The FAA grounded the SpaceX Falcon 9 after an in space failure of the Falcon 9 upper stage. There was a liquid oxygen leak.
The garment will undergo test trials in the fall.
They claim they can produce over 1G of thrust for a lightweight device. IF this claim is true then they could make spaceships that could go to Mars in 5 days and reach near light lightspeed in a year.
Three months ago, Nextbigfuture covered Exodus Propulsion's claim of a huge space propulsion breakthrough.
Four volunteers who spent more than a year living in a 1,700-square-foot space created by NASA to simulate the environment on Mars have emerged.
SpaceX Starship will have its fifth orbital launch mission in 4 weeks and it will have the first actual booster catch attempt.

Blue Origin wants the FAA to limit the number of Starship launches at Kennedy Space Center because they may adversely affect the environment and local personnel. Elon Musk is not pleased.
Get up close and personal to a full stack of Starship on the Orbital Launch Mount at SpaceX's Starbase facility with Elon Musk. Then hear how Starship Flight 4 went when we follow up with Elon after the launch!
Earlier this month, after years of delays, Boeing finally launched its new spacecraft, designed to deliver astronauts and cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS).
Elon Musk showed Everyday Astronaut the SpaceX Starbase and rocket factories. SpaceX has a new Raptor engine that will be a couple hundred pounds lighter without a heat shield.
Boeing Starliner has experienced problems with five of its 28 reaction control system (RCS) thrusters and there have been five helium leaks in Starliner's propulsion system.
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft's return from the International Space Station to Earth will be delayed until mid-next week as NASA and astronauts troubleshoot helium leaks and try to figure out why some of the thrusters failed during the latest test fl
Elon Musk says SpaceX is targeting a Starship launch with a Mechazilla tower booster catch in about 4-6 weeks.
The Boeing Starliner, is set to undock from the ISS on June 22. This is a several day delay. During its current mission, the spacecraft has encountered a fifth helium leak and a stuck oxidizer valve.
SpaceX is upgrading Starship's heat shield with new tiles that are twice as strong as the previous version used during the flight 4 test.
