- Rocket Lab touts the qualification of the upper stage of its new Neutron rocket
They are still targeting a first launch this year.
- On this day in 1960 the first weather satellite, Tiros-1, was launched
Took the first weather images from space, reshaping how weather would be forecast for the rest of history.
- On this day in 1968 “2001: A Space Odyssey” premiered at the Uptown Theater in Washington, DC
While many still rave about this film, and I myself literally had a mind-blowing experience watching it for the first time (without any drugs in my system), the movie has not aged well. Each time I watch it my opinion of it as a film goes down.
