Hi,
Has anybody been following even a little of the many space projects around the globe? A bunch of governments and corporations are working on a lot of different things. Some amazing things are going to immerge from this, I'm sure. What would you like to see happen?
Personal life and your private thoughts always effect your career. Research is the intellectual backbone of game development and the first order. Version Control is crucial for full management of applications and software. The better the workflow pipeline, then the greater the potential output for a quality game. Completing projects is the last but finest order.

Alot of advances are just propaganda from NASA to keep its budget and from commercial companies to raise capital and pump stock value.
Pretty much the only active space vehicle is the Soyuz, a design made 50 years ago. SpaceX actually lost the US goverment contract 5 days ago to Lockheed Martin,
and Lockheed Martin is famous for building a plane that doesnt work just to keep leeching money from the US (google F35 debacle).
China and India license Russian space tech to make their own variations.
Theres this Jaxa japanese channel on youtube, I like it (even noting understanding shit) cause they upload vids of astronauts in space doing theyr stuff, like exercising and eating...just for the sake of my curiosity. I always wandered why not everyone do this..I mean, jeez, so few ppl go to space, not everyone can testimony ppl living on 0 gravity. And its HD =D

??? I haven't seen anything in the news about SpaceX losing any contracts, but rather a few about military contracts they were never given a chance to bid on. I haven't seen anything about them losing their existing contracts with NASA and such.

Wrong. SpaceX in particular is doing some things that nobody's ever done before. In just the last few months alone, they've successfully soft-landed the first stage of their flagship rocket downrange from the launch site using the stage's rocket engines (NOT parachutes), which is something nobody's ever done before. Just in doing that they managed to demonstrate the feasibility of supersonic retro-propulsion (which I'm told some at NASA didn't think was feasible). Hardly "propaganda." Also, they are a totally private company, so they are clearly not looking to "pump stock value," at least right now.
Some forumgoers over at NASASpaceFlight.com are restoring the (extremely garbled) RocketCam footage from that propulsive soft-landing and their progress so far can be seen here:

The only active crewed vehicle. There are many unmanned probes in operation and development, and several crewed spacecraft also in development. Plus Dragon and Cygnus have been flying uncrewed for the last little while. Dragon is in development to become a crewed vehicle.

You're thinking of ULA, not LM. And they didn't lose any contracts. It's hard to lose a contract when you're never given a chance to bid.
I hate to be blunt, but you need to do more research. Lots has been happening. :)

In "lost" I meant like "swept from their hands" because they are by far the best and it was revealed that the man who made that decision was refused by Tesla a senior position in their company so he went with someone else who guaranteed him a future after his goverment job. I know everything you wrote but you took more time to write it "pretty" :)

Really? Do you have a source on that? That would be an interesting bit of information to put out there.
