- Blue Origin reports a successfull dress rehearsal countdown and 38 second static fire test of its New Glenn rocket
 This is in preparation for launch on November 9, 2025, carrying NASA’s two Escapade Mars smallsat orbiters. It will be the second New Glenn launch, about 10 months after the first.
- Spaceport startup NordSpace joins the Global Spaceport Alliance (GSA)
 Neither Jay nor I have ever heard of GSA, but that means nothing. Nordspace’s Atlantic Spaceport Complex in Newfoundland is pushing to beat the much older spaceport startup in Nova Scotia in achieving the first launch from Canada.
