This is CBSI on the world.

Behind the Black,

happy birthday, Bob Zimmerman, the month of February.

Your donations and subscriptions are most welcome

because the world is not going to end this month.

Any of that.

We turn now to startups, great promise, commercial space.

Bob, there's a whole mess activity out there.

Yeah, I've got a whole bunch of different stories, and I'll just do them all at once.

He's all to do with rocket startups.

These companies haven't launched yet.

The big one is Kilmore Space in Australia.

Australian-built rockets called Airs Rocket.

They have now gotten all their licenses finally after three

years of red tape. And they've now set March 15th for the first launch of their eris rocket

from their own space port on the eastern coast of Australia. And if they do it, there will be all the other

rocket startups that have been around for the last four, three or four years in Europe and

Australia, and they'll be the first

to get off the ground. So that's big news. Another German startup, I saw aerospace. This one has

been in the lead recently. It has now announced, it's completed all the static fire testing on its

spectrum rocket, and it's going to set a launch date very soon. It didn't say when. It's going to launch

from the NDA spaceport in Norway.
