Here are the top stories in Cedar Park-Leander today:

1. At Firefly Aerospace's Cedar Park headquarters, one of its rocket engines was tested that left viewers awestruck. "With 230,000 pounds of thrust (lbf), Miranda is building on the success of Lightning (15,759 lbf) and Reaver (45,000 lbf) with proven engine scalability." View all the scientific details at Republic World.
2. Check out these new real estate listings in the Cedar Park-Leander area: 2400 Lost Woods Bend is just under 3,000 sq. ft. and a new-build home. 2521 Dapple Gray Lane is a four-bedroom home with "smart-home" connections. 145 High Plains Pass is in the sought-after community of Orchard Ridge, full of family amenities. More listings are at Cedar Park-Leander Patch.
3. A workshop will be open to the community on March 30, to discuss a "proposed Leander Municipal Athletic Complex at South San Gabriel River Park." Neighbors can input their ideas at this event and view proposed renderings of the future park before the design phases begin. For more information, visit City of Leander.
