Lunar Helium-3 Extraction Project Reaches Key Prototyping Phase

An American startup is turning its attention to the Moon in hopes of addressing a terrestrial resource shortage. While helium-3 is scarce on Earth, scientists believe the Moon’s surface layer, or regolith, contains a rich supply. Interlune, the company behind this initiative, has just unveiled a full-scale prototype excavator—an essential part of its planned lunar

Possibly the First Detonation Rocket Flight

Venus Aerospace may have achieved a world first by successfully flying a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) in the U.S.—a propulsion system that uses supersonic explosions and could power future hypersonic vehicles. On May 14, 2025, Venus Aerospace conducted a test flight at Spaceport America near White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, which may mark
