This is John Batchelor, speaking with my colleague Bob Zimmerman about Sierra Space, which

announces a successful failed test of its module.

And now for sale.

Sierra Space wants to get to the lower-Earth orbit, wants to get to ISS,

but it is for sale.

Sierra Space owns the Dream Chaser, which is a mini shuttle, many years in development.

Bob Zimmerman explains.

He also mentions Blue Origin,

Pokey-Poke's Blue Origin, which also is supposed to be building a capsule to reach

ISS.

When?

Bob Zimmerman.

Zero Space is a partner in, it's a company that's making dreamtaser by the way.

It's also a partner in the orbital reef space station that's a partnership led by Blue Origin and it's

one of the three space stations that NASA has provided some funds for to build.

And here space is making for that

that space station what it calls its life modules. These are

inflatable modules and it's been doing a serious

series of tests with smaller scale versions of this module inflating it and then pressurizing

it to fail, you're having to blow up to see if it gets to, it can maintain its shape at very high pressures to make sure it's safe.

And so they now have done a complete test of failure, the second one of a full-scale version of this like

inflatable module, and it's worked.
