August 29, 2024 Quick space link
BtB’s stringer Jay had no quick link stories today, but I thought for completion’s sake I should include this one from yesterday:
- Blue Origin’s New Shepard yesterday completed its 8th manned suborbital flight
Not much else to say. These suborbital flights are nice, but they no longer represent the future, only the past. The future will be illustrated by Polaris Dawn, SpaceX’s next manned commercial orbital flight, scheduled to take off sometime in the next week or so, depending on weather and the FAA’s intransigence.
