J-2X Progress: Current Status, The End of 2012 Jan 08, 2013 11:00:13 AM | William D. Greene
 
It’s been awhile since I've written one of these articles. I could give you a big long list of all the really, really serious stuff that I've been doing instead, but that's just a bunch of feeble excuses. Instead, I'll just get down to business and give you a status report on the J-2X development effort.

J-2X Extra: Human-Rated Chili Jun 27, 2012 09:34:58 AM | William D. Greene
 
I make a mean vegetarian chili, but you can be sure that it will be different every single time that I make it since it’s always from memory and my memory ain’t what it used to be. I wing it. And that’s fun. So, what does my free-form chili cooking this have to do with J-2X?

Welcome to the J-2X Doghouse: Twist and Shout...and Steering Mar 05, 2012 05:11:05 PM | William D. Greene
 
Put a little kid into the driver's seat of a car and what's the first thing they do? They grab the steering wheel and twist.

Other than for some extreme, emergency conditions, there is nothing that stands in for the steering wheel on a launch vehicle during ascent. Without a steering wheel, per se, how does steering happen?
