SpaceX Red Dragon
The SpaceX ''Red Dragon'' was a 2011–2017 concept for using an uncrewed modified SpaceX Dragon 2 for low-cost Mars lander missions to be launched using Falcon Heavy rockets. The primary objective of the initial ''Red Dragon'' mission was to test techniques and technology to enter the Martian atmosphere with equipment that a human crew could conceivably use. The series of Mars missions were to be technology pathfinders for the much larger SpaceX Mars colonization architecture that was announced in September 2016. An additional suggested use for a mission called for a sample return Mars rover to be delivered to the Martian surface. The program was conceived in 2011 as a potential NASA Discovery mission launching as early as 2022, and evolved over several years once it did not receive NASA funding from the 2013–2015 Discovery Mission program cycle. In April 2016, SpaceX announced that they had signed an unfunded Space Act Agreement with NASA, providing technical suppor ...

Grand Grimoire
''The Grand Grimoire'', also known as ''Le Dragon Rouge'' or ''The Red Dragon'', is a black magic goetic grimoire. Different editions date the book to 1521, 1522 or 1421. Owen Davies suggests 1702 is when the first edition may have been created and a '' Bibliothèque bleue'' version (a popular edition, similar to a chapbook) of the text may have been published in 1750. The 19th-century French occultist Éliphas Lévi considered the contemporary edition of ''Le Dragon Rouge'' to be a counterfeit of a true, older Grand Grimoire. The "introductory chapter" was written by Antonio Venitiana del Rabina, who said he had gathered his information from original writings of King Solomon. Much of the material of this grimoire derives from the '' Key of Solomon'' and the '' Lesser Key of Solomon'', pseudepigraphical grimoires attributed to King Solomon. The first book contains instructions for summoning Lucifer or the demon Lucifuge Rofocale, for the purpose of forming a deal with th ...
