Moon Far Side Mission Bumped
SPACE1 has bumped the Moon Far Side Mission off the 2019 schedule for several reasons:

1) More time is needed for the Manned Moon Landing
2) Lunar Orbiter Flyby makes Far Side Missions unnecessary
3) More time is needed for the Moon to have proper orbital alignments
4) Parts are delayed from California

Now that the Moon Polar Orbital Flyby is a great success, SPACE1 will focus on two more missions - the ceremonial mission to Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus, Arzachel crater array and the Manned Moon Landing. The Moon Far Side mission can happen in the future, perhaps 2022, to get a look at the China probe, see craters the Russian spacecraft photographed, and to supplement the USA lunar farside program. On the other hand, SPACE1 is seriously thinking about a quick & dirty manned landing on the far side of the Moon. It would be a spartan private space industry first as no human has ever walked on the far side of the Moon!

Space1 Fish Space Plant Transformer

Fish Space Transformer Plant

To prevent Dwarf Puffer fish in the Astronaut Training Program from becoming bored in their environment after hours and stunting their intellectual potentials, Humanoido has invented the Transformer Plant. On Earth, the plant acts weightless with a balanced buoyancy that can float as if floating weightless in space.

The unique invention is a submerged plant variety that's judiciously pruned to alter its center of gravity, so that it constantly changes floats, changing its position while rotating in the tank. This is based on its changing balance of buoyancy due to water pressure variance caused by the opposing water pressure balance of two water filter aerators. 

This greatly amuses the fish, entertains for hours, and pleases the fish who get to explore the plant in motion from an infinite number of angles, views, locations, and positions.

It's also likely the fish enjoy playing with the changing water currents as the plant is transforming its position. As Dwarf Puffer fish are very curious fish and avid explorers, the Transformer Plant offers a great opportunity of excitement and challenge.

Photos, taken with the new Fish Side Cam, show the changing transforming position of the Transformer Plant over the course of a few minutes. Also seen are numerous fish exploring the interesting plant.
