requirements; safety and certification plans; computational models of rocket stage performance; and avionics architecture designs. The agreement outlines key milestones including an Initial System Design review, during which ATK will present to NASA officials the Liberty systems level requirements, preliminary design, and certification process development.

"FLY IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT". Those were the words printed on a sticker staring me in the face as I was strapped into the *such language*pit of Rob Holland's Veteran Home Loans MX2 aircraft Tuesday. Having read that, with a parachute strapped to my back, I knew I was in for the ride of my life.
