How does the brush work in freefall?

You mean in a microgravity environment? I assume the bristles of the brush have some stiffness to maintain its shape and function. If you meant how the the brush was inked, that I can only speculate. I've noticed the brush is not inky black, as it would be the case if it were a traditional calligraphy brush dipped in charcoal ink. I wonder if the brush is pre-soaked/coated in some kind of chemical and sealed prior to liftoff, and the surface of the scroll too is coated in a chemical, with the result being that when she put the brush on paper, the two chemicals react to produce the black brush strokes.

Ever since Galactic Energy got two for two with Ceres-1 they've been on a roll, also evident in the amount of money they raised this year.

I was like some of the others who was thinking why are all these companies bothering with little all solid rockets when they should be working on Falcon-9-isk vehicles. But it's evident now you need a little rocket at first to prove to your investors that you're serious about commercial space and not just here to con people for their money.

I'm kind of surprised LandSpace seem to have so much funding considering they didn't have luck with their ZQ-1.

They start earlier than other companies to make the first ever Chinese private carrier rocket to fly. And the CEO 's background is more a financial guy than an engineer.
The ZQ-2's launch is crucial for them. IMO the C round funding can only support them to finish the launch site+ few ZQ-2 rockets.
