Smart Satellites, Space firm to launch biggest private rocket

I going to be talking about to news report one fro i ( page 2,21) newspaper by Kumal Dutta, and the other news report from University Southampton Hartley News Alumni Magazine Spring Edition 2011 ( page 5). The first one you could take that as being a bit of fun but when you read the next newspaper clipping it not funny any more.
Aeronautics : Space X, a firm in California, plans to launch the most powerful private rocket ever, a freight carrier called Falcon Heavy, next year : Space. Private firm steals march on NASA with plan for most powerful rocket in history. I will write out the full text : "The space race is no longer just between nations. Space X a private firm based in California, has stolen a march on NASA by unveiling plans to launch the most powerful private rocket in history: Named the 'Falcon Heavy,' It will be able to carry more cargo than a fully-laden Boeing 737 aircraft and is scheduled to be ready by the end of next year.
Space X has become known and admired ( Great fear from me) for the speed and efficiency of its products. In 2010, the firm became the first private company to launch a craft that orbited the Earth twice and landed safely with just three hours. ( They kept quite about that)
It founder, Elon Musk- the American engineer-turned-entrepreneur who made his fortune after co-founding Paypal ( takes on a meaning) - promises that Falcon Heavy will bring 'revolutionary change, not evolutionary change' to space exploration. ' The public should be very excited about this ( What planted is Elon Mark on?) It re-establishes US leadership in space, ' he said'.

After several launches, Mr Musk believes his rockets will be capable of transporting people -providing they have enough money to pay their way on a $100m fight.

The announcement comes at a crucial time for the US space missions: It's space-shuttle programme is about end and it is depending on Russian Soyuz rockets for its missions.
President Obama has announced a $6bn (£3.6 bn) plan to help private firm develop reliable and affordable rocket launchers to transport cargo and US astronauts into space.

' Private firms have been making inroads into this market,ever since 2002, but few are doing it quite as logically and cheaply' commented Professor Tim Horbury professor of physics at Imperial Collage London.
' it backs own ambition and has an extremely tight focus of development'.

The next news report will turn your heads around it turn my head around and I have wrote a letter to my local MP you may wish to do the same as me.

Smart Satellites
Southampton scientists have developed the world's first control system -Sysbrain- that will allow engineers to programme satellites and spacecraft to think for themselves."
